Unsuspecting Distributors Have Lost Everything

What is your success worth to you? Is it worth reading your company's policies and procedures (P&P)? I've written about this before, but I think this is of the utmost importance so I'm bringing it up again. This can't be emphasized enough…READ, READ, READ your P&P. Many unsuspecting distributors have lost everything because they didn't read their policies and procedures. This should be the very first thing that you do when you join a company. If you haven't read your P&P, then do it now!

When you sign the company affiliate agreement you are signing a legal and binding document, so make sure you understand what you are agreeing to. In May 2009 a letter was sent out to unsuspecting distributors that the company was no longer offering the network marketing compensation model. You can read about it at Newsflash: Could This Happen to You?

Line item #5 of the company's Affiliate agreement reads:

The company "reserves the right to terminate this agreement, and all associated agreements (including, without limitation, the marketing incentive programs), upon 30 days written notice, with or without cause."

This statement would not be in the agreement if they didn't intend to use it. And they did use it. This is why it is so important that we as network marketing professionals read our company's policies and procedures.

Did You Read Your Network Marketing Company's Policies & Procedures?

When you start your network marketing home business you agree to your company's policies and procedures (P&P). You may not have to sign on the dotted line but you do have to check a box saying that you read and agree to them. Many people just click on this box and never read the P&P. It is very important to read and understand what you are signing. The Policies and Procedures are a legal contract between you and your network marketing company.

I was researching a company and wanted to find out more about it because the claims were just too good to be true. There were all kinds of testimonies on how quickly you could make "big money" and how simple it is to do…the "system" does it for you. Throughout the page there were places to enter your name and email for more information. Of course I didn't complete it. Since I know to read the company's P&P before doing anything else, I went down to the bottom of the page where I found this statement…

"By entering your details above you are agreeing to our:
Disclaimer - Terms of Use - Income Disclaimer - Privacy Policy"

Let me bring this to your attention: when you enter your name and email in one of the boxes throughout the page you agree to the "Disclaimer-Terms of Service-Income Disclaimer-Privacy Policy". You don't even have to click on a box saying that you read them and agreed to them. You enter into the agreement when you enter your information.

I clicked on "disclaimer" and was shocked when I read this clause…

"ALL WEB SITES, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED, AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. OUR COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE, OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE, OF THE WEB SITES, PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR WRITTEN MATERIALS IN THE TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, CURRENTNESS OR OTHERWISE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE WEB SITES, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE ASSUMED BY YOU. IF THE WEB SITES, PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR WRITTEN MATERIALS ARE DEFECTIVE, YOU, AND NOT OUR COMPANY, ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION."

WOW! YOU, not the company, will assume the entire cost of all necessary services, repairs or correction if the web sites, products, services or written materials are defective. You are responsible for the company's "screw ups". Does this shock you? Does this sound like a company with integrity? Is this a company that you want to build your business with?

Did you read your network marketing company's policies and procedures? If you haven't don't you think you should?
