1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. POLICIES AND BUSINESS PLAN INCORPORATED INTO MEMBER AGREEMENT

These Policies and Procedures, in their present form and as amended at the sole discretion of TELOYOUTH, INC (hereafter “TELOYOUTH” or the “Company”), are incorporated into, and form an integral part of the TELOYOUTH Member Agreement. Throughout these Policies, when the term “Agreement” is used, it collectively refers to the TELOYOUTH Member Application and Agreement, these Policies and Procedures and the TELOYOUTH Business Plan. These documents are incorporated by reference into the TELOYOUTH Member Agreement (all in their current form and as amended by TELOYOUTH). It is the responsibility of each Member to read, understand, adhere to, and ensure that he or she is aware of and operating under the most current version of these Policies and Procedures. When sponsoring or enrolling a new Member (a “Member” refers to either an “Affiliate or “Customer”), it is the responsibility of the sponsoring Member to ensure that the applicant is provided with, or has online access to, the most current version of these Policies and Procedures and the TELOYOUTH Business Plan prior to his or her execution of the Member Agreement.

1.2. PURPOSE OF THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

TELOYOUTH is a direct sales Company that markets its products through Members. It is important to understand that the success of all Members depends on the integrity of the men and women who market our products. To clearly define the relationship that exists between Members and TELOYOUTH, and to explicitly set a standard for acceptable business conduct, TELOYOUTH has established the Agreement. TELOYOUTH Members are required to comply with all of the Terms and Conditions set forth in the Agreement, as well as all laws governing their TELOYOUTH business and their conduct. Because Members may be unfamiliar with many of these standards of practice, it is very important that they read and abide by the Agreement. Please review the information in this document carefully. It explains and governs the relationship between the Member, as an independent contractor and the Company. If there are questions regarding any policy or rule, do not hesitate to seek an answer from TELOYOUTH.

1.3. CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT

Because laws, as well as the business environment, periodically change, TELOYOUTH reserves the right to amend the Agreement and its prices at its sole and absolute discretion. Amendments shall be effective upon publication of notice that the Agreement has been modified. Notification of amendments shall be published by one or more of the following methods: a. Posting on the Company’s official website; or b. Electronic mail (email). The continuation of a Member’s TELOYOUTH business or a Member’s acceptance of bonuses or commissions constitutes acceptance of any and all amendments.

1.4. DELAYS

TELOYOUTH 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, earthquakes, death, and curtailment of a party’s source of supply, or government decrees or orders.

1.5. POLICIES AND PROVISIONS SEVERABLE

If any provision of the Agreement, in its current form or as may be amended, is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, only the invalid portion(s) of the provision shall be severed, and the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The severed provision, or portion thereof, shall be reformed to reflect the purpose of the provision as closely as possible.

1.6. 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 TELOYOUTH to exercise any right or power under the Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance by a Member 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 TELOYOUTH’s right to demand exact compliance with the Agreement. Waiver by TELOYOUTH can be effectuated only in writing by an authorized officer of the Company. TELOYOUTH’s waiver of any particular breach by a Member shall not affect or impair TELOYOUTH’s rights with respect to any subsequent breach, nor shall it affect in any way the rights or obligations of any other Member. Nor shall any delay or omission by TELOYOUTH to exercise any right arising from a breach affect or impair TELOYOUTH’s rights as to that or any subsequent breach. The existence of any claim or cause of action of a Member against TELOYOUTH shall not constitute a defense to TELOYOUTH’s enforcement of any term or provision of the Agreement.

1.7. SECURE PAYMENT SYSTEM 

TELOYOUTH provides SSL encryption and credit card security to all customers.

3.2. ADVERTISING

3.2.1. General: All Members shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of TELOYOUTH and its products. The marketing and promotion of TELOYOUTH, the TELOYOUTH opportunity, the Business Plan, and TELOYOUTH products shall be consistent with the public interest, and must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical, or immoral conduct and practices. Members must use the sales tools and support materials produced by TELOYOUTH, or materials and sales tools approved by TELOYOUTH, to promote both the products and the business opportunity. TELOYOUTH has carefully designed its products, product labels, Business plan, and promotional materials to ensure that each aspect of TELOYOUTH is fair, truthful, substantiated, and complies with the vast and complex legal requirements of government laws. Accordingly, Members must submit all written sales tools, promotional materials, advertisements, and other literature to the Company for approval. Members may not use such tools unless written approval is received from TELOYOUTH’S Compliance Department. TELOYOUTH further reserves the right to rescind approval for any sales tools, promotional materials, advertisements, or other literature, and Members waive all claims for damages or remuneration arising from or relating to such rescission.

Promoting products or the business opportunity through an unapproved Internet website is strictly prohibited.

If sold to a Customer, product prices must not be lower than the Company’s suggested retail price, plus reasonable shipping and the amount the Company charges for taxes and handling of the product. In connection with this Section, the Member also agrees that all advertising regarding the price of products will be truthful and will not contain misleading statements (e.g. “lowest price available”, which implies that a Member is able to sell the products at a price lower than other Members, etc.) Member acknowledges and agrees that he or she shall not advertise or sell any product on the Internet which was purchased or provided from another Member. Any violation of this Section by a Member shall constitute a breach of the Contract and will be subject to the breach of Contract procedures set forth herein.

3.2.3. Sales on Online Auction Sites Prohibited: Members may not advertise, promote the sale of, sell or attempt to sell TELOYOUTH products on any online auction or classified ad site including, without limitation, eBay, Craigslist or Amazon.

3.2.5. Trademarks and Copyrights: TELOYOUTH will not allow the use of its trade names, trademarks, designs, or symbols by any person, including TELOYOUTH Members, without TELOYOUTH’s prior written permission. Members may not produce for sale or distribution any recorded Company events and speeches without written permission from TELOYOUTH, nor may Members reproduce for sale or for personal use any recording of Company produced audio or video presentations.

3.2.6. Media and Media Inquiries: Members must not attempt to respond to media inquiries regarding TELOYOUTH, its products, or their independent TELOYOUTH business. All inquiries from or by any type of media must be immediately referred to TELOYOUTH’s Compliance Department, by submitting an email to [email protected]. This policy is designed to ensure that accurate and consistent information is provided to the public as well as a proper public image.

3.2.7. Unsolicited Email, Text, Fax or other Regulated Means of Communication: TELOYOUTH does not permit Members to send unsolicited commercial emails, texts, faxes, etc., unless such communications strictly comply with applicable laws and regulations including, without limitation, the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Any communication sent by a Member that promotes TELOYOUTH, the TELOYOUTH opportunity, or TELOYOUTH products must comply with the following: a. There must be a functioning “opt-out” notice, a return email address and phone number of the sender; b.

The communication must clearly and conspicuously disclose that the message is an advertisement or solicitation; d. The use of deceptive subject lines and/or false header information is prohibited; e.

The enrollment of individuals or entities without the knowledge of and/or execution of a Member Application and Agreement by such individuals or entities; b. The fraudulent enrollment of an individual or entity as a Member; c. The enrollment or attempted enrollment of non-existent individuals or entities as Members (“phantoms”); d. Purchasing TELOYOUTH products on behalf of another Member, or under another Member’s identification number, to qualify for commissions or bonuses; e. Purchasing excessive amounts of goods that cannot reasonably be used or resold in a year; and/or f. Any other mechanism or artifice to qualify for rank advancement, incentives, prizes, commissions or bonuses that is not driven by bona fide product purchases by end user consumers.

3.4. BUSINESS ENTITIES

A Corporation, Partnership or Nonprofit Organization (collectively referred to in this section as a “Business Entity”) may apply to be a TELOYOUTH Member by submitting its Articles of Incorporation, Certificate of Incorporation, Form 990 for Nonprofit Organizations or Partnership Agreement (these documents are collectively referred to as the “Entity Documents”) to TELOYOUTH, along with a properly completed Member form.

3.4.1. Changes to a Business Entity: A TELOYOUTH Business Entity may change its status under the same sponsor from an individual to a Corporation, Partnership, Nonprofit Organization, or from one type of entity to another. There is a $25.00 fee for each change requested, which must be included with the written request and the completed Member Application and Agreement. The Member form must be signed by all the shareholders, partners or trustees.

Members of the entity are jointly and severally liable for any indebtedness or other obligation to TELOYOUTH. To prevent the circumvention of the section regarding transfers and assignments of TELOYOUTH business, if an additional partner, shareholder, member, or other business entity affiliate is added to a business entity, the original applicant must remain as a party to the original Member Application and Agreement. Please note that the modifications permitted within the scope of this paragraph do not include a change of sponsorship. TELOYOUTH may, at its discretion, require notarized documents before implementing any changes to a TELOYOUTH business. Please allow thirty (30) days after the receipt of the request by TELOYOUTH for processing. It is at TELOYOUTH’s sole discretion whether the requested change will be implemented.

3.5. CHANGE OF SPONSOR OR PLACEMENT

To protect the integrity of all marketing organizations and safeguard the hard work of all Members, TELOYOUTH strongly discourages changes in sponsorship or placement. Maintaining the integrity of sponsorship is critical for the success of every Member and marketing organization. Accordingly, the transfer of a TELOYOUTH business from one sponsor to another or change in placement is rarely permitted.

3.5.1. Sponsorship Misrepresentation: In cases in which the new Member is sponsored by someone other than the individual he or she was led to believe would be his or her sponsor, a Member may request that he or she be transferred to another organization with his or her entire marketing organization intact. Requests for transfer under this policy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and must be made within three (3) business days from the date of enrollment. The Member requesting the change has the burden of proving that he or she was placed beneath the wrong sponsor. It is at TELOYOUTH’s sole discretion whether the requested change will be implemented.

 3.5.2. Misplacement: In those instances in which a new Member is placed in a location in the organization that is different than his or her sponsor intended, the sponsor may request that he or she be placed in the correct location. Such a request for transfer pursuant to this policy, must be made within three (3) business days from the date of enrollment. It is at TELOYOUTH’s sole discretion whether the requested change will be implemented. If the sponsor intentionally misplaces the Member, the sponsor can be immediately terminated or suspended at the sole discretion of TELOYOUTH.

3.5.3. Line Switching, Cross-Sponsoring and Enticement: Members agree that maintaining the integrity of the line of sponsorship in a Member organization is fundamental to network marketing. Accordingly, the Member agrees to not engage in line switching, cross-sponsoring and/or enticement.

Line Switching means applying for and becoming a Member: a. When already a Member; b. When holding a beneficial interest in another Membership; and/or c. When less than six (6) months have passed since having been a Member or having held a beneficial interest in another Member; distributorship. Cross-sponsoring means the enrollment of another Member (including a Member whose Agreement was terminated within the preceding six (6) months or has sponsored or purchased product in the preceding six (6) months) to a different line of sponsorship. Enticement means soliciting, encouraging, offering benefits, or in any way aiding another Member to line switch and/or Members shall not use a spouse’s or relative’s name, trade names, assumed or fictitious names, legal entities, false government issued identification numbers, or fictitious ID numbers to circumvent this policy. Because line switching, cross-sponsoring and enticement can be detrimental to everyone involved, any Member who believes, or has reason to believe that another Member is in violation of this policy, the Member has an affirmative obligation to notify TELOYOUTH of such violation as soon as reasonably possible.

Should any Member breach these covenants, TELOYOUTH may take any or all of the following actions: a. Termination of the Member Agreement of the Member(s) in breach; b. Terminate the Member Agreement(s) of the Member(s) enrolled as a result of line switching. TELOYOUTH is under no obligation to allow any move(s). The ultimate disposition of the organization remains within the sole discretion of Members in violation of this policy. Members waive all claims against TELOYOUTH that arise from or relate to the disposition of such.

3.5.4. Transfer Sponsorship: The Member seeking to transfer sponsorship needs to submit a properly completed and fully executed Sponsorship Transfer Form which includes the signed approval of all parties (up to seven (7) levels) whose income will be affected by the transfer. Photocopied or facsimile signatures are not acceptable. The Member who requests the transfer must submit a fee of $150.00 for administrative charges and data processing. If the transferring Member also wants to move any of the Members in his or her marketing organization, each downline Member must also obtain a properly completed Sponsorship Transfer Form and return it to TELOYOUTH with the $150.00 change fee (i.e., the transferring Member and each Member in his or her marketing organization multiplied by $150.00 is the cost to move a TELOYOUTH business). All Members will not be moved with the transferring Member unless all of the requirements of this paragraph are met. Transferring Members must allow thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of the Sponsorship Transfer Forms by TELOYOUTH for processing and verifying change requests. In cases wherein the appropriate sponsorship change procedures have not been followed and a downline organization has been developed in the second business by a Member, TELOYOUTH 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, Members waive any and all claims against TELOYOUTH that relate to or arise from TELOYOUTH’s decision regarding the disposition of any downline organization that develops below an organization that has improperly changed lines of sponsorship.

 3.5.5. Cancelation and Re-Application: A Member may legitimately change organizations by voluntarily canceling his or her TELOYOUTH Member Agreement and remaining inactive for six (6) full calendar months. During the six (6) month period of inactivity, the former Member may not participate in any form of Member activity including, but not limited to: a. Purchasing TELOYOUTH products for resale; b. Selling TELOYOUTH products; c. Sponsoring other TELOYOUTH Members; d. Attending any TELOYOUTH functions; e. Attending any TELOYOUTH related functions sponsored by TELOYOUTH Members; f. Operating or assisting in the operation of a TELOYOUTH Member’s TELOYOUTH business; g. Performing any activity or function that is normally performed by a TELOYOUTH Member or such Member’s employees; h. Or any other activity that in the sole discretion of the Company constitutes a meaningful promotion of the TELOYOUTH business.

Following the six (6) month period of inactivity, the former Member may reapply under a new sponsor, however, TELOYOUTH may, at its discretion, accept or deny the application. The former Member’s organization will remain in their original line of sponsorship. Any attempt to cross-recruit may result in disciplinary action.

3.6. UNAUTHORIZED CLAIMS AND ACTIONS

3.6.1. Indemnification: A Member is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal and written statements made regarding TELOYOUTH products and the Business Plan which are not expressly contained in official TELOYOUTH materials. Members agree to indemnify TELOYOUTH and TELOYOUTH’s directors, officers, employees, and agents, and hold them harmless from any and all liability and/or loss (whether direct or indirect, consequential or economic loss) including judgments, civil and/or criminal penalties, damages, refunds, legal advice fees, court costs, or lost business incurred by or imposed on TELOYOUTH as a result of the Member’s unauthorized representations or actions. This provision shall survive the termination of the Member Agreement.

3.6.2. Product Claims: No claims (which include personal testimonials) as to therapeutic, curative or beneficial properties of any products offered by TELOYOUTH may be made except those contained in official TELOYOUTH literature. In particular, no Member may make any claim that TELOYOUTH products are useful in the cure, treatment, diagnosis, mitigation or prevention of any diseases. Such statements can be perceived as medical or drug claims. Not only do such claims violate TELOYOUTH policies, but they potentially violate government laws and regulations.

3.6.3. Income Claims: In their enthusiasm to enroll prospective Members, some Members are occasionally tempted to make income claims or earnings representations to demonstrate the inherent power of network marketing. This is counterproductive because new Members may become disappointed if their results are not as extensive or as rapid as the results others have achieved. The TELOYOUTH income potential is great enough to be highly attractive without reporting the earnings of others. Moreover, there are laws or regulations that regulate or even prohibit certain types of income claims and testimonials made by persons engaged in network marketing. While Members may believe it beneficial to provide copies of checks or to disclose the earnings of themselves or others, such approaches have legal consequences that can negatively impact TELOYOUTH, as well as the Member making the claim unless appropriate disclosures required by law are also made contemporaneously with the income claim or earnings representation. Because TELOYOUTH Members do not have the data necessary to comply with the legal requirements for making income claims, a Member, when presenting or discussing the TELOYOUTH opportunity or Business Plan to a prospective Member, may not make income projections, income claims, or disclose his or her TELOYOUTH income (including the showing of checks, copies of checks, bank statements, tax records, etc.)

3.7. TRADE SHOWS, EXPOSITIONS AND OTHER SALES FORUMS

Members may display and/or sell TELOYOUTH products at trade shows and professional expositions. Before submitting a deposit to the event promoter, Members must contact Customer Support by emailing [email protected] for conditional approval, as TELOYOUTH’s policy is to authorize only one TELOYOUTH business per event. Final approval will be granted to the first Member who submits an official advertisement of the event, a copy of the contract signed by both the Member and the event official, and a receipt indicating that a deposit for the booth has been paid. Approval is given only for the event specified. Any requests to participate in future events must again be submitted to the Customer Support Department. TELOYOUTH further reserves the right to refuse authorization to participate at any function which it does not deem a suitable forum for the promotion of its products or the TELOYOUTH opportunity. Approval will not be given for swap meets, garage sales, flea markets or farmers’ markets, as these events are not conducive to the professional image TELOYOUTH wishes to portray.

3.8. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

3.8.1. Non-solicitation and Noncompetition: TELOYOUTH Members are free to participate in other multilevel or network marketing business ventures or marketing opportunities (collectively “Network Marketing”). However, Members may not directly or indirectly recruit other TELOYOUTH Members for any other Network Marketing business. This includes general solicitations on social networking sites where “friends” include persons not personally sponsored by the Member and who are already TELOYOUTH Members. A Member who participates in another Network Marketing business agrees to operate his or her TELOYOUTH Membership entirely separate and apart from the other Network Marketing business. Accordingly, Members who choose to participate in other Network Marketing businesses agree that they shall not: a. Display any non-TELOYOUTH product(s) and/or sales aids with, or in the same location as TELOYOUTH product(s) and/or sales aids; b. Offer any non-TELOYOUTH program, opportunity, product, or service in conjunction with the TELOYOUTH opportunity; or c. Offer any non-TELOYOUTH opportunity, products, or services at any TELOYOUTH related meeting, seminar or convention, or within two (2) hours and a five (5) mile (8 kilometers) radius of the TELOYOUTH event. If the TELOYOUTH meeting is held telephonically to prospective or existing Customers or Members; or d. on the Internet, any non-TELOYOUTH meeting must be at least two (2) hours before or after the TELOYOUTH meeting, and on a different conference telephone number or Internet web address from the TELOYOUTH meeting.

3.8.2. Non-solicitation after Termination: Following the cancelation of a Member’s Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the former Member may not recruit any TELOYOUTH Member for another network marketing business. If a Member did not personally sponsor another Member, he or she is prohibited, for one (1) year following the date of cancelation of the contract, from recruiting that Member to sell or purchase products or services. Members and the Company recognize that because network marketing is conducted through networks of independent contractors dispersed across the entire United States and internationally, and business is commonly conducted via the Internet and telephone, an effort to narrowly limit the geographic scope of this non-solicitation provision would render it wholly ineffective. Therefore, Members and TELOYOUTH agree that this non-solicitation provision shall apply to all markets in which TELOYOUTH conducts business. This shall survive termination of the Agreement. Any violation of this agreement, the Company may, without waiving any other rights or remedies, seek an injunction, or other equitable remedy to prevent further prohibited recruiting activities, and may pursue other legal remedies.

3.8.3. Definition of Cross Recruit: For purposes of these Policies and Procedures, the term “Recruit” means the actual or attempted sponsorship, solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort to influence in any other way, either directly, indirectly, or through a third party, another TELOYOUTH Member to enroll or participate in another multilevel marketing, network marketing or direct sales opportunity. The conduct described in the preceding sentence constitutes recruiting even if the Member’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Member. Except in California, the foregoing conduct constitutes recruiting even if the Member’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Member.

3.8.4. Confidential Information: Not withstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Member shall never use TELOYOUTH trade secrets and other Confidential Information, as further described herein, to solicit, recruit whether directly or indirectly, other TELOYOUTH Members. Confidential Information is information disclosed to Members pursuant to the Contract including, but not limited to, information regarding: a. Downline organizations or upline Members, including Member names and contact information, customer information; and b. Customer lists, business reports, commission or sales reports, business plans, projections, trade secrets, intellectual property, analysis, and related information and other financial and business information that would be reasonably understood to be confidential and/or give competitive advantage.

To protect the Confidential Information, a Member shall not, on his or her own behalf, or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity: a. Directly or indirectly disclose any Confidential Information to any third party; b. Directly or indirectly disclose the password or other access codes to his or her back office; c. Use any Confidential Information to compete with TELOYOUTH or for any purpose; d. Recruit or solicit any Member or customer of TELOYOUTH listed on any report or in the Member’s back office, or in any manner attempt to influence or induce any Member of TELOYOUTH, to alter their business relationship with TELOYOUTH.

The obligation of a Member to not disclose any Confidential Information shall survive cancelation or termination of the Agreement, and shall remain effective and binding irrespective of whether a Member’s Agreement has been terminated, or whether the Member is or is not otherwise affiliated with the Company, and is subject to legal enforcement by injunction and award of costs and fees necessarily incurred.

3.8.5. Information Gathered in the Promotion of TELOYOUTH: Members agree that information gathered by a Member about other Members by virtue of their association with TELOYOUTH, or in connection with their promotion of TELOYOUTH products or sales materials, is considered proprietary information that belongs to TELOYOUTH and Members are bound to the non-disclosure provisions of these policies and procedures in relation to this information.

3.9. TARGETING OTHER DIRECT SELLERS

TELOYOUTH does not condone Members specifically or consciously targeting the sales force of any other direct sales Company to sell TELOYOUTH products or to become Members for TELOYOUTH. Nor does TELOYOUTH condone the solicitation or enticement, by a Member, of any of the members of the sales force of another direct sales company to violate the terms of their contract with such other company. Should a Member engage in such activity, the Member bears the risk of being sued by the other direct sales company. If any lawsuit, arbitration or mediation is brought by another company against a Member alleging that he or she engaged in inappropriate recruiting activity of its sales force or customers, TELOYOUTH will not pay any of such a Member’s defense costs or legal fees, nor will TELOYOUTH indemnify the Member for any judgment, award, or settlement. Members agree to indemnify TELOYOUTH and TELOYOUTH’s directors, officers, employees, and agents, and hold them harmless from any and all liability and/or loss (whether direct or indirect, consequential or economic loss) including judgments, civil and/or criminal penalties, damages, refunds, legal advice fees, court costs, or lost business incurred by or imposed on TELOYOUTH as a result of any breach of the terms by that Member.

3.10. ERRORS OR QUESTIONS

If a Member has questions about or believes any errors have been made regarding commissions, bonuses, reports, or charges, the Member must notify TELOYOUTH in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the purported error or incident in question. TELOYOUTH will not be responsible for any errors, omissions or problems not reported to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days.

3.11. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL OR ENDORSEMENT

Neither federal nor state regulatory agencies and/or officials approve or endorse any direct selling or network marketing companies or programs. Therefore, Members shall not represent or imply that TELOYOUTH or its Business Plan have been ‘approved,’ ‘endorsed’ or otherwise sanctioned by any government agency.

3.12. HOLDING APPLICATIONS OR ORDERS

Members must not manipulate enrollments of new applicants and purchases of products. All Member Applications, Agreements and product orders must be sent to TELOYOUTH within two (2) business days from the time they are signed by a Member or placed by a customer, respectively.

3.13. TAXES

Each Member is responsible for paying applicable taxes on any income generated as a Member.

3.14. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS

Members are independent contractors and are not purchasers of a franchise or a business opportunity. The agreement between TELOYOUTH and its Members does not create an employer/employee relationship, agency, partnership, or joint venture between the Company and the Member. Members shall not be treated as an employee for his or her services or for tax purposes. All Members are responsible for paying taxes due from all Business earned as a Member of the Company. The Member has no authority (expressed or implied), to bind the Company to any obligation. Each Independent Member shall establish his or her own goals, hours, and methods of sale, so long as he or she complies with the terms of the Member Agreement, these Policies and Procedures, and applicable laws.

3.15. INTERNATIONAL MARKETING

Members are authorized to sell TELOYOUTH products and enroll Members in any country that the Company has officially sanctioned to be open and available to all Members for conducting business. TELOYOUTH may specify certain countries subject to a “Pre-Launch Period” in which Members may also conduct business. The Company may formally announce a Pre-Launch Period at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the official opening. A Member, unless preapproved by TELOYOUTH, has no authority to and shall not conduct the TELOYOUTH business nor introduce or establish the Company’s business or product in any country that has not been officially sanctioned to be open and available to all Members for conducting business or any country that is not the subject of a Pre-Launch Period announcement from the Company. This includes but is not limited to any attempts to secure approval for products or business practices; register or reserve the Company names, trademarks, trade names, or Internet domain names; or establish any kind of business or governmental contact on behalf of the Company. A Member may not ship sales aids into any unauthorized country.

3.16. ONE TELOYOUTH BUSINESS PER MEMBER AND PER HOUSEHOLD

A Member may operate or have an ownership interest, legal or equitable, as a sole proprietorship, partner, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary, in only one TELOYOUTH business. No individual may have, operate or receive Business from more than one TELOYOUTH business. TELOYOUTH deems all persons residing in the Member’s household a beneficial interest in their Membership. However, if adequate proof can be provided that another adult who is not a spouse is operating a Membership separately, TELOYOUTH may waive this rule until circumstances change. If a Member marries another Member, no effect will be given to the provisions of this section and the two may maintain separate and distributorships.

3.17. ACTIONS OF HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS OR AFFILIATED INDIVIDUALS

If any member of a Member’s immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed by the Member, would violate any provision of the Agreement, such activity will be deemed a violation by the Member and TELOYOUTH may take disciplinary action against the Member. Similarly, if any individual Member in any way with a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity (collectively “affiliated individual”) violates the Agreement, such action(s) will be deemed a violation by the entity, and TELOYOUTH may take disciplinary action against the entity.

3.18. SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF A TELOYOUTH BUSINESS

Although a TELOYOUTH business is a privately owned, independently operated business, the sale, transfer or assignment of a TELOYOUTH business is subject to certain limitations. If a Member wishes to sell his or her TELOYOUTH business, the following criteria must be met; a. Protection of the existing line of sponsorship must always be maintained so that the TELOYOUTH business continues to be operated in that line of sponsorship; b. The buyer or transferee must be eligible to become a qualified TELOYOUTH Member. If the buyer is an active TELOYOUTH Member, he or she must first terminate his or her TELOYOUTH business and wait six (6) calendar months before acquiring any interest in a different TELOYOUTH business; c. Before the sale, transfer, or assignment can be finalized and approved by TELOYOUTH, any debt obligations the selling Member has with TELOYOUTH must be satisfied; d. The selling Member must be in good standing and not in violation of any of the terms of the Agreement in order to be eligible to sell, transfer or assign a TELOYOUTH business. Prior to selling a TELOYOUTH distributorship, the selling Member must notify TELOYOUTH’s Customer Support Department of his or her intent to sell the TELOYOUTH distributorship by submitting a Sponsorship Sale/Transfer form and all applicable business agreements together with the transfer fee of $150. No changes in line of sponsorship can result from the sale or transfer of a TELOYOUTH distributorship. TELOYOUTH must approve the Sale/Transfer and has the right to refuse any Sale/Transfer of any distributorship.

3.19. EFFECTS OF DIVORCE OR ENTITY DISSOLUTION ON THE TELOYOUTH BUSINESS

TELOYOUTH Members sometimes operate their TELOYOUTH businesses as husband-wife partnerships, regular partnerships, corporations, or trusts. At such time as a marriage may end in divorce or a corporation, partnership or trust (the latter three (3) entities are collectively referred to herein as “entities”) may dissolve, arrangements must be made to assure that any divorce or entity dissolution is accomplished so as not to adversely affect the interests and income of other businesses up or down the line of sponsorship. During the divorce or entity dissolution process, the parties must adopt one of the following methods of operation: a. One of the parties may, with consent of the other(s), operate the TELOYOUTH business pursuant to an assignment in writing whereby the relinquishing spouse, shareholders, partners or trustees authorize TELOYOUTH to deal directly and solely with the other spouse or non- relinquishing shareholder, partner or trustee; b. The parties may continue to operate the TELOYOUTH business jointly on a business-as-usual basis; whereupon, all Business paid by TELOYOUTH 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 set forth above. Under no circumstances will the organization of divorcing spouses or a dissolving business entity be divided. Similarly, under no circumstances will TELOYOUTH split commission and bonus checks between divorcing spouses or members of dissolving entities. TELOYOUTH will recognize only one organization and will issue only one commission check per TELOYOUTH business per commission cycle. Commission payouts 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 Member Agreement shall be involuntarily canceled. If a former spouse has completely relinquished all rights in the original TELOYOUTH business pursuant to a divorce, he or she is thereafter free to enroll under any sponsor of his or her choosing without waiting six (6) calendar months. In the case of business entity dissolutions, the former partner, shareholder, member, or other entity affiliate who retains no interest in the business must wait six (6) calendar months from the date of the final dissolution before reenrolling as a Member. During this six (6) month waiting period, such individuals must remain inactive. In either case however, the former spouse or business affiliate shall have no rights to any Members 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 Member.

3.20. SPONSORING

All active Members in good standing have the right to sponsor and enroll others into TELOYOUTH. Each prospective Member has the ultimate right to choose his or her own sponsor. If two Independent Members claim to be the sponsor of the same new Member, the Company shall regard the first application received by the Company as controlling the account of the new Member.

3.21. SUCCESSION (DEATH OR INCAPACITY OF A MEMBER)

A Member may provide in his or her will that his or her independent TELOYOUTH business will pass to his or her spouse or heirs. The Company will honor such requests provided it receives certified copies of the death certificate and appropriate legal documentation establishing the right of the deceased Member’s heirs to the business. Successors interest must submit an amended TELOYOUTH Member Agreement to the Company, otherwise Member Agreement will be terminated. If the legal successor to the distributorship is already an existing Member, the Contract will be assigned to the existing Member and the Company will allow the multiple beneficial interest through inheritance. If a Member is incapable of operating his or her independent TELOYOUTH business due to incapacity, the agent, guardian, or trustee of the incapacitated Member may operate the incapacitated Member’s business on behalf of the incapacitated Member upon the submission of appropriate legal documents to the Company. The authorized agent, guardian or trustee, must submit documents to the Company establishing his or her authority to act on behalf of the incapacitated Member and proof of such Member’s incapacity.

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERS

4.1. CHANGE OF ADDRESS, TELEPHONE, AND EMAIL ADDRESSES

Boxes are required for shipping. Members planning to move or change their email address must submit their new address and telephone number(s) by emailing Customer Support at support@teloyouth. To guarantee proper delivery, two weeks’ advance notice must be provided to TELOYOUTH on all changes. The Member can change all contact information by logging into their back office and making the necessary changes to both their contact information and their Subscription Order (SO) mailing address.

Any Member who sponsors a Member into TELOYOUTH must perform a bona fide assistance and training function to ensure that his or her personally sponsored Member is properly operating his or her TELOYOUTH business.

Examples of such contact and communication may include, but are not limited to newsletters, written correspondence, personal meetings, telephone contact, voice mail, electronic mail, and the accompaniment of Members to TELOYOUTH meetings, training sessions, and other functions. Sponsoring Members are also responsible to motivate and train new Members in TELOYOUTH product knowledge, effective sales techniques, the TELOYOUTH Business Plan, and compliance with Company Policies and Procedures. Communication with and the training of their Members is strongly recommended. Members should monitor the Members in their frontline Organizations to guard against other Members making improper product or business claims, or engaging in any illegal or inappropriate conduct or creating noncompliant sales aids or promotional materials.

4.2.1. Increased Training Responsibilities: As Members progress through the various levels of leadership, they will become more experienced in sales techniques, product knowledge, and understanding of the TELOYOUTH program. They will be called upon and expected to share this knowledge with lesser experienced Members within their organization.

4.2.2. Ongoing Sales Responsibilities: Regardless of their level of achievement, Members have an ongoing obligation to continue to personally promote sales through the generation of new Members and through servicing their existing Members.

4.3. NON-DISPARAGEMENT AND PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR

TELOYOUTH wants to provide its Members with the best products, Business Plan, and service in the industry. Accordingly, TELOYOUTH values constructive criticisms and comments. All such comments should be submitted in writing to the Customer Support Department. While TELOYOUTH welcomes constructive input, negative comments and remarks made in the field by Members about the Company, its products, or Business Plan serve no purpose other than to sour the enthusiasm of other TELOYOUTH Members. For this reason, and to set the proper example for their organizations, Members must not disparage, demean, or make negative remarks to or about TELOYOUTH, other TELOYOUTH Members, TELOYOUTH’s products, the Business Plan, or TELOYOUTH’s directors, officers or employees.

4.4. PROVIDING DOCUMENTATION TO APPLICANTS

9.2. SALES TAXES

In designing the TELOYOUTH opportunity, one of our guiding philosophies has been to free Members from as many administrative, operational, and logistical tasks as possible. In doing so, Members are free to concentrate on those activities that directly affect their incomes, namely product sales and enrollment activities. To these ends, TELOYOUTH relieves Members 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, TELOYOUTH is required to charge sales taxes on all purchases made by Members and remit the taxes charged to the respective states. Accordingly, TELOYOUTH will collect and remit sales taxes on behalf of Members according to applicable tax rates in the state, province, and/or region to which the shipment is destined.

10.1. EFFECT OF CANCELATION

So long as a Member remains active and complies with the terms of the Member Agreement and these Policies and Procedures, TELOYOUTH shall pay commissions to such Member in accordance with the Business Plan. A Member’s bonuses and commissions constitute the entire consideration for the Member’s efforts in generating sales and all activities related to generating sales (including building an organization). Following a Member’s non- renewal of his or her Member Agreement, cancelation for inactivity, or voluntary or involuntary cancelation of his or her Member Agreement (all of these methods are collectively referred to as “cancelation”), the former Member shall have no right, title, claim or interest to the marketing organization which he or she operated, or any commission or bonus from the sales generated by the organization. A Member whose business is canceled will lose all rights as a Member. This includes the right to sell TELOYOUTH products and the right to receive future commissions, bonuses, or other income resulting from the sales and other activities of the Member’s former sales organization. In the event of cancelation, Members agree to waive all rights they may have, including but not limited to property rights, to their former sales organization and to any bonuses, commissions or other remuneration derived from the sales and other activities of his or her former sales organization. Following a Member’s cancelation of his or her Member Agreement, the former Member shall not hold himself or herself out as a TELOYOUTH Member and shall not have the right to sell TELOYOUTH products or services.

10.6. CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS

If a Member contacts his or her credit card company and attempts to charge back any product purchase from the Company, such action shall be deemed a voluntary cancelation of the Member Agreement by the Member. If the Member also has a Subscription Order (SO) agreement with TELOYOUTH, the chargeback shall also be deemed the voluntary cancelation of the Member’s SO agreement. 

10.7. INVENTORY REPURCHASE UPON CANCELATION

Upon cancelation of a Member’s Agreement, the Member may return products for a 90% refund. In order to receive a refund from TELOYOUTH pursuant to this policy, the following requirements must be met: a.
