b. I have the right to enroll persons in Minerva Worldwide.
c. If qualified, I have the right to earn commissions pursuant to the Minerva Worldwide Compensation Plan.
2. I agree to present the Minerva Worldwide Marketing and Compensation Plan and Minerva Worldwide products and services as set forth in official Minerva Worldwide literature.
3. I agree that as an Minerva Worldwide Distributor I am an independent contractor, and not an employee, partner, legal representative, or franchisee of Minerva Worldwide. I agree that I will be solely responsible for paying all expenses incurred by myself, including but not limited to travel, food, lodging, secretarial, office, long distance telephone and other expenses. I UNDERSTAND THAT I SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS AN EMPLOYEE OF MINERVA WORLDWIDE FOR FEDERAL OR STATE TAX PURPOSES. Minerva Worldwide 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 have carefully read and agree to comply with the Minerva Worldwide Policies and Procedures and the Minerva Worldwide Marketing and Compensation Plan, both of which are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms and Conditions (these three 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 Minerva Worldwide. I understand that the Minerva Worldwide Policies and Procedures and/or the Minerva Worldwide Marketing and Compensation Plan may be amended at the sole discretion of Minerva Worldwide, and I agree to abide by all such amendments. Notification of amendments shall be posted on Minerva Worldwide's website and shall become effective 30 days after publication. The continuation of my Minerva Worldwide business or my acceptance of bonuses or commissions shall constitute my acceptance of any and all amendments.
5. The term of this agreement is one year (subject to prior cancellation pursuant to the Policies and Procedures). If I fail to annually renew my Minerva Worldwide business, or if it is canceled or terminated for any reason, I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as a Distributor. I shall not be eligible to sell Minerva Worldwide 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. Minerva Worldwide reserves the right to terminate all Distributor 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. Distributor may cancel this Agreement at any time, and for any reason, upon written notice to Minerva Worldwide at its principal business address.
6. I may not assign any rights under the Agreement without the prior written consent of Minerva Worldwide. Any attempt to transfer or assign the Agreement without the express written consent of Minerva Worldwide renders the Agreement voidable at the option of Minerva Worldwide and may result in termination of my business.
7. I understand that if I fail to comply with the terms of the Agreement, Minerva Worldwide 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.
8. Minerva Worldwide, 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 Minerva Worldwide and its affiliates from, all claims for consequential and exemplary damages for any claim or cause of action relating to the Agreement. I further agree to release Minerva Worldwide and its affiliates from all liability arising from or relating to the promotion or operation of my Minerva Worldwide business and any activities related to it (e.g., the presentation of Minerva Worldwide products or Compensation and Marketing Plan, the operation of a motor vehicle, the lease of meeting or training facilities, etc.), and agree to indemnify Minerva Worldwide for any liability, damages, fines, penalties, or other awards arising from any unauthorized conduct that I undertake in operating my business.
9. The Agreement, in its current form and as amended by Minerva Worldwide at its discretion, constitutes the entire contract between Minerva Worldwide and myself. Any promises, representations, offers, or other communications not expressly set forth in the Agreement are of no force or effect.
10. Any waiver by Minerva Worldwide of any breach of the Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Minerva Worldwide. Waiver by Minerva Worldwide of any breach of the Agreement by me shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
11. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed, and the severed provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. The balance of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
12. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of FL without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. In the event of a dispute between a Distributor and Minerva Worldwide 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. Minerva Worldwide shall not be obligated to engage in mediation as a prerequisite to disciplinary action against a Distributor. If the parties are unsuccessful in resolving their dispute through mediation, the dispute shall be settled totally and finally by arbitration as more fully described in the Policies and Procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Minerva Worldwide shall be entitled to bring an action before the State or Federal Courts in ??? County, State of FL, seeking a restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights, including but not limited to customer and/or distributor lists as well as other trade secrets, trademarks, trade names, patents, and copyrights.
13. The parties consent to jurisdiction and venue before any federal or state court in ??? County, State of FL, for purposes of enforcing an award by an arbitrator, an action by Minerva Worldwide for equitable relief, or any other matter not subject to arbitration.

15. Montana Residents: A Montana resident may cancel his or her Distributor 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 a Distributor wishes to bring an action against Minerva Worldwide 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 Minerva Worldwide for such act or omission. Distributor waives all claims that any other statute of limitations applies.
17. I authorize Minerva Worldwide 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. A faxed copy of the Agreement shall be treated as an original in all respects.
