AFFILIATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES GUIDE

SECTION 1 - CORPORATE MISSION

Our Vision

Social media and internet marketing strategies have completely changed the way that entrepre-

neurs are able to build, grow, and scale their businesses online.

Many entrepreneurs, however, struggle to successfully implement up-to-date strategies and

real-time internet marketing concepts that truly work. Our programs are specifically designed to

fill this void by providing high-quality, entrepreneurial training. Our trainings are presented by

expert professionals who actually practice and continually perfect what they teach. Additionally,

our trainings, which are constantly updated, will be uniquely presented to enhance learning, re-

tention, and success for our Customers.

We believe this new method of teaching will disrupt the internet marketing industry by empow-

ering entrepreneurs with the key knowledge necessary to take immediate action with a focus on

achieving goals for their businesses.

SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION

2.1 POLICIES AND COMPENSATION PROGRAM INCORPORATED INTO AFFILIATE

AGREEMENT

These Affiliate Policies and Procedures and the Compensation Program, in their present form,

and as amended by Tecademics LLC (hereafter “Tecademics” or the “Company”) from time to

time at its sole discretion, are incorporated into and form an integral part of the Tecademics Af-

filiate Agreement (the “Agreement”). It is the responsibility of each Affiliate to read, understand,

adhere to, and insure that he or she is aware of and operating under the most current version of

these Policies and Procedures. Currently, Tecademics has expanded policies applicable to Adver-

tising, Website Terms and Conditions, Spam, Intellectual Property and Privacy, which are incor-

porated by reference into this agreement. Throughout these Policies and Procedures, when the

term “Agreement” is used, it collectively refers to the Tecademics Affiliate Application and

Agreement, these Policies and Procedures, and the Tecademics Compensation Program. These

documents are also incorporated by reference into the Tecademics Affiliate Agreement (all in

their current form and as amended from time to time by Tecademics at its sole discretion).

2.2 CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT

Tecademics reserves the right to amend the Agreement and its prices at its sole discretion. By

executing the Affiliate Agreement, an Affiliate agrees to abide by all amendments or modifica-


tions that Tecademics elects to make. Amendments shall be effective immediately after publica-

tion of notice that the Agreement has been modified. Amendments shall not apply retroactively

to conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. Notification of amend-

ments shall be published by one or more of the following methods: (1) posting on the Com-

pany’s official web site, (2) electronic mail (e-mail), (3) posting in Affiliates’ back-offices, (4) in-

clusion in Company periodicals, (5) inclusion in product orders, or (6) special mailings. The con-

tinuation of an Affiliate Tecademics opportunity, the acceptance of any benefits under the

Agreement or an Affiliate’s acceptance of bonuses or commissions constitutes acceptance of all

amendments.

2.3 POLICIES AND PROVISIONS SEVERABLE

If any provision of the Agreement, in its current form or as may be amended, is found to be inva-

lid or unenforceable for any reason, only the invalid portion(s) of the provision shall be severed

and the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The severed provi-

sion, or portion thereof, shall be reformed to reflect the purpose of the provision as closely as

possible.

2.3.1 Correcting Clerical Errors in this Policy Guide

For purposes of this Policy Guide, a clerical error is an unintentional mistake that does not

change the result or intent of the Policy. Some examples of clerical errors are:

drafting errors, missing or incorrect words or numbers, misspellings;

mathematical Tabulation errors, dates, grammatical errors, incorrect headings;

illogical use of words or terms, or ambiguity inconsistent with earlier editions of this

Policy Guide.

When asking for an interpretation, a party must clearly identify the clerical error in question.

When a party requests a corrected initial or final interpretation, Compliance must either: 1)

send all parties a corrected text, or 2) deny the request, leaving the original text in effect. If

Compliance corrects an initial request, the correction will be published in the VO.

2.4 WAIVER

The Company never gives up its right to insist on compliance with the Agreement and with the

applicable laws governing the conduct of an opportunity. No failure of Tecademics to exercise

any right or power under the Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance by an Affiliate with

any obligation or provision of the Agreement, and no custom or practice of the parties at vari-

ance with the terms of the Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of Tecademics right to demand

exact compliance with the Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of an Affili-

ate against Tecademics shall not constitute a defense to Tecademics enforcement of any term or

provision of the Agreement.


SECTION 3 - BECOMING AN AFFILIATE

3.1 REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME AN AFFILIATE

To become a Tecademics Affiliate, each applicant must be at least 18 years of age and submit a properly completed online Affiliate Application and Agreement to Tecademics.

Upon review of an application, Tecademics reserves the right to accept or reject any Affiliate Ap-

plication and Agreement for any reason or for no reason.

3.2 PRODUCT PURCHASES

Other than the payment of the ongoing monthly administrative virtual office fee, if any, no person

is required to purchase Tecademics products, services or sales aids, or to pay any charge or fee to

become or remain an Affiliate.

3.3 AFFILIATE BENEFITS

Once an Affiliate Application and Agreement has been accepted by Tecademics the benefits of

the Compensation Program and the Affiliate Agreement are available to the new Affiliates.

These benefits include the right to:

Become Certified to market defined Tecademics products and services;

Participate in the Tecademics Compensation Program (receive bonuses and commis-sions, if eligible);

Sponsor other individuals as Customers or Affiliates into the Tecademics opportunity and thereby build a down-line and progress through the Tecademics Compensation Pro-gram;

Receive periodic Tecademics literature and other Tecademics communications;

Participate in Tecademics-sponsored support, service, training, motivational, and recog-nition functions, upon payment of appropriate charges, if applicable; and

Participate in promotional and incentive contests and programs sponsored by Tecadem-ics for its Affiliates.

3.4 TERM AND RENEWAL OF YOUR TECADEMICS OPPORTUNITY

The term of the Affiliate Agreement is month-to-month and is automatically renewed upon the

payment of the monthly Affiliate virtual office access fee, if any. Should an Affiliate fail to pay

his/her monthly fee, the Affiliate’s opportunity will be put on suspension and will not be eligible

for commissions or bonuses until all past-due Affiliate fees are paid. If the Affiliate fails to pay

his/her fee for a full month, the Affiliate’s Agreement shall be permanently terminated.

SECTION 4 - OPERATING A TECADEMICS OPPORTUNITY


4.1 ADHERENCE TO THE TECADEMICS COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Affiliates must adhere to all of the terms of the Tecademics Compensation Program as set forth

in official Tecademics literature. An Affiliate shall not offer the Tecademics opportunity through,

or in combination with, any other system, program, sales tools, or method of marketing other

than those specifically set forth in official Tecademics literature. Affiliates shall not require or

encourage other current or prospective Customers or Affiliates to execute any agreement or

contract other than official Tecademics agreements and contract forms in order to become a

Tecademics Affiliate. Similarly, Affiliates shall not require or encourage other current or prospec-

tive Customers or Affiliates to make any purchase from, or payment to, any individual or other

entity to participate in the Tecademics Compensation Program other than those purchases or

payments identified as recommended or required in official Tecademics literature.

At the end of each year, Tecademics will conduct a thorough review of Compensation Program

and its effectiveness with regard to Tecademics’ business practices. Following the review, Tec-

ademics reserves the right to make any and all changes necessary to bring the Compensation

Program in line with its current business practices.

4.2 ADVERTISING

4.2.1 General

All Affiliates shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of Tecademics and its products.

The marketing and promotion of Tecademics, the Tecademics opportunity, the Compensation

Program, and Tecademics products must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethi-

cal, or immoral conduct or practices.

To promote both the products and services, and the tremendous opportunity Tecademics offers,

Affiliates should use the sales aids, opportunity tools, and support materials produced by Tec-

ademics. The Company has carefully designed its products, product labels, Compensation Pro-

gram, and promotional materials to ensure that they are promoted in a fair and truthful man-

ner, that they are substantiated, and the materials comply with the legal requirements of fed-

eral and state laws.

Affiliates may not sell sales aids to other Tecademics Affiliates. Therefore, Affiliates who receive

authorization from Tecademics to produce their own sales aids may not sell such material to any

other Tecademics Affiliates. Affiliates may make approved material available to other Affiliates

free of charge if they wish, but may not charge other Tecademics Affiliates for the material.

4.2.2 Trademarks and Copyrights / Intellectual Property

The name of Tecademics and other names as may be adopted by Tecademics are proprietary

trade names, trademarks, and service marks of Tecademics (collectively “marks”). As such, these


marks are of great value to Tecademics and are supplied to Affiliates for their use only in an ex-

pressly authorized manner. Tecademics will only allow the use of its marks, designs, or symbols,

or any derivatives thereof, solely for use by an Affiliate in the furtherance or operation of his or

her Tecademics opportunity. Tecademics will not allow the use of its marks, designs, or symbols,

or any derivatives thereof, by any person, including Tecademics Affiliates, in any manner with-

out its prior, written permission.

The content of all Company sponsored events is copyrighted material. Affiliates may not pro-

duce for sale or distribution any recorded Company events and speeches without written per-

mission from Tecademics, nor may Affiliates reproduce for sale or for personal use any record-

ing of Company-produced audio or video tape presentations.

Affiliates may not use the term Tecademics in its entirety in any form in their team name, a Ta-

gline, an external website name, a personal website address or extension, in an e-mail address,

as a personal name, or as a nickname. Additionally, only use the phrase Tecademics Independent

Affiliate in your phone greeting or on your answering machine to clearly separate your inde-

pendent Tecademics opportunity from Tecademics. For example, you may not secure the do-

main name wwwTecademicsmypro.com, nor may you create an email address such as Tecadem-

[email protected].

4.2.3 Independent Tecademics Affil iate Logo

If you use a Tecademics logo in any communication, you must use the Affiliate version of the

Tecademics logo. Using any other Tecademics logo requires written corporate approval.

4.2.4 Media and Media Inquiries

Affiliates must not attempt to respond to media inquiries regarding Tecademics, its products or

services, or their independent Tecademics opportunity. All inquiries by any type of media must

be immediately referred to Tecademics Marketing Department. This policy is designed to assure

that Tecademics provides accurate and consistent information to the public as well as maintain-

ing a proper public image.

4.2.5 Unsolicited Email-SPAM

Tecademics does not permit Affiliates to send unsolicited commercial emails unless such emails

strictly comply with applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the federal

CAN SPAM Act. Any email sent by an Affiliate that promotes Tecademics, the Tecademics oppor-

tunity, or Tecademics products and services must comply with the following:

There must be a functioning return email address to the sender.

There must be either 1) a notice in the email that advises the recipient that he or she may reply to the email, via the functioning return email address, to request that future

http://www.v2/


email solicitations or correspondence not be sent to him or her (a functioning “opt-out” notice); or 2) a functioning unsubscribe link.

The email must include the Affiliate’s physical mailing address.

The email must clearly and conspicuously disclose that the message is an advertisement or solicitation.

The use of deceptive subject lines or false header information is prohibited.

All opt-out requests, whether received by email or regular mail, must be honored.

Tecademics may periodically, at its sole discretion and without formal notice to Affiliates, send

commercial emails on behalf of Affiliates. By entering into the Affiliate Agreement, Affiliate

agrees that the Company may send such emails and that the Affiliate’s physical and email ad-

dresses will be included in such emails as outlined above. Affiliates shall honor opt-out requests

generated as a result of such emails sent by the Company. Additional information can be found

in the Virtual Office under the tab “Corporate Documents.”

4.2.6 Unsolicited Faxes

Except as provided in this section, Affiliates may not use or transmit unsolicited faxes in connec-

tion with their Tecademics opportunity. The term "unsolicited faxes" means the transmission via

telephone facsimile or computer of any material or information advertising or promoting Tec-

ademics, its products, its Compensation Program or any other aspect of the company which is

transmitted to any person, except that these terms do not include a fax: (a) to any person with

that person's prior express invitation or permission; or (b) to any person with whom the Affiliate

has an established opportunity or personal relationship. The term "established opportunity or

personal relationship" means a prior or existing relationship formed by a voluntary two-way

communication between an Affiliate and a person on the basis of: (a) an inquiry, application,

purchase or transaction by the person regarding products offered by such Affiliates; or (b) a per-

sonal or familial relationship, which relationship has not been previously terminated by either

party.

4.2.7 Telephone Directory Listings

Affiliates may list themselves as an “Affiliate” in the white or yellow pages of the telephone di-

rectory, or with online directories, under their own name. No Affiliate may place telephone or

online directory display ads using Tecademics’ name or logo, except as described below. Affili-

ates may not answer the telephone by saying “Tecademics”, “Tecademics Incorporated”, or in

any other manner that would lead the caller to believe that he or she has reached the corporate

offices of Tecademics. If an Affiliate wishes to post his/her name in a telephone or online direc-

tory, it must be listed in the following format:

Affiliate’s Name

Tecademics LLC

Independent Consultant


4.2.8 Television and Radio Advertising

Affiliates may not advertise on television and radio except with Tecademics’ express written ap-

proval.

4.2.9 Advertised Prices

Affiliates may not create their own marketing or advertising material offering any Tecademics

products at a price other than the official Tecademics currently advertised price.

4.3 ONLINE CONDUCT

4.3.1 Affil iate Web Sites

Affiliates may be provided with a replicated website by Tecademics, from which they can take

orders, enroll new Affiliates, and manage their Tecademics opportunity. Affiliates may not cre-

ate their own websites to promote their Tecademics opportunity or sell Tecademics products.

4.3.2 Tecademics Replicated Websites

Affiliates may receive a Tecademics Replicated Website subscription to facilitate the online buy-

ing experience for their Customers and enrollments for Affiliate prospects.

Affiliates may not alter the branding, artwork, look, or feel of their Replicated Website, except

as specifically allowed by Tecademics and may not use their Replicated Website to promote,

market or sell non-Tecademics products, services, or business opportunities. Except as specifi-

cally allowed by Tecademics, you may not alter the look (placement, sizing etc.) or functionality

of the following:

The Tecademics Affiliate Logo

Your Name

Tecademics Corporate Website Redirect Button

Artwork, logos, or graphics

Original text

Because Replicated Websites reside on the Tecademics.com domain, Tecademics reserves the

right to receive analytics and information regarding the usage of your website.

By default, your Tecademics Replicated Website URL is assigned a uniquely identifiable website

name, which cannot:

Be confused with other portions of the Tecademics corporate website;

Confuse a reasonable person into thinking they have landed on a Tecademics corporate page; or


Contain any discourteous, misleading, or off-color words or phrases that may damage Tecademics’ image.

Refer to the Virtual Office for additional information regarding Website Terms and Conditions.

4.3.3 Team Websites

You may use team websites for the purposes of connecting, communicating, training, education

and sharing best practices among team members. Because these sites may contain sensitive and

Company-specific information, these team websites may only be shared with members of your

organization.

4.3.4 Domain Names, Email Addresses and Online Aliases -Intellectual Property

You are not allowed to use or register Tecademics or any of Tecademics’ trademarks, product

names, or any derivatives, for any Internet domain name, email address, or online aliases. Addi-

tionally, you cannot use or register domain names, email addresses, and/or online aliases that

could cause confusion, or be misleading or deceptive, in that they may cause individuals to be-

lieve or assume the communication is from or is the property of Tecademics.

4.3.5 Online Classifieds

You may not use online classifieds (including Craigslist) to list, sell, or retail specific Tecademics

products or product bundles. You may use online classifieds (including Craigslist) for prospect-

ing, recruiting, sponsoring, and informing the public about the Tecademics opportunity, pro-

vided Tecademics-approved templates/images are used. These templates will identify you as an

Independent Tecademics Affiliate. If a link or URL is provided, it must link to your Replicated

Website or your Registered External Website.

4.3.6 Banner Advertising

You may place banner advertisements on a website provided you use Tecademics-approved

templates and images. All banner advertisements must link to your Replicated Website. Affili-

ates may not use blind ads (ads that do not disclose the identity of the Company) or web pages

that make product or income claims that are ultimately associated with Tecademics products or

the Tecademics opportunity.

4.3.7 Spam Linking

Spam linking is defined as multiple consecutive submissions of the same or similar content into

blogs, wikis, guest books, websites or other publicly accessible online discussion boards or fo-

rums and is not allowed. This includes blog spamming, blog comment spamming, and spam-dex-

ing. Any comments you make on blogs, forums, guest books, etc., must be unique, informative

and relevant.


4.3.8 Digital Media Submission (YouTube, iTunes, Snapchat, etc.)

Affiliates may upload, submit or publish Tecademics-related video, audio or photo content that

they develop and create so long as it aligns with Tecademics’ values, contributes to the Tec-

ademics community greater good, and is in compliance with Tecademics’ Policies and Proce-

dures. All submissions must clearly identify you as an Independent Tecademics Affiliate in the

content itself and in the content description tag, must comply with all copyright/legal require-

ments, and must state that you are solely responsible for the content. Affiliates may not upload,

submit, or publish any content (video, audio, presentations, or any computer files) received

from Tecademics or captured at official Tecademics events or in buildings owned or operated by

Tecademics without prior written permission.

4.3.9 Sponsored Links / Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Ads

Sponsored links or pay-per-click (PPC) ads are acceptable. The destination URL must be to either

the sponsoring Affiliate’s Replicated Website or to the sponsoring Affiliate’s Registered External

Website. The display URL must also be to either the sponsoring Affiliate’s Replicated Website or

to your Registered External Website, and must not contain any URL that could lead the user to

believe they are being directed to a Tecademics Corporate site, or be inappropriate or mislead-

ing in any way.

4.3.10 Domain Names and Email Addresses

Subject to the terms as set forth in the Affiliate Agreement or these Policies and Procedures, Af-

filiates may not use or attempt to register any of Tecademics’ trade names, trademarks, service

names, service marks, product names, the Company’s name, or any derivative of the foregoing,

for any Internet domain name, email address, or social media name or address.

4.3.11 Social Media

In addition to meeting all other requirements specified in these Policies and Procedures, should

an Affiliate utilize any form of social media, including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter,

Linkedin, YouTube, or Pinterest, the Affiliate agrees to each of the following:

No product sales or enrollments may occur on any social media site. To generate activ-ity, a social media site must link only to the Affiliate’s Tecademics Replicated Website.

It is each Affiliate’s responsibility to follow the social media site’s terms of use. If the so-cial media site does not allow its site to be used for commercial activity, you must abide by the site’s terms of use.

Any social media site that is directly or indirectly operated or controlled by an Affiliate that is used to discuss or promote Tecademics’ products or the Tecademics opportunity may not link to any website, social media site, or site of any other nature, other than the Affiliate’s Tecademics replicated website.


During the term of this Agreement and for a period of 12 calendar months thereafter, an Affiliate may not use any social media site on which they discuss or promote, or have discussed or promoted, the Tecademics opportunity or Tecademics’ products to directly or indirectly solicit Tecademics Affiliates for another direct selling or network marketing program (collectively, “direct selling”). In furtherance of this provision, an Affiliate shall not take any action that may reasonably be foreseen to result in drawing an inquiry from other Affiliates relating to the Affiliate’s other direct selling opportunity activities. Violation of this provision shall constitute a violation of the non-solicitation provision in Section 4.11 below.

An Affiliate may post or “pin” photographs of Tecademics products on a social media site, but only photos that are provided by Tecademics and downloaded from the Affiliate’s Back-Office may be used.

If an Affiliate creates an opportunity profile page on any social media site that promotes or re-

lates to Tecademics, its products, or opportunity, the opportunity profile page must relate exclu-

sively to the Affiliate’s Tecademics opportunity and Tecademics products. If the Affiliate’s Tec-

ademics opportunity is cancelled for any reason or if the Affiliate becomes inactive, the Affiliate

must deactivate the opportunity profile page.

4.4 OPPORTUNITY ENTITIES

A corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or trust (collectively referred to in this sec-

tion as an “Opportunity Entity”) may apply to be a Tecademics Affiliate by submitting an Affiliate

Application and Agreement along with a properly completed Opportunity Entity Application and

Agreement and a properly completed IRS form W-9. The Opportunity Entity, as well as all share-

holders, members, managers, partners, trustees, or other parties with any ownership interest in,

or management responsibilities for, the Opportunity Entity (collectively “Affiliated Parties”) are

individually, jointly and severally liable for any indebtedness to Tecademics, compliance with the

Tecademics Policies and Procedures, the Tecademics Affiliate Agreement, and other obligations

to Tecademics.

To prevent the circumvention of Sections 4.25 (regarding transfers and assignments of a Tec-

ademics opportunity) and 4.5 (regarding Sponsorship Changes), if any Affiliated Party wants to

terminate his or her relationship with the Opportunity Entity or Tecademics, the Affiliated Party

must terminate his or her affiliation with the Opportunity Entity, notify Tecademics in writing

that he or she has terminated his/her affiliation with the Opportunity Entity, and must comply

with the provisions of Section 4.25. In addition, the Affiliated Party foregoing their interest in

the Opportunity Entity may not participate in any other Tecademics opportunity for six consecu-

tive calendar months in accordance with Section 4.5.3. If the Opportunity Entity wishes to bring

on any new Affiliated Party, it must adhere to the requirements of Section 4.25.

The modifications permitted within the scope of this paragraph do not include a change of spon-

sorship. Changes of sponsorship are addressed in Section 4.5, below. There is a processing fee

for each change requested, which must be included with the written request and the completed


Affiliate Application and Agreement. Tecademics may, at its sole discretion, require notarized

documents before implementing any changes to a Tecademics opportunity. Please allow thirty

(30) days after the receipt of the request by Tecademics for processing to be completed.

4.4.1 Changes to an Opportunity Entity

Each Affiliate must immediately notify Tecademics of all changes to type of opportunity entity (if

any) they utilize in operating their opportunities and the addition or removal of opportunity Af-

filiated Parties.

4.5 CHANGE OF SPONSOR

Tecademics strongly discourages changes in sponsorship. Accordingly, the transfer of a Tec-

ademics opportunity from one sponsor to another is rarely permitted. Requests for change of

sponsorship must be submitted in writing to the Affiliate Services Department, and must include

the reason for the transfer.

4.5.1 Misplacement

In cases in which the new Affiliate is sponsored by someone other than the individual he or she

was led to believe would be his or her Sponsor, an Affiliate may request that he or she be trans-

ferred to another organization with his or her entire downline intact. Requests for transfer un-

der this policy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and must be made within three days

from the date of enrollment. The Affiliate requesting the change has the burden of proving that

he or she was placed beneath the wrong sponsor. It is up to Tecademics’ sole discretion as to

whether the requested change will be implemented.

4.5.2 Company Approval

The Affiliate seeking to transfer must submit a properly completed and fully executed Sponsor-

ship Transfer Form, which requires written Company approval. All Affiliate signatures must be

notarized. The Affiliate who requests the transfer must submit a fee for administrative charges

and data processing. If the transferring Affiliate also wants to move any of the Affiliates in his or

her downline, each downline Affiliate must also obtain a properly completed Sponsorship Trans-

fer Form and return it to Tecademics with the change fee (i.e., the transferring Affiliate and each

Affiliate in his or her downline multiplied by $50.00 is the cost to move a Tecademics oppor-

tunity.) Downline Affiliates will not be moved with the transferring Affiliate unless all of the re-

quirements of this paragraph are met. Transferring Affiliates must allow thirty (30) days after

the receipt of the Sponsorship Transfer Forms by Tecademics for processing and verifying

change requests. Tecademics will consider waiving the six month waiting period under excep-

tional circumstances. Such requests for waiver must be submitted to Tecademics in writing.

4.5.3 Cancellation and Re-application


An Affiliate may legitimately change organizations by voluntarily canceling his or her Tecademics

Affiliate Agreement and remaining inactive (i.e., no purchases of Tecademics products for resale;

no sales of Tecademics product; no sponsoring; no attendance at any Tecademics functions; no

participation in any other form of Affiliate activity, or operation of any other Tecademics oppor-

tunity; and no income from the Tecademics opportunity for six (6) full calendar months. Follow-

ing the six-month period of inactivity, the former Affiliate may reapply under a new sponsor;

however, the former Affiliate’s downline will remain in their original line of sponsorship.

4.6 WAIVER OF CLAIMS

In cases in which the appropriate sponsorship change procedures have not been followed, and a

downline organization has been developed in the second opportunity developed by an Affiliate,

Tecademics reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine the final disposition of the down-

line organization. Resolving conflicts over the proper placement of a downline that has devel-

oped under an organization that has improperly switched sponsors is often extremely difficult.

Therefore, Affiliates WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST Tecademics, ITS OFFICERS, DIREC-

TORS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS THAT RELATE TO OR ARISE FROM Tecademics’ DE-

CISION REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF ANY DOWNLINE ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS

BELOW AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS IMPROPERLY CHANGED LINES OF SPONSORSHIP.

4.7 UNAUTHORIZED CLAIMS AND ACTIONS

4.7.1 Indemnification

An Affiliate is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal and written statements made regarding Tecademics products, services, and the Compensation Program that are not expressly contained in official Tecademics materials. This includes statements and representations made through all sources of communication media, whether person-to-person, in meetings, online, through Social Media, in print, or any other means of communication. Affiliates agree to indemnify and defend Tecademics and Tecademics’ directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents, and hold them harmless from all liability including judgments, civil penalties, refunds, attorney fees, court costs, or lost opportunity incurred, penalties, damages, settlements, professional fees, or other expenses or liabilities of every kind and character arising out of or relating to any and all claims, liens, demands, obligations, actions, proceedings, or causes of action of every kind and charac-ter in connection with or arising directly or indirectly out of this Agreement or the performance hereof by Tecademics as a result of the Affiliates unauthorized representations or actions. This provision shall survive the termination of the Affiliate’s Agreement. Affiliate further agrees to investigate, handle, respond to, and defend any claims, at his or her sole expense and agrees to bear all other costs and expenses related thereto, even if claims as-serted are baseless, groundless, false, or fraudulent. This Agreement is in effect beginning with the date the Affiliate Agreement is executed by the Parties and survives the termination of the Agreement.


4.7.2 Compensation Program Claims

When presenting or discussing the Tecademics Compensation Program, you must make it clear

to prospects that financial success with Tecademics requires commitment, effort, and sales skill.

Conversely, you must never represent that one can be successful without diligently applying

oneself. Examples of misrepresentations in this area include the use of phrases verbally or in

writing such as:

It’s a turnkey system;

The system will do the work for you;

Just get in and your downline will build through spillover;

Just join and I’ll build your downline for you;

The company does all the work for you;

You don’t have to sell anything; or

All you have to do is pay your fees every month.

The above are just examples of improper representations about the Compensation Program. It

is important that you do not make these or any other representations that could lead a prospect

to believe that they can be successful as a Tecademics Affiliate without commitment, effort, and

sales skill.

4.7.3 Income Claims

An Affiliate, when presenting or discussing the Tecademics opportunity or Compensation Pro-

gram to a prospective Affiliate, may not make income projections, income claims, or disclose his

or her Tecademics income (including the showing of checks, copies of checks, Tecademics state-

ments, or Tecademics records) unless, at the time the presentation is made, the Affiliate pro-

vides a current copy of the Tecademics Income Disclosure Statement (IDS) to the person(s) to

whom he or she is making the presentation.

4.7.4 Income and Earnings Disclosure S tatement

Tecademics’ corporate ethics compel us to do not merely what is legally required, but rather, to

conduct the absolute best opportunity practices. To this end, we have developed the Tecadem-

ics Income and Earnings Disclosure Statement (“IDES”). The Tecademics is designed to convey

truthful, timely, and comprehensive information regarding the income that Tecademics Affili-

ates earn. In order to accomplish this objective, a copy of the IDS must be presented to all pro-

spective Affiliates before any discussion regarding income or earnings. The failure to comply

with this policy constitutes a significant and material breach of the Tecademics INDEPENDENT

CONTRACTOR Agreement and will be grounds for disciplinary sanctions, including termination.


A copy of the IDES (available in the Virtual Office) must be presented to any prospective Affiliate

(someone who is not a party to a current Tecademics Affiliate Agreement) anytime the Compen-

sation Program is presented or discussed, or any type of income claim or earnings representa-

tion is stated.

The terms “income claim” and “earnings representation” (collectively “income claim”) include:

(1) personal statements of actual earnings, (2) speculative statements of projected personal

earnings, (3) subjective statements of earnings ranges, (4) income testimonials, (5) lifestyle

claims, and (6) hypothetical claims.

A lifestyle income claim typically includes statements (or pictures) involving large

homes, luxury cars, exotic vacations, or other items suggesting or implying wealth. It

also consist of references to the achievement of one's dreams or having everything one

always wanted, and are phrased in terms of “opportunity” or “possibility” or “chance.”

Claims such as “My Tecademics income exceeded my salary after six months in the op-

portunity,” or “Our Tecademics opportunity has allowed my wife to come home and be

a full-time mom” also fall within the purview of “lifestyle” claims.

A hypothetical income claim exists when you attempt to explain the operation of the

compensation Program through the use of a hypothetical example. Certain assumptions

are made regarding some or all of the following: (1) number of personally-enrolled Cus-

tomers and Affiliates; (2) number of downline Customers and Affiliates; (3) average

sales/purchase volume/sales volume per Customer and Affiliate; and (4) total organiza-

tional volume. Applying these assumptions through the Compensation Program yields

income figures which constitute hypothetical income claims.

In any non-public meeting (e.g., a home meeting, one-on-one, regardless of venue) with

a prospective Affiliate or Affiliates in which the Compensation Program is discussed or

any type of income claim is made, you must provide the prospect(s) with a copy of the

IDES. In any meeting that is open to the public in which the Compensation Program is

discussed or any type of income claim is made, you must provide every prospective Affil-

iate with a copy of the IDES.

Affiliates who develop sales aids and tools in which the Compensation Program or income claims

are present must incorporate the IDES into each sales aid or tool prior to submission to the

Company for review.

4.8 COMMERCIAL OUTLETS

Affiliates may not sell Tecademics products from a commercial outlet, nor may Affiliates display

or sell Tecademics products or literature in any retail or service establishment. Online auction

and sales facilitation websites, including, but not limited to, eBay and Craig’s List constitute

Commercial Outlets, and may not be used to sell Tecademics products.


4.9 TRADE SHOWS, EXPOSITIONS AND OTHER SALES FORUMS

Affiliates may display or sell Tecademics products at trade shows and professional expositions.

Before submitting a deposit to the event promoter, Affiliates must contact the Tecademics Ser-

vices department in writing for conditional approval, as Tecademics’ policy is to authorize only

one Tecademics opportunity per event. Final approval will be granted to the first Affiliate who

submits an official advertisement of the event, a copy of the contract signed by both the Affili-

ate and the event official, and a receipt indicating that a deposit for the booth has been paid.

Approval is given only for the event specified. Any requests to participate in future events must

again be submitted to the Marketing Department. Tecademics further reserves the right to re-

fuse authorization to participate at any function which it does not deem a suitable forum for the

promotion of its products, services, or the Tecademics opportunity. Approval will not be given

for swap meets, garage sales, flea markets, or farmer’s markets as these events are not condu-

cive to the professional image Tecademics wishes to portray.

4.10 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

4.10.1 Cross-Recruiting

The term “Recruit” means the actual or attempted sponsorship, solicitations, enrollment, en-

couragement, or effort to influence in any other way, either directly, indirectly, or through a

third party, another Tecademics Affiliate or Customer to enroll or participate in another network

marketing or direct sales opportunity.

Cross-recruiting of any individual currently on a Tecademics roster of any type, for any reason, is

prohibited and subject to immediate loss of benefits, Tecademics, and downline, up to and in-

cluding termination and legal action. The Uniform Trade Secrets Act prohibits this practice, as do

common law prohibitions against the misappropriation of trade secrets.

This happens when a personal recruit recruits a person who is otherwise unknown per-sonally by the recruiter. Distributors may not solicit non-personal recruits.

An up-line distributor solicits the downline distributor to change companies (or vice versa).

Tecademics Affiliates are free to participate in other multilevel or network marketing oppor-

tunity ventures or marketing opportunities (collectively “network marketing”). However, during

the term of this Agreement, Affiliates may not directly or indirectly cross-recruit other Tecadem-

ics Affiliates or Customers for any other network marketing opportunity.

Following the cancellation of an Affiliate’s Independent Affiliate Agreement, and for a period of

six calendar months thereafter, with the exception of an Affiliate who is personally sponsored by

the former Affiliates, a former Affiliate may not cross-recruit any Tecademics Affiliate or Cus-

tomer for another network marketing opportunity.


Affiliates and the Company recognize that because network marketing is conducted through

networks of Affiliates dispersed across the United States and internationally, and opportunity is

commonly conducted via the internet and telephone, an effort to narrowly limit the geographic

scope of this non-solicitation provision would render it wholly ineffective. Therefore, Affiliates

and Tecademics agree that this non-solicitation provision shall apply nationwide and to all inter-

national markets in which Affiliates are located. This provision shall survive the termination or

expiration of the Affiliate Agreement.

4.10.2 Affiliate Participation in Other Network Marketing Programs

If an Affiliate is engaged in other non-Tecademics direct selling programs, it is the responsibility

of the Affiliate to ensure that his or her Tecademics opportunity is operated entirely separate

and apart from any other program. To this end, the following must be adhered to:

Affiliates must not sell, or attempt to sell, any competing non-Tecademics programs, products or services to Tecademics Customers or Affiliates. Any program, product, or services in the same generic categories as Tecademics products or services is deemed to be competing, regardless of differences in cost, quality, or other distinguishing factors.

Affiliates shall not display Tecademics promotional material, sales aids, products, or ser-vices with or in the same location as any non-Tecademics promotional material or sales aids, products, or services.

Affiliates shall not offer the Tecademics opportunity, products, or services to prospec-tive or existing Customers or Affiliates in conjunction with any non-Tecademics program, opportunity, product, or service.

Affiliates may not offer any non-Tecademics opportunity, products, services, or oppor-tunity at any Tecademics-related meeting, seminar, convention, webinar, teleconfer-ence, or other function.

4.10.3 Confidential Information – Data Privacy

“Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, Downline Genealogy Reports, the

identities of Tecademics Customers and Affiliates, Tecademics information of Tecademics Cus-

tomers and Affiliates, Affiliate’s personal and group sales volumes, and Affiliate rank and/or

achievement levels. Confidential Information is, or may be available, to Affiliates in their respec-

tive back-offices. Affiliate access to such Confidential Information is password protected, confi-

dential and constitutes proprietary information and opportunity trade secrets belonging to Tec-

ademics.

An expanded version of the Privacy Policy adopted by Tecademics is available in the VO.

Confidential Information is provided to Affiliates in strictest confidence and is made available to

Affiliates for the sole purpose of assisting Affiliates in working with their respective downline or-

ganizations in the development of their Tecademics opportunity. Affiliates may not use the re-

ports for any purpose other than for developing their Tecademics opportunity. Where an Affili-

ate participates in other multi-level marketing ventures, he/she is not eligible to have access to


Downline Genealogy Reports. Affiliates should use the Confidential Information to assist, moti-

vate, and train their downline Affiliates. The Affiliate and Tecademics agree that, but for this

agreement of confidentiality and nondisclosure, Tecademics would not provide Confidential In-

formation to the Affiliates.

To protect the Confidential Information, Affiliates shall not, on their own behalf, or on behalf of

any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity:

Directly or indirectly disclose any Confidential Information to any third party;

Directly or indirectly disclose the password or other access code to his or her back-of-

fice;

Use any Confidential Information to compete with Tecademics or for any purpose other

than promoting his or her Tecademics opportunity;

Recruit or solicit any Affiliate or Customer of Tecademics listed on any report or in the

Affiliate’s back-office, or in any manner attempt to influence or induce any Affiliate or

Preferred Customer of Tecademics to alter their opportunity relationship with Tecadem-

ics; or

Use or disclose to any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity any

Confidential Information.

The obligation not to disclose Confidential Information shall survive cancellation or termination

of the Agreement and shall remain effective and binding irrespective of whether an Affiliate’s

Agreement has been terminated, or whether the Affiliate is or is not otherwise affiliated with

the Company.

4.11 TARGETING OTHER DIRECT SELLERS

Tecademics does not condone Affiliates specifically or consciously targeting the sales force of

another direct sales company to sell Tecademics products or to become Affiliates for Tecadem-

ics, nor does Tecademics condone Affiliates solicitation or enticement of members of the sales

force of another direct sales company to violate the terms of their contract with another other

company.

Should Affiliates engage in such activity, they bear the risk of being sued by the other direct

sales company. If any lawsuit, cause of action, arbitration, or mediation is brought against an Af-

filiate alleging that he or she engaged in inappropriate recruiting activity of its sales force or Cus-

tomers, Tecademics will expect the Affiliate to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tecadem-

ics in accordance with the terms of the Affiliate Agreement. Tecademics not pay any of the Affili-

ate’s defense costs or legal fees, nor will Tecademics indemnify the Affiliate for any judgment,

award, or settlement.

4.12 ERRORS OR QUESTIONS


If an Affiliate has questions about or believes that any errors have been made regarding com-

missions, bonuses, genealogy lists, or charges, the Affiliate must notify Tecademics in writing

within 60 days of the date of the purported error or incident in question, together with support-

ing documentation supporting the allegation. Tecademics will not be responsible for any errors,

omissions or problems not reported to the Company within 60 days.

4.13 GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL OR ENDORSEMENT

Federal and state regulatory agencies and officials do not approve or endorse any direct selling

or network marketing companies or programs. Therefore, Affiliates shall not represent or imply

that Tecademics or its Compensation Program have been "approved," "endorsed," or otherwise

sanctioned by any government agency.

4.14 HOLDING APPLICATIONS OR ORDERS

Affiliates must not manipulate enrollments of new applicants and purchases of products. All Af-

filiate Applications and Agreements and product orders must be sent to Tecademics within 48

hours from the time they are signed by an Affiliate or placed by a Customer, respectively.

4.15 TECADEMICS TAXES

Each Affiliate is responsible for paying any and all local, state/provincial, and federal Tecademics

taxes as applicable and due. Tecademics cannot provide you with any tax advice and nothing on

a Tecademics website or combined in this Guide is to be construed as legal advice. Please con-

sult your own professional advisors.

4.16 AFFILIATE STATUS

Affiliates are Independent Contractors. The agreement between Tecademics and its Affiliates

does not create an employer/employee relationship, agency, partnership, or joint venture be-

tween the Company and the Affiliates. Affiliates shall not be treated as employees for their ser-

vices or for Federal or State tax purposes. All Affiliates are responsible for paying any and all lo-

cal State, or provincial taxes of any kind or nature when due. Additionally, the Affiliate has no

authority (expressed or implied) to bind the Company to any obligation. Each Affiliate shall es-

tablish his or her own goals, hours, and methods of sale, so long as he or she complies with the

terms of the Affiliate Agreement, these Policies and Procedures, and applicable laws and ordi-

nances.

4.17 INSURANCE

You may wish to arrange insurance coverage for your opportunity. Generally, your homeowner’s

insurance policy does not cover opportunity-related injuries or the theft of or damage to inven-


tory or opportunity equipment. Contact your insurance agent to make certain in that your op-

portunity property is protected. This can often be accomplished with a simple “Opportunity Pur-

suit” endorsement attached to your present home owner’s policy.

4.18 INTERNATIONAL MARKETING

Affiliates are authorized to sell Tecademics products and services and enroll Customers or Affili-

ates only in the countries in which Tecademics is authorized to conduct opportunity, as an-

nounced in official Company literature. Tecademics products or sales aids may not be shipped

into or sold in any foreign country. In addition, no Affiliate may, in any unauthorized country: (a)

conduct sales, enrollment, or training meetings; (b) enroll or attempt to enroll potential Custom-

ers or Affiliates; or (c) conduct any other activity for the purpose of selling Tecademics products,

establishing a downline, or promoting the Tecademics opportunity.

4.19 EXCESS INVENTORY AND BONUS BUYING

Affiliates must never purchase more products than they can reasonably use or sell to retail Cus-

tomers in a month and must not influence or attempt to influence any other Affiliate to buy

more products than they can reasonably use or sell to retail Customers in a month. In addition,

bonus buying is strictly prohibited. Bonus buying includes any mechanism or artifice to qualify

for rank advancement, incentives, prizes, commissions, or bonuses that is not driven by bona

fide product or service purchases by end-user consumers. Bonus buying includes, but is not lim-

ited to, purchasing products through a straw man or other artifice.

4.20 ADHERENCE TO LAWS AND ORDINANCES

Affiliates shall continuously comply with any and all federal, state, and local laws, regulations,

and ordinances in the conduct of their opportunities. Many cities and counties have laws regu-

lating certain home-based opportunities. States have legislation related to direct sales market-

ing. Affiliates must obey those laws that do apply to them. If a city or county official tells an Affil-

iate that a local ordinance applies to him or her, the Affiliate shall be cooperative, and immedi-

ately send a copy of the ordinance to the Compliance Department of Tecademics.

4.21 ONE TECADEMICS AFFILIATE ACCOUNT PER PERSON

As a matter of policy, an Affiliate may operate, have an ownership interest in, or receive com-

mission from only one Tecademics Affiliate account, whether as an individual, sole proprietor-

ship, partner, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary. Any exceptions to this policy must be ap-

proved in writing by the Compliance Department of Tecademics.

To maintain the integrity of the Tecademics Affiliate program, individuals of the same House-

hold may not enter into or have an interest in more than one Tecademics Affiliate account. A

“Household” is defined as spouses and dependent children living at or doing business at the


same address. Spouses, regardless of whether one or both are signatories to the Affiliate Appli-

cation and Agreement, may not own or operate any other Tecademics Affiliate account, either

individually or jointly, nor may they participate directly or indirectly (as a shareholder, partner,

trustee, or trust beneficiary, or have any other legal or equitable ownership) in the ownership or

management of another Tecademics opportunity in any form.

Entity applicants must submit applications by a person authorized to bind the applying entity. A

complete list of all principals, officers and shareholders or those with beneficial interest shall be

provided upon request of the Company.

No individual or business entity may have any interest in, directly or indirectly, management

control of, or be a part of more than one $100,000 and one $1,000,000 Matching Millions Bonus

Compensation payout.

An exception to the one Affiliate per household rule will be considered on a case-by-case basis if

two Affiliates marry or in cases of an Affiliate receiving an interest in another Affiliate account

through inheritance. Requests for exceptions to policy must be submitted in writing to the Com-

pliance Department.

4.22 ACTIONS OF HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS OR AFFILIATED PARTIES

If any member of an Affiliate’s immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed

by the Affiliate, would violate any provision of the Agreement, such activity will be deemed a vi-

olation by the Affiliate, and Tecademics may take disciplinary action pursuant to statement of

Policies against the Affiliate.

Similarly, if any individual associated in any way with a corporation, partnership, LLC, trust or

other entity (collectively “Opportunity Entity”) violates the Agreement, such action(s) will be

deemed a violation by the Opportunity Entity, and Tecademics may take disciplinary action

against the Opportunity Entity.

Likewise, if an Affiliate enrolls in Tecademics as an Opportunity Entity, each Affiliated Party of

the Opportunity Entity shall be personally and individually bound to, and must comply with, the

terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Policy and Procedure Guide.

4.23 REQUESTS FOR RECORDS

Any request from an Affiliate for copies of invoices, applications, downline activity reports, or

other records will require a fee of $1.00 per page per copy. This fee covers the expense of mail-

ing and time required to research files and make copies of the records.

4.24 SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF TECADEMICS OPPORTUNITY


Although a Tecademics opportunity is a privately owned and independently operated oppor-

tunity, the sale, transfer or assignment of a Tecademics opportunity, and the sale, transfer, or

assignment of an interest in an Opportunity Entity that owns or operates a Tecademics oppor-

tunity, is subject to certain limitations. If an Affiliate wishes to sell his or her Tecademics oppor-

tunity, or interest in an Opportunity Entity that owns or operates a Tecademics opportunity, the

following criteria must be met:

The selling Affiliate must offer Tecademics the right of first refusal to purchase the op-portunity on the same terms as agreed upon with a third-party buyer. Tecademics shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the written offer from the seller to ex-ercise its right of first refusal.

The buyer or transferee must become a qualified Tecademics Affiliate. If the buyer is an active Tecademics Affiliate, he or she must first terminate his or her Tecademics oppor-tunity and wait six calendar months before acquiring any interest in a different Tec-ademics opportunity.

Before the sale, transfer or assignment can be finalized and approved by Tecademics, any debt obligations the selling party has with Tecademics must be satisfied.

The selling party must be in good standing and not in violation of any of the terms of the Agreement in order to be eligible to sell, transfer, or assign a Tecademics opportunity.

Prior to selling an independent Tecademics opportunity or Opportunity Entity interest, the sell-

ing Affiliate must notify Tecademics’ Compliance Department in writing and advise it of his or

her intent to sell his or her Tecademics opportunity or Opportunity Entity interest. The selling

Affiliate must also receive written approval from the Compliance Department before proceeding

with the sale. No changes in line of sponsorship can result from the sale or transfer of a Tec-

ademics opportunity.

4.25 SEPARATION OF A TECADEMICS OPPORTUNITY

Tecademics Affiliates sometimes operate their Tecademics opportunities as husband-wife part-

nerships, regular partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations, trusts, or other Oppor-

tunity Entities. At such time as a marriage may end in divorce, or a corporation, LLC, partnership,

trust, or other Opportunity Entity may dissolve, arrangements must be made to assure that any

separation or division of the opportunity is accomplished so as not to adversely affect the inter-

ests and income of other opportunities up or down the line of sponsorship.

During the divorce or entity dissolution process, the parties must adopt one of the following

methods of operation:

One of the parties may, with consent of the other(s), operate the Tecademics oppor-tunity pursuant to an assignment in writing whereby the relinquishing spouse, share-holders, partners, or trustees authorize Tecademics to deal directly and solely with the other spouse or non-relinquishing shareholder, partner, or trustee.


The parties may continue to operate the Tecademics opportunity jointly on an “oppor-tunity-as-usual” basis, whereupon all compensation paid by Tecademics will be paid ac-cording to the status quo as it existed prior to the divorce filing or dissolution proceed-ings. This is the default procedure if the parties do not agree on the format set forth above.

Under no circumstances will the downline of divorcing spouses or a dissolving opportunity entity

be divided. Similarly, under no circumstances will Tecademics split commission and bonus

checks between divorcing spouses or members of dissolving entities. Tecademics will recognize

only one Downline Organization and will issue only one commission check per Tecademics op-

portunity per commission cycle. Commission checks shall always be issued to the same individ-

ual or entity.

If a former spouse has completely relinquished all rights in the original Tecademics opportunity

pursuant to a divorce, he or she is thereafter free to enroll under any sponsor of his or her

choosing without waiting six calendar months. In the case of opportunity entity dissolutions, the

former partner, shareholder, member, or other entity affiliate who retains no interest in the op-

portunity must wait six calendar months from the date of the final dissolution before re-enrol-

ling as an Affiliate. In either case, the former spouse or opportunity affiliate shall have no rights

to any Affiliates in their former organization or to any former retail Customer. They must de-

velop the new opportunity in the same manner as would any other new Affiliate.

4.26 SPONSORING ONLINE

When sponsoring a new Affiliate through the online enrollment process, the sponsor may assist

the new applicant in filling out the enrollment materials. However, the applicant must person-

ally review and agree to the online Application and Agreement, Tecademics Policies and Proce-

dures, and the Tecademics Compensation Program. The sponsor may not fill out the online ap-

plication and agreement on behalf of the applicant or agree to these materials on behalf of the

applicant.

4.27 SUCCESSION

Upon the death or INCAPACITATION of an Affiliate, his or her opportunity may be passed to his

or her heirs. Appropriate legal DOCUMENTATION must be submitted to the Company to ensure

the transfer is proper. Accordingly, an Affiliate should consult an attorney to assist him or her in

the preparation of a will or other testamentary instrument. Whenever a Tecademics oppor-

tunity is transferred by a will or other testamentary process, the beneficiary acquires the right to

collect all bonuses and commissions of the deceased Affiliate’s downline, provided the following

qualifications are met. The successor(s) must:

Execute an Affiliate Agreement;

Comply with terms and provisions of the Agreement;

Meet all of the qualifications for the deceased Affiliate’s STATUS; and


The devisee must provide Tecademics with an “address of record.” If the opportunity is bequeathed to joint devisees, they must form an Opportunity Entity and ac-quire a Federal Taxpayer Identification Number. Tecademics will issue all bonus and commission payments and one 1099 to the Opportunity Entity.

4.27.1 Transfer Upon Death of an Affil iate

To affect a Testamentary transfer of a Tecademics opportunity, the executor of the estate must

provide the following to Tecademics:

an original death certificate;

certified letters testamentary or a letter of administration appointing an executor; and

written instructions from the authorized executor to Tecademics specifying to whom the opportunity and income should be transferred.

4.27.2 Transfer Upon Incapacitation of an Affiliate

To effectuate a transfer of a Tecademics opportunity because of incapacity, the successor must

provide the following to Tecademics:

a notarized copy of an appointment as trustee,

a notarized copy of the trust document or other DOCUMENTATION establishing the trustee’s right to administer the Tecademics opportunity, and

a completed Affiliate Agreement executed by the trustee.

4.28 TELEMARKETING TECHNIQUES

The Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission each have laws

that restrict telemarketing practices. Both federal agencies (as well as a number of states) have

“do not call” regulations as part of their telemarketing laws. Although Tecademics does not con-

sider Affiliates to be “telemarketers” in the traditional sense of the word, these government reg-

ulations broadly define the term “telemarketer” and “telemarketing” so that your inadvertent

action of calling someone whose telephone number is listed on the federal “do not call” registry

could cause you to violate the law. Moreover, these regulations must not be taken lightly, as

they carry significant penalties.

Therefore, Affiliates must not engage in telemarketing, accidental or otherwise in the operation

of their Tecademics opportunities.

The term “telemarketing” means the placing of one or more telephone calls to an individual or entity to induce the purchase of a Tecademics product or service, or to recruit them for the Tec-ademics opportunity. “Cold calls" made to prospective Customers or Affiliates that promote ei-ther Tecademics products or services or the Tecademics opportunity constitute telemarketing and are prohibited. However, a telephone call(s) placed to a prospective Customer or Affiliate (a "prospect") is permissible under the following situations:


If the Affiliate has an established an opportunity relationship with the prospect. An “es-tablished opportunity relationship” is a relationship between an Affiliate and a pro-spect based on the prospect’s purchase, rental or lease of goods or services from the Af-filiate, or a financial transaction between the prospect and the Affiliate, within the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding the date of a telephone call to induce the prospect's purchase of a product or service.

The prospect’s personal inquiry or application regarding a product or service offered by the Affiliate occurs within the three (3) months immediately preceding the date of such a call.

If the Affiliate receives written and signed permission from the prospect authorizing the Affiliate to call. The authorization must specify the telephone number(s) which the Affili-ate is authorized to call.

You may call family members, personal friends, and acquaintances. An “acquaintance” is someone with whom you have at least a recent first-hand relationship within the pre-ceding three months. Bear in mind, however, that if you engage in “card collecting” with everyone you meet and subsequently calling them, the FTC may consider this a form of telemarketing that is not subject to this exemption. Thus, if you engage in calling “ac-quaintances,” you must make such calls on an occasional basis only and not make this a routine practice.

Affiliates shall not use automatic telephone dialing systems or software relative to the operation of their Tecademics opportunities. Affiliates shall not place or initiate any outbound telephone call to any person that delivers any pre-recorded message (a "robocall") regarding or relating to a Tecademics product, service, or opportunity.

4.30 Back Office Access

Tecademics makes online back offices available to its Affiliates. Back offices provide Affiliates ac-

cess to confidential and proprietary information that may be used solely and exclusively to pro-

mote the development of an Affiliate’s Tecademics opportunity and to increase sales of Tec-

ademics products. However, access to a back office is a privilege and not a right. Tecademics re-

serves the right to deny Affiliates access to the back office at its sole discretion.

SECTION 5 - RESPONSIBILITIES OF AFFILIATES

5.1 CHANGE OF ADDRESS, TELEPHONE, AND E-MAIL ADDRESSES

To ensure timely delivery of products, support materials, commission, and Tecademics tax docu-

ments, it is important that Tecademics’ information is current. Street addresses are required for


shipping since UPS cannot deliver to a post office box. An Affiliate whose contact information

changes must amend their contact information through their Affiliate Back Office.

5.2 CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT OBLIGATIONS

5.2.1 Ongoing Training

Any Affiliate who sponsors another Affiliate into Tecademics must perform a bona fide assis-

tance and training function to ensure that his or her downline is properly operating his or her

Tecademics opportunity. Affiliates must have ongoing contact and communication with the Affil-

iates in their downline organizations. Examples of such contact and communication may include,

but are not limited to: newsletters, written correspondence, personal meetings, telephone con-

tact, voice mail, electronic mail, and the accompaniment of downline Affiliates to Tecademics

meetings, training sessions, and other functions. Upline Affiliates are also responsible to moti-

vate and train new Affiliates in Tecademics product knowledge, effective sales techniques, the

Tecademics Compensation Program, and compliance with Company Policies and Procedures and

applicable laws. Communication with and the training of downline Affiliates must not, however,

violate Sections 4.1 or 4.2 (regarding the development of Affiliate-produced sales aids and pro-

motional materials).

Affiliates should monitor the Affiliates in their downline organizations to guard against downline

Affiliates making improper product or opportunity claims, violation of the Policies and Proce-

dures, or engaging in any illegal or inappropriate conduct.

5.2.2 Increased Training Responsibilit ies

As Affiliates spend more time learning how Tecademics processes and sales work, they will be-

come more experienced in sales techniques, product knowledge, and understanding of the Tec-

ademics programs. They will be called upon to share this knowledge with less experienced Affili-

ates within their organization.

5.2.3 Ongoing Sales Responsibilities

Regardless of their level of achievement, Affiliates have an ongoing obligation to continue to

personally promote sales through the generation of new Customers and through servicing their

existing Customers.

5.3 NON-DISPARAGEMENT

Tecademics wants to provide its Affiliates with the best products, Compensation Program, and

service in the industry. Accordingly, we value your constructive criticisms and comments. All

such comments should be submitted in writing to Customer Support at support@tecadem-

ics.com. Remember, to best serve you, we must hear from you! While Tecademics welcomes

mailto:[email protected]



constructive input, negative comments and remarks made in the field by Affiliates about the

Company, its founders and employees, its products, or Compensation Program or about fellow

Affiliates serve no purpose other than to sour the enthusiasm of other Tecademics Affiliates. For

this reason, and to set the proper example for their downline, Affiliates must not disparage, de-

mean, or make negative remarks about Tecademics, other Tecademics Affiliates, Tecademics

products, the Marketing and Compensation Program, or Tecademics’ directors, officers, or em-

ployees. Violation of this non-disparagement clause can lead to INVOLUNTARY cancellation of

the Affiliate’s account and all related benefits, at the sole discretion of the Company.

5.3.1 Defamation

All individuals associated with or contracted by Tecademics understand and agree that defama-tion is a serious issue, and, as a result, the following description of defamation will apply to you during and after any relationship with Tecademics ends. During the relationship with Tecademics and for a period of two (2) years thereafter you agree that you will not, through any form of communication with the press, public, clients, or media, disparage Tecademics in any way. Forms of communication include, but are not limited to, social media websites, public forums, suppliers, vendors, clients, interviews, or statements. You agree and understand that disparagement includes, but is not limited to, critiques, derogatory state-ments, ridicule, slander, jokes, or insults at the expense of the company, management, senior personnel, Affiliates, products, or services. Anyone violating this prohibition will be subject to immediate loss of commissions, position, ti-tle, status, benefits, wages, prestige, and influence, and will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

5.4 PROVIDING DOCUMENTATION TO APPLICANTS

Affiliates must provide the most current version of the Policies and Procedures and the Compen-

sation Program to individuals whom they are sponsoring to become Affiliates before the appli-

cant signs an Affiliate Agreement, or ensure that they have online access to these materials dur-

ing the Affiliate signup process.

5.4.1 Affil iate Initiated Claims Against Tecademics

In the event that an Affiliate initiates a claim against Tecademics, Tecademics will attempt to re-solve the complaint in accordance with the policies and procedures.

SECTION 6 - SALES REQUIREMENTS

6.1 NO TERRITORY RESTRICTIONS

There are no exclusive territories granted to anyone at this time.

6.2 SALES RECEIPTS


Tecademics will provide an Affiliate’s retail Customers with online access to an official Tecadem-

ics sales receipt at the time of the sale. These receipts set forth the Customer Satisfaction Guar-

antee as well as any consumer protection rights afforded by federal or state law. In addition, Af-

filiates must orally inform the buyer of his or her cancellation rights.

SECTION 7 - BONUSES AND COMMISSIONS

7.1 BONUS AND COMMISSION QUALIFICATIONS AND ACCRUAL

An Affiliate must be active and in compliance with the Agreement to qualify for bonuses and

commissions. So long as an Affiliate complies with the terms of the Agreement, Tecademics shall

pay commissions to such Affiliate in accordance with the Compensation Program.

7.2 ADJUSTMENT TO BONUSES AND COMMISSIONS CLAW-BACKS

7.2.1 Adjustments for Returned Products and Cancelled Services

Affiliates receive bonuses, commissions, or overrides based on the actual sales of products and

services to end consumers. When a service is cancelled or a product is refunded or repurchased

by the Company, any of the following may occur, at the Company’s sole discretion:

the bonuses, commissions, or overrides attributable to the returned or repurchased

product(s) or cancelled service will be deducted from payments to the Affiliate and up-

line Affiliates who received bonuses, commissions, or overrides on the original sales of

the refunded product(s) or cancelled service, in the month in which the refund is given,

and continuing every pay period thereafter until the commission is recovered; or

the bonuses, commissions, or overrides attributable to the returned or repurchased

product(s) or cancelled service may be deducted from any refunds or credits to the Affil-

iate who received the bonuses, commissions, or overrides on the sales of the refunded

product(s) or cancelled service.

7.2.2 Company-Sponsored Pay Card

The Company pays commissions only via direct payment onto a Company-sponsored debit card

or electronic wallet.

SECTION 8 - PRODUCT GUARANTEES, RETURNS AND INVENTORY REPURCHASE

8.1 AFFILIATE GUARANTEE AND RESCISSION

Federal and state law requires that Affiliates notify their retail Customers that they have seven

opportunity days (Saturday is an opportunity day, Sundays and legal holidays are not oppor-

tunity days) within which to cancel their purchase and receive a full refund. Affiliates MUST ver-

bally inform their Customers of this right. Direct access to invoices for all purchases is provided

through the Customer’s or Affiliate’s virtual office.

8.2 RETURNS BY RETAIL CUSTOMERS


Tecademics offers, through its Affiliates, a 100% seven (7) day money-back guarantee to all re-

tail Customers. Every Affiliate is bound to honor the retail Customer guarantee. If, for any rea-

son, a retail Customer is dissatisfied with any Tecademics product or service, the retail Customer

may receive a full refund of the purchase price (less shipping costs, if any) if it is requested in

writing within seven (7) days from the date of purchase.

8.3 RETURN OF SALES AIDS BY AFFILIATE

Upon cancellation of an Affiliate’s Agreement, the Affiliate may return sales aids that he or she

personally purchased from Tecademics (purchases from other Affiliates or third parties are not

subject to refund) that are in Resalable (see Definition of “Resalable” below) condition and

which have been purchased within one year prior to the date of cancellation. Upon receipt of

the sales aids, the Affiliate will be reimbursed 90% of the net cost of the original purchase

price(s). Neither shipping nor handling charges incurred by an Affiliate when the sales aids were

purchased, nor return shipping fees, will be refunded. If the purchases were made through a

credit card, the refund will be credited back to the same account.

Sales aids shall be deemed "resalable" if each of the following elements is satisfied:

they are unopened and unused;

packaging and labeling has not been altered or damaged;

they are in a condition such that it is a commercially reasonable practice within the trade to sell the merchandise at full price; and

they are not branded to the Affiliate personally; and

they are returned to Tecademics within one year from the date of purchase.

Any merchandise that is clearly identified at the time of sale as nonreturnable, discontinued, or

as a seasonal item, shall not be resalable. Replicated Website fees are not refundable except as

required by applicable state law.

8.3.1 Montana Residents

A MONTANA resident may cancel his or her Affiliate Agreement within 15 days from the date of

enrollment, and may return any items he or she has purchased for a full refund within such time

period.

8.4 PROCEDURES FOR PRODUCT RETURNS

All merchandise must be returned by the Affiliate or Customer who purchased it directly from Tecademics.

All products to be returned must have a Return Authorization Number, which is ob-tained by emailing [email protected]. This Return Authorization Number must be written on each carton returned.

The return is accompanied by:



o The original packing slip with the completed and signed Consumer Return infor-mation; and

o The unused portion of the product in its original container.

Proper shipping carton(s) and packing materials are to be used in packaging the prod-uct(s) being returned for replacement, and the best and most economical means of shipping is suggested.

If returned product is not received by the Company’s Distribution Center, it is the re-sponsibility of the Affiliate to trace the shipment.

If an Affiliate is returning merchandise to Tecademics that was returned to him or her by a personal retail Customer, the product must be received by Tecademics within ten (10) days from the date on which the retail Customer returned the merchandise to the Affili-ate, and must be accompanied by the sales receipt the Affiliate gave to the Customer at the time of the sale.

No refund or replacement of product will be made if the conditions of these rules are not met.

conduct in relationship to their respective Tecademics opportunities, the complaining Affiliate

should first report the problem to his or her Sponsor, who should review the matter and try to

tion of Company policy, it must be reported in writing to Compliance. Compliance will review

the facts and attempt to resolve it.

ment, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration. The Parties waive all rights to trial by

listed below:

9.5.1 Georgia Residents

tional items which are in a reasonably resalable or reusable condition and which were acquired

ate seeking to return the goods prior to the purchase of the goods by the Affiliate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and the arbitration provision 5, residents of the Se of Louisiana

isiana law.

SECTION 10 - PAYMENTS

10.1 RETURNED CHECKS

All checks returned by an Affiliate’s bank for insufficient funds will be re-submitted for payment.

A returned check fee will be charged to the account of the Affiliate. After receiving a returned

check from a Customer or an Affiliate, all future orders must be paid by Credit Card, money or-

der or cashier’s check. Any outstanding withheld from subsequent bonus and commission

checks.

10.2 RESTRICTIONS ON THIRD-PARTY USE OF CREDIT CARDS AND CHECKING AC-

COUNT ACCESS

Affiliates shall not allow or permit other Affiliates or Customers or potential Customers to use his or her credit card(s), or permit any debits to their checking accounts, to enroll or to make purchases from Tecademics or make payments on behalf of others, even if use of the card is au-thorized or the Affiliate uses the card for the benefit of the third party. Affiliates who do this will be terminated.

SECTION 11 - INACTIVITY AND CANCELLATION

11.1 EFFECT OF CANCELLATION

So long as an Affiliate remains active and complies with the terms of the Affiliate Agreement and

these Policies and Procedures, Tecademics shall pay commissions to an Affiliate based on their

sales performance and in accordance with the Compensation Program. An Affiliate’s bonuses

and commissions constitute the entire consideration for the Affiliate's efforts in generating sales

and all activities related to generating sales (including building a downline organization).

Following an Affiliate’s non-payment of his or her monthly fees, cancellation for inactivity, or

voluntary or involuntary cancellation of his or her Affiliate Agreement (all of these methods are

collectively referred to as “cancellation”), the former Affiliate shall have no right, title, claim or


interest to the downline which he or she operated, or any commission or bonus from the sales

generated by the organization.

An Affiliate whose account is cancelled will lose all rights as an Affiliate. This includes the right to

sell Tecademics products and services and the right to receive future commissions, bonuses, or

other income resulting from the sales and other activities of the Affiliate’s former downline sales

organization. In the event of cancellation, Affiliates agree to waive all rights they may have, in-

cluding but not limited to property rights, to their former downline organization and to any bo-

nuses, commissions or other remuneration derived from the sales and other activities of his or

her former downline organization.

Following a cancellation of an Affiliate’s Agreement, the former Affiliate shall not hold himself or

herself out as a Tecademics Affiliate and shall not have the right to sell Tecademics products or

services.

11.1.1 Unacceptable Behavior

Every employee, Affiliate, officer and director is expected to act in a professional, responsible, and courteous manner at all times. Clearly, such behavior fosters a positive and productive working environment. Conversely, inappropriate or unprofessional behavior is disruptive and unproductive. Moreover, inappropriate conduct is cause for disciplinary sanctions up to and in-cluding immediate termination. It is impossible to identify all standards of conduct that are unacceptable. Tecademics demands behavior that is at all times professional and courteous. Tecademics expects that everyone will use common sense and good judgment at all times. However, Tecademics’ judgment, and not that of any individual, is the benchmark for what is acceptable and what is not. An individual’s conduct is not made acceptable solely because the individual believes it to be. Nor may anyone excuse his or her conduct because this Section of the Affiliate Policies and Procedures does not specifically prohibit the objectionable conduct. Tecademics believes that inappropriate conduct, from rudeness to theft, is unacceptable. The decision as to what is inappropriate is left in the Company’s hands and sole discretion.

11.2 CANCELLATION DUE TO FAILURE TO PAY

The term of the Affiliate Agreement is month-to-month. It is automatically renewed upon the payment of the monthly Affiliate virtual office access fee, if any. Should an Affiliate fail to pay his/her monthly fee, if any, for a period of 30 days, the Affiliate’s opportunity will be put on sus-pension, and the Affiliate will not be eligible for commissions or bonuses until all past-due Affili-ate fees are paid. If the Affiliate fails to pay his or her fee(s), if any, for a period of 30 days, the Affiliate will be terminated. Following any credit card decline event, Affiliates will NOT receive any future notification from Tecademics of the decline event. If the decline event is not corrected and brought current within 30 days of the decline event date, the Affiliate will be terminated.

11.3 INVOLUNTARY CANCELLATION


An Affiliate’s violation of any of the terms of the Agreement, including any amendments that

may be made by Tecademics in its sole discretion, may result in any of the sanctions listed in

Section 9.1, including the involuntary cancellation of his or her Affiliate Agreement. Cancellation

shall be effective on the date on which written notice is mailed, emailed, faxed, or delivered to

an express courier, to the Affiliate’s last known address, email address, or fax number, or to his

or her attorney, or when the Affiliate receives actual notice of cancellation, whichever occurs

first.

Tecademics reserves the right to terminate all Affiliate Agreements upon thirty (30) days written

notice in the event that it elects to: (1) cease opportunity operations; (2) dissolve as a corporate

entity; or (3) terminate distribution of its products via direct selling.

11.4 VOLUNTARY CANCELLATION

An Affiliate has a right to cancel his or her Agreement at any time, regardless of the reason. The

notice of cancellation must be submitted in writing to Tecademics at its principal place of oppor-

tunity or by email to [email protected] from the last known email address of the Affili-

ate. The written notice must include the Affiliate’s signature, printed name, address, and Affili-

ate identification number. Affiliates who have consented to Electronic Contracting will be

deemed to have canceled their Affiliate Agreement by withdrawing their consent to contract

electronically.

Tecademics LLC Anti-Spam Policy

GENERAL POLICY

Spam is considered an unethical form of Internet advertising. Tecademics LLC (“Tecademics”) has a ZERO tolerance for Spam (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail). All Spam complaints will be taken seriously and as such, Tecademics prohibits Spam or any other unsolicited commercial e-mail from being sent either: over any network operated by Customers or any other users of these networks, and / or over any network if the message sent advertises or mentions a site hosted on a server operated by Tecademics. Tecademics reserves the right, without prior notice, to terminate the services of any Customer disregarding this policy.

In addition, people who send Spam can incur and expose substantial monetary fines from any of the providers through which Spam is directed because of the time, resources and expense it can incur for the spammed business. Spam is a negative form of advertising and is HIGHLY disliked within the Internet community.

You must not send Spam via our services, or send Spam or procure the services of another com-pany or individual to send Spam, which in any way implicates our services, by including the com-pany web site domain(s) or any other web site associated with Tecademics. This includes men-tioning a Tecademics e-mail address or URL in any bulk email message.

Tecademics reserves the right to determine what constitutes a violation of our Spam Policy. The sole opinion of Tecademics is ABSOLUTE in determining any and all Spam violations.

WORKING DEFINITION OF SPAM

Spam is the sending of unsolicited and unauthorized emails or online communications such as but not limited to bulletin boards, user groups, or instant messaging services to individuals or businesses who do not know you personally, have not agreed or requested to receive your emails, or have not provided their email address directly to the sender.

It is also an email sent to a recipient who would not have a reasonable expectation of receiving email from the sender. Spam can be a single email or a bulk mailing.

It is also the cross-posting messages to Usenet or News groups that explicitly forbid the posting of commercial solicitations or solicitations not pertaining to their content.

It is also Opt-out lists where a person is specifically required to request removal from a mailing list in order to prevent solicitation.

It is also hiring a company that is mailing out to a list of people with your opportunity that did not specifically request to receive your information beforehand.

It is also the use of our servers as a mail drop for responses to activities described above is strictly prohibited.

BULK E-MAIL


Tecademics prohibits the use of its network(s) to send bulk email whether opt-in or otherwise. The use of bulk email to promote a site on our network is also strictly forbidden.

UNDERSTANDING FFA ACC0UNTS

Promoting Your Site on FFA (Free For All) sites is NOT allowed. FFA sites (Free For All) sites and similar programs have a HIGH RISK of generating Spam complaints because of the nature of that type of program. Advertising on FFA sites is not permitted for promoting any Tecademics web-site, related website, and/or services. Any complaints we receive that are generated from your advertising on FFA programs will be treated as Spam.

We do not allow advertising on Free For All Sites because these sites post large numbers of links to other peoples' websites. You are told that if you list your site, you will have your own FFA site where you can send people to post their links. Your link will be replicated to many other sites. You are told that every time someone adds their link, they will get an email telling them about your opportunity. Once your link is also on their site, everyone who adds a link to their site gets an email from you. This leads to an enormous amount of Spam E-mail going out from you, auto-matically.

IF YOU VIOLATE OUR SPAM POLICY, YOU WILL:

Have your web site terminated immediately, without notice and without refund until you provide proof for all complaints that were filed against you. Even if you are able to provide proof, your account may still be suspended and/or cancelled if we receive a large number of complaints against your account.

Have your entire lead database deleted from our system.

Have a MINIMUM of $1,000.00 USD claim filed against you in a court of law.

Have any commissions due you withheld and/or forfeited.

Be immediately reported to your ISP provider.

DISRUPTING SERVICES PROVIDED BY US

Should Tecademics’ service or web sites be disrupted in anyway, by you, due to spamming, you will be charged and billed $500.00 USD per hour until service is restored. You may also be sub-ject to legal action as appropriate. For further information contact us at [email protected].




TECADEMICS

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY GUIDELINES

INTRODUCTION. Tecademics (“Tecademics”) expects that you will and you agree to respect our

intellectual property rights and also the intellectual property rights of others. We also expect

that you will and you agree to respect, follow, and use the Tecademics Advertising Guidelines,

which includes compliance with the provisions of the Tecademics Intellectual Property Guide-

lines. It is the policy of Tecademics that it will not infringe upon the intellectual property of any

Customer, competitor, or third-party without the proper permission or license.

NON-COMPLIANCE. Non-compliance is basically the unauthorized use of (infringement on) an-

other’s work product without a license or permission from the originator of the work product.

Infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others can subject you and Tecademics to lia-

bility for damages.

Even if the claims are unfounded, litigation can and will disrupt Tecademics business operations

and your business operations and is expensive. To help avoid claims of infringement, all independ-

ent contractors are required to read and agree to these terms.

FOUR TYPES OF INFRINGEMENT. Intellectual property is defined as intangible work product or

property created from the mental efforts of inventors, artists, writers, computer programmers

and other types of creators and authors. It includes Copyrights, Trade Secrets, Trademarks, and

Patents.

COPYRIGHT protects works of expression, including:

WRITTEN WORKS, such as computer programs (source code and object code, as well as what appears on the screen), books, articles, newsletters, web sites and marketing mate-rials;

MUSICAL WORKS, such as music compositions, lyrics and sound recordings;

ARTISTIC WORKS, such as paintings, sculptures, photographs, and drawings; and

AUDIOVISUAL WORKS, such as videos, motion pictures, TV programs and videogames.

A work is automatically protected by copyright the moment it is ‘fixed’ in a ‘tangible medium’

(e.g., when it is written on paper or on a computer, painted on canvas or recorded on film or

videotape). A copyright notice often may be found on copyrighted works, but it is not always

necessary for copyright protection.

The copyright gives the creators of a work the exclusive right to control its distribution and use,

including the right to make copies of the work, to disseminate copies to the public, to display,

present or perform the work in public, and to create adaptations of the work. Adaptations are

known as ‘derivative works’ and include translations, transfers of a work from one medium to


another (e.g., a film version of a book or a videogame version of a film), abridgements, dele-

tions, modifications or supplements. Note that copyright does not protect the underlying idea or

concept of the work, only the expression of that idea.

TRADE SECRETS. Some ideas may be protected only by keeping them secret or by entering into

a contract to keep the idea confidential. Trade secret law protects ideas, such as any process,

computer program, method, device, recipe, algorithm, Customer list, or any other information

that is not readily known to the public (i.e., that can be kept and is kept secret) and that has

competitive value or provides a business advantage by virtue of its secrecy.

TRADEMARKS. Trademarks include any words, symbols, slogans, brand names, musical sounds,

shapes, designs or logos that identify the supplier of products or services. Trademarks may con-

sist of a combination of these elements as well. Trademarks also include ”trade dress,” which

provides protection for distinctive packaging and, to a lesser extent, for distinctive product

shapes, colors, markings, or any other nonfunctional aspect of a product.

Trademark law is primarily intended to prevent consumer confusion as to the source of goods or

services. It protects not only consumers, but also the supplier’s reputation and goodwill. A

trademark notice in the form of , TM, or SM may be used in connection with a trademark, but

it is not necessarily required for trademark protection.

PATENTS. Patents give the patent holder the exclusive right to control production and distribu-

tion of the invention, including its creation, use, distribution or sale. A patent also may protect

variations on the invention, if it has been properly described in its patent filing. Notices are not

required for patent protection.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CREATED FOR THE COMPANY. You agree that you will not use the

trademarks of any competitor or other company or individual unless a license is obtained.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BELONGING TO THE COMPANY. As an independent contractor to

Tecademics, you agree at all times, including before, during, and after the independent contrac-

tor relationship has ended, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use to the detriment of

Tecademics, any trade secrets, confidential information, data or other proprietary information

relating to products, passwords, processes, programming code, technology, security, encryption,

user-names and user-passwords, know-how, designs, formulas, developmental or experimental

works of authorship, Customer lists, business plans, marketing or pricing strategies, or financial

information pertaining to any business of Tecademics or any of its clients, consultants, or licen-

sees. Such confidential information shall not be distributed to third persons or entities without

the express, written authorization of Tecademics.

As an independent contractor for Tecademics you also agree at all times, including before, dur-ing, and after the independent contractor relationship has ended, to keep any information learned about Tecademics clients and their Customer base(s) or operations confidential.

DUE DILIGENCE

You are advised to do your own due diligence when it comes to making business decisions and

should use caution and seek the advice of qualified professionals during your due diligence pro-

cess. You should check with your accountant, lawyer, or professional advisor, before acting on

this or any information. You may not consider any examples, documents, or other content on

the website or otherwise provided by us to be the equivalent of legal advice. Nothing contained

on the website or in materials available for sale or download on the website provides legal ad-

vice in any way. You should consult with your own attorney on any legal questions you may

have.

We assume no responsibility for any losses or damages resulting from your use of any link, infor-

mation, or opportunity contained within the website or within any information disclosed by Tec-

ademics in any form whatsoever.

Any use of our information, products or services should be based on your due diligence process,

which you confirm you have carried out to your complete and total satisfaction. You agree that

Tecademics is not responsible for any success or failure of your business activities, acts or con-

duct that is directly or indirectly related to your business or the purchase and use of our infor-

mation, products, services or presentations.


TECADEMICS

INCOME AND EARNINGS DISCLAIMER

Any claims made of actual earnings or examples of actual results should be viewed as entertain-

ment or educational information based on subjective information. Your level of success in at-

taining any results used in any of our materials, presentations and the use of our products and

materials depends on the time you devote to the program including, but not limited to, your

ideas and techniques, your knowledge and various skills. Since these factors differ by individuals,

we cannot and do not guarantee any success or level of results or average earnings.

The materials that make up our product and our website may contain information that includes

or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Litigation Re-

form Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future

events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical

or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,”

“plan,” “believe,” and “could” and other words and terms of similar inference in connection

with a description or an illustration to express our opinion of earnings potential. They are opin-

ions only and should not be relied upon as fact. Do not construe any statement in this website,

in our materials or presentations as a claim or representation of average earnings. There are NO

average earnings. As well, testimonials and statements of individuals are not to be construed as

claims or representations of average earnings. We cannot and do not, and will not make any

claims as to earnings, average or otherwise.

Income or earnings statements (if any) are estimates of income potential only, and there is no

assurance that your earnings will equal or exceed the figures we present. Any reliance you may

place on the figures we present is at your own risk. Any income or earnings depicted are NOT to

be interpreted as common, typical, expected, or normal for the average person. Any particular

result may be exceptional, and the variables that impact results are so numerous and some-

times uncontrollable, that Tecademics makes no guarantees as to your income or earnings of

any kind, at any time.

Where specific income figures are used, and attributed to an individual or business, those per-

sons or businesses have actually earned those amounts. There is no assurance that your earn-

ings or income will match or exceed those figures, or that you will make any money at all. If you

rely upon our examples or figures, you do so at your own risk, and you accept all risk associated

with your reliance.

Any and all claims or representations as to income earnings made on our web sites or in our ma-

terials or information or presentations are NOT to be considered as average earnings. Testimo-

nials are not representative and although we attempt to verify them, we cannot guarantee we

will locate where they were made so they can be verified. There are no assurances that any


prior successes, or past results, as to income and/ or earnings, can be used as an indication of

your future success or results.

Monetary and income results are based on many factors. We have no way of knowing how well

you will do, as we do not know you, your background, your work ethic, or your business skills or

practices. Therefore we do not guarantee or imply that you will win any incentives or prizes that

may be offered, that you will make any income or earnings, that you will do well, or that you will

make any money at all. If you rely upon our examples or figures, you do so at your own risk, and

you accept all risk associated with that reliance.

Making decisions based on any information presented or provided in our programs, products,

and services or on our website, should be done only with the knowledge and understanding that

you could experience losses or make no money at all.

Users of our programs, products, services and website are advised to do their own due diligence

when it comes to making business decisions, and all information, programs, products and ser-

vices that have been provided should be independently verified by your own qualified profes-

sionals. All disclosures and disclaimers made herein, on our web sites, or in any materials pro-

vided to you apply equally to any offers, prizes or incentives that may be made by our company.

You agree that our company is not responsible for the success or failure of your business deci-

sions relating to any information presented by our company, or our company programs, prod-

ucts and/or services.

TECADEMICS LLC

TRAINING PURCHASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. This agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions for purchase and use of Tecademics Training. 2. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase or participate in any training offered by Tec-ademics LLC (“Tecademics”). Proof of age and residence may be required.

3. All Training Purchases are based on Training Hours, which are used to attend trainings offered

by Tecademics or its assigns. Trainings are accessed through the use of the Training Hours. Prior

to attending any training event, Customers must register for classes using Training Hours. Regis-

tration information, including registration deadlines and instructions, are available the Virtual Of-

fice. Changes to training registrations made after registration deadlines may be subject to a late

registration fee and or a schedule change fee.

4. Customers are provided with (4) successive quarterly training opportunities to redeem the

Training Hours through training scheduling and attendance. The opportunity to redeem Training

Hours starts with the start date of the first training event offered by the Company that follows the

purchase date of the Training Hours. The redemption Period ends on the date following the con-

clusion of the fourth (4th) successive training event (the “Redemption Period”). Unused Training

Hours from the initial Redemption Period is forfeited. The Redemption Period is not extended or

reduced with the subsequent purchase of any additional Training Hours. Training Hours must be

used within the applicable Redemption Period. After the Redemption Period has expired, the

Training Hours cannot be redeemed.

5. Customers who have purchased Training Hours will also receive electronic access to all available

audio recordings of training (the “Training Audios”) and all available video recordings of trainings

(the “Video Trainings”). These audio and video recordings are for the use of the Customer and the

Customer’s designated partner (if any) ONLY. Any unauthorized copying or use of distribution is a

violation of the United States Copyright Act and may result in civil or criminal penalties. Making a

physical, digital, or a computer generated copy is prohibited.

6. Customers who purchase Training Hours can repeat the same trainings, subject to availability,

that they or their Partner, if applicable, have previously attended, for the duration of the Redemp-

tion Period, as well as an additional four (4) successive training events immediately following the

Redemption Period (“Audit Period”), at no cost, as long as that same training is offered. After

attendance of a training, Customers will have the ability to attend that same training at a future

training event, based on availability, during the applicable Audit Period. The determination of

whether a training is the same training previously attended is established by the “concepts” of

the training, as defined by Tecademics, and not by the trainer’s name. Space in trainings is limited

and will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Some trainings may sell out. Access

to some trainings may be limited for repeat attendees to accommodate new Customers.


7. Customers who purchase any Training Hours have the ability to designate a partner (the “Train-

ing Partner”) who may participate in the use of Training Hours purchased. Training Partners are

required to agree to Training Partner Terms (which terms are incorporated by reference to these

Terms and Conditions). Customers are not obligated to select a Training Partner. If no Training

Partner is selected, only the Customer may use the Training Hours purchased. Customer may not

have more than one current Training Partner. During the Audit Period, Customer and Training

Partner can repeat only the same classes that each has attended at a previous training event.

Once a Training Partner has been selected, the Company may accept course registrations for the

current Training Partner up to the total number of unused Training Hours available at the time of

registration.

8. If the Customer has selected a Training Partner, this partner designation may not be canceled

or changed unless the Customer purchases new Training Hours. At that time, Customer may select

a new Training Partner, re-select the current Training Partner, or elect to have no Training Partner.

If Customer selects a new Training Partner or, elects to proceed without a Training Partner, upon

their purchase of subsequent Training Hours, event registrations for the Previous Training Partner

will be void and available unused Training Hours will no longer be accessible by the Previous Train-

ing Partner. Additionally, previous Training Partners can no longer repeat trainings that they

would otherwise have been eligible to repeat. In no event, shall Training Partners receive a refund

from the Company for any amounts they have paid for training. A primary Customer may termi-

Company’s products as those products become available. You will determine the

keting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the marketing, advertis-

6. Term. This Agreement commences on the date accepted by the Company and con-tinues on a month-to-month basis unless terminated by the Company at its sole dis-cretion.

7. Confidential Information. You agree that the Company (at considerable expense and effort) has built a large Customer base. You also understand that the Company treats the names of its Customers and potential Customers as confidential infor-mation. You recognize that the Company will disclose to You Confidential Information which is secret and of a character that would not occur to a person but for this Agree-ment, and that all Confidential Information is the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You agree that You will not at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information for Your own benefit, or divulge, disclose, or communicate in any manner any Confidential Information to any third party. Upon


termination of this Agreement, You must immediately deliver to the Company all doc-uments or recorded materials that contain or refer to any Confidential Information, (as well as Company equipment and or records) that are in Your custody or control. The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect after the termination of this Agreement. “Confidential Information” includes client lists, lists of potential clients or leads, as well as client and potential client information, all information con-tained in Your Business Center which was provided to you by the Company, any con-tact lists, business plans, marketing plans, operational information, information re-garding sales and product costs, marketing materials and materials that are devel-oped or modified during the term of this Agreement either by You or by You working with the Company. You and the Company agree and acknowledge that but for this agreement of confidentiality and non-disclosure, the Company would not make this information available to You, nor would we allow you to amass this information as the result of our efforts and expense. The Company reserves the right to seek dam-ages to the fullest extent of the law if You misuse our confidential data.

8. Non-Competition. You understand and agree that Customer acquisition and maintenance costs are high. So that we may be able to protect our Customer base from misappropriation of our business assets and avoid the expense and conse-quences of unfair competition, You agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) months following the termination or expiration of this Agree-ment, You will not: (i) directly or indirectly engage in any Competitive Business; (ii) market or sell any similar product or similar service (other than Company products and services) to any Tecademics Customers; or, (iii) sell internet marketing training or internet marketing clubs or memberships. You also agree that the length of time in this Section will be tolled for any period during which You are in breach of the cove-nants or any other period during which Company seeks to enforce this Agreement. “Actively Marketed” for purposes of this Agreement is defined as any activity in which You have solicited sales of any product or service offered by the Company dur-ing the term of this Agreement. A “Competitive Business” is defined as anyone who offers internet marketing training programs or Entrepreneurial Studies, Training and Education, and technology-associated training similar to those offered by the Com-pany. “Directly or indirectly engaging in any Competitive Business” means (i) engag-ing in a Competitive Business as owner, partner, or agent that conducts its business in Your assigned territory or any geographical area(s) in which You have Actively Mar-keted for the Company; (ii) becoming an officer, director, employee or independent contractor to any third party that is engaged in a Competitive Business in Your as-signed territory or any geographical area(s) in which You have Actively Marketed for the Company; or (iii) soliciting any Customer of the Company for the benefit of a third party that is engaged in a Competitive Business.

Nothing in this Agreement prohibits You from marketing or selling any other products or services that are not offered by the Company, provided, however, that You do so individually and without the assistance of any person under contract to the Company; and that, in connection with any such sale or marketing endeavor, that you do not solicit current Customers of the Company. You also understand and agree that Tec-ademics strongly prohibits the sale of non-Tecademics products to other Tecademics


Customers at events sponsored or presented by the Company. Ignorance of this po-sition by Tecademics Customers and abuse of Customer’s names for the purpose of cross marketing can be grounds for immediate termination of our relationship with You.

We and You have agreed to guidelines to limit Your right to compete only to the ex-

tent necessary to protect the Company from unfair competition and misappropriation

of business assets. Therefore, we agree that if the scope of enforceability of this Sec-

tion is disputed at any time by You, a court or arbitrator, as the case may be, may

modify the duration of this Section to the extent that it deems necessary to make

such provision enforceable under applicable law. In addition, the Company reserves

the right to reduce the duration of this Section without Your consent, at any time or

times, effective immediately upon notice to You. You acknowledge that the re-

strictions imposed by this Agreement are fully understood and agreed to by You.

9. Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6)

months following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, You agree that You

will not solicit, employ, seek to employ or contract any person you Actively Marketed

to; any Company employee; or any of the Company’s Independent Contractors, who

are part of the sales organization you were associated with within the Company, or

with whom You have had an ongoing business relationship or with whom You entered

into any business transaction during the one year preceding the termination or expi-

ration of this Agreement, sever their relationship with the Company or to offer, mar-

ket or sell any products or services similar to the products or services offered by the

Company or to join or participate in any club or organization which offers or sells

similar products and services.

10. Indemnification. During the term of this Agreement, and after the termination, expiration or transfer of this Agreement, You hereby waive all claims against the Com-pany (and any Independent Contractors, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and em-ployees) for damages to property, death, or injuries to persons arising directly or in-directly out of the management or operation of Your business, and agree to indemnify and the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees, and hold them harmless against all claims, demands, losses, damages (including punitive damages), costs, suits, judgments, penalties, expenses (including reasonable attor-neys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and liabilities of any kind, whether or not ultimately determined to be meritorious (and including damages suf-fered by us or any of our property) (collectively, “Damages”) for which they are held liable, or which they incur (including attorney’s fees and costs, travel, investigation and living expenses of attorneys, employees and witness fees) in any litigation or pro-ceeding as a result of or arising out of: (a) a breach of this Agreement, or any other agreement between us; (b) any injury to, or loss of property of, any person in connec-tion with the operation of Your business; (c) Your taxes, liabilities, costs or expenses of Your business; (d) any negligent or willful act or omission of You, Your employees, agents, servants, contractors or others for whom You are, in law, responsible; (e) any

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the Parties. You acknowledge that no representations, understandings or promises (oral or writ-ten) were made by anyone to induce You to enter into this Agreement. This Agree-ment can be modified or amended only by written amendment signed by both Par-ties.

12. Enforceability/Severability/Survival. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision, it would become valid and en-forceable, then such provision will be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as limited to the least degree necessary to make it enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement, You will re-main liable for Your indemnification obligations and other obligations which by their very nature are intended to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

13. Disputes; Governing Law. Except as provided below in this Section, any contro-versy, claim, action, or lawsuit relating to or arising out of this Agreement, Company Rules, Policies or Procedures, or any other disagreement between the Parties must be submitted to the Company in writing. No phone complaints will be accepted. Any complaint that cannot be resolved by the Company will be resolved by binding arbi-tration conducted by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its then-current Rules for Commercial Arbitration. Arbitration will be held in Maricopa County, Arizona. Arizona law governs this Agreement and the relationship between the parties. The obligation to arbitrate disputes does not apply to any disputes where a Party is or may be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, including specifically, the provisions governing use of Confidential Infor-mation, competition by You with the Company during the term of or following termi-nation of this Agreement and the provisions governing solicitation by You of other persons with whom the Company has or, during the applicable time periods, had a business relationship. A Party opposing the imposition of the injunctive relief cove-nants agrees that he, she, or it will not contest the right of Party seeking injunctive relief to such relief on the basis that the Parties had agreed to arbitrate their disputes as provided. Any cause of action, claim, suit or demand for injunctive relief allegedly arising from or related to the terms of this Agreement or the relationship of the par-ties must be brought in the Federal District Court for the District of Arizona or in the state courts of Maricopa County, Arizona. Both parties irrevocably admit themselves to, and consent to, the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts. The provisions of this Sec-tion will survive the termination of this Agreement.

14. Termination and Remedies. The Company has the right to suspend and or termi-nate, with or without cause, this entire Agreement or Your right to participate in any one or more Company marketing or sales programs without terminating the entire


Agreement at any time by sending written notice to You. Any suspension and or ter-mination is effective on the date of the notice of termination. You understand and agree that the Company may assess administrative fees as a result of Your failure to comply with any Company, State or Federal rule, law or regulation, including the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Compensation Program, the PPGs, or any other corporate document containing guidelines for Affiliates; and, that the Company has the right to require You to forfeit or reverse any commissions due to You for vio-lations of any of these rules.

15. Assignment. During the term of this Agreement, You agree that Your rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred to any other person, corporation, or entity without the prior written consent of the Company and that Company has the right to assign this Agreement to any third party (“Assignee”) without prior notice to You. Any assignment by Company to an Assignee will transfer all rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement and between You and the Company to the Assignee.

16. Authorization. If the individual signing this Agreement is signing on behalf of a corporation or other entity, the individual represents that the corporation or entity is properly organized and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and that the individual signing is authorized to sign this Agreement on behalf of the corporation or entity.

17. Company’s Reasonable Business Judgment. Whenever Company reserves or is deemed to have reserved discretion in a particular area or where Company agrees or is deemed to be required to exercise Company’s rights reasonably or in good faith, the Company will satisfy its obligations whenever the Company exercises its Reason-able Business Judgment in making its decision or exercising its rights. A decision or action by Company will be deemed to be the result of Reasonable Business Judgment, even if other reasonable or even arguably preferable alternatives are available, if its decision or action is intended, in whole or significant part, to promote or benefit Tec-ademics, even if the decision or action also promotes a financial or other individual interest of Company. Examples of items that will promote or benefit Tecademics in-clude enhancing the value of the trademarks, improving Customer service and satis-faction, improving product quality, improving uniformity, enhancing or encouraging modernization, and improving the competitive position of Tecademics.

limited liability company, corporation, other form of business organization or em-ployee, for purposes of this Agreement, it shall be referred to as a “Partnership”.
