Terms of Use
By clicking the "Accept" button on the Red SwanSM web site, requesting (via the web site or by telephone), accepting or using a Starter Kit or Lead Kit or otherwise becoming a Red Swan Lead, you agree to be legally bound by the following Terms of Participation:
As a Red Swan Lead, whenever you refer an individual to Red Swan for a purchase of Item(s) in accordance with Red Swan's Terms of Service, you will be entitled to a sales commission as follows:
(i) Your commission will be a percentage of the amount paid by Red Swan for the Item(s) purchased (including payments to "Charity Designations" as set forth in Red Swan's Terms of Service) based on the table below:
| Red Swan Commission Structure |
Basic Rate |
Preferred Rate |
| Tier 1 (individuals referred exclusively by you) | 4% |
8% |
| Tier 2 (individuals referred exclusively by your Tier 1 network) | 2% |
4% |
| Tier 3 (individuals referred exclusively by your Tier 2 network) | 1% |
2% |
| Tier 4 (individuals referred exclusively by your Tier 3 network) | 0.5% |
1% |
(ii) Your commission will be paid at the "Base Rate" set forth in the table above for Red Swan purchases of Items received by Red Swan more than 90 days after the date of our mailing to you of the Red Swan Safe-Pak utilized for the purchase. Your commission will be paid at the "Preferred Rate" set forth in the table above (i.e., double the Base Rate) for Red Swan purchases of Items received by Red Swan within 90 days after the date of our mailing to you the Red Swan Safe-Pak utilized for the purchase.
(iii) No commission will be paid for a referral that for any reason does not result in a purchase by Red Swan. Red Swan has the sole and absolute discretion to pursue, in any manner, or not pursue any purchase from any referred individual, to accept or reject any Item or other material from any referred individual and to determine all pricing and other terms and conditions of purchase.
(iv) The rules and policies regarding eligibility for commissions and credit for individuals referred by you or your referrals will be determined by Red Swan from time to time. Among other things, (a) the introduction must be the initial and exclusive contact with Red Swan (and, without limitation, such individual may not be part of another Lead's referred network), (b) for tracking and processing purposes, Red Swan Safe-Pak materials must be used to send or deliver (including, without limitation, any permitted hand-delivery) Items to Red Swan, (c) commission eligibility expires 6 months from the date Safe-Paks are mailed to you, if there has not been a sale by such referred individual, or, after the initial sale, the last sale by such referred individual, and (d) no commission will be paid for the purchase of any Item from individuals referred directly or indirectly by any Tier 4 referrals.
(v) Within 20 days after the end of each calendar month, Red Swan will pay you the commissions to which you are entitled for purchases by Red Swan during such month.
(vi) If you receive payment of any commission in error, you will notify Red Swan of such error and, upon request of Red Swan, return such payment to Red Swan. Alternatively, Red Swan may elect to setoff such payment against other commissions to which you may be entitled.
(vii) Upon Red Swan's request, you will deliver such documentation as Red Swan shall reasonably request, including, without limitation, an executed form W-9 (typically required when aggregate commissions exceed $600.00). After such request, Red Swan will not have any obligation to pay commissions until your executed W-9 is received. Red Swan has no obligation to deduct or cause to be deducted or withheld from the commissions payable to you any taxes, withholdings or other amounts. At all times you agree to report and pay your own taxes properly and timely.
(viii) Notwithstanding the table above, Red Swan may modify the commission rates from time to time to reflect changes in costs and competitive pressures in the marketplace. Any such changes will apply to subsequent purchases by Red Swan but will not affect any commissions earned by you before the effective date of such change.
(ix) No commissions will be paid to you after the first anniversary of the termination of your participation as a Red Swan Lead.
(x) All determinations and disputes with regard to commissions will be made and resolved by Red Swan in its reasonable discretion. Red Swan's determinations will be final and binding.
Your participation and status as a Red Swan Lead is subject to any rules or policies (including, without limitation, commission eligibility criteria) Red Swan may institute from time to time (which will be made available on the Red Swan web site). Among other things, prior and as a condition to your participation as a Lead in Red Swan, you must complete a sale of your own Item(s) with Red Swan. You will be eligible for Safe-Paks, Lead Kits, party/event packages, materials, incentives and support from Red Swan in accordance with our policies, at Red Swan's discretion.
You are not, and you may not act or hold yourself out as, an agent, employee, partner or joint venturer of Red Swan, and no such relationship is intended or created by these Terms of Participation or your participation as a Red Swan Lead. You have no authority to obligate or bind Red Swan in any respect or to enter into any written or oral contract, agreement or commitment of any kind on behalf of Red Swan. You are not authorized, whether expressly or implied, to offer or communicate pricing on behalf of Red Swan, and must refer all such matters to Red Swan directly.
You may not make any representation or warranty concerning Red Swan or Red Swan's services, and you may not make any statement regarding such matters other than those made by Red Swan expressly in writing in its standard promotional materials or on its web site. You may utilize only those materials that Red Swan makes available to you (and, without limiting the foregoing, you may not make or carry any Red Swan business cards). You may not use Red Swan's name, logo or marks in any materials or media (including, without limitation, the Internet), and you may not appear in the media discussing or purporting to represent Red Swan, without express prior written approval of Red Swan.
You may not conduct your activities as a Red Swan Lead in an unprofessional or unethical manner or in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or in any other manner that in any way reflects or reasonably could be expected to reflect adversely on the reputation, image, goodwill or business of Red Swan.
In addition to any other rights and remedies of Red Swan, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Red Swan and its affiliates (which for these Terms of Participation includes Lippincott, LLC and its affiliates) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages of any kind arising in connection with any negligent, wrongful or improper act or omission by you (relating to your participation in Red Swan or otherwise) or, to the extent not included in the foregoing, any breach by you of any provision in these Terms of Participation.
Red Swan and its affiliates will have no liability to you or any other person arising out of your activities as a Red Swan Lead or for any other reason, including, without limitation, any party, event or other activity, except to the extent such liability is the direct result of Red Swan's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
In no event will Red Swan or any of its affiliates be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages. In no event will Red Swan's liability to you for any reason whatsoever exceed the commissions paid to you under these Terms of Participation.
At all times, you will maintain indefinitely in strict confidence and safeguard all information of or provided to you by Red Swan which is not generally known or available to the public (whether or not in written or tangible form) and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish, disseminate, reveal or make available to anyone any such information or use or otherwise exploit any such information for the benefit of anyone.
At no time will you, directly or indirectly, make any statement (oral or written, or by non-verbal communication) disparaging or otherwise adversely affecting the reputation or image of Red Swan, or any of its affiliates, or any of their respective services, employees or other personnel, or operations. At no time will you, directly or indirectly, conduct yourself (whether by act or omission) in a manner that reflects negatively on the reputation or image of Red Swan, or any of its affiliates, or any of their respective services, employees or other personnel, or operations.
Your participation as a Red Swan Lead commences on the date of our mailing you a Lead Kit and continues until terminated by you or Red Swan (at any time, with or without cause, by written notice to the other party). Your termination as a Red Swan Lead does not terminate your obligations or the rights of Red Swan and its affiliates under these Terms of Participation.
These Terms of Participation will be binding on you and your heirs, representatives and permitted assigns and will inure to the benefit of Red Swan and its affiliates and their respective representatives, successors and assigns. Your status as a Red Swan Lead is personal to you and may not be assigned without Red Swan's prior written consent.
These Terms of Participation will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of law provisions. If any of these terms and conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all other terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your participation as a Red Swan Lead must be filed by you within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. Any such claim or cause of action must be filed in a state or federal court located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Red Swan and its affiliates will be entitled to reimbursement for any and all damages, losses or costs (including but not limited to attorney's fees and costs) incurred by it in defending any civil action filed or attempted to be filed after the one-year limitations period or in any jurisdiction outside of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
You acknowledge that the commissions you receive will depend largely on the successfulness of your own efforts, including but not limited to the investment of your own time, and also will depend on factors outside your control. You understand and are willing to assume these risks. Red Swan has no obligation to provide any training, promotional materials, marketing or other support of any kind.
Red Swan makes absolutely no representation, warranty, promise or commitment to you of any kind regarding your being a Red Swan Lead other than as expressly set forth in these Terms of Participation.
