BRAND AFFILIATE—- Any person authorized to sell Nu Skin’s Products, pursuant to a Brand Affiliate Agreement (BAA). All Product purchases are optional.
BRAND AFFILIATE AGREEMENT (BAA)—-A contract required to become a Brand Affiliate. After Nu Skin accepts the Brand Affiliate Agreement, an individual is classified as a Brand Affiliate and is able to Register customers and resell Product.
BRAND REPRESENTATIVE (BR)—An individual who has completed Qualification, as well as a generic term used to refer to all Brand Representatives and above, regardless of Title. To maintain Brand Representative status, you must complete at least 4 Building Blocks each calendar month (or use Flex Blocks to substitute for missing Building Blocks). If you fail to maintain your Brand Representative status, any Brand Representatives on your Team will be moved to the Team of your direct Brand Representative. You have the option to Restart for a limited time, and, if successful, you may regain the Brand Representatives that were on your Team, along with any Flex Blocks previously accrued. Please see the Additional Details – Restart, or contact your account manager for more information.
BUILDING BLOCK—A measurement of Sales Volume. A Building Block is only considered complete when it has 500 points of Sales Volume. A Building Block with less than 500 points of Sales Volume is referred to as incomplete
BUILDING BONUS (BB)—-All Brand Representatives are eligible to receive a Building Bonus on completed Building Blocks. Brand Representatives who complete 4 or more Building Blocks in a month (excluding Flex Blocks) are also eligible to receive a Building Bonus on any incomplete Building Block at the end of the month. The percentage paid on an incomplete Building Block is equivalent to the percentage paid on the last completed Building Block of the month. Incomplete Building Blocks are paid on the 8th of the following month. Brand Affiliates and Qualifying Brand Representatives are not eligible for Building Bonuses. No Building Bonus is paid on Flex Blocks. Building Bonus is calculated on the CSV of each individual Building Block. The percentage associated with a Building Block is only applicable to that specific Building Block and does not apply to any previous completed Building Blocks
COMMISSIONABLE SALES VALUE (CSV)—A currency value, associated with each Product, used to determine Building and Leading Bonuses. CSV for each Product may change from time to time. Contact your market or referring Brand Affiliate for Product-specific pricing, Sharing Bonus details, Commissionable Sales Value, and other sales compensation information.
FLEX BLOCK—A Building Block substitute that is automatically used to maintain your status as a Brand Representative if you do not complete 4 or more Building Blocks in a calendar month. In any month that you use a Flex Block, you will still be eligible for Building Bonuses on completed Building Blocks; however, you will not be eligible for any Leading Bonus. Flex Blocks do not provide Sales Volume, CSV, have no monetary value, and can’t ever be redeemed for cash—they are only used to help maintain Brand Representative status. A maximum of 3 Flex Blocks can be used each calendar month. There is no limit to the number of Flex Blocks that can be accumulated. Flex Blocks do not expire and are non-transferable. Any accumulated Flex Blocks will be forfeited if you fail to maintain your Brand Representative status. Check out Additional Details – Flex Blocks for more information.
GENERATION—A simple way to help you organize your Team. Every Brand Representative you directly lead is part of your 1st Generation (G1). Every Brand Representative your G1 Brand Representatives directly lead is part of your 2nd Generation (G2), and so forth.
GROUP—– Your Group consists of you and all your Retail Customers, Members, Brand Affiliates, and Qualifying Brand Representatives. Your Brand Representatives and their Groups are not included in your Group. All sales made by those in your Group contribute to your Building Blocks and your Group’s Commissionable Sales Value.

RETAILING BONUS (RB)—Is the difference between the price paid by your Retail Customers (excluding shipping costs and taxes) when they purchase Products directly from Nu Skin and the sum of the Member Price and any Retail Building Bonus. Contact your market or Brand Affiliate for specific Product pricing, applicable Retail Building Bonus details, and other information
SALES VOLUME—A point system Nu Skin uses to compare the relative value of Products across various currencies and markets. Each Product is assigned a specific amount of points of Sales Volume. Sharing Blocks, Building Blocks, and Leadership Team Sales Volume are all comprised of Sales Volume. Sales Volume is different from Commissionable Sales Value.
SHARING BLOCK (SB)—A subset of Building Blocks and consist of 500 points of Sales Volume that only come from purchases made by Retail Customers, Members, Brand Affiliates, and Qualifying Brand Representatives who you’ve Registered and Registered Retail Customers of your Registered Brand Affiliates and Qualifying Brand Representatives. Your personal purchases do not count towards Sharing Blocks. Sharing Blocks are only applicable to Qualification and are a subcategory of Building Blocks. Therefore, all Sharing Blocks are Building Blocks, but not all Building Blocks are Sharing Blocks. .
SHARING BONUS—Please see Share – Daily Pay for more details.
TEAM—Your Team consists of your Group and all Groups on which you are eligible to be paid a Leading Bonus.
TITLE—Refers to Members, Brand Affiliates, Qualifying Brand Representatives, and Brand Representative Titles.
