1.2 Code of Ethics

  1. Pruvit desires to provide its independent Affiliates with the best products and services and Compensation Plan in the industry. Accordingly, Pruvit values constructive criticism and encourages the submission of written comments addressed to Pruvit’s Compliance Department.
  2. Affiliate’s negative and disparaging comments about Pruvit, its products, these Policies, or Compensation Plan, made to Pruvit, or to the field or at any Pruvit meeting and/or event, or disruptive behavior at any meeting and/or event, serve no purpose other than to dampen the enthusiasm of other Promoters, Affiliates, and Customers. Pruvit Affiliates must not belittle Pruvit, fellow Pruvit Promoters or Affiliates, Pruvit products or services, the Compensation Plan, or any and all Pruvit directors, officers, or employees, product suppliers, or agents. Such conduct represents a material breach of these Policies and Procedures and may result in suspension or termination of the offending Affiliate’s Account.
  3. Pruvit endorses the following code of ethics:
    1. A Pruvit Affiliate must show fairness, tolerance, and respect to all people associated with Pruvit, regardless of race, gender, social class, or religion, thereby fostering a “positive atmosphere” of teamwork, good morale, and community spirit.
    2. An Affiliate shall strive to resolve business disputes, including conflicts or disagreements with Upline and/or downline Organization Affiliates with tact, sensitivity, and goodwill; and taking care not to create additional conflict.
    3. Pruvit Affiliates must be honest, responsible, professional, and conduct themselves with integrity.
    4. Pruvit Affiliates shall not make disparaging statements about Pruvit, other Affiliates or Promoters, Pruvit employees, product suppliers or agents, products, services, sales and marketing campaigns, or the Compensation Plan.
    5. Pruvit Affiliates shall not make statements that unreasonably offend, mislead, or coerce others.
  4. Pruvit may take appropriate action against an Affiliate if it determines, in its sole discretion, that an Affiliate’s conduct is detrimental, disruptive, or injurious to Pruvit or to other Promoters or Affiliates.

1.3 The Affiliate Agreement

  1. Throughout these Policies & Procedures, when the terms “Affiliate Agreement” and/or “Agreement” are used, it collectively refers to the most current version of the following along with any addendums or exhibits thereto: 
    1. Pruvit Policies and Procedures; and
    2. Pruvit Compensation Plan.

The Income Disclosure Statement is attached hereto as Addendum 2 and is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

1.4 Amendments to the Affiliate Agreement

BASIC PRINCIPLES

2.1 Becoming A Pruvit Affiliate

  1. A Pruvit Affiliate is an independent contractor. A Pruvit Affiliate is not a franchisee, joint venture Partner, business Partner, employee, or agent of Pruvit, and a Pruvit Affiliate is prohibited from stating or implying, whether orally or in writing, otherwise. A Pruvit Affiliate has no authority to bind Pruvit to any obligation. Pruvit is not responsible for payment or co-payment of any employee benefits. A Pruvit Affiliate is responsible for liability, health, disability, and workmen’s compensation insurance. A Pruvit Affiliate is responsible for their own managerial decisions and expenditures including all estimated income and self-employment taxes. A Pruvit Affiliate sets their own hours and determines how to conduct their Affiliate business, subject to the AffiliateAgreement and any other guidelines that may be implemented from time to time.

To become an Affiliate, an applicant must:

  1. Be of the age of majority (not a minor) in his or her state of residence;
  2. Reside or have a valid address in a state, country, or territory in which Pruvit is licensed to operate;
  3. Have a valid taxpayer identification number (i.e. Social Security Number or Federal Tax-ID (EIN);
  4. Enter a verified mobile phone number, which is not in use or associated with any other Pruvit Account. This will be verified through a verification code sent to the applicant’s mobile phone number.
  5. Acknowledge and agree to all communication sent by Pruvit, (including but not limited to emails, texts, broadcasts, letters, etc.) with choice to "opt-out" of these communications.

2.2 New Affiliate Enrollment

  1. A potential new Affiliate may self-enroll on any Sponsor’s website, subject to acceptance by Pruvit of the applicant’s online enrollment confirming the applicant has agreed to all terms and conditions of the Affiliate Agreement.
  2. Electronically submitted and/or signed documents, including, but not limited to, online submissions, automated credit card processing authorization documents, and the Affiliate Agreement, are legally binding contracts which must not be altered, tampered with, or changed in any manner after they have been signed and/or submitted. False or misleading information, forged signatures, or alterations to any document, including business registration forms, may lead to sanctions, up to and including involuntary termination of the offending Affiliate’s Account.
  3. An applicant enrolling with Pruvit must identify a Sponsor in the online enrollment process. If the applicant later enrolls and identifies a different Sponsor, Pruvit will not accept the later enrollment. Pruvit reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make the final decision with respect to any disputes regarding Affiliate enrollments, Sponsors, and Placements.

PRUVIT’S AFFILIATE RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Correct Address

  1. It is the responsibility of the Affiliate or Customer to make sure Pruvit has the correct shipping address before any orders are shipped.
  2. An Affiliate and/or Customer will need to allow up to seventy-two (72) hours for processing after a notice of address change has been received by Pruvit’s Support Team.

3.2 Use of Sales Aids

  1. To promote Pruvit products and the Pruvit business opportunity, Affiliates are encouraged to use the sales aids and support materials produced or expressly authorized by Pruvit. Affiliates may use and publish marketing materials they design only after such materials have been approved by Pruvit. An Affiliate’s unauthorized use of sales aids or promotional materials, including but not limited to internet advertising and social media marketing on Facebook, Instagram, and the like, is a violation of these Policies and Procedures. Additionally, publishing marketing materials that violate statutes or regulatory laws governing how Pruvit’s products or business opportunity may be marketed is a violation of these Policies and Procedures and may result in immediate termination of the publisher’s Pruvit Account. Any such violations could jeopardize the Pruvit opportunity for all Affiliates. Accordingly, Affiliates must submit via email all sales aids, promotional materials, advertisements, websites, training material, and flyers, along with any other literature to Pruvit’s Compliance Department for approval prior to use at compliance@pruvithq.com. Unless the Affiliate receives written approval to use the submitted material(s), the request shall be deemed denied. All Affiliates shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of Pruvit and its products. The marketing and promotion of Pruvit, the Pruvit business opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and Pruvit products and services shall be consistent with the public interest and must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical, or immoral conduct or practices.

3.3 Sponsorship

  1. The Sponsor is the person who introduces a Promoter, Affiliate, or Customer to Pruvit, helps them complete their enrollment, and supports and trains those in their downline.
  2. Pruvit recognizes the Sponsor as the name shown on an applicant’s first enrollment submission to Pruvit.
  3. An applicant may not enroll with Pruvit as an Affiliate without personally accepting and agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Affiliate Agreement.
  4. Pruvit recognizes that each new prospect has the right to ultimately choose his or her own Sponsor, but Pruvit will not allow Affiliates to engage in unethical Sponsoring activities.
  5. All active Affiliates in good standing have the right to Sponsor and enroll others into Pruvit. While engaged in sponsoring activities, it is not uncommon to encounter situations where more than one Affiliate has approached the same prospect. In this scenario, the new prospect should be Sponsored by the first Affiliate who presented a comprehensive introduction to Pruvit products or business opportunity.
  6. In the event of a dispute regarding Sponsorship, Pruvit reserves the right to designate a prospect’s Sponsor and all such determinations are final.

3.4 Unethical Sponsoring

  1. Unethical Sponsoring activities include but are not limited to, enticing, bidding, or engaging in unhealthy competition by attempting to acquire a prospect or new Affiliate away from a fellow Affiliate or influencing another Affiliate to transfer to a different Sponsor.
  2. Allegations of unethical sponsoring must be reported in writing to the Pruvit Compliance Department within the first 30 days of the new Affiliate enrollment in question. If reports of unethical sponsoring are substantiated, Pruvit may transfer the Affiliate or the Affiliate’s downline to another Sponsor or Organization without approval from the current up-line Sponsor. Pruvit remains the final authority in such cases.
  3. Pruvit prohibits the unauthorized manipulation of the Pruvit Compensation Plan and/or marketing plan to trigger commissions or cause the promotion of a downline Affiliate in an unearned manner (hereinafter, “Stacking.”). For example, Stacking occurs when a Sponsor places Affiliate(s) under an inactive downline without the Affiliate’s knowledge to trigger unearned qualification for commissioning purposes. Stacking is an unethical, punishable offense which may result in immediate termination of the Accounts of all Affiliates, individuals, and/or entities found to be involved.
  4. Any Affiliate who Solicits or entices members of another Direct Sales company to sell or distribute Pruvit products and services bears the risk of being sued by the other Direct Sales company. If any lawsuit, arbitration, or mediation is brought against an Affiliate alleging that they engaged in inappropriate Solicitation of another company’s sales force or customers, Pruvit will not pay any of the Affiliate’s defense costs or legal fees, nor will Pruvit indemnify the Affiliate for any judgment, award, or settlement.

3.5 Cross Sponsoring Prohibition

  1. “Cross Sponsoring” is the enrollment into a different Line of Sponsorship of an individual or Business Entity that previously enrolled as an Affiliate. Actual or attempted cross Sponsoring is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of the offending Affiliate’s Account.
  2. Enrollment through use of a Spouse or relative’s name, trade name, assumed name, Business Entity, or fictitious identification of any kind to evade or circumvent this Cross-Sponsoring Policy is strictly prohibited.
  3. This Policy does not prohibit the transfer of a Pruvit Account and business in accordance with Transfer of Sale or Transfer Policy set forth in these Policies.

AGREEMENTS & GENERAL UNDERSTANDINGS

4.1 Rights Granted

  1. Pruvit hereby grants to the Affiliate a non-exclusive right, based upon the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement to:
    1. Purchase Pruvit products and services;
    2. Promote and sell Pruvit products and services; and
    3. Sponsor new Affiliates and Customers in countries where Pruvit is currently authorized to do business or becomes authorized to do business in the future.
  2. No feature of the Pruvit Compensation Plan constitutes a personal purchase requirement to become an Affiliate or otherwise fully participate in the Compensation Plan. No product purchase is required of anyone at any time to fully participate as an Affiliate.

4.2 Effect of Termination

  1.  Following voluntary or involuntary termination of an Affiliate’s Pruvit Account (collectively, “Termination”) such Affiliate: 
    1. Shall have no right, title, claim, or interest to any commission or bonus, including Pruvit Points, from the sales generated by the Affiliate’s former Organization or any other payments in association with the Affiliate’s terminated Account;
    2. Effectively waives any and all claims to property rights or any interest in or to the Affiliate’s former downline Organization and Account; and
    3. Shall receive commissions and bonuses only for the last full pay period in which the Affiliate was active prior to termination, less any amounts withheld during an investigation preceding an involuntary termination, less Pruvit Points which are not redeemable for cash, and less any other amounts owed to Pruvit.
    4. Upon termination or dormancy due to inactivity for one (1) year or more, the
      Affiliate forfeits all funds in its commissions and/or Pay-Out Accounts and
      authorizes Pruvit to seize funds and close the Accounts.

4.3 Modifying an Affiliate’s Pruvit Account

  1. An Affiliate may modify his or her existing Pruvit Account to add a Spouse or partner to the Affiliate’s Account or change the form of ownership from an individual to a Business Entity by submitting a written request to Pruvit’s Support Department and returning any documentation requested by Pruvit’s Support Department to make such modification.

4.4 Unauthorized Transfer & Re-Enrollment

  1. In the event an Affiliate discovers that an Affiliate in their downline has re-enrolled under a different Affiliate, the Affiliate has thirty (30) days from the date the downline Affiliate enrolled under a new Affiliate to notify the Pruvit Compliance department and request the downline Affiliate be transferred back to his/her downline. Upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period, the right to re-claim a new Affiliate to his or her downline will be waived.

4.5 Change of Sponsors or Placement for Affiliates

  1. Placement changes/corrections may be requested within seventy-two (72) hours from the time a first order is placed in connection with the requesting Affiliate’s Account. Such adjustments require written permission directed to Pruvit’s Support Department submitted from the personal back office of the Sponsor as well as the Affiliate to be moved and in some cases the Upline Affiliate.
  2. Sponsor changes are generally not permitted. However, Sponsor corrections can be made if they are reported to Pruvit’s Support Department within seventy-two (72) hours from the time a first order is placed in connection with the requesting Affiliate’s Account. Sponsor corrections must be requested from the back office of the current (original) Sponsor, stating the reason that the correction needs to be made.
  3. At the discretion of Pruvit, Affiliates who have not ordered Pruvit products or services for at least twelve (12) months, and whose Account has not been terminated, are eligible to re-enroll in Pruvit under the Sponsor/Placement of their choice.
  4. When a former Affiliate re-enrolls with Pruvit, Pruvit will “compress” (close) the Affiliate’s original Account, and a new Pruvit User ID number be issued to the Affiliate. In this scenario, an Affiliate does not retain former downline Organization, or rights to commissions from the Affiliate’s former Pruvit business or Account.
  5. Pruvit reserves the right to correct Sponsor or Placement errors at any time and in whatever manner it deems necessary in its sole discretion.

4.6 Change of Organizations

  1. If an Affiliate wishes to change Organizations within Pruvit, the Affiliate must submit a notice of voluntary termination to the Pruvit Compliance Department in accordance with Section 4.10 below, and remain inactive (place no orders or be on an auto-ship) with or in Pruvit for six (6) months from the date Pruvit acknowledges receipt of the notice before being eligible to re-enroll under a different Sponsor/Placement.
  2. Pruvit retains the right to approve or deny any request to re-enroll after an Affiliate’s termination. Affiliates within the same downline Organization simultaneously submitting notices of voluntary termination to transfer Organizations in accordance with Section 4.8 (a) will be deemed an abuse of these Policies.
  3. If re-enrollment is approved, the former Affiliate will be issued a new Pruvit User ID after accepting and agreeing to the terms of the Affiliate Agreement in effect at that time. The re-enrolled Affiliate will not be entitled to keep any former downline, or rights to commissions associated with the Affiliate’s prior Pruvit User ID/Account.

4.7 Voluntary Termination

  1. An Affiliate may immediately terminate his or her Account and Pruvit business associated therewith by submitting a written notice via email to the Pruvit Compliance Department at compliance@pruvithq.com. The written notice must include the following: 
    1. Statement of the Affiliate’s intent to terminate the Account;
    2. Date of termination;
    3. Affiliate’s Pruvit User ID;
    4. Reason(s) for terminating the Account; and
    5. Affiliate’s signature.
  2. An Affiliate may not use voluntary Account termination as a way to immediately change Sponsor or Placement. An Affiliate who has voluntarily terminated an Account is not eligible to re-enroll with Pruvit or have any financial interest in a or any Pruvit business for six (6) months from Pruvit’s receipt of the written notice of termination. A terminated Affiliate who promotes Pruvit products or services during this six (6) month waiting period by using another Affiliate’s or Customer’s referral code is in violation of this provision and shall not be permitted to re-enroll until six (6) months following any such offending conduct has ceased.

4.8 Involuntary Termination

  1. Pruvit reserves the right to terminate an Affiliate’s Account for, but not limited to, the following reasons: 
    1. Violation of any provision of the Affiliate Agreement;
    2. Violation of any applicable law, ordinance, or regulation related to the Affiliate’s Pruvit business;
    3. Engaging in unethical business practices or violating standards of fair dealing; or
    4. Returning over $500 worth of Pruvit product, services, and/or sales tools for a refund within a twelve (12) month period.
    5. Affiliate initiates, joins, or otherwise voluntarily participates in a lawsuit against Pruvit, its directors, officers, employees, and/or agents.
  2. Pruvit will notify the Affiliate in writing via email and certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight documented mail, at the Affiliate’s last known address, of Pruvit’s intent to terminate the Affiliate’s Account and the reasons for termination. The involuntary termination will be effective date as of the written notice.
  3. A former Affiliate shall thereafter be prohibited from using the names, marks or signs, labels, stationery, advertising, or business material referring to or relating to any Pruvit products or services. Pruvit will notify the active Upline Sponsor within ten (10) days after termination. The Organization of the terminated Affiliate will “roll up” to the active Upline Sponsor on record.
  4. An Affiliate who is involuntarily terminated by Pruvit may not re-enroll as an Affiliate, either under his or her present name or any other name or Business Entity, without the express written consent of an officer of Pruvit, following a review by the Pruvit Compliance Committee. If such consent is granted, the Affiliate may not re-enroll as an Affiliate for twelve (12) months following the date of termination.

BUSINESS ENTITIES

5.1 Definition

  1. A corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust (collectively, a “Business Entity”) may enroll as an Affiliate if residing in the United States. Affiliates residing in Canada and Mexico are not eligible to enroll as a Business Entity.
  2. An Affiliate may change their status under the same Sponsor from an individual to a Business Entity in accordance with Section 4.4 of these Policies.

5.2 Indemnification for Actions

  1. An Affiliate is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal and written communications made regarding Pruvit products, services, and the Compensation Plan that are not expressly contained within official Pruvit materials. Affiliates shall indemnify and hold harmless Pruvit, its directors, officers, employees, product suppliers, and agents from any and against all liability including judgments, civil penalties, refunds, attorney’s fees, and court costs incurred by Pruvit as a result of the Affiliate’s unauthorized representations or actions. This provision shall survive the termination of the Affiliate Agreement and a Pruvit Account.

5.3 Insurance

  1. Pruvit encourages Affiliates to obtain insurance coverage for their Pruvit business. A homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover business-related injuries, or the theft of, or damage to, inventory or business equipment. Affiliates should contact their insurance agent to make certain their business property is protected. In many instances, this may be accomplished with a “Business Pursuit” endorsement to an existing homeowner’s policy.

POLICY VIOLATIONS

6.1 Reporting Policy Violation

  1. An Affiliate who observes a violation of these Policies and Procedures by another Affiliate or Customer should submit any such violation(s) to the Pruvit Compliance Department via email to compliance@pruvithq.com. The email should include:

    2. Specific facts to support the allegations;
    3. Dates;

6.4 Compliance with Applicable Tax Laws

  1. An Affiliate accepts sole responsibility for and agrees to pay all federal, state, provincial, and local taxes on any income generated as an Affiliate, and further agrees to indemnify Pruvit from any failure to pay any such taxes when due. Pruvit encourages Affiliates to consult with his/her/its tax advisor(s) to ensure they are compliant with all applicable laws and understand the tax consequences as an independent contractor.

In Canada, Prüvit will charge and remit sales tax based on charges in the amount of $500.00 or more per calendar year. In Mexico, Prüvit withholds ISR taxes each period as Affiliate earnings are transferred to their wallet.

6.5 One Pruvit Account Per Affiliate

  1. An Affiliate may operate or have an ownership interest, legal or equitable, as a sole proprietorship, partner, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary, in only one (1) Pruvit Account and business associated therewith. No individual (together with their Spouse) may have, operate, or receive compensation from more than one Pruvit Account and business associated therewith. Individuals of the same Family Unit, excluding Spouses, may each enter into or have an interest in their own separate Pruvit Account, only if each subsequent family position is placed frontline to the first family member enrolled. Each position must build their position separate and independent of the other or the position will be deemed to be Stacking. In the event two Affiliates that have established Accounts subsequently get married, they are eligible to maintain their separate Accounts.

6.6 Actions of Household Members or Affiliated Parties

  1. If any member of an Affiliate’s immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed by the Affiliate, would violate any provision of the Affiliate Agreement, such activity will be deemed a violation by the Affiliate and Pruvit may take disciplinary action pursuant to these Policies and Procedures against the Affiliate. Similarly, if any individual associated in any way with a Business Entity violates the Affiliate Agreement, such action(s) will be deemed a violation by the Business Entity, and Pruvit may take disciplinary action against the Business Entity. Likewise, if an Affiliate is a Business Entity, any owner, member, officer, and/or affiliate of that Business Entity shall be personally and individually bound to, and must comply with the Affiliate Agreement.

6.7 Identification Numbers and Pay-Out

  1. Each Affiliate is required to provide a Social Security Number or Federal Tax-ID (EIN), if located in the United States or any of its territories to Pruvit at the time the Affiliate initiates a transfer of funds or earnings accumulated in the Affiliate’s Wallet. The transferring and disbursement of commission payments or bonuses acquired is known as a “Pay-Out” and Pruvit reserves the right to withhold Pay-Out from any Affiliate who fails to provide a valid Social Security Number or Federal Tax-ID (EIN) or who provides false information.
  2. Upon enrollment, Pruvit will provide a Pruvit User ID to the Affiliate. This number will be used to place orders, structure Organizations, and track commissions and bonuses.

6.8 Sale, Assignment, or Transfer of Ownership

  1. In order to preserve the integrity of the hierarchical structure, it is necessary for Pruvit to place restrictions on the transfer, assignment, or sale of an Affiliate’s Pruvit Account and business associated therewith.
  2. An Affiliate may not sell, assign, or transfer his or her rights or delegate his or her Account or position as an Affiliate without Pruvit’s prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. All parties involved in any transaction described in this Section 6.8 must be in good standing with Pruvit to be eligible for any proposed sale, assignment, or transfer. Any attempted sale, assignment, or transfer without Pruvit’s approval may be voided at the discretion of Pruvit.
  3. Any approved buyer/assignee/transferee shall assume the position of the Affiliate at the time of the sale and acquires the Affiliate’s downline Organization.

    1. a fully executed, dated, and properly completed Pruvit Transfer of Account Request Form;
    2. a fully executed, dated, and notarized agreement between the Affiliate and the proposed buyer/transferee/assignee; and

  6. An Affiliate who sells, transfers or assigns his/her/its Pruvit position is not eligible to re-enroll as a Pruvit Affiliate for six (6) full calendar months following the date of the sale, transfer, or assignment except as otherwise expressly permitted by these Policies and Procedures.

6.9 Separating a Pruvit Business

  1. Pending a divorce or dissolution of a Business Entity, the parties must adopt one of the following methods of operation: 
    1. One of the parties may, with the written consent of the other(s), operate the Pruvit business whereby the relinquishing Spouse, shareholder, partner, member, or trustee (“Relinquishing Party”) authorizes Pruvit to deal directly and solely with the non-Relinquishing Party.
    2. The parties may continue to operate the Pruvit business jointly on a “business as usual” basis. All compensation paid by Pruvit will be to the individual(s) or Business Entity named as the Affiliate on the Account and the Affiliate shall indemnify Pruvit from any and all claims of any other party with respect to the Pruvit business and Account and any payment(s) made in connection therewith.
  2. Pruvit recognizes only one downline Organization and will issue only one commission payment transfer per Pruvit Account per commission cycle. Under no circumstances will the downline of an Organization be divided, nor will Pruvit split commissions and/or bonuses.
  3. If a Relinquishing Party has completely relinquished, in writing, all rights to the original Pruvit business and Account, the Relinquishing Party may immediately thereafter re-enroll under the Sponsor and Placement of his or her choice. In such cases, however, the Relinquishing Party shall have no rights to, and shall not solicit, any Affiliate or active Customer in the former Organization, and must develop a new business in the same manner as any other new Pruvit Affiliate. An Affiliate in the Relinquishing Party’s former downline Organization who wishes to transfer to the Relinquishing Party’s new Organization or to any other Organization must comply with the requirements in Section 4.0.

6.10 Succession

  1. The Affiliate Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
  2. Upon the death or incapacity of an Affiliate, the Affiliate’s Account and business associated therewith may be passed on to his or her legal successors in interest (“Successor”). Whenever a Pruvit business is transferred by will, the successor acquires the right to collect all bonuses and commissions of the deceased Affiliate’s sales Organization. The Successor must:
      1. Accept and agree to all terms of the Affiliate Agreement;
      2. Comply with the terms and provisions of the Affiliate Agreement
  3. Any bonuses and/or commissions transferred pursuant to this section will be paid in a single transfer to the successor, except for Pruvit Points which hold no cash value. The successor must provide Pruvit with an “address of record” to which all bonuses and commissions Pay-Out will be sent. Payments will be based on the current performance of the position, not the volume achieved.
  4. If a Pruvit business is bequeathed to joint devisees, they must form a Business Entity and acquire a Federal Tax ID (EIN). Pruvit will issue all bonus and commission payments to the managing Business Entity only.
  5. Appropriate legal documentation must be submitted to the Pruvit Compliance Department to ensure the transfer is done properly. To affect a testamentary transfer of a Pruvit business, the Successor must provide the following to Pruvit Compliance Department:
      1. A certified copy of the death certificate; and
      2. A notarized copy of the will.
  6. To complete a transfer of the Pruvit business because of incapacity, the Successor must provide the following to the Pruvit Compliance Department: 
      1. A notarized copy of an appointment as trustee;
      2. A notarized copy of the trust document or other appropriate legal documentation establishing the trustee’s right to administer the Pruvit business; and
      3. The Affiliate Agreement accepted and agreed to by the trustee in writing.
  7. If the Successor is already an existing Affiliate, Pruvit will allow such Affiliate to keep his or her own position plus the inherited position active for up to six (6) months. By the end of the six (6) month period, the Affiliate must have compressed (if applicable), sold, or otherwise transferred either the existing position or the inherited position.
  8. If the Successor wishes to terminate the Pruvit position, he or she must submit a notarized statement stating the desire to terminate the position, along with a certified copy of the death certificate, appointment as trustee, and/or any other appropriate legal documentation.

DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS

7.1 Imposition of Disciplinary Action - Purpose

It is the spirit of Pruvit that integrity and fairness should pervade among its Affiliates, thereby providing everyone with an equal opportunity to build a successful business. Therefore, Pruvit reserves the right to impose disciplinary sanctions at any time, when it has determined that an Affiliate has violated the Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time by Pruvit in accordance herewith.

7.2 Consequences and Remedies of Breach

  1. Disciplinary actions may include one or more of the following: 
    1. Monitoring an Affiliate’s conduct over a specified period of time to assure compliance;
    2. Alerting the Affiliate’s upline so that the upline may further educate the Affiliate and/or take proactive action to protect the Pruvit community from cross-recruiting, disparagement, etc.;
    3. Issuance of a written warning or requiring the Affiliate to take immediate corrective action;
    4. Imposition of a fine (which may be imposed immediately or withheld from future commission payments) or the withholding of commission payments (“Commission Hold”) until the matter causing the Commission Hold is resolved or until Pruvit receives adequate additional assurances from the Affiliate to ensure future compliance;
    5. Suspension from participation in Pruvit or Affiliate events, rewards, or recognition;
    6. Suspension of the Pruvit Affiliate Agreement and position for one or more pay periods;
    7. Involuntary termination of the Affilaite’s Agreement and position;
    8. Any measure or combination of measures above which Pruvit deems feasible and appropriate to justly resolve injuries caused by the Affiliate’s policy violation or contractual breach; or
    9. Legal proceedings for monetary or equitable relief.

7.3 Suspension Procedures

  1. First Violation: Counseling and initial warning letter. 
    1. A first violation usually occurs because the Affiliate is not familiar with the Policies and Procedures or the law. Counseling and the initial warning provide an opportunity for the Compliance Department to bring to the attention of the Affiliate the Policies and Procedures and the specific violation, and to provide counseling on complying with the Policies and Procedures and applicable laws. The Compliance Department will also describe expectations and steps the Affiliate must take to resolve the violation including, but not limited to, either removing or revising the non-compliant claim or how to remedy other policy violations. Within three days of such notice, the Compliance Department will determine if the non-compliant material or other policy violation has been remediated. If so, the Compliance Department will close the file. If not, the Compliance Department will proceed to 2nd violation notice described below.
  2. Second Violation: Second warning letter and suspension. 
    1. Although it is hoped that the Affiliate will promptly correct the violation(s), Pruvit recognizes that this may not always occur. The second written warning indicates the seriousness of repeated violations and will prompt a temporary suspension of the Affiliate’s account. During the suspension period, the Affiliate waives any and all rights to Pay-Out and must submit a signed reinstatement letter wherein the Affiliate acknowledges the violation(s) and describes the steps taken to correct the violation(s). Once the reinstatement letter is accepted by Pruvit, the suspension will be lifted and the Affiliate will be able to request a Pay-Out. The Affiliate may be subject to additional discipline up to and including termination if the violation is not remedied or further violations occur.
  1. Third Violation: Suspension and final written warning. 
    1. Repeated violations of the Policies and Procedures are very problematic and potentially harmful. Therefore, the most effective and prudent action is suspension of the Affiliate and forfeiture of commissions for at least a month. The final written warning letter will include notification of such suspension, the extent of the commission forfeiture, and an indication that if the Affiliate violates the Policies and Procedures again, the Affiliate will be terminated immediately.
  1. Fourth Violation: Termination. 
    1. As described above, Pruvit will try to exercise the progressive nature of the discipline policy by first providing warnings, a final written warning, and suspension and commission forfeiture before proceeding to termination of the Affiliate’s Pruvit Account. Pruvit will notify the Affiliate in writing if/when the Account is terminated.
    2. Pruvit reserves the right to combine and omit steps depending on the circumstances of each situation and the nature of the violation. Furthermore, Affiliate may be terminated without prior notice or disciplinary action, as authorized by the Policies and Procedures.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

8.1 Grievances Against Another Pruver or Affiliate

  1. If a Pruvit Affiliate has a grievance or complaint against another Pruver or Affiliate regarding any practice or conduct relating to their Pruvit businesses, he or she is encouraged to resolve the issue directly with the other party. If an agreement cannot be reached, it must be reported directly to the Pruvit Compliance Department as outlined below.
  2. The Pruvit Compliance Department will be the final authority on settling grievances or complaints and its written decision shall be final and binding on the Pruvers or Affiliates involved.
  3. Pruvit will confine its involvement to disputes regarding Pruvit business matters only. Pruvit will not decide issues that involve personality conflicts or unprofessional conduct by or between Pruvers or Affiliates outside the context of a Pruvit business. These issues go beyond the scope of Pruvit and may not be used to justify a Sponsor or Placement change or a transfer to another Pruvit Organization.
  4. Pruvit does not consider, enforce, or mediate third-party agreements between Pruvers or Affiliates, nor does it provide names, funding, or advice for obtaining outside legal counsel.
  5. Process for Grievances:

    1. The Pruvit Affiliate should submit a letter of complaint (e-mail will be accepted) directly to the Pruvit Compliance Department. The letter shall set forth the details of the incident as follows:

      2. Specific facts to support the allegations;
      3. Dates;
      4. Number of occurrences;
      5. Persons involved; and
      6. Supporting documentation.

    2. Upon receipt of the written complaint, Pruvit will conduct an investigation according to the following procedures: 

      1. The Pruvit Compliance Department will send an acknowledgment of receipt to the complaining Affiliate;
      2. The Pruvit Compliance Department will provide a verbal or written notice of the allegation to the Affiliate under investigation. If written notice is sent to the Affiliate, he or she will have 10 business days from the date of the notification letter to present all information relating to the incident for review by Pruvit;
      3. The Pruvit Compliance Department will thoroughly investigate the complaint, and consider all the submitted information it deems relevant, including information from collateral sources. Due to the unique nature of each situation, determinations of the appropriate remedy will be on a case-by-case basis, and the length of time to reach a resolution will vary; and
      4. During the course of the investigation, the Compliance Department will only provide periodic updates simply stating that the investigation is ongoing. No other information will be released during this time. Affiliate calls, letters, and requests for “progress reports” during the course of the investigation will not be answered or returned.

  6. Pruvit will make a final decision and timely notify the Pruvit Affiliates involved.

8.2 Mediation of Disputes Between an Affiliate and Pruvit

  1. Affiliate and Pruvit (collectively “the Parties”) recognize disputes and differences may arise between the Parties and therefore agree it is in their best interest to appoint an impartial mediator to resolve such disputes as they arise. Mediation of a dispute may allow the parties to avoid the cost and inconvenience of litigation in court.
  2. The Parties should exchange all documents pertinent to the relief requested. The mediator may request the exchange of memoranda and other information; items that a party wishes to keep confidential may be sent to the mediator in a separate communication.
  3. The mediator shall not be a legal representative of any party.
  4. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the mediation shall take place in Collin County, Texas, on a date that is mutually agreeable among the Parties and mediator. Participation in the mediation by telephone will be permitted to prevent inconvenience to a party.
  5. The mediator shall allow the Parties to be represented by their respective advocates, who have the authority to consummate a settlement. Any party may participate without representation (pro se).
  6. Mediation sessions and related mediation communications are private proceedings. For this reason, only the Parties and their legal representatives may attend mediation sessions. Other persons may attend only with the permission of the Parties and with the consent of the mediator.
  7. Each Party will pay its own costs and expense of the mediation unless the Parties agree otherwise.
  8. The Parties agree that all mediation communications are privileged and not subject to discovery or admissible in evidence in a proceeding unless waived or precluded by both Parties or unless the evidence would otherwise be admissible or subject to discovery if it were not by reason of its disclosure or use in mediation. 
  9. Jurisdiction and venue of any controversy or claim brought under this mediation provision shall be in Collin County, Texas. The Parties further agree that the laws of the State of Texas shall govern all matters, claims, or controversy submitted to mediation pursuant to the Agreement.

8.3 Severability

If any provision of these Policies and Procedures is found to be invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, only the invalid provision shall be severed. The remaining terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision never had comprised a part of these Policies and Procedures.

8.4 Waiver

  1. Only an officer of Pruvit can, in writing, affect a waiver of these Policies and Procedures. Pruvit’s waiver of any particular breach by an Affiliate shall not affect Pruvit’s rights with respect to any subsequent breach, nor shall it affect the rights or obligations of any other Affiliate.
  2. The existence of any claim or cause of action of an Affiliate against Pruvit shall not constitute a defense to Pruvit’s enforcement of any term or provision of these Policies and Procedures.

8.5 Governing Law

  1. The Parties agree that jurisdiction and venue of any controversy or claim arising from the Affiliate Agreement or between Pruvit and Affiliate shall be in Collin County, Texas.

8.6 Class Action Waiver

  1. The parties expressly intend and agree that: 
    1. Class action and representative action procedures are hereby waived and shall not be asserted, nor will they apply, in any court or arbitration; and,
    2. The parties will only submit their own, individual claims in any court or arbitration and will not seek to represent the interests of any other person.
  2. The court or arbitrator is not empowered to consolidate claims of different individuals into one proceeding, to hear any litigation or arbitration as a class action.
  3. As a Pruvit Affiliate and/or Customer, I agree that I will not assert class or collective action claims against Pruvit in arbitration, court, or otherwise, nor will I join or serve as a member of a class or collective action in arbitration, court or otherwise.
  4. As an Affiliate and/or Customer, I understand that this means that there will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class or collective action by me or Pruvit.

  1. An Affiliate receives bonuses and commissions based on the actual sales of products and services to end consumers and to Affiliates through product and service purchases. When a product or service is returned to Pruvit for a refund from the end consumer or by an Affiliate, the bonuses and commissions attributable to the returned product or service will be deducted from the Affiliate who received bonuses or commissions on such sales. Deductions will occur in the month in which the refund is given and continue every pay period thereafter until the bonus/and or commission is recovered.
  2. In the event that an Affiliate terminates his or her position, and the amounts of the bonuses or commissions attributable to the returned products or services have not yet been fully recovered by Pruvit, the remainder of the outstanding balance may be offset against any other amounts that may be owed by Pruvit to the terminated Affiliate.

11.2 Sales Requirements Are Governed by the Compensation Plan

  1. Pruvit Affiliates may sell sample packs at any price they choose unless otherwise specified by Pruvit or its suppliers. Pruvit will provide suggested selling prices. There are no exclusive territories granted to anyone. No franchise fees are applicable to a Pruvit business. Pruvit products may only be sold where Pruvit is licensed or otherwise authorized to conduct business.
  2. The Pruvit program is built on sales to the ultimate consumer or end user. Pruvit encourages its Affiliates to only purchase inventory, in reasonable quantities, that they and their family will personally consume, will be used as a sales tool, or will be resold to others for their ultimate consumption. Affiliates must never attempt to influence any other Affiliate to buy more products than they can reasonably use or sell to retail Customers in a month.
  3. Each Pruvit Affiliate commits to personally use, sell, or use in business building at least seventy percent (70%) of every order placed with Pruvit prior to placing another order and must be able to certify as much if demanded by Pruvit or by any regulatory agency. Purchasing product solely for the purpose of collecting bonuses is strictly prohibited. Pruvit retains the right to limit the amount of purchases you may make if, in our sole judgment, we believe those purchases are being made solely for qualification purposes instead of for consumption or resale.

  5. Further procedures relating to the use of the Pruvit name are as follows:
     
    1. All stationary (i.e. letterhead, envelopes, and business cards) bearing the Pruvit name or logo intended for use by the Pruvit Affiliate must be submitted via email to the Pruvit Compliance Department for approval. Submit to: compliance@pruvithq.com.

14.5 Internet and Third-Party Website Restrictions

  1. An Affiliate and/or Customer is prohibited from creating or registering any third-party website in order to promote, sell, or advertise their Pruvit business or Pruvit products without Pruvit’s express written approval. An Affiliate and/or Customer is prohibited from using or attempting to register any of Pruvit’s trade names, trademarks, service names, service marks, product names, URLs, advertising phrases, the Pruvit logo, or the Pruvit name or any derivative thereof, for any purpose including, but not limited to, Internet domain names (URL), third party websites, e-mail addresses, web pages, or blogs.
  2. A Pruvit Affiliate or Customer may not (directly or indirectly through any intermediary or instrumentality) advertise, offer for sale, or facilitate the offering for sale of any Pruvit products or services or offer the Business Opportunity on any online auction websites, internet retailer sites, or online marketplace websites. Examples of such sites include but are not limited to, eBay®, Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, Sears.com, Jet.com, Walmart.com, and Etsy. This obligation survives the termination of an Affiliate’s Affiliate Agreement with Pruvit.
  3. Social Media sites may be used to advertise Pruvit products or services. PROFILES A AFFILIATE OR CUSTOMER GENERATES IN ANY SOCIAL COMMUNITY WHERE PRUVIT IS DISCUSSED OR MENTIONED MUST CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE AFFILIATE AS AN INDEPENDENT PRUVIT AFFILIATE, and when an Affiliate and/or Customer participates in those communities, Affiliates and/or Customers must avoid inappropriate conversations, comments, images, video, audio, applications or any other adult, profane, discriminatory or vulgar content. The determination of what is inappropriate is at Pruvit’s sole discretion, and an offending Affiliate and/or Customer will be subject to disciplinary action. Banner ads and images used on these sites must be current and must come from the Pruvit-approved library, official Pruvit website, or social media outlet. If a link is provided, it must link to the posting Affiliate’s Replicated website. Affiliates may not direct social media followers to any other website where Pruvit products are sold on the Internet unless the website has been specifically approved in writing by Pruvit as a third-party website where the Affiliate may offer Pruvit products for sale.
  4. Anonymous postings or use of an alias on any Social Media site is prohibited, and offending Affiliates will be subject to disciplinary action.
  5. Affiliates and/or Customers may not use blog spam, spamdexing, or any other mass-replicated methods to leave blog comments. Comments Affiliates or Customers create or leave must be useful, unique, relevant, and specific to the blog’s article.

Therefore, even if an Affiliate does not own or operate a blog or Social Media site if an Affiliate and/or Customer posts to any such site that relates to Pruvit or which can be traced to Pruvit, the Affiliate is responsible for the posting. Affiliate and/or Customer are also responsible for postings which occur on any blog or Social Media site that the Affiliate and/or Customer owns, operates, or controls.
  9. As a Pruvit Affiliate, it is important to not converse with any person who places a negative post against you, other Affiliates, or Pruvit. Report negative posts to Pruvit at support@pruvithq.com. Responding to such negative posts often simply fuels a discussion with someone carrying a grudge that does not hold themselves to the same high standards as Pruvit, and therefore damages the reputation and goodwill of Pruvit.
  10. The distinction between a Social Media site and a website may not be clear-cut, because some Social Media sites are particularly robust, Pruvit, therefore, reserves the sole and exclusive right to classify certain Social Media sites as third-party websites which are herein prohibited.
  11. If your Pruvit business is canceled for any reason, you must discontinue using the Pruvit name, and all of Pruvit’s trademarks, trade names, service marks, and other intellectual property, and all derivatives of such marks and intellectual property, in any postings and all Social Media sites that you utilize. If you post on any Social Media site on which you have previously identified yourself as an Independent Pruvit Affiliate, you must conspicuously disclose that you are no longer an Independent Pruvit Affiliate.
  12. Failure to comply with these Policies for conducting business online may result in the Affiliate losing their right to advertise and market Pruvit products, services, and Pruvit’s business opportunity online in addition to any other disciplinary action available under the Policies and Procedures.
  13. Affiliates are prohibited from selling Pruvit products to individuals or entities that they know or should know, intend to resell the products. Affiliates must sell Pruvit products only to end-user customers, and Affiliates shall not sell to any person any quantity of Pruvit products greater than that generally purchased by an individual for personal use. Affiliates must take reasonable steps to ensure that they do not violate these policies.

14.6 Advertising and Promotional Materials

In consideration of being allowed to participate in the Pruvit business opportunity, an Affiliate waives any right to be compensated for the use of his or her testimonial or image and likeness even though Pruvit may be paid for items or sales materials containing such image and likeness and represents that any testimonial represents Affiliate’s current, original, honest opinion, thoughts, beliefs, findings or experiences, based on Affiliate’s actual experience with Pruvit and any stated use of Pruvit products and/or services, and agrees to notify Affiliate immediately of any changes in the views expressed in the testimonial. In some cases, an Affiliate’s testimonial may appear in another Affiliate’s advertising materials. If an Affiliate does not wish to participate in Pruvit sales and marketing materials, he or she should provide a written notice to the Pruvit Compliance Department to ensure that his or her testimonial or image and likeness will not be used in any corporate materials, corporate recognition pieces, advertising or recordings of annual events.

14.8 Telemarketing - Limitations

  1. A Pruvit Affiliate must not engage in telemarketing in relation to the operation of the Affiliate’s Pruvit business. The term “telemarketing” means the placing of one or more telephone calls, text messages, emails, or facsimile transmissions to an individual or entity to induce the purchase of Pruvit products or services or to recruit them for the Pruvit opportunity.
  2. The federal government administers the Unsolicited Telecommunication Rules and operates a national Do-Not-Call registry that requires businesses to refrain from calling phone numbers listed on the national “Do-Not-Call” list (DNCL) and or people who tell the caller directly not to call/fax in the future.
  3. While an Affiliate may not consider himself or herself a “telemarketer” in the traditional sense, these regulations broadly define the terms “telemarketer” and “telemarketing” so that the unintentional action of calling someone whose telephone number is listed on the Federal “Do Not Call” registry could cause the Affiliate to violate the law. These regulations must not be taken lightly, as they carry significant penalties.
  4. “Cold calls” or unsolicited calls/texts/emails/faxes made to prospective Customers or Affiliates in order to promote Pruvit products, services, or the Pruvit business opportunity is considered telemarketing and is prohibited.
  5. Exceptions to Telemarketing Regulations. A Pruvit Affiliate may place telephone calls or faxes to prospective Customers, or Affiliates under the following limited situations: 
    1. If the Affiliate has an established current business relationship with the prospect;
    2. In response to the prospect’s personal inquiry or application regarding a product or service offered by the Pruvit Affiliate, within 3 months immediately before the date of such a call/fax;
    3. If the Affiliate receives written and signed permission from the prospect authorizing the Affiliate to call/fax;
    4. If the call/fax is to family members, personal friends, and acquaintances. However, if an Affiliate makes a habit of collecting business cards from everyone he/she meets and subsequently calls/faxes them, the federal government may consider this a form of telemarketing that is not subject to this exemption; and
    5. Pruvit Affiliates engaged in calling “acquaintances,” must make such calls/faxes on an occasional basis only and not as a routine practice.
  6. An Affiliate shall not use automatic telephone dialing systems in the operation of his or her Pruvit businesses.
  7. Failure to abide by Pruvit’s policies or federal regulations regarding telemarketing may lead to sanctions against the Affiliate, up to and including termination of the Affiliate’s Pruvit account.
  8. By signing the Affiliate Agreement, or by accepting commissions, other payments, or awards from Pruvit, an Affiliate gives permission to Pruvit and other Affiliates to contact them as permitted under the Federal Do Not Call regulations.
