Please initial the following. These are the same terms as above but in simpler language.
I understand I can stop partnering with Great Expectations at any time and that I can continue to have my own business or work for other agencies. (However, letting Maria know that you no longer want to take contracts is a nice thing to do.)
I understand that all clients that sign a GE contract are GE clients. I will not ask them for a referral for my personal business or post their picture on my business or personal social media accounts.
I understand repeat clients are still considered agency clients and should receive a Great Expectations contract.
I understand privacy is important so I do not tag myself in real time at hospitals or other birth locations.
I understand that if Great Expectations offers a service - I will refer clients back to the agency.
I understand that I will receive a 1099 and that I am responsible for taxes on that income.
