These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "member," or "Rainmaker") and CRE Media III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CRE Media," "we," "our").

By accessing or using Rain.club, the Rainmakers community, or any related tools, content, systems, or services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICE

1.1 The Rainclub/Rainmakers Platform

Rain.club is an online education, referral, community, and tools platform focused on commercial real estate capital markets. Through the Service, users ("Rainmakers") may:

  • Access educational materials, videos, templates, tools, and systems;
  • Learn about commercial real estate lending and capital markets;
  • Participate in community discussions, calls, and programs;
  • Refer prospective borrowers and opportunities to CRE Media for potential financing consideration.

CRE Media does not guarantee:

  • That you will receive leads, referrals, appointments, or opportunities;
  • That any referral will be accepted, underwritten, or closed;
  • That you will earn any referral fee or income.

Any earnings examples are illustrative only.

1.3 Ownership & Rights

All rights, title, and interest in:

  • The Rain.club platform
  • Rainmakers brand and community
  • All software, dashboards, tools, scripts, templates, training, and materials
  • All lender, borrower, investor, or client relationships connected to CRE Media or Hardwell Capital

are owned exclusively by CRE Media III, LLC.

You receive no ownership or rights to any entity, client, relationship, or intellectual property.

2. ELIGIBILITY & RELATIONSHIP

2.1 Eligibility

You affirm that:

  • You are at least 18;
  • You have the authority to enter this agreement; and
  • Your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and licensing rules in your jurisdiction.

2.2 Independent Contractor Status

You are an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, partner, or representative of CRE Media III, LLC or Hardwell Capital, LLC. You may not bind CRE Media to any obligations.

2.3 No Affiliation With Hardwell Capital as Employer

Rainmakers are not employees or representatives of Hardwell Capital, LLC or CRE Media III, LLC.

You participate solely as an independent referral source.

3. MEMBERSHIP & REFERRAL FEES

3.1 Free Members

Free members:

  • Receive limited platform access;
  • Are not eligible for referral fees, commissions, bonuses, or compensation.

3.2 Paid Members ("Paid Rainmakers")

Paid Members in good standing may be eligible to receive Referral Fees for qualifying closed transactions.

Paid membership creates eligibility, not entitlement.

3.3 Definitions

Origination Fee

The total gross fee earned and received by CRE Media III, LLC (or affiliates including Hardwell Capital, LLC) for arranging or brokering a commercial real estate transaction.

Rainmakers have no ownership or share of any Origination Fee.

Referral Fee

A discretionary payment made by CRE Media III, LLC solely for referring a prospective borrower that results in a closed transaction. A Referral Fee:

  • Is for referral only
  • Is not a fee split
  • Creates no partnership, co-brokerage, or joint venture

Rainmaker-Sourced Referral

A prospect you independently generate and introduce to CRE Media.

Company-Sourced Referral

A prospect generated by CRE Media (or its systems, marketing, affiliates, or call centers) and provided to you.

3.4 Referral Fee Structure

A. Rainmaker-Sourced Referrals — 50% Referral Fee

If:

  • You are a Paid Member in good standing
  • You refer a borrower independently
  • The referral closes
  • CRE Media actually receives the Origination Fee

Then:

CRE Media will pay you a Referral Fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Origination Fee amount.

This is a referral fee only, not a share of the Origination Fee itself.

B. Company-Sourced Referrals — 20% Referral Fee

If CRE Media provides the lead/appointment and it closes:

CRE Media will pay you a Referral Fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Origination Fee amount.

Again, this is referral-only, not a fee split.

3.5 Requirements to Earn a Referral Fee

No Referral Fee is owed unless ALL are true:

  • You are a Paid Member in good standing at referral, closing, and payment.
  • The referral is credited to you within internal CRM records.
  • The transaction is a Closed Deal and CRE Media receives the Origination Fee in cleared funds.
  • You did not violate any Terms or compliance rules.
  • You did not perform any activity requiring a license you do not possess.
  • You completed all KYC, tax, and payout requirements.

If the fee is not collected by CRE Media, no Referral Fee is owed.

3.6 Definition of a "Closed Deal"

A "Closed Deal" has occurred only when all of the following conditions have been met:

Executed Letter of Engagement

A fully executed Letter of Engagement (or equivalent approval or term sheet acknowledgment) issued by CRE Media III, LLC or any of its affiliates is on file and recorded in the internal systems of CRE Media III, LLC.

Funds Received by CRE Media III, LLC

The Origination Fee or other relevant compensation has been received in cleared funds into a bank account owned and controlled by CRE Media III, LLC.

Pending, anticipated, invoiced, or promised fees do not qualify.

Payment Sent by Lender or Investor

The lender, capital provider, or investor has actually disbursed the Origination Fee or other compensation to CRE Media III, LLC.

Funds must have fully settled and not be subject to recall, reversal, or dispute.

Deal Marked Closed in Rain.club System

The transaction has been formally marked as "Closed" in the Rain.club internal deal management system by authorized CRE Media personnel.

A deal is not considered closed—and no Referral Fee is earned—until every one of the above requirements has been fully satisfied.

3.7 Adjustments & Chargebacks

If any portion of the Origination Fee is refunded, disputed, reversed, or uncollected:

  • Your Referral Fee will be reduced proportionally;
