Game over for TEAM?

A judge has ruled in favor of Quixtar in all three lawsuits, effectively crushing the chances of an easy exit for Orrin Woodward’s TEAM and the high level Quixtar leaders that followed him out of the company.

  1. Woodward and company can not contact their TEAM IBO’s for any business related purpose.
  2. Woodward and company can not talk about events and happening that took place at Quixtar association functions. (This effectively keeps Woodward, Haugen, Brady, Wilson and co. from spilling the beans about information that they know would damage Quixtar if the average IBO found out the details).
  3. TEAM and Co. can no longer sell any support materials to Quixtar affiliated IBOs.

In other words, TEAM is OUT OF BUSINESS.  Woodward and company will do whatever they can to hold it all together, including what I saw recently as an obvious and scary ploy to bring TEAM associates together by relating Biblical examples to Orrin Woodward’s fight against Quixtar.

Here is a copy of Quixtar’s press release:

Complete defeat for Woodward and other terminated TEAM distributors in Quixtar court battle

Judge says dismissed IBOs cannot use company and trade group info; Quixtar allowed to enforce its rules of conduct

ADA, Mich.—Three Michigan court rulings today left dismissed
distributor Orrin Woodward and his Team organization without a single
legal victory, as a judge ruled that he and a group of terminated
distributors cannot misuse the business information of Quixtar, the
company that dismissed them last week.

In ruling on three motions related to the terminations, Judge Paul
Sullivan of Kent County Circuit Court took the following actions:

  • Issued a preliminary injunction preventing Woodward and his
    company, Team, from using Quixtar business data to recruit Quixtar IBOs
    as Team builds a competing business;
  • Issued a second injunction ordering Woodward and other terminated
    distributors to return confidential documents and data they had taken
    from their former trade association, which has suspended them; and
  • Denied an injunction request from others who sought to prevent Quixtar from enforcing its rules of conduct.

“These legal defeats to Orrin Woodward represent a victory for
hundreds of thousands of Quixtar independent business owners who are
building their businesses the right way, selling quality products and
introducing consumers to the Quixtar business opportunity,” said
Quixtar Executive Vice President Jim Payne.

Since his termination, Woodward has engaged in a campaign of PR
spamming, engaging a class-action law firm and filing numerous
duplicative lawsuits around the country. The company said it would
defend itself against Woodward’s abuse of the legal system.

“After these defeats, Mr. Woodward’s credibility is down to zero,”
said Quixtar spokesman Rob Zeiger. “Woodward has ignored our rules,
abused the legal process, defied the court, and misled the people who
believed in him.

“We stand by our main point: Terminating Orrin Woodward and ridding
Quixtar of his abusive business practices was absolutely the right
thing to do.”
