WalkThroo operates an online marketplace that connects homeowners ("Clients") with licensed, insured, and background-checked contractors ("Contractors") for home improvement projects. The Service facilitates project posting, bid submission, contractor discovery, and initial communication. WalkThroo does not directly perform any contracting work and is not a party to any agreement between Clients and Contractors. WalkThroo does not guarantee the quality, timing, legality, or completion of any work performed by Contractors.
4. Contractor Obligations
Contractors using the Service agree to: (a) maintain a valid and current contractor license in all jurisdictions where they offer services; (b) maintain adequate liability insurance coverage as required by applicable law and WalkThroo policy; (c) provide accurate business and tax information, including a valid W-9; (d) consent to and pass a background check as part of the verification process; (e) comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations; (f) provide accurate and honest information in all bids and communications; and (g) perform all accepted work in a professional and workmanlike manner.

The Service is free for Clients. There are no charges for posting projects, receiving bids, or selecting a Contractor. Contractors are charged a referral fee only when a Client selects their bid. Referral fees range from $29 to $69 per lead, depending on project type and estimated value. Referral fees are non-refundable except in cases of verified invalid leads as determined by WalkThroo in its sole discretion. WalkThroo reserves the right to modify its fee structure at any time with reasonable advance notice to affected users. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to applicable taxes.
