Travel Agent Partner Agreement
This Travel Agent Partner Agreement (the "Agreement") is between Premium Lane LLC ("Premium Lane," "we," "us") and the person or company that applies to and is approved for the Premium Lane Travel Agent Partner Program (the "Partner," "you"). By submitting an application and checking the acceptance box, and again by using the partner portal after approval, you agree to these terms.
1.The program
The Travel Agent Partner Program lets approved Partners arrange chauffeured ground transportation with Premium Lane on behalf of their own clients, through a dedicated partner portal, and earn a commission on completed rides. Participation is free. Approval is at Premium Lane's discretion, and we may decline or revoke access at any time as described in Section 9.
2.Independent contractor — not an employee or agent
You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, joint venture, franchise, or general agency relationship. You have no authority to sign for, bind, or make commitments on behalf of Premium Lane, and you agree not to represent otherwise to any client or third party. You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance, licenses, and business expenses.
3.Commission
- Your commission rate starts at 10% of the total ride price (excluding refunds) for each qualifying booking.
- Rates increase automatically with monthly volume: 12% once you place 20 or more bookings within a single calendar month, and 15% at 40 or more within a single calendar month. The monthly count resets each calendar month, but once a higher rate is unlocked it does not drop back down.
- A booking qualifies for commission only when the ride is completed and paid in full by the client. Cancelled, refunded, charged-back, or unpaid rides do not qualify; commission already credited for a ride that is later refunded or charged back may be deducted from future payouts.
- Commission is calculated at the time of booking at your then-current rate and is displayed in your partner dashboard.
- Premium Lane sets all ride prices. Partners may not add their own markup to prices quoted through the portal or hold themselves out as setting Premium Lane's prices.
4.Payouts and taxes
- Commission is paid monthly, in arrears, for the prior month's qualifying rides.
- Payouts are sent through Stripe to a payout account you connect from your partner portal. You must complete Stripe's onboarding — which collects your legal name, address, tax identification (SSN or EIN), and bank details directly with Stripe — before your first payout. Premium Lane never stores your bank or tax identification numbers.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide to Stripe and for your own tax obligations. If your commission totals $600 or more in a calendar year, you will receive an IRS Form 1099-NEC as required by law.
- Premium Lane may withhold or delay a payout where required by law, where fraud is suspected, or where a payout account is not fully verified.
5.Referral code
- Your referral code identifies bookings made by your clients directly on premiumlane.net so you receive credit for them.
- The code may be shared privately with your own clients. It may not be published on coupon or deal sites, bid on as a search advertising keyword, or presented as a public discount code.
- You may not use your own code or portal to book rides for yourself or your household in order to earn commission on your own travel.
6.Clients and conduct
- Riders you book remain clients of both you (for travel arrangement) and Premium Lane (for the transportation service itself). Premium Lane is solely responsible for operating the ride; you are solely responsible for your relationship and communications with your client.
- You agree to represent the program truthfully — including prices, vehicle classes, and service area — and not to promise anything on Premium Lane's behalf that the portal or our published materials do not offer.
- You will comply with all laws applicable to your business, including any registration your jurisdiction requires of persons selling or arranging travel services.
7.Confidentiality and data
- Through the portal you will see client and booking information (names, contact details, trip details). You may use this information only to arrange and manage the relevant bookings, and you agree to keep it confidential and secure.
- You may not sell, share, or use client or booking data for any other purpose, including marketing unrelated services, without the client's consent.
- Premium Lane's handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
8.No guarantee
Premium Lane does not guarantee any volume of bookings, client demand, vehicle availability, or earnings. Tier thresholds describe how rates are calculated, not a promise of achievable volume. The program, portal, prices, vehicle classes, and service area may change.
9.Term, suspension, and termination
- This Agreement starts when you are approved and continues until ended by either party. You may leave the program at any time by emailing support@premiumlane.net.
- Premium Lane may place an account on hold or terminate it at any time, with or without cause, including for suspected fraud, chargebacks, misuse of the referral code, misrepresentation, or breach of this Agreement.
- On termination, portal access ends. Commission already earned on qualifying (completed and paid) rides will still be paid on the normal monthly schedule, unless the termination is for fraud or the commission is subject to refund or chargeback deductions.
10.Disclaimers and limits on liability
The program and portal are provided "as is." To the maximum extent allowed by law, Premium Lane will not be liable to you for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, arising out of the program; and Premium Lane's total liability to you under this Agreement is limited to the commission amounts owed but unpaid to you. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
11.Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold Premium Lane harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your breach of this Agreement, your misrepresentation of the program, or your handling of client data in violation of Section 7.
12.Changes to this Agreement
We may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be announced by email to the address on your account and/or in the portal at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the portal after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to leave the program before the change takes effect.
13.General
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement between you and Premium Lane about the program and replaces any prior discussions. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent.
