The new advisors are to receive the best possible training and support from the existing consultant.
Spouses, civil partners and life partners can only be sponsored jointly (i.e. on one application form). Partners cannot sponsor each other. In the event of a separation, divorce or dissolution of a civil or life partnership only one of the jointly sponsored partners can continue the business and receive commissions. In this case the partners must inform MAGNETIX about which of the partners will continue the business and is entitled to receive commissions.

MAGNETIX is entitled to refuse the changing of a sponsor without providing reasons or to refuse their agreement.
7.2.2. If a consultant does not receive the necessary agreements to the change, he or she can terminate the consultant agreement with MAGNETIX. After termination the consultant loses their downline and discount status. A new registration with the business under a di. erent sponsor can only take place at the earliest 6 months after the termination takes effect.
7.2.3. It is generally not permitted for a consultant to sell / transfer their downline.
7.3. Transferring team consultants
In the event of the termination of one consultant agreement, the consultants from the team are assigned to the next active upline consultant.

The consultants in the downline of the departing consultant are upgraded at the start of the fifth month after their departure. Commissions are compressed to the upline on the f irst day of the following month (as per the marketing plan).
7.4. Loss of a marketing director
If the consultant has not yet reached the status of a marketing director and another consultant they’ve sponsored reaches this status before them, the consultant must reach the position of marketing director within 4 months (from the date on which the other consultant qualif ied).

8. Discounts and commissions
Discounts and commissions are paid out as per the marketing plan stipulated in the current consultant manual for amounts above €30.00. Marketing directors must be active and qualif ied according to this plan. This means that commissions are only paid to consultants if 130 PSV (personal sales) points are achieved in the calendar month; marketing directors must achieve a further 1200 GSV (group sales) points in addition to 130 PSV points for commissions to be paid. If a di. erent downline is assigned to a marketing director, they receive commission if no third party is entitled to it. MAGNETIX has a retention right to the commissions until the rights of third parties have been f inally determined.

9. Advertising and sales support
The consultant gives MAGNETIX fundamental consent by signing this agreement to receive advertising and information by post and electronic means (email) without further request. If advertising is not desired, the consultant must inform consultant service of this so that their data can be removed from the distribution lists.

The list of all people (name, address, consultant revenues) that were introduced to the MAGNETIX business (team) is considered conf idential and may not be provided to other consultants or people. This obligation also applies after the end of the agreement. If and to the extent to which nothing further applies, the consultant is in particular not permitted to use customer data for their own purposes after the agreement has ended; this also applies with regard to the data of customers who they have themselves acquired. Infringements by other consultants against these T&Cs should be notif ied to MAGNETIX in order to ensure compliance with the company's principles.

12. Assignment, pledging, transfer
The assignment and pledging of the consultant's claims from this agreement are excluded and are ineffective in the relationship with MAGNETIX. The complete or partial transfer of claims from the consultant agreement to third parties requires the prior written consent of MAGNETIX.

14.3. The right to terminate the agreement due to an important reason remains una. ected. An important reason is in particular the non-provision of evidence of business registration/commercial register registration by the consultant, non-compliance or infringement of the principles and guidelines set out in the manual by the consultant after the issue of a reminder or the consultant enticing or attempting to entice their own or other consultants of MAGNETIX to join another company. An important reason also exists if the consultant incorrectly shows bonuses or is involved in collusion in the manipulation of agency commissions.
14.4. In the event of MAGNETIX ending the agreement, perfect stocks will be refunded at purchase prices. If the contractual relationship has lasted for more than 6 months, MAGNETIX will charge a processing fee of 10% of the purchase price. Return by the consultant must take place within 14 days of terminating the contractual relationship. The return of advertising materials, brochures, price lists, . yers, promotional items, products from special o. ers and product sets is excluded. The consultant can o. er goods still in his or her possession for resale to MAGNETIX under the following conditions: The goods must be in perfect condition, ready for resale, not older than two years and must still be part of the current MAGNETIX range as per the relevant current catalogue. The refund paid for the goods is 90% of the price paid by the consultant. The consultant bears the transport costs for the return. Earrings cannot be returned for hygienic reasons. This also applies to other products where the return is opposed for hygienic reasons.
14.5. In the event of extraordinary termination (14.3) return (14.4) is excluded.
14.6. In the event of the death of a MAGNETIX consultant, their heirs enter into the rights and duties of the contract existing between the consultant and MAGNETIX on suspension and acceptance of an appropriate legacy by the recipient of the legacy. In particular bonus/commission and other payments paid as part of the MAGNETIX marketing plan and to which the heir has a claim are to be paid out to the heirs / legacy recipients. The business of the deceased consultant can only be continued by one person (heir / legacy recipient). This person must complete a consultant application and fulf il the requirements in 2.3. If several people are heirs or legacy recipients, MAGNETIX can terminate the contract if within 8 weeks nobody has been appointed who will continue the agreement as an individual.
14.7. Before death the whole downline with all of the rights and duties from the consultant agreement can be transferred as stated in 12 or 13.

15. Retention of title
The goods remain the property of MAGNETIX until f inal payment of all current and future MAGNETIX receivables from the consultant agreement. The consultant is permitted to resell goods that are subject to retention of title in proper business transactions. The receivables arising from resale with third parties are assigned by the consultant to MAGNETIX as collateral. MAGNETIX accepts the assignment. The consultant and MAGNETIX remain entitled to collect the receivable, whereby MAGNETIX is obliged to not publish the assignment nor collect the receivable as long as the consultant complies with the payment obligations to it, is not in default of payment, has not made a request to start insolvency proceedings and there are no other defects in their ability to perform. If the value of the collateral exceeds the receivables of MAGNETIX by more than 10%, MAGNETIX will at the request of the consultant release the collateral of its choice.

16. Image rights
The images used in the publications may only be used exclusively in connection with the MAGNETIX consultant activity with the written agreement of MAGNETIX. Product images that can be viewed in the partner back o. ice can be used by the consultant on their MAGNETIX online shop page.
