To support the Company’s direct selling distribution channel and to protect the independent contractor relationship, Influencers agree that they will not sell Wanae USA, LTD products in any wholesale, warehouse, or discount establishment, or any online auction or buy-sell site (including but not limited to eBay) without prior written approval from Wanae USA, LTD. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Influencers may display and sell Wanae USA, LTD products at professional trade shows.
 
20. Service Related Establishments. Influencers may promote and sell Wanae USA, LTD products in service-related estab-lishments. A service-related establishment is one whose primary revenue is earned by providing personal service rather than by selling products.  Such establishments include offices of doctors, dentists and other health professionals; health clubs or fitness centers; beauty salons; and any other business where customer use of the establishment is controlled by membership or appointment. Wanae USA, LTD reserves the right to make the final determination as to whether an establishment is service-related or is a proper place for the sale of its products.

Following the six-calendar month period of inactivity, the former Influencer may reapply under a new sponsor. The Influencer will lose all rights to his/her former downline organization upon his/her cancellation.
 
22. Waiver of Claims. In cases wherein an Influencer improperly changes his/her sponsor, Wanae USA, LTD reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine the final disposition of the downline organization that was developed by the Influencer in his/her second line of sponsorship. INFLUENCERS WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST WANAE USA, LTD, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS THAT RELATE TO OR ARISE FROM WANAE USA, LTD’s DECISION REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF ANY DOWNLINE ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS BELOW AN INFLUENCER WHO HAS IMPROPERLY CHANGED HIS/HER SPONSOR.
 
23. Product Claims. Influencers must not make claims, including but not limited to testimonials, about Wanae USA, LTD’s products or services that are not contained in official Wanae USA, LTD literature or posted on Wanae USA, LTD’s official website.

Nor may Influencers make “life-style” income claims. A “lifestyle” income claim is a statement or depiction that infers or states that the Influencer is able to enjoy a luxurious or successful lifestyle due to the income they earn from their Wanae USA, LTD business.

26. Compensation Plan and Program Claims. When presenting or discussing the Wanae USA, LTD compensation plan, you must make it clear to prospects that financial success in Wanae USA, LTD requires commitment, effort, and sales skill. Conversely, you must never represent that one can be successful without diligently applying themselves. Examples of mis-representations in this area include, but are not limited to:
 
•  It’s a turnkey system.
• The system will do the work for you.
• Just get in and your downline will build through spillover.
• Just join and I’ll build your down-line for you.
• The Company does all the work for you.
• You don’t have to sell anything.
• All you have to do is buy your products every month.
 
The above are just examples of improper representations about the compensation plan and the Company’s program. It is important that you do not make these, or any other representations, that could lead a prospect to believe that they can be successful as an Influencer without commitment, effort, and sales skill.
 
27. Media Inquiries.  Influencers must not interact with the media regarding the Wanae USA, LTD business or products. All inquiries from the media, including radio, television, print, online, or any other medium, shall be directed to Wanae USA, LTD’s marketing department.

For a period of 24 calendar months after an Influencer’s Wanae USA, LTD business is cancelled for any reason, , the former Influencer may not other Wanae USA, LTD Influencers for another network marketing business with the exception of those Influencers with whom the former Influencer had a personal or business relationship with prior to his/her initial enrollment as an Influencer. If a former Influencer Recruits an existing Influencer for another network marketing program within this 24 month period, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that no prior relationship existed between the former Influencer and the Influencer whom he or she Recruited.
 
The term “Recruit” means the direct or indirect, actual or attempted, sponsorship, solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort to influence in any other way, a Wanae USA, LTD Influencer to enroll or participate in another network marketing opportunity. This conduct constitutes Recruiting even if the Influencer’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Influencer or customer.
 
If an Influencer is engaged in another network marketing program, it is the responsibility of the Influencer to ensure that his or her Wanae USA, LTD business is operated entirely separate and apart from all other businesses and/or Network Marketing programs. To this end, the Influencer must not:

Confidential Information constitutes proprietary business trade secrets belonging exclusively to Wanae USA, LTD and is provided to Influencers in strict confidence.

If a third party acting on behalf of, or with the active or passive assistance or knowledge of an Influencer engages in conduct that would be a violation of the Agreement, the conduct of the third-party may be imputed to the Influencer. “Knowledge” of misconduct is not limited to actual knowledge. If an Influencer engages in acts or omissions that the Influencer knows or SHOULD KNOW will enable a third party to violate this Agreement if such action was taken by the Influencer, the Influencer shall be deemed to have knowledge of the violation.

Disputes or disagreements between any Influencer and Wanae USA, LTD shall be resolved through the dispute resolution process, and the Company and Influencers agree specifically not to demean, discredit, or criticize one another on the Internet or any other public forum.

Unearned compensation will be deducted, in the month in which the refund is issued or the chargeback occurs and continuing every pay period thereafter until the commission is recovered, from the upline Influencers who received bonuses and com-missions on the sales of the refunded products.

Wanae USA, LTD reserves the right to withhold or reduce any Influencer’s compensation as it deems necessary to comply with any garnishment or court order directing Wanae USA, LTD to retain, hold, or redirect such compensation to a third party.
 
37. Return of Merchandise and Sales Aids by Influencers Upon Cancellation or Termination.

Wanae USA, LTD may elect to exercise its indemnification rights through withholding any compensation due the Influencer.

44. Effect of Cancellation. A Influencer whose business is cancelled for any reason will lose all Influencer rights, benefits and privileges. This includes the right to represent yourself as an Independent Wanae USA, LTD Influencer, to sell Wanae USA, LTD products and services and the right to receive commissions, bonuses, or other income resulting from his/her own sales and the sales and other activities of the Influencer and the Influencer’s former downline sales organization. There is no whole or partial refund for tangible sales kits that are not currently marketable, Influencer Back-Office, replicated website or renewal fees if an Influencer’s business is cancelled.
 
45. Voluntary Cancellation. A participant in this network-marketing plan has a right to cancel at any time, regardless of reason.  Cancellation must be submitted in writing to the Company at its principal business address or by cancelling his/her business through the Influencer Back-Office. The written notice must include the Influencer’s signature, printed name, address, and Influencer I.D. Number. If an Influencer is also on the autoship program, the Influencer’s autoship order shall continue unless the Influencer also specifically requests that his or her customer autoship Agreement also be canceled. An Influencer may also voluntarily cancel his/her Wanae USA, LTD business by failing to pay his or her technology fees for 90 consecutive days or by withdrawing consent to con-tract electronically.
 
46. Cancellation for Inactivity. If an Influencer fails to earn a commission for six consecutive months, his/her Influencer Agreement and Wanae USA, LTD business will be cancelled for inactivity. If an Influencer is also on the customer autoship, the Influencer’s autoship order shall continue unless the Influencer also specifically re-quests that his or her autoship order also be canceled. The buyer shall then be classified as a retail customer.
 
47. Business Transfers. Influencers in good standing who wish to sell or transfer their business must receive Wanae USA, LTD’s prior written approval before the business may be transferred. Requests to transfer a business must be submitted in writing to the Compliance Department at www.wanaeusa.com/compliance. It is within Wanae USA, LTD’s discretion whether to allow a business sale or transfer, but such authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld. However, no business that is on disciplinary probation, suspension, or under disciplinary investigation may be transferred unless and until the disciplinary matter is resolved. Prior to transferring a business to a third party, the Influencer must offer Wanae USA, LTD the right of first refusal to purchase the business on the same terms as negotiated with a third party. The Company shall have ten days to exercise its right of first refusal.
 
48. Transfer Upon an Influencer’s Death. A Influencer may devise his/her business to his/her heirs. Because Wanae USA, LTD cannot divide commissions among multiple beneficiaries or transferees, the beneficiaries or transferees must form a business entity (corporation, LLC, partnership, etc.), and Wanae USA, LTD will transfer the business and issue commissions to the business entity. In the case of a business transfer via testamentary instrument, the beneficiary of the business must provide Wanae USA, LTD with certified letters testamentary and written instructions of the trustee of the estate, or an order of the court, that provides direction on the prop-er disposition of the business. The beneficiary must also execute and submit to the Company a Wanae USA, LTD Influencer Agreement within 30 days from the date on which the business is transferred by the estate to the beneficiary or the business will be cancelled.
 
49. Business Distribution Upon Divorce.  Wanae USA, LTD is not able to divide commissions among multiple parties, nor is it able to divide a downline organization. Consequently, in divorce cases, any settlement or divorce decree must award the business in its entirety to one party. Wanae USA, LTD will recognize as the owner of the business the former spouse to who is awarded the business pursuant to a legally binding settlement agreement or decree of the court. The former spouse who receives the Wanae USA, LTD business must also execute and submit a Wanae USA, LTD Influencer Agreement within 30 days from the date on which the divorce becomes final or the business will be cancelled.
 
50. Dissolution of a Business Entity. Wanae USA, LTD is not able to divide commissions among multiple parties, nor is it able to divide a downline organization. Consequently, in the event that a business entity that operates a Wanae USA, LTD business dissolves, the owners of the business entity must instruct the Company on the identity of the proper party who is to receive the business. The Wanae USA, LTD business must be awarded to a single individual or entity that was previously recognized by the Company as an owner of the business entity; the Company cannot divide the business among multiple parties or issue separate commission payments. If the business entity wishes to sell or transfer its Wanae USA, LTD business, it must do so pursuant to policy 47. In addition, the recipient of the Wanae USA, LTD business must also execute and submit a Wanae USA, LTD Influencer Agreement to the Company within 30 days from the date of the dissolution of the business entity or the Wanae USA, LTD business will be cancelled.
 
51. Inducing Influencers to Violate the Agreement. Influencers shall not directly or indirectly induce, encourage, or assist another Influencer to violate the Agreement.
 
52. Reporting Errors. If an Influencer believes that Wanae USA, LTD has made an error in his/her compensation, the structure or organization of his/her genealogy, or any other error that impacts the Influencer’s income, he/she must report it to the Company in writing within 60 days from the date on which the mistake occurred. While Wanae USA, LTD shall use its best efforts to correct errors reported more than 60 days after the date of the error, Wanae USA, LTD shall not be responsible to make changes or remunerate Influencers for losses for mistakes that are re-ported more than 60 days after the mistake occurs.
 
53. International Activities. Influencers may not sell Wanae USA, LTD products or conduct business activities of any nature in any foreign country that the Company has not announced is officially open for business.
 
54. Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between an Influencer and Wanae USA, LTD relating to the Agreement, the Wanae USA, LTD business, or the rights and obligations of either party, the parties shall resolve the dispute as set forth in this Dispute Resolution Provision.
 
a.  Stages of Dispute Resolution & General Dispute Resolution Procedures. Disputes between the Company and an Influencer(s) that arise from or relate to the Agreement, the business operated by the Influencer, or the opportunity offered by the Company shall be resolved according to the three-step procedure of (a) informal negotiation; (b) non-binding mediation; and (c) trial before a court for claims under $50,000.00 so long as equitable relief is not sought (except as set forth below), or binding arbitration if the claim is for $50,000.00 or more or if equitable relief is claimed. IF A CLAIM SEEKS DAM-AGES FOR $50,000.00 OR MORE, OR SEEKS EQUITABLE RELIEF (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW), THE PAR-TIES AGREE TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION AND WAIVE CLAIMS TO A TRIAL BEFORE ANY COURT OR JURY. The following shall apply to all proceedings under this dispute resolution provision:
 
•    Any claim a party has against the other must be brought within one year from the date on which the act or omission giving rise to the claim occurred. In cases in which informal negotiation is required, once informal negotiation is requested in writing the one-year limitation of actions provisions in this provision shall be tolled until the completion of the mediation phase of this provision and for ten calendar days thereafter.
•    At no time prior to the negotiation and mediation procedures below are completed shall either party initiate arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement or the business except as may be specified otherwise in this dispute resolution provision.
•    All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation and/or mediation by any of the par-ties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation and/or mediation.
•    Informal negotiations and mediation shall occur in Salt Lake City, Utah unless the parties mutually agree on an-other forum. Informal negotiations and mediation shall take place telephonically if either party requests such.
•    Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees, expert, professional and witness fees incurred in pursuing any claim, regardless of the forum.
•    If litigation is filed in court the action may be brought in the jurisdiction in which either party resides or has its principal place of business.
•    If arbitration is filed all arbitration proceedings shall be filed and held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
 
Step 1 - Informal Negotiation. The par-ties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Company’s business promptly by negotiation between the aggrieved Influencer(s) and executives of the Company who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. A party may, at its election, choose to be accompanied in such negotiation by an attorney. If one party elects to have its attorney present, the other party must also agree to have its attorney present if that party has retained counsel.
 
To institute the negotiation process, either party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within 10 days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and response shall include with reasonable particularity (a) a statement of each party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive and attorney who will ac-company that party (if applicable), or the name of the Influencer and his/her attorney (if applicable) who will accompany him/her in the negotiation. Within 20 days after delivery of the notice, the parties and the attorneys (as applicable) of both par-ties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place. Such meeting may occur telephonically if one party requests that the meeting be held telephonically.
 
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the negotiating parties, mediation may be commenced one business day following the close of the negotiation phase described above. The negotiation phase is “closed” when one party notifies the other in writing that it considers the negotiation “closed.” Such closure shall not preclude continuing or later negotiations if desired by both parties.
 
Step 2 – Mediation. If the parties are unsuccessful in resolving their dispute through good faith negotiation, they shall seek to resolve the dispute through mediation. If a party elects to pursue mediation, the party shall submit a written request for mediation to the other party within 10 calendar days after the negotiation phase is completed. The parties shall have 10 calendar days following such request to select a mutually acceptable mediator. If the parties cannot agree on a mutually acceptable mediator, they shall apply to JAMS to have a neutral mediator appoint-ed.
 
Mediation shall be conducted within 20 calendar days from the date on which the mediator is selected or appointed or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties and the mediator.
 
Unless otherwise agreed upon by the par-ties, the mediation shall be closed no later than 30 calendar days following the completion of the meeting between the media-tor and the parties.
 
Step 3(a) – Claims for under $50,000.00 with no claim for equitable relief. Claims for less than $50,000.00 and in which equitable relief is NOT sought may be brought pursuant to the arbitration provision below if the parties agree. If the parties do not agree, a claim may be brought before the small claims or district courts in the county in which either party resides or has its principal place of business.
 
Step 3(b) – Claims for $50,000.00 or more or claims seeking equitable relief - Confidential Arbitration. If a claim seeks $50,000.00 or more, or seeks equitable relief, and the parties do not successfully resolve their dispute through the negotiation and mediation procedures above, the dispute shall be resolved through binding confidential arbitration as set forth below.
 
Step 3(c) - Public Equitable Relief. If public equitable relief is authorized by federal or state statute, the parties agree that an action may be brought before the district court in the county in which either party resides or has its principal place of business so long as: (a) the relief sought is limited to public equitable relief that is authorized by federal or state statute; and (b) the public equitable relief is unavailable through arbitration proceedings. The confidentiality provisions and corresponding liquidated damage provisions for breach of confidentiality provision contained in this dispute resolution provision shall remain in effect for claims and actions asserted under this Step 3(c) unless an action is brought before a court as specifically permitted pursuant to this subsection and the disclosure is related solely to material that is not filed with the court under seal.
 
b. JAMS to Administer Arbitration. The arbitration shall be filed with, and administered by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Rules and Procedures, which are available on JAMS’ website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rulesclauses/xpqGC.aspx?xpST=RulesClauses. Copies of JAMS Rules and Procedures will also be emailed to Influencers upon request to Wanae USA, LTD’s customer Service Department. Notwithstanding the rules of JAMS, unless otherwise stipulated by the Parties, the following shall apply to all Arbitration actions:
 
•    The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply in all cases;
 
•    The Parties shall be entitled to all discovery rights permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;
 
•    The Parties shall be entitled to bring motions under Rules 12 and/or 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;
 
•    The arbitration hearing shall commence no later than 365 days from the date on which the arbitrator is appointed, and shall last no more than five business days;
 
•    The Parties shall be allotted equal time to present their respective cases;
 
•    An Arbitrator's Award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim. The award will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based;
 
•    Any dispute relating to whether the dispute is subject to arbitration shall be decided by through arbitration.
 
c. Confidentiality. With the exception of discussing the claims with bona fide witnesses to the dispute, neither party shall verbally or in writing discuss, publish, or otherwise disseminate the claims, allegations, merits, evidence, positions, pleadings, testimony, rulings, awards, orders, issues, or any other aspect of the dispute to any third party, including but not limited to disclosure on the internet or on any social media or blog platform, prior to, during, or after any phase of the dispute resolution process unless a specific exemption contained in this dispute resolution provision applies.
 
d.  Liquidated Damages for Breach of the Confidentiality Obligation. If a Party violates its confidentiality obligations under this arbitration provision, the non-breaching party shall incur significant damages to its reputation and goodwill that shall not be readily calculable. Therefore, if a Party, its attorneys, agents, or a proxy of a party breaches the confidentiality provision of this dispute resolution provision, the following shall apply:
 
•    The non-breaching party shall be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000.00 per violation, or $50,000 per violation if the disclosure is published on the internet, including but not limited to disclosure on any website or on any social media forum. Every disclosure of each claim, allegation, pleading, or other prohibited dis-closure shall constitute a separate violation. Notwithstanding this confidentiality and liquidated damage provision, nothing herein shall limit the right or ability of a Party to disclose evidence, claims or allegations relating to the dispute to any individual who is, or who may be, a bona fide witness to the dispute. The Parties agree that this liquidated damage amount is reasonable and waive all claims and defenses that it constitutes a penalty; AND
 
•    Breach of the confidentiality provision by disseminating or publishing  information described in subparagraph c. above through any form of mass media (including but not limited to posting on the Internet or on any social media platform) by a party, a party’s agent, or a party’s proxy shall constitute an act of wanton and gross bad faith, and shall constitute a waiver of the beaching party’s right to pursue the claim(s) and/or defense(s) against the non-breaching party, and shall entitled the non-breaching party to a default judgment against the breaching party.
 
e. Emergency Relief. Either party may bring an action before JAMS seeking emergency relief to protect its intellectual property rights, including but not limited to protecting its rights pursuant to the non-solicitation provisions of these policies. A claim or cause of action seeking emergency relief shall be brought pursuant to the Emergency Relief Procedures in JAMS Comprehensive Rules and Procedures, available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/#Rule%202, or by contacting the company at sup-port@wanaeusa.com The parties agree that any violation of the Nonsolicitation provisions (policy 28) or Confidential Information (policy 29) provisions of these policies shall entitle Wanae USA, LTD to emergency and permanent equitable relief because: (a) there shall be no adequate remedy at law; (b) Wanae USA, LTD shall suffer immediate and irreparable harm should such policies be breached; and (c) if emergency and permanent equitable re-lief is not granted, the injury to Wanae USA, LTD shall outweigh the potential harm to Influencer if emergency and/or permanent equitable relief is granted.
 
f. Disputes Not Subject the Three-Step Dispute Resolution Procedure. A party need not go through the informal negotiation or mediation steps in the following situations:
 
•    Action to Enforce Arbitration Award or Order. Either party may bring an action in a court properly vested with jurisdiction to enforce an Arbitration award or order, including but not limited to an order for emergency relief.
 
•    Petitions for Emergency Relief. If a party deems it necessary to seek emergency relief to protect its interests, it may seek emergency relief as set forth in this arbitration provision without engaging in the negotiation provision mediation process set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties are encouraged, but not required, to engage in negotiation and or mediation concurrently with any pending request for emergency relief.
 
•    Public Equitable Relief. If public equitable relief is authorized by federal or state statute, an action may be brought before a court properly vested with jurisdiction over the parties so long as: (a) the relief sought is limited to public equitable relief that is authorized by federal or state statute; and (b) the public equitable relief is unavailable through arbitration proceedings.
 
•    Disciplinary Sanctions. The Company shall not be required to engage in the three-step dispute resolution process prior to imposing disciplinary sanctions for violation of the Agreement.
 
g. Remedies. Remedies available to you under U.S. federal laws, and the state and local laws of your state, shall remain available to you in any arbitration proceeding.
 
55. Class Action Waiver. All disputes, whether pursued through arbitration or before the courts, that arise from or relate to the Agreement, that arise from or relate to the Wanae USA, LTD business, or that arise from or relate to the relationship between the parties, shall be brought and proceed on an individual basis. The parties waive their rights to pursue any action against the other party and/or their respective owners, officers, directors and agents, on a class or consolidated basis. You may opt out of this class action waiver if you wish by submitting written notice to the Company of your desire to opt out within 30 days from the date on which you enroll as an Influencer. Submit your written opt-out notice to the Company at customersupport@wannaeusa.com.
 
56.   Governing Law. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all matters relating to arbitration. Except as is otherwise specifically referenced in these policies, the law of the State of Utah without regard to principals of conflicts of laws, shall govern all other matters relating to or arising from the Agreement, the business, the relationship between the parties, or any other claim between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute is brought in a small claims court properly vested with jurisdiction, the law of the state in which the small claims court re-sides shall apply.
 
57.  Damages for Wrongful Termination. In any case which arises from or relates to the wrongful termination of an Influencer’s Agreement and/or independent business, the parties agree that damages will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, the parties stipulate that if the involuntary termination of an Influencer’s Agreement and/or loss of their independent business is proven and held to be wrongful under any theory of law, Influencer’s sole remedy shall be liquidated damages calculated as follows:
 
•    For Influencers earning up to $10,000.00 in the 12 calendar months prior to termination, liquidated dam-ages shall be in the amount of her gross compensation that he/she earned pursuant to Wanae USA, LTD’s Compensation Plan in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination.
•    For Influencers earning between $10,000.01 and $20,000.00 during the 12 calendar months prior to termination, liquidated damages shall be in the amount of her gross compensation that he/she earned pursuant to Wanae USA, LTD’s Compensation Plan in the twenty-four (24) months immediately preceding the termination.
•    For Influencers earning more than $20,000.00 in the 12 calendar months prior to termination, liquidated damages shall be in the amount of her gross compensation that he/she earned pursuant to Wanae USA, LTD’s Compensation Plan in the thirty-six (36) months immediately preceding the termination.
 
58. Damage Waiver. In any action arising from or relating to the Agreement, the parties waive all claims for incidental and/or consequential damages, even if the other party has been apprised of the likelihood of such damage. The parties further waive all claims to exemplary and punitive damages. Nothing in this provision or this Agreement shall restrict or limit a Party’s right to recover liquidated damages as set forth in these Terms & Policies.
 
59. Louisiana Residents. The dispute resolution provisions in these Policies shall apply to Louisiana residents with the exception that Louisiana residents may bring arbitration against Wanae USA, LTD in his/her home forum and pursuant to Louisiana law.
