SEC. 4       PAYMENT POLICY

All orders must be prepaid by an approved VISA or MasterCard credit card/debit cards, or existing credit on account. NO CODs will be accepted.

(A)    Credit Cards: UnFranchise Owners may use their own approved VISA or MasterCard credit cards/debit cards on file for payment. These orders will be processed the day of receipt. 

(B)    Credit on Account: Funds may be deposited with Market Malaysia Virtual Account (HSBC Bank) and drawn upon as payment. However, the UnFranchise Owner must give Market Malaysia instructions to do so by writing “Use Credit on Account” at the top of the order form. Funds will not be automatically drawn against an account. When funds are drawn from a Market Malaysia account, they are drawn from the credit account of the country indicated by the shipping address of the transaction. UnFranchiseTM Owners may not transfer funds from their Market Malaysia account into other UnFranchise Owners’ Market Malaysia accounts, except specifically to clear a debit in the recipients’ account. All requests to add credit to Market Malaysia accounts must be submitted on a Product Order Form.

(C)    Order without Payment or Payment without Order Form: All orders received without acceptable form of payment enclosed will be sent back to the UnFranchise Owner unfilled. Payments without acceptable order forms will be sent back to the UnFranchise Owner.

(D)    Paying UnFranchise Owner: The paying UnFranchise Owner must complete the very top of the order form (Name and Market Malaysia ID Number) to ensure proper credit/debit information is entered.

(E)    Use of A Voucher: A Market Malaysia voucher will be issued for any Market Malaysia-branded product that had a BV amount credited to it (or IBV in certain situations) when the product was published as available but is discontinued at the time the order is to be filled. The UnFranchise Owner’s list of available vouchers can be found at my.UnFranchise.com only and is no longer mailed in paper form. This voucher may be used to purchase Market Malaysia-branded products, under the following terms and conditions:

       (1)    The voucher may be redeemed online at the UnFranchise Owner’s my.UnFranchise.com account. When placing any online product order, the opportunity to apply an available voucher is offered.

       (2)    The UnFranchise Owner must redeem the voucher within 90 days of the date issued. 

       (3)    The voucher must be used towards one order. It can only be used by the UnFranchise Owner to whom it was issued and cannot be used toward payment for any other UnFranchise Owner’s order.

       (4)    The cost of the Market Malaysia product and the BV/IBV of the product on the order for which the voucher is redeemed must be greater than or equal to the amount of the voucher.

       (5)    The BV/IBV amount represented by the voucher will be subtracted from the order on which the voucher is redeemed. For example, an UnFranchise Owner receives a voucher for a product that is worth 50 BV. The UnFranchise Owner redeems the voucher on a subsequent order that includes available product worth a total of 80 BV. On that subsequent order, the total BV amount would only be 30 BV because 50 BV was already credited on the order for which the voucher was issued. 

       (6)    The MYR amount on the voucher has already been paid by the UnFranchise Owner on the order for which the voucher was issued. This MYR amount will be credited to the order on which the voucher is redeemed. For example, an UnFranchise Owner receives a voucher for a product that has an UnFranchise Cost of RM120. The UnFranchise Owner redeems the voucher on a subsequent order that normally would have a total UnFranchise Cost of RM280. On that subsequent order, the UnFranchise Owner would only be charged based on a total UnFranchise Cost of RM160. 

       (7)    Shipping cost, administrative fees, and sales tax (if applicable) were applied on the original order, including for the unavailable product. The voucher amount will include only the UnFranchise Cost of the unavailable product. Administrative fees and sales tax charged for the original product will be applied to the UnFranchise Owner’s Credit on Account and, in the event the shipping charges for the original order exceeded the actual shipping charge when the unavailable product was deleted, the difference will be included in the Credit on Account. For the redeemed order, all shipping cost, administrative fees, and sales tax (if applicable) will be charged based on the UnFranchise Cost of the entire order on which the voucher is redeemed, including the item for which the voucher is being redeemed. Then, the UnFranchise Owner may apply a voucher to the new order, for product only.

       (8)    Vouchers may not be applied to cover shipping costs, administrative fees or sales tax. 

       (9)    Any voucher not redeemed within 90 days of issue will be rendered nonredeemable and without monetary value.


SEC. 5        CREDIT CARD UNFRANCHISE AUTOSHIP ORDERS

(A)    Credit Card UnFranchise AutoShip Orders: For the UnFranchise AutoShip Credit Card Program, Market Malaysia will put the UnFranchise Owner’s order through twice if necessary (once each consecutive business day).

If a credit card UnFranchise AutoShip order is cancelled due to a decline, an order with payment may need to be submitted before the UnFranchise Owner’s Q-date. If the credit card declines so that the monthly order is cancelled two consecutive months, the overall UnFranchise AutoShip order is also cancelled, and the UnFranchise Owner must resubmit a request for UnFranchise AutoShip online to reinstate the UnFranchise AutoShip Program.

         (3)    It is the UnFranchise Owner’s responsibility to ensure that Market Malaysia is notified of new credit card expiration dates on credit cards used for orders. Even though there may be available credit, the card could be denied due to an incorrect expiration date. The result is the same as a denial.

         (5)    A Sales Representative may enrol in the UnFranchise AutoShip Program using a credit card.

(B)    Independent UnFranchise Owner Credit Card Order: Market Malaysia will process the UnFranchise Owner’s order through twice if necessary (once each consecutive business day). If the credit/debit card is denied the second time, the order will be cancelled and an email will automatically be sent to the UnFranchise Owner as notification of order cancellation. If a credit/debit card is denied on Friday and accepted on the second attempt, Business Volume will be credited for Monday of the following week, or the week the credit/debit card was accepted.

         UnFranchise Owners may have up to four of their own credit/debit cards on file for use. To add their own additional credit/debit cards or change current credit/debit card information for use, the UnFranchise Owner must mail the new numbers on a signed Credit Card Agreement and note that it is only for credit debit card number changes or change it online at my.unfranchise.com.

         (4)    UnFranchise Owners must designate on each order which credit/debit card they want to use. If no credit/debit card is indicated, or if the UnFranchise Owner only writes “Use Credit Card on File,” Market Malaysia will attempt to charge the first card that is on file in the computer database. If the card declines on the first attempt, Market Malaysia will attempt the same card on the second attempt. In the event of a decline, Market Malaysia will not try additional credit cards that may be on file to attempt to process the order.

(C)    Chargebacks/Disputes: UnFranchise Owners seeking a refund for products purchased from Market Malaysia must abide by the Buyback Guarantee and the Return Merchandise Policy. UnFranchise Owners seeking a refund must contact their upline Certified Executive Coordinator first, and subsequently Market Malaysia if necessary, as specified in the Return Merchandise Policy, before attempting a credit card chargeback for products purchased from Market Malaysia.

         (1)    UnFranchise Owner Liability: Market Malaysia reserves the right to revoke all credit/debit card privileges (including the credit card option of UnFranchise AutoShip) of UnFranchise Owners who request a chargeback from their bank or credit/debit card company.

         (2)    Executive Coordinator Liability: Consistent with the Buyback Guarantee and Return Merchandise Policy, for any credit/debit card chargeback made by UnFranchise Owners, Market Malaysia reserves the right to recover that dollar amount from the upline Certified Executive Coordinator(s) by the implementation of the Commission Reversal Process.  


SEC. 6       BACK ORDERS

If an UnFranchise Owner orders a product that is unavailable at the time the order is processed, the packing slip returned with the other products in that UnFranchise Owner’s order will be marked “BO” (back order). When an item is back-ordered, the computer will search daily for all invoices containing back orders. As the back-ordered item becomes available, back orders will be processed and shipped automatically.


SEC. 7      CREDITS AND DEBITS

UnFranchise Owners are allowed to use credits on these accounts only for transactions for the country indicated on the specific account; for example, if an UnFranchise Owner has a credit on his/her Market Malaysia  Singapore account, then that credit may be used only for a transaction that will be shipped to  Singapore and/or credited as a Singapore transaction requiring Singapore dollars.

(A)    Account Information: Credits and debits are displayed on the packing slips that UnFranchise Owners receive with shipments. The amount listed on a particular packing slip is the overall credit or debit on the UnFranchise Owner’s Market Malaysia account at the conclusion of that particular transaction. If subsequent transactions take place, which affect the UnFranchise Owner’s Market Malaysia account, the credit or debit amount will, of course, change.

(B)    Credit on Account: 

         (1)    UnFranchise Owners may not transfer funds from their Market Malaysia account into other UnFranchise Owners’ Market Malaysia accounts, except specifically to clear a debit in the recipients’ account. 

         (2)    UnFranchise Owners may not deposit funds into other UnFranchise Owners’ Market Malaysia accounts, except specifically to clear a debit in the recipients’ account. 

         (3)    All requests to add credit to Market Malaysia accounts must be submitted on a Product Order Form.

SEC. 8         UNFRANCHISE AUTOSHIP PROGRAM ORDERS

The Market Malaysia UnFranchise AutoShip Program allows UnFranchise Owners to place a standing order assigned to their BDC-001 to meet monthly BV and, if applicable, IBV requirements and to assign excess/overflow BV/IBV in accordance with placement policies.

UnFranchise Owners may choose VISA or MasterCard as the method of payment.

         (4)      Accrual Protection: Selection of the Accrual Protection option will ensure that UnFranchise Owners who earn commissions within the first 90 days of their start date will have UnFranchise AutoShip start early to meet accrual requirements, while any UnFranchise Owner whose monthly volume requirements increase to qualify for Monthly Accrual will automatically see the UnFranchise AutoShip order multiplied to cover the difference. This option also protects the UnFranchise Owners where there is change in product price or availability to ensure AutoShip order adjustment to meet volume requirements.

(B)    Use of Credit Card: Primary and Secondary Credit Cards may be kept on file for UnFranchise AutoShip orders.

         (1)    Primary Credit Cards: Market Malaysia will attempt to charge the Primary Credit/Debit Card for UnFranchise AutoShip orders. If the Primary Credit/Debit Card is declined on the first attempt for an authorized reason, Market Malaysia will attempt to charge the Primary Credit/Debit Card again the following business day. If the initial decline of the Primary Credit/Debit Card is for an unauthorized reason, Market Malaysia will not charge the Primary Credit/Debit Card a second time and will instead attempt to charge the Secondary Credit/Debit Card the following business day. If there is no Secondary Credit/Debit Card on file, the UnFranchise Owner’s order will be cancelled on the first unauthorized decline and a courtesy notice of order cancellation will be sent via email to the UnFranchise Owner.

                  If the Primary Credit/Debit Card is declined twice, Market Malaysia will charge the Secondary Credit/Debit Card. If no Secondary Credit/Debit Card is on file, that month’s order will be cancelled and a courtesy notice of order cancellation will be sent to the UnFranchise Owner. If an UnFranchise AutoShip order is cancelled due to a credit/debit card decline, an order with payment may need to be submitted before the UnFranchise Owner’s Q-date. If an UnFranchise Owner’s monthly order is cancelled due to credit/debit card declines for two consecutive months, the UnFranchise Owner’s overall UnFranchise AutoShip will also be cancelled, and the UnFranchise Owner must resubmit a request for UnFranchise AutoShip online to reinstate the UnFranchise AutoShip Program.

         (2)     Secondary Credit Cards: Market Malaysia will attempt to charge the Secondary Credit/Debit Card as described above. Market Malaysia will only attempt to charge the Secondary Credit/Debit Card once. If the Secondary Credit/Debit Card is declined, that month’s order will be cancelled and a courtesy notice of order cancellation will be sent to the UnFranchise Owner. If a credit/debit card UnFranchise AutoShip order is cancelled due to a credit/debit card decline, an order with payment may need to be submitted before the UnFranchise Owner’s Q-Date. If an UnFranchise Owner’s monthly order is cancelled, and the UnFranchise Owner must resubmit a request for UnFranchise AutoShip online to reinstate the UnFranchise AutoShip Program.

         (3)    It is the UnFranchise Owner’s responsibility to make sure credit is available.

         (4)    It is the UnFranchise Owner’s responsibility to ensure that Market Malaysia is notified of new credit card expiration dates on credit cards used for orders. Even though there may be available credit, the card could be denied due to an incorrect expiration date. The result is the same as a denial.

         (5)    UnFranchise Owners on UnFranchise AutoShip who need to change their credit card number or expiration date may do so online through their UnFranchise Business Account, fax or by mailing the information with the UnFranchise Owner’s signature to UnFranchise Services.

(C)     Other Credit Card/Account Holders: All UnFranchise AutoShip orders must be paid for by the UnFranchiseTM Owner whose name appears on the UnFranchise AutoShip Authorization and Order Form using his/her own credit card or checking account on file. The only exceptions are if the credit card/bank account owner is a spouse or, in the case of a business-entity UnFranchise Business, a documented principal of the business entity. In such cases, the UnFranchise AutoShip Authorization and Order Form must be signed by both individuals and must be accompanied by a notarised letter from the owner of the credit card or bank account authorizing its use. Non-compliance will result in the UnFranchise AutoShip order not processing.

(D)     UnFranchise Owners Cancelling Their UnFranchise AutoShip: UnFranchise Owners may cancel their UnFranchise AutoShip standing order at any time by providing Market Malaysia 30 days written and signed notice. This does not affect termination of UnFranchise Business. If UnFranchise Owners are terminating their UnFranchise Business, they should indicate such termination in writing in addition to the cancellation of UnFranchise Business. Note: If UnFranchise Owners have both BV and IBV items on their UnFranchise AutoShip, then a cancellation of UnFranchise AutoShip would result in the cancellation of the entire UnFranchise AutoShip, including both BV and IBV items. 

(E)     Market Malaysia Cancelling UnFranchise AutoShip: The return of an UnFranchise Owner’s UnFranchise AutoShip orders can result in the cancellation of his/her UnFranchise AutoShip.

         (1)    One Return: When Market Malaysia receives a returned UnFranchise AutoShip order, UnFranchise Owners have 30 days from the date of Market Malaysia’s receiving the product back to request that it be reshipped. Market Malaysia reserves the right to immediately cancel an UnFranchise Owner’s UnFranchise AutoShip if the UnFranchise Owner has not requested that the order be reshipped within the 30 days from the date of Market Malaysia’s receiving the product back. If the UnFranchise AutoShip order is cancelled for this reason, UnFranchise Owners must submit a fresh request for UnFranchise AutoShip online to reinstate UnFranchise AutoShip.

         (2)    Two Returns: Market Malaysia reserves the right to cancel immediately an UnFranchise Owner’s UnFranchise AutoShip upon receipt of two or more UnFranchise AutoShip orders returned to Market Malaysia for any reason.

(F)     Changing Products: UnFranchise Owners may change products online (online changes to product on an UnFranchise AutoShip order must be submitted by the Friday before 2 pm of the week prior to the next draft week). NOTE: Although UnFranchise Owners may periodically change the products on their UnFranchise AutoShip order, the program is not designed for UnFranchise Owners to change products every month or two. This defeats the purpose of the program automatically pulling each month without UnFranchise Owners having to send in more paperwork or keep up with multiple changes. If UnFranchise Owners plan to change products every month or so, they may be better off submitting manual orders each month to satisfy the Monthly Accrual Option and/or the IBV Monthly Accrual Option.    

(H)    UnFranchise AutoShip Ship Destination: Standing UnFranchise AutoShip orders will ship only to a designated address in Malaysia. 


SEC. 9        PREFERRED CUSTOMER AUTOSHIP PROGRAM

If the BV/IBV amount information is incomplete for any step in the normal sequence of BV/IBV assignment on the order form, then Data Processing will skip to the next step in the normal sequence, until all BV/IBV amounts that can be definitively assigned are assigned. Then Data Processing will go back through the normal sequence of BV/IBV assignment to any boxes that are not resolved and assign any remaining BV/IBV. The only exception to this is for first-time orders on which Box No. 2 is indicated (see below).

                           (i)     Box No. 2 – First-Time Order: If any part of box No. 2 is indicated on the filing UnFranchise Owner’s first-time order, the normal sequence of BV assignment for box No. 2 is as follows: 

                                    (a)    200 BV, BDC-001

                                    (b)    50 BV, BDC-002

                                    (c)    50 BV, BDC-003

                                    (d)    Any additional amount requested for BDC-002

                                    (e)    Any additional amount requested for BDC-003

                                    If there is a request for BV to be assigned elsewhere, then it will be assigned only after the sequence for box No. 2 is completed.

                                    If there is no other BV indicated to be assigned elsewhere and there is an overage of BV after completing all five steps for Box No. 2 indicated above, then all additional BV will be assigned to BDC-003.

                           (ii)    Box No. 2 – Non-First-Time Orders: If any part of box No. 2 is indicated on any order after the filing UnFranchise Owner’s first-time order, the normal sequence of BV assignment for box No. 2 is as follows:

                                    (a)    Any amount requested for BDC-002

                                    (b)    Any amount requested for BDC-003

                                    If there is a request for BV to be assigned elsewhere, then it will be assigned only after the sequence for box No. 2 is completed.

                                    If there is no other BV indicated to be assigned elsewhere and there is an overage of BV after completing both steps for Box No. 2 indicated above, then all additional BV will be assigned to BDC-003.

                  (b)    Box No. 3 – Re-Entries: If any part of Box No. 3 is indicated, then any BV indicated will be assigned as available to the filing UnFranchise Owner.

                           Note: All re-entries can be mailed to Market Malaysia for processing or submitted online at my.unfranchise.com. 

                           (i)    If the re-entry request is valid, then the BV will be assigned to the re-entry BDC

                           (ii)    If the re-entry request is invalid, then the BV will be assigned to the filing UnFranchiseTM Owner’s BDC-001

                  (c)     BV Overage: If there is more BV on the order than the UnFranchise Owner has indicated, the remaining BV will be assigned to the last BDC in the Data Processing placement sequence for that particular order.

                  (d)    Splitting BV Evenly: The only time BV will be split evenly among multiple BDCs indicated will be when no BV amounts are indicated for any of the remaining BDCs, so that Data Processing can in no way determine the intended amounts to be assigned to those remaining BDCs.

(E)    Eligibility of Designated Personally Sponsored UnFranchise Owners for Assignment of BV/IBV: An UnFranchise Owner may assign BV/IBV to the 002 or 003 BDCs of one designated personally sponsored Qualified UnFranchise Owners per calendar quarter who has 1) exercised the Monthly Accrual Option by ordering UFMS and placing the requisite PBV, as the paying ID, into their BDC-001 (UFO-50BV; C-100BV; EC and above-150BV), by the end of their previous Q-month and 2) registered a standing monthly UnFranchise AutoShip order with T, N or W status).

Note: Volume assignment is not available to the BDCs of personally sponsored HP1 UnFranchise Owners, Non-Profit Organizations, WebCenter Pro Affiliates, or Sales Representatives.

(F)    UnFranchise Owners Not Personally Sponsored: Business Volume attempted to be assigned to BDCs of UnFranchise Owners not sponsored by the purchasing UnFranchise Owner will result in the BV being assigned to the paying UnFranchise Owner’s BDC-001. UnFranchise Owners, who do not have sponsorship rights due to Same Household, etc., may not have BV assigned to their personal BDC(s) by other UnFranchise Owners, including the UnFranchise Owner who originally sponsored them into the business. If such UnFranchise Owners regain sponsorship rights, then their sponsor would again be allowed to assign Personal Business Volume to the personally sponsored UnFranchise Owner’s original BDC(s) (not including re-entry BDCs), provided the sponsored UnFranchise Owner is actively enrolled in UnFranchise AutoShip (see below). 

(G)    Eligibility of New Personally Sponsored UnFranchise Owners for Assignment of BV/IBV: A New Personally Sponsored UnFranchise Owner is one that is within 90 days of their start date. An UnFranchise Owner may assign BV/IBV to the 002 or 003 BDCs of their New Personally Sponsored UnFranchise Owners who are Qualified, Active and have registered a standing monthly UnFranchise AutoShip order with T, N, or W status.

Note: Volume assignment is not available to the BDCs of personally sponsored HP1 UnFranchise Owners, Non-Profit Organizations, WebCenter Pro Affiliates, or Sales Representatives.

(H)    Personally Sponsored UnFranchise Owners’ Re-Entry BDCs: Attempting to assign Business Volume to re-entry BDCs of personally sponsored UnFranchise Owners will result in the BV being assigned to the UnFranchise Owner’s placing the volume’s own BDC-001.

(I)    BV and/or IBV Assignment Deadlines: For assigned Business Volume and/or Internet Business Volume (IBV) to count for a given week ending Friday, the following deadlines apply:

         (1)    Electronic orders by UnFranchise Management System (UFMS) members must be received by 11:59 p.m. 

         (2)    Electronic orders by non-UFMS members must be received by 4:59 p.m.

NOTE: If Market Malaysia determines that the UFMS Ordering Services is not functioning correctly from corporate office for an unacceptable amount of time, UFMS members have until 1:59 p.m. on Saturday to fax orders using an approved and registered credit card or credit on account as the method of payment. The UFMS member must print clearly at the top of the order form “UFMS Problem – please consider for week ending xx/xx/xx.” No other orders will be accepted.  

NOTE: The determination to extend the normal ordering deadline is at the discretion of Market Malaysia. If Market Malaysia determines that there was not enough downtime to warrant an extension past the 11:59 p.m. deadline for Online Electronic Ordering, then any orders received by Market Malaysia after 11:59 p.m. will be credited for the following week.


SEC. 11      INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

UnFranchise Owners are required to track all product orders using the Inventory Management Tool located in their UnFranchise Business Accounts. 

All orders placed by an UnFranchise Owner, including AutoShip, are automatically entered into the Inventory Management Tool. UnFranchise Owners must create a sales receipt for all products sold. Once a sales receipt is created for a product, it will be removed from the Inventory Management tool. All unsold products in the Inventory Management Tool from a previous calendar quarter must have an assigned status of (1) Personal Use, (2) Promotional/Advertising, (3) Damaged/Expired, or (4) Keep in Inventory by the end of the Calendar quarter. An UnFranchise Owner will not be able to place additional orders until each unsold product from the previous quarter is assigned a status in the Inventory Management Tool (UnFranchise AutoShip orders, orders drop-shipped to registered Preferred Customers and customer orders placed on Market Malaysia websites [MY.SHOP.COM,my.motivescosmetics.com, etc.] will still be processed with no interruption).

NOTE: Orders drop-shipped to registered Preferred Customers and customer orders placed on Market Malaysia websites [MY.SHOP.COM, my.motivescosmetics.com, etc.] will automatically create Sales Receipts and will not be entered into the Inventory Management Tool.
