SPECIAL WEB SITE ALERT

This is a special alert to all Independent Business Associate regarding Web sites. We want to thank those of you who have taken the initiative to launch your own Web site. However, due to federal regulations, all Independent Business Associate promoting Company on their own Web sites must register their sites with Company, LLC.

Regulators are moving in the direction of holding both the individual Independent Business Associate and the corporation responsible for the content of Independent Business Associate sites. Your cooperation is mandatory in our effort to comply with federal regulations. We must all work together to protect this wonderful opportunity.

It is imperative that all existing Independent Business Associate Web sites be registered with Company. If you are planning to launch a site, it must be registered before it launches. Please complete the following two steps in order to register your site.

1. Review Content:
Before registering your site, please eliminate any and all health claims stating that Company’s products are intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition. When reviewing the content of your Web site, ask yourself the following questions: does this sentence in any way imply that the product A) treats a disease, B) prevents a disease, C) cures a disease, or D) attempts to diagnose a disease? If the answer is YES to ANY of those questions, it’s a drug claim and the copy MUST BE REMOVED! Your Web site content focus should be on promoting health, maintaining health and/or optimizing one’s physical condition. If you have any questions regarding appropriate content, please contact Company.

2. Contact Company to Register Your Site
To register your existing site, or pre-register a pending site, please provide your Web site address to Company.

Please allow us 2-3 weeks to review your site and contact you with any concerns.

After registering your Web site, please be aware that Company will be reviewing all Web sites periodically and editing for health claims. As always, we expect our Independent Business Associate to use professionalism when promoting Company. All literature and Web sites should be free of all exaggerated claims as well as any type of profanity or vulgarity including text, photos, and so forth. We appreciate your prompt cooperation in this matter.


Company CORPORATE LOGO USAGE STANDARDS

Logo Usage

Company permits its Independent Business Associate to use the Company logo in their promotional efforts. Uses include, but are not limited to, business cards and stationery, print advertisements, promotional flyers, Web sites and signage.

Logo Standards

In order to maintain the integrity of the Company logo, and protect the corporate trademark, the following usage standards must be applied whenever the logo is used:

    * Do not screen the logo, or outline it. Do not distort the logo in any way.

    * Do not frame logo.

    * Do not enlarge logo art beyond reasonable size, as it will have a jagged edge. (If you want to use it very large, contact Company Marketing & Communications to discuss.)

    * No other element should touch the logo, or go in front of or behind it.

INTERNET MARKETING

Company actively encourages our Independent Business Associate to develop marketing strategies using the Internet. The Internet is a powerful marketing tool, especially in the field of direct sales, and Company is committed to the idea of e-commerce. Through our sym-e-site program, Company offers Independent Business Associate an effective and affordable means of creating a genuine e-commerce business.

There are many fantastic ways to use the Internet as a marketing tool. However, there is one Internet marketing practice which Company does not allow our Independent Business Associate to use - "spamming".

What is "Spamming"?

Spamming is the sending of unsolicited email to persons with whom the sender has no previous relationship.

For example, sending a large number of identical (and generally not personally addressed) messages to a list of email addresses purchased or obtained from any source, for the purpose of introducing a product, or a business opportunity. This email is known as "spam". In general, the recipient does not like receiving spam. It is not like getting catalog in the mail... it irritates people far more for some reason, and reflects negatively on the sender. Also, it is rarely read, especially by the more sophisticated email user, who can quickly differentiate spam from an email message they might want to get.

Non-Spamming Policy

Company, as a matter of policy, does not allow our Independent Business Associate to use "spamming" as a marketing technique.

This policy is consistent with the policies of the Direct Selling Association. In fact, with the overwhelming passage of The Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Mail Act of 2000 in the House of Representatives, it is likely that the practice of "spamming" will become illegal in the near future. Among other provisions, this law would give Internet Service Providers the ability to issue significant fines against users caught "spamming" (up to $500 per message, with a limit of $50,000). Of course, should this law be enacted we would have to comply and impose those fines on the Independent Business Associate who was actually doing the "spamming".

Additionally, Internet Service Providers (ISP's) in general, and Company's ISP in specific, have clear policies prohibiting both the sending of "spam" email messages, and the collection of the responses to such email, even if sent from another ISP. Company Independent Business Associate who might send "spam" referencing the address of their sym-e-site or the Company corporate web site, would be in violation of this policy. Such violations could result in the closing of the Independent Business Associate's ISP account, and even the closing of Company's ISP account.

Therefore, Company prohibits our Independent Business Associate from "spamming". Any Company Independent Business Associate found to be in violation is subject to disciplinary action, which could include the revocation of their sym-e-site and/or the termination of their Independent Business Associate membership.

There are a lot of creative ways to use the Internet as a marketing tool. Try surfing the web for awhile and see what others are doing. The Internet is a wonderful new vehicle for all of us and it is creating a whole new market. We just have to learn to use it effectively and within generally accepted good business practices.
