AFFILIATES’ RESPONSIBILITIES AND WARRANTIES:

1. TRAINING AND LEADERSHIP:

   1. Any BE Affiliate who signup another Affiliate into BE must perform an authentic assistance and training function to ensure their organization is properly operating BE business. Signup Affiliates should have ongoing contact and communication with the Affiliates in their organizations. Examples of communication may include, but are not limited to, newsletters, written correspondence, telephone, contact, team calls, voice-mail, e-mail, personal meetings, accompaniment of organization Affiliates to BE meetings, training sessions and any other related functions.
   2. A signup BE Affiliate should monitor the Affiliates in their organizations to ensure that organization Affiliates do not make improper product or business claims, or engage in any illegal or inappropriate conduct. Upon request, such Affiliates should be able to provide documented evidence to BE of their ongoing fulfilment of the responsibilities of a Signup Affiliate, else shall be liable for the actions of their organization and shall indemnify BE.
   3. Upline Affiliates are encouraged to motivate and train new Affiliates about BE’s products and services, effective sales techniques, the BE Compensation Plan and compliance with company Policies and Procedures.
   4. Marketing product is a required activity in BE and must be emphasized in all signup presentations. In fact, the Company emphasizes and encourages all its Affiliates to only market and promote the BE’s products and services to Customers. No commission shall ever be paid for the mere signup of a new Affiliate.
   5. USE OF SALES AIDS: To promote both the products and the opportunity BE offers, Affiliates must use the sales aids and support materials produced by BE. If BE Affiliates develop their own sales aids and promotional materials, which includes Internet advertising, notwithstanding Affiliate's good intentions, they may unintentionally violate any number of statutes or regulations affecting the BE business. These violations, although they may be relatively few in number, could jeopardize the BE opportunity for all Affiliates. Accordingly, Affiliates must submit all written sales aids, promotional materials, advertisements, websites and other literature to the Company for Company’s approval prior to use. Unless the Affiliate receives specific written approval to use the material, the request shall be deemed denied. All Affiliates shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of BE and its products. The marketing and promotion of BE, the BE opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and BE products and services shall be consistent with the public interest and must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices.
   6. Notwithstanding anything provided in these Policies and Procedures, no Affiliate (irrespective of their rank) can use their own slides or presentations. An Affiliate can only use official BE slides or presentations unless a written exception is provided by the BE’s Compliance Team.

2. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM; ETHICS:

   1. BE desires to provide its independent Affiliates with the best products and services and Compensation Plan in the industry. Accordingly, BE values constructive criticism and encourages the submission of written comments addressed to BE Compliance Team.

   2. Negative and disparaging comments about BE, its products or Compensation Plan, by Affiliates, made to BE, in the Field or at BE meetings or events, or disruptive behavior at BE meetings or events, serve no purpose other than to dampen the enthusiasm of other BE Affiliates. BE Affiliates must not belittle BE, other BE Affiliates, BE products or services, the Compensation Plan, or BE directors, officers, or employees, product suppliers or agents. Such conduct represents a material breach of these Policies and Procedures and may be subject to sanctions as deemed appropriate by BE.

   3. BE is committed to providing Affiliates with a sales environment free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse from other Affiliates, employees, vendors, and any other individuals in the workplace. At BE, harassment of any kind will not be tolerated and is strictly prohibited, such as: derogatory or threatening comments, inappropriate sexual behaviour including but not limited to unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favours, displaying visual images of a sexual nature, physical or verbal harassment, or violent conduct. BE Affiliates are encouraged to report any type of harassment incidents immediately. BE will not tolerate acts or threats of violence and will investigate all reports. BE can take action if the concerned reporting Affiliate provides us with the necessary information, evidences and a written complaint made to the Compliance Team of BE through a formal channel like emails.

   4. BE ENDORSES THE FOLLOWING CODE OF ETHICS:

      1. A BE Affiliate must show fairness, tolerance, and respect to all people associated with BE, regardless of race, gender, social class or religion, thereby fostering a “positive atmosphere” of teamwork, good morale and community spirit.
      2. An Affiliate shall strive to resolve business issues, including situations with upline and organization Affiliates, by emphasizing tact, sensitivity, good will and taking care not to create additional problems
      3. BE Affiliates must be honest, responsible, professional and conduct themselves with integrity.
      4. BE Affiliates shall not make disparaging statements about BE, other Affiliates, BE employees, product suppliers or agents, products, services, sales and marketing campaigns, or the Compensation Plan, or make statements that unreasonably offend, mislead or coerce others.
      5. BE Affiliates shall always present accurate information like proper disclaimers/disclosures and access to the Earning Disclosure Statement when encouraging prospects to join the BE business. Moreover, as an Affiliate, you agree to never intimidate nor engage in unlawful signup practices, including any suggestion that excessive inventory purchases are necessary to participate in BE.

      v. BE may take appropriate action against an Affiliate if it determines, in its sole discretion, that an Affiliate’s conduct is detrimental, disruptive, or injurious to BE or to other Affiliates.

A BE Affiliate shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations in their conduct of BE business.

8. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE INCOME TAX LAWS:

9. ONE BE BUSINESS PER AFFILIATE: An Affiliate may operate or have an ownership interest, legal or equitable, only in one BE business.

Any violation of this provision shall lead to termination of all accounts of the concerned Affiliate and the commission shall be frozen for at least 6 months. The Company also has a right to enforce a penalty of up to 30% of the pending commission on each account of the Affiliate individually.

10. ACTIONS OF HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS OR AFFILIATED PARTIES: If any member of an Affiliate’s immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed by the Affiliate, would violate any provision of the Agreement, such activity will be deemed a violation by the Affiliate and BE may take disciplinary action pursuant to these Policies and Procedures against the Affiliate.
