Wellness Credits. The Company provides a means whereby Coaches can provide rewards, gifts, or incentives to another Coach or Client; this mechanism is called “Wellness Credits.” Purchases of Wellness Credits are non-commissionable. Any purchases of Wellness Credits that the Company deems were made by a Coach in order to manipulate rank or the OPTAVIA Integrated Compensation Plan are strictly forbidden. Wellness Credits act as a method of payment on a Coach’s or Client’s next order. Coaches are not required to purchase Wellness Credits to participate in the OPTAVIA business opportunity and Coaches are encouraged to limit the purchase of Wellness Credits to a reasonable amount so that their business expenses do not outweigh their potential income with OPTAVIA. Should the Company determine, in its sole discretion, that a Coach is purchasing an unreasonable amount of Wellness Credits or is using Wellness Credits in violation of these Policies, the Company may take action to prohibit or limit a Coach’s purchase of Wellness Credits. An unreasonable amount is not easily defined, as it would vary depending on the Coach’s rank and corresponding commissions. Therefore, if necessary, the Company will determine whether the purchase of Wellness Credits is unreasonable on a case-by-case basis. In addition, Wellness Credits may only be applied on up to 50%, or half of a Client’s or Coach’s order of products (e.g., if a Coach gifts $50.00 in Wellness Credits to a Client, that Client would only be able to apply the Wellness Credits to an order in the amount of $100.00 or more). Using Wellness Credits in excess of 50% of a Client’s order is considered Bonus Buying. Wellness Credits are a gift, and can only be redeemed by the recipient Client/Coach through placing an order. Once given, Wellness Credits belong to the Client or Coach who receives them, unless and until those Wellness Credits expire, in which case they will revert back to the Coach who gifted the Wellness Credit(s). The following are acceptable uses of Wellness Credits:
