I agree that the Company has the right to change the CPH at any time on not less than 30 days written notice and I agree to comply with the CPH as amended and that the terms of it form part of this agreement. I understand that no amendment to the CPH will require me to incur any expenditure but it may require me to amend my business practices.

I am solely responsible for all payments for any goods or services supplied to me in the course of my business. I am not authorised to make representations or incur and liabilities on the Company’s behalf and agree not to purport to do so.

The period of notice of the termination shall start to run from the day when such notice is posted by first class post to the Company at its Head Office. The effective date of termination is the date on which the Head Office approves and processes the termination request.
15. If I cancel, or the Company terminates, my appointment within its first 14 days I may cancel any unfulfilled orders with the Company without charge and receive a full refund of anything I have paid in connection with my participation in these selling arrangements.

I may also return to the Company (at the Company’s expense) within 21 days of termination of my appointment any products which I have purchased from the company in the twelve months prior to such termination. If the products are returned in the condition in which they were supplied (except their external packaging (where applicable) may be broken), the Company will give me a refund on the return of the products less a 10% handling charge (which will not be levied if the Company terminates the Distributorship) and less, if the returned products have deteriorated due to an act or default on my part, an amount equal to the diminution in their value resulting from such deterioration (which will not be levied if the Company terminates the Distributorship).
