Most network marketing applications have one or more boxes that you check right before finalizing your sign up as a distributor with the company. If you don’t check them, you can’t sign up.
Why are you being asked to check the boxes?
The boxes usually say something about you agreeing that you have done something. Checking the box is how you acknowledge that you agree.
The things you are agreeing to may be that you read your terms and conditions and agree to abide by them. Or it could be that they have multiple boxes. One for terms and conditions, another for policies and procedures and still another about the compensation plan.
I have found that most people check these boxes and continue with out even reading why they are checking them. If they do read the statement then almost no one looks at the document that the statement refers to so they have no idea what they are agreeing to do.
If you were to read the terms and conditions that your are agreeing to abide by then you would likely find a statement like this one.
I have carefully read and agree to comply with the [Company] Policies and Procedures and the [Company] Marketing and Compensation Plan, both of which are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms and Conditions.
So not only did you agree by checking the box that you had read the terms and conditions but those terms had the statement from above. I think it is pretty clear what they ask you to agree to do.
You have violated the contract with your new company’s contract on the day you signed up because you did not carefully read the documents. Did you?
And they tell you in your policies and procedures that if you violate any part of this contract that you can be terminated. So you just set yourself up for termination at any time in the future.

Hi Don,
Suppose somebody bought a house without first walking through it or reading the contract. They see an ad paper, liked how the looks, call the agent and tell him to sign them up.
If the agent had any integrity, he would insist the buyer visit the house and read the contract before making a decision. It’s better business for the longterm.
Mentoring For Free really helps people to slow right down and consider all things seriously before taking a wrong step.
People would do well to visit this blog site of yours first and so some research. And ask you questions. We thank you for the help you have given us in the past!
Regards.

Don …
I think most individuals get in trouble and end up joining less-than-stellar network marketing companies because of basic human nature. They get caught up in the moment, the excitement, the enthusiasm, the strong desire to create a paycheck from home … and the ever lovin hype.
Everyone may not agree with me, but I feel most people are trusting. They don’t read policies and procedures or compensation plans because they simply trust they won’t be taken advantage of or lied to or deceived.
MentoringForFree helps people to realize that a lot of network marketing companies DO NOT have their best interest at heart. In fact, some companies intentionally set people up for failure.
Thank you for encouraging folks to read and re-read everything before they get roped into any kind of contract.
