9) Ethical Conduct with a Crunchi Business

9.1 RECRUITING: Advocates are always free to participate in any other business or network marketing opportunities of their choosing. However, during the term of this Agreement and any renewal of the Agreement, an Advocate may not directly or indirectly recruit other Crunchi Advocates, Clients, business or social media partners, or corporate staff for any other business or network marketing opportunity. This includes recruiting Crunchi Advocates, Clients, business or social media partners, or staff for opportunities on behalf of a spouse, friend, family member, business contact, or other third party. The term “Recruit” means the direct or indirect, actual or attempted, sponsorship, solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort to influence in any other way, another Crunchi Advocate, Client, business or social media partner, or staff member to enroll or participate in another business or network marketing opportunity. Advocates must walk in the utmost integrity while sharing the Crunchi opportunity and train their downline to do the same. Any solicitation of active representatives from another company or activities that could be deemed as “cross-recruiting” or “poaching” is not permitted. If you are exiting another direct selling company to join Crunchi, you must follow the exit policies of the company from which you are leaving and honor all of your post-termination contractual obligations with your former company.

9.2 SEPARATE BUSINESSES: If an Advocate is engaged in other non-Crunchi business or network marketing opportunities, it is the responsibility of the Advocate to ensure that their Crunchi business is operated entirely separate and apart from all other businesses and/or network marketing opportunities. An Advocate must not:

a. Intermix Crunchi promotional material, sales tools, or products with other non-Crunchi brands without the expressed written consent of Crunchi. (Crunchi products may be sold at the same location as non-Crunchi products so long as the Crunchi and non-Crunchi products are completely separated and all sales are completely separate.).

b. Offer the Crunchi products to prospective or existing Clients or Advocates in conjunction with any non-Crunchi program, opportunity, or products (separate postings on social media sites are exempt from this statement).

c. Offer, discuss, or display any non-Crunchi opportunity or products at any Crunchi Corporate event, trunk show, trade show, meeting, seminar, convention, webinar, teleconference, or other function, or in any way pair or tie a Crunchi product or opportunity to a non- Crunchi product, opportunity or business.

d. Attempt to promote, market, or sell the other business products or opportunities to Crunchi Advocates, Clients, social media partners, or staff on behalf of themselves or for a spouse, friend, family member, or other third party.

9.3 NON-SOLICITATION: During the term of this Agreement and for a period of 12 calendar months thereafter, an Advocate may not use any social media site (including their private Facebook Groups) on which they discuss or promote, or have discussed or promoted, the Crunchi business or products to directly or indirectly solicit Crunchi Advocates, Clients or employees for another direct selling, multi-level marketing or network marketing program (collectively, “direct selling”). In furtherance of this provision, an Advocate shall not take any action that may reasonably be foreseen to result in drawing an inquiry from other Advocates relating to the Advocate’s other direct selling business activities. Violation of this provision shall constitute a violation of the non-solicitation provision in Section 9.5 (Conflicts of Interest) below. Advocates who engage in another Direct Selling Business (as defined in Section 9.1) must not, directly, indirectly, or through a third party use any social media account or private group (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.) that the Advocate currently uses or has used in the past to promote or discuss Crunchi, its products, programs, services or the business opportunity (“Crunchi Social Media”). If the Advocate is involved in another Direct Selling Business, the Advocate must create a separate social media account or private Facebook Group to promote the other Direct Selling Business and may not use their dedicated Crunchi groups or pages to promote another company. Crunchi Advocates are also prohibited from “cross-posting” from their other Direct Selling Business social media account onto the Advocate’s Crunchi Social Media and vice versa. Personal public pages, websites, and blogs not dedicated to Crunchi or your Crunchi network are exempt under the following conditions:

• The Advocate does not solicit, invite, or use it in any capacity for current Crunchi Advocates or Clients. In these instances, the Advocate should direct them to their dedicated closed group pages.
• All posts that include Crunchi in the same space/post as another MLM link must add the following disclaimer, as laid out in Section 7.5 Master List/Product Recommendation List: The companies/products listed here are my personal recommendations alone & not affiliated or endorsed by Crunchi Corporate.

Furthermore, during the term of the Advocate Agreement and for a period of 12 calendar months after its termination, private Facebook Groups on which an Advocate has shared or promoted Crunchi may not be renamed for the purpose of promoting another direct selling company or its products.

a. Advocates are expressly forbidden, without prior written permission from Crunchi, from soliciting, hiring, offering employment or compensation of any kind, or otherwise using the services of any Crunchi employees or other Advocates outside their scope of employment or status during said term of employment or status for a period of twelve (12) months after the Advocate or employee leaves Crunchi.

9.4 USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: As per the terms of the Agreement, confidential information may not be shared, used, or given to any third party with regard to soliciting, recruiting, or participating in any other business or network marketing opportunities. Confidentiality will not terminate at the twelve (12) month period mentioned above.

9.5 CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Any other business or network marketing opportunities in which an Advocate participates must remain separate from Crunchi. If an Advocate participates in other business or network marketing opportunities, then they may not attempt to enroll or recruit other Crunchi Advocates directly or through a third party , and they may not offer literature, promotional material, sales, or products from another business or network marketing opportunity to Crunchi Advocates or Clients. It is also considered a conflict of interest for an Advocate to promote, market, or attempt to sell other business products or opportunities to other Crunchi Advocates, Clients, or staff for a spouse, friend, family member, or other third party.

9.6 NEGATIVE COMMENTS: Complaints and concerns about Crunchi and/or its products should be directed to Crunchi’s corporate office at info@ crunchi.com or (888) 831-3133. Advocates must not disparage, demean, or make negative remarks to third parties or other Advocates about Crunchi, its owners, officers, directors, management, employees, another Crunchi Advocate, Crunchi products, or the Agreement. Disputes or disagreements between any Advocate and Crunchi shall be resolved through the dispute resolution process described in the Agreement, and Crunchi and Advocates agree specifically not to demean, discredit, or criticize one another on the Internet, in social media, or in any other public forum.
