Effective Date: 5.4.2026

 

Welcome to 1099workers.com, operated by 1099 Workers LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using our website or any service we provide (the “Service”), or by enrolling in any benefit plan offered through us, you agree to these Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

 

Please read Sections 5, 8, 16, 17 and 25 carefully. They affect your legal rights, including how disputes are resolved and the limits of our liability.

 

  1. General Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your access to and use of the Service.

 

These Terms supersede all prior agreements and conversations you may have had with us or third parties. We are not bound by any verbal or written statements made by third parties, including insurance brokers, agents or other third-party advisors.

 

  1. Use of Website

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You may not use the Service in any way that could damage, disable, impair, or interfere with the platform. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice. We will give you reasonable notice of material changes when feasible, but we are not required to provide advance notice.

 

  1. Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and credentials. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use.

 

  1. Eligibility and Enrollment

Certain products, services, or benefit plans offered through the Service may require you to meet specific eligibility criteria, including but not limited to:

  • Verification of independent contractor or 1099 status;
  • Completion of all enrollment forms and onboarding requirements;
  • Acceptance by the relevant insurance carrier or PEO; and
  • Participation in a group plan.

We may approve, deny, or terminate enrollment at our sole discretion, subject to applicable law and subject to the requirements of the Plan Documents (defined below) and any applicable Professional Employer Organizations (“PEO”) or carrier rules.

 

  1. Benefit Plans, Pricing, and Availability

We partner with PEOs, insurance carriers, and other third parties to offer you access to benefit plans.

While we are committed to helping our members access benefit plans, we are not the insurance provider. We do not underwrite, issue, or pay claims on any insurance policy.

 

Plan Documents

All benefits, network inclusions, claims decisions, and coverage approvals are strictly subject to the terms, conditions, and official plan documents, certificates of coverage, Summary Plan Descriptions (“SPD”), Summary of Benefits and Coverage, and insurance policies issued by the carrier (“Plan Documents”). These Terms are not a Plan Document and are not a SPD.

 

Claims for benefits and any appeals are governed exclusively by the Plan Documents and ERISA, not by these Terms. The Plan Documents describe the procedures for filing a claim, appealing a denial, and pursuing legal action. Nothing in these Terms shortens, limits, or modifies your rights under ERISA. If anything in these Terms conflicts with the Plan Documents, the Plan Documents control.

 

You may request a copy of the applicable SPD and Plan Documents at any time at no cost. We will provide them within 30 days.

 

Group Pricing and Minimum Enrollment

To qualify for group-based pricing and benefits, insurance carriers, PEOs, third-party providers, or partners may require us to enroll a minimum number of participants, and they may also require us to maintain that minimum enrollment threshold throughout the plan year.

 

If we do not meet the minimum enrollment threshold at the beginning of the plan year or if participation drops below the required threshold mid-year, then pricing may be adjusted, benefits may be modified, and/or plans may be discontinued or migrated to alternative options. These changes may occur with little or no prior notice.

 

Availability

By enrolling in or accessing the Service, you acknowledge and agree that your access to the plans, carriers, networks, pricing, benefits, coverage, and features offered through the Service:

  • Are subject to approval by the PEO, the insurance carrier, and any underwriter;
  • Are not guaranteed for any specific length of time;
  • May change at any time, including in the middle of a plan year, with little or no advance notice;
  • Depend on the PEO and carriers continuing their relationship with us; and
  • Depend on our meeting any minimum participation, contribution, or underwriting requirements they set.

 

This means that if our PEO modifies or terminates its agreement with us, if a carrier does not renew or terminates a policy, if a minimum participation threshold is not met or minimum participation drops, or if regulations change, your benefits and related pricing may change or end. You agree that the Company is not responsible for the impact of changes initiated or required by insurance carriers, PEOs, third-party providers, or partners, and the Company has no obligation to provide replacement coverage if such changes occur.

 

Mid-Year Transitions and Deductibles

If a plan or benefit is revised, terminated or migrated to a new carrier mid-year, amounts you have already paid toward deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums may reset to zero. We are not responsible for, and will not reimburse you for, loss of amounts credited toward deductibles, costs for replacement coverage, increased premiums, out-of-pocket medical expenses, or changes in your provider’s network status.

 

Continuation of Coverage (COBRA)

 

 

 

 

  1. Independent Brokers and Advisors

You may choose to work with an independent insurance broker, agent, or advisor (collectively, “Brokers”) to help you select a plan or certain benefits.

 

You acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • Brokers are independent third parties. They are not our employees, partners, or legal representatives, and they have no authority to bind the Company to any agreement, guarantee, or promise.
  • We are not responsible or liable for any advice, statement, guarantee, or information provided by a Broker, even if we introduced you to the Broker. If a Broker provides inaccurate information regarding plan premiums, network coverage, deductibles, or eligibility, we are not financially or legally liable for such information or their errors or omissions.
  • If any verbal or written statement made by a Broker conflicts with the Plan Documents, the Plan Documents strictly govern. You agree that we are not liable for any advice, statements, promises, assurances, or interpretations made by a Broker that are not expressly contained within the carrier’s official plan materials.

 

  1. Payments and Billing

By enrolling in any paid service:

  • You agree to pay all applicable fees presented at the time of enrollment, plus any applicable taxes.
  • Payments may be recurring (monthly or otherwise) unless stated otherwise.
  • You authorize us or our partners to charge your selected payment method.

 

Accepted Forms of Payment

  • Credit/Debit Cards
  • ACH/Bank Transfers
  • Other approved payment methods as made available

If your payment fails or is late, we may suspend or terminate the Services immediately.

 

  1. No Refund

In general, payments are non-refundable. This includes amounts paid for partial use of the Services, dissatisfaction, or voluntary cancellation.

  1. Privacy

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect and use your information.

 

The Company does not receive your medical or health information. Your health information (including medical records, claims, diagnoses, prescriptions, and Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements) flows directly between you, the insurance carrier, and the PEO. The only benefits-related information the Company receives is whether you are enrolled, your coverage tier, and your payroll-deduction amount.

All content on the platform or otherwise provided in relation to the Service, including text, graphics, logos, designs, materials, presentations, and software, is owned by or licensed to the Company and protected under intellectual property laws.

 

You may not copy, modify, reproduce, or distribute any of our content without our prior written consent.

 

  1. Feedback

Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas that you submit to us:

  • Are voluntary and non-confidential, and
  • May be used by us in any way, without restriction, and you are not owed any compensation.

 

  1. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”

 

We do not promise or guarantee that:

  • The platform will always be error-free or available for your use,
  • Plans, benefits, or Services will be available,
  • Carriers will approve your coverage or pay your medical claims, or
  • Specific outcomes or benefits will be provided.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

 

  1. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

 

The Company is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages including (without limitation) loss of data, income, business, or benefits; loss of amounts paid toward a deductible or out-of-pocket maximum; or unexpected medical bills.

 

The Company’s total maximum liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) $500 or (b) the total Service Fees paid by you to the Company during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

 

For purposes of this limitation of liability, “Service Fees” means only the platform, membership, administrative, or technology fees you paid to the Company for access to and use of the Service. Service fees do not include, and the cap is not increased by:

  • Insurance premiums or premium-equivalent amounts;
  • Employee or employer contributions toward any benefit plan;
  • Co-pays, deductibles, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket medical expenses;
  • Amounts paid to or collected on behalf of any insurance carrier, PEO, broker, or third-party provider; or
  • Any other pass-through amounts.

 

These exclusions and limitations apply to all claims, regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, statute, or otherwise), and apply even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by applicable law.

 

  1. Indemnification

YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS HARMLESS from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of:

  • Your breach of these Terms;
  • Your misuse of the Service;
  • Your violation of law; or
  • Your violation of any third party’s rights.

 

This indemnification does not require you to indemnify the Company for the Company’s own negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms.

 

  1. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God; pandemic, epidemic, or public health emergency; war; terrorism; civil unrest; labor disputes; supplier or carrier failure; PEO termination or non-renewal; carrier insolvency or non-renewal; cyberattack; internet or utility outage; or government action. Force majeure does not excuse your obligation to make payments for Services already rendered.

 

  1. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect. If you continue to use the Service after the effective date of the new Terms, you accept them. If you do not agree to the new Terms, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service.

 

  1. International Use

The Service is operated from the United States and may not be suitable or available in all jurisdictions.

 

  1. Accessibility

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without prior written consent from the Company’s authorized executive representative (for example, the Company’s CEO, CTO, COO). These Terms are for the sole benefit of you and the Company. No third party shall have any rights, interests, or claims under these Terms, nor is any third party intended to be a beneficiary of these Terms.

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

 

Except for disputes subject to arbitration under the Dispute Resolution section below, you and the Company agree that any lawsuit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas.

 

You and the Company consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be filed within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action accrued. Claims not filed within that period are permanently barred.

You and the Company agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org).

Before starting arbitration, you must first send written notice of the dispute to the email address in the Contact Information section, and the parties will have 60 days to try to resolve it informally. This Section does not apply to: (a) claims for benefits under an ERISA-governed plan; (b) small claims court actions; (c) claims for injunctive relief related to intellectual property or unauthorized use of the Service; or (d) any dispute that cannot be required to be arbitrated under applicable law.
