I am of legal age in my nation of residence. I understand that as an NPUSA Affiliate (AF), I may cancel this agreement at any time regardless of reason by written or electronic email notice to NPUSA. I also understand that my acceptance as an AF is not automatic, but is subject to the receipt and acceptance of my Affiliate Application by NPUSA at its home office in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
- 2.
-
I agree that I am an Independent Contractor, responsible for determining my own business activities without control or direction from NPUSA. I am not an agent, employee or legal representative of NPUSA. I am responsible for the payment of all federal and state self-employment taxes, and other taxes required by any federal, state, or local taxing agency.
- 3.
- I will not make any false or misleading or disparaging statements about NPUSA, its products, the NPUSA opportunity, or NPUSA officers, employees, customers or other AFs.
- 4.
-
I will not use the NPUSA name, or the NPUSA trade names, logos, sales materials, company-related literature, trademarks, or any website content, except in materials provided by NPUSA or approved in writing by NPUSA prior to their use by me. I understand that unauthorized use or duplication of trade names, trademarks and copyrighted materials is a violation of U.S. federal law.
- 5.

NPUSA is the owner and exclusive licensee of numerous names and trademarks, including but not limited to “NATURALLY PLUS”, “NATURALLY PLUS USA”, and other names and marks of or licensed to NPUSA, all of which are exclusively owned and/or licensed by NPUSA. I have no ownership or use rights or interests therein by virtue of this agreement or otherwise. NPUSA hereby grants a limited license to AFs to use the names and marks of NPUSA in their AF business and subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement. AF recognizes the value of the goodwill NPUSA and its licensors have created with their names and marks, and acknowledges that hereafter the names and marks and all rights therein and all goodwill pertaining thereto belong exclusively to NPUSA and its licensors.

AF must renew their AF status each twelve months. NPUSA may charge an automatic annual renewal fee applicable to all AFs.

In order to maintain a viable marketing program and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and economic conditions, NPUSA Policies & Procedures are an integral part of these Terms & Conditions and are incorporated into these Terms & Conditions. NPUSA may amend these Terms & Conditions and the AF Policies & Procedures; such amendments become a part of the AF Agreement when published on the official NPUSA corporate website. I understand that no attorney general or other regulatory authority ever reviews, endorses or approves any product, commission program or company, and I will make no such claims regarding NPUSA.
- 9.
-
I have carefully read and agree to comply with the NPUSA Affiliate Compensation Plan which, together with all future modifications thereto, is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. I understand that I must be in good standing, and not in violation of these Terms & Conditions, to be eligible for participation in the NPUSA Compensation Plan. I understand that the Compensation Plan may be amended at the sole discretion of NPUSA and I agree that any such amendments will apply to me. Notification of amendments to the Compensation Plan shall be in effect upon their publication on the Official NPUSA website. The continuation of my business or my acceptance of commissions shall each constitute my acceptance of all amendments.
- 10.
- I acknowledge that no representations or guarantees have been made to me by NPUSA, its officers, AFs or any representative of the company concerning how much money I may or will earn as an NPUSA AF.
- 11.
-
I understand that my AF position may be inherited or bequeathed and may be transferred or assigned during my lifetime upon the prior written consent of NPUSA and upon the terms and conditions set by NPUSA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. AF agrees to obtain all governmental licenses and permits applicable to their business activities as an AF and agrees to abide by all local, state and federal laws that apply to their NPUSA AF business and in the marketing of NPUSA products.

- 15.
-
Trademarks, Trade Names, Symbols, Copyrights and online Social Media limit AF communication online within “open” social media platforms. The Symbols or defined “marks” are significant and valuable business assets of NPUSA. They help identify the foundation and reputation of the Company’s products and services worldwide and distinguish them from competitors. If and when a trademark or symbol is used improperly or is used by someone other than its owner, the value and importance of the trademark may be greatly diminished. Once a trademark is weakened or lost, it is impossible to regain its full value and importance. Therefore, NPUSA makes every effort to protect the symbols, label graphics and designs, marks, and various product names so that others cannot replicate them or use them. Several policies have been set forth and have been developed to maintain the integrity of the marks and to ensure that the marks will be available exclusively for the Company’s business. Any and all internet communication platforms including but not limited to Facebook pages, Twitter pages, YouTube pages, LinkedIn pages among others, shall not be launched as a company page or website and must not contain the Company’s trademark(s). Online Social Networks, generally speaking, are to be used as platforms to communicate with people you know. Any dissemination of company material or independent claims made via social networks, videos, communication threads, texts -- via social networks, blogs, links, posts, other websites (URLs), podcasts or any other social related platform that resembles solicitation or product claims -- is strictly prohibited and in violation of these
Terms and Conditions and is subject to the penalties listed below.
- Penalties: An Affiliate who violates Company trademark status or any other Company Intellectual Property or does not conform to the standards listed above must cancel and remove improper online social communication and/or solicitation advertising immediately and be subject to the following:
- AF may be liable for monetary damages to the Company for unauthorized use of the names and marks, and may be subject to disciplinary action by the Company.
- Questions: If you are uncertain and would like to speak with NPUSA on these matters, please email info@npusainc.com.
- 16.
- AFs may not sell products on any Internet site, directly or indirectly, by auction or where the customer price is less than their wholesale AF cost plus applicable sales taxes and shipping and handling fees.
- 17.
- I understand that if I fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement, NPUSA may impose upon me disciplinary action(s) as it determines at its sole discretion.
- 18.
- I hereby indemnify and hold NPUSA harmless from my actions and omissions as an NPUSA AF.
