Please read these Terms (“Terms”) carefully.
By joining or participating in Agero Plus, a loyalty program for Service Providers within the Agero Network (the “Program”), accessing the Agero Plus dashboard (the “Dashboard”), or otherwise accepting these terms within the Agero platform, you are accepting these Terms, which will result in a legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and Agero Administrative Service Corp.

Agero may revise and update these Terms from time to time in its sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when posted. Your continued use of the Program and Dashboard following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You should check this page on an ongoing basis to ensure that you are aware of any changes.

Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting.

- (a) Being an active participant in the Agero network of roadside and towing companies, having entered into and been in compliance with the Services Agreement,

4. Financial Awards for Consistent Services. Program Participants may earn bonuses for meeting and/or exceeding their weekly dispatch success targets, as identified by Agero in its Dashboard, over a specific timeframe (the “Timeframe”). To earn the bonus, you must follow the applicable requirements set forth on the Dashboard during the relevant Timeframe – meeting the requirements for a consecutive week where job offers from Agero are accepted digitally and successfully completed above the specified threshold dispatch success rate. Note that each successful week will be applied to a single Timeframe and dispatch success Targets are subject to change each week. Participants will be given an opportunity to earn a bonus each week (as long as program requirements are satisfied). For example, if a bonus is conditioned on satisfying a threshold level of successful dispatches at 85% over a Timeframe of one consecutive week during the month of September, a Program Participant would be able to receive up to one (1) bonus during this month if the participant met the 85% successful dispatch rate for the week. Unique dispatch success targets are provided each week.
5. Access to the Program, Dispatch Success Targets and Tier Benefits. Agero will provide you with access to the Program and to your unique dispatch success Targets and cash reward benefits based on the criteria that Agero establishes (which may be modified from time to time). In the event your eligibility access changes due to no longer meeting the Program criteria, you may be restricted from accessing certain benefits including financial bonuses and access to the Agero Plus portal. You agree to not share with other parties the passwords or details of these benefits that are limited to Program Participants.
6. Payment; Setoff Rights. Payment of bonuses will be made as a separate payment in connection with your Services Agreement and shall be subject to the terms set forth therein for other payments received from Agero, including the right to setoff other amounts that may be due from you against any financial awards made hereunder. Without limitation, if Agero has a reasonable basis to believe that any bonus was earned by you in a fraudulent or other wrongful manner, you will promptly pay back to Agero any bonus (or applicable portion thereof, at Agero’s discretion) previously disbursed to you, and you may lose any earned and unpaid bonuses and permanently lose eligibility to participate in the Program.
