OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Our (Farmasi US LLC doing business as “Farmasi”, “We,” “Our,” etc.) Privacy Policy has been developed as an extension of our commitment to combine quality products and services with integrity in dealing with users. The Policy is designed to assist you in the understanding of how we collect, use, and protect the personal information provided to us.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit our website, we collect two types of information: personal information you actively choose to disclose (“Active Information”) and information not visible to you that arises out of your browsing of our Site (“Passive Information”). Please note that Passive Information is collected on an aggregate and anonymous basis.
1. Personally Identifiable Information
Personally, Identifiable Information (“PII”) is information that identifies and is reasonably linked to you.
A. Registration
When you register to become an authorized reseller of our products or services, we will collect PII (which may include, but not limited to, names, address, email address, and telephone numbers). This PII is securely stored and may be accessed on our website. You are assigned an identification number and select your own password – both are needed to enter the Site and to access your Contact Information. Please safeguard your password in a secure location as we are not responsible for breaches into the system when access is willingly provided.
B. Ordering
When you place an order for products or services, we collect PII (e.g., name, contact and billing information, credit card, and other transactional information). We use this information to deliver your order, process payment, and to communicate the status of your order.
C. Credit and Debit Card Storage
Credit and debit card information collected at registration or for product orders is used only to process payment for the transaction and, generally, is not retained on our webiste. However, you may voluntarily elect to securely store multiple credit cards to be used for product orders.
D. Surveys and Promotions
Occasionally, you may voluntarily provide PII to complete surveys and questionnaires or to participate in user polls. We use this information to improve our products and services and to ensure that we’re providing accurate disclosures. We may also use your PII to provide you newsletters and other marketing information that coincide with your preferences. You may customize your marketing preferences or let us know if you do not wish to receive any promotional materials, by adjusting your Subscriptions & Email options on the website.

2. Passive Information
We store and collect various types of passive information on an aggregate and anonymous basis. This information may include such technical information as it pertains to your Internet protocol address, your device operating system and browser type, cookies, and an address of a referring website or any other path you take to reach our website all described in greater detail below.
Aggregate Information

Such information would include the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website that referred you to our website, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the web), your operating system and browser type, and any search terms that you enter on our website. Our web server aggregates this information to monitor the level of activity on our website, evaluate its effectiveness, and improve the content or our website in order to make your visit an easy and enjoyable experience.
We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, or otherwise disclose or use any Aggregate Information, provided that such information does not personally identify you. We do not correlate any PII with the Aggregate Information that we collect on our website. If we do correlate any Aggregate Information to you, it will be protected like any other PII under this Privacy Statement.

D. These Policies and Procedures shall become effective as of January 3, 2019 (“Effective Date”).
1.3 These Policies and Procedures and the Compensation Plan Incorporated into the Farmasi Influencer Agreement
- Throughout these Policies, when the term “Agreement” is used, this collectively refers to the Farmasi Influencer Agreement, these Policies and Procedures, and the Company Compensation Plan.
- It is the responsibility of a Sponsoring Farmasi Influencer to provide the most current version of these Policies and Procedures and the Company Compensation Plan to each applicant before any execution of a Farmasi Influencer Agreement.
1.4 Changes, Amendments, and Modifications
- Because federal, state, and local laws, as well as the business environment, periodically change, we reserve the right to amend the Agreement from time to time. Additionally, the Company may change and amend the prices of all its product at any time in the future. Please note, that this provision does NOT apply to the arbitration clause found in Section 12, which can only be modified via mutual consent.

- Posting on the official Corporate website.
- Electronic mail (e-mail); or
- In writing through Company newsletters or corporate communication channels.

This includes, without limitation, strikes, labor difficulties, transportation difficulties, riots, war, fire, and/or weather, curtailment of a source of supply, or government decrees or orders.
2.0 BASIC PRINCIPLES
2.1 Becoming a Farmasi Influencer
As a Farmasi Farmasi Influencer, you will be a part of a team of passionate, driven, like-minded individuals,
all working towards the common goal of achieving emotional, personal, and financial success. To become a Farmasi Influencer, you must comply with the following requirements:
- Be of the age of majority (not a minor) in your state of residence. If you are a minor, you must have a completed and signed Parental Consent Form approved by the Compliance department.
- Reside or have a valid address in the United States, U.S. territory, Canada, or Mexico.
- Have a valid taxpayer identification number (i.e. Social Security Number, Social Insurance Number (Canada), Federal Tax ID Number, ITIN, etc.).
- Submit a properly completed and signed (via hard copy or electronic signature) Farmasi Influencer Agreement.
- Not be a Farmasi employee or the spouse or relative of a Company employee living in the same household; and
- The purchase of a Farmasi Starter Kit.
2.2 Registration and Enrollment of a Farmasi Influencer
- You can submit your Farmasi Influencer Agreement through mail or the Farmasi website (http://www.farmasius.com). The application must be received within five (5) business days of your enrollment for you to receive Farmasi Influencer benefits. If the Farmasi Influencer Agreement is not received within five (5) business days, your Farmasi Influencer account will remain on temporary hold until We receive the Agreement.
- A potential new Farmasi Influencer may also enroll on the Sponsor’s replicated website. Instead of a physically signed Farmasi Influencer Agreement, we will accept the web enrollment through the “electronic signature.” The electronic signature signifies that the new Farmasi Influencer has accepted the terms and conditions of the Farmasi Influencer Agreement, the Policies and Procedures, the Terms of Use, and the Compensation Plan. Please note that such an electronic signature constitutes a legally binding agreement between you and the Company.
C. Farmasi reserves the right to require signed paperwork for any account, regardless of origin.
- Signed documents, including, but not limited to Farmasi Influencer Agreements, are legally binding contracts that must not be altered, tampered with, or changed in any manner after execution. False or misleading information, forged signatures, or alterations to any document, including business registration forms, made after a document has been executed may lead to sanctions, up to and including the involuntary termination of a Farmasi Influencer’s Farmasi business.
2.3 Rights Granted
Farmasi hereby grants to you as a Farmasi Influencer the non-exclusive right, based upon the terms and conditions contained in the Farmasi Influencer Agreement and these Policies and Procedures, to the following:
- The ability to purchase, sell and promote Farmasi products and services.
- Sponsor new Farmasi Influencers and Customers in the United States, Canada, or Mexico building a sales organization and earning commissions of the personal and downline sales of Farmasi products.
2.4 Identification Numbers
- Each Farmasi Influencer is required to provide his or her Social Security Number, or Federal Tax Identification Number, if located in the United States or any of its territories, to the Company on the Farmasi Influencer Agreement. Those who do not provide a Social Security Number or Federal Tax Identification Number will have a deduction of 24% from their commission removed until one is provided. We reserve the right to withhold commission payments from any Farmasi Influencer who fails to provide such information or who provides false information.
- Upon enrollment, we will provide you with a Farmasi Identification Number. This number will be used to place orders, structure organizations, and track commissions and bonuses.
2.5 Business Entities
- A corporation, partnership, LLC, or trust (collectively referred to as a “Business Entity”) may apply to be a Farmasi Influencer. This Farmasi business and position will remain temporary until the submission of proper Business Entity documents. As examples of proper documents, we expect a Business Entity application to submit some of the following: Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Organization, Partnership Agreement, or appropriate Trust documents. We must receive these documents within five (5) business days from the execution date of the Farmasi Influencer Agreement.
- A Farmasi Influencer may change his or her status under the same Sponsor from an individual to a Business Entity so long as he or she complies with Section 2.5(A).
2.6 Independent Business Relationship; Indemnification for Actions
- As a Farmasi Influencer, you are an independent contractor and not a purchaser of a franchise or business opportunity. As a result, each Farmasi Influencer’s success depends entirely upon his, or her or their independent efforts.
- The Agreement between you and Us does not create an employer/employee relationship, agency, partnership, or joint venture.
- A Farmasi Influencer shall not be treated as an employee of Farmasi for any purposes, including, without limitation, federal or state tax purposes. You are responsible for paying local, state, and federal taxes due from all compensation earned as a Farmasi Influencer. Any other compensation received by Farmasi Influencers from the Company will be governed by applicable U.S. tax laws (or the tax laws of any other applicable jurisdiction). You as a Farmasi Influencer have no express or implied authority to bind Farmasi to any obligation or to make any commitments by or on behalf of the Company. Each Farmasi Influencer, whether acting as management of a Business Entity or represented as an individual, shall establish goals, hours, and methods of operation and sale, so long as in compliance with the terms of the Farmasi Influencer Agreement, these Policies and Procedures and applicable state and federal laws.
- You are fully responsible for all your verbal and written communications made regarding Farmasi products, services, and the Compensation Plan that are not expressly contained within official Company materials. Farmasi Influencers shall indemnify and hold harmless Farmasi, its directors, officers, employees, product suppliers and agents from any and against all liability including judgments, civil penalties, refunds, attorney fees and court costs incurred by Farmasi as a result of a Farmasi Influencer’s unauthorized representations or actions. This provision shall survive the termination of the Farmasi Influencer Agreement.
2.7 Errors or Questions
If a Farmasi Influencer has questions about or believes any errors have been made regarding commissions, bonuses, business reports, orders, or charges, the Company requires any inquiries by submitting a ticket through your Farmasi Back Office within thirty (30) days of the date of the error or incident in question. Any such errors, omissions, or problems not reported within this thirty-day timeframe days is expressly waived by Farmasi Influencer.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES OF A FARMASI FARMASI INFLUENCER
3.1 Correct Addresses
- It is the responsibility of any Customer/Farmasi Influencer to ensure the Company has the correct shipping address before the shipment of any orders.
- For any notice of address change sent to the Company, a Customer/ Farmasi Influencer will need to allow up to thirty (30) days for processing.
3.2 Training and Leadership
- Any Farmasi Influencer who sponsors another Farmasi Influencer into Farmasi must perform an authentic assistance and training function to ensure those made up of their downline organizations operate their business by these Policies and Procedures. Sponsoring Farmasi Influencers should have ongoing contact and communication with those in their downline organizations. Examples of communication may include but are not limited to, newsletters, written correspondence, telephone, contact, team calls, voice-mail, e-mail, personal meetings, accompaniment of downline Farmasi Influencer(s) to Company meetings, training sessions, webinars, and any other related functions.
- Sponsors may strategically place newly enrolled Farmasi Influencers anywhere in their organization up to the 4th generation during the new Farmasi Influencer's first 30 days of enrollment. To make a placement change you must complete a Placement Change Form and submit it to the company. The Placement Change Form requires three signatures, the signature of the new Farmasi Influencer, the signature of the new Sponsor, and the signature of the current Sponsor making the request. If a Placement Change Form is received after a commissionable period, any orders made by a new Farmasi Influencer will not be moved under the new Sponsor. Strategic placement will also apply to the Farmasi Influencers who rolled up due to the resignation/termination of a frontline.
- For Strategic placement of downline members who have a bonus level below 15% in our compensation plan, you must notify of the strategic placement. If the downline member you are attempting to strategically place does not respond within 15 days, you can strategically place them by sending an email to our Compliance department. If a downline member expresses, they do not want to be moved, they cannot be obligated to the strategic placement.
- Farmasi may take appropriate action against a Farmasi Influencer if it determines, in its sole discretion that, a Farmasi Influencer neglects to train and assist their downline organization. Appropriate action may include, but is not limited to, sponsorship change of the neglected downline members along with their respective downlines up to termination of their Farmasi Influencer agreement and account.
- A Sponsoring Farmasi Influencer should monitor the Farmasi Influencer(s) in his or her downline organizations to ensure that downline Farmasi Influencer(s) do not make improper product or business claims or engage in any illegal or inappropriate conduct. Upon request, a Farmasi Influencer should be able to provide documented evidence to the Company of his or her ongoing fulfillment of sponsor responsibilities.
- Upline Farmasi Influencers are encouraged to motivate and train new Farmasi Influencer(s) about Company products and services, effective sales techniques, the Company Compensation Plan, and compliance with these Policies and Procedures.
- The marketing and sale of products is a required activity in Farmasi and must be emphasized in all recruiting presentations. Moreover, we prioritize all Farmasi Influencers to sell Farmasi products and services to Customers first and prospective and current Farmasi Influencers second.
- Use of Sales Aids. The creation of Farmasi sales tools is limited to 6% and above. These Farmasi Influencers must submit all written sales aids, promotional materials, advertisements, websites, and other literature to the Company for approval before use. Unless the Farmasi Influencer receives specific written approval to use the material, the request shall be deemed denied. All Farmasi Influencers shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of Farmasi and its products. Once approved, Company reserves the right to incorporate the approved training material in its promotional efforts.
3.3 Constructive Criticism; Ethics
It is Our goal to provide you with a combination of exceptional products and a rewarding Compensation Plan. Accordingly, we value constructive criticism and encourage the submission of written comments addressed to the Company’s Compliance Department so long as such comments come by way respectfully and productively. Negative and disparaging comments by Farmasi Influencers made to others about the Company, its products or Compensation Plan, or disruptive behavior at Company meetings or events, serve no purpose other than to dampen the enthusiasm of all those who participate in the Farmasi business. Farmasi Influencers must not belittle the Company, other Farmasi Influencers, the Company products or services, the Compensation Plan, or Company directors, officers, or employees, product suppliers, or agents. Such conduct represents a material breach of these Policies and Procedures and may be subject to sanctions as the Company sees fit.
Farmasi endorses the following Code of Ethics:
- Farmasi Influencers must show fairness, tolerance, and respect to all people associated with Farmasi and Farmasi sales opportunities regardless of race, gender, social class, or religion.
- Farmasi Influencers must contribute to and foster an atmosphere of positivity, teamwork, good morale, and community spirit.
- Farmasi Influencers shall strive to resolve business issues, including situations with upline and downline members through tact, sensitivity, and goodwill.
- Farmasi Influencers must be honest, responsible, professional and conduct themselves with integrity.
- Farmasi Influencers shall never disparage the Company, other Farmasi Influencers, Company employees, product suppliers or agents, products, services, sales, and marketing campaigns, or the Compensation Plan, or make statements that unreasonably offend, mislead, or coerce others.
Farmasi may take appropriate action against a Farmasi Influencer if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Farmasi Influencer’s conduct is detrimental, disruptive, or injurious to the Company, other Farmasi Influencers, or Farmasi Customers.
3.4 Reporting Policy Violation
A Farmasi Influencer who observes a policy violation by another Farmasi Influencer should submit a written and signed letter (e-mail will not be accepted) of the violation directly to the Company Compliance Department. The letter shall set forth the details of the incident as follows:
- The nature of the violation and specific facts to support the allegation;
- Number of occurrences and dates;
- The Persons involved; and
- Any other supporting documentation
Upon presentation to the Company Compliance Department, we will research the incident in question and take appropriate action if necessary. This section refers to the general reporting of policy violations as observed by other Farmasi Influencers for the mutual effort to support, protect, and defend the integrity of the Farmasi business and sales opportunity. If a Farmasi Influencer has a grievance or complaint against another Farmasi Influencer which directly relates to his, or her, or its Farmasi business, the procedures outlined in these Policies must be followed.
3.5 Sponsorship
- The Sponsor is the person who introduces a person, whether a Customer or a Farmasi Influencer, to the Farmasi business and helps them complete their enrollment, supports those in their downline, and continues to provide training and assistance for all those in their downline.
- The Company recognizes the Sponsor as the name(s) shown on the first:
- Physically signed Farmasi Influencer Agreement on file; or
- Electronically signed Farmasi Influencer Agreement from either the Company’s website or a Farmasi Influencer’s replicated website.
- A Farmasi Influencer Agreement that contains notations such as “by phone” or the signatures of other individuals (i.e. Sponsors, Spouses, relatives, or friends) is not valid and will not be accepted by the Company.
- We recognize that each new prospect has the right to ultimately choose his or her Sponsor, but We will not allow Farmasi Influencers to engage in unethical sponsoring activities.
- All active Farmasi Influencers in good standing have the right to sponsor and enroll others into the Farmasi business. While engaged in sponsoring activities, it is not uncommon to encounter situations when more than one Farmasi Influencer will approach the same prospect. It is the accepted courtesy that the new prospect will be sponsored by the first Farmasi Influencer who presented a comprehensive introduction to the Company’s products or opportunity.
3.6 Cross Sponsoring Prohibition
- “Cross sponsoring” is defined as the enrollment of an individual or Business entity into a different line of sponsorship who has already signed a Farmasi Influencer Agreement. Actual or attempted cross-sponsoring is not allowed. If cross-sponsoring is verified by the Company, sanctions up to and including termination of a Farmasi Influencer’s business may be imposed.
- The use of a Spouse’s or relative’s name, trade names, assumed names, DBA names, corporation, partnership, trust, Federal ID numbers, or fictitious ID numbers to evade or circumvent this policy is strictly prohibited.
- This policy does not prohibit the transfer of a Farmasi business by the Sale or Transfer policy set forth herein.
3.7 Adherence to the Farmasi Compensation Plan
- A Farmasi Influencer must adhere to the terms of the Company Compensation Plan. Any deviation from the Compensation Plan is strictly prohibited.
- A Farmasi Influencer shall not offer the Farmasi opportunity through, or in combination with, any other system, program, or method of marketing other than that specifically outlined in official Company materials.
- A Farmasi Influencer shall not require or encourage a current or prospective Customer/ Farmasi Influencer to participate in the Farmasi business in any manner that varies from the Compensation Plan or other Company materials.
- Other than such purchases or payments required to naturally build their business, a Farmasi Influencer
shall not require or encourage a current or prospective Customer/ Farmasi Influencer to make a purchase from or payment to any individual or other entity as a condition of participating in the Company Compensation Plan.
3.8 Adherence to Laws and Ordinances
Many cities and counties have laws regulating certain home-based businesses. In most cases, these ordinances do not apply to Farmasi Influencers because of the nature of the business. However, Farmasi Influencers must check their local laws and obey the laws that do apply to them. A Farmasi Influencer shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations in their independent conducting of Farmasi business.
3.9 Compliance with Applicable Income Tax Laws
- Farmasi will automatically provide a complete Tax form (nonemployee compensation) to each United States (USD 600), Canada (CAD 500) Farmasi Influencer whose earnings for the year are at least USD 600 or CAD 500 or who has purchased more than $5,000 of Farmasi products for resale, or who received trips, prizes or awards valued at $600 or more.
- A Farmasi Influencer accepts sole responsibility for and agrees to pay all federal, state, and local taxes on any income generated as an independent business owner, and further agrees to indemnify Farmasi from any failure to pay such tax amounts when due.
- If a Farmasi Influencer’s business is tax exempt, the Federal Tax Identification Number must be provided to the Company in writing.
- Farmasi encourages all Farmasi Influencers to consult with a tax advisor for additional information for their business.
3.10 One Farmasi Business Per Person
A Farmasi Influencer may operate or have an ownership interest, whether legal or equitable, as a sole proprietorship, partner, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary, in only one Farmasi business. No individual may have, operate, or receive compensation from more than one Farmasi business. If each subsequent family position is placed within the first enrolled family member’s frontline, individuals in the same family unit may each enter or have an interest in their separate Farmasi businesses. A “family unit” is defined as spouses and dependent children living or conducting business at the same address. Note: Children of legal age to contract and at least 18 years of age are not considered a part of their parent's household.
3.11 Actions of Household Members or Affiliated Parties
If any member of your immediate household engages in any activity which, if performed by you, would violate any provision of the Agreement, such activity will be deemed a violation by you. As a result, the Company may take disciplinary action under these Policies and Procedures against you. Similarly, if any individual associated in any way with a corporation, partnership, LLC, trust, or other entity (collectively “Business Entity”) violates the Agreement, such action(s) will be deemed a violation by the Business Entity, and the Company may take disciplinary action against the Business Entity. Likewise, if a Farmasi Influencer enrolls in Farmasi as a Business Entity, each affiliated party of the Business Entity shall be personally and individually bound to, and must comply with, the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
3.12 Solicitation for Other Companies or Products
- A Farmasi Influencer may participate in other direct sales, multilevel, network marketing, or relationship marketing business ventures or marketing opportunities (collectively “Network Marketing”). However, during the Term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, you may not recruit any other Farmasi Customer or Farmasi Influencer for any other Network Marketing business, unless said Customer or Farmasi Influencer was personally sponsored by you.
- 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 Customer, or Farmasi Influencer to enroll or participate in any Network Marketing opportunity. This conduct represents recruiting even if the Farmasi Influencer’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Customer or Farmasi Influencer.
- Due to the visibility of our higher-ranking Farmasi Influencers, Farmasi Farmasi Influencers who achieve the rank of Golden Manager or above agree not to participate in any Network Marketing or party plan company, regardless of if the company sells competing products or not. This restriction applies even if the Farmasi Influencer has fallen out of the Golden Manager qualification.
- As a new sign up, you may be a part of a competing company for the first 180 days from your original registration date regardless of title reached within this period. After the 180-day period you must provide proof of resignation from that competing company to compliance@FARMASIUS.com.
- Apart from the initial 180 days after sign up, all Farmasi Influencers with the title of Golden Manager or higher agree not to promote any competing product to those FARMASI offers.
- A Farmasi Influencer may not display or bundle Farmasi products or services, in sales literature, on a website, or in sales meetings, with any other products or services to avoid confusing or misleading a prospective Customer or Farmasi Influencer into believing there is a relationship between Farmasi, and the non-Company related products or services.
- You may not offer any non-Company related opportunity, products, or services at any Farmasi-related meeting, seminar, or convention, or immediately following said event(s).
- A violation of any of the provisions in this section shall constitute unreasonable and unwarranted contractual interference between the Company and you. As a result, such actions would inflict irreparable harm on Farmasi. In such event, the Company may, at its sole discretion, impose any sanction it deems necessary and appropriate against the Farmasi Influencer or Farmasi Influencer’s business including termination, the request for immediate injunctive relief, or the pursuit of any other legal and equitable remedies.
3.13 Presentation of the Farmasi Opportunity
In presenting the Company opportunity to potential Customers and Farmasi Influencers, you must comply with the following provisions:
- Abstain from a misquote or omission any significant material fact about the Compensation Plan.
- Make clear that the Compensation Plan is based upon sales of Farmasi products and services to consumers.
- Make clear that success can be achieved only through substantial independent efforts and hard work.
- Abstain from unauthorized income projections, claims, or guarantees* during any presentation or discussion of the Farmasi opportunity or Compensation Plan to prospective Customers or Farmasi Influencers, frequently citing the Farmasi Income Disclaimer as provided on the Company website.
- Abstain from any claims regarding Company products or services not found in official Company materials.
- Refrain from the promotion of Farmasi in any country where We have not yet established a “presence.”
- Claims (which include personal testimonials) as to therapeutic, curative, or beneficial properties of any Farmasi products offered may not be made except those contained in official Company literature. No Farmasi Influencer may make any claim that Farmasi and its marketed products are useful in the cure, treatment, diagnosis, mitigation, or prevention of any diseases. Such statements can be perceived as medical or drug claims. Not only do such claims violate Farmasi policies, but also, they potentially violate federal and state laws and regulations, including the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and Federal Trade Commission Act
*Note: The terms “income claim” and/or “earnings representation” (collectively “income claim”) include the following: (1) statements of average earnings, (2) statements of non-average earnings, (3) statements of earnings ranges, (4) income testimonials, (5) lifestyle claims, and (6) hypothetical claims. Examples of “statements of non-average earnings” include, “Our number one Farmasi Influencer earned over eight hundred thousand dollars last year” or “Our average-ranking Farmasi Influencer earns two thousand dollars per month.” An example of a “statement of earnings ranges” is “The monthly income for our higher-ranking Farmasi Influencers is ten thousand dollars on the low end to twenty-five thousand dollars a month on the high end.”
3.14 Sales Requirements are Governed by the Compensation Plan
- For all Farmasi products, the Company provides a set sales price. There are no exclusive territories granted to anyone. No franchise fees apply to a Farmasi business.
- The Farmasi program is built on sales to the ultimate consumer. Thus, Farmasi Influencers must only purchase inventory that they and their family will personally consume, will be used as a sales tool, or will be resold to others for ultimate use. Farmasi Influencers must never attempt to influence any other Farmasi Influencers to buy more products than they can reasonably use or sell to Customers in a month.
3.15 Compression
The downline of a Farmasi Influencer who is terminated/resigned will be sponsored by a ‘Farmasi Virtual’ account that will replace this Farmasi Influencer. If the existing upline of the person who is now terminated/resigned, is at least the same title or above the title reached by the terminated/resigned FIin the previous 6 months before their termination/resignation, the downline rolls up to the upline immediately without any condition.
In case the existing upline is ranked below than the terminated/resigned Farmasi Influencer, the ‘Farmasi Virtual’ account will sponsor the downline for a minimum of 6 calendar months. During the 6 calendar months, the existing upline could earn the downline if they achieve the necessary requirements. If the existing upline cannot achieve the requirements, then the downline stays under the ‘Farmasi Virtual’ account.
- In the case of a Farmasi Influencer that is terminated or resigns from their FARMASI business, the new sponsor will have 30 days from the date of the termination/resignation to strategically place the new downline to be sponsored by Farmasi Influencers in their 1st through 4th generation. To process this, an email request will need to be sent to the Compliance team with proof of all parties involved approving the change.

Deductions will occur in the month in which the refund is given and continue every pay period thereafter until the bonus/and or commission is recovered.

5.4. Chargeback Policy
When a card processor forcibly reverses a credit card transaction, returning funds to the cardholder, it is known as a chargeback. Chargebacks are usually issued when a cardholder reports fraud to their credit card company. When Farmasi receives a chargeback notice, the account in which the service was purchased is immediately blocked, and all related services in the account being suspended. Farmasi will attempt to “claw back” all commission paid plus a $50 chargeback fee via the reversed transaction. This means Farmasi will seek to recover funds from anyone that received a reward from transactions that are ultimately reversed. Until the full funds are received, all access to Farmasi services and programs will be suspended.

- If a Farmasi Influencer who has received authorization to create and post any third-party website has the business voluntarily or involuntarily canceled for any reason, or if the Company revokes authorization allowing the Farmasi Influencer to maintain such a third-party website, the Farmasi Influencer shall assign the URL to the third-party website to the Company within three (3) days from the date of the cancellation and/or re-direct all traffic to the site as directed by the Company.

Therefore, even if a Farmasi Influencer does not own or operate a blog or Social Media site, a Farmasi Influencer’s post(s) to any such site that relates to Farmasi, or which can be traced to the Company makes the Farmasi Influencer responsible for the posting. Farmasi Influencers are also responsible for postings that occur on any blog or Social Media site that the Farmasi Influencer owns, operates, or controls.
- The distinction between a Social Media site and a website may not be clear-cut, because some Social Media sites are particularly robust; therefore, Farmasi reserves the sole and exclusive right to classify certain Social Media sites as third-party websites and require that Farmasi Influencers using, or who wish to use, such sites adhere to the Farmasi policies relating to third-party websites.
- If your Farmasi business is canceled for any reason, you must discontinue using the Company name, and all the Company’s trademarks, trade names, service marks, and other intellectual property, and all derivatives of such marks and intellectual property, in any postings and all Social Media sites that you utilize.

9.7 Telemarketing Limitations
- A Farmasi Influencer must not engage in telemarketing in relation to the operation of his or her Farmasi business. The term “telemarketing” means the placing of one or more telephone calls to an individual or entity to induce the purchase of Farmasi products or services, or to recruit them for the Farmasi opportunity.
- The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) each have laws that restrict telemarketing practices. Both federal agencies, as well as several states have “do not call” regulations as part of their telemarketing laws.
- While a Farmasi Influencer may not consider herself a “telemarketer” in the traditional sense, these regulations broadly define the term “telemarketer” and “telemarketing” so that the unintentional action of calling someone whose telephone number is listed on the Federal “Do Not Call” registry could cause the Farmasi Influencer to violate the law. These regulations must not be taken lightly, as they carry significant penalties (up to $11,000 per violation).
- “Cold calls” or “state-to-state calls” made to prospective Customers or Farmasi Influencers that promote either Farmasi products, services or the Farmasi opportunity is considered telemarketing and is prohibited.

- If the Farmasi Influencer has an established business relationship with the prospect
- In response to the prospect’s personal inquiry or application regarding a product or service offered by the Farmasi Influencer within three (3) months immediately before the date of such a call
- If the Farmasi Influencer receives written and signed permission from the prospect authorizing the Farmasi Influencer to call
- If the call is to family members, personal friends, and acquaintances. However, if a Farmasi Influencer makes a habit of collecting business cards from everyone, he/she meets and subsequently calls them, the FTC may consider this a form of telemarketing that is not subject to this exemption
- A Farmasi Influencer engaged in calling “acquaintances,” must make such calls on an occasional basis only and not as a routine practice.
- A Farmasi Influencer shall not use automatic telephone dialing systems in the operation of her Farmasi businesses.
- Failure to abide by Company policies or regulations as set forth by the FTC and FCC regarding telemarketing may lead to sanctions against the Farmasi Influencer’s business, up to and including termination of the business.

Farmasi Influencers who have not tendered a letter of resignation, are eligible to re-enroll in the Company under the Sponsor/Placement of their choice.
- Upon written notice to the Company that a former Farmasi Influencer wishes to re-enroll, Farmasi will “compress” (close) the original account. A new Farmasi Influencer ID number will then be issued to the former Farmasi Influencer.
- Such Farmasi Influencer does not retain former rank, downline, or rights to commission checks from the former organizations.
- As a one-time opportunity, if you are a Farmasi Influencer who is sponsored directly by the company (FARMASI Root) and have a total monthly GV of less than 50,000, you may only request a sponsor change if the person you want to sponsor you is at least 2 titles higher than the highest title you have attained.
- To avoid being placed back under FARMASI root, you have three months to reach a title higher than the one from your change and a minimum 20 percent GV rise.
E. The Company reserves the right to correct Sponsor or Placement errors at any time and in whatever manner it deems necessary.
F. As a Director you must earn a minimum of 1,500 side points each month. Failure to reach 1,500 side points in 3 consecutive months will allow any 25% Farmasi Influencer sponsored by you to request a sponsor change to your immediate upline and this will be granted by the company.
10.3 Change Organizations
- If a Farmasi Influencer wishes to transfer organizations, he or she must submit a letter of resignation to the Company Customer Service Department and remain inactive (neither buy or sell) an accumulation of 125 Personal Volume within 6 calendar months from the receipt of the letter before being eligible to re-enroll under a different Sponsor/Placement.
- The Company retains the right to approve or deny any request to re-enroll after a Farmasi Influencer’s resignation.
- If re-enrollment is approved, the former Farmasi Influencer will be issued a new Farmasi Influencer ID number and will be required to submit a new Farmasi Influencer Agreement. The Farmasi Influencer will not be entitled to keep any former rank, downline, or rights to commission checks from any prior organization.
10.4 Unethical Sponsoring
- Unethical sponsoring activities include, but are not limited to, enticing, bidding, or engaging in unhealthy competition in trying to acquire a prospect or new Farmasi Influencer from another Farmasi Influencer or influencing another Farmasi Influencer to transfer to a different sponsor.
- Allegations of unethical sponsoring must be reported in writing to the Company Compliance Department within the first 90 days of enrollment. If the reports are substantiated, Farmasi may transfer the Farmasi Influencer or the Farmasi Influencer’s downline to another sponsor, Placement, or organization without approval from the current up-line Sponsor or Placement Farmasi Influencers. The Company remains the final authority in such cases.
- Farmasi prohibits the act of “Stacking.” Stacking is the unauthorized manipulation of the Company compensation system and/or the marketing plan to trigger commissions or cause a promotion off a downline Farmasi Influencer in an unearned manner. One example of stacking occurs when a Sponsor places participant under an inactive downline without his or her knowledge to trigger unearned qualification for commissioning. Stacking is unethical and unacceptable behavior, and as such, it is a punishable offense with measures up to and including the termination of the independent consultant positions of all individuals and/or entities found to be directly involved.
- Should Farmasi Influencers engage in solicitation and/or enticement of members of another direct sales company to sell or distribute Farmasi products and services to, they bear the risk of being sued by the other direct sales company. If any lawsuit, arbitration, or mediation is brought against a Farmasi Influencer alleging that they engaged in inappropriate recruiting activity of another company’s sales force or Customers, the Company will not pay any of the Farmasi Influencer’s defence costs or legal fees, nor will the Company indemnify the Farmasi Influencer for any judgment, award, or settlement.
10.5 Sell, Assign or Delegate Ownership
- To preserve the integrity of the hierarchical structure, it is necessary for Farmasi to place restrictions on the transfer, assignment, or sale of a business.
- A Farmasi Influencer may not sell or assign rights or delegate the position as a Farmasi Influencer without prior written approval by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted sale, assignment, or delegation without such approval may be voided at the discretion of the Company.
- Should the sale be approved by the Company, the Buyer assumes the position of the Seller at the current qualified title, but at the current “paid as” rank, at the time of the sale and acquires the Seller’s Downline.
- To request corporate authorization for a sale or transfer of a Farmasi business, the following items must be submitted to the Company Compliance Department:
- A Sale/Transfer of Business Form properly completed, with the requisite signatures
- A copy of the Sales Agreement signed and dated by both Buyer and Seller
- A Farmasi Influencer Agreement completed and signed by the Buyer
- Any additional supporting documentation requested by the Company
- Any debt obligations that either Seller or Buyer may have with Farmasi must be satisfied prior to the approval of the sale or transfer by the Company.
- A Farmasi Influencer who sells his or her business is not eligible to re-enroll as a Farmasi Influencer in any organization for twelve (12) full calendar months following the date of the sale except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Policies and Procedures.
G. The Transfer/Sale will be approved or denied at the sole discretion of Farmasi.
10.6 Separating a Farmasi Influencer’s Farmasi Business
- Pending a divorce or dissolution of a partnership or other business entity, the parties must adopt one of the following methods of operation:
- One of the parties may, with the written consent of the other(s), operate the Farmasi business whereby the relinquishing Spouse, shareholders, partners, members or trustees authorize the Company to deal directly and solely with the other Spouse, non-relinquishing shareholder, partner, member or trustee;
- The parties may continue to operate the Farmasi business jointly on a “business as usual” basis, whereupon all compensation paid by the Company will be paid in the name designated as the Farmasi Influencer or in the name of the entity to be divided, as the parties may independently agree between them. If no name is stipulated, Farmasi will pay compensation to the name on record and in such event, the Farmasi Influencer named on the account shall indemnify Farmasi from any claims from the other business owner(s) or the other Spouse with respect to such payment.
- The Company recognizes only one Downline organization and will issue only one commission check per Farmasi business per commission cycle. Under no circumstances will the Downline of an organization be divided, nor will Farmasi split commission and/or bonus checks.
- If a relinquishing Spouse, partner, or owner of the business has completely relinquished (“Relinquishing Party”), in writing, all rights to the original Farmasi business, he or she may immediately thereafter re-enroll under the Sponsor and Placement of his or her choice. In such cases, however, the Relinquishing Party shall have no rights to, and shall not solicit, any Farmasi Influencer or active Customer in the former organization and must develop a new business in the same manner as any other new Farmasi Influencer. A Farmasi Influencer in the Relinquishing Party’s former Downline who wishes to transfer to the Relinquishing Party’s new organization or to any other organization, must comply with the requirements in Section 12.5.
10.7 Succession
- Upon the death or incapacity of a Farmasi Influencer, the Farmasi Influencer’s corresponding business may be passed on to his or her legal successors in interest (successor). Whenever a Farmasi business is transferred by will or other testamentary process, the successor acquires the right to collect all bonuses and commissions of the deceased Farmasi Influencer’s sales organization. The successor must:
- Complete and sign a new Farmasi Influencer Agreement
- Comply with the terms and provisions of the Farmasi Influencer Agreement; and
- Meet all the qualifications for the last rank achieved by the former Farmasi Influencer.
- Bonus and commission check of a Farmasi business transferred based on this section will be paid in a single check to the successor. The successor must provide the Company with an “address of record” to which all bonus and commission Payments will be sent. Payments will be based on the current performance of the business, not the highest rank or volume achieved.
- If the business is passed on to joint devisees (successors), they must form a business entity and acquire a federal taxpayer identification number. Farmasi will issue all bonus and commission payments and one 1099 Miscellaneous Income Tax form to the managing business entity only.
- Appropriate legal documentation must be submitted to the Company Compliance Department to ensure the transfer is done properly. To affect a testamentary transfer of a Farmasi business, the successor must provide the following to the Company Compliance Department:
- A certified copy of the death certificate; and
- A notarized copy of the will or other appropriate legal documentation establishing the successor’s right to the Farmasi business.
- To complete a transfer of the Farmasi business because of incapacity, the successor must provide the following to the Company Compliance Department:
- A notarized copy of an appointment as trustee
- A notarized copy of the trust document or other appropriate legal documentation establishing the trustee’s right to administer the Farmasi business; and
- A completed Farmasi Influencer Agreement executed by the trustee.
- If the successor is already an existing Farmasi Influencer, the Company will allow such Farmasi Influencer to keep his or her own business plus the inherited business active for up to six (6) months. By the end of the 6-month period, the Farmasi Influencer must have compressed (if applicable), sold or otherwise transferred either the existing business or the inherited business.
- If the successor wishes to terminate the Farmasi business, he, she or it must submit a notarized statement stating the desire to do so, along with a certified copy of the death certificate, appointment as trustee, and/or any other appropriate legal documentation.

- The Farmasi Influencer’s intent to resign;
- Date of resignation;

C. Following any voluntary cancellation, a Farmasi Influencer:
- Shall have no right, title, claim or interest to any commission or bonus from the sales generated by the Farmasi Influencer’s former organization or any other payments in association with the Farmasi Influencer’s former independent business

The Farmasi Influencer will then have seven (7) calendar days from the date of such notice to appeal the termination in writing. Farmasi must receive the Farmasi Influencer’s written appeal within seven (7) calendar days of the date of the termination letter. If the written appeal is not received within this time, the termination will be considered final.
- If the Farmasi Influencer does file a timely appeal of termination, the Company will review its decision, along with any other information it may deem relevant, reconsider any other appropriate action, and notify the Farmasi Influencer of its decision. The decision of the Company is then considered final and not subject to further review.
- If the termination is not rescinded, the termination will be effective as of the date of the original termination notices by the Company. The former Farmasi Influencer shall thereafter be prohibited from using the names, marks or signs, labels, stationery, advertising, or business material referring to or relating to any Farmasi products or services.

The Company and Farmasi Influencer further waive all claims to exemplary and punitive damages.
12.4 Severability
If any provision of these Policies and Procedures is found to be invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, only the invalid provision shall be severed.
