Once the Company accepts an Applicant’s Marketing Partner Agreement, the new Marketing Partner is automatically placed on the first available matrix position of the Enrolling Sponsor’s Downline Organization.



International Marketing Partner Status:


Marketing Partners may only conduct business in countries where the Company officially announces that is authorized to conduct business. This includes prospecting, lead generation and sales of product. In addition, due to differing requirements in labeling and compliance from country to country, product originating from one country may only be sold or delivered within that country. In order to protect the integrity of the Company as well as the organization, violations of this policy will not be tolerated.

New Market Development:


Marketing Partners may not individually import, export or distribute products or business building tools in any country.


The Company has the sole responsibility of contacting and coordinating with government or legal agencies for the purpose of initiating the approval process to introduce Xcelerate International products to any country. Notwithstanding the Marketing Partner’s enthusiasm and good intentions, circumvention of this policy could have harmful effects on the Company’s ability to conduct business. Therefore, attempts to market in countries outside of the Xcelerate International official list of open countries will result in sanctions up to and including immediate termination of the Marketing Partner’s status.


Marketing Partners understand that conducting any pre-launch activity in countries not officially open for Xcelerate International business is against Company policy.


Violators of this policy shall be subject to the laws governing that country, termination of their Marketing Partner Status and subject to civil and/or criminal prosecution to recuperate any damages to the Company.



Orphans:


Orders will not be accepted from anyone who does not have a Marketing Partner Sponsor.


If the Company receives inquiries from the public about its products and opportunity, it will attempt to ascertain whether contact resulted from a Marketing Partner‘s sponsoring efforts and if so, the inquiring party will be referred to that Marketing Partner. Other prospects, who have simply heard of the company without any discoverable contact with a Marketing Partner, will be referred to an Active Marketing Partner pursuant to the Company’s lead distribution policy.


Voluntary Cancellation:


Marketing Partners may cancel their Marketing Partner Business status at any time with a signed and dated letter indicating their intent to discontinue their Status.

The Company may terminate a Marketing Partner, at its sole discretion, if any provision of the Agreement, including any amendments that may be made by the Company, is violated.


In the event of a Marketing Partner termination, the following procedures will be followed:


If cause exists for termination, the Company will inform the Marketing Partner by Email at the latest address listed with the Company for the Marketing Partner that his/her Marketing Partner status is immediately terminated. The Marketing Partner will have ten days from the receipt of email to appeal the termination in writing. Unless the Marketing Partner replies to the Company within this time period, the termination will be deemed final.


Upon timely appeal of the termination, the Company will review the matter and determine the appropriate action, and the decision of the Company will be final.


In the event that a Marketing Partner resigns or is terminated, they will not be entitled to any compensation from the Company. In cases where a termination is disputed, the Company may, at its option, hold all past, current and future monies in a reserve fund until the dispute is settled.


Any Downline organization affected by the termination will remain under the Marketing Partner’s Sponsor organization. Matrix compression will apply in accordance to the Compensation Plan.


Cancellation shall become effective on the date on which written notice is mailed, faxed or emailed to the Marketing Partner’s last known address (physical or electronic), or when the Marketing Partner receives actual notice of cancellation, whichever occurs first.

Section 3: Compensation

The Xcelerate International Compensation Plan is based on a Network Marketing system of person-to-person distribution and direct sales to end consumers. Marketing Partners are compensated for the products sold and distributed through their sales and marketing organizations. Commissions are paid to Marketing Partners who qualify pursuant to the Rewards Plan and who are in compliance with the Contract. A Marketing Partner does not receive compensation for sponsoring or recruiting other Marketing Partners. By reference, the Xcelerate International Compensation Plan is incorporated into this P&P.



Commissions:


The Company will pay Commissions to Qualified Marketing Partners on Product orders that have been received before the end of the Commission period; (ii) fully paid; and (iii) the sale is completed.



Commissions are paid in the name of the Business Entity listed on the Marketing Partner Agreement. When no Business Entity is listed, Commissions are paid to the personal name of the first Person listed on the Marketing Partner Agreement.


Commissions/bonuses are not paid on the purchase of any promotional business material such as sales aids.


If a Marketing Partner believes that there is an error in the computation of commissions and/or program qualifications, the error must promptly be brought to the attention of the Company. If such problems are not presented to the


Company in writing within Thirty (30) days after the end of the relevant Commission period, the Marketing Partner waives all recourse with respect to such alleged error.



Minimum Payment:


The minimum amount for payment of commission and bonus is 25 dollars ($25 USD or equivalent local currency). Commissions and/or bonuses in an amount less than 25 dollars ($25 USD or equivalent local currency) for a pay period will accumulate until they equal or exceed one dollar ($25 USD or equivalent local currency).


Returned or Unpaid Payments:


The Company makes every effort to ensure that a Marketing Partner receives its commission payments. However, if a commission payment is unpaid due to insufficient information or other reasons beyond the control of the Company, the payment will be held for the benefit of the Marketing Partner for 180 days. Once the 180 day time period has passed, the commissions may be voided.


Commission/Bonus Payment Fees:


The Company may debit or place a hold on any commission/ bonus payments for any amount owed it by the Distributor.


When a product is returned to the Company for a refund, the Company, at its discretion may, in the month in which the product is returned, and continuing each pay period thereafter until the bonuses or commissions are recovered:


Deduct any bonuses and commissions attributable to the returned or repurchased products from the Distributor(s) who received the bonuses and commissions on the sales of said products.


Deduct the corresponding points from the Personal or Group Volume of the Distributor who earned commissions/bonuses based on the sale of the returned products.


Deductions and Offsets:

Retail Sales Tax – United States:


Xcelerate International will collect sales tax for each state that allows or requires it to do so (for additional information such as specific states that require Xcelerate International to collect sales tax, please contact Customer Service) and will remit the tax to the appropriate government agencies.


Xcelerate International is required to collect and remit sales taxes based on its “suggested retail price” and the sales tax rates applicable to the ship-to address. The suggested retail price will be used as the tax base except when:


the Independent Marketing Partner’s state allows the use of resale certificates or tax numbers. In this case, if the purchase is made for resale and the Independent Marketing Partner has a valid resale certificate or tax number on file with Xcelerate International, Xcelerate International will not collect the applicable taxes from the Independent Marketing Partner.

Taxes will be charged based on the purchase price paid by the Customer. A Customer is not eligible to resell products, nor use his account to make products available to another Customer.


Xcelerate International will collect the applicable sales tax on the personal orders of products purchased by the Marketing Partner based on the actual price paid by the Independent Marketing Partner, subject to the limitations described below.


For the purpose of this policy, a personal order includes products purchased for resale and/ or products personally consumed by you or by the officers, directors, shareholders, or employees of the Marketing Partner Business if you are operating under a business name.


All Other Jurisdictions:


Xcelerate International will collect and remit sales tax on the actual price paid by Consultants or Customers at the time of purchase.

Other Forms:


Xcelerate International reserves its right to provide the applicable federal, state and provincial tax authorities with any additional tax information as may be required by changes to applicable tax legislation.


Section 5: Advertising

Xcelerate International encourages Marketing Partners to advertise and promote the company’s products and marketing opportunities. However, it is critically important that all Marketing Partners comply with the advertising guidelines contained in these Policies and Procedures. All and any testimonies or claims must also comply with these Policies and Procedures. In order to protect Xcelerate International and its Marketing Partners, Xcelerate International reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate Marketing Partners who are in violation of these advertising guidelines.


Trademarks, Logos, Names and Copyrights:


Marketing Partners may not use Xcelerate International trademarks, logos, name or trade names or any distinctive phrases used by Xcelerate International in its business except as stated in these Policies and Procedures. Marketing Partners who make authorized use of Xcelerate International’s trademarks, logos, names or trade names must clearly indicate the term “Xcelerate International Independent Marketing Partner” and it must be placed directly under the logo or trademark used. Marketing Partners may not use Xcelerate International trademarks or names in the domain names or subdomain names of Web site addresses or within electronic address/emails.

Sales aids and support materials include but are not limited to: Product brochures, videos, audios, reference books and product


catalogues (both digital and in print). The rationale behind this requirement is simple; Xcelerate International has carefully designed its products, product labels, Compensation Plan and promotional materials to ensure that each aspect of Xcelerate International is fair, truthful, substantiated and complex with the vast and complex legal requirements of federal, state and provincial laws.


Marketing Partners may place generic classified business opportunity advertisements such as those intended for print media (i.e. local newspapers and magazines) or for classified online ads such as Craigslist or Kijiji, provided the advertisement conforms to all applicable laws and regulations and does not in any way utilize any of the Company brand, images or trade names.


Mass-media marketing is not authorized and any requests for such projects will be denied. Examples of this type of marketing include radio and television appearances or infomercials, commercials or billboards.


A Marketing Partner may only use a celebrity endorsement with written approval from the Company and the specific prior written approval of the endorsing celebrity for each use of the celebrity’s name.


Xcelerate International requires a minimum of three business days to approve any requests. Unless the Marketing Partner receives a written approval to use said advertising piece, the request shall be deemed denied.

Telephone/Telemarketing:


Xcelerate International prohibits Marketing Partners from answering or identifying themselves on the telephone in any manner that would make callers believe they have reached the corporate offices of Xcelerate International. Marketing Partners should therefore refrain from using Xcelerate International’s name in answering the phone by saying “Xcelerate International” or “this is (name) with Xcelerate International”. This also applies to telephone listings and recorded messages. The approved telephone listing for all telephone publications is “Xcelerate International Independent Marketing Partner (name)”.


Marketing Partners must not engage in telemarketing relative to the operation of their Xcelerate International businesses. The term “telemarketing” means the placing of one or more telephone calls to an individual or entity to induce the purchase of a Xcelerate International product, or to recruit them for the Xcelerate International opportunity. “Cold Calls” made to prospective Customers or Marketing Partners that promote either Xcelerate International’s products of the Xcelerate International opportunity constitute telemarketing and are prohibited.


Retail Establishments:


Except as described herein, a Marketing Partner may not sell Products or promote the business opportunity through unapproved Retail Establishments.


The owner of an independent retail store (sole proprietorship) that wishes to sell or promote Xcelerate International products must be a Xcelerate International Marketing Partner in good standing and purchase the products through the corporate website.

If a license, permit or special form is required, a copy must be sent to Xcelerate International for its permanent records.


You must receive prior permission from Xcelerate International before setting up an exhibit at any Event. Your request to attend a specific event must be sent in writing to the Compliance Department. When permission is granted, it is granted for the specific Event only. Permission does not carry over to the same Event on another date or at another place. Xcelerate International grants permissions for only one Marketing Partner to display Xcelerate International products at each Event. If two Marketing Partners apply for permission to represent Xcelerate International at any given Event, preliminary permission will be granted to each Marketing Partner. Final approval will be given to the first Marketing Partner who provides Xcelerate International with a copy of the booth space contract showing proof of payment for such Event.


Marketing Partners are encouraged to cooperate with each other for such Events, but Xcelerate International remains the final authority on approval of attendance at Events where Xcelerate International products are represented or displayed.

Marketing Partners may create a link to their personal Xcelerate International site from a compliant independent Website and may redirect existing URLs to their Xcelerate International Internet address.


When selecting terms for use in domain names, you may not include Xcelerate International, Xceleratefueltabs, names of corporate executives and advisers, or any term that may be a derivative of or confusingly similar to the Xcelerate International trademark, such as “Xcelerate International.com”.


Xcelerate International maintains the right to request the removal of any advertising or title if it conflicts with the corporate brand and interests.


Social Networking/Media Sites:


Marketing Partners are encouraged to use company provided images and messages from the Company Social Sharing System on their personal social networking sites such as “Facebook”, “Twitter”, “YouTube”, “Google Video”, “WordPress”, “Blogger”, etc. (collectively, “Social Media Sites”).
