Distributor membership terms

The commercial terms, before anyone pays.

This public pre-enrollment version explains the approved membership model. When enrollment opens, the complete checkout version will be shown for express acceptance before any payment is made.

Pre-enrollment version · Updated September 7, 2026

Free directory access is separate from paid membership

Promotional-products distributors may have an expressly unvetted Free Basic Listing with basic self-service support and claim it without paying. They may separately elect the Vetted Partner review track, whose application and vetting carry no fee. These terms cover only Vetted Partner memberships purchased on the website. Enrollment and payment are not yet active.

Who participates

Operator, applicant, and eligibility

iMerch Finder is operated by ConceptPlus.com Inc. A “member” is an independently owned or operated promotional-products distributor that separately chose and activated a paid membership. A directory Free Basic Listing and claimed status can exist without membership. Internal approval also remains distinct from the public tier.

Claiming a Free Basic Listing is free and is not vetting. A distributor electing the paid Vetted Partner path pays no separate application or vetting fee. Independent approval happens before any membership payment and is based on the published eligibility and vetting standards, not on payment. Payment cannot buy or guarantee approval. Approval may be withheld when the required evidence, references, disclosures, or conduct standard is not satisfied.

Approved pricing

Free listing and three membership choices

  • Free Basic Listing: $0, expressly not vetted, with basic self-service support and no Vetted Partner badge or priority.
  • Vetted Partner Monthly: $99 USD billed automatically each month until canceled under the checkout terms.
  • Founding Vetted Partner: $799 USD prepaid for the first 12 months, available only to eligible members in the limited founding cohort.
  • Vetted Partner Annual: $999 USD prepaid for 12 months, a $189 savings compared with 12 monthly payments.
  • Applicable taxes, if any, are added at checkout.
  • The Founding Partner and Standard Annual terms are one-time 12-month purchases. They do not renew automatically or convert automatically to another plan.
  • A paid term begins only after independent approval and profile readiness, when the distributor accepts the checkout terms and valid payment activates Vetted Partner membership.

“Founding Partner” is a membership designation, not a legal partnership, ownership interest, joint venture, territory, or promise of exclusivity.

Card security

Payment through a specialized provider

The planned checkout uses Authorize.Net with the existing JadaPay merchant account. Card details will be entered through a secure provider-hosted payment page or provider-hosted fields rather than being sent through ordinary iMerch Finder form fields.

iMerch Finder does not intend to store a card’s full account number or security code. The payment provider and merchant processor handle authorization, recurring-payment credentials, receipts, failed payment events, refunds, and related payment records under their own terms and privacy practices.

Payment activation is gated

Checkout will not open until the hosted payment flow, receipts, failure notices, cancellation controls, refunds, and transaction status updates have been tested end to end.

Plan controls

Renewal, cancellation, failed payment, and refunds

  • Monthly membership continues month to month until canceled. Cancellation stops future monthly charges and does not ordinarily reverse a charge for an already-started billing period.
  • Prepaid annual and Founding Partner terms end after 12 months unless the member separately accepts and pays for a new term.
  • Before a prepaid term ends, iMerch Finder may invite the member to choose and authorize a then-current plan. Silence is not renewal consent.
  • A failed, canceled, expired, or disputed membership payment removes the public Vetted Partner badge and priority while inactive; the directory entry may remain as a Free Basic Listing.
  • Any refund eligibility, including exceptional or legally required refunds, will be presented in the checkout version before purchase.
  • Cancellation does not eliminate obligations or charges that arose before the effective cancellation date.

Ongoing obligations

What every member is responsible for

  • Keep business, contact, availability, profile, credential, insurance, and material disclosure information accurate and current.
  • Respond professionally to accepted introductions and protect buyer information from unauthorized use or disclosure.
  • Make accurate claims and comply with applicable law, intellectual-property rights, product-safety requirements, and the member code of conduct.
  • Report material changes that could affect eligibility or the accuracy of the vetted profile.
  • Complete required re-attestation and re-verification when due.
  • Cooperate with fair complaint, correction, and review processes without retaliation against a buyer, reference, or reporter.

Marketplace expectations

Membership activates the public partner tier only after approval

A Free Basic Listing can appear in the open directory. Independent approval and profile readiness must occur before membership is offered. Active membership then activates the public Vetted Partner badge, Enhanced Vetted Partner Profile, higher-touch partner support, and priority above Free Basic Listings. It does not guarantee any number, quality, location, or value of leads; sales; revenue; organic ranking; territory; exclusivity; visibility; or return on investment.

Membership price, founding designation, and operator affiliation do not change relevance within a tier or guarantee approval. Featured visibility may appear only for a current Vetted Partner, in the Featured Vetted Partners group with the exact “Paid Advertisement” disclosure. Buyers select whom to contact, and any resulting proposal, order, payment, production, or service relationship is directly between the buyer and the independent distributor.

Protecting the network

Complaints, profile pauses, suspension, and termination

iMerch Finder may correct or pause inaccurate public content, restrict introductions, request information, suspend paid benefits, or terminate participation when evidence indicates material inaccuracy, loss of eligibility, unsafe or unlawful conduct, nonpayment of a paid upgrade, misuse of data, retaliation, failure to cooperate, or a serious or repeated breach of the applicable rules. Nonpayment affects paid benefits, not the underlying truth of a legitimate listing or a completed vetting decision.

Consequential decisions are documented and made by a human reviewer. Complaint findings require relevant evidence of misconduct or a material breach, notice, and a fair opportunity for both sides to respond. A third final substantiated separate incident ends directory participation, not merely paid benefits. Duplicate reports about one incident count once. Overturned findings do not count; resolving an order or refund does not automatically erase proven misconduct.

A finding may be appealed within 15 calendar days, with reasonable extensions, to an unconflicted reviewer other than the original decision-maker. A timely appeal prevents a final strike until resolved. Justified interim safety or fraud restrictions may remain. These rules apply equally to free, paid, and affiliated distributors and do not limit rights under applicable law. They do not decide a buyer’s damages or remove our separate membership obligations.

Before checkout

The complete version comes before acceptance

Before enrollment opens, iMerch Finder will publish or present the complete agreement with the verified legal notice address, checkout mechanics, refund terms, recurring-payment consent, effective date, governing-law and dispute provisions, and any provider-specific details. A prospective member must affirmatively accept that version before payment.
