Terms & Conditions

1. I understand that as an Independent Associate for LifeShare, Inc. (“LifeShare” , “Company”, “we” or “our”):
a. I have the right to offer for sale LifeShare products and services in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
b. I have the right to enroll persons in LifeShare.
c. If qualified, I have the right to earn commissions pursuant to the LifeShare Compensation Plan. 

2. I agree to present the LifeShare Compensation Plan and LifeShare products and services as set forth in official LifeShare literature. 

3. I agree that as a LifeShare Associate I am an independent contractor, and not an employee, partner, legal representative, or franchisee of LifeShare. I agree that I will be solely responsible for paying all expenses that I incur, including but not limited to travel, food, lodging, secretarial, office, long distance telephone and other business expenses. I UNDERSTAND THAT I SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS AN EMPLOYEE OF LIFESHARE FOR FEDERAL OR STATE TAX PURPOSES OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON. LifeShare is not responsible for withholding, and shall not withhold or deduct from my bonuses and commissions, if any, FICA, or taxes of any kind. 

4.  I understand that the LifeShare system is based on credits purchased online to be used to make printed photo products such as cards and books.  Said credits expire after 12 months from the date of purchase and are deleted from both a Retail Customer and / or an Associates account on a "first in, first out" basis. 

5. I have carefully read and agree to comply with the LifeShare Policies and Procedures and the LifeShare Compensation Plan, and the Business Entity Application and Agreement (the Business Entity Application and Agreement is not applicable to persons who enroll as individuals) which are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms and Conditions (these documents shall be collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). I understand that I must be in good standing, and not in violation of the Agreement, to be eligible for bonuses or commissions from LifeShare. I understand that the LifeShare Policies and Procedures and/or the LifeShare Compensation Plan may be amended at the sole discretion of LifeShare, and I agree to abide by all such amendments. Notification of amendments shall be posted on LifeShare’s website, in your Associate back-office, and/or sent via email. Amendments shall become effective 30 days after publication. The continuation of my LifeShare business or my acceptance of bonuses or commissions shall constitute my acceptance of any and all amendments. 

6. The term of this agreement is one year (subject to prior cancellation for inactivity pursuant to the Policies and Procedures). If I fail to annually renew my LifeShare Agreement, or if it is canceled or terminated for any reason, I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as an Associate, and I will not be eligible to sell LifeShare products and services nor shall I be eligible to receive commissions, bonuses, or other income resulting from the activities of my former downline sales organization. In the event of cancellation, termination or nonrenewal, I waive all rights I have, including but not limited to property rights, to my former downline organization and to any bonuses, commissions or other remuneration derived through the sales and other activities of my former downline organization. LifeShare reserves the right to terminate all Associate Agreements upon 30 days notice if the Company elects to: (1) cease business operations; (2) dissolve as a business entity; or (3) terminate distribution of its products and/or services via direct selling channels. Associate may cancel this Agreement at any time, and for any reason, upon written notice to LifeShare at its principal business address. LifeShare may cancel this Agreement for any reason upon 30 days advance written notice to Associate. 

7. I may not assign any rights under the Agreement without the prior written consent of LifeShare. Any attempt to transfer or assign the Agreement without the express written consent of LifeShare renders the Agreement voidable at the option of LifeShare and may result in termination of my business. 

8. I understand that if I fail to comply with the terms of the Agreement, LifeShare may, at its discretion, impose upon me disciplinary sanctions as set forth in the Policies and Procedures. If I am in breach, default or violation of the Agreement at termination, I shall not be entitled to receive any further bonuses or commissions, whether or not the sales for such bonuses or commissions have been completed. 

9. LifeShare, its parent or affiliated companies, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, assigns, and agents (collectively referred to as “affiliates”), shall not be liable for, and I release LifeShare and its affiliates from, all claims for incidental, consequential and exemplary damages for any claim or cause of action relating to the Agreement. I further agree to release LifeShare and its affiliates from all liability arising from or relating to the promotion or operation of my LifeShare business and any activities related to it (e.g., the presentation of LifeShare products or Compensation and Marketing Plan, the operation of a motor vehicle, the lease of meeting or training facilities, etc.), and agree to indemnify LifeShare for any liability, damages, fines, penalties, or other awards arising from any unauthorized conduct that I undertake in operating my business. 

10. The Agreement, in its current form and as amended by LifeShare at its discretion, constitutes the entire contract between LifeShare and myself. Any promises, representations, offers, or other communications not expressly set forth in the Agreement are of no force or effect. 

11. Any waiver by LifeShare of any breach of the Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of LifeShare. Waiver by LifeShare of any breach of the Agreement by me shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. 

12. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the balance of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. 

13. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. In the event of a dispute between an Associate and LifeShare arising from or relating to the Agreement, or the rights and obligations of either party, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through nonbinding mediation as more fully described in the Policies and Procedures. LifeShare shall not be obligated to engage in mediation as a prerequisite to disciplinary action against an Associate. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue for such actions before the State Court residing in Maricopa County, State of Arizona, or the United States District Court, for the District of Arizona, residing in Phoenix, Arizona. 

14. Louisiana Residents: Notwithstanding the foregoing, Louisiana residents may bring an action against the Company with jurisdiction and venue as provided by Louisiana law. 

15. Montana Residents: A Montana resident may cancel his or her Associate Agreement within 15 days from the date of enrollment, and may return his or her starter kit for a full refund within such time period. 

16. If an Associate wishes to bring an action against LifeShare for any act or omission relating to or arising from the Agreement, such action must be brought within one year from the date of the alleged conduct giving rise to the cause of action, or the shortest time permissible under state law. Failure to bring such action within such time shall bar all claims against LifeShare for such act or omission. Associate waives all claims that any other statute of limitations applies. 

17. I authorize LifeShare to use my name, photograph, personal story and/or likeness in advertising or promotional materials and waive all claims for remuneration for such use. 

18. I have carefully read the terms and conditions on the back of this application and agreement, the LifeShare Policies and Procedures, and the LifeShare Compensation Plan, and agree to abide by all terms set forth in these documents. I understand that I have the right to terminate my LifeShare independent business at any time, with or without reason, by sending written notice to the Company at the above listed address or via email at lifesupport@mylifeshare.com. 

YOU MUST ALSO MAIL OR FAX AN IRS FORM W-9 TO LIFESHARE BEFORE YOUR APPLICATION CAN TAKE EFFECT. YOUR STATUS AS A LIFESHARE ASSOCIATE IS TEMPORARY, AND WILL BE CANCELLED AFTER 30 DAYS UNLESS A PROPERLY COMPLETED IRS FORM W-9 IS RECEIVED BY LIFESHARE WITHIN SUCH TIME.
