Where we retain information for Site improvement and development, we take steps to eliminate information that directly identifies you, and we only use the information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Sites, not to specifically analyze personal characteristics about you.
  2. Information you share on our Sites: If your account is deactivated or disabled, some of your information and the content you have provided will remain in order to allow your other users to make full use of our Sites.

Richway reserves the right to cease paying compensation to any Independent Sales Associate who recruits any Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate to participate in another business venture. In order to protect the efforts of all Independent Sales Associates in building and maintaining their individual Marketing Organizations and Customer bases, and in order to protect Richway’s interest in the overall Customer base, Independent Sales Associates and all members of their Immediate Household are required to abide by the following policies:

Non-Solicitation of Richway Customers and Independent Sales Associates:

1) During the period that their Independent Sales Associate Agreements are in force, Independent Sales Associates and all members of their Immediate Household are prohibited from directly, indirectly or through a third party recruiting any Richway Customers or Independent Sales Associates to participate in any other business venture.
2) For a period of twelve months after cancellation or termination for any reason of an Independent Sales Associate’s Independent Sales Associate Agreement, the Independent Sales Associate and all members of his or her Immediate Household are prohibited from directly, indirectly or through a third party recruiting to participate in any other business venture any Richway Customers or Sales Associates:

  • who were in the Independent Sales Associate’s Marketing Organization at any time during the term of his or her association with Richway;
  • with whom the Independent Sales Associate had contact during the term of his or her association with Richway;
  • whose contact information (name, address, phone number or email address, etc.) the Independent Sales Associate or members of his or her Immediate Household has obtained at any time during the term of his or her association with Richway; or
  • whose contact information (name, address, phone number or email address, etc.) the Independent Sales Associate or members of his or her Immediate Household obtained at any time from another person who obtained the information because of any other person’s association with Richway. The prohibitions under clauses (a)(i) and (ii) above include but are not limited to, presenting or assisting in the presentation of other business ventures to any Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate or implicitly or explicitly encouraging any Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate to join any other business ventures. It is a violation of this policy to recruit a Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate to participate in another business venture even if the Independent Sales Associate does not know that the prospect is also a Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate. It is the Independent Sales Associate’s responsibility to first determine whether the prospect is a Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate before recruiting the prospect to participate in another business venture.(Please refer specifically to the definition of “recruit” in the Definitions of Terms at the end of these Policies.)
During the period that their Independent Sales Associate Agreements are in force, and for a period of twelve months after the cancellation or termination thereof for any reason, Independent Sales Associates and all members of their Immediate Household are further prohibited from the following:

1) Producing any literature, tapes or promotional material of any nature (including but not limited to websites and emails) which is used by the Independent Sales Associate or any third person to recruit Richway Customers or Independent Sales Associate to participate in another business venture;
2) Selling, offering to sell, or promoting any competing products or services to Richway Customers;3) Offering any non-Richway products, services or business ventures in conjunction with the offering of Richway products, services or income opportunity or at any Richway meeting, seminar, launch, convention, or other Richway function.

1) Violation of any provision of this Policy 17 constitutes an Independent Sales Associate’s voluntary resignation and cancellation of his/her Independent Sales Associate Agreement, effective as of the date of the violation, and the forfeiture by the Independent Sales Associate of all commissions or bonuses payable for and after the calendar month in which the violation occurred.
2) If Richway pays any bonuses or commissions to the Independent Sales Associate after the date of the violation, all bonuses and commissions for and after the calendar month in which the violation occurred shall be refunded to Richway.
3) Richway may seek and obtain from the violating Independent Sales Associate both injunctive relief and damages for violations of this Policy 17. Richway, may, at its option, elect to enforce this Policy by lawsuit in a court of competent jurisdiction in Hawaii rather than by arbitration.
4) In addition to being entitled to a refund of bonuses and commissions and to damages as described above, in the event a person or entity violates this Policy 17, Richway and any Independent Sales Associate that experiences an adverse financial impact as a result of such person’s or entity’s violation of this. Policy 17 shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation, commissions, remunerations or other benefits which the person or entity directly or indirectly receives and/or may receive as a result of, growing out of, or in connection with any violation of this Policy. Such remedy shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any damages, or injunctive relief or other rights or remedies to which Richway is or may be entitled at law or in equity.
5) Violations of this Policy 17 are especially detrimental to the growth and sales of other Independent Sales Associates’ Independent Sales Associate Businesses and to Richway’s business. Consequently, Independent Sales Associates who have knowledge that any Independent Sales Associate has violated this Policy must immediately report that information to Richway’s Policy Administration Department. The failure of an Independent Sales Associate to report such information to Richway will also constitute a violation of this Policy. The names of those reporting violations of this Policy 17 will be held in confidence.


18. Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets
By executing the Independent Sales Associate Agreement, the Independent Sales Associate acknowledges that all information which is contained in the Independent Sales Associate’s Monthly Business Report, including names, addresses and telephone numbers of Independent Sales Associates and Customers, and all identifying information relating to other Independent Sales Associates or customers that the Independent Sales Associate became aware of while conducting Richway business in any way or while attending Richway related events, is Richway’s proprietary trade secret information. The Independent Sales Associate agrees not to disclose such information to any third party (except to existing or prospective Richway Independent Sales Associates or Customers for the purpose of promoting Richway products and business opportunity) or to utilize such information for the purpose of promoting any other business opportunity at any time, whether during the term of his/her association with Richway or thereafter. The Independent Sales Associate acknowledges that such proprietary information is of such character as to render it unique and that disclosure or use thereof in violation of this provision will result in irreparable damage to Richway and to Independent Richway Businesses. Richway and its Independent Sales Associates will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent violation of this policy. If litigation or arbitration is required to obtain injunctive relief or to recover damages, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses.


19. The Sponsor
1) An Independent Sales Associate who is the Sponsor of a new Customer or Independent Sales Associate may not list another Independent Sales Associate who did not participate in the contact or the presentation as the Sponsor of such new Customer or Independent Sales Associate. Regardless of where a Customer or Independent Sales Associate is placed in a Marketing Organization, the actual Sponsor of such Customer or Independent Sales Associate must be listed as the Sponsor on the Order Form.
2) The Sponsor and any other Independent Sales Associates involved in the recruiting and enrollment process may use only Richway’s products and its compensation plan and their personal commitment to help the new Independent Sales Associate build his or her business as an inducement to enroll. Independent Sales Associates may not enter into special deals with a Sponsor, including, but not limited to, promises of the payment of money or roll ups.


20. Supervisory and Leadership Functions
Independent Sales Associates’ compensation is based on sales of product to the End Consumer. To qualify for this compensation, Independent Sales Associates have the ongoing responsibility to promote the Richway business opportunity, to support Richway’s policies, programs and personnel, and to service, supervise,motivate and train the Independent Sales Associates in their Marketing Organization to sell and market Richway products and promote the Richway business opportunity. Any effort by an Independent Sales Associate to convince or entice any Customer or Independent Sales Associate to discontinue or diminish purchasing Richway products, to move from one Richway Marketing Organization to another, to discontinue or diminish efforts to promote the Richway business opportunity, or to promote or pursue another direct selling opportunity, or to disparage Richway, or its products, marketing plan, management team or other personnel is a violation of the Independent Sales Associate’s leadership responsibility and a violation of this policy.


21. Excess Inventory Purchases Prohibited
The Richway business is built upon sales to the End Consumer. It is Company policy, however, to strictly prohibit the purchase of products in unreasonable amounts solely for the purpose of qualifying for commissions or advancement in the binary bonus program. ISAs may not load inventory, nor encourage others to load inventory. An ISA must be able to document that at least 70% of products purchased have been sold. Distributors will be requested to prove retailing of products of five (5) or more of the same product. Any device or scheme whereby an Independent Sales Associate directly or through a third party purchases excess product solely for purposes of qualifying for bonuses or commissions constitutes fraud on the part of the Independent Sales Associate. Failure to abide by this policy will result in termination.


22. Selling in Stores
Richway is in strong support of home-based businesses and personal product presentations. To maintain a standard of fairness, Independent Sales Associates may not display or sell Richway products in drug stores, health food stores or grocery stores. Any display of Richway products to the public must be tasteful and professional.


23. Media Inquiries
It is Richway’s policy to have a single spokesperson handle all inquiries from the media and all media relations. Therefore, Marketing Executives may not, for any reason, discuss their Independent Richway Business with the media, nor act as spokespersons for Richway nor talk to the media regarding Richway, its Compensation Plan, its products or services. It is a violation of this policy to provide any information to the media, regardless of whether the information is positive or negative, accurate or inaccurate. All inquiries from the media (whether radio, television or print) must be referred to Richway.


24. Checks and Weekly/Monthly Business Reports
Commission and weekly bonus checks are generally mailed by Richway to Independent Sales Associates two (2) weeks after proof in which the bonuses were qualified from the week ending date in which the order(s) were placed for commissions and bonuses earned. When the two (2) weeks falls on a weekend or holiday, checks will generally be mailed on the next business day. Monthly bonus checks are paid on the last weekend of every month. Each Independent Sales Associate qualifying for a commission or bonus will receive a Weekly/Monthly Business Report showing the status of each Customer and Independent Sales Associate in his/her Marketing Organization. The Weekly/Monthly Business Report will show the calculation of the Independent Sales Associate’s commission and bonus. Independent Sales Associates should use their Weekly/Monthly Business Report as a tool to manage, supervise and train the members of their Marketing Organizations. The information contained in Business Reports is Richway’s proprietary trade secret information, and Independent Sales Associates are prohibited from disseminating the information contained therein. See Policy 16 for further detail regarding Independent Sales Associates’ obligations with respect to such proprietary trade secret information. A data processing fee is charged to each Independent Sales Associate for generating and maintaining computerized Weekly/Monthly Business Reports. Commission and bonus checks which remain uncashed for more than 90 days will be honored. Commission and bonus checks which require a bank cancellation/stop-payment before the 90 day period will be charged a fee of $35 USD.

17. Non-Solicitation and Conflicts of Interest
Independent Sales Associates are independent contractors and may be active in other business ventures while they are Independent Sales Associates for Richway. However, to qualify for compensation under Richway’s Compensation Plan, Independent Sales Associates have the ongoing responsibility to service, supervise, motivate, train, educate and assist the Independent Sales Associates in their Marketing Organizations. Independent Sales Associates should also attend sales training provided by the Company, or selected trainers approved by the Company. Independent Sales Associates have the responsibility to promote Richway products and the Richway business opportunity. Richway and its Independent Sales Associates have made a great investment in the establishment of organizations consisting of Customers and Independent Sales Associates. Richway reserves the right to cease paying compensation to any Independent Sales Associate who recruits any Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate to participate in another business venture. In order to protect the efforts of all Independent Sales Associates in building and maintaining their individual Marketing Organizations and Customer bases, and in order to protect Richway’s interest in the overall Customer base, Independent Sales Associates and all members of their Immediate Household are required to abide by the following policies:

Non-Solicitation of Richway Customers and Independent Sales Associates:

1) During the period that their Independent Sales Associate Agreements are in force, Independent Sales Associates and all members of their Immediate Household are prohibited from directly, indirectly or through a third party recruiting any Richway Customers or Independent Sales Associates to participate in any other business venture.
2) For a period of twelve months after cancellation or termination for any reason of an Independent Sales Associate’s Independent Sales Associate Agreement, the Independent Sales Associate and all members of his or her Immediate Household are prohibited from directly, indirectly or through a third party recruiting to participate in any other business venture any Richway Customers or Sales Associates:

  • who were in the Independent Sales Associate’s Marketing Organization at any time during the term of his or her association with Richway;
  • with whom the Independent Sales Associate had contact during the term of his or her association with Richway;
  • whose contact information (name, address, phone number or email address, etc.) the Independent Sales Associate or members of his or her Immediate Household has obtained at any time during the term of his or her association with Richway; or

It is a violation of this policy to recruit a Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate to participate in another business venture even if the Independent Sales Associate does not know that the prospect is also a Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate. It is the Independent Sales Associate’s responsibility to first determine whether the prospect is a Richway Customer or Independent Sales Associate before recruiting the prospect to participate in another business venture.(Please refer specifically to the definition of “recruit” in the Definitions of Terms at the end of these Policies.)
During the period that their Independent Sales Associate Agreements are in force, and for a period of twelve months after the cancellation or termination thereof for any reason, Independent Sales Associates and all members of their Immediate Household are further prohibited from the following:

1) Producing any literature, tapes or promotional material of any nature (including but not limited to websites and emails) which is used by the Independent Sales Associate or any third person to recruit Richway Customers or Independent Sales Associate to participate in another business venture;
2) Selling, offering to sell, or promoting any competing products or services to Richway Customers;3) Offering any non-Richway products, services or business ventures in conjunction with the offering of Richway products, services or income opportunity or at any Richway meeting, seminar, launch, convention, or other Richway function.

1) Violation of any provision of this Policy 17 constitutes an Independent Sales Associate’s voluntary resignation and cancellation of his/her Independent Sales Associate Agreement, effective as of the date of the violation, and the forfeiture by the Independent Sales Associate of all commissions or bonuses payable for and after the calendar month in which the violation occurred.
2) If Richway pays any bonuses or commissions to the Independent Sales Associate after the date of the violation, all bonuses and commissions for and after the calendar month in which the violation occurred shall be refunded to Richway.
3) Richway may seek and obtain from the violating Independent Sales Associate both injunctive relief and damages for violations of this Policy 17. Richway, may, at its option, elect to enforce this Policy by lawsuit in a court of competent jurisdiction in Hawaii rather than by arbitration.
4) In addition to being entitled to a refund of bonuses and commissions and to damages as described above, in the event a person or entity violates this Policy 17, Richway and any Independent Sales Associate that experiences an adverse financial impact as a result of such person’s or entity’s violation of this. Policy 17 shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation, commissions, remunerations or other benefits which the person or entity directly or indirectly receives and/or may receive as a result of, growing out of, or in connection with any violation of this Policy. Such remedy shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any damages, or injunctive relief or other rights or remedies to which Richway is or may be entitled at law or in equity.
5) Violations of this Policy 17 are especially detrimental to the growth and sales of other Independent Sales Associates’ Independent Sales Associate Businesses and to Richway’s business. Consequently, Independent Sales Associates who have knowledge that any Independent Sales Associate has violated this Policy must immediately report that information to Richway’s Policy Administration Department. The failure of an Independent Sales Associate to report such information to Richway will also constitute a violation of this Policy. The names of those reporting violations of this Policy 17 will be held in confidence.


18. Proprietary Information and Trade Secrets
By executing the Independent Sales Associate Agreement, the Independent Sales Associate acknowledges that all information which is contained in the Independent Sales Associate’s Monthly Business Report, including names, addresses and telephone numbers of Independent Sales Associates and Customers, and all identifying information relating to other Independent Sales Associates or customers that the Independent Sales Associate became aware of while conducting Richway business in any way or while attending Richway related events, is Richway’s proprietary trade secret information. The Independent Sales Associate agrees not to disclose such information to any third party (except to existing or prospective Richway Independent Sales Associates or Customers for the purpose of promoting Richway products and business opportunity) or to utilize such information for the purpose of promoting any other business opportunity at any time, whether during the term of his/her association with Richway or thereafter. The Independent Sales Associate acknowledges that such proprietary information is of such character as to render it unique and that disclosure or use thereof in violation of this provision will result in irreparable damage to Richway and to Independent Richway Businesses. Richway and its Independent Sales Associates will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent violation of this policy. If litigation or arbitration is required to obtain injunctive relief or to recover damages, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses.


19. The Sponsor
1) An Independent Sales Associate who is the Sponsor of a new Customer or Independent Sales Associate may not list another Independent Sales Associate who did not participate in the contact or the presentation as the Sponsor of such new Customer or Independent Sales Associate. Regardless of where a Customer or Independent Sales Associate is placed in a Marketing Organization, the actual Sponsor of such Customer or Independent Sales Associate must be listed as the Sponsor on the Order Form.
2) The Sponsor and any other Independent Sales Associates involved in the recruiting and enrollment process may use only Richway’s products and its compensation plan and their personal commitment to help the new Independent Sales Associate build his or her business as an inducement to enroll. Independent Sales Associates may not enter into special deals with a Sponsor, including, but not limited to, promises of the payment of money or roll ups.


20. Supervisory and Leadership Functions
Independent Sales Associates’ compensation is based on sales of product to the End Consumer. To qualify for this compensation, Independent Sales Associates have the ongoing responsibility to promote the Richway business opportunity, to support Richway’s policies, programs and personnel, and to service, supervise,motivate and train the Independent Sales Associates in their Marketing Organization to sell and market Richway products and promote the Richway business opportunity.

ISAs may not load inventory, nor encourage others to load inventory. An ISA must be able to document that at least 70% of products purchased have been sold. Distributors will be requested to prove retailing of products of five (5) or more of the same product. Any device or scheme whereby an Independent Sales Associate directly or through a third party purchases excess product solely for purposes of qualifying for bonuses or commissions constitutes fraud on the part of the Independent Sales Associate. Failure to abide by this policy will result in termination.


22. Selling in Stores
Richway is in strong support of home-based businesses and personal product presentations. To maintain a standard of fairness, Independent Sales Associates may not display or sell Richway products in drug stores, health food stores or grocery stores.

It is a violation of this policy to provide any information to the media, regardless of whether the information is positive or negative, accurate or inaccurate. All inquiries from the media (whether radio, television or print) must be referred to Richway.


24. Checks and Weekly/Monthly Business Reports
Commission and weekly bonus checks are generally mailed by Richway to Independent Sales Associates two (2) weeks after proof in which the bonuses were qualified from the week ending date in which the order(s) were placed for commissions and bonuses earned. When the two (2) weeks falls on a weekend or holiday, checks will generally be mailed on the next business day. Monthly bonus checks are paid on the last weekend of every month. Each Independent Sales Associate qualifying for a commission or bonus will receive a Weekly/Monthly Business Report showing the status of each Customer and Independent Sales Associate in his/her Marketing Organization. The Weekly/Monthly Business Report will show the calculation of the Independent Sales Associate’s commission and bonus. Independent Sales Associates should use their Weekly/Monthly Business Report as a tool to manage, supervise and train the members of their Marketing Organizations. The information contained in Business Reports is Richway’s proprietary trade secret information, and Independent Sales Associates are prohibited from disseminating the information contained therein. See Policy 16 for further detail regarding Independent Sales Associates’ obligations with respect to such proprietary trade secret information. A data processing fee is charged to each Independent Sales Associate for generating and maintaining computerized Weekly/Monthly Business Reports. Commission and bonus checks which remain uncashed for more than 90 days will be honored.
