5. How OneBid Works
‍

5.1 Project Posting

Homeowners post projects with descriptions, budgets, and requirements. OneBid provides pricing

guidance resources to help homeowners set appropriate budgets, but homeowners are solely responsible

for setting their project prices.

‍

5.2 Contractor Response Options

When a contractor views a project, they have three options:

1. Accept - Agree to complete the project at the homeowner's stated price

2. Counter - Submit ONE counter-offer with a different price and explanation

3. Pass - Decline the project opportunity

Each contractor may only submit one response per project (either an acceptance or a single counter-offer).

‍

5.3 Homeowner Decision

If a contractor submits a counter-offer, the homeowner may:

Accept the counter-offer

Decline the counter-offer

Select a different contractor who accepted the original price

‍

5.4 Connection and Agreement

Once a homeowner selects a contractor (whether accepting the original bid or a counter-offer), OneBid

facilitates the introduction. All subsequent arrangements, contracts, payments, scheduling, and work

performance occur directly between the homeowner and contractor.

‍

6. Fees and Payment
‍

6.1 Homeowner Fees

OneBid is currently free for homeowners to use. We reserve the right to implement fees for homeowners

in the future with advance notice.
‍

6.2 Contractor Subscription Fees

Contractors must pay a monthly subscription fee to access project opportunities on OneBid. Subscription

fees are charged monthly in advance and are non-refundable except as required by law.

Current subscription tiers and pricing are displayed during the sign-up process and in your account

settings.
‍

6.3 Contractor Subscription Payment Processing

Contractor subscription payments are processed through OneBid using third-party payment processors.

By providing payment information, you authorize OneBid to charge your account for subscription fees

according to your selected subscription plan.
‍

6.4 Failed Subscription Payments

If a subscription payment fails, OneBid may suspend or terminate your contractor account until payment

is received. You remain responsible for any unpaid subscription fees.
‍

6.5 Project Payments Between Users

OneBid does not process, facilitate, or handle any payments for project work. All payments for services

are arranged and made directly between the homeowner and contractor outside of the Platform. OneBid

has no involvement in project payments and takes no commission or fees from project transactions.
‍

7. Platform as Intermediary Only

contractors. We do not employ contractors, guarantee work quality, or assume responsibility for project

outcomes.
