These documents are incorporated by reference into the Choconat Independent Member Agreement. It is the responsibility of each Independent Member to read, understand, adhere to, and ensure that he or she is aware of and operating under the most current version of these Policies and Procedures. When enrolling a new Independent Member, it is the responsibility of the Enroller to provide the most current version of these Policies and Procedures and the Choconat Compensation Plan to the applicant prior to his or her execution of the Independent Member Agreement. 2.2 – Purpose of Policies Choconat is a direct sales company that markets products through Independent Members. It is important that all Independent Members understand that their success is dependent upon the integrity of all men and women who market Choconat products. To clearly define the relationship that exists between Independent Members and Choconat, and to explicitly set standards for acceptable business conduct, Choconat has established the Agreement. Choconat Independent Members are required to comply with all of the Terms and Conditions set forth in the Agreement, as well as all Federal, state, and local laws governing their business and their conduct. It is very important that all Independent Members read and abide by the Agreement. Please review the information in this manual carefully. It explains and governs the relationship between Independent Members and the Company. Any questions regarding any policy or rule should be directed to Choconat. 2.3 – Changes to the Agreement Because federal, state, and local laws, as well as the business environment periodically change, Choconat reserves the right to amend the Agreement (including the Member Application, Terms and Conditions and Policies and Procedures) and its prices in its sole and absolute discretion.
