AUTHORIZATION AND AGREEMENT (REGISTRANT(S) MUST READ AND SIGN)

AGREEMENT TO MEDIATE AND ARBITRATE DISPUTES - Amway Corp. (“Amway”) and its IBOs mutually agree to resolve all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to an Independent Business, the IBO Contract as defined in Rule 1.1 of the Amway Rules of Conduct (“Rule” or “Rules”), as well as disputes involving Business Support Materials (“BSM”), as defined in Rule 7, under the Dispute Resolution Procedures described in the Rules, specifically Rule 11. The Rules shall be part of this IBO Registration Agreement (“Agreement”) and are incorporated by reference. A copy of the Rules is available to review at www.amway.com.

I agree to submit any dispute I may have with another IBO, a former IBO, Amway, or an Approved Provider of BSM, as defined in Rule 7, to conciliation under Rule 11.4. I further agree that if any claim or dispute cannot be resolved by good faith efforts in conciliation under Rule 11.4, I will submit any remaining claim or dispute arising out of or relating to my Independent Business, the IBO Contract (including any claim against another IBO, a former IBO, or any such IBO’s officers, directors, agents, or employees; or against Amway Corp. and any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, predecessor or successor thereof, or any of their officers, directors, agents, or employees) as well as disputes involving BSM or Approved Providers of BSM, to binding arbitration in accordance with Rule 11.5.The arbitration award shall be final and binding and judgment may be entered upon it by any court of competent jurisdiction. Demand for arbitration shall be made within 2 years after the claim arose, but in no event after the date when the initiation of legal proceedings would have been barred by the applicable statute of limitations, subject to the tolling provision in Rule 11.5.5. I acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply in all cases and govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. The agreement to conciliate and arbitrate under Rule 11 is reciprocal and binds Amway, IBOs and Approved Providers.

The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.

BUSINESS SUPPORT MATERIALS - Some IBOs and Amway accredited third-party providers (“Approved Providers”) offer optional BSM to IBOs (See Rule 7 for more information). I UNDERSTAND THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO BUY BSM TO BECOME AN IBO AND THAT BSM MAY BE HELPFUL BUT ARE NOT NECESSARY TO BE A SUCCESSFUL IBO. BSM ARE OFFERED SEPARATELY FROM THE AMWAY BUSINESS BY IBOS AND APPROVED PROVIDERS THAT ARE NOT OWNED OR OPERATED BY AMWAY. I further understand that Amway does not earn any revenue from my purchase of BSM from IBOs or Approved Providers; some IBOs and Approved Providers earn income (which is not paid by Amway) from the sale of BSM to IBOs; IBOs and Approved Providers are required to meet Amway’s Quality Assurance Standards for BSM (See Rule 7); I may have rights to a refund from the seller under certain circumstances; in deciding whether or not to purchase BSM, I will use my own good judgment and ensure that expenditures are consistent with my goals and with the profitability of my business; and, if I choose to purchase BSM, I will do so only after I have registered as an IBO, and after I have assessed my own needs for BSM. In addition, Amway offers optional free training for IBOs in marketing and merchandising.

REGISTRANT(S) - I certify that all of the information above is complete and correct, including my sponsoring IBO. I have read and agree to adhere to the terms of this Agreement, including the Amway Terms and Conditions printed on the reverse side (Page 2 of 2). I need only select the Business Services & Support portion of the Amway Registration Package to become an IBO. I certify that in deciding to become an IBO I have relied solely on the earnings representations and information contained in the Plan. I certify that I have received, read, and understood the Amway Business Opportunity Brochure. I understand that the average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs in the U.S. was $202 in 2010.

Common mistakes

Not using black ink: The form specifies that all entries must be made using black ink. Filling out the form in any other color can cause processing delays or form rejection.
Incorrect or missing IBO ID number: If pre-registered online or by phone, it's crucial to include the assigned IBO ID number on the form. Neglecting to enter it, or entering it incorrectly, can disrupt the registration process.
Leaving mandatory fields blank: Essential information such as Social Security Numbers and email addresses must be filled in. Failing to provide these details can result in withholding bonus payments and communication gaps.

Failure to sign the authorization and agreement section: The form is incomplete without the registrant's signature (and, if applicable, co-registrant’s signature). Unsigned forms are not processed, thereby halting the application.

Each of these mistakes can hinder the registration process, leading to delays or the outright rejection of the application. It's important to review the application carefully and ensure all information is accurate and complete before submission.

Documents used along the form

Completing the Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO) Application inherently begins an entrepreneurial journey within the commerce realm. To ensure a smooth progression from initial registration through various stages of business operation, several companion documents and forms typically accompany the application. Understanding these documents' purposes enriches the foundational knowledge essential for a successful Amway business setup and maintenance.

As such, both new and veteran IBOs are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these critical materials, ensuring a well-rounded and informed approach to business management within the Amway framework.

Similar forms

The Franchise Agreement Form is similar to the Amway IBO Application Form because they both establish a business relationship governed by specific terms and conditions. Like the Amway form, a franchise agreement typically outlines the duties, rights, and responsibilities of both the franchisor and the franchisee, including business support, branding, and operational guidelines.
The Partnership Agreement Form shares similarities, particularly in how it specifies the details of the business relationship between parties. It includes provisions on profit sharing, responsibilities, and how decisions are made, echoing the IBO form's details on compensation and roles.
A Business Loan Application Form is akin to the Amway IBO Application in that it requires detailed personal and business information, plans for use of the proceeds, and often a personal guarantee. Both documents serve as formal requests that kickstart a business venture or relationship.
The Direct Sales Independent Contractor Agreement is very similar because it also outlines the relationship between a seller and a company, including compensation, rules of conduct, and termination clauses, much like the IBO Application Form details the contractual relationship with Amway.
An Employment Application Form parallels the Amway form in its collection of personal details, work history, and professional references, aiming to establish a formal work relationship, though the Amway form is for independent business ownership rather than employment.
Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Participant Application Forms are closely related, as they also enlist individuals under a plan that compensates based not only on sales but on recruiting other participants, closely mirroring the Amway model and contractual setup.
The Vendor Application Form shares similarities with the Amway IBO Form because it formalizes the business relationship between a vendor and a company, including information on products, services, and terms of cooperation, akin to how IBOs work under Amway.
A Commercial Lease Application Form is somewhat similar in that it collects detailed information about the applicant and the terms under which they will conduct business, including duration and rules of engagement, similar to how the Amway form sets the stage for a business endeavor within Amway’s framework.

Dos and Don'ts

When completing the Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO) Application form, it's important to approach the task with attention to detail and an understanding of the expectations. Here are lists of things you should do and things you should avoid to ensure a smooth application process.

Do:

Use black ink: As specified in the instructions, fill out the form using black ink to ensure clarity and legibility.
Pre-register online: If possible, pre-register at www.amway.com or by calling 800-253-6500. This can streamline the registration process.
Provide accurate information: Ensure all information you provide, including your Social Security Number and contact details, is accurate and up to date.
Review the terms: Before signing, carefully review the Agreement to Mediate and Arbitrate Disputes and all terms related to Business Support Materials (BSM).
Understand fees involved: Be aware of the costs for the Amway Business Services & Support and the Welcome Product Kit, including their optional nature and refund policies.
Select a payment method: Choose a suitable method of payment for your registration package and ensure all details are completed correctly.
Sign the agreement: Make sure both the primary registrant and co-registrant (if applicable) sign the form to validate it.
Retain a copy: After completing and sending the form, keep a copy for your records as a reference to your agreement and terms.

Don't:

Use different ink colors: Avoid using inks other than black as this may affect the readability and processing of your application.
Skip sections: Do not leave any required fields blank. Incomplete applications can lead to processing delays or rejections.
Ignore the rules: Pay careful attention to Amway's Rules of Conduct. Ignoring these can affect your standing and success as an IBO.
Forget to include payment: Failure to include the correct payment for selected services and kits can delay the activation of your IBO status.
Overlook the agreement terms: Not fully understanding the agreement terms, especially regarding disputes and BSM, can lead to future complications.
Assume automatic renewal: Remember that to maintain active status, you must submit a renewal request by December 31 each year.
Misrepresent your business: Misrepresenting your relationship with Amway by not adhering to sales and marketing guidelines is prohibited.
Disregard privacy policies: Failing to comply with privacy and data security obligations can lead to serious consequences under the agreement.

Following these guidelines will help ensure that your application to become an Amway Independent Business Owner is filled out correctly and processed efficiently.

Misconceptions

A common misconception is that providing a Social Security Number (SSN) on the Amway IBO Application Form is optional. In reality, failure to provide an SSN will result in withholding a percentage of all bonus payments, illustrating the requirement's significance for financial transactions and compliance within the United States.
Another misconception revolves around the Registration Package costs, including the Business Services & Support and IBOAI Support fees. Some individuals misunderstand these fees as non-refundable. However, the document clarifies that the Business Services & Support fee is fully refundable within 90 days if a registrant decides not to proceed with their Amway business endeavor.
There's a belief that purchasing the Welcome Product Kit is mandatory for new IBOs. This misunderstanding could stem from the kit's prominent presentation alongside registration fees. In truth, the Welcome Product Kit, although beneficial for getting acquainted with top-selling products, is optional, permitting applicants to choose whether or not this initial investment aligns with their business strategy.
Some might wrongly believe that becoming an IBO is confined to those residing in or citizens of the United States. The form, however, accommodates a global audience, allowing registrants with a primary business outside of the United States to complete their registration, thus emphasizing Amway’s inclusive and international scope of operations.
A final common misconception pertains to the process after submitting an IBO Application Form. People often think that submission of the form completes their registration process. Nonetheless, it's crucial to recognize that Amway requires receipt and processing of the completed signature page to finalize IBO registration. Moreover, for pre-registered IBOs who have secured an IBO ID number through Amway's website or phone service, Amway must receive this documentation within 90 days to maintain uninterrupted IBO authorization.

Key takeaways

Filling out and using the Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO) Application form is a critical step towards establishing a business partnership with Amway. Here are six key takeaways to guide applicants through the process:

Use Black Ink: The application explicitly requests that all entries be made using black ink. This requirement helps ensure that the information is legible and can be processed accurately and efficiently.
Pre-registration ID: If you have pre-registered online at the Amway website or by phone, it’s essential to include your assigned IBO ID number on the application form. This ID plays a vital role in tracking your application and facilitating the setup of your business with Amway.
Accurate Personal Information: Providing accurate personal information, including social security numbers for both the registrant and co-registrant if applicable, is crucial. Failure to provide a social security number will result in withholding a percentage of all bonus payments, underlining the importance of this detail.
Communication Preferences: Applicants must specify their preferred language for select communications. This ensures that Amway can provide support and updates in the most effective manner, tailored to the IBO's preferences.
Registration Costs: Understanding the costs associated with registration, including the Amway Business Services & Support fee and optional Welcome Product Kit, is essential. Notably, the Business Services & Support fee is fully refundable within 90 days of payment, should the applicant decide to cancel their registration.
Agreement to Arbitrate: By signing the IBO Registration Agreement, registrants agree to resolve disputes through arbitration, as outlined in the Amway Rules of Conduct. This commitment underscores the importance of understanding Amway’s dispute resolution procedures before signing the agreement.

Thoroughly reviewing and understanding these aspects of the Amway IBO Application form not only facilitates a smoother registration process but also sets the foundation for a successful business venture with Amway. It is paramount for applicants to be mindful of these key takeaways, ensuring compliance with the registration requirements and a full understanding of the terms of their engagement with Amway.
