POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

General

These Policies and Procedures, in their present form and as amended from time to time at Matrix Systems’s discretion, are incorporated into the Matrix Systems Independent Software Partner User Agreement.

Changes - The Company may from time to time amend the terms and conditions of the ISP User Agreement, Policies and Procedures, Compensation Plan and Software Price List.

Policies and Provisions Severable - If any provision of the Independent Software Partner User Agreement as it currently exists or as may be amended is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, only the invalid provision will be severed from the Independent Software Partner User Agreement; the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision never comprised a part of the Independent Software Partner User Agreement.

Titles Not Substantive - The titles and headings to these Policies and Procedures are for reference purposes only and do not constitute, and shall not be construed as, substantive terms of the Independent Software Partner User Agreement.

Waiver - MSL never forfeits its right to require ISP compliance with the Independent Software Partner User Agreement or with applicable laws and regulations governing business conduct.

Independent Software Partners Claims and Representations

Trading Profit Claims – ISP must not make claims that MSL’s software will produce any guarantee profits of any kind. There are many variables which affect the performance of the software such as market conditions, cryptocurrency volatility, day and time of trade, just to mention of few variables. Thus there is no way predict trading software results. You can only mention performance characteristics as contained in official MSL literature.

Income Claims – ISP’s may not make income projections or claims or disclose their MSL income (including the showing of checks, copies of checks, bank statements, or trading results) when presenting or discussing the MSL opportunity or Compensation Plan, except as set forth in official MSL literature.

Unauthorized Recruiting - As an independent contractor, ISP’s may participate in other direct selling or network marketing or multi level marketing ventures (collectively, "multi level marketing"), and ISP’s may engage in selling activities related to non-MSL products and services, if they desire to do so. Although an ISP may elect to participate in another multi level marketing opportunity, he/she is prohibited from unauthorized recruiting activities, which include the following: recruiting or enrolling MSL customers or ISP’s for other multi level marketing business ventures, either directly or through a third party. This includes, but is not limited to, presenting or assisting in the presentation of other multi level marketing business ventures to any MSL Customer or ISP, or implicitly or explicitly encouraging any MSL Customer or ISP to join other business ventures. It is a violation of this policy to recruit or enroll a MSL Customer or ISP for another multi level marketing business, even if the ISP does not know that the prospect is also a MSL Customer or ISP; producing any literature, tapes, or promotional material of any nature for another multi level marketing business which is used by the ISP or any third person to recruit MSL Customers or ISP for that business venture; selling, offering to sell, or promoting any competing products or services to MSL Customers or ISP. Only exception to this rule are that direct customer and personal enrollees of the ISP can be exposed to a product or service (first level, personally sponsored only).

This provision shall survive the expiration of the ISP obligations to MSL, pursuant to the ISP User Agreement.

Targeting Other Direct Sellers - Should ISPs engage in solicitation and/or enticement of members of another direct sales company to sell or distribute ZUKUL services, they bear the risk of being sued by the other direct sales company. If any lawsuit, arbitration or mediation is brought against an ISP alleging that they engaged in inappropriate recruiting activity of its sales force or Customers, ZUKUL will not pay any of  the ISP’s defense costs or legal fees, nor will ZUKUL indemnify the ISP for any judgment, award or settlement.

Downline Genealogy Reports - The MSL Downline Genealogy Reports are confidential and contain proprietary business trade secrets. An ISP may not use the reports for any purpose other than for developing their MSL business. During any term of the ISP User Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after the termination or expiration of the ISP User Agreement between Independent Software Partner and MSL, for any reason whatsoever, an ISP shall not, on his/her own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity: disclose any information contained in the reports to any third party; use the reports to compete with MSL; or recruit or solicit any ISP or Customer listed on the reports to participate in other multi level marketing ventures. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Corporation, Partnerships, and Trusts - A corporation, partnership, or trust (collectively referred to in this section as an "Entity") may apply to be an ISP by submitting its Certificate of Incorporation, Partnership Agreement, or trust documents (these documents are collectively referred to as the "Entity Documents") to MSL along with a properly completed Corporation, Partnership DBA Registration Form. An ISP may change its status under the same sponsor from an individual to a partnership, corporation, or trust, or from one type of entity to another. To do so, the ISP must provide the entity documents and a properly completed ISP Agreement and the appropriate registration form. The Corporation, Partnership DBA Registration Form must be signed by all of the directors, shareholders, partners, trustees, or other individuals having ownership interest in the business. Members of the entity are jointly and severally liable for any indebtedness or other obligations to MSL. As set forth herein, individual may participate directly or indirectly in more than one ISP but must be enrolled by the same sponsor. It is the responsibility of those persons involved in the Entity to conform to the laws of the state in which their Entity is formed. MSL reserves the right to approve or disapprove any Independent Software Partner Application and Agreement submitted by an Entity. For the purpose of recognition and rewards, MSL will only recognize a maximum of two persons in the Entity. The Entity must nominate each year, at its Independent Software Partner renewal time, the two nominees who may be the recipients of any recognition, rewards, trips, and the like which the entity becomes entitled to participate in.

This includes: Being honest and thorough in presenting material from the MSL Compensation Plan to all potential ISP’s; making clear that income from the MSL Compensation Plan is based on software sales and not merely on sponsoring other ISP’s; ISP shall not make trading profit claims; making estimates of profit that are based on reasonable predictions for what an average ISP would achieve in normal circumstances; representing that past earnings in a given set of circumstances do not necessarily reflect future earnings; not misrepresenting the amount of expenditure that an average ISP might incur in carrying on the business; not misrepresenting the amount of time an average ISP would have to devote to the business to achieve the profit estimated, and not stating that profits or earnings are guaranteed for any individual ISP; never stating or inferring that you will build a downline organization for anyone else; never stating that profits or earnings are guaranteed for an individual ISP; and never stating that any consumer, business, or government agency has approved or endorsed the MSL products or its Compensation Plan.

Independent Contractor Status – ISP’s are independent contractors and are not purchasers of a franchise or business opportunity. The agreement between MSL and its ISP does not create an employer/employee relationship, agency, partnership, or joint venture between the Company and the ISP. All ISP’s are responsible for paying their own income and employment taxes. ISP will not be treated as employees for any purpose including, but not limited to, workers compensation, superannuation, or insurance. Each ISP is encouraged to establish his/her own goals, hours, and methods of sale, so long as he/she complies with applicable laws and the terms and conditions of the ISP User Agreement.

International - ISP may sell and promote MSL's software products, opportunity, and services or recruit or enroll any potential ISP or customer only in countries in which MSL is approved for business, as announced in official MSL communications. If an ISP desires to conduct business in an authorized country other than the one in which they are an ISP, he/she must comply with all the applicable laws and regulations for that country.

Adherence to Laws and Ordinances - You must obey all laws that apply to your business in all jurisdictions and Countries you are conducting MSL business.

One ISP per Account - An ISP may operate, receive compensation from, or have an ownership interest, legal or equitable, as a sole proprietorship, partner, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary, in only one ISP account. However, notwithstanding this rule, your spouse and their children who are of legal age may become an ISP and operate their individual ISP’s as long your spouse and family member’s ISP accounts are placed below one of your ISP account and not in a cross line sales organization. The ISP accounts must be a bona fide ISP that is operated by the person listed on the agreement and not by the owner of the first ISP. ISP shall not use business entities, trusts, or other devices to avoid this policy. An exception to this policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis if two ISP marry or in cases of a ISP receiving an interest in another ISP account through inheritance from an immediate family member. Requests for exceptions to this policy must be submitted in writing to the Compliance Department.

Sale, Transfer, or Assignment of ISP - An ISP may not sell, transfer, or assign their ISP rights to any person or entity without MSL's express written approval. To obtain approval, you must: be an ISP in good standing as determined by MSL in its sole discretion; before any transfer will be approved by MSL, any debt obligations the selling ISP has with MSL must be satisfied; the transferring ISP must be in good standing and not in violation of any of the terms of the ISP User Agreement or these Policies and Procedures, to transfer his/her ISP; the combining of ISP is not permitted. MSL will not approve the transfer of an ISP to any individual or Entity that is a current ISP or who has an ownership interest in any ISP. Similarly, MSL will not approve the transfer of an ISP to any individual or Entity that has previously had any ownership interest in or operated, an ISP; no individual Business Centers may be transferred separately from the ISP. If an ISP wishes to transfer his/her ISP account, all Business Centers must be included in the transfer; the transferring ISP must notify the MSL Compliance Department of his/her intent to transfer the ISP account by completing and submitting a signed Transfer of ISP and ISP Application Form. No changes in line of sponsorship can result from the transfer of an ISP; the transferee must be eligible to become an ISP and be acceptable to MSL in every respect.

Separation of an ISP - If ISP’s wish to dissolve their jointly held ISP, they must do so in such a way as to not disturb the income or interests of their Up line and Down line Organizations. ISP should consider the following when deciding whether or not to dissolve a jointly held ISP: if a jointly owned ISP is dissolved, anyone of the joint owners may operate the ISP, but the other joint owners must relinquish their rights to, and interests in, the ISP; MSL cannot divide a Down line Organization, nor can it split commission or bonus checks between the joint owners; if a jointly owned ISP is dissolved, the individual(s) who relinquished ownership in the original ISP may apply as new ISP under any Sponsor but may not purchase or join an existing ISP.

Succession - If an ISP dies or becomes incapacitated, his/her rights to commissions, bonuses, and Down line Organization, together with all ISP responsibilities, will pass to his/her successor(s). Upon death or incapacitation, the successor(s) must present the MSL Compliance Department with proof of death or incapacitation, along with proof of succession, such as a Grant of Probate or an Enduring Power of Attorney, and a properly completed ISP Application and Agreement. You may inherit and retain another ISP even though you currently own or operate an ISP.

Taxes - ISP must comply with all relevant taxation legislation. ISP should seek professional advice from their own accountant or tax advisor as to how to keep proper business records and account for tax aspects of their independent business. ISP’s MSL income may be subject to income tax and so must be properly accounted for in annual income tax returns. ISP’s conducting their MSL business in a business-like manner may also be entitled to deduct certain expenses incurred in earning their MSL income. Such expenses should be properly recorded and evidenced with receipts.

Telephone and Email Solicitation - The use of any automated telephone solicitation equipment in connection with the marketing or promotion of MSL, its products, or the MSL opportunity is strictly prohibited. The use telemarketing operations to sell software products or services over the telephone, or to recruit ISP’s, is strictly prohibited. ISP’s are also forbidden from sending unsolicited e-mail messages or "spamming" to sell products or to recruit ISP. ISP should also make themselves familiar with relevant privacy legislation.

Territories - There are no exclusive territories for marketing MSL software products or services, nor shall any ISP imply or state that he/she has an exclusive territory to market MSL products or services.

Trade Shows and Expositions - ISP may display and/or sell MSL products at trade shows and expositions, but may not display or sell MSL products at swap meets, garage sales, flea markets, or farmers' markets as these events are not conducive to the image MSL wishes to portray. MSL cannot supply inventory on consignment to ISP operating stands at such events. All literature displayed at the event must be official MSL literature and must clearly identify the individual(s) as Independent Software Partners.

The Data Management Rule - The Data Management Rule is intended to protect the Line of Sponsorship (hereinafter referred to as "LOS") for the benefit of all ISPs, as well as ZUKUL. LOS information is information compiled by ZUKUL that discloses or relates to all or part of the specific arrangement of sponsorship within the ZUKUL business, including, without limitation, ISP lists, sponsorship trees, and all ISP information generated there from, in its present and future forms. The ZUKUL LOS constitutes a commercially advantageous, unique, and proprietary trade secret (Proprietary Information), which it keeps proprietary and confidential and treats as a trade secret. ZUKUL is the exclusive owner of all Proprietary Information, which is derived, compiled, configured, and maintained through the expenditure of considerable time, effort and resources by ZUKUL and its ISPs. Through this Rule, ISPs are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right by ZUKUL to use Proprietary Information only as necessary to facilitate their business as contemplated under these Policies and Procedures.

Governmental Approval or Endorsement - Neither federal nor state regulatory agencies nor officials approve or endorse any direct selling or network marketing companies or programs. Therefore, ISPs shall not represent or imply that ZUKUL or its Compensation Plan have been “approved,” “endorsed” or otherwise sanctioned by any government agency.

Identification - All ISPs are required to provide their Social Security Number, Federal Employer Identification Number or their Government Issued ID Number to ZUKUL, either on the ISP Agreement or at the Company’s request.

Transfer of Sponsorship

Conflicting Enrollments - Every prospective ISP has the ultimate right to choose his/her own Sponsor. As a general rule, the first ISP who does meaningful work with a prospective ISP is considered to have first claim to sponsorship. Basic tenets of common sense and consideration should govern any dispute that may arise. In the event that a prospective ISP or any ISP on behalf of a prospective ISP, submits more than one ISP Application and Agreement to MSL, listing a different Sponsor on each, the Company will only consider valid the first ISP Application and Agreement that it receives, accepts, and processes. If there is any question concerning the sponsorship of an ISP, the final decision will be made by MSL.

Change of Sponsorship and Cross-line recruiting - MSL will not permit any change in the line of sponsorship except in the following circumstances: where an ISP has been fraudulently or unethically induced into joining. If you terminate your ISP in writing you may rejoin under the Sponsor of your choice after a period of four (4) months; following termination of your ISP, you may participate as a Customer during the four (4) month period. In the event you terminate your ISP, you forfeit all rights, bonuses, and commissions under your previous line of sponsoring. You may not avoid compliance with this policy through the use of DBAs, assumed names, corporations, partnerships, trusts, spouse names, fictitious ID numbers, etc. If you have been "inactive" (i.e., no purchases or sales of MSL products or participation in any other form as an ISP) for a period of four (4) successive months, you may terminate your ISP in writing and rejoin immediately under the Sponsor of your choice. Cross-line raiding is strictly prohibited.

"Cross-line raiding" is defined as the enrolment or attempted enrolment of an individual or Entity that already has a current ISP User Agreement on ISA with MSL, or who has had such agreement within the preceding six (6) calendar months within a different line of sponsorship. The use of trade names, DBAs, assumed names, corporations, partnerships, trusts, spouse names, fictitious ID numbers or any other vehicle to circumvent this policy is prohibited. ISP may not demean, discredit, or invalidate other ISP in an attempt to entice another Independent Software Partner to become part of the first ISP's Downline Organization.

Responsibilities of Independent Software Partners and Sponsors

Ongoing Supervision, Training, and Sales - Any ISP who sponsors another ISP into MSL must train the new ISP in product knowledge, effective sales techniques, the Compensation Plan, and the Policies and Procedures. ISP must also supervise and monitor ISP in their Downline Organization to ensure they conduct business professionally and ethically, promote sales properly, and provide quality customer service. As an ISP progresses through the various levels of leadership, his/her responsibilities to train and motivate downline ISP will increase.

Non-Disparagement - In setting the proper example for their downline, ISP must not disparage other ISP, MSL's Products, the Compensation Plan, or the Company's employees. Such disparagement constitutes a material breach of these Policies and Procedures.

Holding Applications or Orders - All ISP must forward to MSL any forms and applications they receive from other ISP or applicant ISP, or Customers or applicant Customers, on the next business day after which the forms or applications are signed.

Reporting Policy Violations - ISP should report any observed violations of a policy violation to the MSL Compliance Department.

Terms and Renewal of a ZUKUL Business

An ISP must renew their ISP status monthly by submitting the appropriate renewal fee. This payment is due on the anniversary, thirty (30) days of the ISP acceptance date. If the ISP allows his or her business to expire due to nonpayment of the renewal fee, the following will happen:

A.    ISP's access to the tools is blocked. ISC will have 3 days to renew his/her account.

B.    ISP stops earning any commissions. His/her first available paying up-line will earn his/her commissions while his/her account is expired, as soon as he/she renews the account then he/she will start earning commissions again.

C. If ISP renews his/her account within the 3-day period then he/she immediately gains access to the tools and starts earning commissions again. His/her renewal-date remains the same, for example if his/her renewal-date is 01/01/2015 but he/she renews on the 03/01/2015 then his/her next renewal-date will still be 01/02/2015.

D. If ISP pays for a higher package (Intermediate or Advanced), the new package will commence upon payment and the start date will also be set to that time.

E. If ISP doesn’t renew his/her account within the 3-day period then he/she is removed from the funnel, he/she stops earning commissions, the funnel is compressed and the 50% matching bonus gets paid to the first available paying up-line.

Upgrading and Downgrading - When a ISP pays for an upgrade to a higher level then his/her new start-date is set to the moment of payment and the account is updated immediately.

When a ISP downgrades to a lower level then his/her new start-date remains the same as his/her current package and the account is downgraded at the moment of expiration of the current package.

When downgrading from an advanced or intermediate package to a beginners package the ISP loses his/her position in the funnel, he/she stops earnings from the funnel and stops receiving the 50% matching bonus but continues to receive affiliate earnings.

ISP cannot downgrade to a lower package immediately, but must wait till the existing package expires.

When downgrading to a free package the ISP stops receiving all earnings.

ISP never loses his/her link with his/her directs, so if an expired ISP at any point in the future decides to upgrade again then he/she will immediately resume earning the 50% matching bonus from all of his/her directs.
 

Bonuses and Commissions

Bonus and Commission Cycles - MSL regularly pays commissions to the ISP’s Account located in the ISP Back Office. An ISP must review his/her commissions and report any errors or discrepancies to MSL within ten (10) days from the date of the commission payment. Errors or discrepancies which are not brought to MSL's attention within the 10 day period will be deemed waived by the ISP.

Adjustment of Bonuses and Commissions – ISP’s earn commissions and bonuses based on software product sales to End Consumers. Accordingly, MSL will adjust commissions and bonuses earned from any sale when the ISP or any other End Consumer returns the sold software product for a refund. MSL will deduct the sales volume (PV) attributable to the returned product from the Upline ISP's group volume within the first two (2) weeks after the refund is given.

Loss of Rights to Commissions - You must be an active ISP and in compliance with the terms of the Independent Software Partner User Agreement to qualify for commissions and bonuses.

Withdrawals - ISP who provide MSL with an incomplete or invalid Bitcoin address will lose any funds that were attempted to be withdrawn to the wrong address.

Dispute Resolution and Disciplinary Proceedings between Independent Software Partner

Grievances and Complaints - When an Independent Software Partner has a grievance or complaint with another Independent Software regarding any practice or conduct in relationship to their respective MSL businesses, the complaining Independent Software Partner should first discuss the problem with the other Independent Software Partner. If this does not resolve the problem, the complaining Independent Spftware Partner should report the problem to his/her up line to resolve the issue at a local level. If the matter cannot be resolved, it must be reported in writing to the MSL Compliance Department. The Compliance Department will review the complaint and make a final decision.

Each party shall bear its own costs in the mediation. Should mediation fail to resolve the dispute then it shall be put before arbitration in Limassol, Cyprus. Each party to the arbitration shall be responsible for their own costs, including legal and filing fees. This agreement to mediate and, failing mediation, arbitrate will survive any cancellation or expiration of the Independent Software Partner User Agreement.
