Our Agreement:

Regarding Lead Purchasing Members:

Argyle Air receives service requests from various individuals, including homeowners, consumers, and property managers ("customers"), expressing interest in home improvement, repair, maintenance, and related services ("service requests"). These requests may come directly or indirectly through various channels such as the Argyle Air Website, phone calls, or third-party websites. We may then forward you a lead, containing information about the requested service and the customer's contact details. The details we provide about you are based on the information from your Company Profile and Ratings & Reviews, subject to amendments by Argyle Air. Leads may also be shared with other Service Professionals based on the service category.

 We don't guarantee a specific number of leads or the level of customer interest, payment ability, or accuracy of customer information. We're not involved in your contracts with customers, their creditworthiness, payments, or any disputes. Our contract isn't exclusive, and we're free to work with other Service Professionals.

 If your rating falls below two stars, you can't purchase leads until it's above two stars. You can improve your rating by acquiring positive reviews through the Ratings & Reviews platform.

No fees are due if they violate any applicable law. You authorize Argyle Air to charge sales or similar taxes on your behalf.
