2. Basic Plus Member Responsibilities

As a Basic Plus Member, you are expected to actively contribute to the MBAide community in order to maintain the collaborative and supportive nature of the platform. This includes engaging regularly on Slack, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn; liking, sharing, and reposting MBAide and L’Associare content across social media; attending MBAide Speaker Series events; mentoring other MBAides or contributing meaningfully to community discussions; and being available and committed to meeting with clients while maintaining timely, respectful, and professional communication at all times.

3. Commission-Based Projects, Payment Handling and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

When an MBAide is matched with a paying client through the MBAide platform, the following terms apply:

L’Associare facilitates all aspects of the engagement, including client introductions, proposal review, and payment processing.
A commission fee of 30% of the total project amount, or $300 USD minimum - whichever is greater - will be applied to all paid projects resulting from L’Associare-facilitated introductions.
All contracts and payments must be processed exclusively through L’Associare’s platform and administrative systems. The MBAide may not invoice or contract directly with clients introduced by L’Associare.
MBAides must not bypass, circumvent, or exclude L’Associare from any current or future engagements with clients initially introduced through the platform. Any such action constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of membership and potential legal action.
L’Associare’s role in these engagements is administrative only, and limited to facilitating introductions, collecting commissions, and managing agreed-upon contracts. L’Associare assumes no responsibility for services rendered or outcomes of MBAide-client engagements and limits its liability to the commission fee received.

The MBAide agrees to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all sensitive, proprietary, or personal information exchanged during any client engagement. These Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) obligations survive termination of this membership.
