Recitals

A. Company operates an appliance repair business under the trade name "Jax Appliance Pros" in Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties, Florida (the "Territory"). Company answers customer calls, books jobs, sets the prices it charges its own customers, and collects customer payment.

B. Contractor independently operates a business that provides appliance repair services to the public, and wishes to accept individual repair jobs that Company offers from time to time.

C. The Parties intend an independent contractor relationship, not an employment relationship, as described in Section 1.

The Parties agree as follows.

1. Independent Contractor Relationship

1.1 Independent business. Contractor is an independent business, not an employee, agent, joint venturer, partner or franchisee of Company. Contractor controls the manner, means, methods, tools, sequence and hours of its own work. Company's interest is only in the result that each accepted Work Order (Section 2) calls for.

1.2 Freedom to decline and to work for others. Contractor may accept or decline any Job Offer, for any reason, without penalty and without any effect on future Job Offers. Contractor owes no minimum availability, shift, schedule or volume. Contractor may provide appliance repair or any other services to anyone else, including Company's competitors and Contractor's own customers, while this Agreement is in effect.

1.3 No supervision. Company does not set Contractor's route, require a uniform, a branded vehicle or particular tools, provide training, conduct performance reviews, or supervise Contractor's work. Any Company-branded shirt, badge or signage is optional and used only if Contractor chooses.

1.4 No benefits; no withholding. Contractor receives no employee benefits of any kind from Company, including health insurance, a retirement plan, paid time off, or coverage under any Company workers' compensation or unemployment insurance. Company does not withhold income tax, Social Security or Medicare from payments, except backup withholding that federal law requires (Section 14.3). Contractor is solely responsible for all taxes on its income, including self-employment tax.

1.5 No authority to bind. Contractor has no authority to make representations, sign contracts, incur debts or otherwise act for Company, except as Company authorizes in writing for a specific Work Order.

1.6 Contractor's business representations. Contractor represents that each of the following is true, and will stay true while this Agreement is in effect:

• (a) Contractor maintains a separate business with its own work facility (which may be in its home), vehicle, equipment and materials;
• (b) Contractor holds or has applied for a federal employer identification number, unless Contractor is a sole proprietor who is not required to obtain one;
• (c) Contractor is paid for its services as a business, not as an individual (Section 4.4);
• (d) Contractor keeps one or more bank accounts in the name of its business for paying its business expenses;
• (e) Contractor performs, or is able to perform, work for others at its own election, without completing an employment application; and
• (f) Contractor is paid per completed task under this Agreement, not by the hour.

Contractor will tell Company in writing if any of these stops being true. These are the factors Florida uses to recognize an independent contractor outside the construction industry (s. 440.02(18)(d)1., Florida Statutes).

1.7 Contractor's own workers. Contractor may use its own employees or helpers on Company Work Orders, at its own expense and under its sole direction, after Company consents in writing (email is enough), which Company will not unreasonably withhold. Before any of them enters a customer's home, Contractor gives Company proof that they are covered by Contractor's workers' compensation insurance as Section 7.3 requires, and makes sure they have passed a background check under Section 8 and, for sealed-system work, hold the EPA certification Section 6.1 requires. Contractor is solely responsible for their pay, taxes, insurance and conduct. Contractor may not hand an accepted Work Order to another business without Company's written consent.

1.8 No fees. Contractor pays Company no fee, deposit or charge of any kind to receive Job Offers, and is never required to buy goods or services from Company.

2. Work Orders

2.1 Job Offers. From time to time Company may offer Contractor a specific job by phone, text, email or Company's job-offer system, describing the customer, the service address, the appliance, the reported problem and the appointment window (a "Job Offer").

2.2 Scope preferences. Contractor may tell Company which counties within the Territory and which appliance types it wants Job Offers for, and may change them at any time. Company directs Job Offers accordingly. This does not limit Contractor's right to decline any individual Job Offer.

2.3 Acceptance creates a Work Order. Accepting a Job Offer creates a "Work Order" for that job only. A Work Order creates no obligation to accept future Job Offers, and Company promises no ongoing schedule or volume.

2.4 Result standard. A Work Order is complete when: (a) the appliance is repaired, or it is diagnosed and the customer has received a written estimate at Company's prices and declined the repair; (b) the price Company quoted the customer, including any estimate the customer approved, is honored; and (c) the work area is left clean and the customer's property in good order. How Contractor achieves that result is Contractor's own judgment.

2.5 Customer approval before repair. Contractor gives the customer Company's written estimate and gets the customer's approval before starting any repair beyond the diagnosis, and does no work the customer has not approved.

2.6 Out-of-scope work. If a job turns out to need work outside Contractor's license, certification or the scope of Section 6, Contractor stops, tells the customer and Company, and refers that part of the work back to Company.

2.7 Unable to keep an appointment. If Contractor cannot keep an accepted appointment, it tells Company as soon as it knows, so Company can reschedule or reassign the job. The only consequence is that the Work Order is reassigned.

2.8 Job records. By the end of the day of each visit, Contractor reports to Company, through Company's job record, the diagnosis, the work performed, the parts used and what the customer approved, so Company can bill the customer, pay Contractor and honor its warranty. Photos of the appliance's model and serial tag and of the completed repair are included when practical.

3. Customer Pricing and Payment

3.1 Company sets customer prices. Company alone sets and publishes the prices, fees and warranty terms it offers its customers. They are Company's offer to its customers, not terms between Company and Contractor.

3.2 Company collects payment. Company collects payment from its customers. Contractor must not take payment from a Company customer for a Company Work Order in any form, and directs any customer who tries to pay to Company.

3.3 Customer non-payment. Company bears the risk that a customer does not pay, except where the non-payment, refund or credit results from Contractor's breach of this Agreement or from defective workmanship that Contractor did not correct under Section 4.5.

4. Compensation

4.1 Per-job pay. Company pays Contractor a share of the labor Company charges the customer on each completed Work Order, as set out in Schedule A. Contractor is not paid by the hour and is guaranteed no minimum pay.

4.2 Diagnostic-only visits. The Schedule A share also applies to the diagnostic fee charged on a visit where the customer does not approve a repair.

4.3 Parts. Parts are not part of the compensation split. Parts are purchased and reimbursed as set out in Schedule A.

4.4 Paid to Contractor's business. Company pays Contractor's business, into an account in the business's name, against Contractor's invoice or a Company statement as set out in Schedule A.

4.5 Warranty callbacks. If a customer reports, within Company's published warranty period for the job (90 days from the service date as of the Effective Date; a later change applies only to jobs completed after it is published), a defect in Contractor's workmanship, Contractor returns and corrects it at no additional pay, within 3 business days of Company's request or a later time the customer agrees to. If Contractor does not, Company may have the defect corrected by someone else. A new, unrelated failure, or a failure of a part that was not caused by Contractor's workmanship, is a new Work Order and is paid normally.

4.6 Set-off. Company may set off against amounts it owes Contractor only these documented amounts Contractor owes under this Agreement: (a) the reasonable labor cost of correcting a workmanship defect that Contractor did not correct under Section 4.5, up to the amount Contractor was paid for the original Work Order; (b) any customer payment Contractor received in breach of Section 3.2; (c) a refund or credit Company gives a customer because of Contractor's breach or uncorrected defective workmanship; and (d) the cost of parts reimbursed under Schedule A that were not used and not returned. Company first gives Contractor written notice itemizing the amount, with supporting records, at least 5 days before the set-off. If Contractor disputes the amount in writing within that time, the disputed amount is held, not deducted, until the Parties resolve it under Section 16.6 or a court decides it.

4.7 No other reimbursement. Except for parts under Schedule A, Company does not reimburse Contractor's expenses.

5. Tools, Vehicle and Expenses

Contractor supplies, owns and maintains at its own expense its tools and diagnostic equipment, its vehicle with fuel, maintenance and insurance, its phone and phone service, its consumable supplies, and any license, certification, registration or tax receipt its business needs.

6. Qualifications, Licensing and Safety

6.1 EPA refrigerant certification. Before any sealed-system or refrigerant work, Contractor (and anyone doing that work for Contractor) holds the EPA Section 608 certification for the equipment: Type I or Universal for small appliances such as refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners; Type II or Universal for split systems and larger equipment. Contractor gives Company a copy. Contractor recovers refrigerant as federal rules require and never knowingly vents it. Contractor keeps a copy of its certificate, uses certified recovery equipment, and before opening a sealed system recovers refrigerant to the levels 40 CFR 82.156(b) requires. When an appliance is replaced or hauled away, Contractor recovers the refrigerant as 40 CFR 82.155 requires and gives Company the signed recovery statement. Contractor sells recovered refrigerant only to a certified reclaimer and handles used refrigerant cylinders as 40 CFR 84.116 requires.

6.2 Licensed-trade work is out of scope. Contractor never performs work that requires a Florida license Contractor does not hold, including new or altered gas piping, any servicing, repair, connection or disconnection of gas appliances or gas piping that requires a license from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services under chapter 527, Florida Statutes (which can apply to natural gas as well as LP gas appliances), new or altered electrical circuits or wiring, plumbing work, or any other work that requires a contractor license under chapter 489, Florida Statutes. If Contractor holds such a license, it may do that work on a Company Work Order only after giving Company a copy and getting Company's written consent. Any such work found on a job is referred back to Company under Section 2.6.

6.3 Gas-connector and hardwired 240V hookups. Routine gas-appliance connector hookups (connecting an existing gas supply to an appliance with a connector, not new gas piping) and hardwired 240V appliance hookups (for example, a built-in wall oven wired directly rather than plugged in) are excluded from Contractor's scope under this Agreement and are referred to Company under Section 2.6. They may be added only by a written amendment signed by both Parties that states the scope and any license required.

6.4 Business registrations. Contractor is not Company's employee for local business tax purposes (s. 205.066, Florida Statutes). Contractor obtains and keeps current every local business tax receipt required for its business location under chapter 205, Florida Statutes, and any others required for the places it works, and any other registration its business requires, and gives Company copies before its first Work Order and after each renewal (receipts renew each October 1).

6.5 Hazards. If Contractor finds a gas leak, an electrical hazard, a water leak it cannot stop, or another immediate danger, it stops work, makes the situation safe only if it can do so safely, and tells the customer and Company right away. Contractor is responsible for the safety of its own work, its workers and the customer's property while performing a Work Order.

7. Insurance

7.1 Commercial general liability. Contractor maintains commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, including products-completed operations coverage (which covers damage that shows up after a repair is finished), and names Company as an additional insured where the insurer allows it.

7.2 Auto liability. Contractor maintains automobile liability insurance of at least $100,000 bodily injury per person / $300,000 bodily injury per accident / $50,000 property damage, or a $300,000 combined single limit, covering business use of the vehicle it drives to Work Orders. Florida's minimum required auto coverage does not meet this, and a personal auto policy often excludes business use, so Contractor confirms business-use coverage with its insurer.

7.3 Workers' compensation. If Contractor has any employees, Contractor maintains Florida workers' compensation coverage for them as chapter 440, Florida Statutes, requires, and gives Company its certificate and a copy of the State of Florida proof-of-coverage record before any of them works on a Company Work Order. An LLC member or corporate officer who has elected an exemption gives Company a copy of the exemption certificate. A sole proprietor with no employees confirms that in writing. Nothing in this Agreement makes Company responsible for workers' compensation coverage for Contractor or its workers, and Company keeps its right under s. 440.10(1)(d), Florida Statutes, to recover from Contractor any benefits Company is required to pay for them.

7.4 Certificates. Contractor gives Company certificates of insurance showing the coverage above before its first Work Order and each time a policy renews.

7.5 Lapse. Contractor tells Company in writing within 3 business days if any required policy is cancelled, lapses or materially changes. Company sends no Job Offers until a current certificate is provided (Section 13.4).

7.6 No limit on liability. These insurance requirements do not limit Contractor's obligations under this Agreement.

8. Background Check

Contractor's eligibility for Job Offers depends on a background check through Company's third-party consumer reporting agency, at Company's cost, for Contractor and for each person who will enter customers' homes for Contractor. Each check is run only after that person signs the agency's own disclosure and authorization form. This Agreement is not, and does not replace, that disclosure and authorization. Company may ask for an updated check no more than once every 12 months, on the same terms. Company does not require a drug test.

9. Confidentiality, Customer Data and Non-Solicitation

9.1 Confidentiality. Contractor keeps confidential, and uses only to perform an accepted Work Order, the customer information Company provides (names, addresses, contact details, appliance and service history, payment status) and Company's non-public pricing, scheduling and business information. This continues after this Agreement ends.

9.2 Customer data security. Contractor uses customer information only for the Work Orders it accepts and never keeps it in a personal customer list, sells it or shares it. Contractor keeps any device holding customer information locked with a passcode and its accounts protected with two-factor sign-in where available. Contractor never takes a customer's card number and never photographs identification documents; all payments go through Company. Contractor tells Company within 48 hours after it learns of any loss, theft or unauthorized access involving customer information, and cooperates with any notice Company must give. Within 10 days after this Agreement ends, Contractor deletes or returns all customer information it holds, except what the law requires it to keep.

9.3 Customer non-solicitation. While this Agreement is in effect and for 6 months after it ends for any reason, Contractor will not, directly or through anyone else, solicit any Company Customer to buy appliance repair or installation services from anyone other than Company, or divert a Company Customer's appliance work away from Company. "Company Customer" means a customer Contractor served, quoted or learned of through a Company Work Order during the last 12 months of this Agreement. This Section does not restrict Contractor from serving its own pre-existing customers, customers it gets through its own separate business, or customers who contact Contractor on their own without any solicitation by Contractor.

9.4 Legitimate business interests; remedies. Contractor acknowledges that Company has legitimate business interests under s. 542.335(1)(b), Florida Statutes, in its substantial relationships with the specific customers it advertises for, books and introduces to Contractor, in the goodwill of the trade name "Jax Appliance Pros" in the Territory, and in its confidential customer and pricing information, and that Sections 9.1 to 9.3 are reasonably necessary to protect them. If Contractor breaches Section 9.3, Company may seek an injunction in addition to any other remedy, and the 6-month period is extended by the time the breach continued. Company's successors and assignees, including an entity that continues the business under Section 16.8, may enforce Sections 9.1 to 9.4.

9.5 No non-compete. This Agreement contains no general non-compete. Contractor is free to compete with Company, to work in the appliance repair trade, and to serve any customer it did not first meet through a Company Work Order.

10. Workmanship, Conduct and Incidents

10.1 Workmanship. Contractor performs repairs in a professional, workmanlike manner that meets the manufacturer's specifications and applicable law.

10.2 Conduct. In a customer's home Contractor respects the customer's property and privacy, arrives within the accepted appointment window, and communicates honestly about the diagnosis, the work and the price.

10.3 Incidents. Contractor tells Company within 24 hours of any injury, property damage, claimed damage, police involvement or customer complaint connected with a Work Order; preserves related photos and records; cooperates with Company and the insurers; and does not admit liability or promise compensation on Company's behalf.

11. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

11.1 Mutual indemnification. Each Party indemnifies and holds harmless the other from third-party claims, damages and reasonable costs (including attorney's fees) to the extent they arise from the indemnifying Party's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, in proportion to that Party's share of fault. Neither Party indemnifies the other for the other's own negligence. To the extent s. 725.06, Florida Statutes, applies to any Work Order, each Party's indemnity is limited to $1,000,000 per occurrence, which the Parties agree bears a reasonable commercial relationship to this Agreement.

11.2 Contractor's workers and taxes. Contractor also indemnifies and holds harmless Company from any claim by Contractor's own employees or helpers (including for wages, benefits or workers' compensation), and from any tax, interest or penalty assessed on Contractor's income.

11.3 Limitation of liability. Neither Party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from this Agreement, except under Sections 11.1 and 11.2 or for a breach of Section 9.

12. Compliance with Laws

Each Party complies with the federal, state and local laws that apply to its part of this Agreement.

13. Term, Suspension and Termination

13.1 Term. This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until ended under this Section.

13.2 Termination for convenience. Either Party may end this Agreement for any reason on 7 days' written notice (email is enough).

13.3 Termination for breach. Either Party may end this Agreement on written notice if the other materially breaches it and does not cure the breach within 5 business days after written notice describing it. No cure period applies to a breach of Section 3.2 (customer payment), Section 9 (confidentiality, data and non-solicitation) or Section 6.2 (licensed trades), to conduct endangering anyone's safety, to dishonesty, or to a repeat of a breach already cured once; any of these allows termination immediately on written notice.

13.4 Pause for lapsed requirements. While any insurance, certification or registration this Agreement requires is lapsed or unproven, Company may stop sending Job Offers, without that being a termination.

13.5 Work in progress. A Work Order accepted before termination is either completed by Contractor and paid under Schedule A, or handed back to Company to reassign, as the Parties agree at the time. If they do not agree within 2 business days after the notice, Company may reassign it and pays Contractor for the documented work actually completed.

13.6 Final payment. Company pays amounts owed for completed Work Orders on the next regular payday after this Agreement ends, subject to Section 4.6.

13.7 Survival. Sections 3.2, 4.5 (for Work Orders completed before termination, through their warranty period), 4.6, 9, 10.3, 11, 14 and 16 survive termination.

14. Tax Reporting

14.1 Form W-9. Contractor provides a completed IRS Form W-9, through Company's payout provider or another secure method Company designates, before Company's first payment. Contractor never sends its taxpayer identification number by plain email or text.

14.2 Form 1099-NEC. Company issues Contractor a Form 1099-NEC for each calendar year in which Company pays Contractor at least the federal reporting threshold: $2,000 for payments made in 2026, as adjusted for inflation in later years.

14.3 Backup withholding. If Contractor has not provided a valid taxpayer identification number, or the IRS notifies Company that the number is incorrect, Company withholds federal backup withholding (currently 24%) from payments as federal law requires and pays it to the IRS for Contractor's account.

14.4 Contractor's own reporting. Contractor reports all income it receives under this Agreement, whether or not Company must issue a Form 1099-NEC for the year.

15. Electronic Signatures, Records and Communications

15.1 Electronic transaction. The Parties agree to conduct this transaction electronically under the Florida Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (s. 668.50, Florida Statutes) and the federal E-SIGN Act. Each Party's typed name, entered with its consent to sign electronically, is its signature, and this Agreement may be signed and kept as an electronic record. Company emails each Party a PDF of the signed Agreement, which that Party may print and keep, and gives either Party a paper copy on request.

15.2 Communications. Contractor agrees to receive Job Offers and other business communications from Company by phone call, text message and email at the numbers and addresses in the Parties block. Message and data rates may apply. Contractor may stop text messages at any time by replying STOP, after which Company sends Job Offers by phone or email.

15.3 Notices. Notices under this Agreement are given in writing by email to the addresses in the Parties block (or to an updated address a Party gives in writing) and are effective when sent, unless the sender receives a delivery failure.

16. General Provisions

16.1 Entire agreement. This Agreement, with Schedules A and B, is the Parties' entire agreement on its subject and replaces any earlier discussions or agreements on it.

16.2 Amendments; no waiver. This Agreement may be changed only by a written amendment signed by both Parties, including electronically. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.

16.3 Governing law; venue. Florida law governs this Agreement, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any lawsuit arising from it is brought in the state or federal courts for Duval County, Florida, including small claims court where the amount qualifies, and each Party consents to that venue.

16.4 Jury trial waiver. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Each Party has read this waiver, had the chance to ask about it and to consult an attorney, and agrees to it as a material part of this Agreement.

16.5 Attorney's fees. In any lawsuit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including one to enforce Section 9, the prevailing Party recovers its reasonable attorney's fees and costs from the other Party, including on appeal.

16.6 Good-faith negotiation first. Before filing suit (other than to seek an injunction under Section 9), the Parties try in good faith to resolve the dispute by direct negotiation for 10 business days.

16.7 Severability. If a court finds any provision unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement remains in effect, and the provision is enforced to the greatest extent the law allows.

16.8 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the other's written consent, except that Company may assign it to a successor entity (for example, an LLC formed to continue the same business) that assumes Company's obligations under it.

16.9 Force majeure. Neither Party is liable for a delay or failure to perform, other than paying for work already performed, caused by a hurricane, tropical storm or other named storm, flooding or storm surge, a declared state of emergency, an evacuation order or curfew, a widespread power, fuel or telecommunications outage, a road closure, or another cause beyond its reasonable control. The affected Party tells the other promptly and resumes as soon as it is safe. Contractor is never required to work in unsafe conditions, and an accepted Work Order affected by such an event may be rescheduled or reassigned without penalty. Any financial aid, safety supplies or safety information Company chooses to offer Contractor during a declared state of emergency is offered under s. 448.111, Florida Statutes, and does not change Contractor's status as an independent contractor.

16.10 Independent review. Each Party has read this Agreement and had the opportunity to have an attorney of its choice review it. It is not to be construed against either Party as its drafter.

16.11 Counterparts; headings. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which is an original. Headings are for convenience only.

Schedule A — Compensation

1. Rate. Contractor is paid 45% of the labor amount charged to the customer on each completed Work Order, including the diagnostic fee on a diagnostic-only visit where no repair is performed or approved. A different split for a particular Work Order or going forward applies only if both Parties agree in writing.
2. Parts excluded. The price of parts billed to the customer is not part of the 45% split and is not part of Contractor's pay.
3. Pay week and payday. The pay week runs from Monday to Sunday. Contractor is paid weekly, on the Friday following the close of each pay week (or the next business day if that Friday is a bank holiday), for all Work Orders completed and reported under Section 2.8 during that pay week.
4. Invoice or statement. Payment is made against either (a) Contractor's own invoice for the pay week, or (b) a statement Company prepares listing that week's completed Work Orders and the amount owed. A statement is deemed approved unless Contractor gives Company written notice of a specific disputed Work Order and the reason within 3 business days after receiving it. Company pays all undisputed amounts on the regular payday, and the Parties resolve a disputed item within 5 business days using the Work Order records.
5. Payment method. Company pays by direct deposit or another electronic method it designates, to an account in the name of Contractor's business (Section 4.4).
6. Parts purchasing and reimbursement. Contractor buys the parts a Work Order needs only as Company's purchasing agent and in Company's name: on Company's supplier accounts where Company has one, or using Company's Florida Annual Resale Certificate as Company directs, so the purchase is tax-exempt for resale. Title to each part passes from the supplier to Company, and Company resells it to the customer. Contractor never uses Company's certificate or accounts for any other purpose. Where Company pays the supplier directly, Contractor pays nothing. Otherwise, Contractor submits an itemized receipt in Company's name with its invoice or statement for that pay week, and Company reimburses the actual cost, with no markup, in the same weekly payment, in addition to the 45% labor split. Sales tax paid on a part is reimbursed only if Company approved that taxed purchase in advance and the receipt is in Company's name. Contractor marks any visit where it supplied no parts "labor only, no parts furnished." Company alone bills and collects sales tax from customers. An unused part is returned to Company, or its reimbursement may be set off under Section 4.6.
7. Warranty callbacks. Correcting Contractor's own workmanship defect under Section 4.5 is not paid additional labor. A new, unrelated failure, or a part failure not caused by Contractor's workmanship, is a new Work Order and is paid normally.
8. No guaranteed volume. Jax Appliance Pros is a new business and job volume is still building. Company does not promise any number of Job Offers, any minimum weekly earnings or any particular income.
