GBG Independent Representative/Customer Agreement

I hereby apply to become a representative of the GBG Corporation (hereinafter "Company") marketing and/or customer program.

As an independent representative, I understand and agree that:

The terms and conditions listed below will apply to any participant with purchases of products.
Independent Representative (IR) and Customers Terms & Conditions Enrollment

(1.) Enrollment in GBG is FREE. As a customer, you are free to order product on a regular autoship basis or sporadically. An enrollee in GBG that would like to be eligible for commissions and bonuses is required to maintain and purchase a product on monthly auto-ship from GBG plus processing fee and state tax., which includes a free IR position.
(2.) Payment for Monthly Autoship must be by Credit Card (Master Card, Visa or Discover) or ACH. Forms of payment for product packages at GBG Sponsored Events are: check, bank draft, money order, cashiers check (made payable to GBG) or credit card (Mastercard, Visa or Discover). Applications submitted without payment information will not be processed.
(3.) Agreement This Agreement shall be deemed in effect upon its receipt and acceptance by GBG in Vacaville, CA. IR understands the Gold and Platinum Position with required product purchase is refundable for 3 business days. If IR cancels within the 3 business days a full refund (less any commissions paid out) is issued. Any commissions that have been paid to the Upline will be charged back on future commission payments. Complete membership kit and a signed release form must be returned prior to refund being issued. Any outstanding monies owed to GBG through chargebacks and outstanding debits will be deducted from any requested refund before a check is processed and sent. If the chargeback owed to GBG exceeds the refund amount, then no refund will be given.
(4.) Accuracy I certify the accuracy of all information provided by me in this Agreement and agree that the providing of false or misleading information authorizes GBG at its election, to declare this Agreement void from its inception.
(5.) Membership Status Member must be 18 years of age, and therefore of legal age, and legally competent in their state of occupancy. IR understands and agrees that he/she is an Independent Contractor responsible for determining his/her own business activities and time spent and is not an agent, employee, partner, franchisee or legal representative of GBG. No GBG Independent Representative, regardless of title or position, is authorized to speak for, act on behalf of, or otherwise obligate GBG in any manner. Individuals, business corporations or partnerships joining GBG using an Employment Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) may not hold interest in multiple positions by the use of multiple EIN’s or a SSN and an EIN. IR is responsible for the payment of all federal and state self-employment taxes and any other tax required under any federal, state or regulatory or taxing agency. All members must have a valid address in the U.S., Canada or U.S. Province. Members must provide a valid Social Security, EIN number or Tax ID number in order to be paid any commissions or bonuses.
(6.) Lifetime Membership The Lifetime Membership, with monthly requirements, utilizes all Terms and Conditions set forth in the New Members Booklet and the IR Agreement. Commissions are contingent upon a monthly requirement for personal sales. If the requirement is not met, pay will not be released for that month. When the monthly requirement is met, pay will resume, though not retroactively. Neither Taxes or Shipping and Handling are counted towards the monthly sales requirement. If the monthly requirement is not met for a consecutive period of 6 months, the Lifetime Membership will be terminated. If an IR terminates their membership for whatever reason, the lifetime membership status is terminated.
(7.) Provisions GBG provides the following fulfillment to the Independent Representative: shipment of ordered products within ten business days of the receipt of the order and clearance of funds subject to availability of items ordered. Payment terms on IR purchases: cash, credit card, ACH, bank draft, check or money order. IR commissions are paid pursuant to the GBG Compensation Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference and a full description of which is in the New Members Booklet.
(8.) Product/Orders In the event I choose to purchase GBG products on my credit card or banking debit card, my signature on this Agreement hereby constitutes my authorization to process any order I place to those accounts, and to use this as my “signature on file”. IR’s and their direct customers may choose to have product sent to them on a monthly automatically shipped order (auto ship). If the regular monthly auto ship order falls on a U.S. holiday or weekend the order will be processed within five days. The credit card, ACH or bank draft listed on the account will automatically be charged for this order. Orders with declined bank drafts and ACH, or orders with declined or expired credit cards will not be processed. Attempts may be made by GBG to reprocess the order should a credit card decline, however, GBG makes no assurances that these attempts will be made. The IR and/or customer is responsible for providing current payment information. If payment for shipped products is declined by your Bank you agree to provide payment in full or return all products in unused condition at your own expense. Failure to do so may result in the matter being turned over to a collection agency.

If an order cannot be processed due to payment difficulties, GBG will not be held responsible for monthly purchase requirement shortfalls. Any refund policy or money back guarantees made by GBG on the products sold by GBG are solely intended and will only be extended to the original purchaser of the product. IR’s who resell product are solely responsible to resolve any disputes arising from such a transaction. I agree that I may not alter, repackage, relabel, affix additional labels of information or otherwise change any GBG product, nor will I sell any such product under any other name. GBG reserves the right, at its sole discretion, not to sell to, supply, or do business with any potential customer.
(9.) Regardless of my rank or level of achievement, as a GBG Independent Distributor, I have an ongoing obligation to continue to personally promote new and recurring sales of GBG products through the enrollment of new Independent Distributors and Customers, and to provide ongoing motivation, training and support to my GBG organization.
