Independent Contractor Agreement

BK Promotions · Yard Sign Placement Program · Version 1.3 · Effective October 10, 2026

This Independent Contractor Agreement (the "Agreement") is between BK Promotions, 126 Kuhl Ave, Warrenton, Missouri 63383 ("BK," "we," "us"), and the person who accepts it in the BK Promoters mobile app (the "Contractor," "you"). You accept this Agreement by checking the box on the sign-up screen; that check is your electronic signature and has the same effect as a handwritten one.

1. What the work is

BK promotes events and advertises them with yard signs and banners placed along public roads. Through the BK Promoters app you may request jobs. A placement job is placing a stated number of yard signs (normally 100) for a stated event within a stated window of days. A pickup job is collecting a stated event's signs after it ends and reporting any that are missing. You decide whether to request a job; BK decides whether to offer one. Nothing in this Agreement obliges either of us to offer or take any particular job.

2. You are an independent contractor

1. You are an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of BK. You are not entitled to wages, overtime, benefits, unemployment insurance, or workers' compensation from BK, and BK will not withhold taxes.
2. Within a job's window you choose your own hours, route order, breaks, and vehicle. The app tells you where each sign goes because location is the product BK is buying; it does not direct how you drive or when you work.
3. You may work for anyone else, including other promoters, and you may decline any job.
4. You supply your own vehicle, fuel, phone, and tools (a mallet or stake driver is useful). BK supplies the signs and stakes.
5. You are responsible for all taxes on what BK pays you. BK will issue an IRS Form 1099-NEC if it pays you $600 or more in a calendar year, and you agree to provide a completed Form W-9 before your first payout.

3. Pay

1. Placement. Each yard sign earns points set by the app at the moment you confirm it (traffic, visibility, timing, spacing, and area). You are paid one cent per point, up to $5.00 per sign and up to the job's stated cap (normally $500 for 100 signs). The points shown on the app's confirmation card before you tap Confirm are the points you are paid.
2. Drive pay. Every placement job also pays for the driving its planned route requires: up to 49 cents per mile of the route the app shows for the job, measured once by BK's routing when the job is posted (not by your odometer). Drive pay is earned in proportion to the planned spots you complete and is scaled down where needed so that sign pay plus drive pay never exceeds the job's cap. The job card shows the sign pay, the drive pay, and the total before you take the job.
3. Pickup. $2.00 for each yard sign you recover and $1.00 for each one you locate as missing and report in the app. Banner pickup pays per part as shown in the app.
4. Only signs placed where the app directs are paid. The app marks paid locations with yellow dots and will not accept a sign more than 300 feet from one. A sign placed anywhere else is unpaid and may need to be removed at your expense.
5. Review. After a job ends BK reviews it, normally within three business days, using the app's GPS records and photos. BK may refuse payment for a sign that was not actually placed, was placed somewhere other than the app shows, is a duplicate, or was placed with a falsified location. You may dispute a review decision in writing within seven days; BK will answer in writing.
6. Payout. Approved amounts are paid by Stripe or PayPal, whichever you set up in the app, normally within five business days of approval. Stripe and PayPal may charge you their own fees and have their own terms.
7. A job that ends with fewer signs placed than its count pays for the signs placed. A placement window that closes before you finish ends the job.

4. Signs and other property

1. Signs, stakes, banners, posts, and netting remain BK's property at all times. They are counted when handed to you and recorded in the app.
2. You will place only the signs for the job you are on, return every unplaced sign within three days of the job ending, and not use, give away, sell, alter, or discard any BK property.
3. Signs handed to you that you neither place nor return are charged at $4.00 per yard sign and stake, and BK may deduct that amount from money it owes you. This applies only to signs still in your possession. A sign you placed where the app directed and recorded in the app is BK's to look after from then on; if it is later taken, damaged, or missing when it is picked up, that is not charged to you.
4. BK does not require a deposit for signs.

5. How you place signs

1. Follow the app. Place each sign at or near a yellow dot, upright, facing traffic, on the public right-of-way where signs are customarily allowed, clear of sidewalks, driveways, sight lines at intersections, and utility markings.
2. Never place a sign on an interstate or expressway main line, in the middle of an interchange, on private property without the owner's permission, on utility poles, or in a town the app marks as prohibited. The app blocks these; do not work around it.
3. Stop only where it is safe and legal to stop. Do not place signs from the travel lane, do not stop on shoulders of high-speed roads, and wear bright or reflective clothing in low light. Your safety is your responsibility; no sign is worth an injury.
4. Obey all traffic laws and local ordinances. If a city, county, or police officer tells you to stop placing signs or removes signs, comply, stay polite, and report it in the app's issue reporter right away so BK can respond.
5. Do not work while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or exhaustion.

6. Tickets, fines, and damage

1. You are responsible for all traffic and parking violations and for any damage to your vehicle or others' property arising from your driving.
2. If a city or county fines or cites for a sign that you placed where the app directed (within 300 feet of a yellow dot, in an area the app did not mark prohibited), BK will pay or defend that citation. Citations for signs placed anywhere else, or placed against an officer's instruction, are yours.
3. You will tell BK within 24 hours about any accident, injury, citation, or confrontation that happens while you are on a job.

7. The app, your location, and honesty

1. While a job is running the app records your phone's location and the location, time, and photo of every sign you place or pick up. BK uses this to pay you, find the signs again, and review jobs. You consent to that collection. BK's privacy policy is at promoters.bkpromotions.us/privacy.
2. You will use only your own account, keep your password private, and not let anyone else place signs under your name.
3. Faking a location, using a GPS spoofing tool, recording a sign you did not place, or marking a sign recovered that you did not recover is a material breach. BK may withhold pay for the affected job, end this Agreement, and recover any amounts already paid for falsified work.

8. Insurance and responsibility

1. You will keep your driver's license valid and your vehicle registered and insured as Missouri (or your state) requires.
2. BK is not liable for injury to you or damage to your vehicle or belongings while you perform this work, except where caused by BK's own negligence or misconduct.
3. You will indemnify and hold BK harmless from claims, damages, fines, and costs that arise from your negligence, your violation of law, or your breach of this Agreement.

9. Confidentiality

The app's scoring, routes, pay rates, event plans, and the locations of BK's signs are BK's confidential information. Do not share them outside BK or use them for anyone else's benefit. Where BK's signs are is also, in practice, the only record of BK's property in the field; treat it accordingly.

10. Ending this Agreement

1. Either of us may end this Agreement at any time by notice through the app, text, or email. BK may also suspend your account at any time.
2. Ending it does not affect pay you have already earned for accepted signs, your duty to return BK's property within three days, or sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11, which continue.

11. General

1. This Agreement is governed by Missouri law. Any dispute will be brought in the state courts of Warren County, Missouri, unless BK agrees otherwise in writing.
2. BK may update this Agreement by posting a new version and notifying you in the app. Taking a new job after notice is acceptance of the new version; the version in force when you took a job governs that job.
3. If part of this Agreement is unenforceable, the rest still applies. This is the entire agreement between us about this work and replaces any earlier understanding.
4. Notices to BK: [email protected] or 126 Kuhl Ave, Warrenton, MO 63383. Notices to you: the phone number and email on your account.
