Greenhouse Partner Agreement
Effective date: July 9, 2026
This Greenhouse Partner Agreement ("Agreement") governs the partnership between GardenReady LLC doing business as GardenReady ("Company") and any greenhouse or garden center ("Partner") that is approved to participate in the GardenReady platform.
By submitting a partner application and being granted access to the partner portal, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.
1. The Partnership
The Company provides Partner with a customer design tool and a professional installation service. Partner's customers design landscape projects using Partner's plants and inventory and purchase those plants directly from Partner. When a customer chooses installation, the Company handles the installation: a vetted, insured installer picks up the plants from Partner's location, delivers, plants, and cleans up.
Partner sells the plants and keeps 100% of the plant sale. The Company never sells plants and does not collect payment for plants. This is a non-exclusive arrangement. Partner may continue to work with other providers, and the Company may work with other greenhouse partners in the same market.
2. Founding Partner Access
Founding greenhouse partners participate free of charge. The Company charges no per-job fee and takes no percentage of Partner's plant sales. The Company may introduce optional paid features or partner-reward programs in the future; any such program, including its terms and any commission it carries, will be described to Partner in writing before it applies, and participation will be optional. The Company does not share installer cost, margin, or internal pricing with Partner.
3. Submitting Jobs
Partner may also submit installation jobs directly through the partner portal. For each submission, Partner agrees to provide accurate and complete information, including:
- Customer name, contact information, and installation address;
- A description or list of plants, materials, and scope of work;
- Any relevant timing preferences;
- Photos or other supporting materials as available.
Submitting a job is not a guarantee that the Company will accept it. The Company reserves the right to decline any submission, including jobs outside the current service area or outside available installer capacity.
4. Customer Relationship
Partner makes the plant sale and obtains the customer's consent to share their contact and project information with the Company for installation. Once a customer chooses installation, the Company communicates directly with the customer to confirm scope, scheduling, and the installation price.
The Company handles all installation pricing, payment collection for the installation, and any post-installation workmanship issues. Partner does not set installation pricing and is not responsible for installation outcomes.
5. Installers
All installation work is performed by installers who are vetted by the Company and who carry current general liability insurance. The Company does not offer a do-it-yourself option and does not refer customers to uninsured or unvetted labor.
6. Tax Obligations
Partner is responsible for reporting and paying all taxes on any amounts received from the Company. The Company will issue a Form 1099-NEC to Partners who receive $600 or more in a calendar year, as required by law. A completed W-9 is required before any payments are issued.
7. Branding and Representations
Partner may inform customers that installation services are handled by GardenReady. Partner may not make any guarantees or representations about the Company's services, pricing, or timelines beyond what is published on the Company's website or communicated directly by the Company.
8. Confidentiality
Partner agrees to keep confidential any non-public information about the Company's pricing, installer network, processes, or platform, and to use such information only for the purpose of participating under this Agreement.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party. The Company may immediately suspend or terminate Partner's portal access for submitting fraudulent or inaccurate job information, violating this Agreement, or conduct that damages the Company's relationships or reputation.
Any amounts earned under an optional program prior to termination will be paid on the normal payout schedule.
10. Limitation of Liability
The Company's liability to Partner for any claim shall not exceed the total amounts paid between the parties in the 12 months preceding the claim. The Company is not liable for lost sales, lost customers, or any indirect or consequential damages.
11. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Summit County, Ohio.
