DEFINITIONS

The term ‘member’ encompasses individuals and businesses with a full membership (also known as Tri Nature Independent Consultants).

CODE OF ETHICS/CONDUCT
TRI NATURE PRODUCTS
  1. I will always present Tri Nature products honestly without making any false or excessive claims – making
    every effort to learn about Tri Nature products and their correct usage through the literature available, sponsors, and by attending meetings if held in my area.
  2. All products are packaged under strict quality control in specifically designed and approved containers. Repackaging/refilling of any product for the purpose of reselling that product is strictly prohibited. Tri Nature’s product guarantee and product liability protection will be void if products are repacked, relabelled, or any other form of modification.
TRI NATURE MEMBERSHIP
  1. I acknowledge that the rules and conditions of my membership are subject to compliance with the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law, any relevant state or local legislation, rules and regulations, and the DSAA Code of Practice.
  2. I will always promote the Tri Nature membership opportunity honestly and truthfully. I will not make inappropriate or exaggerated claims as to the financial rewards.
  3. I acknowledge that my acceptance as a member makes me an independent contractor, not an agent or employee of Tri Nature.
  4. I will endeavour to maintain a high professional and ethical standard at all times in dealing with Tri Nature, my fellow members, and consumers of Tri Nature products. No member shall do anything (whether or not in the course of their membership) which Nature determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, is or could be detrimental to the reputation or image of the Company, its products, Consultants, trademarks, trade names, or goodwill.
  5. A member may on-sell by retailing products purchased from Tri Nature. Tri Nature products can also be sold through retail outlets deemed appropriate by Tri Nature, where the registered Tri Nature member is the proprietor of the store and has the express permission of Tri Nature. The sale of Tri Nature products through unapproved retail outlets is strictly prohibited.
  6. While expanding organisations is a key strategy, member retention is crucial. Members should be encouraged to create a wide, long-term customer base, and service them to their best ability to ensure long-term business success.
  7. A member who sponsors another member is responsible for assisting their new member to learn about Tri Nature products and procedures, and for assisting them to grow their business.
  8. A new member may lack the experience to provide the best level of follow-up and service. Sharing the best business solutions with your new member will not only help benefit their business but in turn, will benefit yours as their upline.
  9. Tri Nature members will not at any time use a Tri Nature members list to procure members of Consultants for any
    other direct selling company, network marketing company, or multi-level marketing company, nor are they to pass a Tri
    Nature list onto any other persons or company to use as an addition to a database mailing list or used in recruiting members or Consultants for another company. Tri Nature member’s lists always remain the property of Tri Nature. Members dishonoring this agreement will have their membership agreement terminated immediately, forfeiting any outstanding monies owed to them at the time of termination.
  10. A member shall not approach a business in an attempt to retail products to them unless the member holds an Australian business number (ABN) and is registered for GST and therefore able to supply a tax invoice.

  2. Detailed information and a realistic view should be provided regarding product results. This will help ensure customers are not disappointed, as satisfied customers provide a positive influence and potential source of new customers and members.
  3. If a customer is dissatisfied with products or the service provided, the member must respond quickly and courteously to attempt to resolve the problem to the customer’s satisfaction. 30-day money-back guarantee honored if the customer is dissatisfied or has a reaction to the product, within 30 days of purchase.

If no such instructions are provided at the time the order is placed, specifying what is to be done with the goods if no one is at home, then the default option will apply. It is at the courier’s discretion to deem your delivery address as safe to leave your order. If you are not sure if someone will be home or are not sure of the security of the provided delivery instructions, we strongly suggest having your delivery sent to an alternate address.

The free freight will only cover the replacement products.
