Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and the aforementioned Recitals, POM/QAI and Member do hereby mutually bargain and agree as follows:

1. Relationship of the Parties

The Member shall be a self-employed independent contractor running his or her own insurance marketing business.

1. Authority of the Member

The Member is authorized by POM/QAI to solicit from the general public applications for life insurance, annuities, accident and health insurance, and any other financial products that may be provided by POM/QAI and its affiliated insurance companies for which the Member is properly licensed, appointed and coded under POM/QAI. The Member has no authority to, and cannot, bind POM/QAI or its affiliated insurance companies to any insurance policy or other financial instrument without the written consent of POM/QAI and/or its affiliated insurance companies. The Member is authorized to solicit non-Members to become new Members of POM/QAI and to become technology services licensees of POM. The Member shall be able to sponsor any such non-Members for licensing and/or appointment with POM/QAI and its product providers. The Member shall have no authority to make any representations to non-Members on behalf of POM/QAI concerning reimbursement of insurance licensing expenses or any other terms or conditions related to Members except as may be expressly permitted under POM/QAI’s Compliance Manual. All new Members must certify that they currently meet, or shall meet within 90 days of joining POM/QAI, the requirements and qualifications necessary to become a Member of POM/QAI and/or licensee of POM under the terms of this Agreement, including obtaining all necessary licenses and appointments. In order to become Members of POM and QAI, all recruits must execute this Agreement and pay the one-time POM technology fee online at https://peaceofmind.space or https://pom365.com (Again, currently the one-time fee is waived, so the Member will get free membership to utilize the POM’s technology services.

Once accepted as a Member by POM/QAI, the recruit shall become a Member in the downline of the Member who recruited him and become a licensee of POM.

1. Compensation of Member

The Member’s compensation shall be determined by his contract level authorization submitted to POM/QAI by the Member’s upline recruiting Member. The Member’s compensation shall be computed in accord with POM/QAI’s current Member Promotion Guidelines which are published on POM/QAI’s website: https://pom365.com . POM/QAI will pay commissions as LOA to the Member semi-monthly computed on the Member’s contract level percentage times the net paid target or effective street level commissions received by POM/QAI during the previous semimonthly pay period. The Member will become entitled to override commissions for any Members that he or she recruits, trains, and supervises on an ongoing basis. Any such override commissions shall be computed and paid pursuant to the Member’s contract level. The Member hereby agrees that any debit for chargeback from the insurance company for business upon which the Member has been paid, or for which a Member’s downline Member has been paid, or any other obligation due from the Member to POM/QAI, may be offset against compensation due to the Member from POM/QAI. POM/QAI, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to prospectively change the company compensation plan without prior notice to or consent from its Members. Should the Member fail to transfer his or her license and appointments when notified that POM/QAI has changed its insurance company association, the Member will lose all rights to compensation due hereunder. Should the Member’s insurance license or appointment be terminated or suspended for cause, POM/QAI shall not pay any compensation to the Member until said Member is re-licensed, re-appointed, or taken off suspension by the appropriate licensing authority, insurance company, or POM/QAI.

1. Advances to Member

Commissions would normally be paid as earned. POM/QAI will pay commissions to the Member’s contract level as set forth under Paragraph IV above. Any commissions paid to Member by POM/QAI shall become debts owed to POM/QAI by the Member which debts Member agrees to repay should the policies cancel or lapse within the first 12 months after issuance; or, to the extent that POM/QAI is charged back any commissions from the insurance companies. Should the Member’s downline Members have chargebacks for the commission paid to the Member’s downline Members, to the extent that any such chargebacks are not promptly re-paid by said downline Members on demand, then any such unpaid downline Member’s debits for commissions shall be rolled up to the Member, who shall be responsible for repayment. The Member hereby grants POM/QAI a lien on his or her unpaid commissions for new business and/or renewals and acknowledges that POM/QAI may apply any such commissions or renewals it receives to repay unpaid debits made to Members or the Member’s downline Members. The Member agrees that he or she personally guarantees repayment of any unearned commissions paid to the Member or his downline Members. POM/QAI, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to change the company advance payment policy without prior notice to or consent from its Members.

VII. Member’s Bill of Rights

The Member may not be terminated by POM/QAI except For Cause as defined hereunder.

VIII. Duties of POM and QAI

XII. Resolution of Disputes/Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

All disputes, claims, demands, causes of action, or controversies between Member on the one hand, and POM/QAI, its or their officers, directors, employees, members, or Members on the other, relating to POM or QAI, its or their products, this Agreement, the rights and obligations of Member, or any other claims or causes of action relating to the business of POM/QAI, will be resolved in a binding, confidential, individual, and fair arbitration process, and not in court. This agreement to arbitrate applies to all disputes regardless of whether the dispute is based on contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other legal or equitable theory). Member understands that there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The only exceptions to this are that (i) each party retains the right to sue for damages in small claims court if the limited jurisdiction of such court is satisfied and, if no party must engage legal counsel to represent it; (ii) each party may bring suit in court against the other to enjoin infringement or other misuses of intellectual property rights; and (iii) POM/QAI may apply to and obtain from any court having competent jurisdiction a writ of attachment, garnishment, temporary injunction, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, or other equitable relief available to safeguard and protect its or their interest prior to, during, or following the filing of any arbitration or other proceeding or pending the rendition of a decision or award in connection with any arbitration or other proceeding. Disputes over whether these exceptions apply shall be resolved by the court in which such action has been brought; all other disputes over arbitrability shall be resolved by the arbitrator.

Any arbitration falling within the above provision will be conducted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be conducted by a single AAA arbitrator who shall have experience in resolving disputes in the multi-level marketing and/or life insurance sales industries. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, that hearing will take place in Albany Wyoming. To begin an arbitration proceeding, the aggrieved claimant must file a Demand for Arbitration in accordance with the Rules and provide a copy of the Demand to the respondent. If a demand is made of POM or QAI, the Demand must be sent to POM/QAI’s current address published on POM/QAI’s website: https://pom365.com. The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing, it shall be final and binding on the parties, and it may, if necessary, be reduced to a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party to the arbitration shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses of arbitration, including legal and filing fees. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement.

Any arbitration proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action, regardless of whether the procedures or rules of AAA would allow such an action. Under no circumstances shall an arbitration proceed on a class basis without POM/QAI’s and POM’s express consent. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the arbitrator may only award legal or equitable remedies that are requested by Member, POM/QAI to satisfy the claimant’s individual claims that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence. Further, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, members, POM/QAI expressly waive their rights to seek to bring, join or participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide arbitration, or any other action where another individual or entity acts in a representative capacity (i.e., private attorney general actions), or to seek relief on a class or representative basis as a plaintiff or class member.

If a dispute arises, Member, POM/QAI must commence arbitration of the dispute within two (2) years from when the dispute first arose. If applicable law requires Member, POM/QAI to bring a claim for the dispute sooner than two years after the dispute first arose, Member, POM/QAI must start arbitration within that earlier time period. The failure to timely commence an arbitration shall bar all claims.

Although POM/QAI may revise the terms and conditions governing the rights and duties of the Member at its discretion, POM/QAI does not have the right to alter this agreement to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with respect to the resolution of a dispute once that dispute has arisen.

If any provision of this binding individual arbitration agreement is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then Member, POM/QAI agree that the offending provision will be severed and the rest of the agreement shall remain in effect and be construed as if any severed provision had not been included. The sole exception is that if the class action waiver is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, Member, POM/QAI agrees that it will not be severable; instead, this entire binding individual arbitration agreement will be void and unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in court subject to the venue and choice of law clauses specified in this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall arbitration be conducted on a class basis without QAI’s and/or POM’s express consent.

XIII. Choice of Law/Venue in Albany Wyoming

This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. For any cause of action that Member or POM/QAI asserts not to be subject to the agreement to arbitrate disputes, other than suits in small claims court as provided in Paragraph XII above, such claims must be brought and litigated in the Superior Court of Albany County, Wyoming, or, if original or removal jurisdiction exists in federal court, in the United States District Court for Albany Wyoming. Member, POM, and QAI consent to jurisdiction and venue before such courts. The following miscellaneous provisions shall apply:

1. Modifications. POM and QAI shall not be bound by any promise, agreement, or understanding heretofore or hereafter made unless made in writing and signed by the President of POM/QAI expressly stating by its terms its intention to modify this agreement.
2. Indebtedness. Any indebtedness of Member to POM/QAI shall be considered a personal debt of the Member to POM/QAI payable upon demand without presentment. As security for any such indebtedness, POM/QAI shall have the first lien upon any compensation payable to the Member under this agreement and POM/QAI may deduct the same from any such compensation due to the Member.
3. No Waiver. The failure of POM/QAI to enforce any provision of the agreement or any policy, procedure, rule, or regulation that it may promulgate, shall not constitute a waiver thereof.
4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any exhibits as may have been referenced herein, together with the policies, procedures, and rules of POM and QAI, if any, as may be promulgated from time to time on the POM website at https://peaceofmind.space or https://pom365.com, supersedes all prior agreements between POM/QAI and the Member and supersedes all negotiations and communications prior to the signing and acceptance hereof.
5. Construction. Should any part of this agreement be deemed, held, or ruled to be invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement shall remain in full force and be enforceable by its terms without the stricken portions.
6. Offer and Acceptance. This Agreement shall be executed electronically by Member via POM/QAI’s and POM’s online website at https://peaceofmind.space or https://pom365.com. When executed and electronically submitted by Member to POM/QAI, this Agreement will constitute an offer by Member to become a Member with POM/QAI and a member of POM as per the terms and conditions herein above stated. Said offer shall be deemed accepted by POM and QAI unless: (1) Member withdraws this offer in writing and delivers said withdrawal notice prior to receiving his password and using it to log in to POM/QAI’s and/or POM’s email or website; or, (2) Member cancels his electronic payment authorization of the POM technology fee with his credit card provider; or, (3) POM/QAI notifies Member of its rejection of his offer to join POM/QAI within Ten (10) Days of Member’s acceptance date.
7. Right to Rescind. Member may for any reason rescind this offer to join POM and QAI by providing written notice of said rescission via email to contracting@pom365.com within Ten (10) days of his acceptance date indicated herein.
8. Right to Refund. Currently, the one-time fee is waived, so no refund is needed.
9. Valuable Assets of POM/QAI. The Member understands and acknowledges that POM/QAI has developed, through the expenditure of considerable sums of monies, and owns, the following valuable, special, and unique assets: i) a competent network of contractually affiliated sales monies, and/or representatives, which representatives are located throughout the United States, and certain of its Territories, but are and have been organized and trained, with the result that POM/QAI is a highly effective marketing organization; ii) a lasting and sophisticated relationship with the Product Providers, and iii) the Customers particularly insofar as POM/QAI receives its primary compensation from sales of Products and Services to such Customers. The Member understands and acknowledges that the commissions the Member earns from the sale of Products and Services constitute, in part, compensation for producing the property rights of POM/QAI in its network of contractually affiliated sales Members/ representatives and in the Products and Services sold by the Member or his/her Downline Member and for the Member’s agreement herein not to violate or interfere with such property rights and not to breach the covenants set forth below.
10. Customer Non-Replacement. Absent the issue of the then-current suitability of the product for the Customer, the Member covenants that he/she will not, at any time during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, directly or indirectly, individually or in concert with another, induce or attempt to induce any Customer to terminate, reduce coverage under or replace any of the Products and Services which have been sold by the Member or his/her Downline Member. the term “Customer” shall be limited during the two (2) year period after the Termination to those Customers i) to whom the Member or his/her Downline Members sold Products and Services and iii) who reside, at the time of the inducement or attempted inducement, in the geographical area within fifty (50) miles of the location Member office(s) during the eighteen (18) month period preceding Termination of this Agreement. The Member understands and acknowledges that this is a non-replacement covenant. For purposes of this Agreement, the Member’s office shall mean that office or offices from which the Member during the eighteen (18) month period preceding Termination of the Agreement, conducted his/her business operations as a Member of POM/QAI. The Member agrees and acknowledges that a breach of the Member’s promise in this Section would constitute wrongful interference with the contractual rights of POM/QAI.
11. Member Non-Recruitment. The Member covenants that he/she will not, at any time during the term of this Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, directly or indirectly: i) induce or attempt to induce any person who is contractually affiliated with POM/QAI as a Member or in other capacities, or any member of POM/QAI’s administrative staff, to terminate their relationship with POM/QAI; or ii) hire, induce or attempt to hire or induce any such persons to sell or solicit products and services which are competitive with the Products and Services for any person or entity other than POM/QAI. The Member’s covenants in the preceding sentence are limited and only apply with respect to any person that resided in or engaged in business activities in the geographic area within fifty (50) miles of the location of the Member’s office(s) during the eighteen (18) month period preceding Termination of this Agreement. The Member acknowledges that any violation of this Section by the Member with respect to any member of POM/QAI’s network of contractually affiliated sales Member/representatives constitutes wrongful interference with POM/QAI’s contractual relationship with such persons and with POM/QAI’s and the Product Providers’ administrative staffs.
12. Non-Disclosure Covenant. The Member will not use, disseminate or reveal, other than on behalf of POM/QAI as authorized by POM/QAI or the Product Providers, while this Agreement is in force, or within two (2) years after Termination of this Agreement, any confidential information or trade secrets of POM/QAI or of the Product Providers, which the Member has or hereafter receives, including any Customer or list of POM/QAI Member, whether obtained from POM/QAI or any other person or compiled by or on behalf of the Member; provided, however, that confidential information does not include information which becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Member or any member of POM/QAI’s network of contractually affiliated sales Members. The Member agrees that immediately upon the Termination of this Agreement he/ she will return all documents, files, and lists containing any confidential information or trade secrets to POM/QAI, and the same shall not be copied or duplicated. For purposes of this Agreement the term “confidential information” means any and all confidential and proprietary data and information created by or belonging to POM/QAI which has value to and are not generally known by the competitors or potential competitors of POM/QAI now or hereafter acquired or disclosed to the Member.
13. Non-Solicitation. The Member shall not, at any time during the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, individually or in concert with another, solicit or attempt to solicit, induce or attempt to induce any member of POM/QAI’s network of contractually affiliated sales Members/ representatives to purchase any products and services other than the Products and Services.
14. Covenants of Other Members and Harm to POM/QAI. The Member acknowledges that all members of POM/QAI’s network of contractually affiliated sales Members/representatives have executed agreements with POM/QAI containing covenants identical or similar to the Covenants and that any act by the Member to induce or attempt to induce any member to breach any portion of his/her agreement with POM/QAI would constitute wrongful interference with the contractual rights of POM/QAI with such member. The Member acknowledges that POM/QAI would suffer extremely costly and irreparable harm, loss, and damage if, during the term of the Covenants, the Member should violate any of said Covenants.
15. Equitable Relief. The Member acknowledges and agrees that in the event that he/she were to violate or threaten to violate any of the Covenants, POM/QAI’s recovery of damages would be inadequate to protect POM/QAI. Accordingly, the Member agrees that, in the event of a violation, actual or threatened, of any such Covenants, POM/QAI shall be entitled to injunctive relief and specific performance, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary. The Member acknowledges and agrees that injunctive relief and specific performance are appropriate and necessary in the event of a violation, actual or threatened, of such covenants because there may be no adequate remedy at law for violation of any of such Covenants in that, among other reasons, the property rights of POM/QAI which are protected by such covenants are unique assets which cannot be readily replaced in any reasonable period of time or in any other way adequately protected.
16. Reasonableness and Severability. The Member acknowledges that the Covenants do not restrict the geographic areas in which the Member may have Downline Members and in which the Member or such Downline Members may solicit for the sale of Products and Services and that members of POM/QAI’s network of contractually affiliated sales Members/representatives frequently share offices with and have access to Customer information of other members, whether or not in the Member’s hierarchy. Accordingly, the Member acknowledges and agrees that the Covenants would be reasonable even with a much broader geographical limitation. The Member understands that these Covenants constitute consideration for all post-termination accrual or payment of any commissions, including Override Compensation. The Member agrees that the Covenants are reasonable as to the Member and necessary to protect the interest of POM/QAI and that POM/QAI would not Member with the Member unless he/she entered into these Covenants. The Covenants and the acknowledgments and agreements contained in this Section are severable and separate, and should a court determine any covenant or portion thereof to be unenforceable, it shall not affect the validity of any other paragraph of this Agreement or portion thereof. The existence of any other claim or cause of action of the Member, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to these Covenants or the acknowledgments.
17. Collateral Consequences. In addition to the rights POM/QAI has to enforce the Covenants, the Member agrees and understands that in the event of any breach by him/her of any of the Covenants or the provisions of this Section, whether during the term of or after the Termination of this Agreement, no further commissions shall accrue or be payable to Member by POM/QAI, or shall be accrued or paid to reduce any Debit Balance, and any Debit Balance shall thereafter be immediately due and payable by the Member. Compliance with each of the Covenants is an express condition for the accrual, earning, or payment of any commissions and Override Compensation by POM/QAI and the parties do not intend for any payment provisions under this Agreement to be enforceable by the Member independent of his/her observance of these Covenants.

Member acknowledges that he or she has read and understood this Agreement in full and has been advised and afforded the opportunity to seek legal counsel and/or have this Agreement translated to his or her native language before signing.

1. I have read the contract and agree to all provisions.
2. I agree to comply with the Compliance Guidelines of POM/QAI, including but not limited to the following:
3. I will not solicit sales of insurance policies or securities, directly or indirectly, and I will not supervise agents, unless and until I am fully and properly licensed and appointed.
4. I will not represent to a customer, or train other agents to represent to a customer, that an index life insurance policy or indexed annuity is a mutual fund.
5. Upon approval from POM/QAI, I will obtain copies of the applicable life insurance and/or annuity replacement procedures and forms, if any, required under the insurance laws of the state(s) in which I have an insurance agent license. I will review them and will comply with them. I will also truthfully and fully complete the information called for on a life insurance or annuity application and the agent’s statement regarding replacements. I understand that under state insurance laws, “replacement” generally may include the purchase of a new policy where it is known or should be known to the proposing agent that, by reason of the new policy, an existing policy has been or is to be lapsed, forfeited, surrendered, terminated, reduced, or borrowed against.
6. I will promptly deliver all policies and promptly remit all premiums.
7. I will not use or provide any policy illustrations except those expressly authorized by the applicable life insurance company, POM and QAI. I understand that illustrations of a life insurance policy are based on hypothetical rates, and do not represent past or future investment results. I agree I will not use or represent such policy illustrations except as authorized by the life insurance company, POM and QAI.
8. I understand that I must complete QAI, POM, and insurance companies’ required course(s), including “Anti-Money Laundering”, either prior to obtaining a provider company appointment or within 120 days upon submitting paperwork to a product provider requesting an appointment.
