6. Wholesaling Responsibility
ICs have a responsibility to inquire how their Clients will utilize the Arbonne products
The IC will be held responsible if they knowingly sell to Clients who:
resell the Arbonne products through a retail store
resell the Arbonne products over the Internet
import the Arbonne products into a country that is not authorized to sell Arbonne
use any other method of distribution that violates the primary purpose of the direct selling business

7. Appointment Based Business Basics
Arbonne has made a conscious business decision to allow ICs to sell Arbonne products in appointment based businesses as long as certain guidelines are followed.
This decision allows ICs to leverage all aspects of their network while still following the direct selling model.
Arbonne products may be sold or displayed in offices and other areas located in private clubs or membership only gyms that are not accessible to or in view of the general public and the private offices of professionals who operate by appointment only
Doctors, dentists, chiropractors, beauty salons, membership only gyms, etc.

8. Appointment Based Business Basics
Products or Arbonne signage may not be displayed in view to the outside public or on the appointment based business’ website or social media platforms.
This includes displaying images of products and product packaging
Products from other direct selling companies in the same generic product or service categories as offered by Arbonne may not be present or sold in the establishment.

9. Appointment Based Business Logistics
The business itself cannot be registered as the Independent Consultant
Only registered ICs can personally sell the Arbonne products at the business, which can include the owner of the appointment based business
Operators of the appointment only based business may have employees assist with a sale transaction so long as the IC is present
The operator of the business is solely responsible for the actions of their employees
The Arbonne business is not a retail supplier thus product should be purchased as needed as inventory loading is prohibited

10. Appointment Based Business Logistics
Orders must be placed online through the Arbonne system or by in-person sales
The Client must be provided with an official Arbonne sales receipt/order form
Products may not be sold to other ICs as they must order under their own Arbonne account

11. Cross Promotion
ICs may have other ICs who seek out their services as clients of their other business by word-of-mouth
ICs cannot solicit their downline or use their Arbonne contacts to promote their other business
Promotion of these businesses must be totally separate even if the other business is utilizing Arbonne products
The above guidelines must be followed in order to avoid a conflict of interest policy violation
