BizShop Customer Keeper Services

BizShop Mystery Shopper Independent Contractor Agreement

BizShop will request your services on an assignment-by-assignment basis. You are an independent contractor, and not in any way an employee or agent of BizShop.

As an independent contractor, you are responsible for paying all state and federal income taxes due. BizShop does not withhold taxes from your compensation and does not pay taxes on your behalf.  If you make more than $599.00 in one year, BizShop will send you and the IRS a 1099 form.

When BizShop notifies you of an available assignment either by e-mail or telephone, you may either accept or decline. Acceptance of an assignment creates an implied contract between you, as the independent contractor, and BizShop.  If conflicts arise, you must notify BizShop as much as possible (preferably 24 hours) in advance, either by telephone or e-mail, so that we may reschedule the assignment.  You are much less likely to get future assignments should you not complete a scheduled assignment.

Each assignment varies in scope and pay.  Sometimes, services and products go along with your compensation; however, do not assume that you may purchase something and be reimbursed for it, unless stated in the Shopper Directions (the specific guidelines, scenario and quality required in your assignments).  Reimbursement also varies and is often limited to a specific amount or cap.  BizShop does not normally reimburse for mileage, postage or telephone calls/facsimiles - these are the responsibility of the shopper.  In addition, all reimbursements require an applicable receipt when requested. 

You are not to duplicate, disseminate or divulge information relating to the assignments you have with BizShop to anyone, without prior written consent.  Our client's privacy is of the utmost importance.  As a trusted participant in the mystery shopping process, you promise to keep all information confidential.  You agree not to divulge the accounts you work and/or any processes used in the assessment of those accounts. 

You agree not to accept an assignment if you are an immediate family member, employee or an ex-employee of a client. You should immediately let our scheduler know if this applies.

We cannot contract with shoppers under the age of 18 - however if you are under 18 you may apply. Occasionally we may get assignments that require young age - if we do you will be required to have an adult contract with us and you will work with them.

Finally, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

  This certifies that you completely understand this contract and intend to comply implicitly.
