BDR Services: Terms and Conditions UPDATED NOVEMBER 11, 2024
Client Cooperation The Client acknowledges that timely cooperation and provision of necessary information (including, but not limited to, lead lists, feedback, and material approvals) are essential for The BDRs to fulfill their obligations. The Service Provider shall not be responsible for any delays, missed appointments, or performance failures resulting from the Client's failure to meet their responsibilities. Requested deliverables are due within three (3) business days of the initial request to avoid any delays or disruptions to campaign launch and/or performance.
Monthly Service Fees The Client shall pay the first month’s and last month's service fees upon initiating service. For continued monthly service, the Client will be invoiced on the same day each month, beginning the same day of the following month of the campaign going “Live”. Payment is due on or before the due date listed on the invoice. A $50.00 late fee will BE APPLIED FOR ALL LATE PAYMENTS Five (5) or more days overdue. The late fee will be applied to the following MONTH'S invoice as an additional line item. Appointment Fees $65.00 for each 30 minute meeting/appointment scheduled by the Service Provider and attended by the prospect via a virtual meeting platform or by phone. Additional meetings/appointments that exceed the allotted 30 MINUTES will be billed at a rate of $10 per 15-minute INCREMENT and rounded up to the nearest quarter hour. Meetings/appointment fees will be included on the monthly invoice, alongside the Client’s monthly service fee, with each meeting/appointment being identified as an additional line item. Pause Limitations Clients may request to pause outreach on their account up to a maximum of two (2) times per calendar year. Each pause period is limited to a duration of no more than two (2) consecutive weeks. Notification Requirements Clients must notify The BDRs of their intent to pause outreach by email, providing a minimum of seven (7) days’ notice BEFORE the desired pause start date. This allows The BDRs sufficient time to prepare and coordinate any adjustments necessary to maintain client account integrity.Maintenance Fee During Pause A $260.00 maintenance fee will be applied to all accounts on pause. During this period, The BDRs may continue to conduct essential activities, such as following up on previously scheduled meetings or other communications, to help keep prospects engaged and maintain relations in the client’s pipeline.Extended Pauses and Account Cycling If an account remains on pause for longer than thirty (30) days, The BDRs reserves the right to initiate a cycle-out process for the account. This process may include scaling down or discontinuing active engagement with prospects as appropriate. Please note that no refunds will be issued for any accounts placed on pause. Clients are responsible for any fees incurred during the pause period, including the maintenance fee outlined above.Term & Termination This agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis. The Client must provide 30 days written notice to pause or terminate services. The prepaid fees for the last month of service will apply during that next month and is considered the 30-day cycle out period. Under no circumstances will refunds be issued. Upon providing such notice, all pending appointments/meetings (those already scheduled) are subject to the $65 appointment fee, and the Client assumes all responsibility for scheduled appointments and meeting management, including meeting confirmations, rescheduling, nurturing, etc. after the 30-day cycle out period. Meetings pending reschedule, defined as meetings scheduled but not attended by the client within the last 30 days, are also subject to the $65 fee. The Client assumes all responsibility for any rescheduling, appointment confirmations, follow-ups, and lead nurturing from that point. The Client will receive a final invoice for any outstanding fees and/or balances. If the Client terminates services without providing the required 30-day written notice, they agree to pay an early termination fee equal to one month's service fee. Clients are required to pay all invoices within the agreed-upon payment terms as outlined in the Terms & Termination section of The BDRs TOS. If a payment is not received by the due date, the following conditions will apply: Late Payment Grace Period: If any invoice remains unpaid for more than 14 days past the due date, The BDRs will temporarily halt all outreach activities associated with the client’s account. Outreach services will only resume once all outstanding balances have been paid in full. Account Closing: After the 14-day late payment period, The BDRs will begin cycling out the account, meaning that the client's account will gradually be closed and all efforts related to their campaigns will cease. Full Payment Due: All remaining fees and balances become due and payable in full within 14 days from the start of the late payment status (i.e., by the 28th day after the original invoice due date). Failure to pay within this timeframe may result in additional fees, and The BDRs reserve the right to pursue legal or collection actions as necessary to recover outstanding balances.
Service Provider’s Right to Terminate The Service Provider retains the right, at its sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever, to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the Client. Upon such termination, the Service Provider shall have no further obligation to perform any services under this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any costs, expenses, damages, or losses incurred by the Client as a result of such termination.
Performance and Metrics The Service Provider will conduct BDR activities in a professional manner aimed at scheduling qualified meetings and/or appointments.

The Service Provider shall not be liable for any claims, damages, or penalties arising from the Client's failure to maintain such records.

This includes, but is not limited to, unsolicited communications, violations of Do Not Call lists, unauthorized telemarketing, or failure to provide required disclosures or opt-out mechanisms.

Campaign Limits and Disclaimer The Service Provider does not guarantee a minimum number of calls, emails, or other outreach attempts beyond those explicitly stated in the campaign agreement.

Chargeback Protection Any attempts by the Client to dispute or chargeback payments after services have been rendered and accepted may result in additional legal action, and the Client agrees to cover all associated legal fees and costs.
