Referral Earnings Terms
Version 1. These terms apply when you enroll in QuoteAhead referral earnings.
Joining the program
QuoteAhead is operated by Taskmaster, LLC. Participation is free and available to individuals who are at least 18, reside in the United States, and have an active personal QuoteAhead account with a verified email address. You do not need a business, a project, or a paid subscription. Review and accept these terms in Referrals before a job is accepted to be eligible for that job. Enrollment does not itself earn money.
Eligible introductions
Invite a new user through your personal link or code. The introduction must be recorded at signup while the earnings program is active. Both you and the person you invite must have verified, active accounts when a job is accepted. A new business or organization may inherit its founding owner’s recorded introduction. Joining an existing business does not transfer your referral to it. Ownership changes or unclear attribution require review.
You cannot earn for referring yourself, duplicate accounts, or work in which you are a participating owner, contractor, acting submitter, or an owner or administrator of a participating business or organization. Attribution has no fixed expiration: the same introduction can earn on first and repeat qualifying jobs. Previously accepted jobs and introductions not recorded under the active earnings program do not receive retroactive rewards.
Qualifying work and reward amounts
A job must be accepted through QuoteAhead, completed, and generate an award fee that QuoteAhead actually collects and retains. Eligible marketplace jobs and platform-origin direct requests can qualify. Paying an invoice outside QuoteAhead does not by itself disqualify a job. Signups alone, unpaid fees, waived fees, and fully refunded fees earn nothing. Existing contractor fee schedules and direct-request fee waivers still apply.
Each qualifying job has one reward pool equal to 30% of the retained award fee, not the project price. If one side has an eligible referrer, that person receives the pool. If both sides have eligible referrers, each receives 15% of the fee. If the same person qualifies on both sides, the shares are combined. Amounts are calculated in US dollars to whole cents; rounding never increases the total pool beyond 30%. There is no extra fee for the person you invite.
Pending, available, and held earnings
Rewards are recorded as pending after acceptance and fee verification. Completion requires confirmation from the responsible customer or an audited QuoteAhead review; silence does not confirm completion. Rewards can become available after a 30-day holding period starting from the later of confirmed completion and availability of the collected fee funds, subject to payment and eligibility review.
Cancellations, refunds, payment disputes, duplicate or self-referrals, suspected abuse, and unresolved work or ownership evidence may delay, hold, reduce, or reverse rewards. Changes appear in your earnings history. If a reward is reversed after payment, the amount may be offset against later earnings. A pending or available balance is not confirmation that a bank payment has been sent.
Monthly payouts
Available balances of at least $50 are eligible for monthly payout review. The monthly cutoff is the start of the calendar month in UTC. Smaller balances carry forward. QuoteAhead currently reviews and processes payouts manually. Contact [email protected] for payout arrangements; there is no automatic bank connection in the app. Do not email bank credentials or identity documents.
Before payment, QuoteAhead must verify the recipient, payment destination, and any required tax information. Missing information, account restrictions, payment review, or a failed or returned payment can delay a payout; the recorded balance remains subject to these terms. A payout reservation is not a completed payment. Actual receipt depends on the payment method and financial institution. You are responsible for applicable taxes on your rewards.
Sharing and account notices
Share honestly and only where permitted. Clearly tell people near your link or recommendation that you may earn a referral reward. Do not send spam, misrepresent QuoteAhead, guarantee earnings, or create accounts or jobs to manufacture rewards. QuoteAhead may review or restrict participation for abuse.
Required work, earnings, and payout notices are part of the program and are separate from optional marketing preferences. Keep your account and email current. Your Referrals screen records your own earnings activity.
Questions and program changes
Contact [email protected] about attribution, held rewards, or payouts. QuoteAhead may pause new enrollment or new earnings. Such a pause does not erase recorded balances; refunds, disputes, and eligibility adjustments still apply. Material changes to accepted program terms require a new version and acceptance before applying the changed terms to new qualifying work.
These terms supplement the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. For referral reward eligibility and amounts, these program terms govern.
