Ethical rules in general
PRUVIT desires to provide its independent Promoters with the best products and Compensation Plan in the industry. Accordingly, PRUVIT values constructive criticism and encourages the submission of written comments addressed to the PRUVIT Compliance Department.
Promoter’s negative and disparaging comments about PRUVIT, its products, these Terms and 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 and Customers. PRUVIT Promoters must not belittle PRUVIT, fellow PRUVIT Promoters, 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 Terms and may result in suspension or termination of the offending Promoter’s Account, see also § 11.
PRUVIT endorses the following general code of ethics:
-
A PRUVIT Promoter 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.
-
A Promoter shall strive to resolve business disputes, including conflicts or disagreements with Upline and/or downline Organization Promoters with tact, sensitivity, and good will; and taking care not to create additional conflict.
-
PRUVIT Promoters must be honest, responsible, professional, and conduct themselves with integrity.
-
PRUVIT Promoters shall not make disparaging statements about PRUVIT, other Promoters, PRUVIT employees, product suppliers or agents, products, services, sales and marketing campaigns, or the Compensation Plan.

Ethical rules for dealing with consumers
Our Promoters advise their Promoters honestly and sincerely and clear up any misunderstandings about goods, the business opportunity or other statements during a (sales) consultation.
-
The Promoters introduce themselves in personal and telephone contact with the consumer at the beginning of the sales conversation unsolicited and truthfully with their name and as Promoters of PRUVIT. In addition, at the beginning of the sales conversation they disclose the business purpose of their visit or call and make clear which goods or services are to be offered.

At the customer's request, no sales talk is entered into, the conversation is postponed or a conversation that has already begun is friendly broken off.

Promoters will only refer to letters of recommendation, test results or other persons for business purposes vis-à-vis the consumer if they are authorized by both the reference provider and PRUVIT; these must be accurate and not outdated. Letters of recommendation, tests and personal references must also always be related to the intended purpose.
-
The consumer is not induced to buy products by dubious and/or misleading promises, nor by promises of particular benefits, if these benefits are linked to future, uncertain successes. The Promoters will refrain from doing anything that could lead the consumer to accept the offer made solely in order to do the Promoter a personal favor, to end an unwanted conversation or to enjoy an advantage that is not the subject of the offer or to show their appreciation for giving such an advantage.
-
A Promoter may not disclose any information regarding its remuneration or the potential remuneration of other Promoters. Further, a Promoter may not guarantee, promise or otherwise raise expectations regarding compensation.
-
Promoters will show consideration for commercially inexperienced persons and will under no circumstances take advantage of their age, illness or limited insight to induce them to conclude a contract.
-
In contacts with so-called socially disadvantaged or foreign-language population groups, the Promoters shall take due account of their financial capacity and their ability to understand and speak the language, and in particular shall refrain from doing anything that might cause members of such groups to place orders that are not appropriate to their circumstances.

Special arrangement for ITALY
-
The Promoter shall be qualified, within the framework of the contractual relationship and these General Terms and Conditions, as "Incaricato alle Vendite a Domicilio" ("Incaricato"), the status of which is governed by Italian Legislative Decree no. 114/1998 [Decreto Legislativo n. 114/1998] and Law no. 173/2005 [Legge no. 173/2005]. PRUVIT may use a contractual and fulfillment partner to meet specific regulatory requirements within Italy.
In that case, these Terms and Conditions apply for Italian Incaricati also in respect to the specific contractual and fulfillment partner. The respective contractual and fulfillment partner for Italy is TLC24 s.r.o. Italy Branch, Via Marie Curie 17, 39100 Bolzano, Italy. -
It is also important to know that distribution partners (Incaricati) are not allowed to resell PRUVIT goods within Italy. As a consequence, the clauses of these General Terms and Conditions concerning resale are not applicable to Promoters in Italy (Incaricati) - and any other clauses used in these General Terms and Conditions concerning the marketing or distribution of PRUVIT 's goods are to be reduced for Promoters (Incaricati) to mere "promotional promotion of the goods".
-
If so required by Italian law, further specific conditions for distribution partners in Italy (Incaricati) due to mandatory legal regulations may have to be observed in addition.
-
-
Both PRUVIT and all PRUVIT service partners provide their services exclusively on the basis of these Terms and Conditions.
§ 2 Subject matter of the contract
-
PRUVIT is a company that distributes high-quality dietary supplements and other health and lifestyle products (hereafter: goods) via a "social selling sales concept". The Promoter shall mediate goods for PRUVIT, so that the provision of mediation of the goods is the basis of the Promoter's business. For this activity it is not necessary that the Promoter incurs financial expenses beyond his possibly accruing activation fee and the annual service fee (see in this respect § 6), that he purchases/acquires a minimum number of Goods or other services from PRUVIT or that the Promoter recruits other Promoters. Only the registration is required. For his activity, the Promoter receives an appropriate commission.
-
In addition, there is the possibility, but not the obligation, to recruit other distribution partners. For this activity, the recruiting Promoter will receive a corresponding commission on the product sales of the recruited Promoter if the required qualification is achieved. However, no commission is expressly paid for recruitment. The commission, as well as the manner of payment, is based on the compensation plan applicable at that time.
No feature of the PRUVIT Compensation Plan constitutes a personal purchase requirement to become a Promoter, move up in rank, or otherwise fully participate in the Compensation Plan. No product purchase is required of anyone at any time to fully participate as a Promoter.
-
With the successful registration PRUVIT provides the Promoter with training and personalized advertising tools as well as an online back office together with a landing page including a right of use within the meaning of § 6 (1), which enables the Promoter, among other things, to have an always up-to-date and comprehensive overview of his sales, commission claims, settlements as well as his Promoter- and downline developments. At the same time, the Promoter has the possibility to purchase a starter set without being obliged to do so.
-
PRUVIT hereby grants to the Promoter a non-exclusive right, based upon these Terms and Conditions to:
-
Purchase PRUVIT products and services
-
Promote and sell PRUVIT products and services
-
Sponsor new Promoters and Customers in countries where PRUVIT is currently authorized to do business or becomes authorized to business in the future.

Special regulations for ITALY
-
In Italy, Italian law does not allow a corporation as defined in § 3 (1) above and a partnership as defined in § 3 (1) above to register as an Incaricato, so that in Italy only individual persons can register with PRUVIT as Promoters (Incaricati). The Promoter (Incaricato) is obliged to send a copy of a valid identification document to PRUVIT and must comply with the "requirements of respectability" as per Section 71 of Legislative Decree no. 59/2010 [Decreto Legislativo n. 59/2010], the aforementioned obligation being fulfilled during the entire term of the contract, including at the time of renewal of the contract as per § 16 (1).

In addition, PRUVIT expressly reserves the right to assert further claims for damages in this case of termination without notice.
§ 4 Status of the Promoter as Entrepreneur
-
The Promoter acts as an independent and autonomous entrepreneur. In this respect, the parties agree that the Promoter shall initially act on a part-time basis. The Promoter is neither an employee nor a commercial agent, franchisee or broker of PRUVIT. There are no sales targets, acceptance or other activity obligations. The Promoter is not subject to any instructions from PRUVIT with the exception of the contractual obligations and bears the full entrepreneurial risk of his business activities including the obligation to bear all his business costs. The Promoter has to set up and operate his business - if required - in the sense of a prudent businessperson, which includes - if required - the operation of his own offices or a workplace managed in the sense of a legit businessperson.
-
As an independent entrepreneur, the Promoter shall be responsible for compliance with the relevant legal provisions, including tax and social security regulations (e.g. obtaining a VAT identification number or registering his employees with the social security authorities, as well as for obtaining a trade license, if required). In this respect, the Promoter assures that all commission income, which he generates in the course of his activities for PRUVIT, is duly taxed at his place of business. PRUVIT reserves the right to deduct from the agreed commission the respective amount for taxes and duties or to claim damages or reimbursement of expenses, which it incurs due to a violation of the above-mentioned requirements, unless the Promoter is not responsible for the damage or expense. PRUVIT will not pay any social security contributions for the Promoter.
-
Specific rules for FRANCE
Promoters (as VDI partners according to French law) may not, under any circumstances, carry out the activity of an employer, nor may they be in a contractual relationship with other Promoters from their downline, as far as this contractual relationship relates to the PRUVIT business. No remuneration, in any form whatsoever, may be paid by a Promoter to another Promoter.
-
Specific rules for ITALY
PRUVIT, respective the Italian fulfillment and contractual partner, will - as far as required by law - deduct and withhold social security contributions and income taxes (as well as any other taxes or levies that may be mandatory) from the commissions payable to the Promoter (Incaricati) and transfer them to the competent Italian authority on behalf of the Incaricato.
§ 5 Voluntary contractual cancellation policy
You register with PRUVIT as an entrepreneur and not as a consumer, so that you have no legal right of withdrawal. Nevertheless, PRUVIT grant you the following voluntary 14 - day, contractual right of withdrawal in respect to your PRUVIT agreement.
Voluntary right of withdrawal
You may revoke your contractual declaration within 14 days without giving reasons in writing (by letter or e-mail) to the address or e-mail address stated in § 1.
The period begins with the transmission of the Promoter application. The timely dispatch (date of the postmark/e-mail) of the revocation suffices to comply with the revocation period.
Consequences of withdrawal
After your revocation you can return all unopened and resalable goods and other services purchased as a Promoter to PRUVIT against reimbursement of the full payments made for them. The return has to take place at the expense and risk of the Promoter. After receipt of the returned goods and examination of the same for freedom from defects, unopened and resalability, the purchase price will be refunded at 100%.
A Promoter may register again with PRUVIT through another sponsor after the revocation of his old position. Prerequisite is that the revocation for the old position of the Promoter was at least 6 months ago and the revoking Promoter has not performed any activities for PRUVIT during this time.
§ 6 Activation fee / use of the back office and landing page / service fee
-
With the registration and payment of the non-commissioned activation and membership fee due when enrolling with PRUVIT, the Promoter acquires his PRUVIT Business Kit and other advertising material, the right to use the back office and landing page for 12 months.
For the use as well as for the maintenance, administration, support and care of the back office and the landing page PRUVIT charges an annual non-commissionable service fee / membership fee.
-
The membership renewal fee is due on an annual basis thereafter. If a Promoter fails to pay the annual membership renewal fee within sixty (60) days of when it is due, the Promoter’s Account will be terminated and the Promoter will lose any and all rights to the Account, downline Organization, and any commissions and/or bonuses associated therewith. The Promoter shall not be eligible to re-enroll with PRUVIT as a Promoter for six (6) months following termination of the Account. Upon termination of the Account, the downline Organization will roll up to the immediate, active Upline Sponsor.
-
If a Promoter pays the membership renewal fee after it is due but within a sixty (60) day grace period, the Promoter will resume the rank and position held immediately prior to the membership renewal fee due date. However, such Promoter’s paid as level will not be restored unless that Promoter qualifies at that level in the new month. The Promoter is not eligible to receive commissions or bonuses for any part of the sixty (60) day grace period that the annual membership renewal fee is unpaid.
-
- The right to use the back office, software applications and landing page is a simple, non- transferable right of use relating to the specific back office; the Promoter has no right to change, edit or otherwise redesign the back office, nor is he entitled to grant sub-licenses.
§ 7 Obligations of the Promoter
-
The Promoter is obliged to protect its personal passwords and login identifications from access by third parties and must notify PRUVIT immediately of any changes to its contractual data.

Rather there is always the obligation to point out to potential Promoters in the context of initiation talks expressly that the achievement of an income is only possible by very intensive and continuous work.
-
Distribution and marketing activities shall not simulate commissions, which are to be understood as "head hunting fees”, entry fees or other commissions in connection with the mere recruitment of a new Promoter, or otherwise act to make the advertised distribution system appear to be an illegal distribution system, namely an illegal progressive snowball or pyramid scheme or otherwise a fraudulent distribution system. It must not be given the impression that the purchase of goods is necessary for a Promoter to be able to work for PRUVIT. It must not be given the impression that the payment of an entrance fee or any other payment to PRUVIT, another Promoter or other third party is necessary to become a Promoter for PRUVIT.
-

-
A Promoter shall not claim that the compensation plan or the Goods of PRUVIT are approved or licensed or supported by any governmental authority or are classified by any law firm to be legally secure.
-
Due to strict regulations regarding the advertising of dietary supplements and cosmetic products, only the advertising material offered on the PRUVIT website or in the back office or elsewhere by the company can be used. It should be recommended that any customer who is currently undergoing medical treatment should consult their doctor before changing their diet. No statements regarding the safety of the products, their therapeutic or healing effects may be made in the course of the activity and advertising, unless they are officially approved by PRUVIT and/or are included in PRUVIT 's official advertising material. Furthermore, the Promoters are not allowed to suggest that PRUVIT products can be used to treat, prevent, diagnose or cure diseases. PRUVIT also prohibits any statement regarding medical effects of PRUVIT products. For example, the Promoter may not claim that PRUVIT 's goods help to treat diabetes, heart disease, cancer or other diseases.

§ 10 Sponsoring / Promoter Protection / No Territorial Protection
-
The Sponsor is the person who introduces a Promoter or Customer to PRUVIT, helps them complete their enrollment, and supports and trains those in their downline.
-
PRUVIT recognize the Sponsor as the name shown on an applicant’s first enrollment submission to PRUVIT.
-
An applicant may not enroll with PRUVIT as a Promoter without personally accepting and agreeing to these Terms and Conditions and Policies.
-
PRUVIT recognize that each new prospect has the right to ultimately choose his or her own Sponsor, but PRUVIT will not allow Promoters to engage in unethical Sponsoring activities.
-
All active Promoters 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 Promoter has approached the same prospect. In this scenario, the new prospect should be Sponsored by the first Promoter who presented a comprehensive introduction to PRUVIT products or business opportunity.
-
To that active Promoter, who acquires a new Promoter for the first time for the sale of PRUVIT products, the new Promoter is assigned to his structure in accordance with the compensation plan and the placement requirements regulated there or separately (Promoter protection, placement lounge), whereby the date and time of receipt of the registration application from the new Promoter at PRUVIT is valid for the allocation. It is in general not possible to change the "placement position" of a directly or indirectly sponsored partner.
-
In the event of a dispute regarding Sponsorship, PRUVIT reserves the right to designate a prospect’s Sponsor and all such determinations are final.
-
- In the event a Promoter discovers that a Promoter in their downline has re-enrolled under a different Promoter, the Promoter has thirty (30) days from the date the downline Promoter enrolled under a new Promoter to notify the PRUVIT Compliance department and request the downline Promoter be transferred back to his/her downline. Upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period, the right to re-claim a new Promoter to his or her downline will be waived.
- Change of Sponsors or Placement for Promoters
- Placement changes/corrections may be requested within seventy-two (72) hours from the time a first order is placed in connection with the requesting Promoter’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 Promoter to be moved and in some cases the Upline Promoter.
- 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 Promoter’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.
- At the discretion of PRUVIT, Promoters 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.
- When a former Promoter re-enrolls with PRUVIT, PRUVIT will “compress” (close) the Promoter’s original Account and a new PRUVIT User ID number be issued to the Promoter. In this scenario, a Promoter does not retain former rank, downline Organization, or rights to commissions from the Promoter’s former PRUVIT business or Account.
- PRUVIT reserves the right to correct Sponsor or Placement errors at any time and in whatever manner it deems necessary in its sole discretion.
- Change of Organizations
- If a Promoter wishes to change Organizations within PRUVIT, the Promoter must submit a notice of voluntary termination to the PRUVIT Compliance Department in accordance with Section (6) 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.
- PRUVIT retains the right to approve or deny any request to re-enroll after a Promoter’s termination. Promoters within the same downline Organization simultaneously submitting notices of voluntary termination to transfer Organizations in accordance with Section 4.7 (a) will be deemed an abuse of these Policies.
- If re-enrollment is approved, the former Promoter will be issued a new PRUVIT User ID after accepting and agreeing to the terms of the Pruver Agreement in effect at that time. The re-enrolled Promoter will not be entitled to keep any former rank, downline, or rights to commissions associated with the Promoter’s prior PRUVIT User ID/Account.
- Placement Lounge
- When a Promoter personally enrolls Promoters or Customers, they are automatically placed in the Promoter’s Placement Lounge as described in the specific Addendum attached hereto, for up to six (6) months.
- Promoter has up to six (6) months to place the new Promoter or Customer into an open position in their Organization placement tree. Upon the expiration of six (6) months this option expires indefinitely. Once a Promoter or Customer in the Placement Lounge has been placed, they cannot be moved again.
- Promoter may 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:
-
Statement of the Promoter’s intent to terminate the Account;
-
Date of termination;
-
Promoter’s PRUVIT User ID;
-
Reason(s) for terminating the Account; and
-
Promoter’s signature.
-
- A Promoter may not use voluntary Account termination as a way to immediately change Sponsor or Placement. A Promoter 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 Promoter who promotes PRUVIT products or services during this six (6) month waiting period by using another Promoter’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.
- PRUVIT is entitled to delete all personal data including the e-mail address of a sponsored Promoter from its system if mailings, cover letters or e-mails with the endorsements "moved", "deceased", "not accepted", "unknown" or similar are returned, and the new recruited Promoter or the Sponsor does not correct the incorrect data of the newly recruited Promoter within a reasonable period of 14 days. If PRUVIT incur costs due to the undeliverable advertising mail and packages, it is entitled to reclaim the costs, unless the faulty delivery was not caused by the Promoter.
- Furthermore, crossline sponsoring and any attempt to do so within the company is prohibited. Crossline sponsoring means the acquisition of an individual person or corporation or a partnership who is already a Promoter of PRUVIT in another distribution channel or who had a Promoter contract within the last 6 months. In this respect, it is also prohibited to use the name of the spouse, relationship, trade name, corporations, partnerships, trust companies or other third parties to circumvent this provision.
- Bonus manipulations are prohibited. This includes in particular the sponsoring of Promoters who actually do not carry out the PRUVIT business at all (so-called straw men), do not exist, as well as open or veiled multiple registrations. In this respect, it is also prohibited to use the name of the spouse, relationship, trade name, corporations, partnerships, trust companies or other third parties to circumvent this provision. It is also prohibited to induce Promoters, customers or other third parties to sell or purchase goods in order to achieve a better position in the compensation plan, to manipulate the group bonus; to place new Promoters and/or customers with other Promoters or to otherwise manipulate the bonus.
- The Promoter shall not be entitled to territorial protection.
§ 11 Warning, contractual penalty, damages, release from liability
-
It is the spirit of PRUVIT that integrity and fairness should pervade among its Promoters, 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 a Promoter has violated the Pruver Agreement, as may be amended from time to time by PRUVIT in accordance herewith.
-
Consequences and Remedies of Breach
Disciplinary actions may include one or more of the following:
-
Monitoring a Promoter’s conduct over a specified period of time to assure compliance;
-
Alerting the Promoter’s Upline so that the Upline may further educate Promoter and/or take proactive action to protect the PRUVIT community form cross-Recruiting, disparagement, etc.;
-
Issuance of a written warning or requiring the Promoter to take immediate corrective action;
-
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 Promoter to ensure future compliance;
-
Suspension from participation in PRUVIT or Promoter events, rewards, or recognition;
-
Suspension of the Promoter’s Account and position for one or more pay periods;
-
Involuntary termination of the Promoter’s Account and position;
-
Any other measure which PRUVIT deems feasible and appropriate to justly resolve injuries caused by the Promoter’s violation(s); or
-
Legal proceedings for monetary and/or equitable relief.
-
-
Suspension Procedures
-
First Violation: Counseling and initial warning letter. A first violation usually occurs because the Promoter is not familiar with the Policies and Procedures or the law. Counseling and the initial warning provide an opportunity for Compliance Department to bring to the attention of the Promoter the Policies and Procedures and the specific violation, and to provide counseling on complying with the Policies and Procedures and applicable laws. Compliance Department will also describe expectations and steps the Promoter must take to resolve the violation including, but not limited to, either removing or revising the non-compliant claim or how to remedy other violations. Within three days of this notice, Compliance will determine if the non-compliant material or other policy violation has been remediated. If so, Compliance will close the file. If not, Compliance will proceed to Second Violation notice described below.
-
Second Violation: Second warning letter and suspension. Although it is hoped that the Promoter 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 suspension of the Promoter’s Account. During the suspension period, the Promoter waives any and all rights to Pay-Out of any bonuses or commissions and must submit a signed a reinstatement letter wherein the Promoter 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 Promoter may request a Pay-Out. The Promoter may be subject to additional discipline up to and including termination if a violation is not cured or further violation(s) occur.
-
Third Violation: Suspension and final written warning. Repeated violation(s) of the Policies and Procedures is very problematic and potentially harmful. Therefore, the most effective and prudent action is suspension of the Promoter and forfeiture of commissions and bonuses associated with the offending Promoter’s Account. The final written warning letter will include notification of such suspension, action needed to cure the violation(s), and an indication that if the Promoter violates the Policies and Procedures again, the Promoter’s Account will be terminated immediately.
-
Fourth Violation: Termination. 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 commissions forfeiture before proceeding to termination of the Promoter’s PRUVIT Account. PRUVIT will notify the Promoter in writing if/when the Account is terminated.
-
PRUVIT reserves the right to combine and omit steps depending on the circumstances of each situation and the nature of the violation. Furthermore, Promoter may be terminated without prior notice or disciplinary action, as authorized by the Policies and Procedures.
-
- Explicitly reference is made to § 16 (2), to which PRUVIT is entitled to extraordinary termination without prior warning in the event of a breach of the duties regulated in §§ 8, 9 and 10 (9) and (10), 18 and 19 as well as in the event of a particularly serious breach of the duties regulated in § 7, other applicable contractual or statutory law, but is also entitled to take the measures pursuant to § 11 (1) at its own discretion in the event of a first breach of duty. Notwithstanding the immediate, extraordinary right of termination regulated in § 16 (2), PRUVIT has the right in individual cases upon occurrence of one of the above-mentioned breaches of duty to issue a warning in the sense of paragraph (1) at its own free discretion before issuing the extraordinary notice of termination, also with a shortened period for rectification.
- If the same or a similar violation occurs again after the expiry of the deadline set by the warning, or if the originally warned violation is not remedied, a contractual penalty, which is at the discretion of PRUVIT and in the event of a dispute is to be reviewed by the competent court, shall become due immediately. For the assertion of the contractual penalty, additional attorney's fees are also incurred, which the Promoter is obliged to reimburse. Notwithstanding the forfeited contractual penalty, the Promoter is also liable for all damages incurred by PRUVIT through a breach of duty by the Promoter, unless the Promoter is not responsible for the breach of duty.
- The Promoter 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. Promoters shall indemnify and hold harmless PRUVIT on first request, 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 Promoter’s unauthorized representations or actions, breach of one of the obligations under the contract or any other breach of the law by the Promoter. This provision shall survive the termination of the PRUVIT Agreement and a PRUVIT Account.
- Insurance
PRUVIT encourages Promoters to obtain insurance coverage for their PRUVIT business. A homeowner’s insurance policy does for example not cover business related injuries, or the theft of, or damage to, inventory or business equipment. Promoters should contact their insurance agent to make certain their business property and activities are protected.
§ 12 Dispute Resolution
-
Grievances Against Another Promoter
-
If a PRUVIT Promoter has a grievance or complaint against another Promoter 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.
-
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 Promoters involved.
-
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 Promoters 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.
-
PRUVIT does not consider, enforce, or mediate third party agreements between Promoters, nor does it provide names, funding, or advice for obtaining outside legal counsel.
-

Mediating Disputes Between a Promoter and PRUVIT
-
The Promoter 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.
-
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.
-
The mediator shall not be a legal representative of any party.

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.
-
Each Party will pay its own costs and expense of the mediation unless the Parties agree otherwise.
-
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.

Specific regulations for ITALY for the purpose of transparency
The commission to be paid to the Promoter (Incaricati) is calculated on the basis of the specific sales contract (and here the net sales price is used as the basis for calculating the commission), which was concluded, accepted and fulfilled between PRUVIT - respective the Service Partner / Fulfillment Partner in Italy and the end customer promoted by the Promoter (Incaricati).
-
-
A successful brokerage in the sense of (1) of this contract is only deemed to exist if the contractual relationship between the Customer and PRUVIT has been effectively established. Furthermore, a claim for remuneration arises only when the payment from the Customer is credited to the account of PRUVIT and all other conditions for payment are fulfilled.
-
In particular, a claim for commission shall not arise if

the customer makes use of his right of withdrawal,
-
the contract is contested by the customer in a legally effective manner,
-
the customer order has come into existence unlawfully,
-
PRUVIT refuses to accept the contract,

Special regulation for ITALY
Article 3 of Law No 173/2005 [Legge N. 173/2005] states that the activity of a Promoter (incaricato) is to be considered "occasional", if the annual income derived from this activity does not exceed EUR 5.000,-- net per year.
The "occasional" basis of the activity as a Promoter (incaricato) implies that all remuneration paid to the Promoter (incaricato) by PRUVIT respective by the Fulfillment Partner in Italy is not subject to VAT. If the annual income of the Promoter (Incaricato) exceeds EUR 5.000, -- net, the Promoter must immediately obtain a VAT number from the relevant tax authority. As soon as the Promoter (Incaricato) has been allocated a VAT number, his activity is considered "habitual".
The Promoter (Incaricato) then undertakes to inform PRUVIT respective the Fulfillment Partner in Italy immediately about the closure of its VAT position/blocking of its VAT number. The same applies to changes regarding his VAT position/ VAT number. In case of closing of the mentioned VAT position/blocking of the VAT number this automatically leads to the termination of the activity as a distribution partner (Incaricato) for PRUVIT, if the annual income exceeds the amount of EUR 5.000, -- net; and PRUVIT resp. the Fulfillment Partner in Italy will terminate the contract with the distribution partner (Incaricato) extraordinarily. In addition, if the annual income exceeds EUR 5.000, -- net, the Promoter (Incaricato) shall, within 30 (thirty) days, register with Gestione Separata
I.N.P.S. [INPS Special Administration] and notify PRUVIT respective the Fulfillment Partner in Italy of the registration including all relevant data, including the amount of social security contributions to be paid.
If the Promoter (Incaricato) carries out a "door-to-door home sales" activity for another company, he/she is obliged to immediately report the activity, including the annual gross income, as soon as he/she has the relevant information.
-
-
Commissions of the Promoter are credited weekly and paid out at the end of the following month and can, unless a different account has been expressly accepted separately in writing by PRUVIT, only be paid out to accounts which are in his name or in the name of a partnership or a corporation which has a contractual relationship with PRUVIT (in Italy: with the respective fulfillment partner). Payments to third-party accounts or to third-party bank accounts cannot be made.
-
The contracting parties agree that no claims to a higher commission than that on which this contract is based on do exist or can be asserted. The commission shall cover all claims of the Promoter, in particular all travel costs, expenses, office costs, telephone costs or other expenses for advertising material, as well as all other costs in connection with the performance of the contract. With the payment of the remuneration according to (1) all services of the Promoter are furthermore compensated, in particular also for the production and care of the Promoter stock, the customer base as well as the resulting future market potential and exist in the sense of an advance payment for this, so that in case of termination of the contract, by whichever party for whatever reason, no compensation and/or compensation claims for whatever legal reason are to be paid by PRUVIT . Reference is expressly made to § 16 (5).
-
PRUVIT is entitled to assert a right of retention within the scope of the statutory provisions. Furthermore, PRUVIT is entitled to assert a right of retention to the payment of commissions in case not all contractually or legally required documents are not provided before the first payment. In the event of the exercise of the right of retention of commission payments on the part of PRUVIT, it is agreed that the Promoter is not entitled to interest for the period of the retention of commission.
-
PRUVIT is entitled to set off claims, which PRUVIT is entitled to against the Promoter, e.g. due to product returns, cancellations, customer objections pp., with the latter's commission claims in whole or in part, whereby the set-off is usually made in the month of the back posting due to the product returns, cancellations, customer objections.
-
Assignments and pledging of claims of the Promoter arising out this Promoter contract are excluded, as far as this is not contrary to mandatory law. The encumbrance of the contract with rights of third parties is not permitted, as far as this does not contradict the mandatory law.
-
The Promoter shall check the issued statements of account as soon as possible and notify PRUVIT immediately of any objections. All commission claims result from the respectively valid remuneration plan, which the Promoter can call up in his back office and which can be viewed in the back office. Faulty commissions, bonuses or other payment are to be communicated to PRUVIT in writing within 60 days starting from reservation of the incorrect payment. After this time the commissions, bonuses or other payment are considered as approved.
-
The commissions are paid out monthly at the request of the Promoter, considering PRUVIT payment modalities and payment methods. PRUVIT reserves the right to transfer commissions only from a total amount of 25.00 €. In the event that the minimum payout amount is not reached, the commission claims will be continued on the business account held by PRUVIT for the Promoter and paid out to the Promoter in the month following the minimum payout amount.
§ 15 Blocking of the Promoter
-
In the event the Promoter does not provide the requested evidence within 30 days of becoming aware of the requirements for payment of remuneration or commission advances or other payment, PRUVIT is entitled to temporarily block the Promoter in the PRUVIT system until the required records/documents have been provided. The period of a blockage does not entitle the Promoter to extraordinary termination and does not cause a claim for repayment of the already paid starter fees or any other claim for damages, unless the Promoter is not responsible for the blockage.
-
For each case of reminder of documents not submitted etc. in the sense of (1) after pronouncement of the block PRUVIT is entitled to reimbursement of the costs necessary for this reminder.
-
Remunerations or commission advances or other payments, which cannot be paid out due to the reasons mentioned above, are booked by PRUVIT as a non-interest-bearing reserve and become time-barred at the latest within the statutory limitation periods.
-
Irrespective of the reasons for blocking mentioned in paragraph (1), PRUVIT reserves the right to block the account for important reason. PRUVIT reserves in particular the right to block the access of the Promoter to the back office and other system of PRUVIT without notice if the Promoter violates the obligations set out in §§ 7 - 9 and § 10 paragraphs 9 and 10, or any other applicable law. The blockage remains in force until the breach of duty has been remedied following a corresponding warning from PRUVIT. If it is a serious breach of duty, which leads to the extraordinary termination of the contractual relationship, the blockage remains permanently in force.
§ 16 Duration of contract, termination of contract
-
The contract is agreed for an indefinite period and can be terminated at any time by submitting a written notice via email to the PRUVIT Compliance Department at compliance@pruvithq.com The written notice must include the following:

If the Promoter does not pay the aforementioned fee within 60 days grace period after the due date of the Service Fee and/or no debit from the credit account is possible, the contract will be terminated by PRUVIT without further notice at that time.
-
-
Irrespective of the reason for termination in (1), both parties have the right to terminate the distribution partner agreement for good cause. An important reason for termination by PRUVIT is also a violation of one of the obligations regulated in § 7 with which a Promoter does not fulfil its obligation to remedy the violation in the sense of § 11 paragraph (1) in due time or if the same or a comparable violation occurs again at a later point in time after the remedy of the violation. In the event of a breach of the obligations regulated in §§ 8, 9 and 10 (9) and (10), 18 or 19 as well as in the event of a particularly serious breach of the contractual or statutory law applicable in § 7 or otherwise, PRUVIT is entitled to extraordinary termination without prior warning. Furthermore, a reason for extraordinary termination exists for each party if insolvency proceedings have been opened against the other party, or the opening has been rejected due to lack of assets, or the other party is otherwise insolvent, or has made an affidavit in lieu of an oath of insolvency in the course of the execution. The right to extraordinary termination shall be without prejudice to further claims.

Special regulations for ITALY

-
-
Notices of termination will only be accepted in written form, whereby an ordinary notice of termination can also be sent by e-mail, provided that it contains the name, address and ID number of the Promoter.
-
If a Promoter at the same time claims other services from PRUVIT independent of the Promoter contract, these services remain unaffected by the termination of the Promoter contract unless the Promoter expressly demands their termination with the termination. If the Promoter continues to purchase services from PRUVIT after the termination of the contract, he will be treated as a regular end customer as far and if possible.
-
In the event of premature termination of a contract with a minimum term, there is no entitlement to a refund of the costs for the activation or service fee, unless the Promoter has effectively terminated the contract extraordinarily for an important reason.
