3) Operation of a Crunchi Business

3.1 TERRITORIES: Advocates are not given exclusive territories, and are free to work in the area of their choosing within the fifty (50) United States of America and the District of Columbia. Advocates may not conduct business activities or sell Crunchi products in any international market or a foreign country unless Crunchi has officially announced itself as open for business in said location. Any questions about location should be sent to Crunchi Corporate offices.

3.2 LIMITATIONS ON ADVOCATE AND HOUSEHOLD BUSINESSES: Advocates may own, operate, control, or have an interest in, only one (1) Crunchi business, and there may be only one (1) Crunchi business in a household. A “household” is defined as spouses. Household family members of Crunchi Corporate employees are not eligible to become Advocates.

3.3 ORDERS: Orders must be placed online through Crunchi’s website or an Advocate’s replicated website. Only orders placed through Crunchi’s website or an Advocate’s replicated website are eligible for return/exchange.

3.4 PRODUCT PACKAGING: Crunchi products must be shared in their original packaging and/or with Crunchi bags, labels, boxes, stickers, or containers. As per the Agreement, Advocates shall not alter original packaging, labels, or product literature.

3.5 PRICING: Crunchi product pricing is determined by the corporate office. Advocates must sell Crunchi products at the pricing structure determined by Crunchi which is then current at www.crunchi.com. No Advocate, or third party, may determine pricing for any Crunchi products. In order to maintain consistency with Crunchi’s brand, pricing, marketing, and image, Crunchi products may not be offered at a percentage (%) discount, sale, promotion, bundle, at a free or similarly discounted value, on any public Crunchi forum (including all public and private social media); unless that particular offering is being held concurrently at www.crunchi.com.

3.6 PROMOTIONAL GIFTS: Advocates may offer a promotional gift of up to $100.00 in value in private social media groups, private social media events, or vendor booth settings. The exception to this would be a public Instagram account where a promotional gift is offered with the sole purpose of growing a following/network. In those instances, Advocates must add a disclaimer to their post stating, “Only those not currently working with or tied to another Advocate are eligible to win”. This ensures that the offer of the promotional gift does not encourage Client hopping or an unfair advantage. Cash may not be given. If a gift card is given, it must be for a particular retailer and not a bank or credit card company gift card equivalent to cash. Advocates may not offer a promotional gift on any platform that directly incentivizes a Client to place an order expect for the Quarterly Advocate Gift. In order to protect, and maintain consistency with, Crunchi’s brand image, Advocates are encouraged to use language such as “complimentary” and avoid terms like “discounted” or “free” when describing promotional gifts.

3.7 SALES TAX: In states in which Crunchi products are subject to sales tax, Crunchi collects and remits sales tax. All orders submitted must include the correct sales tax. Crunchi will collect and remit sales taxes according to applicable tax rates in the state, county, or locality to which the order is shipped. It is an Advocate’s responsibility to know the tax rates based on where products are shipped. Advocates must contact their local or state Department of Revenue for tax questions.

3.8 SALES RECEIPTS: Clients who purchase from an Advocate’s replicated website will automatically be sent an electronic receipt from Crunchi, via autoresponder, at the time the order is placed. Advocates must inform Clients of the Crunchi return policy at the time of purchase. Advocates must maintain all retail sales receipts for a period of two (2) years and furnish them to Crunchi at its request.

3.9 SALES CLOSING DATES: To ensure accurate monthly sales volume tracking, all orders must be submitted by 11:59 PM on the last day of each month to be included in that month’s sales totals. Orders placed after this cutoff will be counted toward the following month’s sales. This policy ensures that monthly sales figures are precise and reflect real-time performance.

3.10 RETURN POLICY: Federal and state law requires that Advocates notify their retail Clients of the Crunchi return policy. The Crunchi return policy is located on the Crunchi website at www.crunchi.com

3.11 RETURN OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS: Crunchi will replace any product shipped from Crunchi that has a manufacturer’s defect or is damaged during shipping. Products shall be returned to Crunchi for a refund or replacement.

3.12 BACKORDERS: Crunchi will make every effort to avoid backorders, but occasionally they may occur. If a backorder occurs, Crunchi or Advocate will notify the Client of the backorder status and provide a revised anticipated ship date. The Client may, at that time, opt to cancel the order. However, the default procedure is to retain the order on file and ship when the back-ordered merchandise is in stock.

3.13 SHIPPING COST: We offer three shipping options for a flat fee:

• Standard Ground: $8.95 for orders within the continental United States, and $12.95 for orders to Hawaii and Alaska.
• Priority 1-3 Day: $12.75 for orders within the continental United States, and $15.75 for orders to Hawaii and Alaska.
• Priority Express 1-2 Day: $39.75 for orders within the continental United States, and $44.75 for orders to Hawaii and Alaska.

3.14 SHIPPING TIME: Crunchi Corporate will strive to ship all orders within ten (10) business days from the date the order is received.

3.15 INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Crunchi products are only available for shipping in the United States of America at this time.

3.16 PRODUCT INVENTORY AND BONUS BUYING: Bonus buying is strictly prohibited. Bonus buying includes the purchase of products for any reason other than sale or use, or buying in order to artificially qualify for rank advancement, incentives, prizes, commissions, or bonuses that are not driven by bona fide product purchases by end-user consumers for actual use.
