I UNDERSTAND THAT I SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS AN EMPLOYEE OF B3 FOR FEDERAL OR STATE TAX PURPOSES.

I certify that:
a) The number I will provide on my new Consultant application is my correct SSN or EIN (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me), and
b) I am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding, and
c) I am a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident with a SSN.
3. I have carefully read and agree to comply with the B3 Policies & Procedures and the B3 Compensation Plan, each of which are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms & Conditions (these three documents shall be collectively referred to as the "the Agreement"). If I have not yet reviewed the Policies & Procedures at the time I execute this Agreement, I understand that they are posted in my B3 Online Office and available on the B3 website. I will review the Policies & Procedures within five days from the date on which I execute this Agreement. If I do not agree to the Policies & Procedures, my sole recourse is to notify the company and cancel my B3 Agreement. Failure to cancel constitutes my acceptance of the Policies & Procedures. I understand that I must be in good standing, and not in violation of the Agreement, to be eligible for bonuses or commissions from B3. I understand that this Agreement may be amended at the sole discretion of B3, and I agree to abide by all such amendments. Notification of amendments shall be posted in my B3 Online Office. Amendments shall become effective thirty (30) days after notice of the amendments is posted but amended policies shall not apply retroactively to conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. The continuation of my B3 business or my acceptance of bonuses or commissions after the effective date of amendments shall constitute my acceptance of any and all amendments.
4. The term of the Agreement is one year (subject to prior cancellation pursuant to the Policies & Procedures). If I do not renew my B3 business by paying the annual renewal or if it is canceled or terminated for any reason, I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as a Consultant. I shall not be eligible to sell B3 products and services nor shall I be eligible to receive commissions, bonuses, or other income resulting from my activities or the activities of my former downline sales organization.
In the event of cancellation, termination or nonrenewal, I waive all rights I have, including but not limited to property rights, to my former downline organization and to any bonuses, commissions or other remuneration derived through the sales and other activities of my former downline organization.

5. I may not assign any rights under the Agreement without the prior written consent of B3. Any attempt to transfer or assign the Agreement without the express written consent of B3 renders the Agreement voidable at the option of B3 and may result in termination of my business.
6. B3, including but not limited to any of its affiliates and/or subsidiaries, may transfer or assign this Agreement in its sole discretion. In the case that the Consultant does not accept the transfer or assignment, it may provide written notice that it wishes to terminate this Agreement. In the event of such notice being provided, the termination will become effective immediately. In the event B3 chooses not to transfer a Consultant Agreement termination will be effective immediately.
7. I understand that if I fail to comply with the terms of the Agreement, B3 may impose upon me disciplinary sanctions as set forth in the Policies & Procedures.
8. B3, its parent and/or affiliated companies, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, assigns, and agents (collectively referred to as "affiliates"), shall not be liable for, and I release B3 and its affiliates from, all claims for consequential and exemplary damages for any claim or cause of action relating to the Agreement. I further agree to release B3 and its affiliates from all liability arising from or relating to my promotion or operation of my B3 business and any activities related to it (e.g., the presentation of B3 products or Compensation Plan, the operation of a motor vehicle, the lease of meeting or training facilities, etc.), and agree to indemnify B3 for any liability, damages, fines, penalties, or other awards arising from any unauthorized conduct that I undertake in operating my business.
9. The Agreement, in its current form and as amended by B3 at its discretion, constitutes the entire contract between B3 and myself. Any promises, representations, offers, or other communications not expressly set forth in the Agreement are of no force or effect.
10. Any waiver by either Party of any breach of the Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized agent of the Party against which the waiver is asserted.
