Thoughtful Design Begins with Trusted Introductions

Know someone planning a renovation, new home, or kitchen or bathroom project? Introduce them to Blu Ink Interiors and let us take it from there.

Our Referral Program is designed to recognize trusted professionals, past clients, and friends who introduce new clients to Blu Ink Interiors. Qualifying referrals may earn 5% on eligible design, decorating, and styling fees and 2% on qualifying kitchen and bathroom cabinetry sales.

A qualifying referral requires a completed referral form and a warm introduction to Blu Ink Interiors. Referral fees apply to the client’s initial project and are paid after eligible fees or cabinetry sales have been fully collected and all program requirements have been met.

Make an introduction. We’ll take care of the rest.

Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 9.29.2026

The Blu Ink Interiors Referral Program (the “Program”) is designed to recognize individuals and businesses who introduce new clients to Blu Ink Interiors LLC (“Blu Ink”).

Participation in the Program is subject to the following Terms & Conditions.

1. Referral Fees

For a qualifying referral that results in a successful initial engagement with Blu Ink, the Referrer may earn:

5% of Design, Decorating and Styling Fees
Referral Fees are calculated on professional design, decorating and styling fees actually collected by Blu Ink.

2% of Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinetry Sales
Referral Fees are calculated on qualifying kitchen and bathroom cabinetry sales actually collected by Blu Ink.

Referral Fees are calculated separately for each eligible component of the initial project.

2. Items Not Eligible for Referral Fees

Referral Fees do not apply to:

Countertops;
Furniture;
Decorative hardware;
Fixtures;
Accessories;
Appliances;
Other products purchased for resale;
Freight, shipping or delivery charges;
Storage charges;
Sales or other applicable taxes;
Reimbursable or pass-through costs and expenses;
Installation services;
General contractor or subcontractor services;
Construction or remodeling labor; or
Services or products contracted or purchased directly between the client and third parties.

Only qualifying Design, Decorating and Styling Fees and qualifying Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinetry Sales are eligible for Referral Fees.

3. New Clients Only

The Program applies exclusively to prospective clients who are entirely new to Blu Ink.

A referral is not eligible if the prospective client has previously been a Blu Ink client or appears in Blu Ink's records as a prior prospect, inquiry, referral or lead, whether active or inactive.

A dormant or inactive lead does not become eligible for the Program merely because a new person subsequently refers that individual or entity.

Blu Ink will verify each referral against its records before confirming eligibility.

4. How to Make a Qualifying Referral

A qualifying referral requires completion of both of the following steps:

Step 1 — Submit the Referral Form

The Referrer must complete and submit the Referral Form available through the Blu Ink website, including the requested Referrer information and prospective client information.

Step 2 — Make a Warm Introduction

The Referrer must also make a direct introduction by email connecting the prospective client with Blu Ink and/or Juanita Sierra.

Both the prospective client and Blu Ink and/or Juanita Sierra must be included in the introduction email.

Simply providing Blu Ink with a prospective client's name, telephone number, email address or other contact information does not constitute a qualifying referral.

Submission of the Referral Form without the required warm introduction, or a warm introduction without submission of the Referral Form, does not complete the referral process.

5. Effective Referral Date

The Effective Referral Date is the later of:

The date the Referral Form is submitted through the Blu Ink website; or
The date the required warm introduction email is sent.

The Effective Referral Date will be used for referral tracking, determining priority between multiple Referrers, and determining the applicable conversion period.

6. Multiple Referrals of the Same Prospective Client

If more than one person attempts to refer the same prospective client, eligibility will be assigned to the first Referrer who completes both required referral steps, based on the Effective Referral Date and subject to Blu Ink's verification that the prospective client otherwise qualifies under the Program.

Blu Ink's records will control in determining referral priority and eligibility.

7. Referral Verification

Submission of a Referral Form and completion of a warm introduction do not automatically establish eligibility for a Referral Fee.

Blu Ink will review its records to determine whether the prospective client qualifies as a new client under the Program.

Blu Ink may confirm acceptance or rejection of the referral after completing this verification.

8. Prospective Client Consent

By submitting a referral, the Referrer represents and confirms that the prospective client is aware of and has consented to:

The introduction to Blu Ink;
The Referrer providing the prospective client's contact information to Blu Ink; and
Blu Ink contacting the prospective client in connection with the referral.

The Referral Form may require the Referrer to affirm this consent before submission.

9. Conversion Period

A qualifying prospective client must enter into an eligible engagement with Blu Ink within twelve (12) months of the Effective Referral Date.

If the prospective client does not become a Blu Ink client within that period, the referral expires and no Referral Fee will be earned.

10. Initial Project Only

Referral Fees apply only to the referred client's initial project with Blu Ink.

Eligible Design, Decorating and Styling Fees and Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinetry Sales added or expanded as part of the same initial project may qualify for Referral Fees, even if those components are contracted or purchased at different stages of the project.

Once the initial project has been completed or closed, the referral relationship for that client ends for purposes of Referral Fee eligibility.

No Referral Fee is earned on subsequent projects, repeat engagements, future purchases or other future business from the same client.

11. Successful Referral and Full Collection Requirement

The Program rewards successful introductions that result in completed and fully paid eligible engagements.

A Referral Fee is not earned unless and until Blu Ink has received full payment from the referred client for the applicable eligible component.

Referral Fees are not earned or paid proportionately as client payments, deposits, progress payments or installments are received.

If an eligible engagement, service or cabinetry order is cancelled, abandoned, refunded, charged back, credited, or otherwise not paid in full, no Referral Fee is earned or owed with respect to that component.

The Referral Fee will be calculated using the final eligible amount actually collected by Blu Ink.

12. Separate Payment by Eligible Component

Design, Decorating and Styling Fees and Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinetry Sales are treated as separate eligible components for Referral Fee purposes.

Accordingly, a Referral Fee for a fully paid Design, Decorating or Styling engagement may become payable even if a potential cabinetry sale has not yet occurred or been completed.

Similarly, a qualifying cabinetry Referral Fee will become payable only after the applicable cabinetry order has been fully paid.

This allows each eligible component to qualify independently while maintaining Blu Ink's full-collection requirement.

13. Payment Timing

Once a Referral Fee has been earned in accordance with these Terms & Conditions and all required tax documentation has been received and accepted by Blu Ink, payment will generally be made within thirty (30) days.

Blu Ink will not advance, finance or make partial payments of Referral Fees.

14. Tax Documentation and Reporting

Before any Referral Fee may be paid, Blu Ink must have received a properly completed and valid IRS Form W-9 from the Referrer.

No Referral Fee will be paid without a valid Form W-9 on file.

The name and taxpayer identification information provided for payment must correspond with the information provided on the applicable Form W-9.

Blu Ink will report Referral Fee payments to applicable taxing authorities and issue any required information returns, including Form 1099-NEC where applicable, in accordance with then-current federal, state and local law.

The Referrer is solely responsible for reporting Referral Fees received and for payment of any federal, state, local or other taxes applicable to such compensation.

15. U.S. Persons and Entities Only

The paid Referral Program is currently available only to U.S. persons and entities eligible to provide Blu Ink with a valid IRS Form W-9.

Blu Ink does not currently make Referral Fee payments to foreign persons or entities requiring Form W-8, Form 8233, foreign-person withholding, Form 1042 or Form 1042-S reporting, treaty-based withholding determinations, or similar international tax administration.

A referral from a person or entity that does not qualify to provide a valid Form W-9 may be welcomed by Blu Ink but will not be eligible for a Referral Fee under this Program.

16. Referrer's Role Is Limited to the Introduction

The Referrer's role under this Program is limited to making the qualifying introduction.

The Referrer is not responsible for selling Blu Ink's services or products and is not authorized to:

Quote or establish Blu Ink pricing;
Prepare proposals on behalf of Blu Ink;
Negotiate pricing or contract terms;
Offer discounts or incentives;
Make representations, promises or warranties on behalf of Blu Ink;
Provide design advice or recommendations on behalf of Blu Ink;
Collect deposits or other payments;
Enter into agreements on behalf of Blu Ink; or
Otherwise represent or bind Blu Ink in any manner.

Blu Ink and Juanita Sierra retain sole responsibility for client qualification, consultations, proposals, design services, pricing, product recommendations, sales, upselling, negotiation and closing.

Once the qualifying introduction has been made, no additional sales activity or services are required from the Referrer to earn a Referral Fee.

17. Independent Relationship

Participation in the Program does not create an employment, agency, brokerage, sales representative, joint venture, fiduciary or partnership relationship between Blu Ink and the Referrer.

The Referrer acts independently and has no authority to act for, represent, obligate or bind Blu Ink.

Participation in the Program does not entitle the Referrer to wages, employee benefits, expense reimbursement or any other compensation except Referral Fees specifically earned under these Terms & Conditions.

There is no obligation to make referrals, no minimum referral requirement, and no guarantee that any referral will result in compensation.

18. Realtors, Licensed Professionals, Employees and Other Referrers

Each Referrer is responsible for determining whether the Referrer is legally and professionally permitted to participate in the Program and accept a Referral Fee.

This includes compliance with any applicable:

Laws and regulations;
Professional licensing requirements;
Professional or ethical standards;
Brokerage policies;
Employer policies;
Independent contractor agreements;
Client agreements; and
Disclosure or consent requirements.

A Realtor, real estate licensee, vendor representative, employee, licensed professional or other Referrer must obtain any approval required by their brokerage, employer, professional organization or other governing party before accepting a Referral Fee.

The Referrer is also solely responsible for making any disclosure to the prospective client or other party required because the Referrer may receive a financial benefit from the introduction.

Participation in this Program does not constitute a representation by Blu Ink that a particular Referrer is legally or professionally permitted to accept a Referral Fee.

19. No Referral of Real Estate Brokerage or Settlement Services

The Program compensates qualifying introductions of prospective clients for Blu Ink's interior design, decorating, styling and qualifying cabinetry services and products.

Referral Fees under this Program are not offered or paid for the referral of real estate brokerage business, buyers, sellers, mortgage services, title services, settlement services or other services for which referral compensation is prohibited or restricted by applicable law.

20. Program Administration

Blu Ink reserves the right to verify referral information and determine whether the requirements of the Program have been satisfied based on its business records.

Blu Ink may reject referrals that are incomplete, duplicative, previously known to Blu Ink, inconsistent with these Terms & Conditions, or otherwise ineligible under the Program.

Blu Ink may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify eligibility or process a Referral Fee.

21. Changes to or Termination of the Program

Blu Ink may modify, suspend or discontinue the Referral Program or these Terms & Conditions at any time.

Any modification will apply prospectively and will not eliminate a Referral Fee already earned under the Terms & Conditions applicable to an accepted referral at the time it was made.

The Terms & Conditions in effect on the Effective Referral Date will govern that referral unless otherwise required by law.

22. Acceptance of Terms

By submitting the Blu Ink Referral Form, the Referrer acknowledges that the Referrer has read, understood and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.

Submission of a referral does not guarantee acceptance of the referral or payment of a Referral Fee.

Referral Fees are earned only when all applicable requirements described in these Terms & Conditions have been satisfied.
