Deal & Fee Agreement

Know A Guy is not a party to the deal. We provide the introductions platform, take the platform fee, and record the agreement. The work, money flow, contractual relationship, and any regulated obligations sit between Poster and Connector (and any third party they involve).

The Poster has set the intro fee on the need:

• Amount: as shown on the need (flat £, % of deal, or per lead).
• Trigger: the fee becomes due on the first payment from the introduced party to the Poster on the underlying deal, unless the two of you agree a different trigger on the deal thread and both accept the change.
• Currency: GBP. Exclusive of VAT unless agreed.

• Act in good faith and respond within a reasonable time.
• Honour the agreed fee on the agreed trigger.
• Keep the deal on the platform (use the in-app thread) until the trigger is met, so the deal can be tracked.
• Do not route the deal around Know A Guy to dodge the fee (see §6).
• Tell each other promptly when something changes the deal: scope, price, timeline, or whether it's going ahead.

The Connector confirms that the third party they introduce has agreed (or is comfortable) being introduced and contacted by the Poster, and that introducing them does not breach a confidentiality or non-solicit obligation.

Payment is settled directly between Poster and Connector outside the platform. Know A Guy does not hold funds. There is no escrow.

Both parties record on the deal thread when the fee is paid. The Know A Guy team confirms and updates the deal's payout status (pending / owed / paid) for the record.

Each party is responsible for their own tax, including VAT and income or corporation tax, on anything they receive.

For 12 months from the introduction, the Poster will not engage the introduced party through a side-channel, related entity, or third party set up to avoid the fee. If that happens the full intro fee and platform fee become due.

If the underlying deal is unwound, refunded, or materially reduced within 60 days of the fee being paid, the Connector will refund a proportional share on notice and with evidence.

Disputes about scope, performance, or money on the underlying deal are between Poster and Connector. We may pause the deal record and ask both sides for their version, but we don't adjudicate the underlying work.

This agreement sits alongside the Terms of Service. If there's a conflict, the Terms of Service govern the platform relationship and this agreement governs the deal between the two members.

This agreement is governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
