SECTION 3:

IBO Relationship with BizsSmart

3.0 Becoming an Independent Business Owner

You become an Independent Business Owner when your Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement form has been received and accepted by BizsSmart. BizsSmart reserves the right to refuse any application, and will not be responsible for delays in processing any applications that are illegible or incomplete. If you receive and deposit a commission payment from us; that will also serve to affirm that you agree to be bound by our Policies and Procedures. As an Independent Business Owner you are required to give us your Social Security or Federal Tax ID number where applicable. You must certify under the penalty of law that the Tax ID number and valid personal identification submitted to the Company is correct. BizsSmart will provide the required forms to report your annual gross income from BizsSmart. You have the obligation to maintain records that will enable you to properly and completely report all of your taxable income to the appropriate tax authorities. As an Independent Business Owner, you may enjoy certain tax advantages. Please consult with your tax adviser to determine if your BizsSmart business offers any of those advantages to you.

3.1 Independent Contractor

You, as an Independent Business Owner, are an independent contractor. You are not an agent, employee, partner, or joint venture with BizsSmart.

You may not represent yourself as anything other than an Independent Business Owner. You have no authority to bind BizsSmart to any obligation.

You are responsible for paying your own self-employment taxes, federal income taxes and any other taxes or financial obligations required by law. You must obey any federal, state, and local laws, as well as BizsSmart rules and regulations pertaining to your independent BizsSmart distributorship or the acquisition, receipt, holding, selling, distributing or advertising of BizsSmart products or opportunity.

3.2 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold BizsSmart, its officers, agents, and directors harmless from any claim, damage, liability or loss arising out of your activities as an Independent Business Owner.

3.3 IBO Eligibility and Restrictions

You must be of legal age and legally competent in the jurisdiction in which you reside in order to be an Independent Business Owner. For example, legal age in the United States is eighteen years old.

3.4 Spouses are encouraged to be joint IBOs in one position, but are allowed to each have their own IBO position with BizsSmart. Spouses must join the same line of sponsorship as his or her spouse and be directly sponsored by them. Change of the original sponsor is not permitted. The actions of one spouse will be attributed to both spouses. Once enrolled a spouse may not be moved.

3.5 You may have a financial interest in No More Than One (1) IBO position.

3.6 A Corporation, Partnership or Trust may become an Independent Business Owner. Legal entities must submit certified copies of their formation documents and attest to the management and ownership of the entity or, in the case of a trust, the name of the Trustee and the Beneficiaries. The entity must also submit a certificate of good standing from the jurisdiction in which it was formed if such a certificate is provided by that jurisdiction. All of these documents must be submitted within five (5) business days of the acceptance of the entity’s Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement. The authorized officer, agent or trustee must sign the Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement form. The actions of corporate shareholders, officers, directors, agents or employees and the actions of partnership partners, agents or employees, which do not conform to BizsSmart’s policies shall be attributable to the entire corporate or partnership entity.

3.7 Unincorporated Businesses (Proprietorships) with unique IRS issued taxpayer identification numbers (not the social security number of the proprietor,) where applicable, may become an Independent Business Owner. Proof of the issuance of the taxpayer identification number must be submitted to BizsSmart.

3.8 BizsSmart, while allowing the above identified business entities to be IBO's, will tie recognition to the primary applicant (electronic signature on agreement) as the authorized representative of said entity.

3.9 BizsSmart reserves the right to approve or disapprove any change you propose to make to your business name or structure, the formation of partnerships, corporations, and trusts for tax, estate planning, and limited liability purposes. Before we can approve such a change, you must complete a new Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement and file it with us outlining the BizsSmart proposed change and the reasons for the proposed change.

3.10 If you are considering selling your IBO Position, there is a legal procedure you must follow to gain approval of the request. A BizsSmart Position may be sold only after BizsSmart has approved the request in writing. We will not allow an IBO Position to be sold if it has not been actively engaged in retail selling of BizsSmart products or the Sponsoring of new IBOs and has been an active “paid-as” Executive for the previous six (6) consecutive months. We will only approve a proposed sale/transfer of the IBO Position if you have first given us at least thirty (30) days written notice of the proposed terms of the sale to a bona fide purchaser and allowed BizsSmart to exercise a First Right of Refusal. You can request these forms through the Compliance Department at the BizsSmart Home Office. No Retail Customer Position may be sold or assigned.

3.11 A First Right of Refusal simply means that BizsSmart has the right to purchase an IBO position for the same amount as contained in an offer that the owner has received (and wants to accept) from another buyer. In this situation, the owner is first obligated to offer their down line for sale to BizsSmart at the same price contained in the offer they’ve received. BizsSmart can then either agree to purchase the position for the same price, within thirty (30) days or decline and allow the other buyer to move forward and complete the purchase.

3.12 Retail Customer Program

The Retail Customer Program is for a person who wishes to purchase BizsSmart products at Retail prices, but does not want to participate in the income opportunity. You become a Retail Customer when your Retail Customer Application and Agreement is received and accepted by BizsSmart.

3.12.1 As a Retail Customer you will not occupy a position in the All Fuel Express organization structure. As a Retail Customer you are permitted to purchase As a Retail Customer and you may refer customers to your website who wish to order products or enroll as an Independent Business Owner or Retail Customer. However, you will not participate in the BizsSmart compensation plan available only to Independent BizsSmart IBO. As a Retail Customer you are not required to provide BizsSmart with your date of birth, Social Security or Tax ID Number.

3.12.2 A Retail Customer may, within the first 12 months of original signup, elect to become an IBO and have their Retail Customer position converted into an IBO Position by completing and submitting an Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement. Retail Customers converting to IBO status will have their placement position converted to that of Independent Business Owner and will become eligible to accumulate volume and earn future compensation based upon the BizsSmart Compensation Plan. No bonus will be paid before the conversion to IBO position.

3.12.4 Annual Renewal

As an Independent Business Owner or a member of our Retail Customer Program, you must renew your membership in order to continue enjoying the benefits of BizsSmart. As a convenience, BizsSmart will automatically renew your IBO Position by charging your most recently used payment method. If you do not renew, you will lose your benefits.

3.13 Change of Sponsorship

As an Independent Business Owner, you are the Enrolling Sponsor of any IBO or Retail Customer that you directly Retail and sponsored into the Company. A Placement Sponsor is the sponsor that will be directly upline of the new IBO. You can be both the Enrolling Sponsor and Placement Sponsor. We will recognize the sponsorship positions as listed on the Independent Business Owner Application submitted by a new Independent Business Owner. If we receive more than one application, the one we accept first will be recognized as the enrolling sponsor. If your IBO Position is terminated for any reason whether voluntarily or involuntarily, you may not rejoin BizsSmart for a minimum of six (6) months from the date of termination. If you allow your IBO position to lapse by way of failure to renew and you continue to order, you must still wait a minimum of six (6) months from the date of your last order before you may sign up in a new position.

SECTION 4:

Ordering, Purchasing and Reselling Products

4.0 Initial Purchase

You are not required to purchase any product in order to be an Independent Business Owner or Retail Customer. Except where prohibited by law, you are required to pay a $20.00 USD at the time of submission of your Independent Business Owner or Retail Customer Application and Agreement to BizsSmart. This payment is an IBO Administrative fee and must be renewed annually. The annual fee is non-refundable.

4.1 Inventory Purchases

The BizsSmart program is built on retail sales to the end consumer.

BizsSmart encourages its IBOs to only purchase inventory that they and IBOs of their family will personally consume, or which will be resold to others for their ultimate consumption or resale. BizsSmart reserves the right to limit the amount of purchases you may make, if, in our sole judgment, we believe those purchases are being made solely for qualification or recognition purposes instead of for consumption or resale. Retail Customers are permitted to purchase products for their personal use only, and not for resale.

4.2 70% Resale Rule:

To be eligible for bonuses, an IBO must meet BizsSmart’s qualification requirements and comply with the 70% Resale Rule. Under this rule, you may not order additional product unless you have sold or used for personal or family use at least 70% of the product that you have previously purchased. The verification section on BizsSmart’s order form is designed to support the 70% Resale Rule. However, you make the certification that you have used or resold at least 70% of your prior orders regardless of the method that you use for placing the order.

4.3 Payment

All orders must be accompanied by proper payment including all applicable shipping/handling fees and sales tax. We will not process orders that are not accompanied by full and proper payment. If paying by electronic check, please allow 10 business days for the check to process. Although appropriate Commissions will be earned at the time the order is accepted, your order will only ship once the check clears our bank.

4.4 Autoship

You can ensure that you receive a shipment of our products every 30 days by enrolling in Autoship. If your Autoship is for the amount required to remain active in each 30-day period, it assures that you remain “Active” and that you are eligible for ongoing Bonuses in conjunction with the other qualifications for receiving bonuses. It also eliminates the inconvenience of placing monthly orders.

4.5 Your Autoship order will typically be placed every thirty (30) days from the date you originally establish your order, or on the date of your choosing. If the processing date falls on a weekend or holiday, the Autoship will be processed and shipped the following business day. If payment has not been received and processed by the due date, the Autoship order will not be sent, and your qualifications for active status and bonus pay may not be met.

4.6 You may change an Autoship order. You can make your Autoship changes online directly in your replicated Web site office.

4.7 You may terminate your Autoship order at any time. If you do, however, you may be ineligible to earn Bonuses.

4.8 Autoships may only be established or amended by the IBO or Retail Customer responsible for receipt and payment of these orders – without exception.

4.9 Sponsoring IBOs may not set up these types of ongoing orders on behalf of their new IBO or Retail Customer.

4.10 Any IBO or Retail Customer that fraudulently signs up a person unknowingly as an IBO or Retail Customer will have their Membership terminated. In addition, BizsSmart may pursue fraudulent behavior, for any misrepresentation of the BizsSmart Opportunity, using all legal means available.

4.11 Resale of Product

Only authorized Independent Business Owners of BizsSmart may purchase BizsSmart products for resale. Customers are not permitted to resell products.

4.12 BizsSmart products may not be sold through catalogues or other mass retail sales medium, infomercials or television, without the prior written approval of BizsSmart.

4.13 Internet product sales may be made only on BizsSmart approved IBO or Retail Customer Web sites. BizsSmart products may not be sold or displayed on any online auctions, including but not limited to, eBay, UBid, eBay stores, etc.

4.14 BizsSmart products may not be displayed and sold in retail establishments where the primary source of income is the resale of products unless such locations are approved and duly appointed by BizsSmart.

4.15 Only BizsSmart produced, or pre-approved literature, banners, or signage may be displayed on a shelf, counter, or wall.

4.16 Resale of BizsSmart products in any jurisdiction where such re-sales are not recognized or permitted is strictly prohibited.

4.17 Sales Tax

Where applicable, if you are a resident in a state or jurisdiction where BizsSmart collects taxes, we will collect and remit sales taxes on your behalf. The sales tax is based upon the tax rate in the jurisdiction that the product is shipped to. Generally it accessed on the retail price paid by the end consumer. BizsSmart allows IBOs to declare whether an item is for personal consumption or sold at the suggested retail price.

4.18 You hereby agree to indemnify and hold BizsSmart harmless regarding any liability, including financial that we may incur as a result of your failure to properly declare that the products are for personal or retail use.

4.19 Under the terms of these agreements, BizsSmart is required to collect the applicable tax at the time of sale. The jurisdiction is determined by the ship to address of the order. The tax collected will be based on one of four categories:

4.20 The tax will be on the wholesale cost for those orders placed by an IBO or Retail Customer for their own personal or family consumption. This will include all Autoship orders unless you specify they are being purchased for retail sale.

4.21 The tax will be on the suggested retail price of any orders placed by an IBO for resale.

4.22 The tax will be on the actual sales price of any order placed by a retail customer using your site to order.

4.23 The price subject to sales tax will include the shipping charge if the state where the products are shipped requires sales tax be charged on this cost.

4.24 As an IBO, when you sell the products, you should collect the sales tax based on your selling price. The taxes you collect will be a reimbursement for the taxes pre-collected by BizsSmart. You will not have any additional reporting to do.

4.25 Your BizsSmart order will be charged the appropriate tax.

SECTION 5:

Company Refund Policy

5.0 For Retail Customers

Retail customers have 30 days from the invoice date of their order to initiate a return for a refund. This applies to any order that they place. Shipping and handling costs are non-refundable.

5.1 When you as an IBO sell products at retail, you are the primary party responsible for customer satisfaction. The retail customer must come to you for either a replacement product or for a refund. You make the product

exchange or refund, and then you obtain replacement product from BizsSmart for the returned product.

5.2 You must notify customer support and A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Number will be issued.

5.3 In the event of a dispute between you and your retail customer, BizsSmart will determine the facts and attempt to resolve the issue.

That resolution will be final and not appealable. If we elect to make a cash payment to the retail customer to resolve the dispute, we will charge the payment to your account.

5.4 If the product was sold to and shipped directly by BizsSmart to your Customer, the Customer may contact us directly for return authorization and replacement/refund of the purchase. Customer should allow thirty days for processing of the refund.

5.5 We reserve the right to reject repetitive returns or replacements.

5.6 Refund and Replacement for IBOs

When you, as an IBO, make an authorized product replacement or refund under the Retail Customer Guarantee, we will provide you with the replacement product. You may then either provide the replacement product to your retail customer, or if a refund was made, you can sell the replacement product.

5.7 Product that is determined to be defective will be promptly replaced without charge.

5.8 BizsSmart reserves the right to recoup any commissions or other compensation paid when the product that generated that compensation is returned. In order to do so, we may deduct the outstanding amount prior to paying you any further commissions.

If your bonus check is insufficient to allow us to recover the compensation through a deduction, you agree to repay BizsSmart the amount due.

5.9 We will not repurchase products or issue refunds on products certified as having been consumed or sold under the 70% Resale Rule. Falsely representing the amount of product sold or consumed in order to advance in the marketing plan will be grounds for termination.

In Massachusetts and Wyoming: We will repurchase all unencumbered products in a resalable condition then in the possession of the participant. The repurchase shall be at a price of not less than ninety percent (90%) of the original net cost to the participant returning such goods, taking into account any sales made by or through such participant prior to notification to BizsSmart of the election to cancel.

In Louisiana: We will repurchase all or part of any product that are in a resalable condition at 85% of the original net cost to you, and repay 85% of the original net cost of any services provided to you, and refund ninety percent (90) of any other consideration you paid to us in order to participate in the marketing program.

In Montana: Montana residents who cancel their membership within 15 days are entitled to a 100% refund of any consideration given to participate.

SECTION 6:

General Operational Policies

6.0 Out-of-Market Sales

You may not sell BizsSmart products, sign up new IBOs or promote the income opportunity in countries or territories that have not been officially opened by BizsSmart. Nor may you export or sell directly or indirectly to others who may export BizsSmart products, literature, sales aids or promotional material relating to BizsSmart, its products or the BizsSmart program from, the United States or its possessions or territories to any other country. Any violation of this rule constitutes a material breach of this contract and is grounds for immediate termination of your IBO Position or Retail Customer status. The reason for this rule is that those who violate this provision could seriously jeopardize or compromise the ability of BizsSmart to obtain governmental approval in countries where approval is pending or planned.

6.1 Confidential Information

In order to assist you in the conduct of your BizsSmart business, we may supply you with reports and information. That information includes, but is not limited to, marketing plans and strategies, products, purchases, pricing and information concerning your down and upline sales organization. (All or any part of that information may be Retail to in these Policies and Procedures as the “Lists.”) You acknowledge and agree that all such information is BizsSmart property and must be held confidential. You agree that you will not directly or indirectly disclose any of the confidential information on the Lists to any third party or use any of the information to compete directly or indirectly with BizsSmart. You also recognize that BizsSmart marketplace is the network marketing industry, and that competition with BizsSmart includes using the Lists in other network marketing companies regardless of the type of product they might sell.

6.2 BizsSmart business relationship with its vendors, manufacturers and suppliers is confidential. You may not contact, directly or indirectly, or speak to or communicate with any representative of any of our suppliers or manufacturers except at a BizsSmart sponsored event at which such a supplier/representative is present at our request. Violation of this regulation may result in termination and possible claims for damages if the

vendor/manufacturer’s association with BizsSmart is compromised by your contact or actions.

6.3 Cross Sponsoring/Other Business Opportunities

An IBO or Retail Customer shall not sell to other BizsSmart IBOs, non-BizsSmart products or in any way promote to such BizsSmart IBO’s the opportunities in marketing programs of other companies.

6.4 You cannot sponsor or attempt to sponsor anyone from another BizsSmart sales group (down line or up line) into any other multilevel marketing (MLM) or network marketing organization. Nor may you introduce other business opportunities to any BizsSmart Independent Business Owner, except those you have personally enrolled. Violation of these policies is grounds for termination of the Independent Business Owner or Retail Customer. It may also give rise to other claims for unauthorized use of our confidential information.

6.5 You may not use BizsSmart’s customer network, or assist others, in using the Lists to sell other products or services. Use of Lists for anything other than marketing operations we have pre-approved is limited to those Independent Business Owners and Retail Customers that you have personally sponsored. Misuse of a List is grounds for, but is not limited to, termination of an IBO Position. The Lists are the exclusive property of BizsSmart. BizsSmart may, at its’ sole discretion, reclaim and take possession of the Lists. You also recognize and agree that misuse of the Lists cannot be fully compensated through monetary damages and, therefore, you agree that we may seek and obtain a temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting you from misusing the Lists. You also understand and agree that we may seek compensatory damages if you misuse the Lists. You also agree that the obligations under this section will survive the termination of your IBO Position.

6.6 Ghost IBOs

The practice of signing ‘Ghost’ IBOs is strictly prohibited. Any instances of this practice will result in immediate termination of the Business(s) involved. ‘Ghost’ IBOs are individuals or entities that are not aware of or have not given their express written agreement by knowingly signing an BizsSmart Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement or BizsSmart Retail Customer Application for their enrollment into BizsSmart as an Independent Business Owner or Retail Customer. In the case where there is no evidence or means to verify that the information on a BizsSmart Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement or BizsSmart Retail Customer Application is valid the application will be deemed to be a Ghost IBO.

6.7 Income Claims

IBOs or Retail Customers may not make any revenue or income claims, projections or misrepresentations. “Check flashing”, false, deceptive or misleading claims regarding the opportunity or products are prohibited. We firmly believe that the BizsSmart opportunity is great. Neither BizsSmart nor any of the Independent Business Owners need to resort to artificial and unrealistic projections. BizsSmart Independent

IBO earning claims should not be construed as representative of a fixed, or standard earnings from any BizsSmart business. The income levels achieved by BizsSmart Independent Business Owners are not intended to imply that another IBO will achieve the same level of income. The income levels achieved will be dependent upon the individual IBO’s business skills, personal ambition, time, commitment, activity and demographic factors.

6.8 Product Claims

You may not make any product claims at all.

6.9 Disciplinary Actions

If you violate any of the Policies and Procedures OR engage in any illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, or unethical business conduct, we may, at our sole discretion, invoke any disciplinary action that we deem appropriate. Among the potential disciplinary actions are:

a. Issuance of a written warning or admonition.

b. Imposition of a fine, which may be imposed immediately or withheld from future bonus or commission checks.

c. Reassignment of all or part of your down line organization.

d. Suspension, which may result in termination or reinstatement with conditions and/or restrictions.

e. Termination of your Independent Business Owner or Retail Customer position.

We will use our best efforts to first give you notice of the alleged violation and allow you to present facts that show that there has been no violation. However, if we believe that the violation is of a serious nature, we reserve the right to make our determination and take action without prior notice.

6.10 If you attempt to circumvent the Policies and Procedures to accomplish something indirectly that has been directly prohibited, you will be disciplined as if the applicable policy had been directly violated.

6.11 Suspension or Termination

You are not required to make any purchase in order to become an Independent Business Owner or Retail Customer, other than an annual administrative fee. You are not required to maintain an inventory of any kind in order to become an Independent IBO or Retail Customer. You may terminate your Position at any time for any reason by giving BizsSmart written notice of your termination.

6.12 We may suspend or terminate your IBO or Retail Customer status as a corrective action for any violation or alleged violation of the IBO or Retail Customer Application and Agreement, or any violation of the Policies and Procedures. Whenever there is a complaint or evidence of a prohibited activity, generally, we will contact you to let you know that we suspect a violation of a Company Policy or Procedure. We will generally offer you an opportunity to present facts that would show that you have not violated the Policy or Procedure. We reserve the right to make the final determination as to whether the Policy or Procedure has been violated and our decision is final and may not be appealed.

6.13 If we determine that suspension is an appropriate remedy, it could include any or all of the following:

All bonuses, commissions, prizes or recognition could be withheld. You could be restricted from participating in any BizsSmart activity, event or contest. You could be excluded from participating in any BizsSmart meetings, training or corporate sponsored events even if the qualification period for such events was prior to the suspension.

6.14 If we determine that termination is the appropriate remedy, you must immediately quit representing yourself as a BizsSmart Independent Business Owner.

6.15 If your IBO Position is terminated for any reason, you will lose your down line and any IBO compensation. If you decide to reapply for BizsSmart IBO, you will have to wait at least six (6) months from your termination date to submit the application.

6.16 After termination, you will still be liable for any compensation or bonus deductions that you would have had to pay as the result of returns that occur in your down line. If we have to file a lawsuit to collect those amounts, you agree to pay any collection and legal costs that we incur. We may also notify credit-reporting agencies of any delinquency.

6.17 Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

If a controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the IBO or Retail Customer relationship or to BizsSmart products cannot be resolved by negotiations, you and BizsSmart agree to submit the dispute to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) for binding arbitration in Clark County, Arizona. Clark County, Arizona shall be deemed the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any dispute between you and BizsSmart. The Independent Business Owner Application and Agreement and the Retail Customer Application and Agreement shall each be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Arizona, without reference to its choice of law provisions.

6.18 If the laws of any jurisdiction impose any requirement that is different from or in addition to those set forth in these Policies and Procedures, then the Policies and Procedures shall be deemed amended in conformance with those laws as to that jurisdiction only.
