INDIA PRE-MARKETING GUIDELINES

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. has seen remarkable success and growth as we’ve expanded into new markets throughout the world. However, market openings can bring many important challenges. We must meet these challenges as a cohesive team to ensure our long-term international success. One such challenge we face, is inappropriate pre-market activity in Unopened Markets.*


When Independent Brand Affiliates (Affiliates) engage in inappropriate pre-market activities in Unopened Markets, the future of Nu Skin operations in that market can be jeopardized. Therefore, Affiliates should review
Chapter 4/Section 3 of the Policies and Procedures before participating in any type of pre-market activity.


At this time, Nu Skin asks for your cooperation in avoiding inappropriate pre-market activity in India. While Nu Skin is very excited about this market, please remember that any violation of the company’s International Business policies can place the company and your account at risk. Specifically, Affiliates who violate pre-market policies risk their ability to participate and receive commissions in the new market.


Nu Skin thanks you for your continued leadership and support.
