The term of this agreement is one year (subject to prior
cancellation pursuant to the Policies and Procedures). If I fail to

any reason, I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as
a Distributor. I shall not be eligible to sell the Companyâs
products and services, nor shall I be eligible to receive
commissions, bonuses, or other income resulting from the activities
of my former sales organization. In the event of cancellation,
termination or nonrenewal, I waive all rights, including but not

may cancel this Agreement at any time, and for any reason, upon
written notice to the Company through the Companyâs support
ticketing system which is accessed via the website and mobile app.
-
I may not assign any rights under the Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Company. Any attempt to transfer or assign
the Agreement without the express written consent of the Company
renders the Agreement voidable at the option of the Company and may
result in termination of my business.
-
I understand that if I fail to comply with the terms of the
Agreement, the Company may, at its discretion, impose upon me
disciplinary sanctions as set forth in the Policies and Procedures.
If I am in breach, default or violation of the Agreement at
termination, I shall not be entitled to receive any further bonuses
or commissions, whether the sales for such bonuses or commissions
have been completed. I agree that the Company may deduct, withhold,
set-off, or charge to any form of payment I have previously
authorized, any amounts I owe or am indebted to the Company.
-
The Company, its parent or affiliated companies, brands, directors,
officers, shareholders, employees, assigns, and agents (collectively
referred to as âaffiliatesâ), shall not be liable for, and I release
and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from, all claims
for consequential and exemplary damages for any claim or cause of
action relating to the Agreement. I further agree to release and
hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from all liability
arising from or relating to the promotion or operation of my
business and any activities related to it (e.g., the presentation of
the Companyâs products or Compensation and Marketing Plan, the
operation of a motor vehicle, the lease of meeting or training
facilities, etc.), and agree to indemnify the Company and its
affiliates for any liability, damages, fines, penalties, or other
awards arising from any unauthorized conduct that I undertake in
operating my business.

its discretion, constitutes the entire contract between the Company
and myself. Any promises, representations, offers, or other
communications not expressly set forth in the Agreement are of no
force or effect.
-
Any waiver by the Company of any breach of the Agreement must be in
writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Company. Waiver
by the Company of any breach of the Agreement by me shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

unenforceable, such provision shall be severed, and the severed
provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
enforceable. The balance of the Agreement shall remain in full force

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Utah without regard to principles of
conflicts of laws. In the event of a dispute between a Distributor
and the Company arising from or relating to the Agreement, or the
rights and obligations of either party, the parties shall attempt in
good faith to resolve the dispute through nonbinding mediation as
more fully described in the Policies and Procedures. The Company
shall not be obligated to engage in mediation as a prerequisite to
disciplinary action against a Member. If the parties are
unsuccessful in resolving their dispute through mediation, the
dispute shall be settled totally and finally by arbitration as more

before the courts seeking a restraining order, temporary or
permanent injunction, or other equitable relief to protect its
intellectual property rights, including but not limited to customer
and/or distributor lists as well as other trade secrets, trademarks,
trade names, patents, and copyrights. The parties may also seek
