Section 13: Retail Store, Service Establishment Sales and Trade Show Policy

A. Retail Store Policy. A Wellness Advocate shall not sell products and/or promote the doTERRA business opportunity through retail stores such as health food stores, grocery stores, and other such establishments.

B. Online Sales. Wellness Advocates shall not sell doTERRA products through online auctions or mall sites, including but not limited to Walmart.com, Flipkart.com, Indiamart.com, Taobao.com, Alibaba, Tmal.com, Tencent platforms, Yahoo!, eBay or Amazon, unless they obtain written authorization from Company.

C. Service Establishments. Wellness Advocates may sell products through service establishments that provide services related to the products. For example, dōTERRA products may be sold through the offices of doctors and other healthcare professionals, health clubs, spas, and gyms. Hospitals may not be enrolled without written permission from compliance and legal departments.

D. Suitability. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make a final determination as to whether an establishment is a suitable place for the sale of the products. The Company’s granting of permission in a particular case does not waive its right to enforce this policy in any and all other cases.

E. Trade Show Policy. Wellness Advocates wishing to display, promote and sell the doTERRA products and opportunity in connection with a trade show or public event may rent a booth or set up an exhibit at a trade show, public event or convention (“Convention”), subject to the Company’s written approval of the Convention and the Wellness Advocate’s compliance with the following requirements:
