Introduction

This page defines the terms of the relationship between Core-22 LLC and Core-22 affiliates entering our affiliate program. You agreed to these terms before completing the affiliate registration process and emailed immediately after.

Core-22 LLC provides affiliates or affiliate organizations with an online weight loss solution (Product) that combines all the features necessary for consumers to lose and control their weight. The Product includes educational videos about the principles of weight loss and control, daily feedback messages that let users know what they are doing right or wrong each day, a social support system that provides accountability and motivation to keep users making progress, and nutritional supplements that work with our food plan to reduce hunger, reduce cravings, and boost cell activity (metabolism) to burn more fat.

The Core-22 affiliate program allows Affiliates to promote the Core-22 Product as the Affiliate’s weight loss solution or the nutritional component of the organization’s solution. When consumers purchase using the Affiliate’s core-22 custom web address, Core-22 delivers the program and supplements, and the Affiliate earns a sales commission. The Affiliate is encouraged to communicate and follow their users’ progress through administration portals; however, this is entirely up to the affiliate.

The Affiliate’s URL is promoted to the friends and family (supporters) following the progress of anyone on the program that signed up using the affiliates URL.

The Affiliate Program Includes:

A Delivery Portal

The portal is where users learn the 22 weight loss principles, interact with the daily feedback tool, and communicate with supporters.

Affiliate URL

The affiliate URL is a custom web address chosen by the Affiliate. Consumers will use this unique URL to purchase the program.

Promotional Material

We will provide the Affiliate with fifty postcard-shaped handouts with the Affiliate’s custom URL printed on the back. The handout is not a mailable postcard. Instead, it is handed to potential dieters to promote a 10-minute video that explains how to lose weight without hunger. In addition, it describes the Core-22 program and how viewers can sign up with a money-back guarantee that allows them to view all the principles, download a food plan, and get their money back if they do not want to proceed and use the program to lose weight.

Administrative Portal (Management)

This portal allows an affiliate to register sales associates to promote the program and earn a portion of the sales commission, communicate with users, and track their progress. It also includes the promotional videos used to sell the program.

Administrative Portal (Sales Associates)

This portal allows sales associates to view the promotional videos used to sell the program. It provides sales associates with a unique discount code that tracks their sales and provides a discount to potential consumers. In addition, it allows them to communicate and follow the progress of the users that sign up using their discount code.

Support

We will work with you and your sales associates to ensure you know how the program works and how to promote it to earn sales commissions. In addition, we will respond to user questions and reach out to them if they need additional help.

Sales Commissions

Affiliates earn a sales commission for each weight loss program and specific supplement package sold when purchased with the Affiliate’s unique web address during the agreement period. Affiliates can share their commissions with sales associates at their discretion.

Commissions will be displayed on the sales commission page of your affiliate portal. Commissions are set based on product cost, shipping, and handling expenses. Because expenses can change, we reserve the right to adjust commissions from time to time with a 30-day notice.

Commissions are calculated at the end of each month and processed for payment within ten days. Commissions are paid directly to the Affiliate and the Affiliate’s sales associates through Tipalti, a third-party accounts payable vendor. The Affiliate and their sales associates must provide Tipalti with the necessary data to perform the required verifications (social security, delinquent child support, money laundering registry) before making deposits directly into the appropriate bank accounts. If Tipalti cannot process payment, they will notify the Affiliate or the Affiliate’s sales associate. Commissions of less than $50 will be deferred until they exceed $50.

Commissions End

Sales commissions will stop if either party terminates the Agreement. Commissions will also stop if the Affiliate (or the Affiliate’s sales staff) fails to generate any new program sales for three consecutive months.

Claw Backs

Because we offer users a money-back guarantee, there may be times when the commission paid will be deducted (clawed back) from the Affiliate’s next commission payment. Commission reports on the affiliate and sales staff portals will reflect any deductions.

Year-End Tax Forms

IRS form 1099 will be processed and delivered to the Affiliate and the Affiliate’s sales associates whenever the total sales commission earned by an individual exceeds $600 as required by law.

Independent parties

The Affiliate is an independent contractor. This affiliate agreement does not constitute the parties’ employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership. Core-22 LLC will not withhold taxes; provide workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance coverage for affiliates or the Affiliate’s registered sales associates. Affiliates may promote Core-22 as much or as little as they like, in the manner they choose, within the confines of the terms of this Affiliate Agreement. Core-22 LLC will not directly manage Affiliates or the Affiliate’s sales associates or oversee their efforts to promote the Product.

Notices

Notices should be emailed to the principals of this affiliate agreement.

Non-Disclosure, Non-Compete

Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that in providing the Product, Core-22 LLC may disclose confidential, proprietary, trade secret information (the “Confidential Information”) to the Affiliate. Confidential Information may include, but is not limited to; the Content delivered to users through the program, the web-based delivery of the program, computer programs, flowcharts, diagrams, manuals, schematics, development tools, specifications, design documents, marketing information, financial information or business plans.

During the period of this Agreement and for a period five years after that, the Affiliate agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information or any part thereof to any third party, except to the extent that such Confidential Information is or generally becomes available to the public through no fault of the Affiliate, is rightfully received by Affiliate from a third party without limitation as to its use, or is independently developed by the Affiliate. Affiliates may disclose confidential information with the prior written consent of Core-22 LLC. At the termination of this Agreement, the Affiliate will return the Product and all other Confidential Information.

In consideration for the use of the Product and agreed upon commissions structure, the Affiliate agrees that at no time during the term of this Agreement or the Five (5) year period immediately following its termination will it attempt to develop, or assist any other business to establish, an online weight loss solution that closely approximates the Core-22 Product’s information, features, principles, feedback system, social support system, and technical delivery systems.

Appropriate Use of Product

Affiliate agrees not to duplicate, reproduce, translate, modify, copy, print out, disassemble, decompile the Product, combine it with any other products, tamper with the Product, reverse engineer or decompile, decode, decrypt, or in any other way disassemble Product or in any way derive source code from the Product except to the extent the enforcement of the preceding is deemed prohibited by applicable law.

The program should be delivered to users without alteration. It works because it provides only the information found to be critical to weight loss and weight control. Therefore, there is no need for an affiliate or sales associate to explain, alter, or expand upon the principles.

The program works because the supplements provided and the Core-22 food plan works together. The supplements we recommend offer the right combination of nutrients necessary to reduce hunger and cravings and burn the maximum amount of fat. Users of the program should refrain from using a supplement substitution or deviating from the food plan. Changing the program will likely reduce a user’s chances of success and violate this licensing Agreement.

Use of the Core-22 Name and Logo

The Affiliate is licensed to use the Core-22 LLC logo and other related names only in connection with the Affiliate’s solicitation of sales and servicing of Core-22 LLC products during the agreement period. Any other use must be pre-approved by Core-22.

Agreement Period

Affiliate shall have a non-exclusive, non-transferable agreement to use the Product until terminated by either party at the end of the month after notice to terminate is given. This Agreement will automatically terminate, without notice, when there are no direct sales by the Affiliate or the Affiliate’s sales staff for three or more months. The Affiliate’s obligations under the heading of “Non-Disclosure, Non-Compete” above shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Core-22 will pay all sales commissions earned on purchases made before the termination date. Purchases made after termination will not generate sales commissions for either the Affiliate or their sales associates.

Sales Staff Termination

Suppose a staff member is no longer associated with or employed by the Affiliate. In that case, they will continue to earn sales commissions until Core-22 is notified and has ended their sales structure. Core-22 will pay all sales commissions earned before that change.

Core-22 Websites

Core-22 reserves the sole and complete discretion to modify core-22 websites. Core-22 further reserves the right to suspend websites for periodic maintenance, equipment malfunction, or causes beyond Core-22’s control. Core-22 further reserves the right to terminate core-22 websites. The Affiliate’s continued access to or use of the core-22 websites constitutes acceptance of such modifications. Core-22 shall not be liable to the Affiliate for any modification, suspension, or termination of the core-22 websites.

Core-22 LLC Warranties

Core-22 LLC represents and warrants that it has the requisite right and legal authority to grant the Affiliate a license to use the Product and the Confidential Information as contemplated by this Agreement.
