I understand that as an eCosway independent Business Owner (hereinafter referred to as "Business Owner") of eCosway.com Sdn Bhd (509213-A), a company incorporated under the laws of Malaysia (hereinafter referred to as "eCosway" or "the Company"), I have carefully read and agree to comply with the eCosway Policies and Procedures, the eCosway Profit Plan and related Terms and Condition through eCosway website, and agree with the following Terms and Conditions:

1. I understand that as a registrant for eCosway Business Ownership, I have the legal right to sign this agreement and by signing it, I will be legally bound by it.

c. I have the right to introduce and enroll other people or groups of people to become VIP Shoppers or eCosway Business Owners, to build a business network and get corresponding benefits from the eCosway Profit Plan;
   
3.

I agree that as an eCosway Business Owner I am an independent contractor, and not an employee, agent, partner, legal representative, or franchisee of eCosway. I am not authorized to and will not incur any debt, expense, obligation, or open any checking account on behalf of, for, or in the name of eCosway. I understand that I shall control the manner and means by which I operate my eCosway business, subject to my compliance with these Terms and Conditions, the eCosway Policies and Procedures and the eCosway Profit Plan (all of which are collectively referred to as the "Agreement"). I agree that I shall be solely responsible for paying all expenses incurred by myself, including but not limited to travel, food, lodging, secretarial, office, long distance telephone and other expenses. I UNDERSTAND THAT I SHALL NOT BE TREATED AS AN EMPLOYEE OF eCOSWAY FOR NATIONAL, FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, STATE, TERRITORIAL, COUNTY, LOCAL, OR MUNICIPAL TAX PURPOSES. eCosway is not responsible for withholding, and shall not withhold or deduct from my earnings, if any, withholdings or taxes of any kind, unless such withholding becomes legally required. I agree to be bound by all tax collection agreements between eCosway and all appropriate taxing jurisdictions, and all related rules and procedures.

I have carefully read and agreed to comply with the eCosway Policies and Procedures and the eCosway Profit Plan, both of which are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms and Conditions. I understand that I must be in good standing, and not in violation of any of the terms of this Agreement, in order to be eligible to receive any earnings from eCosway. I understand that these Terms and Conditions, the eCosway Policies and Procedures, or the eCosway Profit Plan may be amended from time to time, and I agree that any such amendment will apply to me. Notification of amendments shall be published in official eCosway material and sent to all Business Owners via email. The continuation of my eCosway business or my acceptance of earnings shall constitute my acceptance of any and all amendments.

   
5. The term of this Agreement is one year. If I fail to pay my administration fee, or if it is cancelled or terminated for any reason, I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as a Business Owner. I shall not be eligible to sell eCosway merchandise nor shall I be eligible to receive earnings or other income resulting from the activities of my former business network. eCosway expressly reserves the right to terminate all Business Owner Agreements upon thirty (30) days notice via email in the event that it elects to:

a. cease business operations;
b. dissolve as a corporate entity; or
c. terminate distribution of its merchandise via direct selling.

I shall lose all rights but otherwise in any event I shall waive all rights I have, including but not limited to any proprietary rights attached to my former business network and to any earnings or other remuneration derived through the sales and other activities of my former business network.

   
6.

I shall not assign any rights or delegate my duties under the Agreement or any part of the Agreement without the prior written consent of eCosway. Any attempt to transfer or assign the Agreement or any part thereof without the express written consent of eCosway shall render the whole and all the Agreement voidable at the option of eCosway and may result in termination of my status as a Business Owner.

   
7.

I understand that if I fail to comply with the terms of any of the Agreement, eCosway may, at its sole discretion, terminate my Business Owner Agreement or impose upon me other disciplinary action, including but not limited to, forfeiture of earnings, loss of all or part of my business network. If I am in breach, default or violation of this Agreement, upon termination, I shall not be entitled to receive any further earnings. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, I will forever lose my rights as a Business Owner, including rights to my business network, and rights to earnings pursuant to the eCosway Profit Plan. If I fail to settle any outstanding payment due to eCosway, I authorize eCosway to withhold the appropriate amounts from my earnings, or debit my Business Owner's eAccount, if any, which I have authorized eCosway to charge.

   
8.

To the extent permitted by law, eCosway, its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, assigns, successors, and agents (collectively referred as "affiliates") shall not be liable for, and I release eCosway and its affiliates from, and waive all claims for any direct or indirect, special or consequential, loss of profits, damages or any other loss incurred or suffered by me as a result of:

a. my breach of any part of the Agreement
b. the improper promotion or operation of my eCosway business and any activities related to it (e.g., the presentation of eCosway merchandise or Profit Plan, the operation of a motor vehicle, the lease of meeting or training facilities, etc.);
c. any incorrect or wrong data or information provided by me; or
d. the failure to provide any information or data necessary for eCosway to operate its business, including without limitation, my enrollment and acceptance into the Profit Plan or the payment of profits and incentives.

I agree that the entire liability of eCosway and its affiliates for any claim whatsoever related to the relationship of eCosway and myself, including, but not limited to, any cause of action arising in contract, tort or equity shall not exceed, and shall be limited to, the amount of merchandise I have purchased from eCosway. I further agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend, at my own expense, eCosway and its affiliates against any and all claims, demands, costs, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, attorney fees and all other expenses arising or alleged to arise in connection with my eCosway Business.

The Agreement constitutes the entire contract between eCosway and myself. Any promises, representations, offers, or other communications not expressly set forth in the Agreement are of no force or effect. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the Agreement and any other agreement, the Agreement shall supersede and prevail over any term of any other agreement as to the matters addressed herein. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between these Business Owner Terms and Conditions and the eCosway Policies and Procedures (in their current form or as subsequently modified), the eCosway Policies and Procedures shall in all instances supersede and prevail.

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Malaysia. Except as set forth in the eCosway Policies and Procedures, all disputes and claims relating to eCosway, the Agreement, the eCosway Profit Plan or its merchandise, the rights and obligations of a Business Owner or any other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of either a Business Owner or eCosway under the Agreement shall be settled totally and finally by arbitration in Kuala Lumpur or such other location as eCosway prescribes, in accordance with the Malaysian Arbitration Act 1952 and Rules for Arbitration of the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration. If a Business Owner files a claim or counterclaim against eCosway, a Business Owner shall do so on an individual basis and not with any other Business Owner or as part of a class action.
