Service Provider Guidelines – BIROQ Service Alliance

Important Service Provider Guidelines – Standards, Conduct, and Operational Requirements for BIROQ Service Alliance Network Partners

Every service provider in the BIROQ Service Alliance network plays a direct role in shaping the customer experience. When a customer contacts us and we dispatch a partner to fulfill that request, that partner is representing our network from the moment they arrive to the moment the job is complete.

These guidelines exist to protect you as a partner, to protect the customer, and to protect the integrity of the network as a whole. They are not suggestions. They are the operational standards that every service provider in our network is expected to follow on every job.

Read through this page carefully before your first assignment. If you have questions about any of the guidelines listed here, contact our team directly at (202) 929-0560 or info.biroq@gmail.com before proceeding with work.

Arrival and Scheduling Standards

Please adhere to the scheduled arrival window provided for each assignment and make every reasonable effort to arrive within the agreed timeframe.

When a job is dispatched to you, you will be given an estimated time of arrival to communicate or confirm. That ETA is not a suggestion. It is a commitment made to the customer on your behalf. Customers plan their day around service appointments, and a missed or significantly delayed arrival creates a poor experience that reflects on the network.

If you are running behind schedule for any reason, contact BIROQ Service Alliance immediately so that we can communicate the updated arrival time to the customer. Do not contact the customer directly to explain delays. All customer communication is handled by our team.

If an emergency prevents you from fulfilling a dispatched assignment entirely, notify our team as early as possible so that we can arrange an alternative. Repeated missed or late arrivals without prior notice are grounds for review of your standing in the network.

Pricing, Invoicing, and Payment Communication

To ensure a consistent customer experience and a centralized billing process, service providers must not discuss pricing, rates, invoices, payment arrangements, or provide receipts directly to customers.

This is one of the most important guidelines in our network and applies to every job without exception.

All pricing is coordinated by BIROQ Service Alliance before a job is dispatched. The customer has already reviewed and approved an estimate by the time you arrive on site. There is no reason for pricing to come up between you and the customer during or after the job.

Specifically, you must not:

  • Quote prices or provide any verbal or written cost estimate directly to a customer
  • Accept payment directly from a customer in any form unless you have received explicit written authorization from BIROQ Service Alliance for that specific job
  • Discuss rates, hourly fees, flat charges, or any other pricing structure with a customer
  • Provide a receipt, invoice, or any documentation of charges to a customer
  • Make any statements about discounts, price changes, or billing adjustments

All invoicing, payment processing, and receipt generation are managed exclusively by BIROQ Service Alliance. If a customer asks you about the cost of a service, the bill, or how payment works, direct them to our team at (202) 929-0560. Do not attempt to answer pricing questions on our behalf.

This policy exists to protect you from billing disputes, to ensure that customers receive accurate information, and to keep the financial side of each transaction professional and consistent.

Scope of Work and On-Site Changes

You are expected to complete the scope of work as it was communicated to you at the time of dispatch. If you arrive on site and find that the conditions differ significantly from what was described, or if the customer requests additional services beyond the original scope, do not begin that additional work without first contacting BIROQ Service Alliance.

Our team will communicate with the customer about the updated scope, confirm revised pricing, and authorize you to proceed. Any work performed beyond the approved scope without prior authorization may not be compensated and could affect your standing in the network.

This process protects you as much as it protects the customer. Getting authorization before expanding the scope of a job means you are never in a position where a customer disputes what was agreed to.

Professional Conduct Standards

As a BIROQ Service Alliance partner, you are expected to conduct yourself professionally in every customer interaction. This means:

  • Arriving in appropriate work attire or a professional appearance suited to your service category
  • Speaking to customers in a respectful and courteous manner at all times
  • Avoiding any discussions of personal matters, complaints about the network, or commentary on pricing or business arrangements
  • Maintaining a clean and professional work area and cleaning up after the job is complete when applicable
  • Representing the BIROQ Service Alliance network as though your continued relationship with us depends on it, because it does

Unprofessional behavior, disputes with customers, or conduct that reflects poorly on the network will be addressed immediately by our team. In serious cases, incidents of unprofessional conduct may result in removal from the partner network.

Customer Communication Policy

All correspondence with the customer is the responsibility of BIROQ Service Alliance. This includes the following:

  • Initial job confirmation and scheduling
  • ETA updates and arrival notifications
  • Pricing discussions and estimate approvals
  • Billing inquiries and payment processing
  • Complaints, disputes, and follow-up after job completion

If a customer contacts you directly about any of these matters, direct them to our team at (202) 929-0560. You are not expected to resolve billing disputes, process refunds, or handle complaints on behalf of the network.

This policy is not meant to create distance between you and the customer during a job. You are expected to be communicative, professional, and helpful while you are on site. The policy applies to business matters, not to the normal working relationship required to complete the job.

Compensation and Payment to Service Providers

You are performing services as an approved service provider within the BIROQ Service Alliance network. Following completion of a job, compensation will be issued by BIROQ Service Alliance in accordance with your agreed service provider terms and payment schedule.

Compensation is not collected from the customer by you. Payments from customers are processed by our team and your portion is issued separately according to the terms of your partnership agreement.

If you have questions about your compensation for a specific job, contact our team directly. Do not discuss compensation structures, payment splits, or provider rates with customers under any circumstances.

Accepted payment methods used by our team when processing customer payments include:

  • Zelle
  • CashApp
  • Venmo
  • PayPal
  • ACH or bank transfer
  • Debit or credit card

Your compensation will be issued through the method confirmed during your onboarding or as otherwise agreed with our team.

Reporting Requirements

Clear and timely communication with our team is essential to keeping the network running properly. As a partner, you are expected to notify BIROQ Service Alliance in the following situations:

  • When you are en route to a job and your estimated arrival time changes
  • When you arrive on site and discover conditions that differ from the original service description
  • When a customer requests additional work beyond the original scope
  • When a job is complete so that we can confirm completion with the customer
  • When any issue arises during a job that could affect the customer experience or the final cost
  • When you are unable to fulfill a dispatched assignment for any reason

Prompt reporting allows our team to manage the customer relationship correctly and ensures that you are protected if any disputes arise after the job is completed. If there is ever a question about what happened on a job, your timely communication with our team is your best protection.

Cancellations and No-Shows

If a customer cancels before you are dispatched, no action is required on your part. Our team will notify you and no further steps are needed.

If a cancellation occurs after you have been dispatched and are en route or on site, notify BIROQ Service Alliance immediately. In those cases, a cancellation fee may apply to the customer, and costs relevant to your time or travel may be factored into your compensation depending on the circumstances.

If you need to cancel or withdraw from a dispatched assignment, notify our team as early as possible. Cancellations without adequate notice that leave a customer without service are taken seriously and will be reviewed as part of your partner performance record.

Licensing, Insurance, and Legal Compliance

You are responsible for maintaining any licenses, certifications, or insurance required by your state, county, or local jurisdiction for the type of services you provide. BIROQ Service Alliance does not carry licenses or insurance on your behalf.

If your licensing or insurance status changes at any time, notify our team immediately. Continuing to accept jobs while out of compliance with applicable requirements is a serious issue and may result in your immediate removal from the network.

Partner Performance and Network Standing

BIROQ Service Alliance monitors partner performance on an ongoing basis. We track responsiveness, arrival reliability, customer feedback, and compliance with network guidelines. Partners who consistently perform well receive more opportunities and may be prioritized for high-volume markets or expanded service areas.

Partners who receive complaints, miss assignments without notice, violate the pricing and communication policies outlined on this page, or otherwise fall short of network standards will be contacted by our team. Depending on the nature and frequency of the issue, corrective steps may include a formal warning, a reduction in dispatched volume, or removal from the network.

We take the quality of our network seriously because our customers depend on it. Partners who take these guidelines seriously are the ones who build a lasting relationship with us.
