1.2 Code of Ethics

1. Ketones NZ desires to provide its Independent Promoters with the best products and services and Compensation Plan in the industry. Accordingly, Ketones NZ values constructive criticism and encourages the submission of written comments addressed to Ketones NZ’s Compliance Department.
2. Promoter’s negative and disparaging comments about Ketones NZ, its products, these Policies, or Compensation Plan, made to Ketones NZ, or to the field or at any Ketones NZ 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. Promoters must not belittle Ketones NZ, fellow Promoters, Ketones NZ products or services, the Compensation Plan, or any and all Ketones NZ 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 Promoter’s Account.
3. Ketones NZ endorses the following code of ethics:
1. A Promoter must show fairness, tolerance, and respect to all people associated with Ketones NZ, regardless of race, gender, social class, or religion, thereby fostering a “positive atmosphere” of teamwork, good morale, and community spirit.
2. A Promoter shall strive to resolve business disputes, including conflicts or disagreements with Upline and/or downline Organization Promoters with tact, sensitivity, and goodwill; and taking care not to create additional conflict.
3. Promoters must be honest, responsible, professional, and conduct themselves with integrity.
4. Promoters shall not make disparaging statements about Ketones NZ, other Promoters, Ketones NZ employees, product suppliers or agents, products, services, sales and marketing campaigns, or the Compensation Plan.
5. Promoters shall not make statements that unreasonably offend, mislead or coerce others.
4. Ketones NZ may take appropriate action against a Promoter if it determines, in its sole discretion, that a Promoter’s conduct is detrimental, disruptive, or injurious to Ketones NZ or to other Promoters.

1. Ketones NZ Policies and Procedures; and
2. Ketones NZ Compensation Plan.

It is the responsibility of the Sponsoring Promoter to provide the most current version of these Policies and Procedures (available on the shopketo.com/nz website), the Income Disclosure Statement, the Compensation Plan, and any and all social media guidelines or any other guidelines which may be implemented from time to time and any amendments thereto to their downline Promoters and prospects. The Income Disclosure Statement is attached hereto as Addendum 2 and is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

BASIC PRINCIPLES

2.1 Becoming A Promoter

To become a Promoter, 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 New Zealand in which Company 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 Company 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 Company, (including but not limited to emails, texts, broadcasts, letters, etc.) with choice to "opt-out" of these communications.

2.2 New Promoter Enrollment

1. A potential new Promoter may self-enroll on any Promoter/Sponsor’s website, subject to acceptance by Company of the applicant’s online enrollment confirming the applicant has agreed to all terms and conditions of the Promoter Agreement.
2. Electronically submitted and/or signed documents, including, but not limited to, online submissions, automated credit card processing authorization documents, and the Promoter 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 Promoter’s Account.
3. An applicant enrolling with Ketones NZ must identify a Sponsor in the online enrollment process. If the applicant later enrolls and identifies a different Sponsor, Company will not accept the later enrollment. Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make the final decision with respect to any disputes regarding Promoter enrollments, Sponsors, and Placements.

PROMOTER RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Correct Address

1. It is the responsibility of the Promoter or Customer to make sure Ketones NZ has the correct shipping address before any orders are shipped.
2. A Promoter 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 Company’s Support Team.

3.2 Training and Leadership

1. Sponsoring Promoters should have ongoing contact and communication with the Promoters in their downline Organization. Examples of communication may include but are not limited to, newsletters, written correspondence, personal telephone calls, team conference calls, voicemail, e-mail, personal meetings, training sessions, events, workshops, and any other related contact.
2. A Sponsoring Promoter should monitor the Promoters in his or her downline Organization to ensure that downline Promoters do not make improper product or business claims or engage in any illegal or inappropriate conduct. Upon request, a Sponsoring Promoter must provide documented evidence to Company of his or her ongoing fulfillment of responsibilities set forth in this Section 3.2.
3. Up line Promoters are encouraged to educate and train new Promoters about Company’s products and services, effective sales techniques, the Compensation Plan, compliance with these Policies and Procedures, and any and all social media guidelines or any other guidelines issued by Company. Marketing product is a required activity in Ketones NZ and must be emphasized in all Recruiting presentations.
4. Use of Sales Aids. To promote Ketones NZ products and the Ketones NZ business opportunity, Promoters are encouraged to use the sales aids and support materials produced or expressly authorized by Company. Promoters may use and publish marketing materials they design only after such materials have been approved by Company. A Promoter’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 Company’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 Ketones NZ Account. Any such violations could jeopardize the Ketone NZ opportunity for all Promoters. Accordingly, Promoters must submit via email all sales aids, promotional materials, advertisements, websites, training material, flyers, along with any other literature to Company’s Compliance Department for approval prior to use at compliance@pruvithq.com. Unless the Promoter receives written approval to use the submitted material(s), the request shall be deemed denied. All Promoters shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of Ketones NZ and its products. The marketing and promotion of Ketones NZ, the business opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and Company 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 or Customer to Ketones NZ, helps them complete their enrollment, and supports and trains those in their downline.
2. Company recognizes the Sponsor as the name shown on an applicant’s first enrollment submission to Ketones NZ.
3. An applicant may not enroll with Ketones NZ as a Promoter without personally accepting and agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Promoter Agreement.
4. Company recognizes that each new prospect has the right to ultimately choose his or her own Sponsor, but Company will not allow Promoters to engage in unethical Sponsoring activities.
5. All active Promoters in good standing have the right to Sponsor and enroll others into Ketones NZ. 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 Company products or business opportunity.
6. In the event of a dispute regarding Sponsorship, Company 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 Promoter away from a fellow Promoter or influencing another Promoter to transfer to a different Sponsor.
2. Allegations of unethical sponsoring must be reported in writing to the Ketones NZ Compliance Department within the first 30 days of the new Promoter enrollment in question. If reports of unethical sponsoring are substantiated, Company may transfer the Promoter or the Promoter’s downline to another Sponsor or Organization without approval from the current up-line Sponsor. Company remains the final authority in such cases.
3. Ketones NZ prohibits the unauthorized manipulation of the Ketone NZ Compensation Plan and/or marketing plan to trigger commissions or cause the promotion of a downline Promoter in an unearned manner (hereinafter, “Stacking.”). For example, Stacking occurs when a Sponsor places Promoter(s) under an inactive downline without the Promoter’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 Promoters, individuals, and/or entities found to be involved.
4. Any Promoter who solicits or entices members of another direct sales company to sell or distribute Ketones NZ products and services bears the risk of being sued by the other direct sales company. If any lawsuit, arbitration, or mediation is brought against a Promoter alleging that they engaged in inappropriate Recruiting of another company’s sales force or customers, Ketones NZ will not pay any of Promoter’s defense costs or legal fees, nor will Ketones NZ indemnify the Promoter 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 a Promoter. Actual or attempted cross Sponsoring is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of the offending Promoter’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 Promoter Account and business in accordance with Transfer of Sale or Transfer Policy set forth in these Policies.

3.6 Solicitation for Other Companies or Products

1. During the term of the Promoter Agreement and for six (6) months thereafter, a Promoter may not Recruit any fellow Ketones NZ Promoter or Customer for any direct sales or network marketing business, unless that fellow Promoter or Customer was personally Sponsored by such Promoter.
2. During the term of the Promoter Agreement, a Promoter must not sell, Recruit, or entice others to sell, any Competing Products to Ketones NZ Customers or Promoters.
3. A Promoter may not display or bundle Ketones NZ products or services with any non-Ketones NZ opportunity, product, or service in any sales or marketing materials or meetings, online or otherwise, to avoid confusing or misleading a prospective Customer or Promoter into believing there is a relationship between the Ketones NZ and non-Ketones NZ products and services.
4. A Promoter may not offer any non-Ketone NZ opportunity, product or service, educational or otherwise, at any Company-related meeting, live or virtual, event, seminar or convention that other Ketones NZ Promoters or Customers are known to be attending, or immediately following any such event. This prohibition includes charging admission to any opportunity or business building events/parties, educational event, seminar, webinar, or convention put on by the Promoter, unless it is a pre-approved, Company-sanctioned even (e.g., Playbook). Furthermore, Promoters may not sell any “swag” (shakers, shirts, etc.) at Promoter events/parties that is not a branded, authentic product of Company.
5. A Promoter shall not engage in any business-related training, including but not limited to, sales training, marketing training, multi-level marketing or direct sales training, or any similar type of training or educational services to any person or entity outside of the Promoter’s sales Organization, without prior written authorization from Company. Any Promoter seeking authorization to conduct training under this provision must submit a written request to Compliance@Pruvithq.com that fully describes the nature of training, the training curriculum, the date of the proposed training, remuneration if any, and the people or entity that will receive the training. Any approval granted by Ketones NZ terminates at the conclusion of the specific training event described in Promoter’s written request and Promoter must seek approval under this provision for any and all future training events.
6. A Promoter may not offer or advertise any non-Ketones NZ opportunity, product or service via Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform even if the offer of advertisement is separate and distinct from their personal social media page or their Ketones NZ social media page.
7. A violation of any of the provisions in this section shall constitute unreasonable and unwarranted contractual interference between Ketones NZ and its Promoters and will inflict irreparable harm on Ketones NZ. In such event, Ketones NZ may, at its sole discretion, impose any sanction it deems necessary and appropriate against the Promoter including termination of the offending Promoter’s Account, and/or seeking immediate injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond in addition to any other legal remedies that Ketones NZ may be entitled.

2. a minimum of 5 SmartShip orders is not placed by the Promoter’s personally Sponsored Customer or Promoter in a calendar month.

1. A Promoter must pay a membership fee upon enrolling with Company and a membership renewal fee 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 Ketones NZ 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.
2. If a Promoter pays the membership renewal fee after it is due but within the sixty (60) day grace period set forth in section 4.3(a) above, 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.

4.4 Effect of Termination

1. Following voluntary or involuntary termination of a Promoter Account (collectively, “termination”) such Promoter:
1. Shall have no right, title, claim, or interest to any commission or bonus, including Pruvit points, from the sales generated by the Promoter’s former Organization or any other payments in association with the Promoter’s terminated Account;
2. Effectively waives any and all claims to property rights or any interest in or to the Promoter’s former downline Organization and Account; and
3. Shall receive commissions and bonuses only for the last full pay period in which the Promoter 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 Company.

4.5 Modifying a Promoter’s Account

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

4.6 Unauthorized Transfer & Re-Enrollment

1. 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 Ketones NZ 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.

4.7 Change of Sponsors or Placement for Promoters

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 Promoter’s Account. Such adjustments require written permission directed to Company’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.
2. Sponsor changes are generally not permitted. However, Sponsor corrections can be made if they are reported to Company’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.
3. At the discretion of Ketones NZ, Promoters who have not ordered Ketones NZ products or services for at least twelve (12) months, and whose Account has not been terminated, are eligible to re-enroll in Ketones NZ under the Sponsor/Placement of their choice.
4. When a former Promoter re-enrolls with Ketones NZ, Company will “compress” (close) the Promoter’s original Account, and a new Ketones NZ 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 Ketones NZ business or Account.
5. Ketones NZ reserves the right to correct Sponsor or Placement errors at any time and in whatever manner it deems necessary in its sole discretion.

4.8 Change of Organizations

1. If a Promoter wishes to change Organizations within Ketones NZ, the Promoter must submit a notice of voluntary termination to the Company Compliance Department in accordance with Section 4.10 below, and remain inactive (place no orders, or be on an auto-ship) with or in Company for six (6) months from the date Company acknowledges receipt of the notice before being eligible to re-enroll under a different Sponsor/Placement.
2. Company 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 4.8 (a) will be deemed an abuse of these Policies.
3. If re-enrollment is approved, the former Promoter will be issued a new Ketones NZ User ID after accepting and agreeing to the terms of the Promoter 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 Ketones NZ User ID/Account.

4.9 Placement Lounge

1. When a Promoter personally enrolls Promoters or Customers, they are automatically placed in the Promoter’s Placement Lounge as described in Addendum 2 attached hereto, for up to six (6) months.
2. 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.

4.10 Voluntary Termination

1. A Promoter may immediately terminate his or her Account and Ketones NZ business associated therewith by submitting a written notice via email to the Company Compliance Department at compliance@pruvithq.com. The written notice must include the following:

2. Date of termination;
3. Promoter’s Company User ID;
4. Reason(s) for terminating the Account; and
5. Promoter’s signature.
2. 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 Ketones NZ or have any financial interest in a or any Ketones NZ business for six (6) months from Company’s receipt of the written notice of termination. A terminated Promoter who promotes Ketones NZ 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.

4.11 Involuntary Termination

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

BUSINESS ENTITIES

1. A corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust (collectively, a “Business Entity”) may enroll as a Promoter.

5.2 Indemnification for Actions

1. A Promoter is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal and written communications made regarding Ketones NZ products, services, and the Compensation Plan that are not expressly contained within official Company materials. Promoters shall indemnify and hold harmless Company, 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 Company as a result of the Promoter’s unauthorized representations or actions. This provision shall survive the termination of the Promoter Agreement and a Ketones NZ Account.

5.3 Insurance

1. Ketones NZ encourages Promoters to obtain insurance coverage for their Ketones NZ business. A homeowner’s insurance policy does 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 is protected. In many instances, this may be accomplished with a “Business Pursuit” endorsement to an existing homeowner’s policy.

6.6 Actions of Household Members or Affiliated Parties

If any member of a Promoter’s immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed by the Promoter, would violate any provision of the Promoter Agreement, such activity will be deemed a violation by the Promoter and Company may take disciplinary action pursuant to these Policies and Procedures against the Promoter. Similarly, if any individual associated in any way with a Business Entity violates the Promoter Agreement, such action(s) will be deemed a violation by the Business Entity, and Company may take disciplinary action against the Business Entity. Likewise, if a Promoter 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 Promoter Agreement.

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 Ketones NZ business whereby the relinquishing Spouse, shareholder, partner, member, or trustee (“Relinquishing Party”) authorizes Company to deal directly and solely with the non-Relinquishing Party.
2. The parties may continue to operate the Ketones NZ business jointly on a “business as usual” basis.

2. Company recognizes only one downline Organization and will issue only one commission payment transfer per Ketones NZ Account per commission cycle. Under no circumstances will the downline of an Organization be divided, nor will Company split commissions and/or bonuses.
3. If a Relinquishing Party has completely relinquished, in writing, all rights to the original Ketones business and Account, the Relinquishing Party may immediately thereafter re-enroll under the Sponsor and Placement of his or her choice.

The Successor must:
1. Accept and agree to all terms of the Promoter Agreement;
2. Comply with the terms and provisions of the Promoter Agreement; and
3. Meet all of the qualifications for the last rank achieved by the former Promoter.
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 Company 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 highest rank or volume achieved.
4. If a Ketones NZ business is bequeathed to joint devisees, they must form a Business Entity and acquire a Federal Tax ID (EIN). Company will issue all bonus and commission payments to the managing Business Entity only.
5. Appropriate legal documentation must be submitted to Company Compliance Department to ensure the transfer is done properly. To affect a testamentary transfer of a Company business, the Successor must provide the following to Company Compliance Department:

9. Upon written request, Company may grant a one (1) month bereavement waiver and pay out at the last “paid as” rank.

 

DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS

7.1 Imposition of Disciplinary Action - Purpose

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

7.2 Consequences and Remedies of Breach

1. Disciplinary actions may include one or more of the following:
1. Monitoring a Promoter’s conduct over a specified period of time to assure compliance;
2. Alerting the Promoter’s upline so that the upline may further educate Promoter and/or take proactive action to protect the Ketones NZ community from cross-recruiting, disparagement, etc.;
3. Issuance of a written warning or requiring the Promoter 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 Company receives adequate additional assurances from the Promoter to ensure future compliance;
5. Suspension from participation in Company or Promoter events, rewards, or recognition;
6. Suspension of the Promoter Agreement and position for one or more pay periods;
7. Involuntary termination of the Promoter’s Agreement and position;
8. Any measure or combination of measures above which Company deems feasible and appropriate to justly resolve injuries caused by the Promoter’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 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 policy violations. Within three days of such notice, Compliance Department will determine if the non-compliant material or other policy violation has been remediated. If so, Compliance Department will close the file. If not, 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 Promoter will promptly correct the violation(s), Company 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 Promoter’s account. During the suspension period, the Promoter waives any and all rights to Pay-Out and must submit a signed 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 Company, the suspension will be lifted and the Promoter will be able to request a Pay-Out. The Promoter may be subject to additional discipline up to and including termination if the violation is not remedied or further violations occur.
3. Third Violation: Suspension and final written warning.
1. Repeated violations 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 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 Promoter violates the Policies and Procedures again, the Promoter will be terminated immediately.
4. Fourth Violation: Termination.
1. As described above, Company 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 Account. Company will notify the Promoter in writing if/when the Account is terminated.
2. Company 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.

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. Promoter calls, letters, and requests for “progress reports” during the course of the investigation will not be answered or returned.
6. Company will make a final decision and timely notify the Promoters involved.

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

3. Each Promoter commits to personally use, sell, or use in business building at least seventy percent (70%) of every order placed with Company prior to placing another order, and must be able to certify as much if demanded by Company or by any regulatory agency.

4. If the call/fax is to family members, personal friends, and acquaintances. However, if a Promoter 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
