8. Fees and Payments

Handyman Coop may charge listing fees, lead fees, subscription fees, referral fees, commission-based fees, promotional fees, or other marketplace fees as disclosed on the platform or in a separate written schedule. We may modify pricing, fee models, and participation requirements at any time.
