These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to GoatConnect.io, participation in GoatConnect programs, and use of services provided by GoatConnect (“GoatConnect,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By submitting an application, checking an agreement box, providing payment information, signing
a service agreement, purchasing or using a service, or otherwise electronically accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by them.
If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company. “Client” and “you” refer to both the individual accepting these Terms and the business receiving the services.
1. Services Covered
These Terms apply to GoatConnect services and programs, including:
Verified Opportunity and pay-per-opportunity programs
Advertising and lead-generation services
Marketing management
CRM systems, automations, workflows, and integrations
Websites, landing pages, funnels, and tracking systems
Search engine optimization
Consulting, coaching, training, and related services
Email, telephone, and SMS communications
Specific services may also be governed by a proposal, order form, service agreement, checkout page, or written electronic agreement. If a service-specific agreement conflicts with these Terms, the service-specific agreement controls for that service.
2. Applications and Approval
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, territory availability, opportunity volume, or service activation.
GoatConnect may evaluate an applicant’s services, market, service area, capacity, business information, reputation, delivery preferences, and other relevant factors before approval.
We may accept, decline, limit, suspend, or postpone activation based on market conditions, service availability, payment status, operational capacity, or program fit.
3. Verified Opportunity Program
Qualifying Opportunity Definition
A “Qualifying Opportunity” is a legitimate project request from a homeowner or property representative that:
Requests a concrete-coating service the Client has agreed to accept
Is located within the Client’s approved service area
Includes usable contact information
Includes a selected project timeline or other indication of project interest
Includes consent to be contacted about the project
A Qualifying Opportunity is not a guaranteed appointment, estimate, sale, customer, revenue amount, or return on investment.
Opportunity Delivery
Opportunities may be delivered by text message, email, CRM notification, webhook, telephone, or another agreed delivery method.
An opportunity is considered delivered when GoatConnect sends or makes the opportunity information available through the Client’s selected delivery method.
The Client is responsible for maintaining accurate delivery information and promptly notifying GoatConnect of changes to its phone number, email address, service area, accepted services, availability, or capacity.
Introductory Pricing
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a newly approved Client’s first 10 Qualifying Opportunities are billed at $80 each.
The introductory rate is generally available once per approved company or account unless GoatConnect agrees otherwise in writing.
There is no prepaid lead package or separate advertising budget required for the Verified Opportunity Program unless expressly stated in a separate agreement.
Payment Authorization
By providing a payment method and activating the Verified Opportunity Program, the Client authorizes GoatConnect and its payment processor to:
Store the payment method for future use
Charge the agreed price as each Qualifying Opportunity is delivered
Retry a failed payment
Charge properly due balances associated with opportunities delivered before a pause or cancellation becomes effective
A small temporary authorization may be used to verify a payment method. The timing for releasing an authorization is controlled by the Client’s bank or card issuer.
If a payment fails, GoatConnect may pause opportunity delivery, retry the payment method, request updated payment information, and collect outstanding balances before resuming service.
Pricing After the First 10 Opportunities
The $80 rate applies to the first 10 Qualifying Opportunities unless a different introductory arrangement is confirmed in writing.
Pricing for future opportunities may vary based on factors such as:
Market conditions
Service area
Project mix
Seasonality
Advertising costs
Opportunity availability
Delivery volume
GoatConnect will disclose any new price before delivering additional opportunities at that price. The Client may accept the new rate, pause delivery, or stop participating before the new rate takes effect.
Acceptance may be provided through an online agreement, checkbox, email, text message, payment authorization, or another written electronic confirmation.
Weekly Targets and Maximums
The Client may select or confirm a desired weekly opportunity target. This target is used for planning and is not a guaranteed delivery volume or minimum purchase commitment.
Opportunity volume may fluctuate based on homeowner demand, advertising performance, market size, seasonality, service area, project availability, and other conditions outside GoatConnect’s control.
Any weekly maximum must be confirmed in writing. GoatConnect will use commercially reasonable efforts to follow an agreed maximum. Opportunities already generated, matched, or delivered before a pause or limit change is processed may remain billable.
Opportunity Exclusivity
Each Qualifying Opportunity is assigned to one installer and will not knowingly be sold or assigned by GoatConnect to another competing coating company for the same project.
Opportunity exclusivity does not mean territory exclusivity.
Unless GoatConnect agrees otherwise in writing:
GoatConnect may work with other contractors in the same geographic market
A homeowner may independently contact other companies
GoatConnect does not guarantee that a homeowner has not contacted another provider through another source
Credit Requests
Credit requests must be submitted within 48 hours of opportunity delivery.
An opportunity may be eligible for credit if:
The contact information is invalid
The opportunity is a duplicate previously delivered by GoatConnect for the same project
The project is outside the approved service area
The request is for a service the Client did not agree to accept
The submission is spam, fraudulent, or otherwise not a legitimate project request
GoatConnect may request reasonable information needed to review the credit request.
The following do not, by themselves, make an opportunity invalid:
The homeowner does not answer
The homeowner does not immediately respond
An appointment is not scheduled
The homeowner cancels an appointment
The project does not proceed
The Client does not provide an estimate
The opportunity does not result in a sale
The homeowner rejects the Client’s price or financing options
The Client is unable to contact the homeowner within its preferred timeframe
The same person appears in the Client’s records from another marketing source
Approved credits are ordinarily applied toward future Qualifying Opportunities and are not cash refunds unless required by law or expressly agreed to in writing.
Client Responsibilities
The Client is responsible for:
Contacting each homeowner
Completing appropriate follow-up
Scheduling and providing estimates
Accurately representing its services
Maintaining required licenses, insurance, and authorizations
Complying with applicable consumer-protection, privacy, communication, and contracting laws
Performing contracted work
Handling customer service, warranties, collections, and disputes
Converting opportunities into customers
GoatConnect does not perform the Client’s estimating, selling, contracting, installation, warranty, or customer-service obligations unless separately agreed in writing.
No Results Guarantee
GoatConnect does not guarantee:
A particular number of opportunities
Contact with every homeowner
Appointments
Estimates
Sales
Revenue
Profit
Return on investment
Customer payment or project completion
Results depend on numerous factors outside GoatConnect’s control, including market conditions, homeowner behavior, the Client’s response time, follow-up, pricing, reputation, availability, sales ability, and service quality.
Pausing or Stopping Opportunity Delivery
The Client may request to pause or stop future opportunity delivery by contacting GoatConnect in writing, including by email or text message.
GoatConnect will use reasonable efforts to process the request promptly. The Client remains responsible for Qualifying Opportunities generated, matched, or delivered before the request is received and processed.
Pausing or stopping delivery does not eliminate unpaid balances for previously delivered opportunities.
4. Managed Marketing and Other Recurring Services
Pricing, service scope, advertising budgets, minimum terms, renewal provisions, and cancellation requirements for managed marketing and other recurring services are established in the applicable proposal, order form, checkout page, or service agreement.
Unless expressly included, third-party costs may be separate from GoatConnect’s service fees. These may include:
Advertising spend
Domain registration
Website hosting
Telephone and SMS usage
Email usage
CRM subscriptions
Third-party software
Payment-processing charges
Platform fees
The Client authorizes GoatConnect to act on the Client’s behalf within the accounts and systems reasonably necessary to provide the purchased services.
5. Third-Party Platforms
GoatConnect services may rely on platforms operated by third parties, including advertising platforms, search engines, CRM providers, telecommunications providers, payment processors, hosting companies, and software services.
GoatConnect does not control and is not responsible for:
Platform outages
Algorithm changes
Account reviews or suspensions
Advertising disapprovals
Messaging registration delays
Changes in third-party policies
Data supplied by third parties
Processing delays
Network or carrier failures
Features modified or discontinued by a third-party provider
GoatConnect will use commercially reasonable efforts to manage issues within the scope of the Client’s purchased service, but cannot guarantee the availability or conduct of third-party platforms.
6. Client Information, Content, and Compliance
The Client agrees to provide accurate and complete information reasonably needed to perform the services.
The Client represents that it has the right to provide GoatConnect with any materials, customer information, trademarks, photographs, videos, testimonials, account access, or other content supplied to GoatConnect.
The Client is responsible for the legality and accuracy of its:
Business claims
Services
Pricing
Promotions
Licenses
Warranties
Customer agreements
Advertising offers
Client-supplied content
GoatConnect may refuse or remove content that it reasonably believes is deceptive, unlawful, infringing, unsafe, or inconsistent with platform policies.
7. Fees, Billing, and Disputes
The Client agrees to pay all fees and charges authorized under these Terms or an applicable service agreement.
Unless otherwise stated:
Fees already earned or services already delivered are non-refundable
Advertising spend and third-party charges are non-refundable
Approved opportunity credits are applied to the Client’s account
Failure to use a service does not eliminate payment obligations already incurred
Applicable taxes may be added where required
Clients should notify GoatConnect promptly if they believe a charge is incorrect. Initiating a chargeback does not eliminate valid payment obligations.
GoatConnect may suspend services or opportunity delivery when an account has an overdue or failed payment.
8. Cancellation and Offboarding for Managed Services
Cancellation Requests
A Client may request cancellation by email, text message, or telephone, subject to any notice period, minimum term, or cancellation provision in the applicable service agreement.
A cancellation request begins the offboarding process. It does not automatically transfer ownership of GoatConnect materials or authorize their continued use after the applicable license ends.
Required Offboarding Cooperation
The Client agrees to reasonably cooperate with GoatConnect in completing offboarding.
This may include maintaining or temporarily restoring appropriate administrative or partner access to advertising accounts, CRM systems, websites, automations, integrations, funnels, workflows, campaigns, or other platforms where GoatConnect-owned or licensed materials must be removed, disabled, separated, or transferred.
GoatConnect will not intentionally delay offboarding for the purpose of extending billing.
Revocation of Access
The Client agrees not to intentionally interfere with GoatConnect’s reasonable efforts to remove or disable GoatConnect-owned or licensed materials.
If the Client removes required access before offboarding is completed:
GoatConnect may be unable to complete technical removal or separation
The Client remains responsible for discontinuing unauthorized use
GoatConnect may request written confirmation that its materials have been removed
Revocation of access does not transfer ownership or grant continued usage rights
Recurring billing will be governed by the applicable service agreement and cancellation terms. Access issues alone do not authorize GoatConnect to extend billing indefinitely.
Offboarding Confirmation
After required offboarding steps are completed, GoatConnect may provide written confirmation that the account has been closed and recurring services have ended, subject to outstanding balances and the applicable service agreement.
9. Intellectual Property and Licensed Materials
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, GoatConnect retains ownership of its pre-existing and newly developed proprietary materials, including:
Systems and processes
Campaign structures
Advertising frameworks
Templates
Workflows and automations
Scripts and copy
Creative concepts
Tracking configurations
CRM configurations
Funnels
Internal documentation
Training materials
Methods, strategies, and know-how
During an active paid service, the Client receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to use applicable GoatConnect materials solely in connection with the purchased service.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this license ends when the applicable service and required offboarding are completed.
Following termination, the Client may not copy, reproduce, distribute, transfer, sublicense, sell, reverse engineer, recreate, or continue using GoatConnect-owned or licensed materials without written authorization.
The Client retains ownership of its pre-existing:
Business name and trademarks
Logos
Photographs and videos
Customer and prospect data
Account credentials
Business records
Other Client-supplied materials
Unauthorized continued use of GoatConnect intellectual property may result in suspension, removal requests, injunctive relief, damages, and reasonable enforcement costs where permitted by law.
10. Confidentiality
Each party may receive non-public business, technical, financial, customer, or operational information from the other party.
Each party agrees to use confidential information only for purposes connected to the services and to take reasonable measures to protect it.
Confidential information does not include information that:
Becomes publicly available without a breach of these Terms
Was lawfully known before disclosure
Is received lawfully from another source
Is independently developed without use of the other party’s confidential information
Must be disclosed by law or valid legal process

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GoatConnect’s total liability arising from a particular service will not exceed the amount the Client paid GoatConnect for that service during the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
These limitations do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited.
15. Indemnification

The updated version will be posted with a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes affecting an active paid service will apply prospectively and may also be communicated by email, text, account notice, or another reasonable method.
A change to the price of Verified Opportunities will not apply to future deliveries until the new rate has been disclosed and accepted as described above.
18. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which GoatConnect maintains its principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, any legal proceeding relating to these Terms or GoatConnect services must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction where GoatConnect maintains its principal place of business.
Before filing a legal proceeding, each party agrees to make a good-faith attempt to resolve the dispute through direct written communication.
19. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
The Client may not assign its rights or obligations under these Terms without GoatConnect’s written consent. GoatConnect may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or transfer of the applicable business.
Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except that payment obligations for services already provided remain due.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable proposal, order form, checkout page, or service agreement constitute the complete agreement concerning the applicable service and replace prior discussions concerning that service.
Electronic acceptance, electronic records, text messages, and email communications may be used to document agreements, notices, approvals, and authorizations.
