CV is put into the Dual Team Tree Genealogy every time Product is sold through the PC Program and counts towards the PC’s Sponsor’s PV.

BCs are only eligible to earn Team Commissions. Upon enrollment, a RP is given one (1) BC (BC #1). A RP can earn Team Commissions on up to three (3) BCs. To earn on BC #1, the RP must be Commission Qualified. A RP may obtain two (2) additional BCs (BC #2 and 3) by enrolling with a qualifying Starter Kit or upgrading after enrollment. To earn Team Commissions on BCs #2 or 3, a RP must be Commission Qualified and generate at least 300 CV on that BC’s Lesser Leg.

BC #1 is considered to be the same position as the RP position for purposes of calculating Team Commissions. BCs #2 and 3 are considered at the head of each Leg of the RP’s Dual Team Genealogy for purposes of calculating Team Commissions. BCs have no position in the Sponsor Tree Genealogy.

C. First Order Bonus (FOB)
If a Personal Enrollee of a RP purchases one of the optional Starter Kits, the Personal Enrollee’s Sponsor will earn a First Order Bonus (FOB). The FOB is paid weekly and the amount of the FOB is based on the amount of CV in the purchased optional Starter Kit. Starter Kit FOBs vary depending on the country and Products offered in the kit. FOB is paid out at 40% of the Starter Kit’s CV or 50% of the Starter Kit’s CV if the Sponsor a) purchased a qualifying Starter Kit or b) is Paid As the Rank of Diamond Elite. See the Company’s back office website for Starter Kit CV and details.

D. First Order Bonus Match (FOBM)
Active RPs with at least 100 PV will qualify for the First Order Bonus Match (FOBM). The FOBM is earned when a RP’s Personal Enrollee enrolls a new Personal Enrollee who purchases an optional Starter Kit. Starter Kit FOBMs vary depending on the country and Products offered in the Starter Kit. FOBM is paid out at 10% of the Starter Kit’s CV. See the Company’s back office website for Starter Kit CV and details.

E. First Order Bonus Match Compression
If the FOBM is not earned by the Personal Enrollee’s Sponsor’s Sponsor, the FOBM will be paid to the next Upline RP in the Sponsor Tree Genealogy who has generated the required PV.

F. Team Commissions
1. In order to receive Team Commissions, a RP must:
    a) Be Commission Qualified; and
    b) Have a minimum of 300-combined CV and COV for the Qualification Period in each Leg of the RP’s Dual Team Genealogy.

Team Commissions are paid weekly in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the RP’s Lesser Leg CV subject to Rank Cap amounts. Any PV over 200 in the Qualification Period carries over to the Lesser Leg and paid in the Qualification Period it is earned.

2. Team Commission Rules
     a) Cycle Cap Rule: A “Cycle” is defined as a segment of 300 CV. Due to the Earnings Cap Rule, in any particular Qualification Period,
         Team Commissions will be paid on a maximum number of 334 Lesser Leg Cycles or $10,020. Any CV in excess of 334 Cycles
          will be carried over to the next Qualification Period.
      b) Team Earnings Cap Rule: Team Commissions for each BC will be maximized at 334 Cycles or $10,020 per Qualification Period.
      c) COV Rule: Any CV that was not paid as a Team Commission in the current Qualification Period will be carried over to the next
          Qualification  Period, provided the RP is Active.
      d) Flushing Rule: Flushing occurs in two situations:
           i) If a RP is not Active for any Qualification Period, all CV and COV in each Leg will be reduced to zero (“flushed”)
              in the next Qualification  Period; or
           ii) If a RP earns Team Commissions during a Qualification Period, the amount of CV on which the Team Commissions
               were paid will be flushed from each Leg.

G. Executive Leadership Pool Bonus (ELPB)
One and a half percent (1.5%) of total Company CV will be put into the ELPB each week. RPs achieving and being Paid As Rank Bronze Executive to Gold Executive qualify for shares in the Pool as shown in the table below. The ELPB is paid weekly.

Rank                        Number of Shares
Bronze Executive                   1
Silver Executive                     2
Gold Executive                      3

H. Generational Matching Bonus (GMB)
In order to receive the Generational Matching Bonus (GMB), a RP must be Commission Qualified and meet the following qualification criteria.

K. Rolling Group Volume
Once a RP has hit an Elite Rank, any excess GV that was not used in the current WQP for Rank qualifications will roll forward to the following WQP. Excess GV will roll forward for four (4) consecutive weeks to help with qualification in other WQPs before it expires.
Rolling Group Volume is calculated on an individual RP basis, taking into account that only fifty percent (50%) can come from any one Enrollment Leg.

L. The 110% Rule
The 110% Rule applies to any Dual Team Position who’s Lesser Leg has COV. In this circumstance, the Team Commission payout will be based on all of the new Lesser Leg Volume plus up to ten percent (10%) of the COV.
