The Disclosure Issue
Most of the states are fairly explicit in the sorts of disclosures that must be made to a consumer at the time he or she subscribes to a discount buying service. California appears to have adopted the most comprehensive disclosure requirements of any of the states. There, a seller of a discount buying service must provide a buyer with several written disclosures, some of which are:
1. The exact nature of the services it provides, specifying the general categories of goods which are available at the seller's place of business or warehouse, those goods which must be obtained through third parties to which the seller will refer the customer, and those categories of goods which must be ordered or obtained through the mail.
2. A list, current within the previous 60 days, of at least 100 items which are sold by or through the organization or available to those who contract with the organization, identified by brand name, model, and total price, including a reasonable estimate of freight or delivery charges.
3. A statement of the discount buying organization's policy with respect to warranties or guarantees on goods ordered, and the policy with respect to the return of ordered goods, cancellation of orders by the buyer, and refunds for cancellation or return;
4. A disclosure as to whether any stockholder, director, officer, or other principal in the discount buying organization has been convicted of a crime relating to fraud or has been held liable in any civil action relating to fraud or misleading representations;
5. A disclosure as to whether any principal in the discount buying organization is the subject of any current injunction or restrictive order relating to business activity.
If you're interested in taking advantage of the network marketing opportunity, but marketing nutritional, home care, or personal care products is not for you, then consider marketing a service - namely a discount buying service. It may save you money; it may save your friends money; and you may earn some extra income to boot.
But whatever you do, be certain that you and the discount buying opportunity you represent follow the rules.
