of you who have taken the initiative to launch your own website. However, due to federal
regulations, all Distributors or Premier Customers promoting Xyngular on their own websites must register

launches. Please complete the following two steps in order to register your site.

condition. When reviewing the content of your website, ask yourself the following
questions: does this sentence in any way imply that the product A) treats a disease, B)
prevents a disease, C) cures a disease, or D) attempts to diagnose a disease? If the
answer is YES to ANY of those questions, its a drug claim and the copy MUST BE

Xyngular CORPORATE LOGO USAGE STANDARDS
Logo Usage
Xyngular permits its Distributors or Premier Customers to use the Xyngular logo in their
promotional efforts. Uses include, but are not limited to, business cards and stationery,
print advertisements, promotional flyers, websites and signage.
INTERNET MARKETING
Xyngular actively encourages our Distributors or Premier Customers to develop marketing strategies using the
Internet. The Internet is a powerful marketing tool, especially in the field of direct
sales, and Xyngular is committed to the idea of e-commerce. Through our Xyngular-Site
program, Xyngular offers Distributors or Premier Customers an effective and affordable means of creating a
genuine e-commerce business.
There are many fantastic ways to use the Internet as a marketing tool. However, there is
one Internet marketing practice which Xyngular does not allow our
Distributors or Premier Customers to use:
"spamming".
What is "Spamming"?
Spamming is the sending of unsolicited email to persons with whom the sender
has no previous relationship.
For example, sending a large number of identical (and generally not personally addressed)
messages to a list of email addresses purchased or obtained from any source, for the
purpose of introducing a product, or a business opportunity. This email is known as
"spam". In general, the recipient does not like receiving spam. It is not like
getting a catalog in the mail... for one reason or another, spam mail irritates people far more, and reflects
negatively on the sender. Also, it is rarely read, especially by the more sophisticated
email user, who can quickly differentiate spam from an email message they might want to
get.
Non-Spamming Policy
Xyngular, as a matter of policy, does not allow our Premier
Customers to use
"spamming" as a marketing technique.
This policy is consistent with the policies of the Direct Selling Association. In fact,
with the overwhelming passage of The Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Mail Act of 2000 in
the House of Representatives, it is likely that the practice of "spamming" will
become illegal in the near future. Among other provisions, this law would give Internet
Service Providers the ability to issue significant fines against users caught
"spamming" (up to $500 per message, with a limit of $50,000). Of course, should
this law be enacted we would have to comply and impose those fines on the
Distributors or Premier Customer who
was actually doing the "spamming".
Additionally, Internet Service Providers (ISP's) in general, and Xyngular's ISP in
specific, have clear policies prohibiting both the sending of "spam" email
messages, and the collection of the responses to such email, even if sent from another
ISP. Xyngular Distributors or Premier Customers who might send "spam" referencing the address of
their Xyngular-Site or the Xyngular corporate website, would be in violation of this policy.
Such violations could result in the closing of the Distributor's or Premier Customer's ISP account, and even the
closing of Xyngular's ISP account.
Therefore, Xyngular prohibits our
Distributors or Premier Customers from
"spamming". Any Xyngular Distributors or Premier Customer found to be in violation is subject to
disciplinary action, which could include the revocation of their Xyngular-Site and/or the
termination of their Distributor or Premier Customer membership.
There are a lot of creative ways to use the Internet as a marketing tool. Try surfing the
web for a while and see what others are doing. The Internet is a wonderful new vehicle for
all of us and it is creating a whole new market. We just have to learn to use it
effectively and within generally accepted good business practices.
