OPEN MARKET LISTING AND BOOKING HELP CONTRACT FOR MOVING COMPANIES
If you (the undersigned) fill out and turn in this contract to AGMC (A Great Moving Crew), this will result in your (self owned) independent moving company becoming listed among other moving companies on AGMC's open market listing and booking help service, (like Home Advisor, Angie's List, and Movinghelp.com) from which moving customers shop for and book the services of independent moving companies. You can define and update your moving company's availability schedule, rates, and services offered. You agree AGMC has the right to use its merit based point scoring system to determine the listing order that moving companies are presented to customers, and recognize that this listing service could potentially cause your referral frequency to range from lots to none at all. You agree you will not rely on AGMC's listing service to be the sole source of your customers.
If and when your moving company's services are chosen for a job appointment, AGMC will pass along to you the customer's job offer information in the form of a text message sent to you from AGMC that describes the customer's job appointment details and contact information. If in a job description text from AGMC, your company's name (or your name) is used in conjunction with the term "Lead moving company" or "Lead" (for short), and if you reply by text with your indication of acceptance, that would constitute you contracting to be "The" moving company that is being hired by the moving customer named in that text, with your company taking sole responsibility and liability for all aspects of that moving job, including for damages, hiring and paying your crew, collecting the service bill, being insured, licenses, tickets, taxes, injuries, accidents, thefts, problems, and for everything else about that job. The fee you agree to pay AGMC for this listing and booking-help service is a percent of the labor fee you charge the customer, determined by AGMC's Booking Fee Schedule. You agree you will be personally present on your AGMC booked job sites throughout the jobs, and not subcontract the job out to anyone else.
If you have indicated to AGMC that you would like AGMC to help you find additional freelance movers to help you on your jobs, AGMC can include in the job offer texts names of suggested available moving helpers that you could choose to hire for that one job appointment. You may also decline the suggested helpers, ask for other options, or choose other help entirely. If helpers are suggested in a job text and you reply with a simple confirmation text, this would constitute your agreement to hire the named helpers as freelance independent contractors working for you for that one single job appointment, at your pre-specified pay rates, with you as the hiring party. You (the undersigned) agree that for any job appointments that AGMC helps arrange for you, AGMC would be acting only as an open market listing and booking help service, and that you (and your company) would not be working for AGMC, nor be operating as a partner, subcontractor, agent or employee of AGMC. By signing this contract you are declaring that you meet the legal qualifications required for providing your own independent moving company service, taking sole responsibility for potential ODOT penalties, worker's comp, and unemployment claims, and you agree to owe AGMC full compensation for these expenses if they are ever charged by authorities to AGMC. You agree to do your own withholding and reporting directly to tax authorities.

#2: AGMC'S BOOKING FEE SCHEDULE:
THE DEFAULT BOOKING SERVICE FEE
AGMC's default booking service fee for a moving company is $20 per man hour of the labor fee charged to the customer for that job, provided that a picture of the job invoice and associated Transaction Log entry are texted to AGMC right at the end of the job, and the indicated booking fee is paid to AGMC by Venmo immediately upon the customer's payment form clearing. To qualify for this booking fee it is also required to have texted to AGMC all past owed job invoices & transaction log pictures, and to have paid all previous booking fees. The invoice picture and Transaction log entry for a job are necessary to be able to know what the booking fee is supposed to be, so a lack of sending these equates to a lack of paying AGMC's booking fee. If a company is not current on these three things, or if a company is over due on paying money owed to customers or crewmen, that company is considered in "Bad Standing", and for any jobs done while the company is in Bad Standing the booking fee raises to $22 per man hour of labor charged to the customer. If a company remains in Bad Standing for more than a week straight it is agreed that the company will be removed from AGMC's list and there will be no further customer referrals from AGMC.
TWO HOUR MINIMUM JOBS
The booking fee for a two-man two hour minimum job is $65, unless the company is delinquent in paying their past booking fees (in bad standing,) in which case the booking fee is $80.
#3: TRUCK & SUPPLY FEES
If your company offers your own moving truck for a job, you would specify your truck fees in your application form, and you'd charge that fee to the customer and keep that truck fee for your company.
If you are renting a truck, unless you specify otherwise in your policy statement, the default truck charge agreed with customers is that the customer would reimburse you at cost for the truck rental, plus reimburse you for the gas needed to replace in the truck.
The gas fee charged to the customer would either need to be spent as gas put back into the rented vehicle, or paid back to whoever's gas it was that was used.
Supply fees charged to the customer are to be paid back to whoever supplied those supplies.
#4: AVAILABILITY SCHEDULE
AGMC isn't going to usually book a job for you at a date and time unless AGMC already knows you're available to take the job on the customer's requested date and time. This is so that the customer doesn't get stuck counting on an appointment with your services that you can't service. Customers sometimes book a month or more into the future, so you should inform AGMC of your guaranteed availability schedule a month into the future and keep your availability schedule updated with AGMC. If AGMC books a job for you on a date you said you would be available, and you end up not being available on that date (cancelling on the customer), that makes you considered unreliable, and if this happens more than rarely this will result in your removal from AGMC's listing service.
#5: REPLYING TO JOB OFFER TEXTS
If and when you get a text from AGMC describing a customer's job offer, it is recommended that you reply by text as quickly as possible, either declining or confirming that you are accepting the job appointment offer ("copy", "yes", "confirmed", "thanks", etc.) The speed of your response is important, because if you do not confirm you are accepting the job quickly (within a half hour), there becomes the chance the job offer to your company will be retracted and be forwarded on to another moving company. Also, if you are declining the job, you also need to let AGMC know as soon as possible because AGMC needs as much time as possible to try to find a substitute moving company for you.
#6: ADVICE FOR MOVING COMPANIES
If you want advice on how to increase your moving company's sales frequency, improve your company's service, and get the job done easier and more safely, you can take a look at this website's page titled "ADVICE FOR MOVING COMPANIES" and see if you find anything useful.
#7: ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Terms And Conditions are the minimum criteria required for AGMC to be willing to do business with you. If the Terms And Conditions explained on this webpage are acceptable to you, send AGMC a text (to 541 636-7386) stating "I, (your name), accept the Terms And Condition stated on the LEAD LISTING page of AGMC'S website, on behalf of my moving company (your moving company name)."
