GreenBadgers invoices its clients, the Hiring Firm, for fees for a placed candidate in 3 equal installments due 30 / 60 / 90 days after a candidate’s first day of employment.

3. Warranties
Provider provides 90-day prorated warranties on placed candidates. Warranties are applicable only if placement fee payments are made on time by the Hiring Firm, and only in the event that a candidate resigns or is terminated by the Hiring Firm during the warranty period.

If the Provider provides the same candidate as another Provider within the same 90-day period the Candidate will decide which Provider is to be the Candidate Source of Record.
