Eligibility for Commissions
An I.A. must be active and qualified according to
the Compensation Plan(s) in order to be eligible
to receive any commission.
B.
Commissions
Commissions are earned for the sale of Subscriptions
and products or services to the people you refer

that falls within your commission structure. Commissions
are paid out monthly as described below to your
selected payment processor account. A USD $0.50
processing fee will be deducted from each I.A. commission

sure to have your payment processor updated to accept
your commissions from our back office.
VERY
IMPORTANT
To
ensure you receive your referral commissions, your
choice of payment processor MUST be updated in your

affect whether you receive your commissions.
ReferLife.com

Status
as an Independent Affiliate
A.
Maintaining Status as an Independent Affiliate and
Member
Your access to the ReferLife.com Benefits, Services
and the ReferLife.com Business Opportunity MUST
be maintained in GOOD STANDING at all times. Any
Affiliate who has not paid their monthly subscription
fee will be considered not a member in good standing
and will have broken the terms of the agreement
and will be considered inactive without the benefits
and privileges of PAID membership.
All
members will be given a maximum 7 day grace period
to get their monthly subscription fees paid. If
subscription fees are not paid in the allowed period
the unpaid position will be changed from PAID to
FREE and all commissions will be forfeited until
account is in good standing. An account may be deleted
at any time after the 7 day grace period is passed.
B.
Sale of a ReferLife.com Independent Affiliate Status
or Business of a Independent Affiliate (I.A.) of
ReferLife.com.
An Affiliate is NOT restricted from selling their
ReferLife.com Independent Affiliate Status or Business
for more than the ORIGINAL COST of the SUBSCRPTION
PURCHASED. A Subscription purchase can be transferred
to another person or may be sold for profit based
on the value developed by the original owner (seller)
or the value preceived by the purchaser.
All
transfers or sale of ReferLife.com Licenses require
the approval of ReferLife.com before any sale or
transfer is considered valid and non-reversible.
C.
Claims of Employment
An I.A. is an Independent Affiliate and not an employee
of ReferLife.com. The position of the I.A. shall
not be interpreted as creating a relationship of
employee-employer, agency, partnership or joint
venture between any participant, sponsor, referral
and ReferLife.com. An I.A. or prospective I.A. is
not and will not be employed by ReferLife.com. To
say otherwise is misleading and subject to termination
of I.A. status.
D.
Contractual Obligations
All I.A.s are responsible for any expenses which
result from their business operation. Miscellaneous
expenses include, but are not limited to, legal
fees connected with the use of a business name,
license or permits required to operate a business,
telephone expenses, product advertising, etc. The
I.A. shall not involve ReferLife.com in any contractual
relationships relative to their businesses. I.A.s
cannot and shall not open bank accounts, sign contracts,
rent or lease office space or equipment, secure
credit, make purchases or enter into agreements
of any kind in the name of ReferLife.com. Such action
is prohibited and cause for termination of I.A.
status. Each I.A. shall hold ReferLife.com its shareholders,
directors, officers, proprietors and employees harmless
from any claims, damages or liabilities arising
out of such action.
No
I.A. may make a statement of any kind that ReferLife.com,
any of its entities or themselves are in any way
associated or affiliated with any charitable organization.
ReferLife.com is a business that chooses to donate
a portion from proceeds from sales of subscriptions
to different charities.
E.
Reporting Taxes
I.A.s are not considered employees under any laws
or acts governing employees. It is the I.A.’s responsibility
to make self-employment and income tax payments
as required by laws of their country. As such, ReferLife.com
does not deduct any taxes from any commission and
does not provide yearly statements for income tax
purposes. Your earnings and income is trackable
and reported in your ReferLife.com Back Office.
Business
and Legal Entities as an Independent Affiliate
A.
Companies
A sole proprietorship, partnership, Limited Liability
Company (LLC) or corporation may become an I.A..
For
a company to become a personal I.A., or to change
their current representative status to another status,
ReferLife.com must be notified in writing. Written
notice is also required when changing an existing
individual’s referral position status to a company.
B.
Marriage
A husband and wife, common-law spouses/partners,
and immediate family members MUST fall into the
profit/business structure of the first person in
the family that makes a purchase and registers with
ReferLife.com.
C.
Forfeiture
Violation of parts A and B in this section will
result in the I.A. forfeiting his/her second and
subsequent referral positions in the compensation
plan and any current and future compensation from
these positions. Violation of parts A and B in this
section may result in the termination of your I.A.
status and all associated commissions.
D.
Multiple Subscription Purchases
Any person may register to the Referlife System
and hold one position in our Global Matrix. No person
can hold multiple positions in the exact same name
or address being the same person more than once
in our system. It is ok to have different names
with the same address but any duplicate names will
have one account deleted without question.
5.)
Personal Identification Numbers
All
I.A.s will have a unique Personal Identification
Number that identifies them as an I.A. and Member
of ReferLife.com. Personal ID Numbers must be used
in all communications with ReferLife.com at all
times.
6.)
Rights and Obligations of an I.A.
A.
Ethics
ReferLife.com conducts business in an ethical and
credible manner and expects all I.A.'s to do the
same. ReferLife.com permits no illegal or unethical
activity and will intercede when such behavior may
exist. ReferLife.com reserves the right in deciding
whether certain I.A. activities are unethical. Furthermore,
ReferLife.com may use its own discretion in determining
the appropriate course of action. ReferLife.com
reserves the right to suspend or terminate the I.A.
status, including but not limited to all commissions
if ReferLife.com determines that unethical activities
may exist. Under no circumstances would an I.A.
who is terminated for unethical or illegal activity
be entitled to a refund of their original purchase
fee, nor are they entitled to sell or transfer their
position.
There
are 3 levels of termination where if a member or
affiliate is found to be involved with unethical
activities, or activities considered detrimental
to ReferLife.com in any way.
1:
They may be placed on probation with all income
lost for the suspended period. If they are reinstated
after probation the lost income will be donated
to charity on their behalf.
2:
If not reinstated lost income goes to charity on
their behalf. If temporarily terminated this would
be for a 1 year period. At the end of the year the
member would have to complete a new registration.
3:
If permanently terminated this would mean that you
would not be allowed to participate at any time
in the future.
There
will be an investigation prior to any decision being
rendered where a probation or termination order
is given.
B.
Co-Mingling of Funds
An
I.A. must make their payment payable to ReferLife.com
only. No I.A. shall accept funds for membership
fees and co-mingle them with their personal or business
accounts. ReferLife.com may terminate any I.A. discovered
co-mingling funds or operating a bank account in
the name of ReferLife.com or any other similar name.
C.
Territorial Rights/Obtaining Referrals across Borders
The
I.A. is responsible for knowing and adhering to
all laws and accepted business practices in the
countries they choose to market. This includes but
is not limited to Customs and Immigration Laws and
accepted marketing practices.
7.)
Sponsoring New Independent Affiliates
A.
I.A. Agreements
New
I.A.s must be of legal age to enter into a contract
and complete a membership form online or download
the hard copy version located at the company website.
Membership fees may be paid by Visa, MasterCard,
American Express, certified check (cheque), bank
draft or money order. The start date of an I.A.
is the date that their completed registration form
is entered and payment received.
B.
Representation
The
I.A. shall make no claim or inference to prospective
new members as to the anticipated or actual income
an I.A. might earn. ReferLife.com makes no guarantees
of income, nor assurances of any profits or success.
Furthermore, any profits or success resulting from
activities as an I.A. will be based upon new members
obtained by their Sales Group. Any success achieved
will be based solely upon the I.A.’s effort, commitment
and skills.
Each
I.A. understands that no governmental authority
or other regulatory authorities ever reviews, endorses
or otherwise approves any product membership or
compensation program of any marketing company. As
such, each I.A. shall make no such claim to a prospective
I.A.. In the event that a question arises concerning
ReferLife.com’s compliance with the law, such question
shall be submitted to ReferLife.com in writing.
The I.A. shall make no false claims or misleading
statements concerning these relationships and understand
that if they do, their relationship with ReferLife.com
may be terminated and all commissions and bonuses
forfeited.
The
I.A. agrees to indemnify and hold ReferLife.com
harmless from all claims, damages and expenses,
including attorney fees arising out of actions or
conduct in violation of the Policies and Procedures,
and Terms and Conditions.
C.
I.A. Disputes
ReferLife.com may or may not mediate any disputes
between two or more I.A.s. ReferLife.com does, however,
reserve the right to review referral practices.
Any decisions made by ReferLife.com will be final.
D.
Changing your Sponsor
Maintaining the integrity of the referral system
is paramount. Therefore, changing referrals is strictly
prohibited.
An
I.A. may join ReferLife.com under a new referral
only after a period of no less than 1 full calendar
year from the date of resignation or no less than
1 full calendar year after an I.A. fails to renew.
All resignations must be in writing and delivered
to ReferLife.com.
ReferLife.com
reserves the right to change a member's or Independent
Affiliate's sponsor if;
a:
the sponsor has been inactive and unsupportive of
his referral for a period that exceeds 6 calendar
months
b:
it is found that unethical or misleading practices
were used by a sponsor and complaints were raised
against the sponsor.
These
are the 2 issues where ReferLife.com at its discretion
may take action and move a referral from a sponsor.
This is only done after an investigation is completed
and a ruling is given.
8.)
Maintaining/Changing the Status of your Business
A.
Monthly Subscription Membership Fee
There is a monthly subscription fee to access benefits.
Renewal payments are required no later than 7 days
after the I.A.’s payment due date. If ReferLife.com
does not receive the monthly fee within 7 days of
the payment due date, ReferLife.com will assume
that the I.A. does not wish to renew his/her status
with ReferLife.com. The I.A. will then be placed
in inactive status or may be deleted after the 7
day grace period, and all future commissions will
be forfeited. If an I.A. decides to a renew membership
at some later date, he/she may do so but if the
position has been deleted then the I.A. must register
as a new Affiliate. It is the I.A.’s responsibility
to ensure that ReferLife.com has his/her accurate
and current address and contact information. ReferLife.com
is not responsible for an I.A. who fails to renew
their monthly subscription fee.
B.
Transferring or Assigning Your I.A. Status
ReferLife.com restricts the transfer of an I.A.
status in order to protect the integrity of the
business opportunity. All requests for the transfer
of an I.A. status must be reviewed and approved
by ReferLife.com. For more information, please contact
us at admin@referlife.com
The
I.A. status WILL NOT be considered transferred until
it is approved by ReferLife.com. Therefore, DO NOT
accept any funds from the potential buyer until
the transfer has been approved and finalized. ReferLife.com
charges USD $500 plus applicable taxes to process
any approved transfer or approved sales.
No
sale of a License or Subscription of an Independent
Affiliate or Member is to exceed the original purchase
price paid for the item.
C.
Transfer/Disposition of I.A. Position
Upon the death or incapacity of an I.A., or of its
principals, the rights to the commission and marketing
position shall pass to the designated successor,
provided this successor complies with all the terms
of the ReferLife.com agreement, ReferLife.com’s
Policies and Procedures and fulfills the duties
and obligations required of an I.A.. If the transfer
is temporary (i.e. the I.A. is temporarily incapacitated),
the subsequent activation and deactivation will
be temporary.
D.
Change of e-mail address and change of information
An I.A. must report any change of e-mail address
or other information to both ReferLife.com and their
chosen method for commission payment. This may be
accomplished by updating your personal information
online at www.ReferLife.com.
