1.2 CLAR8TY Policies and Compensation Plan Incorporated into the

IBO agreement

A. Throughout these Policies, when the term “Agreement” is used, it collectively refers to the CLAR8TY agreement, these Policies and Procedures, and the CLAR8TY Compensation Plan.

B. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring IBO to provide the most current version of these Policies and Procedures (available on the CLAR8TY Web site) and the CLAR8TY Compensation Plan to each applicant prior to his or her execution of an IBO agreement.

1.3 Purpose of Policies

A. CLAR8TY is a direct sales company that markets products and services through Independent Business Owners, referred to as IBOs. To clearly define the relationship that exists between IBOs and CLAR8TY, and to explicitly set a standard for acceptable business conduct, CLAR8TY has established these Policies and Procedures.

B. CLAR8TY IBOs are required to comply with (i) all of the Terms and Conditions set forth in the IBO Agreement, which CLAR8TY may amend in its sole discretion; (ii) all Federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local laws governing his or her CLAR8TY business; and (iii) these Policies and Procedures.

C. CLAR8TY IBOs must review the information in these Policies and Procedures carefully. Should an IBO have any questions regarding a policy or rule, the IBO is encouraged to seek an answer from his or her sponsor, or any other upline IBO. If further clarification is needed, the IBO may contact CLAR8TY Customer Service.

1.4 Changes, Amendments, and Modifications

A. Because federal, state, and local laws, as well as the business environment, periodically change, CLAR8TY reserves the right to amend the Agreement and the prices in its CLAR8TY Product Price List in its sole and absolute discretion. Notification of amendments shall appear in Official CLAR8TY Materials.

B. Any such amendment, change, or modification shall be effective immediately upon notice by one of the following methods:

I. posting on the official CLAR8TY Web site;

II. electronic mail (e-mail); or

III. In writing through the CLAR8TY newsletters, or other CLAR8TY communication channels.

1.5 Delays

CLAR8TY shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance of its obligations when such failure is due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This includes, without limitation, strikes, labor difficulties, transportation difficulties, riot, war, fire, and weather, curtailment of a source of supply, or government decrees or orders.

1.6 Effective Date

These Policies and Procedures shall become effective as of January 1st 2014 and, at such time, shall automatically supersede any prior Policies and Procedures (the “old Policies and Procedures”), and, on that date, the old Policies and Procedures shall cease to have any force or effect.

2.0 BASIC PRINCIPLES

2.1 Becoming A CLAR8TY IBO

A. To become an IBO, an applicant must comply with the following requirements:

I. Be of the age of majority (not a minor) in his or her state of residence;

II. Reside or have a valid address in the United States, or a U.S. territory;

III. Have a valid Social Security Number, Federal Tax ID Number, or Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN);

IV. Submit a properly completed and signed IBO Agreement to CLAR8TY;

V. Not be a CLAR8TY employee, the Spouse of a CLAR8TY employee or related to an employee of CLAR8TY or living in the same household as such CLAR8TY employee.

2.2 New IBO Registration

A. A potential new IBO may self-enroll on the sponsor’s replicated web site. In such event, instead of a physically signed IBO agreement, CLAR8TY will accept the web enrollment and IBO agreement by accepting the “electronic signature” stating the new IBO has accepted the terms and conditions of such IBO agreement. Please note that such electronic signature constitutes a legally binding agreement between the IBO and CLAR8TY.

B. CLAR8TY reserves the right to require signed paperwork for any account, regardless of origin.

C. If requested, the signed IBO Agreement must be received by CLAR8TY within14 days of enrollment.

D. Signed documents, including but not limited to IBO agreements, are legally binding contracts which must not be altered, tampered with or changed in any manner after they have been signed. False or misleading information, forged signatures or alterations to any document, including business registration forms, made after a document has been signed may lead to sanctions, up to and including involuntary termination of the IBO’s position.

2.3 Rights Granted

A. CLAR8TY hereby grants to the IBO a non-exclusive right, based upon the terms and conditions contained in the IBO agreement and these Policies and Procedures, to:

I. Purchase CLAR8TY products and services;

II. Promote and sell CLAR8TY products and services; and

III. Sponsor new IBOs and Customers in the United States and in countries where CLAR8TY may become established after the effective date of these Policies and Procedures.

2.4 Identification Numbers

A. Each IBO is required to provide his or her Social Security Number, or Federal Tax Identification Number, if located in the United States or any of its territories, to CLAR8TY on the IBO agreement. CLAR8TY reserves the right to withhold commission payments from any IBO who fails to provide such information or who provides false information.

B. Upon enrollment, CLAR8TY will provide a CLAR8TY Identification Number, and/or Username to the IBO. This number will be used to place orders, structure organizations, and track commissions and bonuses.

2.5 Renewals and Expiration of the IBO Agreement

A.  The annual IBO renewal fee is $45.00. The renewal date for his or her IBO agreement is 12-months from the date of enrollment.

B.  If the IBO allows his or her IBO agreement to expire due to nonpayment, the IBO will lose any and all rights to his or her downline organization unless the IBO re-activates within 60 days following the expiration of the agreement.

C. If the former IBO re-activates within the 60-day time limit, the IBO will resume the rank and position held immediately prior to the expiration of the IBO agreement. However, such IBO’s paid as level will not be restored unless he or she qualifies at that payout level in the new month. The IBO is not eligible to receive commissions for the time period that the IBO’s position was expired.

D. The IBO who was terminated or whose agreement has expired and lapsed the 60-day grace period is not eligible to re-apply for a CLAR8TY business for 12 months following the expiration of the IBO agreement.

E. The downline of the expired IBO will roll up to the immediate, ACTIVE upline sponsor.

2.6 Business Entities

A. A corporation, partnership, LLC, or trust (collectively referred to as a “Business Entity”) may apply to be a CLAR8TY IBO. This IBO’s business and position will remain temporary until the proper documents are submitted. The entity must submit one of the following documents: Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Organization, Partnership Agreement or appropriate trust documents. CLAR8TY must receive these documents within 14 days from the date the IBO agreement was signed.

B. A CLAR8TY IBO may change its status under the same sponsor from an individual to a partnership, LLC, corporation, trust or from one type of business entity to another.

2.7 Independent Business Relationship; Indemnification for Actions

A. The CLAR8TY IBO is an independent contractor, and not a purchaser of a franchise or business opportunity. Therefore, each IBO’s success depends on his or her independent efforts.

B. The agreement between CLAR8TY and its IBOs does not create an employer/employee relationship, agency, partnership, or joint venture between CLAR8TY and the IBO.

C. A CLAR8TY IBO shall not be treated as an employee of CLAR8TY for any purposes, including, without limitation, for Federal, state, or provincial tax purposes. All IBOs are responsible for paying local, state, provincial, and Federal taxes due from all compensation earned as an IBO of CLAR8TY. Any other compensation received by IBOs from CLAR8TY will be governed by applicable U.S. tax laws (or the tax laws of any other applicable jurisdiction). The IBO has no express or implied authority to bind CLAR8TY to any obligation or to make any commitments by or on behalf of CLAR8TY. Each IBO shall establish his or her own goals, hours, and methods of operation and sale, so long as he or she complies with the terms of the IBO agreement, these Policies and Procedures and applicable State, Federal and Provincial laws.

D. The CLAR8TY IBO is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal and written communications made regarding CLAR8TY products, services, and the compensation plan that are not expressly contained within official CLAR8TY materials. IBOs shall indemnify and hold harmless CLAR8TY, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from any and against all liability including judgments, civil penalties, refunds, attorney fees and court costs incurred by CLAR8TY as a result of the IBO’s unauthorized representations or actions. This Provision shall survive the termination of the CLAR8TY IBO agreement.

2.8 Insurance

A. Business Pursuits Coverage. CLAR8TY encourages IBOs to arrange insurance coverage for their business. A homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover business related injuries, or the theft of, or damage to inventory or business equipment. CLAR8TY IBOs need to contact their insurance agent to make certain their business property is protected. In most instances, this may be accomplished with a “Business Pursuit” endorsement to an existing homeowner’s policy.

2.9 Errors or Questions

A. If an IBO has questions about, or believes any errors have been made regarding commissions, bonuses, business reports, orders, or charges, the IBO must notify CLAR8TY in writing within 30 days of the date of the error or incident in question. Any such errors, omissions or problems not reported within 30 days shall be deemed waived by the IBO.

3.0 CLAR8TY’s IBO Responsibilities

3.1 Correct Addresses

A. It is the responsibility of the IBO or Customer to make sure CLAR8TY has the correct shipping address before any orders are shipped.

B. An IBO or Customer will need to allow up to 30 days for processing after the notice of address change has been received by CLAR8TY.

C. An IBO or Customer may be assessed a $20 fee for returned shipments due to an incorrect shipping address.

3.2 Training and Leadership

A. Any CLAR8TY IBO who sponsors another IBO into CLAR8TY must perform an authentic assistance and training function to ensure his or her downline is properly operating his or her CLAR8TY business. Sponsoring IBOs should have ongoing contact and communication with the IBOs in their downline 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 downline IBOs to CLAR8TY meetings and training sessions and any other related functions.

B. A Sponsoring CLAR8TY IBO should monitor the IBOs in his or her downline organizations to ensure that downline IBOs do not make improper product or business claims, or engage in any illegal or inappropriate conduct. Upon request, such IBO should be able to provide documented evidence to CLAR8TY of his or her ongoing fulfillment of the responsibilities of a sponsor.

C. Upline IBOs are encouraged to motivate and train new IBOs about CLAR8TY’s products and services, effective sales techniques, the CLAR8TY compensation plan and compliance with company policies and procedures.

D. Marketing product is a required activity in CLAR8TY and must be emphasized in all recruiting presentations.

F. We emphasize and encourage all IBOs to sell CLAR8TY’s products and services to Customers and VIP Customers.

G. Use of Sales Aids. To promote both the products and the opportunity CLAR8TY offers, IBOs must use the sales aids and support materials produced by CLAR8TY. If CLAR8TY IBOs develop their own sales aids and promotional materials, which may include, but is not limited to, Internet advertising, notwithstanding IBOs’ good intentions, they may unintentionally violate any number of statutes or regulations affecting a CLAR8TY business. These violations, although they may be relatively few in number, could jeopardize the CLAR8TY opportunity for all IBOs. Accordingly, IBOs 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 IBO receives specific written approval to use the material, the request shall be deemed denied. All IBOs shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of CLAR8TY and its products. The marketing and promotion of CLAR8TY, the CLAR8TY opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and CLAR8TY products and services shall be consistent with the public interest, and must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices.

3.3 Constructive Criticism; Ethics

A. CLAR8TY desires to provide its independent IBOs with the best products and services and Compensation Plan in the industry. Accordingly, CLAR8TY values constructive criticism and encourages the submission of written comments addressed to the CLAR8TY compliance department.

B. Negative and disparaging comments about CLAR8TY, its products or Compensation Plan, by IBOs made to CLAR8TY, in the Field or at CLAR8TY meetings or events, or disruptive behavior at CLAR8TY meetings or events, serve no purpose other than to dampen the enthusiasm of other CLAR8TY IBOs. CLAR8TY IBOs must not belittle CLAR8TY, other CLAR8TY IBOs, CLAR8TY products or services, the Compensation Plan, or CLAR8TY directors, officers, or employees. Such conduct represents a material breach of these Policies and Procedures and may be subject to sanctions as deemed appropriate by CLAR8TY.

C. CLAR8TY endorses the following code of ethics:

I. A CLAR8TY IBO must show fairness, tolerance, and respect to all people associated with CLAR8TY, regardless of race, gender, social class or religion, thereby fostering a “positive atmosphere” of teamwork, good morale and community spirit.

II. An CLAR8TY IBO shall strive to resolve business issues, including situations with upline and downline IBOs, by emphasizing tact, sensitivity, good will and taking care not to create additional problems.

III. CLAR8TY IBOs must be honest, responsible, professional and conduct themselves with integrity.

IV. CLAR8TY IBOs shall not make disparaging statements about CLAR8TY, other IBOs, CLAR8TY employees, products, services, sales and marketing campaigns, or the Compensation Plan, or make statements that unreasonably offend, mislead or coerce others.

D. CLAR8TY may take appropriate action against an IBO if it determines, in its sole discretion, that an IBO’s conduct is detrimental, disruptive, or injurious to CLAR8TY or to other IBOs.

3.4 Reporting Policy Violation

A. An IBO who observes a policy violation by another IBO should submit a written and signed letter (e-mail or facsimile will not be accepted) of the violation directly to the CLAR8TY Corporate office. The letter shall set forth the details of the incident as follows:

I. The nature of the violation;

II. Specific facts and proof of facts to support the allegations;

III. Dates;

IV. Number of occurrences;

V. Persons involved; and

VI. Supporting documentation regarding the violation.

VII. Mail to:
CLAR8TY, INC

Attn: Compliance Department

25792 Obrero Drive

Mission Viejo, CA 92691

B. Once the matter has been presented to CLAR8TY, it will be researched thoroughly by the Compliance department and appropriate action will be taken, if required.

C. This section refers to the general reporting of policy violations as observed by other IBOs for the mutual effort to support, protect, and defend the integrity of the CLAR8TY business and opportunity. If a CLAR8TY IBO has a grievance or complaint against another IBO which directly relates to his or her CLAR8TY business, the procedures set forth in these policies must be followed.

3.5 Sponsorship

A. The sponsor is the person who introduces an IBO or Customer to CLAR8TY, helps them complete their enrollment, and supports and trains those in their downline.

B. CLAR8TY recognizes the sponsor as the name(s) shown on the first:

I. Physically signed CLAR8TY IBO agreement on file; or

II. Electronically signed IBO agreement from a web site, or a CLAR8TY IBOs web site.

C. An IBO agreement that contains notations such as “by phone,” or the signatures of other individuals (i.e. Sponsors, Spouses, relatives, or friends) is not valid and will not be accepted by CLAR8TY.

D. All ACTIVE IBOs in good standing have the right to Sponsor and enroll others into CLAR8TY. While engaged in sponsoring activities, it is not uncommon to encounter situations when more than one IBO will approach the same prospect. It is the accepted industry courtesy that the new prospect will be sponsored by the first IBO who presented a comprehensive introduction to CLAR8TY products or business opportunity, and followed up.

E. CLAR8TY recognizes that each new prospect has the right to ultimately choose his or her own sponsor, but CLAR8TY will not allow IBOs to engage in unethical sponsoring activities.

F. A Protected Prospect is a guest of any CLAR8TY IBO, or Customer who attended a CLAR8TY event or conference call. For 60 days following the event, a Protected Prospect cannot be solicited or sponsored by any other CLAR8TY IBO who attended the same event. A CLAR8TY event can be defined as the following:

I. Any CLAR8TY training session;

II. Conference call;

III. Fly-in meeting; or

IV. Presentation, including but not limited to a CLAR8TY at home presentation, whether sponsored by CLAR8TY, an IBO, a Customer, or an agent or agency designated by CLAR8TY.

3.6 Cross Sponsoring Prohibition

A. “Cross sponsoring” is defined as the enrollment into a different line of sponsorship of an individual, or business entity that already has a signed IBO Agreement. Actual or attempted cross sponsoring is not allowed. If cross sponsoring is verified by CLAR8TY, sanctions up to and including termination of an IBO’s position may be imposed.

B. The use of a spouse’s or relative’s name, trade names, assumed names, DBA names, corporation, partnership, trust, Federal ID numbers, or fictitious ID numbers to evade or circumvent this policy is not permitted.

C. This policy does not prohibit the transfer of a CLAR8TY business in accordance with CLAR8TY Sale or Transfer policy set forth in these Policies.

A. An IBO must adhere to the terms of the CLAR8TY Compensation Plan as set forth in these Policies and Procedures as well as in official CLAR8TY literature. Deviation from the Compensation Plan is prohibited.

B. An IBO shall not offer the CLAR8TY opportunity through, or in combination with, any other system, program, or method of marketing other than that specifically set forth in official CLAR8TY literature.

C. An IBO shall not require or encourage a current or prospective Customer or IBO to participate in CLAR8TY in any manner that varies from the Compensation Plan as set forth in official CLAR8TY literature.

D. An IBO shall not require or encourage a current or prospective Customer or IBO to make a purchase from, or payment to any individual, or other entity, as a condition to participating in the CLAR8TY Compensation Plan, other than such purchases or payments required to naturally build their business.

3.8 Adherence to Laws and Ordinances

A. Many cities and counties have laws regulating certain home-based businesses. In most cases, these ordinances do not apply to IBOs because of the nature of the business.

However, IBOs must check their local laws and obey the laws that do apply to them.

B. A CLAR8TY IBO shall comply with all Federal, state, and local laws and regulations in them conduct of his or her CLAR8TY business.

3.9 Compliance with Applicable Income Tax Laws

A. CLAR8TY will automatically provide a complete 1099 Miscellaneous Income Tax form (nonemployee compensation) to each US IBO whose earnings for the year is at least $600, or who has purchased more than $5,000 of CLAR8TY products for resale or who received trips, prizes or awards valued at $600 or more. If earnings and purchases are less than stated above, IRS forms will be sent only at the request of the IBO, and a minimum charge of $20 may be assessed by CLAR8TY. Canadian T-4’s will be sent to IBOs who earn more than $500 or who received trips, prizes, or awards valued at $500 or more. CLAR8TY IBOs are responsible for the payment of taxes on these trips, prizes, or awards provided to them by CLAR8TY.

B. An IBO accepts sole responsibility for and agrees to pay all Federal, state, provincial and local taxes on any income generated as an independent IBO, and further agrees to indemnify CLAR8TY from any failure to pay such tax amounts when due.

C. If an IBO’s business is tax exempt, the Federal Tax Identification number must be provided to CLAR8TY in writing.

  1. CLAR8TY encourages all IBOs to consult with a tax advisor for additional information for their business.

3.10 One CLAR8TY Business Per IBO

A. An IBO may operate or have an ownership interest, legal or equitable, as a sole proprietorship, partner, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary, in only one CLAR8TY business. No individual may have, operate or receive compensation from more than one CLAR8TY business. Individuals of the same family unit may each enter into or have an interest in their own separate CLAR8TY businesses, only if each subsequent family position is placed frontline to the first family member enrolled. A “family unit” is defined as spouses and dependent children living at or doing business at the same address.

3.11 Actions of Household Members or Affiliated Parties

If any member of an IBO’s immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed by the IBO, would violate any provision of the Agreement, such activity will be deemed a violation by the IBO and CLAR8TY may take disciplinary action pursuant to these Policies and Procedures against the IBO. Similarly, if any individual associated in any way with a corporation, partnership, LLC, trust or other entity (collectively “Business Entity”) violates the Agreement, such action(s) will be deemed a violation by the Business Entity, and CLAR8TY may take disciplinary action against the Business Entity. Likewise, if an IBO enrolls in CLAR8TY as a Business Entity, each Affiliated Party of the Business Entity shall be personally and individually bound to, and must comply with, the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

3.12 Solicitation for Other Companies or Products

A. A CLAR8TY IBO may participate in other direct sales, multilevel, network marketing or relationship marketing business ventures or marketing opportunities. However, during the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, a CLAR8TY IBO may not recruit any CLAR8TY IBO, or Customer for any other direct sales or network marketing business, unless that IBO or Customer was personally sponsored by such IBO.

B. The term “recruit” means actual or attempted solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort to influence in any other way (either directly or through a third party), another IBO or Customer to enroll or participate in any direct sales or network marketing opportunity. This conduct represents recruiting even if the IBO’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another IBO or Customer.

C. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of six months thereafter, any CLAR8TY IBO must not sell, or entice others to sell, any competing products or services, including training materials, to CLAR8TY Customers or IBOs. Any product or service in the same category as a CLAR8TY product or service is deemed to be competing (i.e., any competing product or service regardless of differences in cost or quality. This provision does not apply where professional services are the primary source of revenue and the product sales are secondary (e.g., doctor’s offices, clinics, health clubs, spas and beauty salons).

D. However, an IBO may sell non-competing products or services to CLAR8TY Customers and IBOs that they personally sponsored.

E. An IBO may not display or bundle CLAR8TY products or services, in sales literature, on a web site or in sales meetings, with any other products or services to avoid confusing or misleading a prospective Customer or IBO into believing there is a relationship between the CLAR8TY and non-CLAR8TY products and services.

F. A CLAR8TY IBO may not offer any non-CLAR8TY opportunity, products or services at any CLAR8TY related meeting, seminar or convention, or immediately following a CLAR8TY event.

G. A violation of any of the provisions in this section shall constitute unreasonable and unwarranted contractual interference between CLAR8TY and its IBOs and would inflict irreparable harm on CLAR8TY. In such event, CLAR8TY may, at its sole discretion, impose any sanction it deems necessary and appropriate against such IBO or such IBO’s positions including termination, or seek immediate injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond.

3.13 Presentation of the CLAR8TY Opportunity

A. In presenting the CLAR8TY opportunity to potential Customers and IBOs, an IBO is required to comply with the following provisions:

I. An IBO shall not misquote or omit any significant material fact about the Compensation Plan.

II. An IBO shall make it clear that the Compensation Plan is based upon sales of CLAR8TY products and services and upon the sponsoring of other IBOs.

III. An IBO shall make it clear that success can be achieved only through substantial independent efforts.

IV. A CLAR8TY IBO shall not make unauthorized income projections, claims, or guarantees while presenting or discussing the CLAR8TY opportunity or Compensation Plan to prospective IBOs or Customers.

V. An IBO may not make any claims regarding products or services of any products offered by CLAR8TY, except those contained in official CLAR8TY literature.

VI. An IBO may not use official CLAR8TY material to promote the CLAR8TY business opportunity in any country where CLAR8TY has not established a “presence.”

VII. In an effort to conduct best business practices, CLAR8TY has developed the Income Disclosure Statement (“IDS”). The CLAR8TY IDS is designed to convey truthful, timely, and comprehensive information regarding the income that CLAR8TY IBOs earn. In order to accomplish this objective, a copy of the IDS must be presented to all prospective IBOs.

A copy of the IDS must be presented to a prospective IBO anytime the Compensation Plan is presented or discussed, or any type of income claim or earnings representation is made.

The terms “income claim” and/or “earnings representation” (collectively “income claim”) include: (1) statements of average earnings, (2) statements of non-average earnings, (3) statements of earnings ranges, (4) income testimonials, (5) lifestyle claims, and (6) hypothetical claims. Examples of “statements of non-average earnings” include, “Our number one IBO earned over a million dollars last year” or “Our average ranking IBO makes five thousand per month.” An example of a “statement of earnings ranges” is “The monthly income for our higher ranking IBOs is ten thousand dollars on the low end to thirty thousand dollars a month on the high end.”

3.14 Sales Requirements are governed by the Compensation Plan

A. CLAR8TY IBOs may purchase CLAR8TY products and then re-sell them at any price they choose. CLAR8TY will provide suggested selling prices. There are no exclusive territories granted to anyone. No franchise fees are applicable to a CLAR8TY business.

B. The CLAR8TY program is built on sales to the ultimate consumer. CLAR8TY encourages its IBOs to only purchase inventory that they and their family will personally consume, will be used as a sales tool, or will be resold to others for their ultimate consumption. IBOs must never attempt to influence any other IBO to buy more products than they can reasonably use or sell to retail Customers in a month.

C. Each CLAR8TY IBO commits to personally use, sell, or use in business building at least 70% of every order placed with the Company prior to placing another order, and must be able to certify to such if demanded by the Company or by any regulatory agency. Purchasing product solely for the purpose of collecting bonuses or achieving rank is prohibitedCLAR8TY retains the right to limit the amount of purchases you may make if, in our sole judgment, we believe those purchases are being made solely for qualification purposes instead of for consumption or resale.

The IBO may recover the sales tax when he or she makes a sale. CLAR8TY IBOs are responsible for any additional sales taxes due on products marked up and sold at a higher price.

6.0 SATISFACTION GUARANTEED AND RETURNS

CLAR8TY offers a one hundred percent (100%) thirty-day money back guarantee for all Customers.

  1. A CLAR8TY IBO who currently qualifies at the rank of Diamond may apply to the Compliance Department for an exception to the third-party Web site policy in 9.4(D).

CLAR8TY reserves the right to revoke any IBO’s right to use a third-party Website at any time if CLAR8TY believes that such revocation is in the best interest of CLAR8TY, its IBOs, and Customers. Decisions and corrective actions in this area are at CLAR8TY’s sole discretion.
  1. Social Media sites may not be used to sell or offer to sell CLAR8TY products. PROFILES An IBO GENERATES IN ANY SOCIAL COMMUNITY WHERE CLAR8TY IS DISCUSSED OR MENTIONED MUST CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE IBO AS A CLAR8TY IBO, and when an IBO participates in those communities, IBOs must avoid inappropriate conversations, comments, images, video, audio, applications or any other adult, profane, discriminatory or vulgar content.

  1. As a CLAR8TY distibutor, it is important not converse with any person who places a negative post against you, other IBOs, or CLAR8TY. Report negative posts to CLAR8TY at cs@clar8ty.com. Responding to such negative posts often simply fuels a discussion with someone carrying a grudge that does not hold themselves to the same high standards as CLAR8TY, and therefore damages the reputation and goodwill of CLAR8TY.
  1. The distinction between a Social Media site and a Website may not be clear-cut, because some Social Media sites are particularly robust, CLAR8TY therefore reserves the sole and exclusive right to classify certain Social Media sites as third-party Websites and require that IBOs using, or who wish to use, such sites adhere to the CLAR8TY’s policies relating to third-party Websites.
  1. If your CLAR8TY business is cancelled for any reason, you must discontinue using the CLAR8TY name, and all of CLAR8TY’s trademarks, trade names, service marks, and other intellectual property, and all derivatives of such marks and intellectual property, in any postings and all Social Media sites that you utilize.

IV. If the call is to family members, personal friends, and acquaintances. However, if an IBO makes a habit of collecting business cards from everyone he/she meets and subsequently calls them, the FTC may consider this a form of telemarketing that is not subject to this exemption.

V. CLAR8TY IBOs engaged in calling “acquaintances,” must make such calls on an occasional basis only and not as a routine practice.

F. An IBO shall not use automatic telephone dialing systems in the operation of his or her CLAR8TY businesses.

CLAR8TY prohibits the act of “Stacking.” Stacking is the unauthorized manipulation of the CLAR8TY compensation system and/or the marketing plan in order to trigger commissions or cause a promotion off a downline IBO in an unearned manner. One example of stacking occurs when a sponsor places participants under an inactive downline without his or her knowledge in order to trigger unearned qualification for commissioning. Stacking is unethical and unacceptable behavior, and as such, it is a punishable offense with measures up to and including the termination of the independent consultant positions of all individuals found to be directly involved.
  1. Should IBOs engage in solicitation and/or enticement of members of another direct sales company to sell or distribute CLAR8TY products, they bear the risk of being sued by the other direct sales company. If any lawsuit, arbitration, or mediation is brought against an IBO alleging that they engaged in inappropriate recruiting activity of its sales force or Customers, CLAR8TY will not pay any of IBO’s defense costs or legal fees, nor will CLAR8TY indemnify the IBO for any judgment, award, or settlement.

11.6 Sell, Assign or Delegate Ownership

A. In order to preserve the integrity of the hierarchical structure, it is necessary for CLAR8TY to place restrictions on the transfer, assignment, or sale of an position.

B. A CLAR8TY IBO may not sell or assign his or her rights or delegate his or her position as an IBO without prior written approval by CLAR8TY, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted sale, assignment, or delegation without such approval may be voided at the discretion of CLAR8TY.

C. Should the sale be approved by CLAR8TY, the Buyer assumes the position of the Seller at the current qualified title, but at the current “paid as” rank, at the time of the sale and acquires the Seller’s Downline.

D. To request corporate authorization for a sale or transfer of a CLAR8TY position, the following items must be submitted to the CLAR8TY Compliance Department:

III. A CLAR8TY IBO Agreement completed and signed by the Buyer.

IV. Payment of the $100 administration fee.

11.7 Separating a CLAR8TY Business

A. Pending a divorce or dissolution of a partnership or other business entity, the parties must adopt one of the following methods of operation:

I. One of the parties may, with the written consent of the other(s), operate the CLAR8TY business whereby the relinquishing Spouse, shareholders, partners, members or trustees authorize CLAR8TY to deal directly and solely with the other Spouse, non-relinquishing shareholder, partner, member or trustee.

II. The parties may continue to operate the CLAR8TY business jointly on a “business as usual” basis, whereupon all compensation paid by CLAR8TY will be paid in the name designated by the IBOs or in the name of the entity to be divided, as the parties may independently agree between them. If no name is stipulated, CLAR8TY will pay compensation to the name on record and in such event, the IBO named on the account shall indemnify CLAR8TY from any claims from the other business owner or the other Spouse with respect to such payment.

B. CLAR8TY recognizes only one Downline organization and will issue only one commission check per CLAR8TY business per commission cycle. Under no circumstances will the Downline of an organization be divided, nor will CLAR8TY split commission and bonus checks.

C. If a relinquishing Spouse, partner or owner of the business has completely relinquished (“Relinquishing Party”), in writing, all rights to the original CLAR8TY business, he or she may immediately thereafter re-enroll under the Sponsor and Placement of his or her choice. In such cases, however, the Relinquishing Party shall have no rights to, and shall not solicit, any IBO or active Customer in the former organization, and must develop a new business in the same manner as any other new CLAR8TY IBO. An IBO in the Relinquishing Party’s former Downline who wishes to transfer to the Relinquishing Party’s new organization or to any other organization, must comply with the requirements in Section 13.5.

11.8 Succession

A. Upon the death or incapacity of an IBO, the IBO’s business may be passed on to his or her legal successors in interest (successor).

III. Meet all of the qualifications for the last rank achieved by the former IBO.

B. Bonus and commission checks of a CLAR8TY business transferred based on this section will be paid in a single check to the successor. The successor must provide CLAR8TY with an “address of record” to which all bonus and commission checks will be sent. Checks will be based on the current performance of the position, not the highest rank or volume achieved.

C. If the business is bequeathed to joint devisees (successor), they must form a business entity and acquire a Federal taxpayer identification number. CLAR8TY will issue all bonus and commission checks and one 1099 Miscellaneous Income Tax form to the business entity only.

D. Appropriate legal documentation must be submitted to CLAR8TY Compliance Department to ensure the transfer is done properly. To affect a testamentary transfer of a CLAR8TY business, the successor must provide the following to CLAR8TY Compliance department:

I. A certified copy of the death certificate; and

II. A notarized copy of the will or other appropriate legal documentation establishing the successor’s right to the CLAR8TY business.

E. To complete a transfer of the CLAR8TY business because of incapacity, the successor must provide the following to the CLAR8TY Compliance department:
