Can I work directly with a client Go Fractional introduced me to?
Last updated: October 10, 2026
Any work with a client Go Fractional introduced should run through Go Fractional, during your agreement and for 12 months after it ends, unless Go Fractional agrees in writing first or the client pays a recruiting fee to hire you full-time. This is Section 10 of the Talent Terms of Service.
Your own relationships stay yours
These rules only cover companies Go Fractional introduced to you. Clients and relationships you bring independently aren't restricted, even if those companies also happen to be clients or prospective clients of Go Fractional. There is no exclusivity either: you're always free to find and run fractional work on your own outside the platform.
What you agree not to do
While your agreement is active and for 12 months after it ends:
- Don't divert clients we introduced. Don't solicit clients or prospective clients that Go Fractional introduced to you in order to move their business away from Go Fractional.
- Don't go around us. Don't do business with a client we introduced in a way that's meant to get around your agreement or the client's agreement with us, unless Go Fractional agrees in writing first.
- Don't recruit away our team. Don't solicit or hire Go Fractional's employees or consultants.
You also agree not to disparage Go Fractional, its services, or its people, during your agreement and afterward.
What happens if someone breaks these commitments?
The Talent Terms set agreed damages of $40,000 or 20% of your estimated first-year annualized compensation, whichever is higher, for each breach. This applies to every commitment in Section 10.
The exception: a client wants to hire you full-time
The agreed damages don't apply when a client has agreed in writing to pay Go Fractional a recruiting fee to hire you full-time. So if a client wants to bring you on permanently, just tell us and we'll set it up the right way.
