Join as a Closer

APEX CLOSERS — CLOSER PLATFORM AGREEMENT
Version 1.1

This Agreement governs your participation as a Closer on the Apex Closers marketplace ("Platform"), operated by Apex Closers. By signing you agree to the following:

1. THE MARKETPLACE. Apex Closers connects vetted, elite high-ticket closers with founders and businesses ("Clients") who post closing jobs. You may be matched to Client jobs based on fit and your available capacity.

2. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. You are an independent contractor, not an employee. You are responsible for your own taxes and business expenses. Apex Closers earns a platform fee on commissions generated through the Platform.

3. COMMISSION MODEL & WHEN YOU ARE PAID. You are paid strictly on performance, and ONLY out of money actually collected from the Client. When you close a deal for a Client, Apex Closers charges the Client a commission on the sale value (standard 15%, and never lower without Apex approval). You become entitled to your share of that commission ONLY after the Client has actually PAID the commission to Apex Closers on a closed/won deal. If a Client does not pay the commission on a deal for any reason, no commission is collected, none is owed, and Apex Closers is under NO obligation and is NOT liable to pay you anything for that deal. Apex Closers never advances or guarantees payment out of its own funds. TRANSACTION CHARGES COME FIRST: all transaction, payment-processing and remittance charges are deducted from the commission the Client pays BEFORE any split — the 85% / 15% split then applies to the NET commission remaining after those charges. Of that net commission you keep 85% and Apex Closers retains 15% as its platform fee. Example: on a $10,000 sale at 15%, the Client is invoiced $1,500 commission; if, say, $50 in transaction/processing charges apply, they are deducted first, leaving $1,450 net — you receive 85% ($1,232.50) and Apex keeps 15% ($217.50). All rates are disclosed on each job before you accept it.

4. KEEP IT ON PLATFORM (ANTI-CIRCUMVENTION). This is the most important rule. ALL communication, negotiation, hiring, deal reporting, invoicing and payment with a Client you meet through Apex Closers MUST stay on the Platform. You may NOT share personal email, phone, payment handles, or move a relationship off-platform. The ONLY permitted exception is the Client's own sales-call calendar/appointment tool used to run the actual prospect appointments they hand you — but every transaction and every Client/Closer conversation stays inside Apex Closers. Attempting to circumvent the Platform is a material breach and grounds for immediate removal and forfeiture of fees.

5. CAPACITY & AUTO-ASSIGNMENT. You will not be auto-matched beyond your capacity. Base capacity is a limited number of active Clients; if you demonstrate you have a team and can scale delivery, your capacity increases. Consistent, proven high performance may unlock higher capacity subject to admin review and approval.

6. INTERVIEWS & HIRING. When matched, a Client may message you, interview you, and book a live interview before hiring. A working engagement begins only when the Client hires you and the deal is signed on-Platform.

7. DISENGAGEMENT & MEDIATION. Either you or a Client may request to disengage for good reason. Disengagement requests are reviewed by Apex Closers admin, who may mediate toward a fair resolution where possible before approving. You agree to act professionally and in good faith throughout.

8. PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT & INTEGRITY. You will represent Apex Closers with excellence, honesty and respect. No misrepresentation, no spam, no fraudulent or deceptive conduct. Apex Closers is committed to a scam-proof, trusted marketplace and enforces these terms.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY. Client pipelines, prospect data and offers are confidential and used solely to deliver the engagement.

10. TERMINATION. Apex Closers may suspend or remove any account that violates these terms. Sections on anti-circumvention, confidentiality and fees survive termination.
