5. I may terminate this Agreement for any reason, at any time, by giving VISALUS prior written notice. VISALUS may terminate this Agreement in writing upon violation of policies and procedures or in the event I violate any part of this Agreement. In such event, no further commissions will be paid by VISALUS. To terminate this Agreement, I must mail or deliver personally to VISALUS, a signed, dated written notice of cancellation sent to: ViSalus Sciences, 1607 East Big Beaver, Suite 110, Troy, Michigan 48083.

 

6. I agree that as a VISALUS Promoter, I shall place primary emphasis upon the sale of Products and Services to non-promoter consumers as a condition of my receipt of commissions.

A three ($3.00) Dollar processing fee will apply to all payments.

This fee is for services, which include, but are not limited to, downline reporting, customer tracking and accounting services. The Administration Fee will be charged in the month of my enrollment anniversary and if not paid will result in my Promotership being placed on Financial Hold for up to 120 days. If the Administration Fee remains unpaid 120 days after it was due, my Promotership will be terminated and I will forfeit any commissions that were held since the time I was placed on Financial Hold. If my Promotership is terminated, I understand that I must re-enroll as a brand new Promoter and will not be placed back in my original spot if I wish to pursue the ViSalus opportunity

 

10. I agree that VISALUS shall not be liable under any circumstances for any damage or loss of any kind, including indirect, special, punitive, compensatory, or consequential damages, losses or profits which may result from any cause, including but not limited to, breach of warranty, delay, act, error or omission of VISALUS, or in the event of discontinuation or modification of a product or service offered by VISALUS.
