Thrive Companies Agency Agreement
This agreement is between Thrive Companies ("Thrive", "we",
"us") and the person named on this form ("you"), and it covers writing under
the agency. It sits alongside the Lead Tech Marketing Agreement above; where
that one is about buying calls, this one is about the agency relationship.
1 · Your debt is yours
An advance is a loan against commission you have not earned yet. If the
policy charges back, lapses, or never pays, the advance comes back — and it
comes back from you.
(a) A negative balance is a debt. If chargebacks take your account below
zero, that balance is yours. We set it off against future commission first. If
you stop writing, move agencies or leave, whatever is left is payable on demand.
(b) Rolling it up does not clear it. When a carrier rolls an unpaid
balance up the hierarchy — to your upline, or to Thrive — the money moves but
the responsibility does not. You still owe it. Thrive, or whoever absorbed it,
may recover it from you directly and may set it off against any commission,
bonus, override or other payment owed to you, now or later.
(c) You will not roll debt up on purpose. That means not writing business
you expect to charge back, not writing on people who cannot or will not pay,
and not walking away from a negative balance for the upline to absorb. Doing
any of those is a breach of this agreement, and the balance becomes immediately
due in full.
(d) What it costs to collect. If we have to chase a balance, you also
cover the reasonable costs of collecting it, including legal fees.
2 · What belongs to Thrive
Everything the agency puts in your hands stays the agency's: scripts, rebuttals,
training, recorded calls, the dialer build and its routing, lead sources and what
they cost, carrier terms and commission levels, the software and its templates,
the artwork, and anything else Thrive made or paid to have made.
You may use it while you are with Thrive, and not after. You will not copy it,
keep it, publish it, sell it, or take it to another agency, IMO or FMO. Anything
you produce for Thrive in the course of the work belongs to Thrive.
3 · No recruiting from inside
While you are with Thrive, and for twelve (12) months after you leave, you
will not recruit or solicit any agent, producer or staff member of Thrive
Companies to another agency, IMO or FMO — and you will not help anyone else
do it.
What it costs. For each person you recruit or solicit in breach of this,
you will pay Thrive $5,000, plus the reasonable costs of enforcing it.
That figure is a genuine pre-estimate of what it costs the agency to replace and
retrain somebody — the recruiting, the licensing, the onboarding, the production
lost in between — and not a penalty. The actual loss is hard to measure, which is
exactly why a figure is agreed up front.
What this does not stop. A general advertisement that is not aimed at
Thrive's people, and somebody who comes to you entirely on their own without
any approach from you or anyone acting for you.
4 · Confidentiality
Agent lists and contact details, commission levels, carrier terms, lead costs,
client and applicant data — all confidential, while you are here and after you
leave. Client data also has its own rules under law, and nothing here reduces
them.
5 · General
Governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Sections 1 to 4
carry on after you leave. If a court finds any part of this unenforceable — the
twelve months, or the $5,000 — it may reduce it to what is enforceable rather
than striking it out, and the rest stands.
You have reached the end of the agreement.
