Introduction: Referral Bonus Plan


Our business model is designed to reward those people that promote the Vemma brand products. This is accomplished by devoting almost our entire marketing budget to fund the Vemma Referral Bonus Plan. This plan is based on the simple two team-building concept — a left side team and a right side team. Since there are just two teams to build, this creates excitement as new Brand Partners join, one after the other, down team lines, helping more people benefit from the volume and creating greater leverage within the plan.

When you enroll as a Brand Partner and place an Auto-delivery order for any Vemma product worth at least sixty (60) Qualifying Volume (QV), or as we like to call "reward points" you will receive access to the Back Office and a free marketing website. When you encounter someone wanting to become a Brand Partner, you can enroll them through this marketing website. As soon as you qualify your business by enrolling at least one (1) active Brand Partner on each of your left and right sides (active is defined as having an active 60 reward point minimum Auto-delivery order on file), you are then eligible to earn immediate income.

Best yet, the Vemma Referral Bonus Plan pays out a true fifty percent (50%) of the Commissionable Volume (CV) weekly, so you have the opportunity to get paid every week! Your monthly Auto-delivery order will activate your Brand Partner account for four (4) weeks including the volume week in which the order is placed, plus a one (1) week grace period.

The Vemma Referral Bonus Plan features two forms of income:

Immediate Income

Fast Start Bonus

Qualifications: Active with 60 reward point Auto-delivery order on file (Brand Partners with rank of Platinum and above are considered active with 120 reward point Auto-delivery order). Eligible Enrollers will receive the Fast Start Bonus on the first order of those Brand Partners or Consumers whom they personally enrolled. To fund the Fast Start Bonus, each first sale will contribute half of the order's normal reward points. Please see the Cycle Credit chart for exact Fast Start Bonus amounts. Click here.

Fast Start Bonus is subject to compression. If the Enroller is inactive then the first eligible upline Enroller will receive the Fast Start Bonus.

For three (3) months during each calendar year, Vemma will donate a portion of the proceeds from every purchase of Vemma NEXT to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®. The three (3) month period designated for donations to Children's Miracle Network will be determined by Vemma.

Long Term Income

Cycle Bonus

Qualifications: Active Brand Partners with 120 reward point Auto-delivery order on file, along with two (2) personally enrolled active Brand Partners, one (1) on each team.

downline

At the end of each volume period (week), Vemma's computers search down your left and right teams and whenever 180 reward points in one team and 360 reward points on the opposite team occur (sides can switch back and forth), Brand Partners are eligible to earn a Cycle Bonus of approximately $22 - $25 USD. The weekly cycle value will be determined each week based upon total sales divided by the amount of qualified cycles.

For cycle volume information associated with products, please refer to the Cycle Credit Chart on page 5 of the Vemma Compensation Plan booklet. Click here to download.

Cycle Earnings Levels: The cycle earnings levels only applies to the Cycle Bonus and do not affect any other areas of income in the Vemma Referral Bonus Plan. Once they reach the maximum cycle level earnings on that position for four (4) consecutive weeks, they will be given one (1) new position above their maxed position. That position will have the same earning level limit, unless they rank advance to the higher rank as specified below. Up to two (2) positions maximum are allowed per Brand Partner, four (4) individual positions per married couple.

Earnings Level

Brand Partner Rank

$25,000 per week/$1,300,000 USD per year

Brand Partner - Royal Ambassador

$30,000 per week/$1,560,000 USD per year

Star Royal Ambassador

$35,000 per week/$1,820,000 USD per year

Pinnacle Leader

Fast Start will pay out on the first order on an account. It will also pay out on the first purchase of a Builder Pack if placed within the first 60 days of enrollment.

Brand Partners will not be eligible to receive some bonuses until they have qualified their Brand Partnership by having a 120 reward point Auto-delivery on file and one (1) active Vemma Brand Partner on their left team and one (1) active Vemma Brand Partner on their right team whom they personally enrolled. Brand Partner will be able to accrue volume in their profit leg if they are qualified. However, if an active Brand Partner has four (4) consecutive weeks of non-qualification, the volume in their profit leg only will flush. For every consecutive week after the four (4) week flush that they continue to not qualify, no volume will accumulate on the profit side. Any sales that they have in the power leg of their organization will remain there until they have qualified their Brand Partnership as long as they are active. Brand Partners can accumulate or bank a maximum of 2,000,000 reward points in their power leg.

Brand Partners below the rank of Platinum are considered active if they have an Auto-delivery base order with a 60 reward point minimum order every five (5) weeks. Platinum and above Brand Partners are considered active if they have an Auto-delivery base order with a 120 reward point minimum order every five (5) weeks.

If a Brand Partner has four (4) consecutive volume periods* in which they are not active, all accumulated volume in both teams will flush.

At the end of every corporate 52-week period, all power leg volume in excess of fifteen (15) times the total amount of the Brand Partner's most recent four (4) week profit leg volume will be flushed, if that Brand Partner was enrolled prior to week 27. Brand Partners enrolled during or after week 27 will not flush until the following year. At the start of week 1, all power leg volume exceeding the set threshold will be flushed. The threshold is equal to 150,000 reward points or fifteen (15) times the profit leg volume generated during weeks 49 through 52, whichever is greater. The most recent four (4) week profit leg volume is defined as any and all generated volume that occurs in Brand Partner's profit leg during weeks 49 through 52.

*Volume period is defined as a Vemma business period beginning on Friday at 12:00 a.m. and ending at 11:59 p.m. Thursday night.
**All Vemma bonuses will be calculated in USD and paid in local currency. Vemma will evaluate and modify when necessary the exchange rates on a monthly basis.

Enroller Matching Bonus

Qualifications: Active and qualified with a 120 reward points and four (4) personally enrolled active Brand Partners, one (1) on each side of their team, two (2) anywhere else on their team.

The Enroller Matching Bonus pays the Enroller ten percent (10%) on all of their personally enrolled Brand Partners' Cycle Bonus earned amounts. If a Brand Partner does not meet the eligibility requirements to earn it, the Enroller Matching Bonus will compress to the first eligible upline Enroller.

A Brand Partner cannot earn both Enroller Matching Bonus and the Second Tier Matching Bonus on the same downline Brand Partner. In the case of compression of the Enroller Matching Bonus due to the direct Enroller's ineligibility, the Second Tier Matching Bonus will compress as well.

Second Tier Matching Bonus

Qualifications: Active and qualified with 120 reward points and six (6) personally enrolled active Brand Partners, one (1) on each side of their team, four (4) anywhere on their team.

Brand Partners earn on the people that they personally enrolled, plus they are eligible to earn a ten percent (10%) Matching Bonus on all of their personal enrollees' personally enrolled Brand Partners' Cycle Bonus earned amounts. If a Brand Partner does not meet the eligibility requirements to earn it, the Second Tier Matching Bonus will compress to the first eligible upline Enroller.

A Brand Partner cannot earn both Enroller Matching Bonus and the Second Tier Matching Bonus on the same downline Brand Partner. In the case of compression of the Enroller Matching Bonus due to the direct Enroller's ineligibility, the Second Tier Matching Bonus will compress as well.

Tier Matching Bonus Cap
Earnings of the Matching Bonuses up to $5,000 USD in a four (4) week rank advancement period will not require specific structure or rank qualifications. To be eligible to earn the Matching Bonuses in excess of $5,000 USD in a four (4) week rank advancement period, a Brand Partner must earn and maintain the "Paid As" rank of Platinum or higher.

Momentum Bonus

Qualifications: Active and qualified with a 120 reward point Auto-delivery order and one (1) personally enrolled active Brand Partner on each team. Additional requirements are shown in the table below.

This bonus pays out at the end of each four (4) week rank advancement period based upon the paid ranks achieved during the current or previous rank advancement period. Momentum Bonus is prorated amongst all qualified participants based upon “Paid As” rank. The Momentum Bonus Pool encompasses approximately three percent (3%) of the sales generated from countries that participate in the Momentum Bonus and does not include orders upon which we paid a Fast Start Bonus. Momentum Volume accumulated in a four (4) week rank advancement period does not roll over to the next four (4) week period. The payout at each level may vary from period to period. Brand Partners can participate in the pools at each Momentum pin level for a period of no longer than twelve (12) months from the date they first achieve that Momentum pin level. Brand Partners who do not meet the requirements for their current paid level may participate in a lower pool for which they meet the requirements.^ All Brand Partners who reach the rank of Platinum or above transition from the Momentum Bonus to the Platinum Club bonus.

^ Brand Partners with a “Paid As” rank of Platinum are eligible to earn the Momentum Bonus at the Bronze through Diamond levels. Once Brand Partners qualify for the Platinum Club Bonus, they are no longer eligible to earn the Momentum Bonus. Brand Partners who reach the rank of Star Platinum or above are no longer eligible to earn the Momentum Bonus.

*The downline Brand Partner’s “Paid As” rank must be achieved and maintained by earning a certain number of cycles in a four (4) week rank advancement period as defined in the Rank Advancement section. Brand Partners who purchased a Builder Pack(s) in order to achieve the “Paid As” rank will not count toward the rank required in both teams.

Builder Pack Flag

Qualifications: Active and qualified with a 120 reward point Auto-delivery order, one (1) personally enrolled active Brand Partner on each team and the purchase of a Builder Pack. Those Brand Partners who choose to start their Vemma Business with an optional Builder Pack will be eligible to earn Momentum Bonus at the purchased level. This Builder Pack Flag will be honored for 90 days from the day they enroll with Vemma, provided they achieve Momentum Bonus qualifications.

For example: A Brand Partner purchases a Silver Builder Pack, once they are qualified with 500 reward points consisting of Auto-Delivery and/or Builder Pack orders from enrollership volume on each side of their business1, they would be paid at the Silver level (up to $200) instead of the Bronze level (up to $100). Once the 90-day Flag ends, the Brand Partner would be paid normally as qualified.

1Momentum Bonus structure requirements are waived during the Builder Pack Flag period.

Platinum Club

Qualifications: Active and qualified with a 120 reward point Auto-delivery order on file. Brand Partners must have purchased a Silver Builder Pack or greater2 within the first 60 days of enrollment.3

Brand Partners are required to be “Paid As” Platinum or above while being Platinum Momentum Bonus qualified. Structure requirements consist of having a “Paid As” Diamond on each side in the enrollment line and 500 reward points consisting of Auto-delivery and/or Builder Pack orders from enrollership volume on each side of the business.

Brand Partners must “set” themselves as qualified to earn this bonus. A Brand Partner must maintain these qualifications for two (2) consecutive four (4) week rank advancement periods to “set” themselves as eligible for this program. Once a Brand Partner is “set”, they will be eligible for payout each time they meet the requirement in a four (4) week rank advancement period.

Once qualified for this program, Brand Partners will be eligible to earn the Platinum Club Car Bonus4 if vehicle requirements are met and approved by Vemma.5 Once Brand Partners qualify for the Platinum Club Car Bonus, they will no longer be eligible to earn the Momentum Bonus.

If a Brand Partner chooses to opt-out of the Platinum Club Car Bonus option, the Brand Partner will receive the Cash Bonus option, which is 50% of the Car Bonus, dependent on your rank.6

If a Brand Partner skips a rank while rank advancing and maintains this for three (3) consecutive Rank Advancement periods, a one-time bonus will pay out for the lower ranks skipped.

Summary: Referral Bonus Plan

Glossary of Terms

CV/QV – Reward Points

Equal in the Vemma Referral Bonus Plan, both Commissionable Volume (CV) and Qualifying Volume (QV) are also known as "reward points". The value associated to the specific product that allows you to build cycles and earn bonuses.

Enroller
When you introduce a new person to the Vemma opportunity and sign them up, you are their personal Enroller. Your Enroller is the person who introduced you to Vemma.

Sponsor
The term Sponsor refers to the person immediately above you in the Vemma structure. You are the Sponsor of the two (2) Brand Partners immediately below you, one on each side of your team.

Auto-delivery
Auto-delivery is a recurring monthly order that is delivered to you each month saving you the trouble of having to call in or go online.

Qualify
Each Brand Partnership must be qualified to earn bonuses. You qualify your Brand Partnership by being active with a 120 reward point Auto-delivery and personally enrolling one (1) Brand Partner on your left side and one (1) Brand Partner on your right side, each meeting the active requirements based on individual rank.

Active
In order to be considered active, you must have an Auto-delivery base order with a 60 reward point minimum order every five (5) weeks. Platinum and above Brand Partners are considered active if they have an Auto-delivery base order with 120 reward points every five (5) weeks. A 60 reward point or 120 reward point order will activate your account for four (4) volume periods including the volume week in which the order is placed, plus one (1) volume week grace period. As an active Brand Partner, you can accrue volume from sales that occur under you in your power leg.

Enrollment Line
Those who are connected by being personally enrolled. For example, your personally enrolled Brand Partners and their personally enrolled Brand Partners are part of an enrollment line.

Enrollership Volume
This refers to all volume that originates from your activity of enrolling a Brand Partner and helping them grow their teams. Any spillover or banked volume is excluded from this type of volume for the purpose of the Momentum Bonus.

Two Team Requirements

Elite Balanced Building Requirements
Balanced Building requirements apply to Vemma Brand Partners who are "Paid As" Presidential rank or above. Affected Brand Partners will be required to maintain a specific minimum structure within their personally enrolled downline on both sides of their organization to continue to receive one hundred percent (100%) of their Cycle Bonus and Global Bonus Pools share earnings. All contributions from each week are used to increase the company-wide cycle point value in future weeks.

*Personally enrolled downline rank refers to any Brand Partner in your enrollment downline.

**If you do not meet the Balanced Building requirements for your "Paid As" rank and you do not meet the requirements for a lower rank, the contribution will be at the higher percentage. For example, if someone is "Paid As" Ambassador and does not meet Balanced Building requirements for Ambassador and Presidential ranks by their grace period, the total percentage withheld will be twenty percent (20%). Those Brand Partners "Paid As" Ambassador and higher rank who meet the Presidential Rank requirements, but not the Ambassador Rank requirements will contribute ten percent (10%) of their Cycle Bonus earnings.

These requirements are individual and not cumulative. For example, if someone is growing quickly and reaches Presidential and then advances to Ambassador rank the next four (4) week qualifying cycle, that does NOT waive the twelve (12) weeks to develop a Star Platinum. Additionally, the clock will start for the Ambassador requirement twenty-four (24) weeks from that rank advancement date.

PLEASE NOTE: Maintaining the leader ranks in both teams means that although a Brand Partner may meet the highest achieved pin rank requirement, if the qualified “Paid As” rank is not MAINTAINED on a monthly basis, the Brand Partner will be treated as if the level was not attained and forfeit the corresponding portion of their cycle bonus income until it becomes qualified again.
