Policies and Procedures:
The obligations and
rights of all Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Distributors are explained in
this document.
By participating in the
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Program, placing orders, referring others
and/or accepting royalty/bonus checks, Distributors agree to be bound by
these obligations, and agree to hold the Company harmless for anything
they do which does not conform to these Policies and Procedures.
When a new Distributor is accepted into Greenwood Health Systems, Inc.,
they will choose a Distributor Username, which will be used for all
transactions with Greenwood Health Systems, Inc.
Distributors also indemnify Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. for any
possible damages that may result from any activities engaged in by them
that do not conform to these policies and procedures.
Equal Opportunity:
Greenwood Health
Systems, Inc. is open to people from all walks of life, regardless of sex,
race, nationality, religious beliefs, political affiliations or age, as
long as the applicant is at least 18 years of age, or of legal age in the
state where they live, or is otherwise legally capable of entering into a
contractual agreement.
Distributors:
Individuals may become
Distributors by registering, placing their first product order, and
providing the Company with their name, e-mail address and telephone
number. Such registration with Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. may be by
telephone, telefax, USPS or through the Internet.
Distributors may refer other individuals to Greenwood Health Systems, Inc.
if they desire. However, in order to participate in the Company's
Compensation Plan and earn royalties, bonuses, or any type of
compensation, one must first qualify with a minimum AUTOSHIP order of
product per month as determined by the then current and published
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Compensation Plan.
All Distributors who choose to earn income by participating in the
Company's Compensation Plan agree to abide by and be bound by these
Policies and Procedures. Distributors must be of legal age in the state or
country where they live.
Distributors must accept the Distributor Application and Agreement
provided by the Company. They can then earn bonuses based on the volume of
purchases made by other Distributors and/or Consumers they Sponsor
directly and indirectly according to the Company's published Compensation
Plan.
Distributors who request cancelation of their autoship order are
immediately removed the matrix, have their Distributor status cancelled,
and forfeit any accrued bonuses not yet paid to them.
Distributors who fail to
make a monthly AUTOSHIP purchase will be notified that a second missed
monthly AUTOSHIP
purchase will result in cancellation
of their Distributor position and any future possible income related to
it. There is no minimum order requirement for Consumers in any one month.
However, certain volume requirements as published in the Company's
Compensation Plan are necessary for Distributors to receive the various
royalties, bonuses and other forms of compensation.
Distributors are responsible for making certain that they order on or
before the close of business, which is 2400hrs (GMT) or 1800hrs (CST) on
the last business day of each month to qualify for bonuses.
Distributors are responsible for
making certain that Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. receives good funds for
that purchase.
If payment is made by debit or credit card and for any reason that payment
is declined or rejected, the order cannot be processed and will not count
toward qualification nor will compensation be paid on it.
Sponsor: Sponsor is the term used to define a Distributor who
refers one or more individuals to Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. who then
become Distributors.
The Sponsor is primarily responsible for ensuring their personally
sponsored downline Distributors are properly trained with respect to the
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc., Policies and Procedures, Compensation
Plan, sound business practices and sales strategies on an on-going basis.
Sponsors must fulfill the obligation of performing a bona fide supervisory
role in helping their sponsored Distributors develop their Greenwood
Health Systems, Inc. business.
1. TERM OF
REPRESENTATIVESHIP.
The initial term of
Distributorship shall be INDEFINITE so long as they stay in good standing
and active.
2. RELATIONSHIPS AND
POSITIONS.
Each individual may hold
ONE position. The position may be held as an individual, or in the form of
a business entity such as a partnership, corporation, limited liability
company, DBA or business trust, so long as they are in compliance with the
laws of the jurisdiction in which that Distributor lives. While the
company does not permit the practice of personal multiple positions, we
understand that there are many who desire to have their families involved
in this business with them and we have no restrictions on members of the
same family each holding a single position each.
3. CHANGES IN STATUS.
A. Death: Upon
death or incapacity of the Distributor, his/her rights to bonuses and
position, together with Distributorship responsibilities, shall pass to
his/her legal successors in interest upon written request and approval by
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Such permission shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
The successors must complete a new Distributor Application and Agreement
Form and fulfill all responsibilities of the Position in so far as
performing the duties of sponsorship in order to receive compensation as
provided by the Company's Compensation Plan. The successor shall,
thereafter, be entitled to all the rights and subject to all the
obligations of any other Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Distributor, as
long as they continue to meet the requirements of the Company's
Compensation Plan and continue complying with the Policies and Procedures
of the Company. If the person inheriting a position of a deceased
Distributor already has an Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. position, that
person must agree to do their best to maintain the business activities in
both positions.
B. Divorce: If a married couple becomes divorced, they must notify
the Company regarding which of them will assume responsibility for and
ownership of the position. The Company will simply continue bonus payments
to the position, however it was previously registered with the Company,
until proper legal notification is provided to the Company with proper
legal documentation.
4. SPONSORING POLICY.
A. Compensation:
Distributors are compensated
based solely on the sales of products.
No compensation
is made for the act of sponsoring new Distributors.
B. First Application: Distributors
have the right to sponsor others. In addition, every person has the
ultimate right to choose his or her own Sponsor. If two Distributors
should claim to be Sponsors of the same new Distributor, Greenwood Health
Systems, Inc. shall regard the first application received by the company
as controlling. In the case of a dispute between Sponsors, the Company
reserves the right to make the final decision as to who the Sponsor shall
be, based on all the information available to the Company at the time. If
additional information becomes available at a later date, the Company
reserves the right to modify its decision.
C. Compliance: By the act of sponsoring new Distributors into
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc., Distributors must make the commitment to
be Sponsors. If the sponsoring Distributor fails to follow through and
complete the duties of a Sponsor as outlined herein, the Company, at its
discretion, reserves the right to revoke or suspend privileges of a
Distributor to sponsor other Distributors.
D. Age: There is no limit as to the number of new Distributors that
can be sponsored by any one individual. However, all individuals sponsored
into Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. must be 18 years of age or of legal
age in the state or country (jurisdiction) where they live, and be legally
capable of entering into a contractual agreement.
E. Cross line Sponsoring: Cross line sponsoring is the act of
offering products or the income opportunity of another company to a
Distributor of Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. who is not personally
sponsored by you. In addition, suggesting any Greenwood Health Systems,
Inc. Distributor, or group of Distributors, change their sponsorship is
also defined as cross line sponsoring.
Cross line sponsoring, or attempting to do
so, is absolutely forbidden and is grounds for suspension or termination
as an Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Distributor.
F. International
Sponsoring: As the Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. opportunity is only
available in the USA, international sponsoring is not permitted.
Attempting to sponsor or sell products in other countries may be grounds
for suspension or termination.
5. SALE OR TRANSFER OF
POSITION.
Distributors may sell,
assign, or transfer their position only upon the written approval of
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc.. The Distributor must provide the Company
with a completed Sale or Transfer of Position Form. The position must
first be offered to the Representative's Sponsor. The Distributor being
offered the position for sale shall have ten business days from receipt of
the offer to respond. If the offer is not accepted, it must then be
offered to the next active upline Distributor, one at a time beginning
with the nearest Distributor, and progressing upline. Equal terms of sale,
including the requested price and terms, must be offered in writing to all
involved parties . If the position being sold is not purchased by an
upline Distributor within the organization as described herein, then the
position may be sold to a Distributor in a different line or to someone
who is not a current Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Distributor, who
desires to become one. If the position is offered for sale to someone
outside of the original line, it must be offered and sold for the same
price and conditions as it was offered to the upline Distributors. If the
selling Distributor decides to sell at a new price and/or with new
conditions, the new price and conditions must first be offered to the
existing upline Distributors in the order described above. If the position
is sold to an existing Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. Distributor, the new
owner must operate the newly acquired position as a separate business
entity from his or her original position, or collapse, sell or otherwise
legally transfer the original position or the position being acquired. In
any event, the downline of either position will remain intact within, as
it was originally.. Any compensation and recognition will be determined
solely by the qualifications of each and every individual position.
6. CHANGING SPONSORS.
Changing Sponsors is NOT
permitted except in the following circumstance.
1. Resigning from Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. entirely and
waiting six months to re-apply under a new Sponsor. If you resign from
the Company you will lose any downline you have built.

local and federal regulatory agencies including, but not limited to, the

10. INCOME AND OTHER
TAXES.
Distributors will not be
treated as employees, franchisees, joint
ventures',
agents or partners, with respect to the Internal Revenue Code, Social
Security Act, Federal Unemployment Acts, or any other federal, state, or
local statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation.
Distributors are responsible for paying local, state, and federal taxes
due on earnings from commissions generated from the sale of Greenwood

Distributors residing in the United States of America shall provide a
valid SSN or EIN to become eligible for the payment of bonuses.

All Distributors shall comply with
all federal, state, and local statutes and regulations relating to the
operation of their businesses. All are responsible for their own
managerial decisions and expenditures, including all estimated income and
self-employment taxes.
11. SALES TAXES.
Some Greenwood Health
Systems, Inc. products may be subject to sales tax in certain states. The
amount of sales tax, if any, varies from state to state and at different
localities within states. In order to ensure that governmental
satisfaction of state sales tax requirements are met, it is the policy of
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. to collect and remit all applicable sales
tax. The amount of sales tax is based upon the product's price calculated
at the local tax rate of the person to whom the products are being
shipped. Distributors can recoup their prepaid sales tax at the time of
sale, if and when they resell Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. products.
Distributors who prefer to collect and remit sales tax themselves, must
furnish Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. with a true and correct copy of
their current state approved resale tax certificate showing their resale
tax number along with any additional information required by the Company
from time to time. In the absence of a bona fide resale tax certificate,
Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. will continue to collect sales taxes until
such time as a bona fide resale tax certificate is received.
12. SEVENTY PERCENT RULE.
The Company encourages
retailing of products to other consumers. We do not allow front loading or
excessive purchasing of inventory. In order to guard against such
practices, Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. requires that by placing their
orders, every Distributor certifies that they have sold or consumed at
least 70% of the products contained in their prior orders.

on a calendar or monthly basis. It is the responsibility of the
Distributor to have placed all their orders that they wish to have
credited to any given month's business by the end of the last business day
of that month. It is also their responsibility to make certain that bona
fide payment is made at the same time. Credit card payments and electronic
check transfers that cannot be processed due to lack of funds cannot be
accepted and will result in the order not being credited.
E. Check Dates: Commission checks that amount to twenty dollars or
more are mailed by the Company, or direct deposited into the designated
account of the Distributors no later than the tenth business day of the
month following the month in which those commissions were earned. For

Distributor who violates any of the terms of the Distributors Application
and Agreement, Policies and Procedures, or for any other just cause deemed
not in the best interest of the Company or it's Distributorship.
Involuntary termination is effective when the formal written notice is
mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested to the Distributors
current address as shown on Greenwood Health Systems, Inc. records, or
when the Distributor receives actual notice, whichever occurs first. If a
terminated Distributor reapplies, the Company has sole discretion whether

letter of appeal within fifteen days, the termination shall automatically
become final. If the Distributor desires, he or she may file an appeal for
reconsideration, and must file their appeal before submitting to binding
arbitration regarding the termination. If the Distributor files a timely
appeal, it will be reviewed and the termination reconsidered by an
impartial appeals panel established by the Company, and the Distributor
will be notified of the decision. The decision of the panel shall be final
and subject to no further review. If the appeal is denied, the termination
shall remain in effect as of the date of the Greenwood Health Systems,
Inc. original termination notice.
D. Effect of Termination:
Voluntary or Involuntary termination will result in the Representative's
loss of the rights to their sponsored downline organization and their
status in Greenwood Health Systems, Inc.. The downline organization then
moves upline to the next active Sponsor in the terminated Representative's
upline and remains there whether or not the terminated or terminating
Distributor subsequently reenters the Company's Compensation Plan. This
holds true unless the Distributor has successfully appealed an involuntary
termination.
