Conjunction Agreement

This is the standard Conjunction Agreement template generated for every BuyFinder listing. The specific property, parties, commission share and end date are filled in by the Originating Agent at the time of invitation and shown to the Conjuncting Agent before signature.

Sample template only. Every listing on BuyFinder produces an individualised, digitally signed version of this agreement.

1. Parties

This Conjunction Agreement is between:

Listing Agent ("Originating Agent"): the licensed real estate agent appointed by the vendor under an exclusive or open agency agreement to market the Property and accept buyer enquiries.

Conjuncting Agent: the licensed real estate agent invited by the Originating Agent through the BuyFinder platform to introduce qualified buyers from their own database to the Property in exchange for a share of the commission if their introduced buyer settles.

Both parties warrant that they hold a current and valid real estate agent licence in their relevant state or territory, are authorised to receive commission in that jurisdiction, and act within the scope of their licence at all times. The Originating Agent additionally warrants that their listing appointment expressly permits commission sharing or conjunction with another licensed agent.

2. The Property

The Property subject to this Agreement is the specific listing record created by the Originating Agent on BuyFinder. The Property address, vendor name, price guide, conjunction terms and end date are reproduced in full on the digital agreement presented for signature.

The Conjuncting Agent acknowledges they will not contact the vendor directly and will route all communications regarding buyer introductions, inspections, and offers through the Originating Agent and the BuyFinder platform.

3. Commission Share

Commission is only payable to the Conjuncting Agent if a buyer they introduce, register on BuyFinder, and disclose to the Originating Agent ultimately purchases the Property and settles.

  • The commission share offered by the Originating Agent is either:
  • • A percentage of the sale price (inclusive of GST), or
  • • A fixed dollar amount (inclusive of GST).

The exact value is set per invitation and shown on the digital agreement at the time of signing. The Originating Agent retains the balance of any commission earned from the vendor.

This entitlement applies regardless of whether settlement occurs via the original buyer, a nominee, a related entity, or under a substituted contract for the same Property — provided the introduced buyer was the effective cause of the transaction.

  • No commission is payable to the Conjuncting Agent if:
  • • The Conjuncting Agent's introduced buyer does not proceed to a binding contract and settlement;
  • • The buyer was already registered with the Originating Agent or another conjuncting agent on the Property before the Conjuncting Agent's registration on BuyFinder;
  • • The buyer was first introduced to the Property by the Conjuncting Agent after the conjunction End Date defined in clause 4.

Commission disputes are resolved between the parties directly. BuyFinder does not adjudicate, certify or guarantee any commission entitlement.

4. Duration and End Date

This Agreement commences on the date the Conjuncting Agent signs the digital agreement and ends on the End Date specified by the Originating Agent at the time of invitation (the "End Date").

  • After the End Date:
  • • The Conjuncting Agent may not introduce new buyers under this Agreement;
  • • Buyer registrations made before the End Date remain on record and remain eligible for commission under clause 3 if those buyers ultimately purchase the Property;
  • • Either party may continue communications already in progress at the End Date until settlement or withdrawal of the listing.

The End Date typically aligns with the end of the Originating Agent's exclusive appointment from the vendor.

5. Obligations of the Conjuncting Agent

  • The Conjuncting Agent agrees to:
  • • Only introduce buyers who are genuinely qualified, motivated, and able to purchase the Property;
  • • Register each introduced buyer on BuyFinder before the buyer inspects the Property or makes an offer, so that the introduction is timestamped and auditable;
  • • Co-ordinate inspections through the Originating Agent;
  • • Provide truthful, accurate information about the buyer's identity, contact details, financial capacity and existing relationships with other agents on the Property;
  • • Comply with all applicable real estate, privacy, anti-money-laundering and consumer protection laws;
  • • Not contact the vendor directly without the Originating Agent's written consent;
  • • Not represent themselves as the listing agent for the Property.

6. Obligations of the Originating Agent

  • The Originating Agent agrees to:
  • • Confirm or decline each buyer registration submitted by the Conjuncting Agent in a timely manner;
  • • Coordinate access to the Property for legitimate inspections of registered buyers;
  • • Disclose the conjunction arrangement to the vendor as required by their agency agreement;
  • • Pay the agreed commission share within a reasonable period after the Originating Agent's own commission is received from the vendor's solicitor or conveyancer following settlement;
  • • Maintain the listing on the BuyFinder platform for the duration of the conjunction.

7. Vendor Consent

  • The Originating Agent represents and warrants that they:
  • • Hold a valid agency appointment over the Property;
  • • Have the authority under their agency agreement (and have obtained any vendor consent required) to offer conjunction to other licensed agents on the terms set out in this Agreement;
  • • Will indemnify the Conjuncting Agent for any loss arising from a breach of this warranty, except to the extent caused by the Conjuncting Agent's own breach.

If the Originating Agent's agency appointment is terminated before settlement, this Agreement terminates immediately. Buyer registrations made before termination remain on record for evidentiary purposes only and the commission share under clause 3 is no longer payable from this Agreement (the buyer's introduction may, however, support a separate claim under the Originating Agent's terminated appointment).

8. Role of BuyFinder

  • BuyFinder provides the software platform on which this Agreement is generated, signed and recorded. BuyFinder:
  • • Is not a party to this Agreement;
  • • Does not act as agent, broker or representative for either party;
  • • Does not adjudicate commission entitlement or buyer introduction priority;
  • • Provides a timestamped audit log of buyer registrations, inspections and offers to assist the parties in resolving any dispute themselves.

Platform records — including invitation timestamps, buyer registration records, inspection bookings and buyer identity — are prima facie evidence of introduction facts unless manifestly incorrect. Either party may produce these records in dispute resolution proceedings.

Use of the BuyFinder platform is governed by BuyFinder's separate Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

9. Privacy and Data Handling

Each party must handle buyer personal information shared under this Agreement in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and any applicable state privacy legislation.

Buyer information may only be used for the purposes of this Agreement — that is, to facilitate the introduction, inspection, and potential sale of the Property to the introduced buyer. Neither party may use buyer information for any other purpose, including marketing to that buyer for other properties, without the buyer's separate consent.

Each party must implement reasonable security measures to protect shared buyer data and must not disclose it to third parties without the data subject's consent, except as required by law.

10. General

Notices: Notices under this Agreement may be given by email to the address on the signed agreement, or through the BuyFinder platform messaging system. A notice is deemed received on the day it is sent if sent before 5:00 pm on a business day in the recipient's state or territory, otherwise on the next business day.

Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, that provision is severed and the remainder of the Agreement continues in full force.

Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding conjunction for the Property and supersedes any prior oral or written understandings on the same subject matter.

Survival: Obligations relating to confidentiality, payment of commission, and dispute resolution survive expiry or termination of this Agreement.

11. Disputes

Any dispute arising under this Agreement is to be resolved between the Originating Agent and the Conjuncting Agent directly. The parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes in good faith using the activity log and buyer registration records produced by the BuyFinder platform as evidence of fact.

If the parties cannot reach a resolution, the dispute will be referred to mediation administered by the Resolution Institute (or successor body) before either party commences legal proceedings.

This Agreement is governed by the law of the state or territory in which the Property is located.

12. Electronic Signature

Both parties consent to executing this Agreement by electronic signature through the BuyFinder platform. The parties acknowledge that an electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under the Electronic Transactions Acts of each Australian state and territory.

The platform records the time, IP address and authenticated user identity of each signature and stores the signed agreement as a tamper-evident PDF available to both parties under their accounts.

Buyfinder Australia Pty Ltd is the operator of the BuyFinder platform. The Conjunction Agreement is between the Originating Agent and the Conjuncting Agent; BuyFinder is not a party to that contract.
