(please read carefully) - Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings as described in Worldwide Cosmetics Inc.’s Definitions of Terms.
1. I am competent and of legal age to enter into binding contracts in the state in which I enter this Agreement with Worldwide Cosmetics Inc.
2. I understand that as a Distributor, I am an independent distributor, and not an agent, employee, legal representative, partner or franchisee of Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. I further understand and agree that I will not be treated as an employee for federal or state tax purposes, nor for purposes of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, the Social Security Act, or any state unemployment acts, state employment security acts or state workers compensation acts or any other federal or state laws applicable to employees. I agree to pay all applicable federal and state income taxes, self-employment taxes, sales taxes, local taxes, and/or local license fees that may become due as a result of my activities under this Agreement.
3. I understand that the acceptance of this Agreement by Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. does not constitute the sale of a franchise or a business opportunity under state or federal law and that there are no exclusive territories granted to anyone. I also understand that I am not acquiring any interest in a security.
4. I understand that my success as a Distributor is dependent upon my own efforts and skills. I do not anticipate receiving income as a result of the efforts of any individual or entity other than myself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I understand that I am permitted to have my own employees who will be my sole and absolute responsibility and that said employee will be required to abide by the terms and conditions of our Agreement, otherwise this Agreement shall be immediately terminated in the discretion of the Company.
5. Regarding the accepted public sale price of the products, all registered distributors must adhere to the pricing policy established by the company. For retail sales, distributors may sell products to other distributors and non-distributors at a maximum discount of 50% off the list price of the product. For wholesale sales, distributors may sell products to other distributors and non-distributors as wholesale packages, at the same price that the company sells it, which means that the maximum acceptable discount offered should be the percentage discount with which the products were originally purchased. For promotions, distributors may sell products to other distributors and non-distributors at the same price at which the products were originally purchased, as long as the sale being made also includes a wholesale package. In case of violating this policy, the distributor's account will be blocked, losing all its benefits, including access to its website, placing new orders and obtaining commissions and said distributors could be subject to legal actions by the company. Additionally, if a distributor supplies products to another person who is violating this policy, this clause will also be considered violated and both distributors will be subject to the consequences set forth above in this policy.
6. If I fail to pay for products or services (including any and all applicable sales taxes and all shipping and handling charges) on or before the due date, Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. is authorized to withhold the appropriate amounts from my commission and bonus checks or withdraw the appropriate amounts from my credit card/electronic checking accounts, if any, which I have authorized Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. to charge.
7. Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. will not be responsible for the loss of any commissions and bonuses or other payments because of errors or delays in receiving agreements, orders, changes or other necessary information.

Compensation Plan, the Statement of Policies, the terms of the Customer Membership Agreement, and any other agreements, policies, guidelines, programs and offers with or from Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. (collectively referred to herein as the “Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. Agreements”). I agree to abide by any and all such amendments and that my only remedy for not accepting any such amendments is to immediately terminate this Agreement. The continuation of my Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. business or my acceptance of commission and/or bonus checks or other payments from Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. constitutes my acceptance of any such amendments. I agree that Worldwide Cosmetics Inc.’s interpretation of the Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. Agreements will be final and binding.
10. My violation of any of the terms of the Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. Agreements or of any law in the course of my business activities may result, at Worldwide Cosmetics Inc.’s discretion, in forfeiture of commission and bonus checks or other payments from Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. on all or part of my Marketing Organization, cancellation of this Agreement, or other corrective action as specified in the Statement of Policies. If this Agreement is cancelled or terminated at any time for any reason I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as an Independent Distributor, and I agree to waive all rights and claims to my Distributor Organization and to all commissions and bonuses.
11. The Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. Agreements, as amended from time to time by Worldwide Cosmetics Inc., constitute the entire agreement between Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. and me and no other prior or future promises, representations, guarantees or agreements of any kind will be valid unless in a writing signed by Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. or contained in an officially authorized publication of Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. In no event shall any other agreement or publication, or any notices, correspondence, course of dealing, or other communication or lack of communication by Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. be interpreted to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. Agreements and I agree that I may not rely on such other communications for that purpose. Nothing herein will in any way limit Worldwide Cosmetics Inc.’s ability to unilaterally amend or modify the Worldwide Cosmetics Inc.
12. To the extent any provision of the Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. Agreements is, or is found to be, invalid or unenforceable under, or in violation of, applicable law, such provision will be deemed ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, unenforceability or violation and will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of the Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. Agreements.

The credit card provided for this order will be charged by a member of the company’s customer service team. Orders in which payment method is declined may not be processed. Attempts may be made by Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. to reprocess the order should my payment method decline; however, Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. makes no assurance that these attempts will be made. If my credit card is due to expire, I acknowledge that my issuing bank may update my expiration date automatically, which will allow Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. to process my order payment; however, I agree to be responsible for providing current payment. If an order cannot be processed due to payment difficulties, Worldwide Cosmetics will not be held responsible for personal volume shortfalls. I agree that Worldwide Cosmetics Inc. reserves the right to change my orders to subsequent payment methods added by me if my first payment method declines.

Such arbitration proceedings will be conducted in Miami, Florida and will be heard by one arbitrator in accordance with the then current commercial arbitration roles of the American Arbitration Association.

34. Distributors must abide by the claims policy which establishes that claims can only be evaluated up to 60 days from the emission of the invoice corresponding to the disputed merchandise. Otherwise, the claim will be automatically dismissed.
35. The company’s refund policy states that refunds can only be approved up to 60 days from the emission of the invoice corresponding to the disputed merchandise. All refund inquiries go through an evaluation process before being approved. If the refund inquiryis approved, all bonuses granted to the upline structure will be deducted from the refunded amount.
36. Distributors must abide by the wire transfers policy which establishes that the company can only transfer funds to a distributor's bank account if said funds are generated by bonuses and incentives given by the company's compensation plans. The company will not transfer funds that are available on a Distributor's Ewallet thanks to one or several Ewallet Re-Charge transactions because all funds added to the Ewallet by placing a Ewallet Recharge order must be used to purchase products.
37. Confirmation of order shipment and delivery. Once the invoice corresponding to a specific order is emitted, the shipment of said invoice will be executed within a period of 1 to 2 working days. The company makes use of the services provided by transportation companies like FedEx, UPS and USPS to carry our shipments and deliveries. Orders will arrive at their destination after being shipped within a timeframe of 1 to 5 working days depending of the city of destination.
38. Only the client whose name appears on the order document shall be able to solicit the cancellation and refund of the given order. We request the client in question contact us personally. In order for the cancellation request and refund to be approved, the products received by the client must still be in their original state, that is, the products must have never been used or opened. In accordance with the specific situation presented, the financial funds received by the company would be refunded in a time period of 24 hours after the date in which the cancellation request was informed by the client, and said funds shall only be refunded to the client whose name appears on the order. These funds do not acquire any type of interest over time. In order to return the products back to the company, the client is expected to deliver said products to the address of the Authorized Distributor who conducted the sales transaction within a maximum time period of 24 hours after the refund was solicited. If the products are not returned by the client within the specified time frame, then the client shall be held responsible for not meeting the requirements necessary for the cancellation process to be approved and thus they would have to complete the payment for said products.
39. In the event of the death of an active distributor, the position and structure associated with said distributor will become owned by the company. The distribution of the bonuses generated by the structure previously owned by the deceased distributor will be subject to company’s discretion.
40. Any position that becomes inactive due to not making purchases for more than 3 months and that shares a primary shipping address with one of its sponsors, will become owned by the company. The distribution of the bonuses generated by the structure previously owned by the inactive distributor will be subject to company’s discretion.
41. No distributor can be changed from its original structure unless they have 12 months of inactivity, that is, 12 months without making purchases. Violating this policy implies the loss of all the benefits associated with the Eternal business plan as well as the right to access the website of the distributor that is in breach of this regulation.
42. Distributors must abide by the company’s sponsor change policy, which states that a request to change the sponsor of a specific distributor can only be accepted if all sponsors in said distributor’s scending line agree to the modification and if the company considers that the adjustment will be of benefit for all parties involved.
43. The parties waive any right to asset any claims against the other party as a representative or member in any class or representative action, expect where such waiver is prohibited by law or deemed by a court of law to be against public policy. To the extent either party is permitted by law or court of law to proceed with a class or representative action against the other, the parties agree that: (i) the prevailing party shall not be entitled to recover attorney’s fees or costs associated with pursuing the class or representative action; and (ii) the party who initiates or participates as a member of the class will not submit a claim or otherwise participate in any recovery secured through the class or representative action.
44. Worldwide Cosmetics reserves the right to: modify, add, replace, or annul, any of the stated terms and conditions within this agreement without previous notification, simply by updating this document on the website under Section “Terms and Conditions”.
45. According to our financing plan policy, the sponsor that serves as endorser of a payment plan of one of the members of their structure must cover part of the outstanding balance of said member in case he or she is not able to comply with the weekly installments of their financing plan. Said charge will be carried out as a debit in the sponsor's wallet 15 days after the date of the last deferred payment for an amount of 50% of said installment. Likewise, the remaining 50% of the deferred payment will be debited from the Ewallet of all sponsors on the upline of said distributor who have benefited from bonuses as a result of their order. Debits will be made routinely for each installment that is delayed for 15 days or more. In the event that the debtor later pays what they owed, the amount debited on the sponsor’s Ewallet for this concept will be returned.
46. The company reserves the right to temporarily block a distributor's account when, in the company’s sole discretion, it considers that the distributor is engaging in an improper practice or an unlawful activity. The Distributor’s account will be blocked, until the Company confirms that the Distributor is acting within the terms of our agreement, and is not engaging in an unlawful or improper practice.
47. By registering as an Independent Distributor of the Company, the Distributor agrees and acknowledges that all benefits and bonuses granted under the Company Business Plan are subject to audit and verification by the Company. Said audit will be carried out for the purpose of validating that the Distributor is complying with the requirements established in the Company's Business Plan, including, but not limited to, the generation of sales, the registration of new Distributors, and the maintenance of an active status as a seller. Likewise, the distributor agrees to fully cooperate with the Company during any audit, providing all documentation and information requested. If as a result of an audit it is determined that a Distributor has not met the requirements set forth in the Company's Business Plan, the Company reserves the right to adjust, suspend or revoke any bonus or benefit granted to the Distributor. Additionally, if sponsor movements are detected within the same structure with the objective of increasing repetition or other bonuses, this action will be considered a violation of the company's business plan and the bonuses received as a result of these movements will be revoked.
48. Packages and/or products pending to be released that come from orders that were originated 2 years ago or more are subject to an extensive audit, with the possibility of ruling the period of time authorized for the release and/or request of said package and/or product as expired.
49. Furthermore, any account that has not made any purchases within the last four months will be transferred to the ownership of the company. Consequently, if the previous account owner wishes to place a new order, they will need to re-register under same previous sponsor, following the same process as any other new distributor.
