Origin: a Latin derivative
meaning "Gift of the Earth."
A. No Requirement to Purchase Products. A Person is not required to purchase any doTERRA product in any specified volume or quantity in order to be a doTERRA Wellness Advocate or Customer.
B. Authorization to Resell doTERRA Products. Only Wellness Advocates may purchase doTERRA products for resale.
C. Purchasing Product Solely to Qualify for Bonuses is Prohibited. The doTERRA opportunity is built on retail sales to the ultimate consumer. The Company encourages Wellness Advocates to only purchase inventory that the Wellness Advocate will use as a sales tool, or that will be resold to others for their ultimate consumption. Purchasing product solely for the purpose of collecting Bonuses is prohibited. Wellness Advocates are not allowed to purchase inventory in an amount which unreasonably exceeds that which can be expected to be resold or used as a sales tool. The Company retains the right to limit the amount of purchases the Wellness Advocate may make if, in its sole judgment, it believes those purchases are being made primarily for qualification purposes instead of for resale. In addition, the Company reserves the right to recover Bonuses paid if it is discovered by the Company that the Bonuses have been generated on what the Company deems to be sales in violation of the Contract.
D. Repackaging Prohibited. Wellness Advocates may not print their own labels or repackage doTERRA products. Products are to be sold in their original packaging only, and as approved by regulatory authorities. For instance, Wellness Advocates may not resell individual parts of a kit separately from the original kit packaging unless the Company has established a wholesale price for the individual part and has obtained the necessary regulatory approvals. Similarly, Wellness Advocates may not advertise the use of doTERRA oils as ingredients to non-doTERRA products, such as components of a separate product or ingredients in food recipes, without the written consent of the Company, or in violation of applicable laws and regulations. The use of the doTERRA name by a Wellness Advocate is governed by Section 12 of this Policy Manual.
E. Credit Card Use. Wellness Advocates are strongly discouraged from using their own credit cards to purchase products for another Wellness Advocate or Customer. Wellness Advocates are prohibited from using their own credit cards to purchase products for another Wellness Advocate who has been a Wellness Advocate for less than 30 days. Wellness Advocates may not place a product order using someone else’s credit card without the credit card owner’s written permission and/or presentation to the Company of such other supporting documents as the Company may require. In those rare circumstances where it is necessary to purchase product for another Wellness Advocate or Customer, the Company must receive written permission from the Wellness Advocate or Customer for whom the product order is being placed. Failure to produce such permission upon request of the Company may result in cancellation of the sale, forfeiture of commissions resulting from the sale, and other action for contract breach as outlined in Section 19.
F. Dishonored Check Fees. If applicable, Wellness Advocates are responsible to reimburse the Company for the cost of requesting Wellness Advocates to re-issue dishonored checks, or, where permitted, re-depositing checks from Wellness Advocates that are returned to the Company for insufficient funds or for any other cause in each case, without prejudice to the Company’s right to institute appropriate legal proceedings or other rights under applicable law.
G. Will Call Orders. The Company will have the option of shipping a placed order to a Wellness Advocate or Customer if an order has not been picked up at Will Call within 20 days of placement of an order. The Company will assess the costs of such shipment to the Wellness Advocate or Customer as if the order had been originally placed as an order to be shipped. The pickup period varies by Local Market but will be adequately communicated to Wellness Advocates or Customers. Please consult the Will Call Center in the Local Market from which the product was ordered.
