Last Updated: 03-31-2026

1. Program Overview. The G&A Partners Referral Rewards Program (“Program”) allows eligible individuals and entities to earn rewards for referring prospective clients to G&A Partners and its affiliates (“G&A”) in accordance with these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). Anyone submitting a referral via designated links (collectively the “Referral Form”) that meets the Eligibility Requirements is a “Participant.” A successful referral that results in a new client is a “Qualified Referral”. By submitting a Referral Form, Participant agrees to be bound by these Terms and G&A’s Privacy Policy, as may be amended from time to time. G&A’s decisions are final and binding. These Terms operate separately from any other relationship with G&A. Participation in the Program constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
2. Eligibility Requirements. Unless otherwise stated, the Program is open to individuals and entities legally permitted to receive referral compensation under applicable law. G&A reserves the right to determine eligibility in its sole discretion.

      2. is not a former G&A client
      3. cannot be spin-off companies or new entities acquired directly from an Active Client
      4. cannot share common ownership with an Active Client. This includes direct ownership, where the prospect owns a portion of an Active Client, or situations where the prospect holds a significant interest in both the prospect and the Active Client. The prospect will be disqualified if the prospect becomes commonly owned or shares common ownership with an Active Client at the time the services agreement is signed

G&A reserves the right to decide with whom it will do business and under what terms, including, without limitation, whether to accept a referral as a Qualified Prospect and/or Qualified Referral and the terms under which it conducts business. All questions or disputes regarding eligibility for the Program, eligibility for any of the Rewards, or the interpretation of these Terms will be resolved by G&A at its sole discretion. G&A reserves the right to void any Rewards if it suspects they were earned fraudulently, if they violate any law regulations or these Terms, or if they were obtained in a manner not intended by G&A. G&A is not responsible for lost, misdirected, miscommunicated, miscalculated, destroyed or delayed referrals or Rewards, and will not be liable for any damages resulting from such issues.

For Participants who are not G&A corporate employees, upon G&A’s determination that Participant should receive a Reward, G&A may contact Participant to request a completed Form W-9 and any other required documents. If Participant does not respond to G&A’s request to complete a Form W-9 or the requested document, or indicate a Reward payment preference within 180 days, to the extent permitted by law, G&A reserves the right to rescind and void Participant’s Reward. G&A will report earnings under the Program as required by applicable law. Any Rewards will be reported on Form 1099 for all Participants who are not G&A corporate employees.
