2. DEFINITIONS
In these Policies and Procedures the following terms shall have the meanings specified below.
2.1 LifeWave Member: A person or other entity who joins LifeWave, fulfills all conditions, reviews and
agrees to all Policies and Procedures, and whose application is accepted by the Company.
2.2 LifeWave Application: The online or printed application form which must be completed in order to
become a LifeWave Member. This includes, but is not limited to the full review and acceptance of the
company's policies and procedures.
2.3 LifeWave Group: The new Members and retail customers that are enrolled by a LifeWave Member.
2.4 LifeWave Sponsor: The person or entity (LifeWave Member) who enrolls another LifeWave Member.
2.5 LifeWave Membership: The position within the LifeWave Membership organization that a Member
holds.
2.6 Sponsor Upline: The LifeWave Member organization under which a new Member enrolls, beginning
with the Member's Sponsor, and continuing up through each successive Member's Sponsor.
2.7 Placement Upline: The LifeWave Member organization under which a new Member enrolls, beginning
with the Member immediately above the new Member, regardless of who the new member's Sponsor is,
and continuing up through all subsequent Members without regard to Sponsorship relationships.
2.8 LifeWave Brand Partner: This term is used interchangeably with the term "LifeWave Member"
throughout the LifeWave system.
5. SPONSORING
5.1 Sponsoring: Sponsoring is an important part of being a LifeWave Member and carries with it many
benefits and responsibilities. A LifeWave Member may act as the Sponsor for new Members if the Sponsor
is in good standing with LifeWave.
5.2 Prospective LifeWave Member Information: A Sponsor must provide each potential LifeWave
Member with a copy of the most current Policies and Procedures prior to, or when giving to such person a
LifeWave Membership Application form. If the prospective New Member is enrolling online, he/she must
check the box indicating acceptance of all Policies & Procedures. They may download and print a copy of
these Policies & Procedures in the online process.
5.3 LifeWave Down line Placement: A LifeWave Member may only place a personally sponsored person
in his, her or its LifeWave down lines under his, her or its Financial Centers. Placing people in other lines,
including "cross lines" is not allowed.
5.4 Change of Sponsorship: The changing of sponsors and placements is generally not allowed. Once a
LifeWave Member is sponsored, LifeWave believes in protecting that relationship, except in the case of a
LifeWave Member using unethical means to sponsor someone, or in the case of an honest mistake in
placement. A change of sponsor may also be granted if the request of a transfer represents an
extraordinary circumstance or has been caused by any failure of a sponsor to act according to LifeWave's
policies and ethics. When a change of sponsorship has been reviewed and approved by Customer Service,
it may then be completed only upon LifeWave's receipt of a signed Change of Sponsor approval form from
the current sponsor, the next 2 uplines through line of sponsorship, and the new sponsor. A charge of $50
(or then current fee) applies to the completion of this request.
In case of a mistake in placement, the change must be requested and executed within five (5) business
days of the original date of enrollment. If a request of placement change is received after the first five days
of the enrolment, it will be subject to review by LifeWave. A charge of $50 (or then current fee) applies to
the completion of this request. To make this change, the member must submit a Move Business Center
form. Once the complete Move Business Center form has been submitted, the member agrees to the
processing fee where applicable. LifeWave will not process any such change without all required
signatures.
In addition, the Member whose position is to be moved must not have sponsored anyone in the intervening
time or have a brand partner under their position. Any changes made, for any reason, are made in the sole
discretion of LifeWave, INC. A change in sponsorship can occur if the Member resigns their membership
and waits the required six months to re-sponsor. See 11.2 Voluntary Resignation.
5.5 Global Sponsoring: A LifeWave Member may sponsor people in his, her or its down lines from other
countries where LifeWave, INC. is currently doing business.
