4. Cooperation and Good Faith. The parties hereto hereby agree to cooperate with the other and to act in good faith and to fairly deal with each other in all respects. This covenant of cooperation and good faith extends to the conduct and efforts described in Addendum 1, "Description of Services and Compensation." Nothing herein, however, shall serve to require or otherwise mandate Ambassador to achieve any of the goals set forth in Milestones set forth in Addendum 1 by a date certain, or at all; although any efforts toward this end will be subject to the Parties' obligations to cooperate fairly and to act in good faith in all respects.
5. Compliance with the Law. Ambassador shall comply with any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and shall not engage in any act or omission that constitutes a violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.
6. Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the date Vitalibis signs and accepts my application and continues until terminated ("Term").
7. Termination. Ambassador expressly and unconditionally understands and acknowledges that he/she may terminate this Agreement for any reason, or for no reason, at any time by giving Vitalibis written or email (XxxxxxxxXxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx) notice. Ambassador also expressly and unconditionally understands and acknowledges that, in the event Ambassador breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, or any New Agreement, and does not cure such breach(es) within thirty (30) calendar days after Vitalibis gives written notice to Ambassador and to Ambassador's counsel, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, LLP of such breach(es), Vitalibis may terminate this Agreement, or any New Agreement. The date of termination will be the date Vitalibis gives Ambassador and Ambassador's counsel, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, LLP written notice of termination ("Termination Date"). If the Agreement is terminated for any reason, or for no reason, I expressly and unconditionally understand, acknowledge and agree that I will immediately and permanently lose (a) all rights, titles, interests, benefits and privileges available to an Ambassador, including, but not limited to, rights to commissions, bonuses and other compensation, other than those rights, titles, interests, benefits and privileges which have become earned and acquired and/or due and payable prior to or on the Date of Termination, and (b) any and all rights and claims relating, directly or indirectly, to my sales organization and rights under this Agreement. The Parties also agree that any portion of the Milestone Incentive Benefits, as defined in Addendum 1, accumulated upon termination of the Agreement, regardless of cause, shall be offered to Ambassador in direct proportion to the Milestone condition(s) satisfied (e.g., if in Xxxxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxxxx and his ambassador team secured gross sales in the amount of $800,000 as of the date of termination, Ambassador will be entitled to receive 80% of the Incentive Benefits from Milestone 4).
8. No Guarantee of Income. I fully understand and agree, subject to any earned commissions hereunder or other Incentive Benefits earned or accumulated pursuant to the terms and conditions of Addendum 1, that Vitalibis has not guaranteed, and does not guarantee, that I will earn or be otherwise entitled to receive any amount of income or be profitable in my efforts hereunder, and Vitalibis has never made any representations, directly or indirectly, to the contrary. I fully understand and agree that I shall not represent to others, either directly or indirectly, that an Ambassador is guaranteed an income or will derive profits from his/her efforts hereunder. I fully understand and specifically acknowledge and agree that my income hereunder, if any, is dependent solely and exclusively on my gross sales (commissions) and my efforts in securing the Milestone achievements as set forth in Addendum 1, both of which include my direct sales of products offered by Vitalibis to the end-user / customer ("Products").6
9. General Conduct. Ambassador shall diligently and in good faith safeguard and promote the good will and reputation of (a) Vitalibis, its directors, officers, agents, advisors, attorneys and employees, and (b) the Products. I also expressly and unconditionally agree to refrain from and avoid all deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices that would otherwise serve to detrimentally impact my ability to serve as an Ambassador and to represent the Vitalibis product line and values for which it stands. The foregoing obligations, conduct and practices shall, together, constitute the policy of Vitalibis as regards minimum standards of acceptable conduct by Ambassador ("Policy"). Ambassador shall not engage in any conduct that may, damage or cast a negative light on either (a) the goodwill, reputation, brand, management personnel or business of Vitalibis, or (b) the Product(s). While it is impossible to specify all misconduct that would be contrary to our Policy, Ambassador expressly and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that the following list of conduct and standards specifically apply to and govern Ambassador's activities hereunder:
2 |
AT NO TIME SHALL AMBASSADOR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR CLAIMS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, AT ANY TIME, IN ANY FORM OF COMMUNICATION RELATING TO THE VITALIBIS PRODUCTS, OR THE INCOME THAT MAY BE DERIVED FROM HIS/HER POSITION AS AN AMBASSADOR, SAVE AND EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING:
1. | THE REPRESENTATIONS AND CLAIMS PUBLISHED BY VITALIBIS ON ITS COMPANY WEBSITE; |
2. | THE REPRESENTATIONS AND CLAIMS PUBLISHED BY VITALIBIS ON THE PRODUCT PACKAGING; and |
3. | THE REPRESENTATIONS AND CLAIMS ON THE CONTAINERS IN WHICH THE PRODUCTS ARE SOLD. |
· | Ambassador must conspicuously identify himself/herself as a Vitalibis Independent Contractor / Ambassador in all advertising, telephone directory listings, promotional material, social media postings, and other forms of communication in which Ambasador promotes Vitalibis, the Products, Vitalibis services ("Services ") and/or the Vitalibis business. Ambassador is responsible for the content of all material that he/she produces and/or utilizes in the performance of Services hereunder, specifically including, but not limited to any and all of his/her postings on any social media site, as well as all posting on any social media site that he/she own, operate, manage or control. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude or otherwise restrict Dusty from marketing Vitalibis products on his various business websites, provided that any and all sales under and through Dusty's Vitalibis website are processed and appropriately credited in and through Dusty's Vitalibis website sales link. |
· | Deceptive conduct is always strictly prohibited — no exceptions. Ambassador must ensure that his/her statements are truthful, fair, accurate, and are not misleading in any fashion. However, and because Ambassador will rely on certain representations and claims made by Vitalibis, Vitalibis expressly warrants that all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on its company website, all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on any and all product packaging, and all representations and claims on any and all containers in which Vitalibis products are sold are truthful, fair, accurate, and are not misleading in any fashion. |
· | Ambassador may not make any social media postings, or link to or from any postings or other material that is sexually explicit, obscene, pornographic, offensive, profane, hateful, threatening, harmful, defamatory, libelous, harassing, or discriminatory (whether based on race, ethnicity, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical disability, or otherwise), is graphically violent, is solicitous of any unlawful behavior, that engages in personal attacks on any individual, group, or entity, or is in violation of any intellectual property rights of Vitalibis or any third party. |
· | If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, or for no reason, Ambassador must immediately, commencing on the Date of Termination, and forever thereafter, discontinue using the Vitalibis name, trademark and all other Vitalibis intellectual property, and all derivatives of such intellectual property, in postings on any social media, websites, or other promotional material, for the purpose of promoting sales or other related business activity. |
· | Ambassador may not represent or imply that any state or federal government official, agency, or body has approved or endorses Vitalibis, its business, programs, or Products unless any such state or federal governmental official, agency, or body has approved or endorsed Vitalibis, its business, programs, or Products, or Ambassador is given authorization by Vitalibis to make such representations. |
Ambassador expressly and unconditionally represents, warrants and agrees that he/she shall not, directly or indirectly, offer the Products for sale or fulfill sales/orders of such Products through any website or other electronic site, without the express prior written consent of Vitalibis, which can be granted solely through execution by Vitalibis of a separate and distinct Vitalibis Authorized Online Seller Agreement. Execution by Vitalibis of the Authorized Online Seller Agreement constitutes the sole and exclusive authorized means of providing its consent to advertise, market or sell the Products online. No Vitalibis employee or agent may authorize online sales through oral statements, other written agreements, or by any other means. Selling on third-party marketplace sites, including Amazon, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, Sears Marketplace, and Jet, or through drop-ship accounts (e.g. Rakuten, Newegg, Overstock), classified sites (e.g. Etsy, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace), or social media is absolutely and strictly prohibited — no exceptions. Any Ambassador that violates the above prohibitions is subject to immediate and permanent termination of (i) this Agreement, and (ii) all purchasing and selling privileges.

10. Indemnification and Defense. Vitalibis and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, attorneys, agents and assigns (collectively referred to as "Indemnifying Parties") shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless indemnitee Ambassador2 from, against and in respect of any and all losses involving a Third Party products liability claim or action incurred or suffered by the Ambassador, directly or indirectly, or relating to Vitalibis products. Indemnifying Parties shall defend indemnify and hold harmless Ambassador from, against and in respect to any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings, or other related litigation arising from, or in connection with, any and all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on its company website, all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on any and all product packaging, and all representations and claims on any and all containers in which Vitalibis products, including where Ambassador has repeated or disseminated such material. Ambassador and Vitalibis expressly agree that Ambassador shall retain the right, at Ambassador's sole discretion, to retain the attorney of Ambassador's choice in any such suit without waiving any of the defense and indemnity rights stated herein.
In connection with any agreement Vitalibis enters into with any other Ambassador, associate or otherwise, Vitalibis expressly represents and warrants that it shall require and include in any such agreement an indemnity and defense provision of equal dignity with the terms and conditions of this Section 10. The express intent of including this required provision is to insure that Dusty is protected from liability arising, directly or indirectly, from the action and/or inaction hereunder by any and all other Vitalibis Ambassadors.
In turn, Ambassador agrees to indemnify Vitalibis in connection with any conduct of Ambassador (conduct for which Vitalibis does not owe a duty to defend and indemnify Ambassador as determined by the above) for which there has been an adjudication of liability against Vitalibis.
11. Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" includes, but is not limited to, the identities, contact information, and/or sales information relating to Vitalibis Ambassadors and/or Customers: (a) that is contained in or derived from any Ambassador's respective "Behind the Counter" facilities or programs; (b) that is derived from any reports issued by Vitalibis to Ambassadors to assist them in operating and managing his/her respective Vitalibis-related business; and/or (c) to whom/which an Ambassador would not otherwise have access or would not otherwise have acquired, but for his/her independent contractor relationship with Vitalibis. Confidential Information also includes proprietary business trade secrets which belongs exclusively to Vitalibis, but are provided to Ambassador in strict confidence, and subject to prior execution of a Non-competition, Non-disclosure and Non-Circumvention Agreement, consistent with and governed in all respects by Nevada law. Such Agreement shall be expressly and unconditionally deemed by the parties hereto, for all purposes, to have been executed in the State of Nevada.

12. Commissions. Vitalibis utilizes a unique compensation plan with three distinct commission areas: 1) Retail Commission, 2) Level 1 Commissions and 3) Level 2 Commissions. Accordingly, in addition to the benefits afforded to Ambassador under Xxxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxxxx shall also be entitled to the commissions from sales as follows:
· | Retail Commissions are earned by Ambassadors who sell Products to Retail Customers. Retail Customers are those customers who purchase product directly through the Vitalibis website and who are not otherwise defmed as Xxxxx 0 xx Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxx uses a tiered Retail Commission structure as follows: Total Retail Sales between $1-499 in a calendar month will earn a 20% commission; Total Retail Sales between $500-999 in a calendar month will earn a 25% commission; Total Retail Sales of $1,000 or more in a calendar month will earn 30% commission. |
· | Level 1 Commissions earned by Ambassadors whose Level 1 Ambassadors generate sales volume. Level 1 Ambassadors are ambassadors defined in Addendum 1 as members of Dusty's Ambassador Team. Vitalibis uses a tiered Level 1 Commission structure as follows: Total Level 1 Volume between $1-2,499 in a calendar month will earn 5% commission; Total Level 1 Volume between $2,500-$4,999 in a calendar month will earn 7% commission; Total Level 1 Volume of $5,000 or more in a calendar month will earn 10% commission. |
· | Level 2 Commissions are earned by Ambassadors whose Level 2 Ambassadors generate sales volume. Level 2 Ambassadors are ambassadors not otherwise defined as Retail Customers or Level 1 Ambassadors and are those who sign up as ambassadors through the company website. All Level 2 Commissions are paid out at 5%. |
Payments for all commissions earned shall be paid to Ambassador on a monthly basis, unless Vitalibis modifies its payment system to enable weekly and/or daily payment of commissions to its entire Ambassador community.
13. Adjustment to Commissions. When a Products is returned to Vitalibis for a refund, is repurchased by the Company, or a chargeback occurs, the commissions earned as a result of the corresponding sale will be deducted from the Ambassador and his/her commissions. A refund of one order may impact the commissions for one or more Ambassadors, but shall not, in any way, affect any of the benefits earned or accumulated under the Milestone provisions set forth in Addendum 1.
14. Order Cancellation and Return Policy. Federal and state law requires that Ambassador notifies his/her retail Customers that the Customers have 3 business days within which to cancel his/her purchase and receive a full refund upon return of the Products in substantially as good condition as when they were delivered. Ambassador shall verbally inform his/her Customers of this right, shall provide them with 2 copies of a retail receipt at the time of the sale, and shall point out this cancellation right stated on the receipt. Vitalibis agrees that it is responsible for keeping Ambassador informed of any changes to the Order Cancellation and Return Policy, and/or any changes in the applicable Federal and state law.
· | NOTE: The exceptions to the 3-business day rule are as follows: 5 business days for Alaska residents; and 15 business days for residents of North Dakota over the age of 65. For purposes of counting the applicable days, Saturday is a business day, Sundays and legal holidays are not business days. |
· | In addition to the Federal and State laws requiring cancellation notices, Vitalibis offers the following return policy: |
· | Return Procedures: Within 45 calendar days of a Product purchase, you must complete a Return Authorization Form (available on the Company website xxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx). Return the merchandise along with the fully completed Return Authorization Form to Vitalibis' home office (the return shipping address is on the Return Authorization Form). |
15. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. Jurisdiction and venue of any matter arising hereunder shall reside exclusively in the Superior Court of Placer County, California. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all matters relating to any and all disputes of whatsoever nature arising hereunder, and the sole and exclusive method of resolution of such disputes shall be binding, non-appealable arbitration hereunder. This notwithstanding, the laws of the State of Nevada shall solely and exclusively govern all matters relating to or arising, directly or indirectly, from this Agreement.

16. Dispute Resolution.
· | If a dispute arises relating to any relationship, contractual or otherwise, between or among Vitalibis, its officers, employees, members, agents, attorneys, partners, Ambassadors or vendors ("Party" or "Parties"), or arising out of any Products sold by Vitalibis, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute in an amicable and mutually satisfactory manner. |
· | In the event such efforts are unsuccessful for any reason, either Party may serve a written notice of arbitration ("Notice of Arbitration") on the other Party.

· | THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT, IN ORDER TO PROMOTE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT REASONABLY POSSIBLE A MUTUALLY AMICABLE |

If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator or an arbitrator is not selected by agreement, an arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the Commercial Rules of A.A.A. |
· | The Arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et. seq.; and the judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any California court having jurisdiction to enter the judgement.

NOTE: Louisiana resident Ambassadors may choose to arbitrate contract disputes in Louisiana and Louisiana law will govern the contract and dispute. |
· | The Parties agree that any arbitration proceeding will be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide, basis, and that any proceeding between the Parties may not be consolidated with another proceeding between one of the Parties and any other entity or person.

· | Except as provided in the following sentences, no party shall be entitled to commence or maintain any action in a court of law upon any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted and determined as provided herein and then only for the enforcement of such arbitration award. Provided that, notwithstanding this Dispute Resolution Policy, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in Placer County, California to seek injunctive relief before or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding.

Judgment upon the award may be entered by the Superior Court of Placer County, California, or application may be made to such court for the judicial acceptance of the award and order of enforcement, as the case may be, if the Arbitrator's award or decision is not complied with within 7 calendar days of the date the Arbitrator's decision is issued. |
