SECTION 2 – INTRODUCTION
2.1 – POLICIES AND COMPENSATION PLAN INCORPORATED INTO MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
These Policies and Procedures, in their present form and as amended at the sole discretion of UrDeliveryBiz, are incorporated into, and form an integral part of, the UrDeliveryBiz Membership Agreement. Throughout these Policies, when the term “Agreement” is used, it collectively refers to the UrDeliveryBiz Member Application and Agreement Form, these Policies and Procedures and the UrDeliveryBiz Compensation Plan. These documents are incorporated by reference into the UrDeliveryBiz Membership Agreement (all in their current form and as amended by UrDeliveryBiz).
2.2 – PURPOSE OF POLICIES
UrDeliveryBiz is a direct sales company that markets communication tools through Independent Members. It is important to understand that your success and the success of your fellow Members depends on the integrity of those who market our goods. To clearly define the relationship that exists between Members and UrDeliveryBiz, and to explicitly set a standard for acceptable business conduct, UrDeliveryBiz has established the Agreement. UrDeliveryBiz Members are required to comply with all of the provisions set forth in the Agreement, which UrDeliveryBiz may amend at its sole discretion from time to time, as well as with all federal, state and local laws governing their UrDeliveryBiz business and their conduct. Because you may be unfamiliar with many of these standards of practice, it is very important that you read and abide by the Agreement. Please review the information in this document carefully. It explains and governs the relationship between you, as an independent contractor, and the Company. If you have any questions regarding any policy or rule, do not hesitate to seek an answer from the UrDeliveryBiz corporate office.
2.3 – CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT
Because laws and the business environment periodically change, UrDeliveryBiz reserves the right to amend the Agreement, compensation plan and its prices at its sole and absolute discretion. By signing the Membership Agreement, a Member agrees to abide by all amendments or modifications that UrDeliveryBiz elects to make. Amendments shall be effective 30 days after publication of notice of amendments in official UrDeliveryBiz materials. The Company shall provide or make available to all Members a complete copy of the amended provisions by one or more of the following methods: (a) posting on the Company’s official website; (b) electronic mail (email); (c) inclusion in Company periodicals; (d) inclusion with commissions or bonus checks; or (e) special mailings. The continuation of a Member’s UrDeliveryBiz business or a Member’s acceptance of bonuses or commissions constitutes acceptance of any and all amendments.
2.4 – DELAYS
UrDeliveryBiz shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance of its obligations when performance is made commercially impracticable due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This includes, without limitation, strikes, labor difficulties, riot, war, fire, death, curtailment of a party’s source of supply, government decrees or orders, and acts of God.
2.5 – POLICIES AND PROVISIONS SEVERABLE
If any provision of the Agreement, in its current form or as may be amended, is found to be invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, only the invalid portion(s) of the provision shall be severed and the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision never comprised a part of the Agreement.
2.6 – WAIVER
The Company never gives up its right to insist on compliance with the Agreement and with the applicable laws governing the conduct of a business. No failure of UrDeliveryBiz to exercise any right or power under the Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance by a Member with any obligation or provision of the Agreement, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms of the Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of UrDeliveryBiz’s right to demand exact compliance with the Agreement. Waiver by UrDeliveryBiz can be affected only in writing by an authorized officer of the Company. UrDeliveryBiz’s waiver of any particular breach by a Member shall not affect or impair UrDeliveryBiz’s rights with respect to any subsequent breach, nor shall it affect in any way the rights or obligations of any other Member. Nor shall any delay or omission by UrDeliveryBiz to exercise any right arising from a breach affect or impair UrDeliveryBiz’s rights as to that or any subsequent breach. The existence of any claim or cause of action of a Member against UrDeliveryBiz shall not constitute a defense to UrDeliveryBiz’s enforcement of any term or provision of the Agreement.

Each Member must immediately notify UrDeliveryBiz of all changes to the information contained in his or her Member Application and Agreement. Members may modify their existing Membership Agreement Form by submitting a written request and appropriate supporting documentation.
4.4.2 – CHANGE OF SPONSOR
To protect the integrity of all marketing organizations and safeguard the hard work of all Members, UrDeliveryBiz does not allow changes in sponsorship for active Members. Maintaining the integrity of sponsorship is critical for the success of every Member and marketing organization. Accordingly, the transfer of a UrDeliveryBiz business from one sponsor to another is not permitted.
Exception – A request for a change in sponsor, due to UrDeliveryBiz error, will be accepted within 45 days of completion of the application.
4.4.3 – CANCELLATION AND RE-APPLICATION
A Member may legitimately change organizations by:
a) Voluntarily canceling his or her UrDeliveryBiz Agreement and remaining inactive (i.e., no purchases of UrDeliveryBiz products for resale; no sales of UrDeliveryBiz products; no sponsoring; and no attendance at any UrDeliveryBiz functions, participation in any other form of Member activity, or operation of any other UrDeliveryBiz business) for 6 full calendar months.
Following the 6 calendar month period of inactivity, the former Member may reapply under a new sponsor. However, the former Member will permanently lose any and all right to their former Member downline organization.
4.5 – UNAUTHORIZED CLAIMS AND ACTIONS
4.5.1 – INDEMNIFICATION
A Member is fully responsible for all of his or her verbal and written statements made regarding UrDeliveryBiz products, and the Compensation Plan that are not expressly contained in official UrDeliveryBiz materials. Members agree to indemnify UrDeliveryBiz and UrDeliveryBiz’s directors, officers, employees and agents and hold them harmless from any and all liability, including judgments, civil penalties, refunds, attorney fees, court costs or lost business incurred by UrDeliveryBiz as a result of the Member’s unauthorized representations or actions. This provision shall survive the termination of the Membership Agreement.
4.5.2 – INCOME CLAIMS
In their enthusiasm to enroll prospective Members, some Members are occasionally tempted to make income claims or earnings representations to demonstrate the inherent power of network marketing. This is counterproductive because new Members may become disappointed very quickly if their results are not as extensive or as rapid as the results others have achieved.
Moreover, the Federal Trade Commission and all states have laws or regulations that regulate or even prohibit certain types of income claims and testimonials made by persons engaged in network marketing. While Members may believe it beneficial to provide copies of checks, or to disclose the earnings of themselves or others, such approaches have legal consequences that can negatively impact UrDeliveryBiz as well as the Member making the claim unless appropriate disclosures required by law are also made contemporaneously with the income claim or earnings representation. Because Members do not have the data necessary to comply with the legal requirements for making income claims, a Member may NOT make income projections, income claims or disclose his or her UrDeliveryBiz income (including the showing of checks, copies of checks, bank statements or tax records).
4.6 – CONDUCT AT URDELIVERYBIZ EVENTS
4.6.1 – NO SELLING OR RECRUITING AT URDELIVERYBIZ EVENTS

4.6.2 – NO SELLING OR RECRUITING FOR OTHER COMPANIES AT URDELIVERYBIZ EVENTS
UrDeliveryBiz Members shall not sell any goods or recruit for any business during UrDeliveryBiz events.

4.7 – CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
4.7.1 – NON-COMPETE POLICY
UrDeliveryBiz Members are free to participate in other Member marketing business ventures or marketing opportunities (collectively “network marketing”), with the exception of those products in the same generic category as a UrDeliveryBiz goods that is deemed to be competing. Members may not display UrDeliveryBiz products with any other products or in a fashion that might in any way confuse or mislead a prospective customer, merchant or Member into believing there is a relationship between the UrDeliveryBiz and non-UrDeliveryBiz products.
UrDeliveryBiz Members shall not work for competing companies. UrDeliveryBiz Members shall not start their own dealerships with competing companies, without prior written approval from UrDeliveryBiz. Failure to get written approval could result in deactivation.
4.7.2 – NON-SOLICITATION
During the term of this Agreement, Members may not recruit other UrDeliveryBiz Members or Merchants or customers for any other direct sales or network marketing business. Following the cancellation of this Agreement, and for a period of one year thereafter, a former Member may not recruit any UrDeliveryBiz Member or customer for another direct sales or network marketing business, with the exception of a Member who is personally sponsored by the former Member. The Members and Company recognize that because direct sales or network marketing is conducted through networks of independent contractors dispersed across the entire United States and internationally, and business is commonly conducted via the Internet and telephone, an effort to narrowly limit the geographic scope of this non-solicitation provision would render it wholly ineffective. Therefore, the Members and Company agree that this non-solicitation provision shall apply to all markets in which UrDeliveryBiz conducts business.
The term “recruit” means actual or attempted solicitation, enrollment, encouragement or effort to influence in any other way, either directly or through a third party, another UrDeliveryBiz Member or customer to enroll or participate in another direct sales or network marketing business or direct sales opportunity. This conduct constitutes recruiting even if the
Member’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Member or customer.

Downline Activity Reports are provided to Members in the strictest of confidence and are made available to Members for the sole purpose of assisting Members in working with their respective Downline Organizations in the development of their UrDeliveryBiz business. Members should use their Downline Activity Reports to assist, motivate and train their Downline Members. The Member and UrDeliveryBiz agree that, but for this agreement of confidentiality and nondisclosure, UrDeliveryBiz would not provide Downline Activity Reports to the Member. A Member shall not, on his or her own behalf, or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity:

Actual or attempted cross-sponsoring is strictly prohibited. “Cross-sponsoring” is defined as the enrollment of an individual or entity that already has a current Customer, Merchant or Membership Agreement on file with UrDeliveryBiz, or who has had such an agreement within the preceding 6 calendar months, within a different line of sponsorship. The use of a spouse or relative’s name, trade names, assumed names or fictitious ID numbers to circumvent this policy is prohibited. Members shall not demean, discredit or defame other UrDeliveryBiz Members in an attempt to entice another Member to become part of the first Member’s marketing organization. If a prohibited organization transfer occurs, UrDeliveryBiz shall take disciplinary action against the Member(s) who engaged, acquiesced and/or knowingly participated in the improper cross-sponsoring. However, it shall be entirely within UrDeliveryBiz’s discretion where in the genealogical structure, the cross-sponsored organization in question shall be placed or otherwise distributed.
Because equities often exist in favor of both upline organizations, MEMBERS WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY FOR ITS DECISION REGARDING THE FINAL DISPOSITION OR PLACEMENT OF THE CROSS-SPONSORED ORGANIZATION.
4.9 – ERRORS OR QUESTIONS
If a Member has questions about or believes any errors have been made regarding commissions, bonuses, Downline Activity Reports, or charges, the Member must notify the Member Care Department at UrDeliveryBiz’s headquarters in___________________, in writing, within 15 days of the date of the purported error or incident in question.

Members are encouraged to check with their state government before sending a form to UrDeliveryBiz.
4.15 – INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS

So long as a Member remains active and complies with the terms of the Membership Agreement and these Policies and Procedures, UrDeliveryBiz shall pay commissions to such Member in accordance with the Compensation Plan. A Member’s bonuses and commissions constitute the entire consideration for the Member’s efforts in generating sales and all activities related to generating sales (including building a Downline Organization). Following a Member’s termination for inactivity, or voluntary or involuntary termination of his or her Membership Agreement (all of these methods are collectively referred to as “termination”), the former Member shall have no right, title, claim or interest to the marketing organization that he or she operated, or any commission or bonus from the sales generated by the organization. A Member whose business is terminated will lose all rights as a Member. This includes the right to sell UrDeliveryBiz products and the right to receive future commissions, bonuses or other income resulting from the sales and other activities of the Member’s former Downline sales organization. In the event of termination, Members agree to waive all rights they may have, including but not limited to property rights, to their former Downline organization and to any bonuses, commissions or other remuneration derived from the sales and other activities of his or her former Downline organization.
Following a Member’s termination of his or her Membership Agreement, the former Member shall not hold himself or herself out as an UrDeliveryBiz Member. A Member whose Membership Agreement is terminated shall receive commissions and bonuses only for the last full pay period he or she was active prior to cancellation (less any amounts withheld during an investigation preceding an involuntary termination).
10.2 – INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION
A Member’s violation of any of the terms of the Agreement, including any amendments that may be made by UrDeliveryBiz in its sole discretion, may result in any of the sanctions listed in Section 9.1, including the involuntary termination of his or her Membership Agreement. Cancellation shall be effective on the date on which written notice is mailed, faxed or delivered to an express courier to the Member’s last known address (or fax number), or to his or her attorney, or when the Member receives actual notice of termination, whichever occurs first.
10.3 – VOLUNTARY TERMINATION
A Member has a right to cancel, at any time, regardless of reason. Termination must be submitted in writing to the Company at its principal business address. The written notice must include the Member’s signature, printed name, address and Member ID number. Members who have resigned may re-apply to become a Member with UrDeliveryBiz after 6 months. A Member’s position is subject to termination due to inactivity (i.e., merchant enrollments, no commissions, no sponsoring; and no attendance at any UrDeliveryBiz functions, participation in any other form of Member activity, or operation of any other UrDeliveryBiz business) after being inactive for 6 full calendar months.
10.4 – NON-RENEWAL
A Member may also voluntarily cancel his or her Membership Agreement at any time by failing to maintain the Agreement and keep the Member account up to date.
If monthly payment is declined, the Member account shall be placed into suspended status for a term of ten (10) business days (“Suspension Period”). Member has ten (10) days from the date of suspension to rectify the account by paying any past due payment.
During the Suspension Period, Member may still acquire new customers but will not be compensated for these new customers until the Member account is brought up to date with current payment.
After the Suspension Period expires, Member account shall be canceled. For a period of six (6) months from the date of cancellation of the Member account, Member may rectify the account and make any past due payments in order to re-active the account. After six (6) months of non-payment of a canceled Member account, Member may rectify the account and bring the account up to date with current payment and either maintain the same Member account and sales organization or the Member may begin a new account.
The Company may also elect not to renew a Member’s Agreement at any time.
