Effective Date: April 22, 2026
Operated by Radicle Labs, Inc. DBA Pluris
By submitting a case study or joining the Pluris Expert Network and checking the agreement box, you ("Expert" or "Partner") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before proceeding.
These Terms govern all projects and business engagements arising from introductions and project opportunities facilitated by Pluris.
Definitions
"Introduction Date" means the date on which Pluris first introduces you and a client, whether by email, platform communication, meeting, or other documented connection.
"Pluris-Sourced Project" means any project opportunity that: (i) arises from a brief, request, or opportunity submitted by a client through the Platform and shared by Pluris with you; or (ii) is identified, originated, or presented by Pluris to you and a client, including any follow-on, additional, or re-scoped work — in each case, regardless of whether you and the client had been previously introduced and regardless of when the original introduction occurred.
"Project Initiation" means the earliest occurrence of: (i) mutual execution of a Statement of Work (SOW) between you and the client; (ii) issuance of a Purchase Order (PO) by the client; (iii) execution of a written agreement between you and the client; or (iv) written confirmation from the client approving commencement of the project.
"Client" means any individual or entity, including its affiliates, subsidiaries, or representatives, that is introduced to you by Pluris or to which you are introduced by Pluris.
"Platform" means the Pluris website, applications, communications, and any other interactions or communications facilitated by Pluris in connection with these Terms.
"Related Services" means services that are substantially similar to, or a reasonable extension of, the services contemplated in a project introduced or sourced by Pluris.
Scope of Coverage
(a) Introduction-Based Coverage (12-Month Window). For any client introduced to you by Pluris, any project initiated between you and that client within twelve (12) months of the Introduction Date shall be deemed a project initiated through the Pluris platform and shall be subject to the applicable revenue share under these Terms, regardless of which party proposed, scoped, or negotiated the project.
(b) Pluris-Sourced Projects (No Time Limitation). Any Pluris-Sourced Project shall be subject to the applicable revenue share under these Terms, regardless of when such project is initiated — including projects initiated more than twelve (12) months after the Introduction Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, the absence of an initial project following an introduction does not limit the applicability of these Terms to future projects that qualify under Section 1(b).
You agree to pay Pluris a percentage of revenue derived from all projects covered under Section 1, as set out in the Revenue Share Schedule below.
"Projects" include any engagement, service, or business activity resulting from introductions or connections made by Pluris, including but not limited to: expert calls, advisory sessions, and workshops; leadership sessions and strategy meetings; short-term or long-term consulting engagements; multi-phase service agreements, pilots, or proof-of-concept projects; and product development, technical advisory, and implementation work.
For Expert Calls, Pluris will act as the Vendor of Record and bill the client directly. You will receive payment for your services through Pluris based on your stated market rate.
For all other engagements, you shall invoice the client separately. Revenue share is calculated on net revenue only — pass-through costs such as travel, software subscriptions, and third-party fees are excluded.
Revenue share payments are due to Pluris within 14 days of receiving payment from the client. For milestone-based projects, the share is due within 14 days of each installment received. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month on the unpaid balance.
You agree not to circumvent Pluris by engaging directly with any client introduced through the platform without Pluris's involvement, or to form separate agreements with such clients for related services during the term of these Terms and for 12 months thereafter without Pluris's written consent.
This applies to any engagement conducted directly or indirectly, including through affiliates, contractors, or intermediaries.
Remedies for breach: Pluris reserves the right to immediately remove you from the platform, recover the full applicable revenue share on any projects resulting from circumvention, and pursue additional legal remedies available under applicable law.
You shall maintain accurate records sufficient to verify compliance with these Terms. Within 15 days of Project Initiation, you shall notify Pluris in writing of any project involving an introduced client or any Pluris-Sourced Project.
Pluris may request documentation once per calendar year to verify compliance. If a review reveals an underpayment exceeding 5% of amounts owed, you shall reimburse Pluris for its reasonable verification costs.
Both parties agree to keep all business information, introductions, and project details shared under these Terms confidential, except as required by law or with mutual written consent. Confidential information includes the identities of clients introduced through Pluris, the terms of any agreements facilitated by Pluris, and any proprietary business processes or materials shared during the relationship.
Either party may terminate this agreement with 30 days' written notice. Upon termination, Pluris will deactivate your profile and cease making introductions. Pluris retains the right to receive applicable revenue shares on any projects initiated prior to termination, including any Pluris-Sourced Project presented to you in writing prior to or after termination.
Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
These Terms shall be interpreted to give effect to Pluris's role in introducing relationships and sourcing projects, and shall not be narrowly construed to avoid the applicable revenue share based on timing, form of engagement, or sequencing of events.
Neither party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond their reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, or government orders.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages. Except for willful misconduct, fraud, breach of Section 4 (Non-Contravention), or payment obligations owed to Pluris, each party's aggregate liability shall not exceed the total revenue share paid or payable to Pluris in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, or agency relationship between the parties.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements or understandings. These Terms may be amended only by a written document signed by both parties.
The applicable revenue share payable to Pluris is ten percent (10%) of all revenue derived from projects covered under these Terms. This applies uniformly to all projects regardless of value, duration, or structure, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
