Common Sense Principles Should Always Apply

Understanding and implementing these policies is important, but the reality is that Affiliat's own experiences with Social Media will demonstrate to the Affiliate that the lines between public and private, personal and professional are often skewed and distorted.

Section 5: Trade Shows, Expos, and Fairs

1. PARTICIPATION

Hello Pink products may be displayed, and the Hello Pink business opportunity offered, at official trade shows, expos, fairs, or other publicly-held events.

In order to protect the trademarks and trade names of the Company and its public image, Hello Pink reserves the right to restrict affiliate participation in such events, in all respects, including but not limited to pre-approval of the identity and number of affiliates allowed to participate in any such event.

1. CODE OF CONDUCT

Subject to the rights of Hello Pink set forth above, Hello Pink affiliates may choose to participate in local trade shows, expos, fairs, and other publicly-held events that allow them to sell and display Hello Pink trademarked products and literature.

There are certain standards and guidelines which must be adhered to when participating in these types of events, and failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, including the termination of an affiliate relationship. The following are the guidelines and code of conduct for a Hello Pink affiliate when selling at trade shows, expos, fairs, or other publicly-held events:

1. Hello Pink affiliates are required to refrain from predatory pricing when selling or displaying Hello Pink products. Predatory pricing and such undercutting of other Hello Pink affiliates at trade shows, expos, fairs, or other publicly-held events is a particularly serious infringement of another affiliate's right to earn the retail selling profit set forth in the compensation plan and to economically participate in said events and the opportunities they present. Conduct of this nature will not be tolerated and is grounds for suspension or termination of the violating person’s affiliate relationship. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to mean that predatory pricing in environments other than trade shows, expos, fairs, and other publicly-held events is condoned or will be allowed by Hello Pink.
2. Affiliates of Hello Pink products may only use Company-produced and/or approved literature and sales support materials when conducting, selling, and sponsoring efforts at public events. This includes banners, posters, art work, sales tickets, product information and brochures, and sponsoring information and brochures. All materials ibuted at events must be approved Hello Pink according to the procedures described in Section 4, above.
3. Professional conduct and courteous behavior is expected of all Affiliates of Hello Pink when participating in public venues.
4. When booking trade shows, expos, fairs, or other publicly-held events, the booking or listing must be under the Independent affiliate, not the Company or product name. However, at the same time, the booking or listing must make clear that the booth or space being rented is for the sale of Hello Pink product, so that double booking or overbooking of Hello Pink booths at any given event does not occur. In order to make this clear, affiliates must use “Hello Pink” as the first word of their listing when they register for any event. For example, a proper listing would say, “Hello Pink Independent affiliate/ Jane Doe or “Hello Pink Leggings, Independent affiliate.”

Section 6: Termination or Transfer of Business

1. VOLUNTARY TERMINATION

An affiliate may voluntarily terminate his or her affiliate relationship with Hello Pink. Voluntary termination is effective upon receipt of such notice by the Hello Pink corporate office.
