Birthkind Member Agreement
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between (“Birthkind”, “we”, “our”) and , (“Member”, “you”, “your”). Together, we are the “Parties.”
We enter into this agreement in the spirit of partnership. Birthkind’s goal is to help you focus on your clients and the heart of your doula work, while we take care of administrative support, client booking, and virtual support to help you feel resourced and connected.
Birthkind Membership is designed to provide:
Administrative and client booking support to reduce your backend workload.
Monthly contract tracking and financial reporting so you can focus on care, not paperwork.
Virtual support to help ensure your clients are always well cared for.
Community and accountability, including adherence to Birthkind’s Community Guidelines, which are incorporated into this Agreement.
We are here to help you thrive as a doula while ensuring your clients receive high-quality care.
2. Profit Share and Payment Terms
You agree to pay Birthkind 15% of the gross revenue per client contract that Birthkind books and manages for you.
All client contracts remain directly between you and your clients. You are responsible for service delivery and collecting payment from your clients.
Birthkind will issue a monthly invoice for all 15% shares earned during the prior month.
Invoices are Net 30, and can be paid via ACH transfer or card.
Late payments may result in temporary suspension of membership services.
2.4 Profit Share is Non-Refundable
Birthkind’s portion is owed for any contract we manage once booked, even in cases of client cancellation, unless Birthkind agrees otherwise in writing.
You are solely responsible for any applicable taxes on income you receive from clients.
Birthkind charges a one-time onboarding fee of $1,200 to cover account setup, systems access, and initial support. This fee is fully waived when you join, as long as you remain an active Member for at least twelve (12) months from the Effective Date.
If your membership ends before you complete twelve (12) months, the full $1,200 onboarding fee becomes due, except where Birthkind ends your membership without cause. Birthkind will issue an invoice for the onboarding fee following the end of your membership, payable Net 30.
