A. Purpose. PrimeMyBody is a direct sales company that markets its products through Independent Brand Partners. It is important to understand that your success, and the success of your fellow Independent Brand Partners, depends on the integrity of the men and women who market our products and services. To clearly define the relationship that exists between Independent Brand Partners and PrimeMyBody, and to explicitly set a standard for acceptable business conduct, PrimeMyBody has established the Agreement.
B. Compliance. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners are required to comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, as well as all federal, state, and local laws governing their PrimeMyBody business and their conduct.

It explains and governs the relationship between you, as an independent contractor and the Company. Please note that the Company and/or its third party administrators charge ongoing fees for the processing and issuance of commissions and bonuses which will be deducted from your commission payments.

3. Code of Ethics:
PrimeMyBody is a values-based company that prides itself on the quality and character of its Independent Brand Partners. The following guidelines help ensure a uniform standard of excellence throughout our organization. Every PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner is required to practice the following ethical behavior when acting in the name of the Company:
• I will be respectful of every person I meet while doing PrimeMyBody related business.
• At all times I will conduct myself and my business in an ethical, moral, legal and financially sound manner. I will not engage in activities that would bring disrepute to PrimeMyBody, any PrimeMyBody corporate officer, employee or consultant, myself, or other Independent Brand Partners.
• I will not imply or state that PrimeMyBody’s Dual Comp Plan or products have been approved or endorsed by any government agency.
• I will not make discouraging, disparaging or untrue statements or claims directed toward the Company, its officers, employees, consultants or other PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners. I will ensure that in all PrimeMyBody business dealings I shall refrain from engaging in negative language and from using any type of slanderous statements, implications or assumptions.
• I will be truthful in my representation of PrimeMyBody products by making no diagnostic, therapeutic, curative or exaggerated claims. I will make it clear that our products do not diagnose, cure, treat, heal or prevent any disease or illness. I understand any claim of cure or treatment is strictly forbidden and may be cause for immediate termination.
• I will clearly, honestly and accurately state the terms of all sales, including price, quality, value, performance, quantity and availability.
• I certify that I have willingly, and with personal knowledge, applied to become a PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner. I have not provided my name and/or personal information to anyone else by which he or she can enroll my name/business/entity as an Independent Brand Partner in my stead.
Furthermore, I will require each prospective Independent Brand Partner I refer to enroll himself or herself via an enrollment method acceptable to PrimeMyBody.

• I will correctly represent all of the commission and bonus plans available through PrimeMyBody and the income potential represented therein. I will explain clearly that new Independent Brand Partners may never earn any income from PrimeMyBody. I will help potential Independent Brand Partners understand that any compensation that they may receive from PrimeMyBody will be largely based upon their individual efforts, the amount of time they spend developing their PrimeMyBody business as well as their individual talents; there are no financial guarantees. I understand I may not use my own income or that of my upline as an indication of other’s potential success, or use compensation statements as marketing materials; this is forbidden and may be cause for immediate termination.
• I will not make negative, disrespectful or misleading comments or comparisons of other direct sales (or MLM or network marketing) companies or their products or services. I shall not take unfair advantage of the goodwill attached to the trade name and symbol of any company, business, product or service.
• I will not engage in any deceptive, false, unethical or unlawful consumer or recruiting practice.
• I will not make any statements, promises or testimonials that are likely to mislead Customers or prospective Independent Brand Partners.
• I will comply with all requirements of law.
• I will not use the name, likeness or endorsement of any celebrity, professional athlete or other person or entity not approved in writing by PrimeMyBody in the marketing of my PrimeMyBody business in any form, whether it be by word of mouth, or printed material of any type; I understand that this is forbidden and may be cause for immediate termination.
• I accept and will abide by all of PrimeMyBody’s Policies now and as they may be amended in the future.
• I shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of PrimeMyBody and its products. The marketing and promotion of PrimeMyBody, the PrimeMyBody opportunity, the PrimeMyBody Dual Comp Plan, and PrimeMyBody products by me shall be consistent with the public interest, and must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices.
Each PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner must conduct his or her business with the highest standards of honesty and integrity. The Company prohibits an Independent Brand Partner from participating in any activity that is unethical, as determined by the Company, at its sole discretion. Independent Brand Partners shall not make negative, disparaging, untrue or misleading comments about the Company, its owners, directors, officers, employees, consultants, other Independent Brand Partners of the Company or any other company or such company’s products. An Independent Brand Partner may not engage in any activities that may cause harm to the Company or any other Independent Brand Partner of the Company.
4. Your Relationship with the Company

All Independent Brand Partners are responsible for paying local, state, and federal taxes, self-employment and all other applicable taxes due from all compensation earned as an Independent Brand Partner of the Company. You must obey any federal, state, and local laws, as well as company rules and regulations pertaining to your Independent PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner Agreement as well as the acquisition, receipt holding, selling, distributing or advertising of PrimeMyBody’s products or opportunity. Each Independent Brand Partner shall establish his or her own goals, hours, and methods of sale, so long as he or she complies with the terms of the Independent Brand Partner Agreement, these Policies, and applicable laws.

The authorized officer, agent or trustee must sign the Independent Brand Partner Agreement. All the shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees, as applicable (the “Principals”), shall agree to abide by PrimeMyBody Policies and Procedures. If any Principal is found to be in violation of the Policies and Procedures, then the entire entity will be considered to be in violation.
G. Marriage Between Established PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners and Independent Brand Partner Positions
If you are an established PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner and you marry another established PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner, each of you may retain your separate Independent Brand Partner positions, as long as they are in the same downline. Please notify PrimeMyBody immediately if you are not in the same downline.
H. Annual Renewal Fee
Except where prohibited by law, you are required to purchase an Active Business Center ($39. USD non-refundable annual fee) at the time of submission of your Independent Brand Partner Agreement to PrimeMyBody. The term of your Independent Brand Partner Agreement is one year from the date of its acceptance by PrimeMyBody. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners must renew their Independent Brand Partner Agreement by paying an annual non-refundable renewal fee of $39 on or before the anniversary date of their Independent Brand Partner Agreement. If a PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner does not renew their Independent Brand Partner Agreement (Active Business Center) by their anniversary date, their total Reward Points would be purged permanently. If your renewal fee is not paid by the anniversary date, your Independent Brand Partner Agreement will be terminated and you will be required to enroll as a new Independent Brand Partner, not retaining the position and / or points that you held originally.
I. Submission of Incorrect or Invalid Information
An Independent Brand Partner Agreement that is incomplete, incorrect, or fraudulent in any respect will be invalid and of no force or effect. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners may only submit an application or enroll in the country of their permanent residence. An applicant or Independent Brand Partner is prohibited from submitting any false or inaccurate information to the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right to immediately terminate the Independent Brand Partner Agreement and declare it void from its inception, if the Company determines that false or inaccurate information was provided by the Independent Brand Partner. If an Independent Brand Partner fails to provide the required documentation, the Company may declare an Independent Brand Partner Agreement void from its inception. An Independent Brand Partner must inform the Company of any changes affecting the accuracy of the Independent Brand Partner’s information provided in the Independent Brand Partner Agreement or Business Entity Form.
J. Amended Independent Brand Partner Agreement Guidelines
Any proposed change to the Independent Brand Partner’s personal information must be submitted on a new Independent Brand Partner Agreement or Business Entity Form with the word “Amended” written across the top, and must be signed by all parties to the Independent Brand Partner Agreement and returned to the Company for approval. The Independent Brand Partner Agreement may not be amended without the express written approval of the Company. The Company may, at its discretion, charge a fee to change any Independent Brand Partner Agreement information, except for a change of address, telephone number, or the correction of clerical errors.
K. Receiving New Independent Brand Partner Agreements Guidelines
PrimeMyBody’s Compliance Department requires that each new Independent Brand Partner complete and submit his or her own Independent Brand Partner Agreement online to ensure expediency in processing, and the easiest way of accomplishing this is through his or her sponsor’s PrimeMyBody replicated site. The enrollment of individuals or entities without their knowledge of and/or execution of an Independent Brand Partner Agreement; or the enrollment or attempted enrollment of non-existent individuals or entities as Independent Brand Partners or retail Customers (phantoms) or other fraudulent enrollments are prohibited. The Company prohibits the use of monetary incentives, promotion prices or bonuses for the purpose of recruiting new Independent Brand Partners. Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner found to be in violation could be subject to termination.
L. Independent Brand Partner Communication Responsibilities
(1) Use of Company-Approved Statements. Independent Brand Partners must use only Company-approved statements when discussing or explaining PrimeMyBody products, business, or the Dual Comp Plan. A PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal and written statements made regarding PrimeMyBody products, services, and the PrimeMyBody Dual Comp Plan, which are not expressly contained in official PrimeMyBody materials
(2) No Medical Claims or Testimonials. No claims or personal testimonials as to therapeutic, curative or beneficial properties of any products offered by PrimeMyBody may be made except those contained in official PrimeMyBody literature. In particular, no PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner may make any claim that PrimeMyBody products are useful in the cure, treatment, diagnosis, mitigation or prevention of any diseases or illnesses. Such statements can be perceived as medical or drug claims. Not only do such claims violate PrimeMyBody Policies but, they violate federal and state laws and regulations, including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and Federal Trade Commission Act. Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner found to be in violation could be subject to termination.
(3) No Earnings Claims. Because PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners do not have the data necessary to comply with the legal requirements for making income claims, an Independent Brand Partner, when presenting or discussing the PrimeMyBody opportunity or the PrimeMyBody Dual Comp Plan to a prospective or existing Independent Brand Partner, may not make income projections, income claims, or disclose his or her PrimeMyBody income (including the showing of checks, copies of checks, bank statements, or tax records). Independent Brand Partners must notify potential referrals that they indeed may earn no income at all. THE COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS, IF ANY, INDIVIDUALS MAY ACHIEVE BY USING ANY COMPANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE. INDIVIDUAL RESULTS MAY VARY AND DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS INCLUDING AN INDIVIDUAL’S SPECIFIC EFFORTS AND ACTIONS. Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner found to be in violation could be subject to termination.
M. Confidential And Proprietary Information
During the term of the Independent Brand Partner Agreement, PrimeMyBody may supply to Independent Brand Partners confidential information, including, but not limited to genealogical reports, Customers lists, Independent Brand Partner lists, Customer and Independent Brand Partner profiles and product purchase information, manufacturer and supplier information, business reports, commission or sales reports and such other financial and business information which PrimeMyBody may deem as confidential. All such information (whether in written or electronic form) is proprietary and confidential to PrimeMyBody and is transmitted to Independent Brand Partners in strictest confidence on a “need to know” basis for use solely in Independent Brand Partners’ business with PrimeMyBody. Independent Brand Partners must use their best efforts to keep such information confidential. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners must not use the information to compete with PrimeMyBody or for any purpose other than promoting PrimeMyBody’s business and its products and services.
N. Internet Domain Name and Email Restrictions
PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners may not use or attempt to register any of PrimeMyBody’s trade names, trademarks, service names, service marks, product names, the Company’s name, or any derivative thereof (“Proprietary Marks”), for any Internet domain name, email address or social media account.
O. Company Material Usage Guidelines
PrimeMyBody will not allow the use of its Proprietary Marks (or any derivations or alternate spellings thereof) or copyrighted materials by any person, including PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners, without its prior, written permission. All written requests need to be sent through the PrimeMyBody Support Portal. PrimeMyBody has the right to deny any requests at its sole discretion. Independent Brand Partners may not produce for sale, or distribution any recorded Company events, speeches or conference calls without written permission from PrimeMyBody, nor may Independent Brand Partners reproduce for sale or for personal use any recording of Company-produced audio or video tape presentations.
P. Fees
From time to time, PrimeMyBody or its third-party administrator may charge fees for various services it provides, including fees for processing and issuing commission payments. Please check our website and other Company materials for specific information concerning such fees. These fees may be deducted against commission payments.
Q. Inactive Status and Reward Points
A PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner that goes inactive (fails to purchase the required minimum $89.00 USD worth of commissionable product from a single order every thirty (30) days, from their own purchase(s) or that of their Customers) would be given a three (3) day grace period. If at the end of the three (3) day grace period, the Independent Brand Partner has still not purchased the minimum product purchase of $89.00 USD of commissionable product from a single order, their total Reward Points would be purged permanently. You are considered inactive while you are in your grace period until such time that you have the minimum required product purchase to become Active again.
During the time that an Independent Brand Partner is inactive or in their grace period, they will not accumulate any Reward Points that are generated during the period of inactivity, but they will maintain any RP that have accumulated up to this point. If you become Active again, your Reward Points will begin to accumulate from that date forward.
Marketing materials and accessories do not count towards the minimum product purchase.
R. Vendor Confidentiality
PrimeMyBody business relationships with its vendors, manufacturers, suppliers, doctors / medical experts, lawyers / legal experts are confidential. An Independent Brand Partner or Customer shall not contact directly or contact indirectly, speak with, or communicate with any representative or any supplier, manufacturer, vendor, or doctor / medical expert, lawyer / legal expert except at a PrimeMyBody sponsored event at which the representative is present at the request of PrimeMyBody. Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner or Customer found to be in violation may be subject to suspension and / or termination.
5. International Marketing
PrimeMyBody limits the resale of PrimeMyBody products and services, and the presentation of the PrimeMyBody business to prospective Customers and Independent Brand Partners located within the United States and U.S. Territories and those other countries that the Company has announced that are officially opened for business. Accordingly, Independent Brand Partners are authorized to sell PrimeMyBody products and services, and enroll Customers or Independent Brand Partners only in the countries in which PrimeMyBody is authorized to conduct business, as announced in official Company literature. PrimeMyBody products or sales aids cannot be shipped into or sold in any foreign country or market until so authorized in writing by the Company. In addition, no Independent Brand Partner may, in any unauthorized country: (a) conduct sales, enrollment or training meetings; (b) enroll or attempt to enroll potential Customers or Independent Brand Partners; or (c) conduct any other activity for the purpose of selling PrimeMyBody products, establishing a marketing organization, or promoting the PrimeMyBody opportunity. A PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner may not state to a current or prospective Independent Brand Partner or to any government official that they have knowledge of the next international market that PrimeMyBody will open.
It is the responsibility of a PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner to comply with all national and local laws, ordinances and regulations when conducting PrimeMyBody business in any authorized country.
PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners may not attempt to secure approval for PrimeMyBody products or business practices; register or reserve the Company’s Proprietary marks (or any derivations or alternate spellings thereof) or other intellectual property, or Internet domain names, or establish any kind of business or governmental contract on behalf of the Company. A PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner may not contact any government entity on behalf of PrimeMyBody. You agree to indemnify PrimeMyBody and its directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all liability including judgments, civil penalties, refunds, attorney fees, court costs, or lost business incurred by PrimeMyBody as a result of your unauthorized representations or actions.
6. Actions of Household Members or Independent Brand Partnered Individuals
If any member of an Independent Brand Partner’s immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed by the Independent Brand Partner, would violate any provision of the Agreement, such activity will be deemed a violation by the Independent Brand Partner and PrimeMyBody may take disciplinary action pursuant to the Policies and against the Independent Brand Partner. Similarly, if any Principal or other individual associated in any way with a Business Entity violates the Agreement, such action(s) will be deemed a violation by the entire Business Entity, and PrimeMyBody may take disciplinary action against the Business Entity.
7. Purchasing Products
A. Process
• You are not required to purchase any product in order to be a PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner.
• Only authorized Independent Brand Partners of PrimeMyBody may purchase PrimeMyBody products for resale.
• All orders must be accompanied by proper payment including all applicable shipping/handling fees and sales tax.
• An order transaction is considered complete only when the order has been paid for and the shipping or delivery method has been satisfied. If these conditions are not met within 90 days from the date of order, the Company reserves the right to determine the final outcome of the order at its sole discretion, and the ordering Independent Brand Partner releases PrimeMyBody from any further obligation or liability.
B. Purchases for Consumption or Resale
The PrimeMyBody program is built on retail sales to the ultimate consumer. PrimeMyBody encourages its Independent Brand Partners to only purchase inventory that they and their family will personally consume, will be used as a sales tool, or which will be resold to others for their ultimate consumption. PrimeMyBody 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. We encourage and require our Independent Brand Partners to set the proper example by gathering more Customers as they advance in rank through the Dual Comp Plan. PrimeMyBody strictly prohibits the purchase of products by an Independent Brand Partner and their downline in an attempt to solely qualify for the promotion, bonus or rank advancement. This includes, but is not limited to, having or attempting to create multiple positions; personally purchasing or knowingly recruiting individuals to purchase or upgrade product orders, with the intention of rank advancing and/or earning bonus and commissions; knowingly purchasing products with the intention of returning said product after rank advancement and/or earning bonus and commissions. Any Independent Brand Partner found to be in violation, may be subject to termination. In addition, no person is permitted to make a personal order in an Independent Brand Partner’s Back Office without written permission from the Independent Brand Partner. This written permission must be on file with PrimeMyBody. An Independent Brand Partner shall not use another person’s credit card when placing orders or place an order for a retail Customer using the Independent Brand Partner’s credit card. The purchase of products on behalf of another Independent Brand Partner or retail Customer or through another Independent Brand Partner’s or retail Customer’s ID number is prohibited. No Independent Brand Partner may advance money or promise reimbursement to a prospect in order to solicit them to purchase products, any Independent Brand Partner found to be in violation, may be subject to termination.
C. 70% Rule
Each PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner commits to personally use, sell, or use in business building at least 70% of every order placed with PrimeMyBody prior to placing another order. Purchasing product solely for the purpose of collecting bonuses is prohibited, any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner found to be in violation may be subject to termination. No bonuses, commissions or other compensation may be paid to any Independent Brand Partner unless it is based on the sale of PrimeMyBody products to end users. The Company reserves the right to retract commissions paid if it is discovered by the Company to be generated on fraudulent sales.
D. Retail Sale Documentation
All PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners must provide their retail Customers with two (2) copies of the PrimeMyBody Retail Receipt at the time of the initial sale and every sale thereafter. The PrimeMyBody Retail Receipt can be found in the Support Portal of your Back Office (sometimes referred to as a virtual office). These receipts set forth the Customer refund policy set forth in Section 11.A. as well as any consumer protection rights afforded by federal or state law. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners must maintain all retail sales receipts for a period of three years and furnish retail receipts to PrimeMyBody at the Company’s request. Failure to do so by the Independent Brand Partner constitutes a breach of the Agreement and entitles the Company to recoup any commissions paid for orders in a week for which retail sales documentation is not provided. Records documenting the purchases of Independent Brand Partners’ Customers will be maintained by PrimeMyBody. In addition, Independent Brand Partners must verbally inform the buyer of his or her cancellation rights. In the event that PrimeMyBody must reimburse a dissatisfied retail Customer on your behalf, refunds will be deducted from commissions and you may be subject to disciplinary action. Retail sales must comply with the FTC Three-Day Cooling-Off Rule, which requires statutory language and notice of cancellation rights on the retail sales receipt.
E. SmartShip Guidelines
You can ensure that you receive a monthly shipment of our products by enrolling in SmartShip.
(1) We recommend that you gather at least one Customer or establish your own SmartShip for a minimum product purchase of $89 USD of commissionable product from a single order every 30 days to assure that you remain “Active” and that you are eligible for ongoing commissions and bonuses. (Refer to the PrimeMyBody Dual Comp Plan for details); being on SmartShip also eliminates the inconvenience of placing monthly orders manually.
(2) SmartShip orders for you and your Customers run on a calendar month. These orders will be processed on the same day every month. The date of your SmartShip or that of your Customers, can be changed in the Back Office. If you change your SmartShip date, it may be necessary to place an additional order to remain “Active.” (PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners who wish to participate in the Dual Comp Plan and receive override commissions will need to obtain the required number of Customers as stated in the Dual Comp Plan.) (3) You may deactivate or reactivate your SmartShip order at any time.
(4) Sponsors may not set up a SmartShip order on behalf of their new personally referred Independent Brand Partners without written permission from the enrolling Independent Brand Partner. Permission must be on file with the Company Compliance Department.
(5) SmartShip is not necessary as long as the minimum product purchase of $89 USD of commissionable products from a single order generated by you and your personal Customers required to remain Active is met monthly (every 30 days). The minimum product purchase can be a combination of sales to retail Customers from your website, Customers on monthly SmartShip or personal purchases.
(6) If an Independent Brand Partner returns or refuses their SmartShip order, PrimeMyBody will cancel the Independent Brand Partner’s SmartShip.
(7) If an Independent Brand Partner charges back their SmartShip order, PrimeMyBody will cancel the Independent Brand Partner’s SmartShip and terminate the Independent Brand Partner’s position in PrimeMyBody.
F. Credit Card Sales
PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners may only use credit cards belonging to them or for which they are authorized users. Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner that uses another person’s credit card without the authorization of the cardholder is in violation of federal and state laws and will be subject to immediate termination and possible legal action. Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner that allows another Independent Brand Partner or Customer to use their credit card is solely responsible for all charges.
G. Chargebacks or Erroneous Charges
Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner that charges back to PrimeMyBody any credit card purchase, will be terminated. Please notify PrimeMyBody Support of any erroneous charges on your credit card statement, before notifying your credit card company. All credit card disputes must be presented to PrimeMyBody PrimeMyBody Support within 60 days of the transaction date. If an Independent Brand Partner charges back their SmartShip order, PrimeMyBody will cancel the Independent Brand Partner’s SmartShip and terminate their Independent Brand Partner account.
If an Independent Brand Partner charges back their Active Business Center or their Annual Renewal fee, PrimeMyBody will automatically terminate their position.
Any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner that allows another Independent Brand Partner or Customer to use their credit card is solely responsible for all charges.
8. Product Sales
A. Mass Sales Mediums
PrimeMyBody products may not be sold, advertised or promoted through catalogues or other mass sales mediums, such as infomercials, television, radio, virtual sales malls, auction web sites or other online sales media. Internet retail sales may be made only on PrimeMyBody approved websites.
B. Retail and Service Establishments
PrimeMyBody products may not be sold, advertised or promoted through retail establishments. A retail establishment is any location where the primary business is to sell products to the public. A PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner is also prohibited from selling products to any person who the Independent Brand Partner knows, or has reason to suspect, will ultimately sell PrimeMyBody products through retail establishments. You may, however, sell PrimeMyBody sales aids and products through service establishments, such as spas, fitness centers, beauty salons, etc. These service establishments must require a membership and/or appointment, and the services performed must be health and wellness related. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners must obtain written authorization from PrimeMyBody prior to selling any PrimeMyBody products in a service establishment. PrimeMyBody retains the discretion to restrict its products from being sold in any service establishment which it does not deem acceptable.
C. Displays
Only PrimeMyBody-produced or PrimeMyBody-approved literature, banners, or signage may be displayed on a shelf, counter, or wall. These signage items must not be visible from the outside of the establishment.
D. Geographical Approved Locations
You may not sell PrimeMyBody products or promote the business opportunity in countries or territories that have not been officially opened by PrimeMyBody Corporate. Nor may you export or sell directly or indirectly to others who export PrimeMyBody’s products, literature, sales aids or promotional material relating to PrimeMyBody, its products or the PrimeMyBody program from the United States, or its possessions or territories to any unauthorized country. Any violation of this rule constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and is grounds for immediate termination of the Independent Brand Partner position.
E. Sales Tools
(1) Usage of Company Sales Tools and Support Materials. To promote both the products and services, and the tremendous opportunity PrimeMyBody offers, Independent Brand Partners should use the sales tools and support materials produced by PrimeMyBody. The rationale behind this requirement is simple. PrimeMyBody has carefully designed its products, product labels, the PrimeMyBody Dual Comp Plan, and promotional materials to ensure that each aspect of PrimeMyBody is fair, truthful, substantiated, and complies with the vast and complex legal requirements of federal and state laws.
(2) Use of Endorsements. The use of names, images, testimonials and endorsements of any person or organization, including celebrities, high profile sports figures or sports or educational organizations, in any oral or written sales and promotional activities or materials, including, without limitation, a replicating website, is strictly prohibited, except as specifically authorized in writing by the Company. The PrimeMyBody websites may contain information about individuals or entities who have officially endorsed our products.

PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners must submit all written sales tools, promotional materials, advertisements, and other literature to the Company for written approval prior to use, including, without limitation, any material which use the Company’s Proprietary Marks (or any derivations or alternate spellings thereof) or Copyrighted Materials.

(4) Sales To Other Independent Brand Partners Not Permitted.

F. Product Sales Tax
In designing the PrimeMyBody opportunity, one of our guiding philosophies has been to free Independent Brand Partners from as many administrative, operational, and logistical tasks as possible. In doing so, Independent Brand Partners are free to concentrate on those activities that directly affect their incomes, namely product sales and enrollment activities. Where permitted by law, as an additional service to our Independent Brand Partners, PrimeMyBody relievesIndependent Brand Partners of the burdens of collecting and remitting sales taxes, filing sales tax reports, and keeping records relative to sales taxes. By virtue of its business operations, PrimeMyBody will charge sales taxes on all purchases made by Independent Brand Partners and Customers, and remit the taxes charged to the respective states. Accordingly, PrimeMyBody will collect and remit sales taxes on behalf of Independent Brand Partners, based on the wholesale price of the products, according to applicable tax rates in the state or province to which the shipment is destined. If an Independent Brand Partner has submitted, and PrimeMyBody has accepted, a current Sales Tax Exemption Certificate and Sales Tax Registration License, or resale certificate, sales taxes will not be added to the invoice and the responsibility of collecting and remitting sales taxes to the appropriate authorities shall be on the Independent Brand Partner. If you elect to provide such documents, you agree to indemnify and hold PrimeMyBody harmless regarding any liability that we are charged as a result of your failure to collect or remit sales taxes. Exemption from the payment of sales tax is applicable only to orders which are shipped to a state for which the proper tax exemption papers have been filed and accepted. Applicable sales taxes will be charged on orders that are drop-shipped to another state. Any sales tax exemption accepted by PrimeMyBody is not retroactive. You will be responsible for tracking and reporting all sales and sales taxes due.

10. General Information
A. Entity Changes
PrimeMyBody reserves the right to approve and disapprove any change you propose to make to your business name or structure, the formation of Business Entities, estate planning, and limited liability purposes. Before we can approve such a change, you must complete a new Independent Brand Partner Agreement form and file it with us outlining the proposed change and the reasons for the proposed change.
B. Independent Brand Partner’s Successors
In the event that an Independent Brand Partner dies or becomes incapacitated, that Independent Brand Partner’s downline will pass to the benefit of the Independent Brand Partner’s successors in interest. It is the responsibility of the successors to notify PrimeMyBody, in a timely manner, of the death or incapacity of an Independent Brand Partner by letter along with an official Death Certificate. The letter must be written and signed by the executor of the estate or next of kin. Further, the successors must make a written application for the transfer and agree in writing to abide by our then current Policies. The successors must meet all Independent Brand Partner qualifications.
C. Change of Sponsor
To protect the integrity of all marketing organizations and safeguard the hard work of all PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners, PrimeMyBody strongly discourages changes in sponsorship. Maintaining the integrity of sponsorship is critical for the success of every Independent Brand Partner and marketing organization. Accordingly, the transfer of a PrimeMyBody business from one sponsor to another is rarely permitted. Requests for change of sponsorship must be submitted within three (3) days of enrollment and must include the reason for the change in sponsorship. Sponsor changes are subject to PrimeMyBody’s Corporate approval, which may be withheld at any time. The Independent Brand Partner seeking to change sponsors must submit a properly completed and fully executed Sponsor Transfer Form, which includes the written approval of their sponsor. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners need to allow up to seven (7) days for the change in sponsorship. The PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner who requests the change must submit a fee of $50.00 for administrative charges and data processing. PrimeMyBody reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine the final disposition of the downline organization. Resolving conflicts over the proper placement of a downline that has developed under an organization that has improperly switched sponsors is often extremely difficult. Therefore, Independent Brand Partners waive any and all claims against PrimeMyBody that relate to or arise from PrimeMyBody’s decision regarding the disposition of any downline organization that develops below an organization that has improperly changed lines of sponsorship.
D. Placement Changes
To protect the integrity of all marketing organizations and safeguard the hard work of all PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners, PrimeMyBody strongly discourages placement changes. Maintaining the integrity of the tree is critical for the success of every Independent Brand Partner and marketing organization. Requests for placement changes must be submitted under Form Requests through the Support Portal, within three (3) days of enrollment and must include the reason for the transfer. Placement Changes are subject to PrimeMyBody’s Corporate approval, which may be withheld at any time. The Independent Brand Partner seeking to change placement must submit a properly completed and fully executed Placement Change Form, which includes the written approval of their sponsor. PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners need to allow up to seven (7) days for the placement change. The PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner who requests the placement change must submit a fee of $100.00 for administrative charges and data processing. Accumulated Reward Points and / or Rank are not transferred. Any and all decisions on accumulated RP and Rank, are at the sole discretion of the company. PrimeMyBody reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine the final disposition of the downline organization. Resolving conflicts over the proper placement of a downline that has developed under an organization that has improperly switched sponsors is often extremely difficult. Therefore, Independent Brand Partners waive any and all claims against PrimeMyBody that relate to or arise from PrimeMyBody’s decision regarding the disposition of any downline organization that develops below an organization that has improperly changed lines of sponsorship.
E. Cancellation and Re-application
A participant in PrimeMyBody’s network marketing Dual Comp Plan has a right to cancel at any time, regardless of reason. Cancellation must be submitted in writing to PrimeMyBody at its principal business address. The written notice must include the Independent Brand Partner’s signature, printed name, address, and Independent Brand Partner I.D. Number. If the Independent Brand Partner was enrolled in the SmartShip Program, his or her participation in the SmartShip Program will also be automatically canceled. Therefore an Independent Brand Partner may legitimately change organizations by voluntarily canceling his or her PrimeMyBody business and remaining inactive (i.e., no purchases of PrimeMyBody products for resale, no sales of PrimeMyBody products, no sponsoring, no attendance at any PrimeMyBody functions, no participation in any other form of Independent Brand Partner activity, or operation of any other PrimeMyBody business) for six (6) full calendar months. Following the six (6) month period of inactivity, the former Independent Brand Partner may reapply under a new sponsor.
F. Non-Solicitation
For a period of one (1) year following resignation or termination of the PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner Agreement, with the exception of those Independent Brand Partners you personally sponsored, you may not, directly or indirectly, recruit or attempt to solicit, hire or recruit any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner, Customer, Employee or Consultant for another multilevel marketing or direct-selling company. Since we recognize that direct selling is conducted through networks of independent contractors in many countries, and business is commonly conducted via the internet and telephone, an effort to narrowly limit the geographic scope of the non-solicitation provisions herein would render it wholly ineffective. Therefore, this nonsolicitation provision shall apply to all markets in which PrimeMyBody conducts business. This provision shall survive termination of the Independent Brand Partner Agreement.
G. Non-renewal
An Independent Brand Partner may also voluntarily terminate his or her Independent Brand Partner Agreement by failing to renew the Independent Brand Partner Agreement upon its Anniversary date. The Company may also elect not to renew an Independent Brand Partner's Agreement upon its anniversary date. All accumulated Reward Points will purge permanently if the Independent Brand Partner does not renew by their anniversary date.
H. Cross Recruiting
Actual or attempted cross recruiting is strictly prohibited. PrimeMyBody defines cross recruiting as the act of directly or indirectly recruiting or attempting to recruit someone from another sales organization into your own. In other words, respecting other peoples’ downline is not only the culture we want to create, we will strictly enforce it. Furthermore, directly or indirectly introducing other business opportunities to any PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner, except those whom you have personally contacted and/or recruited (referred), is strictly prohibited. Violation of these policies is grounds for immediate termination from PrimeMyBody. It may also give rise to other claims for unauthorized use of our confidential information. The use of a spouse’s or relative’s name, trade names, DBAs, assumed names, Business Entities, federal ID numbers, or fictitious ID numbers to circumvent this policy is prohibited. Independent Brand Partners shall not demean, discredit or defame other PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners in an attempt to entice another Independent Brand Partner to become part of the first Independent Brand Partner’s marketing organization. If cross recruiting is discovered, it must be brought to the Company’s attention immediately. PrimeMyBody may take disciplinary action against the Independent Brand Partner that changed organizations and/or those Independent Brand Partners who encouraged or participated in the cross recruiting. Such disciplinary action can range from a warning to permanent termination from the company. PrimeMyBody may also move all or part of the offending Independent Brand Partner’s downline to his or her original downline organization if the Company deems it equitable and feasible to do so. However, PrimeMyBody is under no obligation to move the cross recruited Independent Brand Partner’s downline organization, and the ultimate disposition of the organization remains within the sole discretion of PrimeMyBody. Independent Brand Partners waive all claims and causes of action against PrimeMyBody arising from or relating to the disposition of the cross recruited Independent Brand Partner’s downline organization.
I. Corporate Office Visit Policy
You may visit our offices only at designated times. You must make an appointment in advance to arrange any such visit. At the time of the visit, you will be required to sign in at the front desk immediately after entering the office. A Company employee must accompany you at all times you are in the Company offices.
J. Company Protocol
Independent Brand Partners are not to ask PrimeMyBody employees for opinions and/or suggestions in regards to their personal business. PrimeMyBody and its employees cannot be held responsible for any advice given, as it is up to the Independent Brand Partner to build and manage his/her own successful business.
K. Resigning Independent Brand Partner Re-Entry Guidelines
An Independent Brand Partner who chooses to resign his or her account may not re-enter PrimeMyBody for six months. If the spouse of the resigning Independent Brand Partner is not currently an Independent Brand Partner, the spouse will be subject to the same six-month restriction that applies to a resigning Independent Brand Partner. If the spouse is a PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner, his or her Independent Brand Partner account will be treated as a separate independent entity.
L. Ongoing Sales Responsibilities
Regardless of their level of achievement, Independent Brand Partners have an ongoing obligation to continue to assist those in their downline, personally promote sales through the generation of new Customers and through servicing their existing Customers.
M. Dual Comp Plan
Independent Brand Partners must adhere to the terms of the PrimeMyBody Dual Comp Plan as set forth in official PrimeMyBody literature.
N. Sale, Transfer or Assignment of PrimeMyBody Business
An Independent Brand Partner’s business may be sold, transferred or assigned to another individual or entity only after PrimeMyBody corporate has approved the request in writing, which may be withheld at its sole discretion. The sale, transfer or assignment of a PrimeMyBody business may be subject to certain limitations, terms or conditions. If an Independent Brand Partner wishes to sell, transfer or assign their PrimeMyBody business, the following criteria must be met: • Seller must notify PrimeMyBody immediately of their desire to sell, transfer or assign their PrimeMyBody business and the reason for the sale. Seller needs to notify PrimeMyBody immediately upon the finding of a buyer for their business.
• Protection of the existing line of sponsorship must always be maintained so that the PrimeMyBody business continues to be operated in that line of sponsorship.
• The buyer or transferee must become a qualified PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner. If the buyer is a PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner, they are not eligible to purchase said business. If a potential buyer is a PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner and is still interested in purchasing the business, they will first need to terminate their own PrimeMyBody business and wait six calendar months before acquiring any interest in the seller’s PrimeMyBody business.
• Before the sale, transfer or assignment can be finalized and approved by PrimeMyBody, any debt obligations the selling Independent Brand Partner has with PrimeMyBody must be satisfied.
• The selling Independent Brand Partner must be in good standing and not in violation of any of the terms of the Independent Brand Partner Agreement or PrimeMyBody Policies and Procedures in order to be eligible to sell, transfer or assign a PrimeMyBody business. Prior to selling a PrimeMyBody business, the selling Independent Brand Partner must notify the PrimeMyBody Support Department of his or her intent to sell the PrimeMyBody business. No changes in line of sponsorship can result from the sale or transfer of a PrimeMyBody business. An Independent Brand Partner may not sell, transfer or assign individual Active Business Centers or positions; if a business is sold, transferred or assigned, all Active Business Centers and positions must be included in the transaction. The selling Independent Brand Partner must submit a properly completed and fully executed Transfer of Ownership Form and a $75.00 transfer fee to PrimeMyBody to initiate the transfer process. Seller and Buyer need to allow up to 30 days for the transfer of ownership to be finalized. Accumulated Reward Points and / or Rank are not automatically transferred to the new Buyer. Any and all decisions on accumulated Reward Points and Rank, are at the sole discretion of the company.
O. PrimeMyBody Business Entity Dissolve or Separation Policy Guidelines
PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partners sometimes operate their PrimeMyBody businesses as husband-wife partnerships or Business Entities. At such time as a marriage may end in divorce or a Business Entity may dissolve, arrangements must be made to assure that any separation or division of the business is accomplished so as not to adversely affect the interests and income of other businesses up or down the line of sponsorship. If the separating parties fail to provide for the best interests of other Independent Brand Partners and the Company in a timely fashion, PrimeMyBody will involuntarily terminate the Independent Brand Partner Agreement.
During the divorce or Business Entity dissolution process, the parties must adopt one of the following methods of operation:
(1) One of the parties may, with consent of the other(s), operate the PrimeMyBody business pursuant to an assignment in writing whereby the relinquishing spouse, shareholders, partners or trustees authorize PrimeMyBody to deal directly and solely with the other spouse or nonrelinquishing Principal.
(2) The parties may continue to operate the PrimeMyBody business jointly on a “business-as-usual” basis, whereupon all compensation paid by PrimeMyBody will be paid according to the status quo as it existed prior to the divorce filing or dissolution proceedings. This is the default procedure if the parties do not agree on the format as set forth above. Under no circumstances will the downline organization of divorcing spouses or a dissolving Business Entity be divided. Similarly, under no circumstances will PrimeMyBody split commission and bonus checks between divorcing spouses or members of dissolving entities. PrimeMyBody will recognize only one downline organization and will issue only one commission check per PrimeMyBody business per commission cycle. Commission checks shall always be issued to the same individual or entity. In the event that parties to a divorce or dissolution proceeding are unable to resolve a dispute over the disposition of commissions and ownership of the business in a timely fashion as determined by the Company, the Independent Brand Partner Agreement shall be involuntarily terminated. If a former spouse has completely relinquished all rights in the original PrimeMyBody business pursuant to a divorce, he or she is thereafter free to enroll under any sponsor of his or her choosing without waiting six calendar months. In the case of Business Entity dissolutions, the former Principal who retains no interest in the business must wait six calendar months from the date of the final dissolution before re-enrolling as an Independent Brand Partner. In either case, however, the former spouse or business Independent Brand Partner shall have no rights to any Independent Brand Partners in their former organization or to any former retail Customer. They must develop the new business in the same manner as would any other new Independent Brand Partner.

We will not repurchase products or issue refunds on products certified as having been consumed or sold under the 70% Resale rule. Falsely representing the amount of product sold or consumed in order to advance in the marketing plan will be grounds for termination.
I. Damaged Returns
Any damages to the product, as the result of negligent packaging or improper shipping for the return shipment shall be your sole responsibility. PrimeMyBody will not refund any product that is delivered damaged or not in a marketable condition.
J. Per State Buy-Back Policy Guidelines
In some states there is a statute or regulation that provides for a different Buy-Back policy. PrimeMyBody conforms to all such laws: In Georgia: We will repurchase all unencumbered products, sales aids, literature, and promotional items which are in a reasonably resalable or reusable condition and which were acquired by the participant from PrimeMyBody. The repurchase shall be at a price not less than 90% of the original net cost to the participant of the goods being returned. For the purpose of this paragraph, “original net cost” means the amount actually paid by the participant for the goods, less any consideration received by the participant for purchase of the goods that is attributable to the specific goods now being returned. Goods shall be deemed “resalable or reusable” if the goods are in an unused, commercially resalable condition at the time the goods are returned to PrimeMyBody. Goods that are no longer marketed by PrimeMyBody shall be deemed “resalable or reusable” if the goods are in an unused, commercially resalable condition and are returned to PrimeMyBody within one year from the date the company discontinued marketing the goods; provided, however, that goods which are no longer marketed shall be deemed not “resalable or reusable” if the goods are sold to participants as non-returnable, discontinued, or seasonal items and the non-returnable, discontinued, or season nature of the goods was clearly disclosed to the participant seeking to return the goods prior to the purchase of the goods by the participant.
In Maryland, Montana, Puerto Rico, Oklahoma and Texas: On written request from the purchaser, and not later than the first anniversary of the purchaser’s date of purchase, all unencumbered products that are in an unused, commercially resalable condition at a price not less than 90% of the amount actually paid by the purchaser for the products being returned, less any consideration received by the purchaser for purchase of the products being returned. A product that is no longer marketed by PrimeMyBody is considered resalable if the product is otherwise in an unused, commercially resalable condition and is returned to the seller not later than the first anniversary of the purchaser’s date of purchase, except that the product is not considered resalable if before the purchaser purchased the product it was clearly disclosed to the purchaser that the product was sold as a non-returnable, discontinued, seasonal, or special promotion item. In Massachusetts and Wyoming: We will repurchase all unencumbered products in a resalable condition then in the possession of the participant. The repurchase shall be at a price of not less than 90% of the original net cost to the participant returning such goods, taking into account any sales made by or through such participant prior to notification to the company of the election to cancel. In Louisiana: We will repurchase all or part of any product that are in a resalable condition at 85% of the original net cost to you, and repay 85% of the original net cost of any services provided to you, and refund 90% of any other consideration you paid to us in order to participate in the marketing program.
K. Circumstances Beyond PrimeMyBody’s Control
PrimeMyBody shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance of its obligations when performance is made commercially impracticable due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This includes, without limitation, strikes, labor difficulties, riot, war, fire, death, curtailment of a party’s source of supply, or government decrees or orders.
L. 60-Day Notification Policy
If an Independent Brand Partner has questions about or believes any errors have been made regarding commissions, bonuses, Downline Activity Reports, orders or charges, the Independent Brand Partner must notify PrimeMyBody in writing within 60 days of the date of the purported error or incident in question. PrimeMyBody will not be responsible for any errors, omissions or problems not reported to the Company within 60 days. Any commission check(s) that needs to be re-issued will be charged a $35.00 fee per check.
M. Change of Address, Telephone, and E-Mail Addresses
To ensure timely delivery of products, support materials, and commission checks, it is critically important that PrimeMyBody’s files are current. Street addresses are required for shipping since UPS cannot deliver to a post office box. Independent Brand Partners planning to change their e-mail address or move must send their new address and telephone numbers to PrimeMyBody’s Corporate Offices to the attention of the PrimeMyBody Support Department. To guarantee proper delivery, two weeks advance notice must be provided to PrimeMyBody on all changes. Any shipments returned to PrimeMyBody using the current address in the back office, and that address is incorrect or not current, any reshipping and handling charges will be charged back to the PrimeMyBody Independent Brand Partner. Any commission check(s) that needs to be re-issued due to an incorrect address, will be charged a $35.00 fee per check.
12. Compliance
A. Controversy and Claims
(1) Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to your Independent Brand Partner Agreement or these Policies and Procedures, or their breach, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If an Independent Brand Partner files a claim or counterclaim against PrimeMyBody, he or she may only do so on an individual basis and not with any other Independent Brand Partner or as part of a class or consolidated action. For additional information please contact PrimeMyBody’s Compliance Department through the Support Portal. All parties shall be entitled to all discovery rights pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the losing party costs and expenses of arbitration, including legal and filing fees. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may, if necessary, be reduced to a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitration shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator shall have no jurisdiction over disputes relating to the ownership, validity, use or registration of any mark, copyright, or other intellectual property or proprietary or confidential information of the Company without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may seek any applicable remedy in any applicable forum with respect to these disputes. In addition to monetary damages, the Company may obtain injunctive relief against an Independent Brand Partner for any violation of the Agreement or misuse of the Company’s Proprietary Marks (or any derivations or alternate spellings thereof), copyrights or confidential information.
(2) Termination/Injunctive Relief. Nothing in these Policies shall prevent the Company terminating the Independent Brand Partner Agreement pursuant to its terms or from applying to and obtaining from any court having jurisdiction a writ of attachment, a temporary injunction, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other relief available to safeguard and protect the Company’s interest prior to, during or following the filing of any arbitration, mediation or other proceeding or pending the rendition of a decision or award in connection with any arbitration or other proceeding.

B. No Waiver
The Company never gives up its right to insist on compliance with the Agreement and with the applicable laws governing the conduct of a business. No failure of PrimeMyBody to exercise any right or power under the Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance by an Independent Brand Partner with any obligation or provision of the Agreement, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms of the Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of PrimeMyBody’s right to demand exact compliance with the Agreement. Waiver by PrimeMyBody can be effectuated only in writing by an authorized officer of the Company. PrimeMyBody’s waiver of any particular breach by an Independent Brand Partner shall not affect or impair PrimeMyBody’s rights with respect to any subsequent breach, nor shall it affect in any way the rights or obligations of any other Independent Brand Partner. Nor shall any delay or omission by PrimeMyBody to exercise any right arising from a breach affect or impair PrimeMyBody’s rights as to that or any subsequent breach. The existence of any claim or cause of action of an Independent Brand Partner against PrimeMyBody shall not constitute a defense to PrimeMyBody’s enforcement of any term or provision of the Agreement.
C. Venue/Jurisdiction
Jurisdiction and venue of any matter not subject to arbitration shall reside exclusively in Clark County, State of Nevada. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all matters relating to arbitration. The law of the State of Nevada shall govern all other matters relating to or arising from the Agreement.
