Summary: Sale/promotion of business support material to non-personally sponsored IBO is LEGAL and IS ACCEPTABLE

4.14. Other Selling Activities: Except as provided in Rule 6.5., IBOs may engage in other business ventures, including other selling activities, involving products, services, or business opportunities not offered or marketed by the Corporation. However, IBOs may not take advantage of their knowledge of or association with other IBOs whom they did not personally register, including their knowledge resulting from or relating to their individual lines of sponsorship, in order to promote and expand such other business ventures. Such conduct constitutes an unwarranted and unreasonable interference with the business of other IBOs and the Corporation.

4.14.1. Every IBO agrees not to solicit, directly or indirectly, other IBOs whom he or she did not personally register in order to sell, offer to sell, or promote other products, services, or business opportunities not offered or marketed by the Corporation.

4.14.2. Every IBO agrees not to sell, offer to sell, or promote any other business opportunities, products, or services in connection with the Corporation’s Sales and Marketing Plan.

4.14.3. Nothing in Subsection 4.14.2 restricts the sale or distribution of privately developed Support Materials (“SM”), Business Support Materials (“BSM”), and Product Support Materials (“PSM”) in accordance with Rule 7.

4.14.4. Nothing in this Rule 4.14. restricts, for example, an IBO regularly engaged in the operation of a service station, auto dealership, retail establishment, salon, or a professional service (e.g., law, medicine, dentistry, or accounting) from serving clients or customers who are IBOs and who have sought them out. But an IBO shall not actively solicit the patronage of other IBOs based on knowledge or information gained as a result of being an IBO.
