In line with its Privacy Policy, the Company values the Ambassador’s privacy by not requesting any information that is unnecessary for their Collaboration and/or the entering into this Agreement or to abide with obligations under applicable law. The Company commits itself to do its utmost to ensure that its directors, officers, members, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, affiliates and associates shall not disclose to any person, any non-public proprietary, documents or confidential information which may have been obtained as a result of the relationship between the Parties except to the extent necessary further to any law, regulations, rules or agreements.

 

Nevertheless, the Company shall be entitled, at any time, to request from the Ambassador information and/or documentation that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems fit and necessary in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The Ambassador agrees to provide the Company with such information promptly upon request, and acknowledges that the Company may not allow the Ambassador’s Collaboration until he provides such requested information and the Company has determined that it is permissible under applicable law or regulation. The Company reserves the right to require more due diligence documentation in compliance with any new or amended regulation which may come into force in the future.

 

Furthermore, the duty of confidentiality does not extend to communications in furtherance of an illegal purpose nor to documents or facts showing the commission of a crime or fraud. Moreover, the Company is subject to the duty (without need of informing the Ambassador) to notify the relevant authorities if the Company suspects that any property or money represents proceeds of corruption, drug trafficking or other illicit activities. The Company shall not suffer any consequences due to any disclosure where the Company acts in good faith in accordance with applicable law and the Ambassador acknowledges that the Company is not bound by confidentiality obligations when the disclosure is necessary in the Company’s opinion to protect its own interests.

 

Survival

The provisions of this Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Assumption of Risk

You understand and agree that while traveling to or from any Company-related meetings, events, activities, workshops, incentive trips, or other gatherings, you assume all risk and responsibility for yourself and your guests. Your assumption of this risk will not be affected by whether or not your attendance is based, in whole or in part, by invitation from, or agreement with, the Company or the Company’ payment of any travel or attendance-related expenses.

 

Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable under any theory for any condition or circumstances caused by force majeure, including but not limited to strikes, labour difficulties, riots, war, fire, natural disasters, death, pandemics or endemics, curtailment or interruption of a source of supply, or government decrees or orders.

 

Integrated Agreement & Modification

Together with this Agreement, the Policies, and all annexes (including without limitation the Compensation Plan attached as Annex A), attachments, appendices, and addenda to this Agreement, all as may be amended from time to time, constitute the entire agreement of the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements or understandings between you and the Company, including any representations by the Company or other Ambassadors not explicitly made in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended only in writing and accepted by both Parties. However, to the extent that there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the requirements of the Policies, the Policies will prevail.

 

Assignment

The Company may freely assign all or any part of this Agreement, without your consent, to any of the Company’s affiliates (including any parent or subsidiary) or incidental to a sale, transfer, or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets, change of control, or merger. You may not assign, delegate, transfer or sell your Collaboration rights, or any of your rights or duties under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company. Any assignment, delegation, transfer or sale must be done in accordance with and subject to the requirements in the Policies. You understand and agree that you forfeit your rights to the Collaboration and any rights under this Agreement immediately upon execution of an assignment, transfer or sale. You may not submit a new Ambassador Application for at least six (6) months following the assignment, transfer or sale of your Collaboration rights. All benefits under this Agreement shall accrue and inure to each Party’s valid and legal assigns.

 

No Waiver & No Defense

No waiver or failure to exercise any option, right or privilege under the terms of this Agreement (including the right to require compliance with the terms of this Agreement or Applicable Law) on any occasion or occasions shall be construed to be a waiver of the same or any other option, right or privilege on any other occasion. Nor shall the existence of any claim or cause of action against the Company constitute a defense to the Company’ enforcement of this Agreement.

 

Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to Applicable Law including, but not limited to, the disclaimer of warranty, liability limitations and arbitration requirements set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provisions will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely match the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement that is invalidated or otherwise rendered unenforceable in any jurisdiction, is ineffective only to the extent of such invalidation or unenforceability in that jurisdiction, and only within that jurisdiction.

 

Survival

Each Party’s respective obligations under this Agreement which by their nature would continue beyond the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive. This includes, by way of example but without limitation, the obligations provided in relation to indemnification, effect of termination of the Agreement, disclaimers and limitation of liability, dispute resolution, confidentiality, intellectual property and publicity, notices and the miscellaneous provisions.

 

Signature

Each Party may execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which, collectively, constitute only one agreement. This Agreement may be executed electronically through any means. The Ambassador waives any right to raise any defense or waiver based upon execution of this Agreement by electronic means or maintenance of the executed agreement electronically.
