Upcoming Update: Simplifying and Strengthening EPO Management

MyPaintBuckets, LLC
Customer Notice
Date: May 12, 2026
Subject: Upcoming Update: Simplifying and Strengthening EPO Management

Overview

We’re rolling out an update to how Extra Purchase Orders (EPOs) are handled in MyPaintBuckets.

This change is focused on one thing: helping you capture more revenue with less effort while improving how EPOs are documented, structured, and managed within your workflow.

What’s Changing

An EPO Service Fee will be applied to certain EPOs managed through the MyPaintBuckets platform.

The fee is defined as:

The greater of:
• 2.5% of the approved EPO value
• $5 per approved EPO

The fee applies only to EPOs that are:
• Documented within MyPaintBuckets
• Marked as “approved” within the platform by a user or party designated with approval authority for that project

Why This Exists

EPOs are one of the most common areas where revenue is lost due to:

Incomplete documentation
Misalignment with builder requirements
Approval delays
Inconsistent tracking and follow-up

MyPaintBuckets is designed to improve how EPOs are handled by:

Structuring EPOs consistently from the start
Capturing supporting documentation such as notes and photos
Providing a centralized record of scope and communication
Creating a clearer, more organized workflow for submission and tracking

This fee is directly tied to the use of those capabilities within the platform.

Simple Example

EPO Total: $200
2.5% Fee: $5
Minimum Fee Applies: $5
Total Fee: $5

How Billing Works

• Fees are calculated based on approved EPOs within the platform
• Fees are aggregated and billed monthly
• Charges are processed automatically using the payment method on file
• Monthly statements are provided and include itemized EPO-level detail

By continuing to use MyPaintBuckets after the effective date, you agree to the application of EPO Service Fees as described above. These fees are also governed by MyPaintBuckets’ Terms of Service and any applicable service agreements.

Important Notes

MyPaintBuckets provides tools to improve documentation, organization, and workflow efficiency related to EPOs. MyPaintBuckets does not guarantee payment of any EPO.

If an EPO is later voided, rejected, credited, or materially reduced, a corresponding adjustment may be applied in a future billing cycle.

Any billing questions or disputes must be submitted within a reasonable period following statement issuance, as defined in our Terms of Service.

What You Can Expect

Reduced administrative effort managing EPOs
More consistent and structured EPO submissions
Clearer documentation and tracking across projects
Improved operational efficiency in handling change work

When This Goes Into Effect

Effective Date: July 4, 2026

We’re continuing to build MyPaintBuckets around one goal: helping you operate cleaner, faster, and more efficiently across every job.

If you have questions, reach out and we’ll walk through it with you.

Warmly,

MyPaintBuckets Team
