No Claims of Special Treatment or Special Relationships
Customers, Members, or Affiliates may not allege or imply that they have a special relationship with, advantage with, or access to Company executives or employees that other Customers, Members, or Affiliates do not have.
Detrimental Conduct
If any conduct by a Customer, Member, or Affiliate is determined by the Company to be injurious, disruptive, or harmful to the Company or to other Customers, Members, or Affiliates, the Company may take appropriate action as the Company deems necessary.
Legal Advice
Customers, Members, or Affiliates may not rely on the Company to provide legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice, nor may they rely on any such advice if given. The Company encourages its Customers, Members, or Affiliates to consult with an attorney regarding the extent of their personal legal liability with respect to their independent businesses.
Privacy
Customers, Members, or Affiliates authorize the Company to disclose their contact information to the Customers, Members or Affiliates that they personally sponsored.

The Company may take photos, audio or video recordings, or written or verbal statements of a Customer, Member, or Affiliate at Company events or may request the same directly. The Customer, Member, or Affiliate agrees to and hereby grants the Company the absolute and irrevocable right and permission to use, re-use, broadcast, rebroadcast, publish, or republish any such photo, audio, video, or endorsement in any current or future medium and for any purpose whatsoever, including marketing, advertising, promotion, and/or publicity; and to copyright such photograph and/or video in the name of the Company, or in any other name. Any such use by the Company shall be royalty free and is not subject to any other claim.

International Business
A Customer, Member, or Affiliate has the right to operate in any Authorized Country where they may lawfully conduct the Customer, Member, or Affiliate Business, and is responsible for complying with all national and local laws, ordinances, and regulations when doing so. Only with GreatLife’s approval may a Customer, Member, or Affiliate seek licensing, distribution, or registration for products, trademarks, trade names, or internet domain names in international countries and markets. Customers, Members, or Affiliates may not sell, distribute, license, or register products or business practices in any country without approval of GreatLife.
Compensation
Customers, Members, or Affiliates may participate in our compensation program as outlined on the Opportunity page of the GreatLife website. Commissions are paid as outlined on the Opportunity page. All Customers, Members, or Affiliates understand BEFORE joining or purchasing any product that there are NO GUARANTEED EARNINGS.
Most Customers, Members, or Affiliates earn less money each month in the compensation program than they are paying for their products. Although it is possible, GreatLife Worldwide, LLC Customers, Members, or Affiliates should NOT expect to make a profit simply by becoming a Customer, Member, or Affiliate as it is very possible that will not occur.
GreatLife Worldwide, LLC does not and cannot guarantee that Customers, Members, or Affiliates earn a profit by implementing the training materials provided. No Customer, Member, or Affiliate should spend money that they cannot afford to lose to purchase products, advertising materials, or anything else related to GreatLife. It is possible that you will NOT earn any income as a Customer, Member, or Affiliate of GreatLife.
A Customer, Member, or Affiliate’s success is only achieved through the regular and repeated purchase of products and the regular and repeated product sales by its Downline Organization. There is no guarantee of income, nor any assurance of profit, result, or success, nor does it guarantee a Customer, Member, or Affiliate a specific income.
Compensation and Commissions
Weekly Fast Start and generational bonuses on all initial product purchases are paid every Friday in the week the commissions were earned. Monthly Commissions and bonuses will be paid on or before the 15th day of each month following the close of the month on which commissions were earned. No representations, warranties, or guarantees, either oral or written, are given other than as otherwise stated in this Agreement.
Commissions are paid in the name of the Person or Business Entity listed in the Customer, Member or Affiliate’s back office. The minimum amount for payment of commission payments is five dollars ($5.00 USD). Commissions less than the minimum for a pay period will accumulate until they equal or exceed the minimum payment amount.
No Manipulation
Manipulation of the Compensation Plan is not permitted and may result in disciplinary action. Manipulation includes, but is not limited to, an Affiliate purchasing large quantities of Product that are not sold through the direct marketing channel, or placing orders in their Downline Organization, for the purpose of qualifying for various Ranks or Commissions, or any other actions that may violate state, federal or foreign anti-pyramid scheme laws.
Deductions and Offsets
Affiliates authorize GreatLife to deduct fees from its Commissions as deemed appropriate at the sole discretion of GreatLife. There may be times when an Affiliate’s downline has returned product for a refund, in which case GreatLife will deduct the refunded amounts from previously paid out commissions.
Ordering Products
Unless otherwise arranged, all membership payments and product purchases will be done from the Customers, Members or Affiliates GreatLife website. Customers, Members or Affiliates may also call GreatLife directly to get assistance with ordering products.
Product Inventory
GreatLife imposes no specific minimum inventory requirement. A Customer, Member, or Affiliate must use their own judgment to determine the amount of inventory, if any, needed to sustain their projected personal use.
Stockpiling Prohibited
Customers, Members or Affiliates are prohibited from purchasing unreasonable amounts of products and inventory. Products shall not be stockpiled and/or front-end loaded for the purpose of qualifying for commissions. With every product order, the Distributor certifies that they have sold and/or used for personal consumption at least seventy percent (70%) of any and all prior product orders. Customers, Members or Affiliates must retain complete receipts of retail sales and provide them to GreatLife immediately upon request.
Auto-Delivery Program
A Customer, Member, or Affiliate may choose to participate in the Auto-Delivery Program. When choosing the Auto-Delivery program at the time of enrollment, the Agreement serves as confirmation for the setup. An Auto-Delivery account will be charged at a set time during the month, and the Product will be shipped at a set time thereafter. The scheduled dates for Auto-Delivery processing, account charges, shipping, or account changes may be selected in the Customer, Member or Affiliate’s back office section of their GreatLife website.
If an Auto-Delivery order fails for billing reasons, GreatLife will reset the order to run three days later. If it fails the second time it will be reset to run again three days later. If the third attempt fails to process, the account will be placed on a temporary hold until the method of payment is updated.
