SECTION 4 – SPONSORING & TRAINING AND TERMS OF TERMINATION

4.1 Sponsoring.

All distributors have the right to sponsor others. In addition, every person has the ultimate right to choose his own sponsor. If two distributors should claim to be the sponsors of the same new distributor, the Company shall regard the first application received by the corporate home office as controlling.

 

As a general rule, it is good practice to regard the first distributor who has meaningfully worked with prospective distributor as having the first claim to sponsorship though this is not necessarily the sole factor of consideration. Other factors of consideration such as common sense and equitable principles should also be utilised.

The Company may provide the distributors with various methods of registration or information of newly sponsored distributors, including but not limited to, facsimile registration and online registration for the convenience of the distributors. The Company. Until such time as the Company receives a duly completed application, containing all appropriate and required information as well as the signature of the proposed new distributor, the Company will only consider any application as one which is merely a non-binding expression of interest. Although the Company is attempting to create convenience for its sponsoring distributors, it is the responsibility of each sponsoring distributor to cause delivery to the Company of a completed and signed distributor agreement if the sponsor is expected to be recognised as the official sponsoring distributor. For the avoidance of doubt, potential distributors shall not be required to provide any form of payment or benefit in order to be sponsored.

 

There is no “magic” involved in the Company or in any business. Those who sponsor widely but who do not help new distributors develop their business meet will be met with limited success. Therefore, it is the distributor’s responsibility to follow through and make sure the new distributor is properly informed and trained in the areas of product knowledge, the compensation plan, the professional guidelines of the network marketing industry, the Company Policies, Handbook and Agreement.

 

When soliciting a prospective distributor to join the Company’s network programme, the distributor must clearly explain the following:

• Products: type, performance and quality of each product;
• Compensation plan;
• Policies and Procedures;
• Distributor’s rights and duties; and
• Other important items that will affect the judgment of the prospective distributor.

 

Distributors should never provide false and/or misleading information in order to encourage the conclusion of a sales agreement or to prevent the buyer from cancelling the agreement. Retail sales are a requirement of the Company’s network programme. Each distributor must identify himself by name and Company ID number to the prospective buyer.

Transfer is rarely permitted and is actively discouraged. Maintaining the integrity of sponsorship is absolutely crucial for the success of the overall organisation.

Transfers will generally be approved in the following two (2) circumstances:

• In the case of unethical sponsoring by the original sponsor – in such cases, the Company will be the final authority; or
• Resigning from the Company entirely – waiting six (6) months to reapply under the new sponsor.

 

In cases of unethical sponsoring, the individual may be transferred with any downlines intact; in all other events, the individual alone is transferred without any downline distributors being removed from the original line of sponsorship. All transfers are subject to a RM50 transfer fee. When such transfer is approved and accepted by the company, any volume previously accumulated may be removed.

4.3 Multiple Applications.

If one applicant submits multiple Independent distributor Agreement forms listing different sponsors, only the first completed form to be received by company will be accepted. The company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make the final decision with respect to all such disputes.

4.5 Sponsor Corrections.

Sponsor changes are not permitted.   However, sponsor corrections can be made if the error is reported to the company within three (3) days of enrolment.  Sponsor corrections must be requested from the current (original) sponsor, stating the reason that the correction needs to be made.

6.9  Income Claims.

No income claims, income projections, income representation, or showing of commission checks (“check waving”) may be made to prospective distributors. Any false, deceptive or misleading claims regarding the opportunity or product/service are prohibited. In their enthusiasm, distributors are occasionally tempted to represent hypothetical income figures based upon the inherent power of network marketing as actual income projections. This is counter-productive, since new distributors may be quickly disappointed if their results are not as extensive or as rapid as a hypothetical model would suggest. The Company believes firmly that the income potential is great enough to be highly attractive in reality without resorting to artificial and unrealistic projections.

The use of these methods in ways that are legal and the equivalent of the “blind ads” alluded to above cannot be regulated by the Company.

 

6.14 Newspaper Advertisement.

Some Independent Representatives use classified advertising in the newspapers to find prospects. The following rules apply – no advertisement may imply that a “job” or “position” is available.
