Policies and Procedures

INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENT

I hereby apply to become an affiliate or independent representative of the marketing program.

As an independent representative, I understand and agree that:

1.  I am of legal age in the state in which I enter this agreement.

2.  I shall become an independent representative upon acceptance of this application.  As an independent representative, I shall have the right to sell the services and/or products offered in accordance with the marketing program and statement of policy, which may be amended and changed from time to time.

3.  Upon notification to independent representatives all amendments to the marketing plan, statement of policy, etc. will be incorporated with this agreement.

4.  I have carefully reviewed the marketing plan, rules and regulations, and policies and procedures, and acknowledge that they are incorporated as part of this agreement in their present form and may be modified from time to time.

5. The term of the independent representative agreement is one year.  Independent representatives must apply to renew their independent representative agreement annually.

6. An independent representative shall be entitled to cancel participation in the marketing program at any time and for any reason. Upon notification of cancellation or termination, the sponsoring independent representative will repurchase inventory and/or mandatory sales kit materials, if applicable, in accordance with its policies as stated in the marketing program and statement of policy.

7. Upon acceptance of this application I will be an independent contractor responsible for my own business and not an employee.  I will not be treated as an employee in regard to any laws covering employees, including but not limited to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, the Social Security Act, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, income tax withholding at source or for any federal or state tax laws.  It is my responsibility to pay self‑employment, state and federal income taxes as required by law.

8. I will not use any trade name and/or trademark except in the advertising provided to me, if applicable, or in other advertising without prior written approval.

9. Any independent representative, who sponsors other independent representatives, must fulfill the obligation of performing a bona fide supervisory, distributing and selling function in the sale or delivery of product and/or service to the ultimate consumer and in the training of those sponsored.  Independent representatives must have ongoing contact, communication and management supervision with his or her sales organization.  Examples of such supervision may include, but are not limited to:  newsletters, written correspondence, personal meetings, telephone contact, voice mail, electronic mail, training sessions, directing individuals to training and sharing genealogy information with those sponsored.  Independent representatives should be able to provide evidence annually of ongoing fulfillment of sponsor responsibilities.

10. The program is built upon retail sales to the ultimate consumer.  It is also recognized that independent representatives may wish to purchase product and/or services in reasonable amounts for their own personal or family use.  For this reason, a retail sale for bonus purposes shall include sales to nonparticipants as well as sales to independent representatives for personal or family use which are not made for purposes of qualification or advancement.  The policy, however, is to strictly prohibit the purchase of product or large quantities of inventory in unreasonable amounts solely for the purpose of qualifying for bonuses or advancement in the marketing program.  Independent representatives may not inventory load nor encourage others in the program to load up on inventory.  Independent representatives must fulfill published personal and downline retail sales requirements, as well as supervisory responsibilities, to qualify for bonuses, overrides or advancements.

11. The Independent representative acknowledges that independent representative is a wholly independent marketing representative who establishes and services retail customers as an independent contractor. The position of independent representative does not constitute either a sale of a franchise or a distributorship, and absolutely no fees have been or will be required from the representative for the right to distribute products and/or services pursuant to this agreement.  This agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create a relationship of employer‑employee, agency, partnership, or joint venture.

As an independent contractor, the independent representative shall:

A. Abide by any and all federal, state, county and local laws, rules and regulations pertaining to this agreement and/or the acquisition, receipt, holding, selling, distributing or advertising of products and/or services.

B. At the independent representative’s own expense, make, execute or file all such reports and obtain such licenses as are required by law or public authority with respect to this agreement and/or the receipt, holding, selling, distributing or advertising products and/or services.

C. Be solely responsible for declaration and payment of all local, state and federal taxes as may accrue because of the independent representative’s activities in connection with this agreement.

12. No purchase or investment is necessary to become an independent representative other than the purchase of an independent representative sales kit, if applicable, which is sold “at cost.”  (Purchase is optional in North Dakota.)

13. Prior written approval is required for the following:

A. To advertise products and/or services;

B. For there to be more than one independent representative in an immediate family, household or business;

C. Issuance of a position in a corporate name.

14. Independent representative may be immediately terminated if the independent representative discredits or violates any requirement contained in this Agreement,  Policy and Procedures, or training manuals or misrepresents the products and/or services along with the opportunity by making claims contrary to the applicable product and/or service literature and labels.

15. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement for the independent representative and no other additional promises, representations, guaranties or agreements of any kind shall be valid unless in writing.

16. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state to be determined by the website owner, and all claims, disputes and other matters between the parties of this agreement shall be brought in the County Court or U.S. District Court where deemed necessary.

17. I acknowledge that I have read and understand and agree to the terms set forth in this agreement.

18. This agreement is not in force until accepted.
