Certain countries represent obvious future potential for AMWAY®. However, the systematic expansion of AMWAY depends on long-term analysis, government consultation, and international negotiations.

That's why we have put a "Zero Tolerance Policy" in place for IBO's whose interest in international expansion causes them to act before they think about the broader impact of their actions. It is important all IBO's refrain from conducting business in new markets that we have not officially announced as "open." We ask that IBO's adhere to and help us to enforce the Policy that includes the following:

DO NOT IMPORT ANY PRODUCT OR LITERATURE
The importation, use, or sale of privately produced literature, tapes or other such Business Support Materials (including websites, email etc) in relation to the AMWAY business is unauthorised. The importation of any AMWAY supplied product into a market for any reason including sales, demonstration, or display is strictly prohibited. Importation of products and promotional materials without proper import licenses, registrations, and labelling may subject the violating IBO and AMWAY to substantial fines, imprisonment, and confiscation of materials and product and undermines the reputation and goodwill associated with the AMWAY trademarks and brand. It may also seriously jeopardise AMWAY's ability to open a market in the future.
 
  DO NOT ADVERTISE FOR PROSPECTS IN AN UNLISTED COUNTRY OR TERRITORY
Advertising for prospective IBO's in the new market in any format is prohibited both in the new market and the IBO's home market. This includes flyers, bulletin boards, misuse of business cards, publication of meeting schedules, and seeking media coverage. IBO's cannot participate in "blind prospecting" by using phone books, professional society membership lists, or use mass communication methods such as spam, TV merchandising channels or computer networks to advertise the AMWAY opportunity.

DO NOT IMPLY OR STATE THAT YOU ARE AN AMWAY EMPLOYEE
IBO's may neither state nor imply that they are employees or representatives of AMWAY Corporation or any of its affiliated companies, nor may they say that they are the exclusive representative of AMWAY in any particular country.

DO NOT SOLICIT "PRE-APPLICATIONS" OR "DECLARATIONS OF INTENT"
No IBO-produced "pre-applications" or any similar documents are authorised. "Lead Forms", which are used only for an IBO's internal use to collect information about prospective IBO's, must NEVER be utilised as "pre-applications" and are not legally binding. The lead form must not be signed by the prospective IBO, and a copy must not be left with the prospect.

DO NOT VISIT NEW MARKETS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECRUITING PEOPLE THERE IN THE AMWAY BUSINESS
Prospective IBO's who are residents of non-AMWAY markets should not be invited to any IBO-sponsored or company sponsored functions. Do not invite citizens of an unlisted country or territory to any IBO-sponsored function showing the AMWAY Sales Plan, importing, selling AMWAY produced, or provided products in an unopened market not permitted. There are serious consequences for initiating any of the actions listed above including AMWAY exercising its right to not accept an application in the new market from anyone confirmed to have violated the "Zero Tolerance Policy". AMWAY may also withhold awards and rewards within the Sales and Marketing plan within an existing and/or new market or may apply other sanctions impacting their ability to operate their AMWAY business.
