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.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the Amway IBO application form?

The Amway IBO application form is a document that individuals must complete to register as Independent Business Owners (IBOs) with Amway. This form collects necessary personal information, including contact details, Social Security numbers, and payment method preferences, and serves as a legal agreement between the registrant and Amway.

How do I fill out the IBO application form?

To complete the IBO application form, print it clearly using black ink. Ensure that all required fields are filled, including your assigned IBO ID number if pre-registered. Additionally, provide information about the sponsoring IBO, and specify your payment method. Review your entries for accuracy before signing the form.

What happens after I submit the IBO application form?

Once you submit the completed IBO application form, Amway will process your registration. If registered correctly, you will receive confirmation of your status as an IBO. For those who pre-register, it’s crucial to send the form within 90 days to maintain your temporary IBO authorization.

Can I apply to become an IBO if I am under 16 years old?

No, registrants must be at least 16 years old to fill out the IBO application form. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the form in the designated area to complete your registration.

What is included in the registration package fees?

The registration package typically includes the Business Services & Support fee and the IBOAI Support fee. Additionally, you may choose to purchase the Welcome Product Kit. Note that the Business Services & Support fee is refundable within 90 days if you decide to discontinue your registration.

How should I submit my completed IBO application form?

You can submit the completed form by either faxing it to Amway at 800-253-4673 or mailing it to Amway’s Customer Service address. Retain a copy for your records to ensure you have proof of submission.

What are the consequences of not providing a Social Security number?

If you do not provide a Social Security number on the IBO application form, you will face withholding of a percentage of all bonus payments from Amway. It is essential to include this information to avoid potential financial setbacks.

What if I have questions while filling out the application?

If you encounter any issues while filling out the IBO application form, you can contact Amway’s customer service via the phone number provided on the form. They can assist with clarifications and guidance to ensure your form is submitted correctly.

How can I ensure my personal information is kept secure?

Amway emphasizes the importance of privacy and security. Your personal information, including the Social Security number and email address, will not be shared with non-affiliated third parties. Understand the privacy policies detailed in your IBO contract to know how your information will be used and protected.

Common mistakes

When filling out the Amway IBO Application form, it’s crucial to provide accurate and complete information. One common mistake is neglecting to enter the required IBO ID number. This number must be included if pre-registered online or via phone. Without it, the application may face delays or outright rejection.

Another frequent error involves incomplete registrant sections. Applicants often forget to fill in all requested fields related to personal information, including names, addresses, and social security numbers. Omitting any of this information can hinder the processing of the application.

Many people also fail to provide a valid email address. This address is vital for receiving important updates, confirmations, and offers. Using a temporary or shared email risks missing out on crucial communications from Amway.

In addition, some applicants mistakenly choose an incorrect method of payment. It’s important to select only one payment type and to ensure sufficient funds are available. Incomplete payment sections can delay registration processing.

Including false or misleading information, whether intentional or accidental, can have serious consequences. Misrepresenting prior affiliations with Amway or incorrect monetary details leads to immediate complications. Honesty is essential to avoid potential legal issues.

People often overlook the signature requirement. Failing to sign the application or procuring a co-registrant’s signature when necessary will render the application invalid. Both signatures confirm agreement with the terms outlined in the application.

Another issue arises from not providing a birth date when registrants are under 18. This crucial piece of information is required to ensure compliance with age restrictions. Failure to include it delays processing and may prevent registration altogether.

Errors in locale selection for language preferences also occur. Registrants must carefully choose their preferred language to guarantee proper communication from Amway. Miscommunication can occur if the wrong option is selected.

Moreover, some applicants neglect to read and agree to the terms and conditions associated with the registration agreement. Skipping this step can result in misunderstandings about the business relationship and obligations going forward.

Lastly, ignoring the submission instructions can lead to mishandling of the application. It’s essential to follow the outlined process, whether faxing or mailing the form, to ensure it reaches Amway’s processing center promptly.

However, several other forms and documents accompany this application to provide comprehensive information and facilitate the registration process. Here are some of the commonly used documents alongside the IBO Application form:

  • IBO Business Reference Guide: This guide outlines the business model, earnings potential, and key rules that govern the Amway business. It is essential for understanding how to properly conduct business as an IBO.
  • Welcome Product Kit Order Form: This form allows new IBOs to select and order a kit of Amway's top-selling products. It serves as an introduction to the product line and helps jump-start their business.
  • Authorization for Automatic Renewal: This document is necessary for IBOs who wish to authorize the automatic renewal of their registration. This ensures that their status as an IBO remains uninterrupted.
  • Tax Forms (IRS Form 1099-MISC): IBOs receive this income statement for tax purposes, reflecting the money earned from Amway during the year. It's crucial for filing annual taxes correctly.
  • Registration Package Payment Form: This document outlines the payment methods available for the initial registration fee and any additional materials ordered. It often lists options like credit cards or money orders.
  • IBOAI Membership Agreement: This form allows IBOs to indicate their support for the Independent Business Owners Association International, which represents their interests and provides a communication channel with Amway.
  • Dispute Resolution Agreement: This agreement outlines the procedures for resolving conflicts between IBOs and Amway, ensuring all parties are aware of their rights and responsibilities concerning disputes.
  • Personal and Business Data Release Consent: This form grants Amway permission to process personal information necessary for managing the IBO's account and business effectively.

These additional documents provide critical information and support for new IBOs as they navigate their journey with Amway. Understanding each form's purpose can streamline the registration process and help IBOs launch their businesses successfully.

Similar forms

  • Contractual Agreement: Similar to lease agreements, the Amway IBO Application serves as a binding document that outlines the expectations and obligations of the registrant and Amway. Just like lease agreements stipulate terms for leasing property, this application defines the terms of the IBO's business relationship with Amway.
  • Employment Application: Much like a job application, the IBO form collects essential personal information, including names, addresses, and social security numbers. It serves to verify the registrant's identity and suitability to operate within the Amway system, similar to how employers assess candidates for employment.
  • Partnership Agreement: This document resembles partnership agreements in that it outlines the roles and responsibilities of the IBO and Amway. Just as partnerships define how profits are shared and responsibilities divided, the Amway IBO agreement specifies how commissions and bonuses are structured.
  • Membership Application: Like a membership application for a club or organization, the IBO form requires individuals to agree to terms and conditions to maintain their status. Both documents establish the rights and duties of the member or IBO within the organization.
  • Financial Disclosure Form: Similar to a financial disclosure statement, which requires individuals to disclose income or other financial interests, the IBO application requests disclosures about previous affiliations and qualifications. Both aim to present a clear picture of the individual’s financial standing or history.
  • Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): The confidentiality clauses in the IBO Application align with the principles of a non-disclosure agreement. Both documents stipulate the importance of keeping sensitive information secure and not sharing it with unauthorized parties.

Misconceptions

Misconceptions about the Amway IBO Application form can often lead to confusion. Here are ten common misunderstandings along with explanations.

  • The application guarantees success. The registration does not ensure earnings or success. It merely allows you to start your own business and offers the tools to do so.
  • You must buy products to become an IBO. You are not required to purchase products to register. However, buying products can help you understand the offerings better.
  • The IBO registration is permanent. Your registration is valid for a year, and you need to renew it annually to maintain your status.
  • Amway is a pyramid scheme. Amway is a legitimate direct selling company, and it operates on a business model that requires sales to customers. This distinguishes it from illegal pyramid schemes.
  • You have to sell a certain amount of product. There are no sales quotas or minimum purchase requirements, allowing you to tailor your business to your own goals.
  • Social Security Numbers are optional. Providing a social security number is required, failing which may result in the withholding of bonuses.
  • Any IBO can recruit anyone. You should only recruit individuals you personally sponsor, to maintain the integrity of your business relationships.
  • All IBOs have the same experience. Each IBO's experience will vary based on effort, market conditions, and personal business strategies.
  • You must work full-time to make money. You can work part-time or full-time depending on your goals and schedule; flexibility is a key benefit of being an IBO.
  • Your personal information is at risk. Amway ensures that your personal data, like your email address and social security number, will remain confidential and not shared with third parties.
