TERMS & CONDITIONS

Effective April 24, 2016

I understand that as an Independent Associate (“Associate”) for Talk Fusion®, Inc. (hereinafter “Talk Fusion” or the “Company”):

a) I have the right to sell, and solicit orders for, Talk Fusion products and services in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. I understand that it is within the exclusive right of Talk Fusion to accept or reject orders that I submit.
b) I have the right to enroll persons as Associates in Talk Fusion.
c) If qualified, I have the right to earn commissions pursuant to the Talk Fusion Compensation Plan.
I agree to present the Talk Fusion Compensation Plan and Talk Fusion products and services as set forth in official Talk Fusion literature.
I agree that as a Talk Fusion Associate I am an independent contractor, and not an employee, partner, legal representative, or franchisee of Talk Fusion. I agree that I will be solely responsible for paying all expenses that I incur, including but not limited to travel, food, lodging, secretarial, office, long distance telephone and other business expenses. I UNDERSTAND THAT I SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS AN EMPLOYEE OF TALK FUSION FOR FEDERAL OR STATE TAX PURPOSES. Talk Fusion is not responsible for withholding, and shall not withhold or deduct from my bonuses and commissions, if any, FICA, or taxes of any kind. I understand that I am not entitled to workers compensation or unemployment security benefits of any kind from Talk Fusion.
I have carefully read and agree to comply with the Talk Fusion Policies and Procedures, the Talk Fusion Compensation Plan, each of which are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms and Conditions (these documents shall be collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). If I have not yet reviewed the Policies and Procedures at the time I execute this Agreement, I understand that they are posted in my Back Office. If I have not reviewed the Policies and Procedures, I will review them within three days from the date on which I execute this Agreement. If I do not agree to the Policies and Procedures, my sole recourse is to notify the company and cancel my Talk Fusion Agreement. Failure to cancel within three days from the date of enrollment constitutes my acceptance of the Policies and Procedures. I understand that I must be in good standing, and not in violation of the Agreement, to be eligible for bonuses or commissions from Talk Fusion. I understand that the Agreement may be amended at the sole discretion of Talk Fusion, and I agree to abide by all such amendments. Notification of amendments shall be posted in my Talk Fusion Back Office. Amendments shall become effective 30 days after notice of the amendment(s) is posted, but amended policies shall not apply retroactively to conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. My continued operation of my Talk Fusion business or my acceptance of bonuses or commissions after the effective date of amendments shall constitute my acceptance of any and all amendments.
The term of this agreement is one year (subject to prior cancellation pursuant to the Policies and Procedures). If I do not renew my Talk Fusion business by paying the annual renewal fee, or if it is canceled or terminated for any reason, I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as an Associate. I shall not be eligible to sell Talk Fusion products and services nor shall I be eligible to receive commissions, bonuses, or other income resulting from my activities or the activities of my former downline sales organization. In the event of cancellation, termination or nonrenewal, I waive all rights I have, including but not limited to property rights, to my former downline organization and to any bonuses, commissions or other remuneration derived through the sales and other activities of my former downline organization. Talk Fusion reserves the right to terminate all Associate Agreements upon 30 days’ notice if the Company elects to: (1) cease business operations; (2) dissolve as a business entity; or (3) terminate distribution of its products and/or services via direct selling channels.
Neither party shall assign its rights, or delegate its duties toward the other, without the written authorization of the other party.

I understand that if I fail to comply with the terms of the Agreement, Talk Fusion may impose upon me disciplinary sanctions as set forth in the Policies and Procedures
The Parties, their parent and/or affiliated companies, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, assigns, and agents (collectively referred to as “affiliates”), shall not be liable for consequential or exemplary damages for any claim or cause of action relating to the Agreement or the use of Talk Fusion’s products, even if a party has been apprised of the likelihood of such damages.
The Agreement, in its current form and as amended by Talk Fusion at its discretion, constitutes the entire contract between Talk Fusion and myself. Any promises, representations, offers, or other communications not expressly set forth in the Agreement are of no force or effect.
Any waiver by either Party of any breach of the Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized agent of the Party against whom the waiver is asserted.
