10. Referral Fees. For the sale of products to be eligible to earn a referral fee, Your customer must click-through a link from your site, email, or other communications to the Company website and make a purchase through customer’s initial click-through. If your customer makes a purchase independently of this process, you will not earn a referral fee. Referral Fees are only paid on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. For our systems to track the referral, the visitor must have cookies enabled. We will not pay Referral Fees if someone says they signed up through You but it was not tracked by our system. For each accepted and fully paid purchase by a customer referred by You, of items listed on the attached Pristine Partners Affiliate Referral Fee Schedule (a “Purchase”), the Company will pay you the corresponding referral fee shown on the Schedule (the “Referral Fee”). Thirty (30) days after the end of each month following Your customers’ Purchases, the Company will remit to you the aggregate Referral Fees earned in that prior month. Adjustments (deductions) to your Referral Fee shall be made for all Purchases that are returned or otherwise result in refunds or credits back to customers on a pari-pasu basis, regardless of reason. In the event a Referral Fee is paid on a Purchase that results in a refund or other customer credit, the amount due back to the Company shall be applied against any future Referral Fees earned by you in the six (6) months immediately following the month in which the return or customer credit was claimed. In the event the Referral Fees earned in the immediately following six (6) months are not sufficient for Company to recoup any Referral Fees due back to Company, you are required to contact Company within ten (10) days following the end of the six (6) month period to make arrangements for immediate repayment to the Company of all such Referral Fees. Each Referral Fee shall represent the total compensation earned by you for any given Purchase. The Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any other fees to any other third parties you may involve in your activities. In the event another Affiliate has a claim on a Referral Fee for a Purchase made by one of your referred customers, the referral credit as tracked by the Company’s system shall be the sole and final determinant as to the Affiliate to whom the Referral Fee is due. Referral Fee payments will be mailed to You at the address listed on the application or any subsequent changes to which are on file. The Company maintains the right, at any time without notice, to terminate the Affiliate Program, or to modify any terms, including Referral Fee compensation in all respects, at Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

11. Responsibility for Affiliate URLs. You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of all URLs related to You, or linked to by You, that are linked to the Company website and for all materials that appear on such URLs.

12. Product Claims. You are prohibited from making any medical or health claims whatsoever relative to any of the Company’s products and/or services, and You shall indemnify and hold Company harmless from any related third party claims, including reasonable legal fees. You may not make medical claims, or state or imply that any of Company’s products are formulated, designed or approved by the Company or any regulatory authority to treat any disease or medical condition. Such representations would imply that the Company’s products are drugs rather than cosmetics or nutritional products. You also may not compare Company’s products to drugs, or make drug or medical claims. Any such representations, claims or comparisons by you may result in your personal liability. You shall not state or imply that any of Company’s products are registered or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or any other regulatory authority. The FDA does not require or grant specific approval for the individual cosmetic or nutritional products that the Company sells. When making product benefit claims or giving personal testimonials regarding nutritional products that are “structure/function” claims, the claim or testimonial must be accompanied by the following disclaimer:

“These statements have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration or any other local authority. This product is not intended to

diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”

Structure/function claims describe the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient intended to affect normal structure or function in humans, for example, “calcium builds strong bones.” They are

not pre-approved by the FDA and must be truthful and not misleading.

13. Promotion, Marketing and Informational Materials. You agree to promote the Company’s products over any competitors’ products and to display any physical Company marketing materials in the most favorable locations within Your premises. You agree to surrender and return, or destroy, immediately at Your expense any outdated marketing materials as determined by Company upon Company’s request, or upon termination of this Agreement. You may receive promotional literature, sales brochures, advertisement and other literature at the sole discretion of Company. All marketing/promotional materials, signs or plaques shall remain the property of Company. No logos, promotional materials or bottle (or other packaging) designs may be changed without the express written consent of Company. You may not modify any packaging, labels, literature or instructions for use of any of Company’s products. You may not give instructions to use Company’s products in any way not described in the Company’s current approved literature. Any such modifications or instructions by you may result in your personal liability.
