Consultant represents and warrants the following and understands and agrees to the following limitations on their activities:
·
|
Consultants are prohibited by contract from making any direct offer to become a user of the site or a Consultant to any prospective user of the site or any prospective Consultant.
|
·
|
Consultants are prohibited by contract from discussing any aspect of the Consultant Program with any prospective user of the site or any prospective Consultant in any form of communication which falls outside that permitted under SEC Rule 134, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and in connection therewith may not advise any potential user of any merits of becoming a Consultant.
|
·
|
Consultants who wish to earn Points from referrals may only do so by requesting the Company issue an invitation to a potential user of the site as set forth in the Company’s registration statement filed with the SEC. They may not issue any such invitation directly.
|
·
|
Consultants represent that they have not participated in the offer or sale of any securities prior to their becoming a Consultant to the Company.
|
·
|
No Consultant can be involved any negotiations between the Company and a prospective user, let alone any prospective consultant of the merits of becoming a Consultant.
|
·
|
Consultants must comply with all Consultant Transaction Program procedures as set forth in the Company’s registration statement.
|
·
|
Consultants understand and agree that potential Users they may ask the company to invite are not required to become Consultants. Although Consultants will receive Points as a result of asking the Company to invite other persons to become Users of the website, Consultants will not receive any additional Points or any other benefits if an Invited User elects, on their own and only by following the procedures set forth on our website, to become a Consultant. In other words, a Consultant will receive exactly the same number of Points in connection with a User that the Consultant asked the company to invite as well as that Company Invited User’s use of the website regardless of whether or not the invited user elects to become a Consultant or uses our site simply as a User.

Assignment: The duties of Consultant may not be assigned without consent of the Company.
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.
