This Joint Venture Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between the submitting party ("Partner") and The Unexa Group, LLC ("Unexa"), a California-based surplus recovery firm. This Agreement governs the terms under which both parties collaborate on a specific surplus recovery opportunity submitted through jvwithalfred.com. By electronically submitting a deal and acknowledging this Agreement, the Partner agrees to be legally bound by the terms below.

This Agreement establishes a deal-specific joint venture for the purpose of recovering surplus funds on behalf of a qualifying claimant. The Partner's role is to identify and introduce eligible surplus recovery opportunities. Unexa's role is to manage all operational, legal, and administrative functions required to recover those funds through completion.

2. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Partner Responsibilities

•        Identify surplus recovery opportunities and introduce qualified claimants to Unexa.

•        Maintain professional communication with homeowners/claimants as needed.

•        Provide accurate deal information at the time of submission.

•        Refrain from independently negotiating, filing, or processing any aspect of the deal once submitted.

Unexa Responsibilities

•        Handle all legal filings, court proceedings, attorney coordination, and fund disbursement.

•        Provide deal status updates to the Partner at appropriate milestones.

•        Distribute the Partner's share of recovered funds in a timely manner following receipt.

•        Maintain all internal systems, processes, and proprietary workflows used to process deals.

3. PROFIT SPLIT STRUCTURE

Net proceeds are calculated after the representing attorney's contingency fee (typically 10-30% depending on jurisdiction) and any verified, documented out-of-pocket expenses have been deducted. The remaining net amount is then split according to the applicable tier below.

Tier 1 — Standard Partner (Default)

Applies to all Partners who are not verified members of the Surplus Funds Collective paid VIP Community.

Tier 2 — Private VIP Community Member

Applies to Partners who are active, verified members of the Surplus Funds Collective Private Community (hosted on Skool). Membership is verified by the Unexa team prior to deal processing. Self-reported membership will be cross-referenced against active member records. Misrepresentation of membership status voids Tier 2 or Tier 3 eligibility for that deal.

Deal 1 and Deal 2 (First two completed deals as a VIP member):

Deal 3 and beyond (Upon successful completion of two verified VIP deals):

Deal counting for VIP tier advancement is tracked internally by Unexa and is based on fully completed, funded deals only. Deals that are withdrawn, dismissed, or result in no recovery do not count toward tier advancement.

4. SETTLEMENT AND BUYOUT RIGHTS

Unexa reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to negotiate a direct settlement or buyout of any submitted claim at any stage of the recovery process. In the event of a settlement or buyout:

•        The Partner will receive their applicable percentage based on the net contingency fee earned on the recovery amount once the recovery is complete.

•        Unexa is not obligated to pay any additional share, bonus, or consideration beyond the Partner's calculated split of the contingency fee.

•        Unexa will notify the Partner of the settlement outcome and the resulting distribution amount.

•        The Partner's acceptance of this Agreement constitutes pre-authorization for Unexa to settle or buy out any deal submitted under these terms.

This Agreement applies solely to the individual deal submitted at the time of acknowledgement. Each future deal submission requires a separate acknowledgement of this Agreement. Once a deal is submitted and acknowledged, this Agreement remains in effect through the full completion of that deal, including fund disbursement, unless modified in writing by both parties.

The Partner agrees to maintain strict confidentiality with respect to all non-public information shared by Unexa in connection with any submitted deal, including but not limited to operational processes, legal strategies, client data, and deal outcomes. Unexa is not required to disclose proprietary systems, internal workflows, trade secrets, or attorney-client privileged communications to the Partner at any time.

•        The Partner shall not share deal-specific information with third parties without Unexa's prior written consent.

•        Confidentiality obligations survive the completion or termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

Once a deal has been submitted under this Agreement, the Partner agrees not to independently contact courts, attorneys, claimants, or any government entity regarding the submitted deal without Unexa's prior written authorization. Any unauthorized independent action may result in immediate termination of the Partner's rights under this Agreement and forfeiture of any unpaid distributions for that deal.

By submitting a deal, the Partner represents and warrants that:

•        They have the legal right to refer the opportunity and have not entered into a conflicting agreement with another party regarding the same claim.

•        All information submitted is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge.

•        The claimant has not entered into any agreement with any other party for the recovery of surplus funds

•        They are of legal age and have the authority to enter into this Agreement.

•        Their membership tier status (if claiming VIP status) is accurately represented.

Unexa makes no guarantee regarding the outcome of any submitted deal. Surplus recovery is subject to court approval, legal timelines, and factors outside of Unexa's control. The Partner acknowledges that deals may be denied, dismissed, or result in partial or no recovery. Unexa's liability to the Partner is limited solely to the Partner's proportional share of funds actually recovered and received by Unexa.

Either party may terminate this Agreement with respect to any unprocessed deal by providing written notice. Once a deal has been submitted and active processing has begun, termination by the Partner does not entitle the Partner to any compensation unless funds have already been disbursed or are in active disbursement. Unexa reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and remove a Partner's deal from processing if fraudulent information, misrepresentation, or unauthorized independent action is discovered.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes arising under this Agreement shall first be submitted to good-faith mediation between the parties. If mediation fails to resolve the dispute within 30 days of initiation, either party may pursue binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties. Unexa reserves the right to update the standard terms of this Agreement for future deals. Partners will be presented with the current version of this Agreement at the time of each new deal submission.
