Policies

1. Banners Broker has sole discretion to modify any of these documents. These polices & procedures, changes, alterations, additions, deletions or amendments thereto will be posted on the company website and will be effective concurrent with the date of posting.
2. Unless otherwise specified, the Affiliate Agreement must be submitted online. The company may permit the submission by fax, mail or other manner. An affiliate/client agreement that is incomplete, incorrect in any respect or filed in the wrong country may be considered invalid.
3. Upon request by the company, an affiliate must provide proof of residency, proof of age, and proof of his/her ability to legally conduct business in the country that corresponds with the affiliate agreement.
4. As used herein, “Active in the Business” includes signing an Affiliate Agreement, purchasing products from the company, sponsoring new affiliates, or other activities the company, in its sole discretion, determines to be a meaningful promotion of the company’s business.
5. An Affiliate may dispose of, transfer, or otherwise assign his/her/its organization assets in any manner allowed by applicable law (including sale, gift, or bequest) with the prior written consent of the company, which will not unreasonably be withheld, and with written approval from its immediate sponsor. Any assets that take the form of claims to compensation or satisfaction of contractual obligations, from or by the company, will not be recognized as assets of the transferee on the company records until written notification of the transfer has been received and has gained approval. The organization transfer is subject to all remedial measures under the agreement that may have arisen prior to the transfer.
6. An affiliate may not convey, assign, or otherwise transfer any right conveyed by the agreement to any person or entity without prior written consent of the company, which will not be unreasonably withheld. An affiliate may delegate his/her responsibilities but is ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable laws. Any person or entity working with or for the affiliate as part of his/her organization will do so only under the affiliates direct supervision.
7. The Company may reject an Affiliate Agreement, declare any agreement void from its inception, or terminate a distributorship if an affiliate:
   1. Fails to provide documentation requested or required by the company.
   2. Provides false or inaccurate information or fails to correct false or inaccurate information.

Section G (Affiliate)

Sponsorship

2. Enticement to Transfer. An affiliate may not encourage, entice, or otherwise assist another affiliate to transfer to a different sponsor. This includes, but is not limited to, offering financial or other tangible incentives for another Affiliate to terminate an existing organization and then re-sign under a different sponsor.
3. Fabrication. An affiliate is prohibited from fabricating information or signing-up any individual as an Affiliate without their knowledge and/or consent.
4. Conflict of Sponsorship. Occasionally, one or more individuals may contact the same prospect, resulting in a dispute of the sponsoring rights. A new affiliate has the right to choose their sponsor. Banners Broker will not mediate such disputes and will recognize as sponsor the person whose name appears as sponsor on the first online order form submitted by the new affiliate. In the event that more than one order form is submitted with conflicting sponsor information, the one received first by the company will be recognized as binding and changes will not be allowed.
5. Sponsorship Correction. If the affiliate makes a mistake in a placement, it can only be changed or corrected by the company if brought to the companies attention within 48 hours of signing up.
6. Changes to Product Orders. A sponsor is prohibited from making changes to information or product orders under a personally sponsored account.
7. Sponsor Switching. The switching of sponsors is not permitted. Upon receipt and acceptance of the affiliate/client agreement by the company, the new affiliate’s sponsor cannot be changed.
8. Upline Consolidation. Should an affiliate’s sponsor have his/her membership cancelled or terminated, the sponsor of that sponsor shall be granted sponsorship over the affiliate.
9. Sponsorship Protection. The affiliate acknowledges that the company has made an important investment when a sponsorship occurs and when an affiliate joins the company, thus forming a valuable business relationship between two affiliates and the company.
10. Cross-Sponsoring. The company, in its sole discretion, may terminate an affiliate who is involved, in any manner, in cross sponsoring, and the affiliate agrees that the company may seek legal recourse to enjoin such conduct.

2. Approval of Advertisements. Any advertisements for Banners Broker must first be approved by a representative before distribution/publication.
   
   False Representation. If an affiliate falsely represents that the company failed to honor these policies, the company may, at its sole discretion, terminate the affiliate making the false representation.
3. Negative Representation. Any affiliate that presents the program in a negative light for the purpose of having people NOT register, or to turn off existing affiliates for the purpose of having them stop promoting is in clear violation of these policies and the company at its sole discretion may terminate the affiliate, close the affiliate’s account, seize any funds that exist, and permanently ban the affiliate from registering again.
4. No affiliate may create documents that portray earnings that have not been sanctioned by the company. Words such as “investment”, “doubling”, “ROI”, “compounding”, or “interest”, guarantee in relations to income earned may be used.  Affiliates found to be in violation of these terms are subject to immediate termination and forfeiture of any products purchased.
