SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
Because you may be unfamiliar with many of these standards of practice, it is very important that you read and abide
by the Agreement. Please review the information carefully. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
1.4 Delays
The Company shall not be responsible for delays and failures in performance of its obligations when performance is
made commercially impracticable due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This includes, without
limitation, employment strikes, labor difficulties, riot, war, fire, death, curtailment or interruption of a party’s source of
supply, or government decrees or orders.
1.7 Waiver
1
The Company never forfeits its right to insist on compliance with the Marketing Agent Agreement and with the
applicable laws governing the conduct of a business. No failure of TMII to exercise any right or power under the
Marketing Agent Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance by an Independent Marketing Agent with any
obligation or provision of the Agreement, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms of the
Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of TMII’s right to demand exact compliance with the Agreement. An authorized
officer of TMII can affect waiver by TMII only in writing. TMII’s waiver of any particular breach by a Marketing
Agent shall not affect or impair TMII’s rights with respect to any subsequent breach, nor shall it affect in any way the
rights or obligations of any other Marketing Agent. Nor shall any delay or omission by TMII to exercise any right
arising from a breach affect or impair TMII’s rights as to that or any subsequent breach.

SECTION 2 - BECOMING A MARKETING AGENT
The Company reserves the right to reject any application for a new Marketing Agent or applications for
renewal.
2.2 Acceptance of the Terms & Conditions, and Policies and Procedures
By “clicking” on the “I Accept” button on the Independent Marketing Agent’s Application and Agreement, the
Independent Marketing Agent accepts and agrees to the Terms and Conditions with respect to the Policies and
Procedures contained in the Agreement.
2.3 No Purchase Required Other than the purchase of an IMA Business Services & Support Pack
A purchase of TMII products, services or sales aids is not required. In order to familiarize new Marketing Agents with
TMII products, services, sales techniques, sales aids and other matters, the company requires that they purchase an
IMA Business Services & Support Pack at a nominal cost.
Spouses of TMII Marketing Agents may have a TMII business separate from that of the other spouse. However, if
spouses own separate TMII businesses, one spouse must be the sponsor of the other spouse. Dependent children of
TMII IMA’s may not have a TMII business.
3
Independent Marketing Agents must apply for the renewal of their TMII Agreement and pay the Annual Renewal Fee
of $99.00 prior to December 31st. Acceptance of the Application for Renewal, the Annual Renewal Fee and renewal of
the Agreement is in the sole and absolute discretion of TMII.

SECTION 3 - OPERATING A TMII BUSINESS
3.1 Adherence to the TMII Marketing and Compensation Plan
Marketing Agents must adhere to the TMII Marketing Plan as set forth in official TMII literature. IMA’s shall not offer
the TMII opportunity through, or in combination with, any other system, program, or method of marketing other than
that specifically stated in official TMII literature. Marketing Agents shall not require or encourage other current or
prospective Marketing Agents to execute any agreement or contract other than official TMII agreements and contracts,
in order to become a TMII IMA. Similarly, Marketing Agents shall not require or encourage other current or
prospective Marketing Agents to make any purchase from, or payment to, any individual or other entity to participate in
the TMII Marketing and Compensation Plan other than those purchases or payments identified as recommended or
required in official TMII literature.
Independent Marketing Agents are cautioned against using their own bankcard or checking account to fund the
distributorship or product purchases of another IMA. Such practice carries with it certain obligations to complete the
purchase and obligations with respect to refunds. The Company must make refunds by credit to the bankcard used for
the purchase. The Company cannot make refunds in any other manner and has no enforceable right to intervene with a
Sponsor to force payment of a refund to another IMA.
3.4 Advertising
3.4.1 In General
In the conduct of his or her business, the IMA shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of TMII and its
products and services. The marketing and promotion of TMII, the TMII opportunity, the Marketing and Compensation
Plan and TMII products and services shall be consistent with the public interest and must avoid all discourteous,
deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices.
To promote both the products and services and the tremendous opportunity TMII offers, Marketing Agents must use
the sales aids and support materials produced or approved by TMII. The rationale behind this requirement is simple.
TMII has carefully designed its products, product labels, Marketing and Compensation Plan and promotional materials
to ensure that each aspect of TMII is fair, truthful, substantiated and complies with the vast and complex legal
requirements of federal, state and local laws.
If TMII Marketing Agents develop their own sales aids and promotional materials (which includes Internet
advertising), notwithstanding their integrity and good intentions, the likelihood that they would unintentionally violate
any number of a host of statutes or regulations affecting a TMII business is almost certain. These violations, although
they might be relatively few in numbers, would jeopardize the TMII opportunity for all Marketing Agents. Unless the
IMA receives written approval from the Company specifically authorizing the material, the request is deemed denied.
5
"unsolicited faxes" and “unsolicited e-mail” mean the transmission via telephone facsimile or electronic mail,
respectively, of any material or information advertising or promoting TMII, its products, its compensation plan or any
other aspect of the company which is transmitted to any person, except that these terms do not include a fax or e-mail:
(a) to any person with that person's prior express invitation or permission; or (b) to any person with whom the
Marketing Agent has an established business or personal relationship. The term "established business or personal
relationship" means a prior or existing relationship formed by a voluntary two-way communication between a
Marketing Agent and a person, on the basis of: (a) an inquiry, application, purchase or transaction by the person
regarding products offered by such Marketing Agent; or (b) a personal or familial relationship, which relationship has
not been previously terminated by either party.
All Marketing Agents may list themselves as an “Independent TMII Marketing Agent” in the white or yellow pages of
the telephone directory under their own name. No Marketing Agent may place telephone directory display ads using
the TMII Marks.
Marketing Agents may not answer the telephone in any manner that might indicate or suggest that the caller has
reached a TMII corporate office.
Marketing Agents may not produce for sale any recorded company event(s) and speech(es) without written permission
from TMII, nor may Marketing Agents reproduce for sale or for personal use any recording of company-produced
audio or videotape presentations.
Marketing Agents may not publish, or cause to be published, in any written manner or electronic media, the name,
photograph or likeness, copyrighted materials, or property of individuals associated with TMII without express written
authorization from the individuals and/or TMII.
(1) Directly or indirectly promote, solicit the sale of, or sell non-TMII products or services offered through
any other direct sales, network marketing, or multilevel marketing opportunity to other TMII Marketing
Agent regardless of whether such products or services compete with the products or services of TMII; or
(2) Directly or indirectly recruit, solicit or sponsor (or attempt any of the foregoing) other TMII Marketing
Agent to join any other multilevel, network marketing, or direct sales businesses or marketing opportunities
regardless of whether such businesses or marketing opportunities sell products that compete with those
offered by TMII.
(3) Display TMII products with any other products in a fashion that might in any way confuse or mislead a
prospective Marketing Agent into believing there is a relationship between the TMII and non-TMII products
or services. Marketing Agents may not offer the TMII opportunity, products or services to prospective or
existing Marketing Agents in conjunction with any other non-TMII opportunity, product or services.
6
Marketing Agents may not offer any non-TMII opportunity products or services at any TMII related meeting,
seminar or convention.
(4) For a period of one year after the cancellation or termination of the Agreement for any reason, an IMA
may not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, entice, sponsor or attempt any of the foregoing, any IMA to join
or participate in another direct sales opportunity, network or multilevel marketing business, if such IMA was
in the former IMA’s downline organization or if the former IMA became acquainted with or aware of the
IMA by virtue of their mutual involvement in TMII.
Marketing Agents should use their Placement and Genealogy Reports to manage, motivate, and train their Marketing
Agents. The Marketing Agent and TMII agree that, but for this agreement of confidentiality and nondisclosure, TMII
would not provide such reports to the Marketing Agent. During any term of the Agreement between Marketing Agent
and TMII, for any reason whatsoever, Marketing Agent shall not, on his or her own behalf, or on behalf of any other
person, partnership, association, corporation or other entity:
• Directly or indirectly disclose any information contained in any Placement or Genealogy, customer or IMA lists to
any third party.
• Use the information to compete with TMII or for any purpose other than promoting his or her TMII business.
• Recruit or solicit any Marketing Agent or Customer of TMII listed on any report or in any manner attempt to
influence or induce any Marketing Agent of TMII, to alter their business relationship with TMII.
• Use or disclose to any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity any information contained in any
Downline Activity Report.
These provisions shall survive the cancellation or termination of the Agreement. Upon demand by the Company, any
current or former Marketing Agent will return the original and all copies of all Reports to the Company.
While marketing agents may believe it beneficial to provide copies of checks, or to disclose the earnings of themselves
or others, such approaches have legal consequences that can negatively impact TMII as well as the Marketing Agent
making the claim unless appropriate disclosures required by law are also made contemporaneously with the income
claim or earnings representation. Because TMII Marketing Agents do not have the data necessary to comply with the
legal requirements for making income claims, a Marketing Agent, when presenting or discussing the TMII opportunity
or Marketing and Compensation Plan to a prospective Marketing Agent, may not make income projections, income
claims, or disclose his or her TMII income (including the showing of checks, copies of checks, or bank statements).
7
Marketing Agents are independent contractors and are not purchasers of a franchise or a business opportunity. The
agreement between TMII and its Marketing Agents does not create an employer/employee relationship, agency,
partnership, or joint venture between the Company and the Marketing Agent.
Marketing Agents shall not be treated as an employee for his or her services or for Federal or State tax purposes. All
Marketing Agents are responsible for paying local, state and federal taxes due from all compensation earned as a
Marketing Agent of the Company. The Marketing Agent has no authority (expressed or implied), to bind the Company
to any obligation. Each Marketing Agent is encouraged to establish his or her own goals, hours and methods of sale, so
long he or she complies with the terms of the Agreement, these Policies and Procedures and applicable laws.
TMII will provide IRS Form 1099 MISC (Non-employee compensation) earnings statement to each U.S. resident who
had earnings of over $600.00 in the previous calendar year or who made purchases for resale in excess of $5,000.00
from TMII during the previous calendar year.
3.16 Insurance
You may wish to arrange for adequate insurance coverage for your business. Your homeowner’s insurance policy
typically does not cover business-related injuries or the theft of or damage to product inventory or business equipment.
Contact your insurance agent to make certain that your business property is protected.
8
3.20 Excess Inventory Purchases Prohibited
Marketing Agents are not required to carry inventory of sales aids. Marketing Agents who do so may find building a
marketing organization somewhat easier because of the decreased response time in fulfilling new Marketing Agent’s
needs. Each Marketing Agent must make his or her own decision with regard to these matters. TMII strictly prohibits
the purchase of products or services solely for the purpose of qualifying for commissions, bonuses or advancement in
the Marketing and Compensation Plan.
9
SECTION 4 - CHANGES TO YOUR TMII BUSINESS
4.1 In General
Each Marketing Agent must immediately notify TMII of all changes of information contained on the Marketing
Agent’s Application and Agreement. Marketing Agents may modify their existing business information (i.e. change
Social Security number to Federal I.D. number, or change the form of ownership from an individual proprietorship to a
business entity owned by the Marketing Agent) by submitting a written request, a properly executed Marketing Agent
Application and Agreement and appropriate supporting documentation.
There is a $25.00 fee for each change requested, which must be included with the written request and the completed
Marketing Agent Application and Agreement. TMII may, at its discretion, require notarized documents before
implementing any changes to a TMII business. Please allow thirty days after the receipt of the request by TMII for
processing.
Prior to selling a TMII Business, the selling Marketing Agent must notify TMII’s Customer Service Department of his
or her intent to sell the TMII Business. No changes in line of sponsorship can result from the sale or transfer of a TMII
Business.
A Marketing Agent may not sell, transfer or assign a single or certain individual Commission Tracking Centers. He or
she must sell, transfer, or assign his or her entire TMII Business.
10
Upon complete execution of the purchase and sale agreement, and the new Marketing Agent Agreement, the parties
must submit copies of the same to TMII’s Customer Service Department for review and approval. TMII reserves the
right to request additional documentation that may be necessary to analyze the transaction between the buyer and seller.
TMII’s Customer Service Department will approve or deny the sale, transfer or assignment within 30 days after its
receipt of all necessary documents from the parties.
TMII shall at its sole discretion approve or deny the transaction and transfer. The purchaser of the existing Business
will assume the obligations and position of the selling Marketing Agent. A Marketing Agent who sells his or her
Business shall not be eligible to reapply as a TMII Marketing Agent for a period of at least six (6) full calendar months
after the sale. No business will be considered for sale or transfer unless it has been in full compliance with the
Agreement and had no policy infractions or disciplinary actions taken, for 12 calendar months prior to the request for
transfer or sale. A $100.00 transfer fee must be submitted with every transfer request. The fee is non-refundable
regardless whether the transfer is approved or denied.
During the pending outcome of a divorce proceeding or entity dissolution, the parties must adopt one of the following
methods of operation:
(a) One of the parties may, with consent of the other(s), operate the TMII business pursuant to an assignment
in writing whereby the relinquishing spouse, shareholders, partners or trustees authorize TMII to deal directly
and solely with the other spouse or non-relinquishing shareholder, partner or trustee.
(b) The parties may continue to operate the TMII business jointly on a “business-as-usual” basis, whereupon
all compensation paid by TMII will be paid in the same fashion as prior to the filing of the divorce
proceeding or dissolution.
Under no circumstances will the Marketing Organization of divorcing spouses or that of a TMII business formerly
operated by two or more individuals as any form of entity, be divided. Similarly, under no circumstances will TMII
split commission and bonus checks between divorcing spouses or members of dissolving entities. TMII will recognize
only one Marketing Organization and will issue only one commission check per TMII business. Commission checks
shall always be issued to the same individual or entity.
In the event that parties doing a divorce or dissolution proceeding are unable to resolve a dispute over the disposition of
commissions and ownership of the business, the Marketing Agent Agreement may be involuntarily cancelled.
If a former spouse or a former entity owner has completely relinquished all rights in their original TMII business, they
are thereafter free to enroll under any sponsor of their choosing, so long as they meet the waiting period requirements.
In such case, however, such former spouse or partner shall have no rights to any Marketing Agents in their former
organization or to any former customer. They must develop the new business in the same manner, as would any other
new Marketing Agent.
Bonus and commission checks of a TMII business transferred pursuant to this section will be paid in a single check
jointly to the devisees. The devisees must provide TMII with an address of record to which all bonuses and commission
checks will be sent.
11
4.8 Transfer upon Incapacitation of a Marketing Agent
To effect a transfer of a TMII business because of incapacity, the successor must provide the following to TMII: (1) a
notarized copy of an appointment as trustee; (2) a notarized copy of the trust document or other documentation
establishing the trustee’s right to administer the TMII business and (3) a completed Marketing Agent Agreement
executed by the trustee.

controlling.
6.6 Non-disparagement
In setting the proper example for their Downline, Marketing Agents must not make negative, demeaning or disparaging
comments or insinuations about TMII other TMII Marketing Agents, TMII’s products, the Marketing and
Compensation plan, or TMII’s directors, officers, or employees. IMA’s who wish to offer constructive criticism are
encouraged to send written criticisms, along with suggestions to address such issues, to TMII’s Customer Service
Department.
