Notice of Non-Circumvention Covenant

Provided separately, before you accept anything.

Effective: on acceptance · Version: 2026-08 · Applies to: independent professionals

Why you are reading this on its own page

Colorado law (C.R.S. § 8-2-113(4)) requires that a covenant of this kind be given to you in a separate written notice, before or at the same time as the agreement containing it, and that the notice identify the covenant and state that it is enforceable. Burying it inside a longer agreement would make it unenforceable. So here it is, alone, in plain language.

You do not have to accept this to browse, to be listed, or to be paid for work you have already done. It is a condition of accepting introductions from Lumora.

What this is — and, more importantly, what it is not

This is NOT a non-compete. Nothing here restricts your right to:

• work anywhere, for anyone, at any time — during or after your time on Lumora;
• serve clients you already had, or clients you find yourself, by any means;
• list on, or move to, any competing platform;
• advertise, market, or build your own brand and client base;
• set your own prices, anywhere, including lower than on Lumora;
• leave Lumora at any time, for any reason, without notice or penalty.

This is a narrow non-circumvention covenant. It restricts exactly one thing: taking a client Lumora introduced to you off the platform for the purpose of avoiding the platform fee, within a limited window.

The covenant, in full

For twelve (12) months following the date Lumora first introduces a specific client to you, you agree not to arrange, invoice, or accept payment for services to that specific client outside the Lumora platform where the purpose or effect is to avoid the platform fee that would otherwise apply.

1. It applies only to clients Lumora introduced

An Introduced Client is a client whose first contact with you was created by Lumora — a match, a discovery result, or a booking request originating on Lumora rather than through your own link or audience. Every introduction is recorded on the booking record, so this is a matter of record, not of argument.

It does not apply to:

• anyone who was your client before Lumora introduced you to anything;
• anyone who found you through your own storefront link, your own marketing, your own social channels, or word of mouth;
• anyone Lumora did not introduce.

2. It expires after twelve months

Twelve months from the introduction of that particular client. After that, no restriction of any kind. There is no tail, no renewal, and no continuing obligation.

3. The only remedy is the fee itself

If this covenant is breached, the sole and exclusive remedy is payment of the platform fee that would have applied to the diverted booking. Lumora will not seek an injunction restraining you from working, will not seek to enjoin your relationship with any client, and will not seek damages beyond that fee. This is compensation for a fee avoided, not a penalty and not a restraint on your livelihood.

4. It applies only where and to the extent the law allows

This covenant applies only:

• to the extent it is enforceable under the law of the state in which you primarily work; and
• where your annualised earnings meet or exceed the threshold that state requires for a covenant of this type to be enforceable (in Colorado, the customer-non-solicitation threshold under C.R.S. § 8-2-113(2)(b), as adjusted annually by the Division of Labor Standards and Statistics).

If either condition is not met, this covenant does not apply to you at all.

Severability and narrowest reading

If any part of this covenant is held unenforceable, it shall be narrowed to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable, and if it cannot be narrowed it shall be severed entirely, leaving the remainder of your agreement with Lumora in force. Nothing in this notice shall be read to restrict any right you have that cannot lawfully be restricted.

Why we do it this way

We would rather earn your loyalty than compel it. The honest reason a professional takes a client off a platform is that the platform costs too much for a client the platform did not bring — so the substantive answer is our pricing, not this page: bookings from your own audience carry a reduced fee, and none at all on Luminary Pro. This covenant exists only for the narrow case of a client we brought you and then paid to bring you.

You remain an independent professional in business for yourself. Nothing in this notice gives Lumora control over how, when, where, or for whom you work.
