These provisions apply specifically to provider applications, onboarding, continued participation, network standards, and participation limitations.
1. Selective Participation
Provider participation in Optima Grata is selective, approval-based, and subject to operational fit, network standards, ongoing compliance, and business judgment. Submission, onboarding, or payment does not guarantee continued approval.
2. No Guarantee of Assignment or Volume
Payment of a provider fee does not guarantee job volume, job frequency, assignment, exclusivity, revenue, or earnings. Opportunity flow depends on factors including network fit, client demand, geographic coverage, responsiveness, standing, and operational needs.
3. Provider Fee Structure
During MVP, provider participation is structured as First 30 Days — $0 and Approved Continuation — $59/month. The provider fee supports access to a controlled service network and operational coordination structure, including network participation, structured opportunity flow, coordination support, account standing, and continued eligibility for approved placement opportunities.
4. No Pay-Per-Lead / No Pay-Per-Bid / No Earnings Skim During MVP
Unless changed clearly in writing in the future, provider participation during MVP is not structured as pay-per-lead, not pay-per-bid, and not a percentage of provider earnings during MVP.
5. Good Standing and Removal Rights
Optima Grata may suspend, restrict, pause, or remove a provider or applicant from the network for non-payment, poor responsiveness, poor communication, quote quality concerns, professionalism concerns, client issues, operational risk, conduct concerns, documentation failures, or other business or standards-related reasons.
6. Activation Rule
Optima Grata does not move forward with provider onboarding, continued participation activation, renewed participation, or network-level advancement until the applicable required fee(s) have been received and confirmed where required.
7. Independent Status
Providers remain independent service professionals or independent businesses unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise. Nothing on this page should be read as creating employment, partnership, joint venture, or guaranteed business volume.
