1. Introduction
1.1. Policies Incorporated into Affiliate Application and Agreement. These Policies and Procedures (“Policies”), in their
present form and as amended at the sole discretion of ForLife Research Sdn. Bhd. (hereafter “4Life” or the “Company”),
are incorporated into, and form an integral part of, the 4Life Affiliate Application and Agreement (hereafter “Affiliate
Agreement”). Throughout these Policies, when the term “Agreement” is used, it collectively refers to the 4Life Affiliate
Agreement, these Policies, and the Life Rewards Plan. These documents are incorporated by reference into the
Affiliate Agreement (all in their current form and as amended by 4Life). It is the responsibility of each Affiliate to
read, understand, adhere to, and ensure that he or she is aware of and operating under the most current version of
these Policies. When sponsoring a new Affiliate, it is the responsibility of the sponsoring Affiliate to ensure that the
applicant has access to the most current version of these Policies prior to or at the time the applicant executes the
Affiliate Agreement. Capitalized terms throughout these Polices are fully defined at the end of these Policies,
alphabetically under “Glossary of Terms”.
1.2. Purpose of Policies. 4Life Affiliates are required to comply with all the Terms and Conditions set forth in the
Agreement which 4Life may amend at its sole discretion from time to time, as well as all federal and state laws governing
their 4Life business and their conduct. Because Affiliates may be unfamiliar with many of these standards of practice, it
is very important that each Affiliate read and abide by the Agreement. The information in these Policies should be
reviewed carefully. They explain and govern the relationship between an Affiliate and the Company.
1.3. Changes to the Affiliate Agreement, Policies, Life Rewards Plan and Product Price List. 4Life reserves the right to
amend the Agreement and the prices in its Product Price List in its sole and absolute discretion. By signing the Affiliate
Agreement, an Affiliate agrees to abide by all amendments or modifications that 4Life elects to make. Notification of
amendments shall appear in Official 4Life Materials. Price changes are not subject to prior notice and shall be effective
upon publication in Official 4Life Materials, including but not limited to, posting on malaysia.4life.com, email
distribution, publication in 4Life’s newsletter, product inserts, price sheets, or any other commercially reasonable method.
The continuation of an Affiliate’s 4Life business or an Affiliate’s acceptance of bonuses or commissions constitutes
acceptance of any and all amendments.
1.4. Delays. 4Life shall not be responsible for delays and failures in performance of its obligations when performance
is made commercially impractical due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This includes, without
limitation, strikes, labor difficulties, riots, terrorism, war, fire, flood, death, pandemic, curtailment of a party’s source
of supply, or government decrees or orders.
1.5. Policies and Provisions Severable. If any provision of the Agreement, in its current form or as may be amended,
is found to be invalid, 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 and shall be construed as if such invalid, or
unenforceable provision never comprised a part of the Agreement.
1.6. Titles Not Substantive. The titles and headings in the Agreement are for reference purposes only, and do not
constitute, and shall not be construed as, substantive terms of the Agreement.
1.7. Waiver. Neither party gives up its right to insist on compliance with the Agreement and with the applicable laws
governing the conduct of a business. No failure of either party to exercise any right or power under the Agreement
or to insist upon strict compliance by the other party with any obligation or provision of the Agreement, and no custom or
practice of the parties at variance with the terms of the Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of the party’s right to demand
exact compliance with the Agreement. Waiver can be effectuated only in writing by an authorized officer or
representative of either party. A party’s waiver of any particular breach by the other party shall not affect or impair
the party’s rights with respect to any subsequent breach, nor shall it affect in any way the rights or obligations of any
other Affiliate, nor shall any delay or omission by a party to exercise any right arising from a breach affect or impair
4Life’s rights as to that or any subsequent breach.
The existence of any claim or cause of action by a party against the other party shall not constitute a defense to the party’s
enforcement of any term or provision of the Agreement.

2. Becoming an Affiliate
2.1. Requirements to Become an Affiliate. To become an Affiliate, each applicant must:
• Be at least 18 years of age (a person who is recognized as a legal minor may not be an Affiliate; Affiliates shall not enroll or recruit minors
into 4Life);
• Reside in Malaysia;
• Have a valid MyKad or work permit and a letter from Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia stating the tax file number which does not prohibit
him/her from becoming a 4Life Affiliate;
• Submit a properly completed and signed Affiliate Agreement to 4Life. The Company reserves the right to reject any applications for new Affiliate
Accounts. Please attach a photocopy of your identity card or work permit and passport to the Affiliate Agreement; and
• Purchase a Welcome Kit. No person is required to purchase 4Life products to become an Affiliate. However, to familiarize new Affiliates with
4Life products, sales techniques, sales aids, and other matters, the purchase of a Welcome Kit is required. 4Life will repurchase Resalable
Welcome Kits from any Affiliate who terminates his or her Affiliate Agreement pursuant to the terms of the “Return of Inventory and Sales Aids
by Affiliates and Retail Customers” section of these Policies.
2.2. New Affiliate Registration. An applicant may sign up as an Affiliate by completing the Affiliate Agreement and
forwarding it to 4Life via email or facsimile. After that, an applicant who signs up as an Affiliate must:
• Send or deliver the completed and signed Affiliate Agreement to the Company within thirty (30) days from the date of sign-up; and
• Purchase the Welcome Kit.
Provided that the completed and signed Affiliate Agreement is received by the Company, the applicant’s sign-up will
only become effective within three (3) working days. For purposes of 4Life’s Policies, signatures on application submitted
through these electronic methods shall be deemed original signatures.
2.3. Affiliate Benefits. Agreements are available to the new Affiliate. These benefits include the right to:
Similarly, Affiliates shall not require or encourage other current or prospective Retail Customers or Affiliates to make any
purchase from, or payment to, any individual or entity to participate in the Life Rewards Plan other than those purchases
or payments identified as recommended or required in Official 4Life Materials.
3.2. Advertising. All Affiliates shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of 4Life and its products. The
marketing and promotion of 4Life, the 4Life opportunity, the Life Rewards Plan, and 4Life products shall be consistent
with the public interest, and must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical, or immoral conduct or
practices. 4Life specifically prohibits the use of mass unsolicited telephone autodialing, faxing, email (“spam”), and “boiler-
room” telemarketing operations.
Page 5 of 26
To promote both the products and the opportunity 4Life offers, Affiliates must use only the sales aids and support
materials produced by 4Life or those which have been submitted to 4Life and approved by the Company in writing. Any
changes to the material after written approval has been issued shall require that the revised material be re-submitted to
4Life and receive separate written approval before it can be used. If an Affiliate submits material to 4Life for approval, th e
request shall be deemed denied unless the Affiliate receives specific written approval. Affiliates receiving written
approval for sales aids and support materials they produce may provide such materials to other Affiliates for use. 4Life
may revoke its authorization for use of Affiliate-produced materials at its discretion, and Affiliates waive any and all
claims and causes of action against 4Life for such revocation.
MyShop
The term MyShop refers to the MyShop account offered by 4Life. MyShop accounts facilitate the easiest online
enrollment and buying experience.
Because a MyShop website resides on the 4life.com domain, 4Life reserves the right to receive analytics and
information regarding the usage of that website.
By default, MyShop website URLs are www.4life.com/ <Affiliate’s 4Life ID #>. Upon approval from 4Life’s Compliance
Department, this default ID may be changed; however, the change cannot:
a) Submit an executed External Website Sales Agreement to 4Life’s Compliance Department at [email protected], and receive 4Life’s
approval in advance of being available for public viewing;
b) Submit the content of the External Website to 4Life for approval in advance of being available for public viewing. 4Life rese rves the right
to disapprove of any External Website, and the Affiliate waives all claims against 4Life should such autho rization be rescinded;
c) Adhere to the branding and image usage policies described in these Policies;
d) Agree to modify the External Website to comply with current and future Policies;
e) Agree to terminate the External Website upon Cancellation of the Affiliate’s Affiliate Agreement.
Team Websites
An Affiliate may use team websites for the purposes of connecting, communicating, training, educating and sharing
best practices among team members.
4Life Hotlinks
When directing readers to the Affiliate’s External Website or an Affiliate’ s MyShop website, it must be evident to a
reasonable reader, from a combination of the link, and the surrounding context, that the link will be routing to the site
of an Affiliate. Attempts to mislead web traffic into believing they are going to a 4Life co rporate site, when in fact, they
land at an Affiliate’s External Website or an Affiliate’s MyShop website are not allowed. The determination as to what
is misleading or what constitutes a reasonable reader will be at 4Life’s sole discretion.
An Affiliate’s External Website may not link to any other site than a MyShop website. An Affiliate may place inbound
links to his or her External Website, but sites from which the Affiliate links must not contain any violent, hateful,
pornographic, or illegal content or any other content which may damage 4Life’s reputation. Whether content is or may
be damaging to 4Life’s reputation shall be in the sole discretion of 4Life.
Online Classifieds
An Affiliate may use online classifieds to list, sell or retail specific 4Life products or product bundles. An Affiliate may
use online classifieds for prospecting, recruiting, sponsoring and informing the public about the 4Life business. Within
the online classified text, the Affiliate must identify himself or herself as a “4Life Independent Affiliate” and provide
the content for the classified message to 4Life in advance of use for prior approval. If a link or URL is provided, it must
link to the Affiliate’s own MyShop website or the Affiliate’s External Website. The link or URL may not be linked to the
MyShop of any other Affiliate.

Banner Advertising
An Affiliate may place banner ads on a third-party website provided that the Affiliate uses 4Life-approved templates
and images. All banner advertisements must link to the Affiliate’s MyShop website or the Affiliate’s External Website.
An Affiliate may not use blind ads or web pages that make product or income claims that are ultimately associated with
4Life products or the 4Life business opportunity. Banner advertisements may not be placed on any website that
contains any violent, hateful, pornographic, or illegal content or any other content which may damage 4Life’s
reputation. Whether content is or may be damaging to 4Life’s reputation shall be in the sole discretion of 4Life.
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 forums. An Affiliate may not engage in spam
linking. This includes blog spamming, blog comment spamming, and/or spamdexing. Any comments an Affiliate makes
on blogs, forums, guest books, etc., must be unique, informative and relevant.
Social Media
Social Media may be used by an Affiliate to share information about 4Life. However, an Affiliate who elects to use Social
Media must adhere to these Policies in all respects.
Affiliates may offer to sell 4Life products on Social Media sites. Profiles t hat an Affiliate generates in any social
community where 4Life is discussed or mentioned must clearly identify the Affiliate as a “4Life Independent Affiliate,”
and when an Affiliate participates in those communities, he or she must avoid inappropriate conversations, comments,
images, video, audio, applications, or any other adult, profane, discriminatory, or vulgar content. The determination of
what is inappropriate is at 4Life’s sole discretion, and the offending Affiliate will be subject to disciplinary action. Banner
ads and images used on these sites must be current and must be approved in advance by 4Life. If a link is provided, it
must link to the posting Affiliate’s MyShop website or the Affiliate’s External Website.

Deceptive Postings
Postings that are false, misleading, or deceptive are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, fa lse or deceptive
postings relating to the 4Life business opportunity, 4Life products, and/or an Affiliate’s biographical information and
credentials.
Respecting Privacy
An Affiliate must always respect the privacy of others in postings. An Affiliate must not engage in gossip or advance
rumors about any individual, company, or competitive products.
Professionalism
An Affiliate must ensure that his or her postings are truthful and accurate. This requires that the Affiliate fact-check all
material posted online. The Affiliate should also carefully check postings for spelling, punctuation, and grammatical
errors. Use of offensive language is prohibited.
Prohibited Postings
An Affiliate may not make any postings, or link to any postings or other material that are:
a) To generate sales and/or enroll an Affiliate, a Social Media site must link only to the Affiliate’s MyShop website or the Affiliate’s External
Website.
b) Other than Pinterest and similar Social Media sites, any Social Media site that is directly or indirectly operated or control led by an Affiliate
that is used to discuss or promote 4Life products or the 4Life business opportunity may not link to any website, Social Media site, or site of
any other nature, other than the Affiliate’s MyShop website or the Affiliate’s External Website.
c) During the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) calendar months thereafter, an Affiliate may not use any Social Media
site on which he or she discusses or promotes, or has discussed or promoted, the 4Life business opportunity or 4Life product s to directly
or indirectly solicit 4Life 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 resul t in drawing an inquiry from other Affiliates
Page 9 of 26
relating to the Affiliate’s other direct selling business activities. Violation of this provision shall constitute a violatio n of the Non-Solicitation
Policy in Section 3.18.
d) If an Affiliate creates a business profile page on any Social Media site that promotes or relates to 4Life, its products, or opportunity, the
business profile page must relate exclusively to the Affiliate’s 4Life business and 4Life products. If the Affiliate’s 4Life business is cancelled
for any reason, or if the Affiliate becomes inactive, the Affiliate must deactivate the business profile page.
3.3. Participation in 4Life Corporate Marketing Efforts. 4Life encourages Affiliate participation in the Company’s
marketing efforts, and Affiliates may submit their marketing ideas to the Company. Likewise, Affiliates are encouraged
to participate in all Company-sponsored telephone calls to interact and share ideas with Company leadership as well as
other Affiliates. All submissions to the Company, including those coming by way of verbal participation in Company -
sponsored telephone calls, become the property of 4Life.
All Company-sponsored telephone calls and all other marketing materials are copyrighted material owned by 4Life and
are intended for Affiliates’ individual use. Any rebroadcast, reproduction, or distribution of this copyrighted material for
purposes other than building a 4Life business without the express written consent of 4Life is prohibited.
3.4. Telemarketing Techniques. The Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA 2010) has appointed a Personal Data
Protection Commissioner to regulate the processing of personal data in commercial transaction that restricts telemarketing
practices. When processing personal data that was given consent by the data subject, Affiliates must take practical steps to
protect the personal data from any loss, misuse, modification, unauthorized or accidental access or disclosure, alteration or
destruction. Affiliates must adhere to the strict regulations in the PDPA 2010 that applies to direct marketing which includes
telemarketing practices.
Therefore, an Affiliate must not engage in telemarketing in the operation of his or her business. The term “telemarketing”
means the placing of one or more telephone calls to an individual or entity to induce the purchase of a 4Life product or to
recruit them for the 4Life opportunity. “Cold calls” made to prospective Retail Customers or Affiliates that promote either
4Life products or the 4Life business opportunity constitute telemarketing and are prohibited. However, a telephone call or
calls placed to a prospective Retail Customer or Affiliate (a “prospect”) is permissible under the following situations:
a) If the Affiliate has an established business relationship with the prospect. An “established business relationship” is a relationshi p between
an Affiliate and a prospect based on the prospect’s purchase, rental, or lease of goods or services from the Affiliate, o r 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.
b) If the prospect has made a personal inquiry or application regarding a product offered by the Affiliate, within the three (3) months
immediately preceding the date of such a call.
c) 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 Affiliate is authorized to call.
d) An Affiliate may call family members, personal friends, and acquaintances. An “acquaintance” is someone with whom an Affiliat e has at
least a recent first-hand relationship within the preceding three (3) months. Bear in mind, however, that if the Affiliate engages in “card
collecting” with everyone he or she meets and subsequently calls them, the authority may consider this a form of telemarketing that is not
subject to this exemption. Thus, if an Affiliate engages in calling “acquaintances ,” he or she must make such calls on an occasional basis
only and not make this a routine practice.
e) An Affiliate shall not use automatic telephone dialing systems or software re lative to the operation of his or her 4Life business.
f) An Affiliate shall not place or initiate any outbound telephone call to any person that delivers any pre -recorded message (a "robocall")
regarding or relating to the 4Life products or the business opportunity.
3.5. Trademarks and Copyrights. The name of 4Life and other names as may be adopted by 4Life are proprietary trade
names, trademarks, and service marks. As such, these marks are of great value to 4Life and are supplied to Affiliates
for their use, only in an expressly authorized manner. Affiliates must include the language noted below in any materials
wherein they use 4Life’s intellectual property in connection with marketing 4Life products or the 4Life business
opportunity:
Affiliate’s Name
4Life™ Independent Affiliate
Affiliates may list themselves as a “4Life Independent Affiliate” in the white or yellow pages of the telephone directory
under their own name. No Affiliate may place telephone directory display ads using 4Life’s name or logo. Affiliates may
not answer the telephone by saying “4Life,” “4Life Research,” or in any other manner that would lead the caller to
Page 10 of 26
believe that he or she has reached 4Life’s Corporate Office. Without specific approval of 4Life, Affiliates may not use
“4Life,” “4Life Research,” or any other trademark owned by Company in any other manner in URLs that would lead a
consumer to believe that the URL is a 4Life website. Affiliates may not produce for sale, or any other purpose, any
recorded Company events and speeches without written permission from 4Life; nor may Affiliates reproduce for sale or
for personal use any recording of Company-produced audio or video tape presentations.
In accordance with an Affiliate’s strict adherence to the foregoing instruction on the use of 4Life trademarks, 4Life grants
to each Affiliate, so adhering, a nonexclusive license to use said marks. Said license may be revoked at any time at the
discretion of 4Life and will be automatically revoked upon an Affiliate’s Cancellation or termination.
3.6. Media and Media Inquiries. Affiliates must not attempt to respond to media inquiries regarding 4Life, its
products, or their independent 4Life business. All inquiries by any type of media must be immediately referred to 4Life’s
Corporate Office.
3.7. Business Entities as Affiliates. When a Business Entity (corporation, partnership, limited liability company or
trust) becomes an Affiliate, the Affiliate must submit a Business Entity Information Form along with the appropriate
Entity Documents (certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, partnership agreement,
operating agreement, trust documents or other required documents) to 4Life. A 4Life business may change its status
under the same Sponsor from an individual to a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or trust, or from
one type of entity to another. To do so, the Affiliate must provide the Entity Documents to 4Life. The Affiliate
Application must be signed by all shareholders, partners, members or trustees. Shareholders, officers, partners,
members, trustees and beneficiaries of the Business Entity are jointly and severally liable for any indebtedness or other
obligation to 4Life. The Entity Documents may be submitted to 4Life through 4Life’s Customer Service Department by mail
or by email at [email protected]. An Affiliate that is a Business Entity may change to an individual by contacting 4Life’s
Customer Service Department by phone or email at [email protected].
3.8. Changes to the 4Life Business. An Affiliate must immediately notify 4Life of all changes to the information
contained on his or her Affiliate Agreement. Affiliates may modify their existing Affiliate Agreement by submitting a
written request, a properly executed Affiliate Agreement, and appropriate supporting documentation. Changes to the 4Life
Business may be communicated to 4Life through 4Life’s Customer Service Department by phone or email at
[email protected].
3.9. Addition and Removal of Co-Applicants. When adding a co-applicant to an existing 4Life business, the Company
requires a written request as well as a properly completed Affiliate Agreement containing the applicant’s and co-
applicant’s Malaysia NRIC# and signatures. When removing a co-applicant from an existing 4Life business, the
Company requires a written and notarized request from the co -applicant, as well as a properly completed Affiliate
Agreement containing only the applicant’s Malaysia NRIC# and signature. Documents relating to adding or
removing a co-applicant may be submitted to 4Life through 4Life’s Customer Service Department by mail, fax, or
email at [email protected]. To prevent the circumvention of the “Sale, Transfer or Assignment of 4Life Business”
section (regarding transfers and assignments of 4Life business), the original applicant must remain as a party to the
Affiliate Agreement. If the original applicant wants to terminate his or her relationship with the Company, or if the
applicant and co-applicant want to change places if they are from the same Family Unit, the applicant must transfer or
assign his or her business in accordance with the “Sale, Transfer, or Assignment of 4Life Business” section of these
Policies. If this process is not followed, the business shall be cancelled upon the withdrawal of the original Affiliate.
Please note that the modifications permitted within the scope of this paragraph do not include a change of sponsorship.
Changes of sponsorship are addressed in “Change of Sponsor” section of these Policies.
4Life may, at its discretion, require notarized documents before implementing any changes to a 4Life business. Please
allow thirty (30) days after the receipt of the request by 4Life for processing.
3.10. Management of Affiliate Account. In the event a decision needs to be made regarding the management of an
Affiliate Account, and the Affiliate Account is owned by a Business Entity or by more than one person or party, 4Life
will rely upon the following for purposes of managing the Affiliate Account:
Page 11 of 26
• If the Affiliate Account is owned by any form of a Business Entity, 4Life will rely upon the Entity Documents of the Business Entity for management
decisions of the Affiliate Account. In the event the Entity Documents are not clear or if the decisions of those designated to make management
decisions do not comprise a majority, 4Life will defer management decisions to the individual noted as “Applicant” on the Affiliate Agreement.
• If the Affiliate Account is owned by more than one individual, 4Life will defer to the management decisions of the majority of the individuals. In
the event that a majority of the individuals cannot reach agreement regarding the management of the Affiliate Account, 4Life will defer
management decisions to the individual noted as “Applicant” on the Affiliate Agreement.
3.11. Change of Sponsor. The transfer of a 4Life business from one Sponsor to another is rarely permitted.
Requests for change of sponsorship must be submitted in writing to 4Life’s Corporate Office and must include the
reason for the transfer. Transfers are generally only considered in one of the following two (2) circumstances:
• Within ten (10) days of the enrollment date, the Affiliate seeking to transfer submits a properly completed “Enroller and Sponsor Transfer
Form (Within First Ten Days of Enrollment)” which includes the signature of the Affiliate seeking to transfer, the signature of the original
Sponsor, and the signature of the original Enroller.
• In cases involving fraudulent inducement or unethical sponsoring, an Affiliate may request that he or she be transferred to another
organization with his or her entire Marketing Organization intact. All requests for transfer alleging fraudulent enrollment practices shall be
evaluated on a case by case basis and must be submitted to the Company in writing within sixty (60) days from the enrollment date.
The request must include a detailed description of why the Affiliate believes his or her enrollment was fraudulently induced.
Waiver of Claims. In cases wherein the appropriate sponsorship change procedures have not been followed, and a Downline
organization has been developed under a different Affiliate for any reason, 4Life reserves the sole and exclusive right to
determine the final disposition of the Downline organization. Resolving conflicts over the proper placement of a Downline
that have developed under an organization that has improperly switched Sponsors is often extremely difficult. Therefore,
THE AFFILIATE WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST 4LIFE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS
THAT RELATE TO OR ARISE FROM 4LIFE’S DECISION REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF ANY DOWNLINE ORGANIZATION THAT
DEVELOPS BELOW AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS IMPROPERLY CHANGED LINES OF SPONSORSHIP.
3.12. Cancellation and Re-Application. An Affiliate with a high rank of Diamond Elite, Builder, Associate or lower, may
change Marketing Organizations by voluntarily canceling his or her 4Life business in accordance with Section 10.4 of
these Policies and remaining inactive (i.e., no purchases of 4Life products for resale, no sales of 4Life products, no
sponsoring, no attendance at any 4Life functions, participation in any other form of affiliate activity, or operation of
any other 4Life business) for six (6) full calendar months. Following the six-month period of inactivity, the former Affiliate
may reenroll under a new Sponsor.
An Affiliate with a high rank of Presidential or higher may change Marketing Organizations by voluntarily canceling his or her
4Life business in accordance with Section 10.4 of these Policies and remaining inactive (i.e., no purchases of 4Life products
for resale, no sales of 4Life products, no sponsoring, no attendance at any 4Life functions, participation in any other form of
affiliate activity, or operation of any other 4Life business) for twelve (12) full calendar months. Following the twelve-month
period of inactivity, the former Affiliate may reenroll under a new Sponsor.
Any change in sponsorship in accordance with this Policy at any rank is limited to one time in the Affiliate’s life. 4Life
will not accept an Affiliate Agreement for an Affiliate wishing to change sponsors beyond the first sponsor change made
in accordance with this Policy.
3.13. Indemnification for Unauthorized Claims and Actions. An Affiliate is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal
and/or written statements made regarding 4Life products and the Life Rewards Plan which are not expressly contained
in Official 4Life Materials. Affiliates agree to indemnify 4Life and hold it harmless from any and all liability including
judgments, civil penalties, refunds, attorney fees, court costs or lost business incurred by 4Life as a result of the Affiliate’s
unauthorized representations or actions. This provision shall survive the Cancellation of an Affiliate’s Affiliate
Agreement.
3.14. Product Claims. No claims as to any products offered by 4Life may be made except those contained in Official
4Life Materials. In particular, no Affiliate may make any claim that 4Life products are useful in the cure, treatment,
diagnosis, mitigation or prevention of any diseases. Such statements can be perceived as medical or drug claims. No Affiliate
may use photos or other representations of 4Life products that make implied claims that 4Life products are useful in the
cure, treatment, diagnosis, mitigation or prevention of any diseases.
Page 12 of 26
3.15. Income Claims. In their enthusiasm to enroll prospective Affiliates, some Affiliates are occasionally tempted
to make income claims or earnings representations to demonstrate the inherent power of network marketing. These
income claims or earnings representations may be in the form of lifestyle claims (including photos or other
representations that include expensive homes, automobiles, vacations, and/or money). This is counterproductive
because new Affiliates may become disappointed very quickly if their results are not as extensive or as rapid as the
results others have achieved. At 4Life, we firmly believe that the 4Life income potential is great enough to be highl y
attractive, without reporting the earnings of others.
While Affiliates may believe it beneficial to provide copies of checks or bonus reports, or to disclose the earnings of
themselves or others, such approaches have legal consequences that can negatively impact 4Life as well as the Affiliate
making the claim unless appropriate disclosures required by law are also made contemporaneously with the income claim
or earnings representation. Because Affiliates may not have the data necessary to comply with the legal requirements
for making income claims, an Affiliate, when presenting or discussing the 4Life business opportunity or the Life Rewards
Plan to a prospective Affiliate, may not make income projections or income claims or disclose his or her 4Life income
(including the showing of checks, bonus reports, copies of checks or bank statements). Affiliates are encouraged to review
the 4Life Income Disclosure Statement on 4life.com.
3.16. Commercial Outlets. 4Life strongly encourages the retailing and selling of its products through person to person
contact. Therefore, 4Life products may not be sold in department stores, chain or franchised retail outlets, mass
merchandising outlets, or any retail location with two thousand (2,000) square feet or more of retail space. However,
the Company recognizes that some Affiliates may find that selling products from small retail outlets may be beneficial.
Affiliates must request written consent from the Company in order to sell 4Life products in small, individually
owned retail outlets, and 4Life retains the discretion to restrict its products from being sold in any retail location which
it does not deem acceptable.
3.17. Trade Shows, Expositions, and Other Sales Forums. Affiliates may display and/or sell 4Life products at trade shows
and professional expositions. Affiliates may not display and/or sell 4Life products at swap meets, garage sales, flea
markets or farmer’s markets without the prior written consent of the Company. Affiliates may not display and/or sell
4Life products on internet auction sites (such as eBay), online retail websites, or e -commerce websites (such as
Amazon). Affiliates may sell 4Life products on their External Website, but only in accordance with Policies 3.2 and 5.2.
3.18. Conflicts of Interest / Non-solicitation. Affiliates are free to participate in other multilevel or network marketing
business ventures or marketing opportunities. However, during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of
twelve (12) calendar months thereafter, Affiliates shall not recruit other Affiliates into any other multilevel or network
marketing business. Because network marketing is often conducted over the telephone and via the Internet through
networks of individuals spanning Malaysia and internationally, any narrow geographic limitation on the scope of this non-
solicitation policy would render it ineffective. Therefore, this Policy shall apply to all countries where 4Life is officially
open for business. The term “recruit” means actual or attempted solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort
to influence in any way, either directly, indirectly, or through a third party, an Affiliate to enroll or participate in
another multilevel marketing, network marketing, or direct sales opportunity.
Affiliates may not display 4Life products with any other non-4Life products. If operating from a physical retail
location or an External Website, 4Life products must be displayed separately from non-4Life products. Affiliates may
not offer the 4Life business opportunity or products to prospective or existing Affilia tes in conjunction with any non-
4Life program, opportunity or product. Affiliates may not offer any non-4Life opportunity or products at any 4Life-
related meeting, seminar, or convention.
3.19. Trade Secret Information. All Downline Activity Reports and the information contained therein, and
genealogy and activity data and other information contained in an Affiliate’s MyShop website back office
(Downline Activity Reports and data contained in an Affiliate’s MyShop website back office, shall be collectively
referred to as “Downline Activity Reports”), are confidential and constitute proprietary business trade secrets
information belonging to 4Life. Downline Activity Reports are provided to Affiliates in strictest confidence and are made
available to Affiliates for the sole purpose of assisting Affiliates in working with their respective Marketing Organizations
in the development of their 4Life business. Affiliates should use their Downline Activity Reports to manage,
Page 13 of 26
motivate, and train their Downline Affiliates. The Affiliate and 4Life agree that, but for this agreement of
confidentiality and nondisclosure, 4Life will not provide Downline Activity Reports to an Affiliate. Accordingly, an
Affiliate shall not, on his or her own behalf, or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation,
limited liability company, or other entity:
• Directly or indirectly disclose any information contained in any Downline Activity Report to any third party;
• Use the information in any Downline Activity Report to compete with 4Life;
• Use a terminated Affiliate’s information to re-enroll without the express consent of the terminated Affiliate;
• Use the information in a Downline Activity Report for any purpose other than promoting his or her 4Life business;
• Use the information in any Downline Activity Report to recruit or solicit any Affiliate of 4Life listed on any Downline Activity Report for
another network marketing program, or in any manner attempt to influence or induce any Affiliate of 4Life, to alter their business
relationship with 4Life;
• Use or disclose to any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity any information contained in any Downline Activity
Report;
The provisions of this Policy shall survive the Cancellation of an Affiliate’s Affiliate Agreement with 4Life.
3.20. Cross-Group Sponsoring. Actual or attempted Cross-Group Sponsoring is strictly prohibited. “Cross-Group
Sponsoring” is defined as the enrollment—direct, indirect, or otherwise—of an individual or entity that already has a
current Affiliate Agreement on file with 4Life, or who has had such an agreement within the preceding six (6) calendar
months if Diamond Elite rank or below, or twelve (12) calendar months if Presidential rank or above anywhere
in the tree. The use of a spouse’s or relative’s name, trade names, “Doing Business As”, assumed names, corporations,
limited liability companies, partnerships, trusts, income tax numbers, fictitious identification numbers, or any other artifice
to circumvent this Policy is prohibited. This Policy shall not prohibit the transfer of a 4Life business in accordance with the
“Sale, Transfer or Assignment of 4Life Business” section of these Policies.
3.21. Errors or Questions. If an Affiliate has questions about or believes any errors have been made regarding
commissions, bonuses, Downline Activity Reports, or charges, the Affiliate must notify 4Life within sixty (60) days of the
date of the purported error or incident in question. 4Life will not be responsible for any errors, omissions, or problems
not reported within sixty (60) days.
3.22. Excess Inventory Purchases Prohibited. Affiliates are not required to carry inventory of products or sales aids.
Affiliates who carry reasonable levels of products or sales aids may find making retail sales and building a Marketing
Organization somewhat easier because of the decreased response time in fulfilling Retail Customer orders. Each
Affiliate must make his or her own decision with regard to these matters. To ensure that Affiliates are not encumbered
with excess inventory that they are unable to sell, such inventory may be returned to 4Life upon the Affiliate’s
Cancellation or termination pursuant to the “Return of Inventory and Sales Aids by Affiliates and Retail Customers”
section of these Policies.
4Life prohibits the purchase of products in unreasonable amounts solely for the purpose of qualifying for commissions,
bonuses or advancement in the Life Rewards Plan. Affiliates may not purchase more inventory than they can reasonably
resell or consume in a month, nor may they encourage others to do so.
3.23. Right of Publicity. Affiliates authorize 4Life to use their name, photograph, video and/or audio recording,
personal story, testimonial, likeness, and/or any personal material in the Company’s advertising and/or promotional
materials and waive all claims for remuneration for such use.
3.25. Income Taxes. Every year, 4Life will provide a Form CP58 (Statement of Monetary and Non-Monetary Incentive
Payment to An Agent, Dealer or Distributor Pursuant to Section 83A of the Income Tax Act 1967) to each Affiliate registered in
Page 14 of 26
Malaysia as required by the Inland Revenue Board. Each Affiliate is responsible for paying income tax or any income generated
as an Affiliate.
3.26. Independent Affiliate Status. Affiliates are independent contractors and are not purchasers of a franchise or a
business opportunity. The Agreement between 4Life and its Affiliates does not create an employer/employee
relationship, agency, partnership, or joint venture between the Company and the Affiliate. An Affiliate shall not be
treated as an employee for his or her services or for personal income tax purposes. All Affiliates are responsible for paying
income tax due from all compensation earned as an Affiliate of the Company. The Affiliate has no authority (express or
implied), to bind the Company to any obligation. Each Affiliate shall establish 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 applicable laws.
3.27. International Product Sales. 4Life has worked with various government agencies to register 4Life products
in many countries around the world. In order to protect its product registrations and abide by the import and product
registration laws of each country in which 4Life does busin ess, it is necessary that 4Life limit the international
distribution of its products. Therefore, if an Affiliate wishes to sell 4Life products or sales aids in any country where
4Life has obtained product registrations, the products that may be sold, given , transferred, imported, exported, or
distributed must be limited to only those products specifically registered in that country. The import of any other
product for resale from outside that country is prohibited.
4Life can, at its sole discretion, allow any product that is not actively registered in a specific country to be imported in that
country on a strictly not for resale basis. When imported, these products may be purchased for an Affiliate’s personal use,
but the products must not be resold.
3.28. Adherence to Laws and Ordinances. Many cities and counties have laws regulating certain home-based
businesses. In most cases, these ordinances are not applicable to Affiliates because of the nature of their businesses.
However, Affiliates must obey those laws that do apply to them. If a city or county official tells an Affiliate that an
ordinance applies to him or her, the Affiliate shall be polite and cooperative and immediately send a copy of the
ordinance to 4Life’s Compliance Department by mail or email at [email protected]. In many cases, there are
exceptions to the ordinance that apply to Affiliates.
3.29. Compliance with Laws and Ethical Standards. Affiliates shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and
regulations in the conduct of their businesses. In connection with the operation of an Affiliate’s business, the violation of
any law or any conduct that is unethical or, in 4Life’s sole discretion, may tend to damage its reputation or goodwill,
shall be grounds for disciplinary action.
3.30. One 4Life Business per Affiliate. An Affiliate may operate or have an ownership interest, legal or equitable, as a
sole proprietorship, partner, member, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary, in only one 4Life business. No individual may
have, operate or receive compensation from more than one 4Life business. Individuals of the same Family Unit who
are of legal contract age may each enter into or have an interest in their own separate 4Life business, only if each
subsequent family position is placed frontline to the first family member enrolled. A “Family Unit” is defined as spouses,
domestic partners, and dependent children living at or doing business at the same address.
3.31. Actions of Family Unit Members or Associated Individuals. If any member of an Affiliate’s Family Unit engages in any
activity which, if performed by the Affiliate named on the application, would violate any provision of the Agreement,
such activity will be deemed a violation by the Affiliate and 4Life may take disciplinary action pursuant to these Policies
against the named Affiliate. Similarly, if any individual associated in any way with a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, trust, or other entity (collectively “Affiliated Individual”) violates the Agreement, such action(s) will be
deemed a violation by the entity, and 4Life may take disciplinary action jointly and severally, against the entity, and/or each
shareholder, officer, partner, member, owner, and other members of their Family Unit.
3.32. Re-packaging and Re-Labeling Prohibited. Affiliates may not re-package, re-label, refill, or alter the labels on
any 4Life products, information, materials, or programs in any way. 4Life products must be sold in their original
containers only. Such re-labeling or re-packaging would likely violate federal and state laws, which could result in severe
Page 15 of 26
criminal penalties. Affiliates should also be aware that civil liability can arise when, as a consequence of the re-packaging or
re-labeling of products, the persons using the products suffer any type of injury or their property is damaged.
3.33. Roll-Up of Marketing Organization. Upon Cancellation of an Affiliate, 4Life may, at its discretion, move all
individuals on the first Level of the canceling Affiliate into the vacated position. The account of the terminated Affiliate may
be maintained in the original place until such a time 4Life believes all legal risk is eliminated.
3.34. Sale, Transfer, or Assignment of 4Life Business. Although a 4Life business is a privately owned, independently
operated business, the sale, transfer, or assignment of a 4Life business is subject to certain limitations. Unless
otherwise agreed to in writing, if an Affiliate wishes to sell his or her 4Life business, the following criteria must be
met:
• The Affiliate shall offer the Company the right of first refusal to purchase the business on the same terms as it would be offered to any
third party. If the Company purchases the business, it is up to the Company’s discretion whether to retain the busines s or allow a roll-up to
occur.
• Protection of the existing Line of sponsorship must always be maintained so that the 4Life business continues to be operated in that
Line of sponsorship.
• A buyer or transferee must be qualified to be an Affiliate. If the buyer is an active Affiliate, he or she must first terminate his
or her 4Life business and remain inactive in accordance with Section 3.12 of the Policies before becoming eligible for a purchase,
transfer, assignment, or acquisition of any interest in the 4Life business.
• The selling Affiliate must submit a Sale, Transfer, or Assignment of 4Life Business Form to 4Life’s Customer Service Department at
[email protected].
• Before the sale, transfer, or assignment can be finalized and approved by 4Life, any debt obligations the selling Affiliate has with 4Life must
be satisfied.
• The selling Affiliate must be in good standing, not in violation of any of the terms of the Agreement, and not under review by 4Life’s
Compliance Department in order to be eligible to sell, transfer, or assign a 4Life business.
• Prior to offering a 4Life business for sale, the selling Affiliate must notify 4Life’s Corporate Office of his or her intent to sell the 4Life business
and receive the Company’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
• The sold, transferred, or assigned Affiliate Account position will not retain recognition at the high rank obtained by the Af filiate Account
position. 4Life reserves the right to rank the purchased, transferred, or assigned Affiliate position at any rank at 4Life’s sole discretion.
• In the event that a qualification-based incentive trip has been earned by the selling, transferring, or assigning Affiliate Account position prior
to the sale, transfer, or assignment of the Affiliate Account, the purchaser, transferee, or assignee of the Affiliate Account is ineli gible to
earn the qualification-based incentive trip for the same qualification level. 4Life reserves the right to approve eligibil ity for all future incentive
trips.
4Life reserves the right to determine the successor Affiliate’s recognition rank.
3.35. Separation of a 4Life Business. Affiliates sometimes operate their 4Life businesses as husband-wife partnerships,
partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, or trusts. At such time as a marriage ends in divorce, or a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust (the latter four entities are collectively referred to in this
paragraph as “entities”) may dissolve, arrangements must be made to assure that any separation or division of the
business is accomplished so as not to adversely affect the interests and income of other businesses up or down the Line
of sponsorship. If the separating parties fail to provide for the best interests of other Affiliates and the Company,
4Life will involuntarily terminate the Affiliate Agreement and roll -up their entire Marketing Organization pursuant to
the “Roll-Up of Marketing Organization” section of these Policies. During the pendency of a divorce or entity
dissolution, the parties must adopt one of the following methods of operation:
• One of the parties may, with written consent of the other(s), operate the 4Life business pursuant to an assignment in writing whereby
the relinquishing spouse, shareholders, partners, or trustees authorize 4Life to deal directly and solely with the other spouse or non-
relinquishing shareholder, partner, or trustee; or
• The parties may continue to operate the 4Life business jointly, whereupon all compensation paid by 4Life will be paid in the joint names of
the Affiliates or in the name of the entity to be divided as the parties may independently agree between themselves.
If the parties elect neither of the foregoing, 4Life will continue to pay commissions to the same individual(s) to whom
commissions were paid prior to the filing of the divorce or dissolution proceeding.
Under no circumstances will the Marketing Organization of divorcing spouses or a dissolving business entity be divided.
Similarly, only upon 4Life approval will 4Life split commissions and/or bonuses between divorcing spouses or members
of dissolving entities. 4Life will recognize only one Affiliate Agreement. In the event that parties to a divorce or
Page 16 of 26
dissolution proceeding are unable to resolve a dispute over the disposition of commissions and ownership of the business
within six (6) months following the divorce filing or institution of dissolution proceedings, the Affiliate Agreement
may be involuntarily canceled. If a former spouse has completely relinquished all rights in his or her original 4Life
business, he or she is thereafter free to enroll under any Sponsor of their choice and need not wait before reenrolling.
If a former entity affiliate has completely relinquished all rights in his or her original 4Life business, he or she is
thereafter free to enroll under any Sponsor of their choice and need not wait before reenrolling.
In divorce and entity dissolution cases, the relinquishing party(s) shall have no rights to any Affiliates in their former
Marketing Organization. They must develop the new business in the same manner as would any other new Affiliate.
3.36. Sponsoring. All Active Affiliates in good standing have the right to sponsor and enroll others into 4Life. Each
prospective Affiliate has the ultimate right to choose his or her own Sponsor. If multiple Affiliates claim to be the Sponsor
of the same Affiliate, the Company shall regard the first enrollment received by the Company as controlling.
3.37. Transfer Upon Death of an Affiliate. Upon the death of an Affiliate, his or her business 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 4Life business is transferred by a will or other testamentary process, the executor
of the estate must provide 4Life with letters testamentary or other court -approved documents establishing the
executor’s authority, and written instructions for the disposition of the business. Befor e the beneficiary may acquire
the right to collect all bonuses and commissions of the deceased Affiliate’s Marketing Organization and operate the
business, the beneficiary must:
• Execute and submit an Affiliate Agreement and other applicable enrollment forms and documents. All commission payments will
be issued to the individual or entity listed on the Affiliate Agreement;
• Provide an original death certificate and a notarized copy of the will or other instrument establishing the successor’s right to the 4Life
business; and
• Comply with terms and provisions of the Agreement.
4Life reserves the right to determine the successor Affiliate’s recognition rank.
3.38. Transfer Upon Incapacitation of an Affiliate. To request a transfer of a 4Life business because of an Affiliate’s
incapacity, the trustee must provide the following to 4Life: (1) a copy of the court order appointing the individual as
trustee for the incapacitated Affiliate’s business; (2) written instructions from the trustee; and (3) a completed
Affiliate Agreement executed by the trustee. The trustee must then:
• Operate the business in compliance with terms and provisions of the Agreement; and
• Meet all of the qualifications for the incapacitated Affiliate’s status in order to be paid at that rank. If the trustee fails to achieve the rank
maintained by the Affiliate, the business will be paid at the rank at which it actually qualifies during each bonus period.
4Life reserves the right to determine the successor Affiliate’s recognition rank.
3.39. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009. Section 17A of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act
2009 which came into force on 1 June 2020 makes it an offence for a company to conduct an act of corruption,
bribery or make other improper payments in connection with any of its business transactions with anoth er party.
The “other party”, in this context, may be an Affiliate or any other person with whom 4Life engages in business
relations with.
4Life is committed to conduct its business professionally, ethically and with the highest standard of integrity. In
compliance with this Act and other applicable laws on anti -bribery and corruption, 4Life has implemented an anti -
corruption system to address and manage the risk of corruption within the organi zation, and more importantly, to
protect the interests of 4Life Affiliates.
Where there is a suspicion of corruption or bribery within the organi zation, Affiliates should submit a written report
of the violation directly to the attention of Mark Ostler ( [email protected]), Kathryn Olson ([email protected]) or
Jeff Kalinin ([email protected]). Details of the incident such as dates, number of occurrences, persons involved, and
Page 17 of 26
any supporting documentation should be included in the report. All information will be treated in the strictest
confidence in accordance with the law.
4. Responsibilities of Affiliates
4.1 Understanding the 4Life Business Model. 4Life is a direct selling company. 4Life products are sold by Affiliates
to Retail Customers in one-on-one, interpersonal transactions which provide time for explanation and guidance on
4Life products. The role of an Affiliate who chooses to build a 4Lif e business is to sell 4Life products to Retail
Customers and enroll Affiliates exclusively using a direct-selling model of distribution.
4.2. Change of Address or Telephone. To ensure timely delivery of products, support materials, and commissions, it
is critically important that 4Life’s records are current. Affiliates planning to move should provide 4Life’s Corporate Office
with their new address and telephone number. To guarantee proper delivery, two (2) weeks’ advance notice must be
provided to 4Life of all changes.
4.3. Continuing Development and Ongoing Training. Any Affiliate who is the Sponsor or Enroller of another Affiliate
is encouraged to perform a bona fide supervisory function to ensure that his or her Downline is properly operating his
or her 4Life business. Affiliates are encouraged to have ongoing contact, communication and supervision of the Affiliates
in their Marketing Organization. Examples of such contact and supervision may include, but are not limited to:
newsletters, written correspondence, personal meetings, telephone contact, voice mail, email, and the
accompaniment of Downline Affiliates to 4Life meetings, training sessions, and other functions. Upline Affiliates are also
encouraged to motivate and train new Affiliates in 4Life product knowledge, effective sales techniques, the Life Rewards
Plan, and compliance with these Policies.
4.4. Increased Training Responsibilities. As Affiliates progress through the various levels of leadership, they will
become more experienced in sales techniques, product knowledge, and understanding of 4Life products and Life
Rewards Plan. They may be called upon to share this knowledge with lesser experienced Affiliates within their Marketing
Organization.
4.5. Ongoing Sales Responsibilities. Regardless of their level of achievement, Affiliates are encouraged to continue to
personally promote product sales through the generation of new Retail Customers and Affiliates and through servicing
their existing Retail Customers and Affiliates.
4.6. Non-Disparagement. 4Life wants to provide its Affiliates with superior products, a superior compensation plan
and service in the industry. Accordingly, 4Life values constructive criticisms and comments from Affiliates. All such
comments should be submitted in writing to 4Life’s Customer Service Department at [email protected]. While 4Life
welcomes constructive input, negative comments and remarks made by Affiliates about the Company, its products, or
compensation plan serve no purpose other than to sour the enthusiasm of other Affiliates. For this reason, and to
set the proper example for their Downline organization, Affiliates must not disparage, demean, or make negative
remarks about 4Life, other Affiliates, 4Life products, the Life Rewards Plan, or 4Life directors, officers, or employees.
4.7. Providing Documentation to Applicants. Affiliates should provide the most current version of these Policies and
the Life Rewards Plan to individuals whom they are sponsoring to become Affiliates before the applicant signs an
Affiliate Agreement. Additional copies of these Policies can be acquired from 4Life and at malaysia.4life.com.
4.8. Reporting Policy Violations. Affiliates observing a violation of these Policies by another Affiliate should submit a
written report of the violation directly to the attention of 4Life’s Compliance Department by mail or email at
[email protected]. Details of the incident such as dates, number of occurrences, persons involved, and any
supporting documentation should be included in the report.
Page 18 of 26
5. Sales Requirements
5.1. Product Sales. The Life Rewards Plan is based upon the sale of 4Life products to Retail Customers and
Affiliates. Affiliates must fulfill Life Point sales requirements as outlined in the Life Rewards Plan (as well as meet other
responsibilities set forth in the Agreement) to be eligible for bonuses, commissions, and advancement to higher levels
of achievement.
5.2. No Price or Territory Restrictions. With regard to selling 4Life products, there are no exclusive territories granted to
anyone, and no franchise fees are required. In person-to-person transactions and on their MyShop website, Affiliates are not
required to sell 4Life products at the Retail Price but may sell 4Life products at any price equal to or greater than 4Life’s
Wholesale Price. However, Affiliates who wish to sell 4Life products on their External Website are required to sell 4Life
products at the Retail Price (unless their External Website links directly to the Affiliate’s own MyShop website), submit an
executed External Website Sales Agreement to 4Life’s Compliance Department at [email protected], and receive 4Life’s
approval. Affiliates may not sell product packs comprised of more than one product on their External Website.
To circumvent this Policy, an Affiliate is prohibited from enlisting, assisting, or knowingly allowing a non-4Life Affiliate third
party to facilitate selling 4Life products on any External Website, internet auction website (such as eBay), online store, e-
commerce website or third-party sales forum (such as Amazon). Affiliates are encouraged to facilitate their product sales
through their MyShop website, and such sales will be automatically priced at 4Life’s Wholesale Price.
5.3. Sales Receipts. If an Affiliate sells any 4Life product from his or her inventory or on his or her External Website,
he or she should give the Retail Customer a copy of a 4Life retail sales receipt at the time of the sale and explain the
Retail Customer’s right to cancel the transaction as set forth on the sales receipt. Affiliates must maintain all retail sales
receipts for a period of two (2) years and furnish them to 4Life at the Company’s request. Records documenting the
purchases of Affiliates’ customers who purchase directly from 4Life will be maintained by 4Life.
6.2. Adjustment to Bonuses and Commissions for Returned Products. Affiliates receive bonuses and commissions
based on the actual sales of products to Retail Customers and Affiliates. When a product is returned to 4Life for a refund
or is repurchased by the Company, the bonuses and commissions attributable to the returned or repurchased product(s)
will be deducted in the month in which the refund is given or will be withheld from any bonus, commission, or other
amount owed by the Company. Deductions will continue every bonus period thereafter until the commission is
recovered from the Affiliates who received bonuses and commissions on the sales of the refunded goods.
6.3. Unclaimed Commissions and Credits. With regard to unclaimed commissions and credits for terminated Affiliates,
the Company adheres to escheat laws of each state, which may include a transaction fee in favor of 4Life.
7.2. Products Returned by Retail Customers. If a Retail Customer purchased a product from an Affiliate, the Retail
Customer must return the product to that Affiliate. The Affiliate may then return it to the Company for a refund or
Page 19 of 26
replacement (the Affiliate returning the product is responsible for all shipping charges). The product must be shipped to 4Life
within ten (10) days from the date on which the Retail Customer returned the merchandise to the Affiliate and must be
accompanied by the sales receipt that the Affiliate gave to the Retail Customer at the time of the sale.
If a Retail Customer purchased the product directly from the Company, the product should be returned directly to the
Company (the Retail Customer returning the product is responsible for all shipping charges).
7.3. Return of Inventory and Sales Aids by Affiliates. An Affiliate shall be given not less than ten (10) working days from
the date of recruitment to cancel the Affiliate account. Upon cancellation, the Affiliate shall be refunded all payment as
specified in the Affiliate Agreement.
Upon cancellation of an Affiliate’s Agreement, the Affiliate may return inventory and sales aids purchased within six (6) months
prior to the date of cancellation for a refund. An Affiliate may only return products and sales aids purchased by him or her that
are in resalable or marketable condition. Upon receipt of the products and sales aids, the Affiliate will be reimbursed at a price
not less than ninety per centum (90%) of the amount paid. If the purchases were made through credit card, the refund will be
credited back to the said credit card. The Company shall deduct from the reimbursement paid to the Affiliate any commissions,
bonuses, rebates or other incentives received by the Affiliate which were associated with the merchandise that is returned.
Products and sales aids are “Resalable” and “Marketable Condition” if each of the following elements is satisfied: (1)
they are unopened and unused; (2) the products’ packaging and labeling have not been altered or damaged; (3) the
products bear a current label; (4) products have not exceeded their expiration date; (5) products have not been
discontinued; and (6) products are returned to 4Life within six (6) months from the date of purchase.
In situations deemed appropriate by 4Life, the Company may institute legal proceedings for monetary and/or equitable
relief.
8.2. Grievances and Complaints. When an Affiliate has a grievance or complaint with another Affiliate regarding
any practice or conduct in relationship to their respective 4Life businesses, the complaining Affiliate should report the
situation in writing to 4Life’s Compliance Department by mail or by email at [email protected].
8.3. Appeals of Sanctions. Following the issuance of a sanction (other than a suspension pending an investigation),
the disciplined Affiliate may appeal the sanction to the Company. The Affiliate’s appeal must be in writing and received by
4Life’s Compliance Department within fifteen (15) days from the date of 4Life’s sanction notice. If the appeal is not
received by 4Life within the fifteen (15) day period, the sanction will be final. The Affiliate must submit all supporting
documentation with his or her appeal correspondence and specify in full detail the reasons why he or she believes the
Company’s initial determination was erroneous. If the Affiliate files a timely appeal of the sanction, the Company will
Page 20 of 26
review and reconsider the Cancellation, consider any other appropriate action and notify the Affiliate in writing of its
decision.
8.4. Dispute Resolution/Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the
breach thereof, shall be settled, insofar as it is possible, by mutual consultation and consent. If the parties should be
unable to reach mutual consent within thirty (30) days after the notice by any party of dispute the question shall be
settled by arbitration in accordance with UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules by an arbitrator to be appointed by the Director of
the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration within (30) days after the expiry of the aforesaid period. The place of
arbitration shall be in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore – if a neutral venue is preferred.
Each party to the arbitration shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses of arbitration, including legal and filing
fees. The decision of the arbitration be final and binding on the part ies and may be enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitration shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement.
Nothing in the Agreement shall prevent 4Life from applying to and obtaining from any court having j urisdiction a writ of
summons, an interim injunction, interlocutory injunction, permanent injunction or other relief available to safeguard
and protect 4Life’s interest prior to, during or following the filing of any arbitration or other proceeding or pend ing the
rendering of a decision or award in connection with any arbitration or other proceeding.
Damage Limitation. In any action arising from or relating to this Agreement, the parties waive all claims for incidental
and/or consequential damages, even if the other party has been apprised of the likelihood of such damage. The parties
further waive all claims to exemplary or punitive damages.
Liquidated Damages. In any case which arises from or relates to the wrongful termination of Affiliate’s Agreement a nd/or
independent business, the parties agree that damages will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, the parties
stipulate that if the involuntary termination of an Affiliate’s Agreement and/or loss of their independent business held
to be pursuant to a breach of contract or otherwise wrongful termination under any theory of law, Affiliate’s maximum
sole remedy shall be liquidated damages calculated as follows:
• For Affiliates at the “Paid As” rank of Diamond Elite or lower, liquidated damages shall be in the amount of his/her gross compensation
that he/she earned pursuant to the Life Rewards Plan in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination.
• For Affiliates at the “Paid As” rank of Presidential through Silver Elite, liquidated damages shall be in the amount of his/her gross
compensation that he/she earned pursuant to the Life Rewards Plan in the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding the termination.
• For Affiliates at the “Paid As” ranks of Gold through Platinum Elite, liquidated damages shall be in the amount of his/her gross
compensation that he/she earned pursuant to the Life Rewards Plan in the twenty-four (24) months immediately preceding the
termination.
Gross compensation shall include commissions and bonuses earned by the Affiliate pursuant to the Life Rewards Plan as
well as retail profits earned by Affiliate for the sale of 4Life products. However, retail profits must be substantiated by
providing the Company with true and accurate copies of fully and properly completed sales receipts provided by Affiliate
to Retail Customers at the time of the sale.
The parties agree that the foregoing liquidated damage schedule is fair and reas onable.
An Affiliate’s “Paid As” rank is the rank or title at which they actually qualified to earn compensation under the Life
Rewards Plan during a bonus period. For purposes of this Policy, the relevant bonus period to determine a n Affiliate’s
“Paid As” rank is the bonus period one month prior to the month the Affiliate’s business is placed on suspension or
terminated, whichever occurs first. The “Paid As” rank differs from the “High Rank,” which is the highest rank that an
Affiliate has ever achieved under the Life Rewards Plan.
8.5. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue. Jurisdiction and venue of any matter not subject to arbitration shall
reside exclusively in Malaysia. The law of Malaysia shall govern all other matters relating to or arising from the
Agreement.

9.1. Purchasing 4Life Products. Each Affiliate should purchase his or her products directly from 4Life. If an Affiliate
purchases products from another Affiliate or any other source, the purchasing Affiliate may not receive the Life Points
associated with that purchase.
9.2. General Order Policies. On orders with invalid or incorrect payment or other general issues, 4Life will attempt
to contact the Affiliate. If these attempts are unsuccessful after five (5) business days, the order will be cancelled.
9.3. Shipping Policy. 4Life will normally ship products within one (1) business day from the date on which it receives
an order. 4Life will expeditiously ship any part of an order currently in stock.
9.4. Confirmation of Order. An Affiliate and/or recipient of an order must confirm that the product received matches
the product listed on the shipping invoice and is free of damage. Failure to notify 4Life of any shipping discrepancy or
damage within thirty (30) days of shipment will cancel an Affiliate’s right to request a correction.
9.5. Payment and Shipping Deposits. No monies should be paid to or accepted by an Affiliate for a sale except at the
time of product delivery. Affiliates should not accept monies to be held for deposit in anticipation of future deliveries.

to enroll Affiliates or to make purchases from the Company; likewise, Affiliates shall not permit other Affiliates or Retail
Customers to use their credit cards or permit debits to their bank accounts to enroll or to make purchases from the
Company.
An Affiliate’s bonuses and commissions constitute the entire consideration for the Affiliate’s efforts in generating
product sales and all activities related to generating product sales (including, but not limit ed to, building a Marketing
Organization). Following an Affiliate’s non-continuation of his or her Affiliate Agreement, cancellation for inactivity, or
voluntary or involuntary cancellation (termination) of his or her Affiliate Agreement (all of these meth ods are
collectively referred to as “Cancellation”), the former Affiliate shall have no right, title, claim, or interest to the Downline
Marketing Organization which he or she operated, or any commission or bonus from the product sales generated by
the Marketing Organization. Affiliates waive any and all rights, including, but not limited to, property rights, in the
Marketing Organization which they may have had. Following an Affiliate’s Cancellation of his or her Affiliate Agreement,
the former Affiliate shall not hold him or herself out as a 4Life Affiliate and shall not have the right to sell 4Life products.
An Affiliate whose Affiliate Agreement is cancelled shall receive commissions and bonuses only for the last full bonus
period he or she worked and qualified prior to Cancellation (less any amounts withheld during an investigation preceding
an involuntary Cancellation).
10.2. Cancellation Due to Inactivity. Affiliates who produce less than the required Principal Volume (or “PV”) as
outlined in the Life Rewards Plan for any bonus period will not receive a commission for the sales generated through
their Marketing Organization for that bonus period. If an Affiliate has not generated any Principal Volume for a period
of six (6) consecutive calendar months (and thus becomes “inactive”), his or her Affiliate Agreement shall be canceled
for inactivity following the last day of the sixth (6th) month of inactivity. Written confirmation of the Cancellation will not
be provided by 4Life.

10.3. Involuntary Cancellation (Termination). An Affiliate’s violation of any of the terms of the Agreement, including any
amendments that may be made by 4Life in its sole discretion, may result in disciplinary actions being taken against the
Affiliate at 4Life’s discretion. Such disciplinary actions may include, but are not limited to, the involuntary Cancellation
of the offending Affiliate’s 4Life Agreement and business. If the Affiliate’s 4Life Agreement and business is
cancelled, the Cancellation shall be effective on the date on which written notice is mailed, faxed, or delivered to an
express courier, addressed to the Affiliate’s last known address or that of his or her attorney, emailed to the Affiliate’s
email address on file with the Company, or when the Affiliate receives actual notice of Cancellation, whichever occurs
first. 4Life reserves the right to withhold and/or permanently retain funds and prevent any roll-up depending on
the individual circumstances surrounding each case.
10.4. Voluntary Cancellation. An Affiliate has a right to cancel at any time for any reason. Cancellation must be
submitted in writing by mail, facsimile, or email to the Company at its principal business address. The written notice
must include the Affiliate’s signature, printed name, address, and 4Life Identification Number. If an Affiliate wishes to
re-enroll, such re-enrollment must be in accordance with Section 3.12 of these Policies.
