Terms and Conditions

Policies and Procedures

 

I agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below.

 

Please note that the following ADR Agreement may be executed by residents of either Australia or New Zealand. If you are a resident of Australia, you will be entering into an agreement with Nu Skin Enterprises Australia, Inc., and if you are a resident of New Zealand, you will be entering into an agreement with Nu Skin New Zealand, Inc., and will be purchasing products from those respective entities. Additionally, please note that certain provisions may be different for each country and are noted in the agreement.

 

This ADR Agreement is between you, as an independent Distributor ("I" or "me" or "you" or "your") and Nu Skin Enterprises Australia, Inc., a Utah corporation, Unit 2.2 Eden Park Drive, North Ryde, NSW 2113 ("Company") (for Australia) and Nu Skin New Zealand, Inc., a Utah corporation, Unit 16/180 Montgomerie Rd., Mangere, Auckland ("Company") (for New Zealand). I understand that the Automatic Delivery Rewards Program ("ADR Program") is an optional program that allows me to place a standing order with the Company that will be conveniently shipped to me on a monthly basis and charged to my credit card, savings account, or cheque account (Australia Only) on a recurring, monthly basis (unless I have selected the option of shipments every other month).

 

By signing this ADR Agreement, I agree that:


A. General Terms and Conditions

 

1. Sign-up Procedures. I may submit this ADR Agreement online, by facsimile, by mail, or by delivering a hard copy to the Company's walk-in centre. If I sign up by telephone, I must submit a signed hard copy of the ADR Agreement to the Company online, by facsimile, by mail, or by delivering a signed hard copy to the Company's walk-in centre within 30 days of my sign up or the Company will terminate my ADR orders.

 

2. Additional Benefits. Whether a Distributor or a customer, I understand that no minimum product purchases are required to participate in the ADR Program. If my monthly ADR order totals 50 personal sales volume or greater, then I will be entitled to the following benefits: (a) I will get a 5% discount off the wholesale prices of products in my ADR order; (b) discounted shipping; and (c) I will earn product points that may be redeemed for additional products. If I manage my ADR account by telephone or through a walk-in centre, then I will not receive a shipping discount.

 

3. Shipping Rates, ADR Points; and other Terms. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING THE DISCOUNTED SHIPPING RATES, THE ACTUAL SHIPPING DISCOUNTS, THE REQUIREMENTS GOVERNING PRODUCT POINTS, HOW THEY ARE EARNED, THEIR REDEMPTION AND EXPIRATION, AND OTHER TERMS, WHICH TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS ADR AGREEMENT, ARE FOUND AT THE END OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

4. Payment.
(a) I have specified on this ADR Agreement the quantity of each product that I desire to receive every month and provided the Company with a valid Visa or MasterCard number along with the card's expiration date, the name on the card, and other information necessary to set up a direct debit arrangement on my personal savings or cheque account (Australia Only). All products ordered by me must be paid in full before the products are shipped.

 

(b) If I have selected a credit card as the method of payment, then I authorise the Company or its affiliated company to charge my credit card each month for the products specified above.

 

(c) If I have selected a debit arrangement (Australia Only), I authorise the Company, either by paper or electronic means, to debit and, if appropriate, credit to my savings or cheque account. I authorise the depository I have indicated, hereinafter called the "Bank," to debit or credit the same to such account. This authority shall remain in force and effect until both the Company and the Bank have received written notice from me of its termination. I must provide an appropriate period of time for the Bank and the Company to act on my notice of termination. The Company will make no other charge to my account except those that I have authorised (GST charges may fluctuate in accordance with changes in applicable GST rates). The Company and the Bank will be fully protected in honouring this authorisation. If any cheque or charge is dishonoured, with or without cause and whether intentionally or inadvertently, then the Company and the Bank will have no liability to any party. I further authorise the Company to release this pre-authorisation to the Bank in establishing and maintaining my direct debit account. It may take up to five business days for the Bank to verify funds.

 

5. Change of Address or Orders. Unless I notify the Company in writing by mail, facsimile, online, or via telephone of a change in my shipping address or any changes to my order at least 30 days prior to my designated shipment date, the products I have selected will be sent to me each month at the shipping address I have provided. The Company will make the adjustments specified in my written notice no later than 30 days after receiving such notice.

 

6. Discontinued Products. The specific products I selected may be discontinued by the Company. If discontinued, the Company will provide me with written notice at least 30 days prior to the discontinuance of the products, and will continue to send me the remaining items selected on my ADR Agreement. I may select other products to replace the discontinued products. Purchase price and shipping fees will be automatically changed to reflect the change in my order.

 

7. Price Increases. The Company may change the price of the products that I have selected. If the price of a specific product is increased, then the Company will provide me with written notice at least 30 days prior to the price increase, and unless I direct them to do otherwise, will continue to send me the selected products at the increased price.

 

8. Refunds. Except for products purchased with ADR points, all products ordered under the ADR Program may be returned to the Company pursuant to the Company's regular product return policy. The refund policy for products purchased with ADR points is described at http://www.nuskin.com.au (Australia) or www.nuskin.co.nz (New Zealand).

 

9. Termination of ADR Program or Orders.
(a) Upon 30 days prior written notice, the Company may terminate the ADR Program. The Company may also immediately terminate my right to participate in the ADR Program and this ADR Agreement and notify me of the termination if (i) the credit card or bank authorisation provided in this ADR Agreement expires, is cancelled or otherwise terminated, (ii) I violate the terms and conditions of this ADR Agreement, or (iii) if I am a Distributor, if I have violated the terms and conditions of my Distributor Agreement.

 

(b) I may cancel my ADR order in writing at any time. The Company will cancel my ADR Agreement within 30 days after it receives my written notice.

(c) Upon 30 days prior written notice, the Company may, in its sole discretion, modify the terms and conditions of this ADR Program, including but not limited to, the expiration of the product points for Distributors.

 

10. No Modification of Distributor Agreement. The terms and conditions contained in this ADR Agreement do not supersede or modify in any way the terms and conditions of my Distributor Agreement. If I am a Distributor, (i) I will assist my retail customers in obtaining any requested refunds under the ADR Program; and (ii) I acknowledge that I have sold or personally consumed at least 80% of my last month's purchase of products.
