1. Independent Business Relationship — Not a Franchise
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern participation in Service Finder Network (“SFN,” “Network,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and use of the technology and membership offerings provided by SFN. Specific deliverables, fees, territory details, and promotional offers must be disclosed in the applicable order or checkout before purchase.
Members establish, own, and operate their own independent businesses. Each member controls business hours, pricing, customer relationships, services, marketing methods, vendors, spending, staffing, the selection and supervision of employees and contractors, and daily operations. SFN does not prescribe sales quotas, mandatory advertising, mandatory fulfillment providers, or a required operating manual. The Network charges no percentage-of-revenue royalty under these Terms.
Service Finder Network is structured and intended as an independent business membership and technology licensing network, not a franchise system. Members are not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of SFN by reason of membership. Members control their own operations, including business hours, pricing, marketing, customer relationships, employees, contractors, vendors, and service delivery. SFN provides licensed branding and technology, assigned territory privileges, and optional network resources under these Terms. SFN does not acquire ownership of members’ independently owned businesses or customer relationships.
This statement describes the parties’ intended relationship and does not override any applicable franchise or business-opportunity law. Legal classification depends on the actual arrangement and governing law, not solely on the terminology used in these Terms.
2. One-Time Technology Package and Digital Assets
The one-time technology package, when purchased, covers the digital resources identified at checkout, which may include a configured directory Hub, agency website resources, templates, automations, a proprietary technology “snapshot,” implementation assistance, and technical instruction. The applicable order describes the specific items delivered.
Upon payment of applicable package fees and delivery, SFN grants the member a perpetual, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use and customize delivered SFN proprietary technology assets within that member’s own independent business, subject to these Terms and underlying intellectual property rights. That license survives cancellation of monthly membership. It does not transfer ownership of SFN intellectual property, grant a standalone resale or redistribution right, or permit sublicensing. Third-party software and services remain governed by their separate licenses and subscription terms.
3. Monthly Membership and Network Benefits
Active monthly membership provides the limited Service Finder brand license, an assigned exclusive territory reservation when confirmed in writing, access to member community resources, and any then-current member benefits disclosed for the applicable plan. These may include optional marketing resources, training, updates, group offers, technical support, and fulfillment opportunities. Availability and scope of specific benefits may change as disclosed in the applicable offer or membership updates.
Membership is billed on the recurring terms disclosed at checkout. A waived joining fee or other promotion does not necessarily waive technology package charges, monthly membership, or third-party expenses. Members remain responsible for separate domains, software, services, and other costs they elect or are required by third-party providers to pay.
4. Service Finder Brand and Territory Privileges
While a membership is active and in good standing, SFN grants the member a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use approved Service Finder branding in connection with that member’s authorized local Hub and related promotional materials. SFN retains ownership of its trademarks, logos, designs, and proprietary resources.
A confirmed territory grants exclusivity against SFN assigning another competing Service Finder-branded directory Hub within the specifically agreed city or ZIP-code boundaries while the member remains eligible. Exclusivity does not give ownership of a city, ZIP code, customers, or the broader market, and it does not prevent independently operated businesses that do not use SFN branding from competing.
SFN may apply reasonable trademark-quality and public brand-presentation standards, review publicly branded websites and representative promotional materials, request corrective action, and restrict trademark use for material violations. These measures protect the brand; they do not give SFN control over members’ independent business operations.
5. Independent Assets, Customers, and Responsibilities
Members own their independent business entities, domains, customer relationships, customer agreements, original content, independently developed assets, and business goodwill apart from SFN-owned brand goodwill and proprietary materials. Members are responsible for licensing, taxes, advertising claims, customer agreements, privacy and consumer protection obligations, and other laws applying to their own activities.
Members independently recruit, hire, engage, compensate, direct, and supervise their employees and contractors; SFN is not their employer or contracting party merely by virtue of Network membership.
6. Optional Education, Marketing Resources, and Fulfillment
SFN may provide general education, tools, technology setup instruction, reusable marketing materials, peer resources, and optional fulfillment connections. Members are free to choose whether and how to use them and may independently select other solutions or providers. Unless expressly agreed in a separate written contract, SFN does not undertake to generate leads, procure customers, supply revenue, manage member sales, or perform client work.
Any separate fulfillment engagement will be governed by the scope, pricing, and obligations agreed for that work.
7. Cancellation and Termination
Members may cancel their membership at any time using the cancellation instructions provided in their checkout confirmation, billing portal, or membership communications. Cancellation stops future recurring membership charges but does not refund payments already made. Because members receive immediate access to digital products, licensed resources, and membership benefits, all membership fees and subscription payments are nonrefundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law. Cancellation does not relieve members of charges already incurred before cancellation.
SFN may suspend or terminate membership for nonpayment, intellectual property misuse, or a material violation of these Terms, generally providing reasonable notice and an opportunity to correct where appropriate and legally permitted.
After membership ends, the member retains the independent business, owned domains, customers, contracts, independently created assets, and any surviving license to the delivered technology package. The member loses the Service Finder trademark license, territory reservation, community access, ongoing updates, discounts, and membership-only support. No new Service Finder-branded advertising or promotion may begin after termination. Existing Service Finder branding must be removed from websites and materials within 30 days after membership ends, unless immediate removal is required for serious misuse or by applicable law.
8. Sale or Transfer of the Member’s Business
Members may sell or transfer assets they independently own, subject to their own contractual obligations and applicable law. SFN trademark rights, exclusive territory privileges, membership, and the proprietary technology license are not automatically transferable with that sale. A purchaser wishing to participate in SFN must be approved by SFN and accept the then-applicable membership terms. These Terms do not give SFN a general right of first refusal on a member’s independently owned business.
9. Intellectual Property and Acceptable Use
SFN retains all rights in its branding, marks, proprietary snapshot, licensed templates, training resources, and other SFN-created intellectual property. Members may use licensed materials only as these Terms and any applicable order permit. Members must not misrepresent affiliation, redistribute proprietary resources as a standalone product, remove proprietary notices, infringe others’ rights, or use SFN branding in a misleading or unlawful manner.
10. No Guarantees; Liability
SFN makes no guarantee of leads, customers, sales, earnings, profits, territory value, or a particular return on investment. Testimonials or third-party software-user examples do not establish typical results. The member is responsible for independent business decisions and risks.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, SFN will not be liable for indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages arising from Network participation. SFN’s aggregate liability for claims relating to these Terms will not exceed membership and technology package fees actually paid to SFN during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, except where such limitation is prohibited by law or applies to a liability that cannot legally be limited.
11. Changes, Governing Law, and General Provisions
SFN may revise these Terms prospectively by providing notice appropriate to the change and applicable law. Material changes affecting ongoing paid membership will be communicated before taking effect as required by law. These Terms and the applicable order form the agreement regarding the offerings addressed here, subject to any separately executed written agreement. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, subject to mandatory law that may apply in a member’s jurisdiction. Any exclusive court venue or dispute-resolution procedure should be specified in finalized purchase documents before launch.
12. Electronic Acceptance and Contact
By affirmatively accepting these Terms through a checkout checkbox or other legally valid electronic acceptance process, a member agrees to the applicable terms and order disclosures. Merely viewing this website does not by itself constitute a purchase or membership acceptance.
Questions about these Terms can be submitted using the form at servicefindernetwork.com. Before paid enrollment begins, SFN should publish its full legal entity name, business contact information, precise cancellation process, refund policy, and any required jurisdiction-specific disclosures in the final agreement and purchase flow.
