Approved Tools will be posted in the Stylists’ Back-Offices and will be made available to all Stylists free of charge. The Stylist who submitted the Sales Tool to the Company waives all claims to remuneration for such use and grants Style Life an irrevocable license to use the Sales Tools, and to allow Style Life to provide the Tools to other Stylists free of charge, as the Company deems appropriate.

 

17. Trademarks and Copyrights. The name “Style Life” and other names as may be adopted by the Company are proprietary trade names, trademarks and service marks of Style Life.

Style Life commonly puts on live and recorded events as well as webinars and telephone conference calls. During these events Company executives, Stylists, and guests appear and speak. The content of such events is copyrighted material that is owned exclusively by the Company. Stylists may not record company functions for any reason, whether such event is live, a webinar, via conference call, or delivered through any other medium.

 

In addition, Company produced Sales Tools, videos, audios, podcasts, and printed material is also copyrighted. Stylists shall not copy any such materials for their personal or business use without the Company’s prior written approval.

 

18. Sales Outlets. To support the Company’s direct selling distribution channel and to protect the independent contractor relationship, Stylists agree that they will not sell Style Life products in any permanent location, including but not limited to a wholesale, warehouse, or discount establishment, or any online auction or buy-sell site (including but not limited to eBay) without prior written approval from Style Life.

• Voluntarily canceling his/her Style Life business in writing and remaining inactive for six (6) full calendar months. Following the six calendar month period of inactivity, the former Stylist may reapply under a new sponsor. The Stylist will lose all rights to his/her former downline organization upon his/her cancellation; or

 

• Submitting a written request to the Company at [email protected] for a change of sponsor. The Stylist requesting the transfer must also submit written and signed transfer authorization forms from his/her immediate six upline Stylists.

 

20. Waiver of Claims. In cases wherein a Stylist improperly changes his/her sponsor, Style Life reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine the final disposition of the downline organization that was developed by the Stylist in his/her second line of sponsorship. STYLISTSTYLISTS WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST STYLE LIFE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS THAT RELATE TO OR ARISE FROM STYLE LIFE’S DECISION REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF ANY DOWNLINE ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS BELOW A STYLIST WHO HAS IMPROPERLY CHANGED HIS/HER SPONSOR.

 

21. Product Claims. Stylists must not make claims, including but not limited to testimonials, about Style Life’s products or services that are not contained in official Style Life literature or posted on Style Life’s official website.

 

22. Income Claims. When presenting or discussing the Style Life opportunity or Compensation Plan to a prospective Stylist, Stylists may not make income projections, income claims, income testimonials, or disclose their Style Life income (including, but not limited to, the showing of checks, copies of checks, bank statements, or tax records), or the income of any other Style Life Stylist. Nor may Stylists make “lifestyle” income claims. A “lifestyle” income claim is a statement or depiction that infers or states that the Stylist is able to enjoy a luxurious or successful lifestyle due to the income they earn from their Style Life business. Examples of prohibited lifestyle claims include, but are not limited to, representations (either through audio or visual medium) that a Stylist was able to quit his/her job, acquire expensive or luxury material possessions, or travel to exotic or expensive destinations.

 

23. Compensation Plan and Program Claims. When presenting or discussing the Style Life compensation plan, you must make it clear to prospects that financial success in Style Life requires commitment, effort, and sales skill. Conversely, you must never represent that one can be successful without diligently applying themselves. Examples of misrepresentations 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 downline 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 a Stylist without commitment, effort, and sales skill.

 

24. Media Inquiries. Stylists must not interact with the media regarding the Style Life business or products. All inquiries from the media, including radio, television, print, online, or any other medium, shall be directed to Style Life’s marketing department.

However, during the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, with the exception of a Stylist’s personally sponsored downline Stylists, a Stylist or former Stylist may not directly or indirectly Recruit other Style Life Stylists or customers for any other Network Marketing Business. The term “Recruit” means the direct or indirect, actual or attempted, sponsorship, solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort to influence in any other way, another Style Life Stylist to enroll or participate in another Network Marketing Business. This conduct constitutes Recruiting even if the Stylist or former Stylist’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Stylist or customer. An action that is reasonably foreseeable to result in causing a Stylist to contact another Stylist or former Stylist (“Individual X”) about Individual X’s business activities or products he/she is selling is “Recruiting” and is a violation of this Policy.

 

The term “Network Marketing Business” means any business that utilizes independent contractors to sell its goods or services, and such independent contractors are entitled to recruit, sponsor or enroll other independent contractors and independent contractors are compensated in whole or in part on the purchases or sales of other independent contractors.

 

If a Stylist is engaged in another business, it is the responsibility of the Stylist to ensure that his or her Style Life business is operated entirely separate and apart from all other businesses and/or Network Marketing programs. To this end, the Stylist must not:

 

• Display Style Life promotional material, sales aids, or products with or in the same location as, any non-Style Life promotional material or sales aids, products or services (Pinterest and similar social media sites are exempt from this provision).

 

• Offer the Style Life opportunity, products or services to prospective or existing customers or Stylists in conjunction with any non-Style Life program, opportunity or products.

 

• Offer, discuss, or display any non-Style Life opportunity, products, services or opportunity at any Style Life-related trunk-show, meeting, seminar, convention, webinar, teleconference, or other function.

 

26. Negative comments in the field serve only to sour the enthusiasm of other Stylists. Therefore, Stylists shall not disparage, libel, slander, or make negative or critical comments to any other Stylist or third party regarding the Style Life, its management, products or compensation plan. All criticism must be directed exclusively to the Company at customerservice@ourstyle life.com.

 

27. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, StyleLife’s Trade Secrets, the identities, contact information, and/or sales information relating to Style Life’s Stylists and/or customers: (a) that is contained in or derived from any Stylists’ respective Stylist Back-Office; (b) that is derived from any reports issued by Style Life to Stylists to assist them in operating and managing their Style Life business; and/or (c) to which a Stylist would not have access or would not have acquired but for his/her affiliation with Style Life. Confidential Information constitutes proprietary business trade secrets belonging exclusively to Style Life and is provided to Stylists in strict confidence. Confidential Information shall not be directly or indirectly disclosed to any third party nor used for any purpose other than Stylist’s use in building and managing his/her Independent Style Life business.

 

28. Handling Personal Information. If you receive Personal Information from or about prospective Stylists or customers, it is your responsibility to maintain its security. You should shred or irreversibly delete the Personal Information of others once you no longer need it. Personal Information is information that identifies, or permits you to contact, an individual. It includes a customer’s, potential customers, Stylists and prospective Stylists’ name, address, email address, phone number, credit card information, social security or tax identification number and other information associated with these details.

 

29. Product Inventory & Bonus Buying. Stylists may not carry an inventory of Style Life products for resale. All products are direct shipped from the Company to the customer. In addition, bonus buying is strictly prohibited. Bonus buying is the purchase of merchandise for any reason other than bona fide resale or use, or any mechanism or artifice to qualify for rank advancement or maintenance, incentives, prizes, commissions or bonuses that are not driven by bona fide product purchases by end user consumers for actual use.  

 

30. Limitations on Stylist and Household Businesses. Stylists may own, operate, control, or have an interest in, only one Style Life business, and there may be only one Style Life business in a household.

31. Business Entities. A “Business Entity” is any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity that owns or operates a Style Life independent business. The term “Affiliated Party” means any individual, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that has an ownership interest in, or formal or informal management responsibility for, a Style Life business or a Business Entity that operates a Style Life business. If any Business Owner or Affiliated Party violates the Agreement, the violation may be imputed, and corresponding disciplinary action may be taken, against some, all or each of the following: the Business Entity, the owners of the Business Entity, any Affiliated Party and/or its owners.

 

32. Actions of Third-Parties. If a third party acting on behalf of, or with the active or passive assistance of a Stylist engages in conduct that would be a violation of the Agreement if performed by a Stylist, the conduct of the third-party may be imputed to the Stylist.

 

33. Tampering With Product Packaging. Style Life products must be sold in their original packaging. Stylists shall not alter the original packaging or labeling.

 

34. Sales Receipts. A receipt will automatically be sent by the Company via email to a customer at the time the order is placed.

 

35. Adjustment to Bonuses and Commissions. Compensation stemming from product sales is fully earned when the applicable return, repurchase, and chargeback periods applicable to product sales have all expired. If a product is returned to Style Life for a refund or is repurchased by the Company, or a chargeback occurs, the compensation attributable to the returned or repurchased product(s) will be recovered by the Company. 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 Stylists who received bonuses and commissions on the sales of the refunded products. Likewise if it is the responsibility of a Stylist to issue a refund to a customer, but Style Life issues the refund, the Company may deduct the amount refunded to the customer from the Stylist’s subsequent bonuses and commissions.

 

Style Life reserves the right to withhold or reduce any Stylist’s compensation as it deems necessary to comply with any garnishment or court order directing Style Life to retain, hold, or redirect such compensation to a third party.

 

36. Return of Merchandise and Sales Aids by Stylists Upon Cancellation or Termination. Within 30 days from the cancellation or termination of a Stylist’s Agreement, the Stylist may return products and Sales Tools that he or she personally purchased from Style Life within 12 months prior to the date of cancellation (the one-year limitation shall not apply to residents of Louisiana, Massachusetts and Wyoming and Puerto Rico) so long as the goods are in currently marketable condition and are returned to the Company within 30 days from the date of the Stylist’s cancellation or termination. Upon the Company’s timely receipt of returned goods and confirmation that they are in currently marketable condition, the Stylist will be reimbursed 90% of the net cost of the original purchase price(s). Shipping and handling charges will not be refunded. If the purchases were made through a credit card, the refund will be credited back to the same account. Goods are in “currently marketable condition” if they are unopened and unused and packaging and labeling has not been altered or damaged. Merchandise that is clearly identified at the time of sale as nonreturnable, closeout, discontinued, or as a seasonal item, or which has passed it commercially reasonable usable or shelf-life, is not in currently marketable condition. Back Office and Replicated website fees are not refundable except as may be required under applicable state law.

41. Disciplinary Sanctions. The Company may craft any disciplinary measure reasonably appropriate to address or rectify an act or omission by a Stylist that is in violation of this Agreement. In situations deemed appropriate by Style Life, the Company may institute legal proceedings for monetary and/or equitable relief.

 

42.  Equitable Relief. You agree and stipulate that any violation of Policy 25 and/or 27 will cause Style Life irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law, and that the harm to the Style Life if no equitable relief is awarded will outweigh any potential harm to you if equitable relief is awarded to the Company. Therefore, the Style Life shall be entitled to immediate and permanent equitable relief, without bond, to prevent further violation of either policy in addition to recovering actual damages it incurs.

 

43. Compliance Disclosure to Upline. If disciplinary action is taken against a Stylist for violation of the Agreement, the Company may disclose the details of the matter and its resolution to the disciplined Stylist’s upline.  

 

44. Stylists agree to indemnify Style Life for any and all costs, expenses, consumer reimbursements, fines, sanctions, damages, settlements or payments of any other nature that Style Life incurs resulting from or relating to any act or omission by Stylist that is illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, negligent, unethical, or in violation of the Agreement. Style Life may elect to exercise its indemnification rights through withholding any compensation due the Stylist. This right of setoff shall not constitute Style Life’s exclusive means of recovering or collecting funds due Style Life pursuant to its right to indemnification.

 

45. Effect of Cancellation. A Stylist whose business is cancelled for any reason will lose all Stylist rights, benefits and privileges. This includes the right to represent yourself as an Independent Style Life Stylist, to sell Style Life 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 Stylist and the Stylist’s former downline sales organization. There is no whole or partial refund for tangible sales kits that are not currently marketable, Stylist Back-Office, replicated website or renewal fees if a Stylist’s business is cancelled.

 

46. Voluntary Cancellation. A participant in this network-marketing plan has a right to cancel at any time, regardless of reason. Cancellation shall be effective by: (a) submitting written cancellation to the Company at its principal business address or by cancelling his/her business through the Stylist Back-Office; (b) the Company may (but is not required to) rely on any public announcement of resignation or cancellation by the Stylist (including but not limited to any announcement on social media) as an effective cancellation; (c) failure to pay Back-Office and Replicated Website fees; (d) Revoking your authorization to contract electronically; or (e) any other means authorized by Style Life. If a Stylist is also on the autoship program, the Stylist’s autoship order shall be cancelled unless the Stylist specifically requests that his or her autoship order remain in effect. it .

 

47. Involuntary Cancellation (Termination). Any of the following conduct may result in the involuntary cancellation of a Stylist’s Style Life business:

 

• A material violation of the Agreement;
• Illegal, fraudulent, deceptive or unethical business conduct in a Stylist’s professional or personal capacity that a reasonable person would believe is more likely than not to damage the Company’s reputation or goodwill.;
• Any act or omission in a Stylist’s professional or personal capacity that a reasonable person would believe is more likely than not to damage the Company’s reputation or goodwill.

 

48. Business Transfe Stylists in good standing who wish to sell or transfer their business must receive Style Life’s prior written approval before the business may be transferred. A business that is on disciplinary probation, suspension, or under disciplinary investigation is not in good standing and may not be transferred unless and until the disciplinary matter is resolved. Requests to transfer a business must be submitted in writing to [email protected]. The request to transfer will be denied if the business is not in good standing or if there is another reasonable reason for denying the request. Prior to transferring a business to a third party, the Stylist must offer the Company 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.

 

49. Transfer Upon a Stylist’s Death. A Stylist may devise his/her business to his/her heirs. Because Style Life cannot divide commissions among multiple beneficiaries or transferees, the beneficiaries or transferees must form a business entity (corporation, LLC, partnership, etc.), and Style Life 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 Style Life with certified letters testamentary and written instructions of the trustee of the estate, or an order of the court, that provides direction on the proper disposition of the business. The beneficiary must also execute and submit to the Company a Style Life Stylist 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.

 

50. Business Distribution Upon Divorce. Style Life 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. Style Life 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 Style Life business must also execute and submit a Style Life Stylist Agreement within 30 days from the date on which the divorce becomes final or the business will be cancelled.

 

51. Dissolution of a Business Entity. Style Life 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 Style Life 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 Style Life 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 Style Life business, it must do so pursuant to policy 50. In addition, the recipient of the Style Life business must also execute and submit a Style Life Stylist Agreement to the Company within 30 days from the date of the dissolution of the business entity or the Style Life business will be cancelled.

 

52. Inducing Stylists to Violate the Agreement. Stylists shall not directly or indirectly induce, encourage, or assist another Stylist to violate the Agreement.
