AFFILIATE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES GUIDE
SECTION 1 - CORPORATE MISSION
Our Vision
Social media and internet marketing strategies have completely changed the way that entrepre-
neurs are able to build, grow, and scale their businesses online.
Many entrepreneurs, however, struggle to successfully implement up-to-date strategies and
real-time internet marketing concepts that truly work. Our programs are specifically designed to
fill this void by providing high-quality, entrepreneurial training. Our trainings are presented by
expert professionals who actually practice and continually perfect what they teach. Additionally,
our trainings, which are constantly updated, will be uniquely presented to enhance learning, re-
tention, and success for our Customers.
We believe this new method of teaching will disrupt the internet marketing industry by empow-
ering entrepreneurs with the key knowledge necessary to take immediate action with a focus on
achieving goals for their businesses.
SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION
2.1 POLICIES AND COMPENSATION PROGRAM INCORPORATED INTO AFFILIATE
AGREEMENT
These Affiliate Policies and Procedures and the Compensation Program, in their present form,
and as amended by Tecademics LLC (hereafter “Tecademics” or the “Company”) from time to
time at its sole discretion, are incorporated into and form an integral part of the Tecademics Af-
filiate Agreement (the “Agreement”). It is the responsibility of each Affiliate to read, understand,
adhere to, and insure that he or she is aware of and operating under the most current version of
these Policies and Procedures. Currently, Tecademics has expanded policies applicable to Adver-
tising, Website Terms and Conditions, Spam, Intellectual Property and Privacy, which are incor-
porated by reference into this agreement. Throughout these Policies and Procedures, when the
term “Agreement” is used, it collectively refers to the Tecademics Affiliate Application and
Agreement, these Policies and Procedures, and the Tecademics Compensation Program. These
documents are also incorporated by reference into the Tecademics Affiliate Agreement (all in
their current form and as amended from time to time by Tecademics at its sole discretion).
2.2 CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT
Tecademics reserves the right to amend the Agreement and its prices at its sole discretion. By
executing the Affiliate Agreement, an Affiliate agrees to abide by all amendments or modifica-

12-15-2016
Tecademics Affiliate Terms and Conditions Page 2
tions that Tecademics elects to make. Amendments shall be effective immediately after publica-
tion of notice that the Agreement has been modified. Amendments shall not apply retroactively
to conduct that occurred prior to the effective date of the amendment. Notification of amend-
ments shall be published by one or more of the following methods: (1) posting on the Com-
pany’s official web site, (2) electronic mail (e-mail), (3) posting in Affiliates’ back-offices, (4) in-
clusion in Company periodicals, (5) inclusion in product orders, or (6) special mailings. The con-
tinuation of an Affiliate Tecademics opportunity, the acceptance of any benefits under the
Agreement or an Affiliate’s acceptance of bonuses or commissions constitutes acceptance of all
amendments.
2.3 POLICIES AND PROVISIONS SEVERABLE
If any provision of the Agreement, in its current form or as may be amended, is found to be inva-
lid or unenforceable for any reason, only the invalid portion(s) of the provision shall be severed
and the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The severed provi-
sion, or portion thereof, shall be reformed to reflect the purpose of the provision as closely as
possible.
2.3.1 Correcting Clerical Errors in this Policy Guide
For purposes of this Policy Guide, a clerical error is an unintentional mistake that does not
change the result or intent of the Policy. Some examples of clerical errors are:
 drafting errors, missing or incorrect words or numbers, misspellings;
 mathematical Tabulation errors, dates, grammatical errors, incorrect headings;
 illogical use of words or terms, or ambiguity inconsistent with earlier editions of this
Policy Guide.
When asking for an interpretation, a party must clearly identify the clerical error in question.
When a party requests a corrected initial or final interpretation, Compliance must either: 1)
send all parties a corrected text, or 2) deny the request, leaving the original text in effect. If
Compliance corrects an initial request, the correction will be published in the VO.
2.4 WAIVER
The Company never gives up its right to insist on compliance with the Agreement and with the
applicable laws governing the conduct of an opportunity. No failure of Tecademics to exercise
any right or power under the Agreement or to insist upon strict compliance by an Affiliate with
any obligation or provision of the Agreement, and no custom or practice of the parties at vari-
ance with the terms of the Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of Tecademics right to demand
exact compliance with the Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of an Affili-
ate against Tecademics shall not constitute a defense to Tecademics enforcement of any term or
provision of the Agreement.

SECTION 3 - BECOMING AN AFFILIATE
3.1 REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME AN AFFILIATE

To become a Tecademics Affiliate, each applicant must be at least 18 years of age and submit a
properly completed online Affiliate Application and Agreement to Tecademics.
Upon review of an application, Tecademics reserves the right to accept or reject any Affiliate Ap-
plication and Agreement for any reason or for no reason.
3.2 PRODUCT PURCHASES
Other than the payment of the ongoing monthly administrative virtual office fee, if any, no person
is required to purchase Tecademics products, services or sales aids, or to pay any charge or fee to
become or remain an Affiliate.
3.3 AFFILIATE BENEFITS
Once an Affiliate Application and Agreement has been accepted by Tecademics the benefits of
the Compensation Program and the Affiliate Agreement are available to the new Affiliates.
These benefits include the right to:
 Become Certified to market defined Tecademics products and services;
 Participate in the Tecademics Compensation Program (receive bonuses and commis-
sions, if eligible);
 Sponsor other individuals as Customers or Affiliates into the Tecademics opportunity
and thereby build a down-line and progress through the Tecademics Compensation Pro-
gram;
 Receive periodic Tecademics literature and other Tecademics communications;
 Participate in Tecademics-sponsored support, service, training, motivational, and recog-
nition functions, upon payment of appropriate charges, if applicable; and
 Participate in promotional and incentive contests and programs sponsored by Tecadem-
ics for its Affiliates.
3.4 TERM AND RENEWAL OF YOUR TECADEMICS OPPORTUNITY
The term of the Affiliate Agreement is month-to-month and is automatically renewed upon the
payment of the monthly Affiliate virtual office access fee, if any. Should an Affiliate fail to pay
his/her monthly fee, the Affiliate’s opportunity will be put on suspension and will not be eligible
for commissions or bonuses until all past-due Affiliate fees are paid. If the Affiliate fails to pay
his/her fee for a full month, the Affiliate’s Agreement shall be permanently terminated.
SECTION 4 - OPERATING A TECADEMICS OPPORTUNITY

12-15-2016
Tecademics Affiliate Terms and Conditions Page 4
4.1 ADHERENCE TO THE TECADEMICS COMPENSATION PROGRAM
Affiliates must adhere to all of the terms of the Tecademics Compensation Program as set forth
in official Tecademics literature. An Affiliate shall not offer the Tecademics opportunity through,
or in combination with, any other system, program, sales tools, or method of marketing other
than those specifically set forth in official Tecademics literature. Affiliates shall not require or
encourage other current or prospective Customers or Affiliates to execute any agreement or
contract other than official Tecademics agreements and contract forms in order to become a
Tecademics Affiliate. Similarly, Affiliates shall not require or encourage other current or prospec-
tive Customers or Affiliates to make any purchase from, or payment to, any individual or other
entity to participate in the Tecademics Compensation Program other than those purchases or
payments identified as recommended or required in official Tecademics literature.
At the end of each year, Tecademics will conduct a thorough review of Compensation Program
and its effectiveness with regard to Tecademics’ business practices. Following the review, Tec-
ademics reserves the right to make any and all changes necessary to bring the Compensation
Program in line with its current business practices.
4.2 ADVERTISING
4.2.1 General
All Affiliates shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of Tecademics and its products.
The marketing and promotion of Tecademics, the Tecademics opportunity, the Compensation
Program, and Tecademics products must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethi-
cal, or immoral conduct or practices.
To promote both the products and services, and the tremendous opportunity Tecademics offers,
Affiliates should use the sales aids, opportunity tools, and support materials produced by Tec-
ademics. The Company has carefully designed its products, product labels, Compensation Pro-
gram, and promotional materials to ensure that they are promoted in a fair and truthful man-
ner, that they are substantiated, and the materials comply with the legal requirements of fed-
eral and state laws.
Affiliates may not sell sales aids to other Tecademics Affiliates. Therefore, Affiliates who receive
authorization from Tecademics to produce their own sales aids may not sell such material to any
other Tecademics Affiliates. Affiliates may make approved material available to other Affiliates
free of charge if they wish, but may not charge other Tecademics Affiliates for the material.
4.2.2 Trademarks and Copyrights / Intellectual Property
The name of Tecademics and other names as may be adopted by Tecademics are proprietary
trade names, trademarks, and service marks of Tecademics (collectively “marks”). As such, these

12-15-2016
Tecademics Affiliate Terms and Conditions Page 5
marks are of great value to Tecademics and are supplied to Affiliates for their use only in an ex-
pressly authorized manner. Tecademics will only allow the use of its marks, designs, or symbols,
or any derivatives thereof, solely for use by an Affiliate in the furtherance or operation of his or
her Tecademics opportunity. Tecademics will not allow the use of its marks, designs, or symbols,
or any derivatives thereof, by any person, including Tecademics Affiliates, in any manner with-
out its prior, written permission.
The content of all Company sponsored events is copyrighted material. Affiliates may not pro-
duce for sale or distribution any recorded Company events and speeches without written per-
mission from Tecademics, nor may Affiliates reproduce for sale or for personal use any record-
ing of Company-produced audio or video tape presentations.
Affiliates may not use the term Tecademics in its entirety in any form in their team name, a Ta-
gline, an external website name, a personal website address or extension, in an e-mail address,
as a personal name, or as a nickname. Additionally, only use the phrase Tecademics Independent
Affiliate in your phone greeting or on your answering machine to clearly separate your inde-
pendent Tecademics opportunity from Tecademics. For example, you may not secure the do-
main name wwwTecademicsmypro.com, nor may you create an email address such as Tecadem-
[email protected].
4.2.3 Independent Tecademics Affiliate Logo
If you use a Tecademics logo in any communication, you must use the Affiliate version of the
Tecademics logo. Using any other Tecademics logo requires written corporate approval.
4.2.4 Media and Media Inquiries
Affiliates must not attempt to respond to media inquiries regarding Tecademics, its products or
services, or their independent Tecademics opportunity. All inquiries by any type of media must
be immediately referred to Tecademics Marketing Department. This policy is designed to assure
that Tecademics provides accurate and consistent information to the public as well as maintain-
ing a proper public image.
4.2.5 Unsolicited Email-SPAM
Tecademics does not permit Affiliates to send unsolicited commercial emails unless such emails
strictly comply with applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the federal
CAN SPAM Act. Any email sent by an Affiliate that promotes Tecademics, the Tecademics oppor-
tunity, or Tecademics products and services must comply with the following:
 There must be a functioning return email address to the sender.
 There must be either 1) a notice in the email that advises the recipient that he or she
may reply to the email, via the functioning return email address, to request that future

12-15-2016
Tecademics Affiliate Terms and Conditions Page 6
email solicitations or correspondence not be sent to him or her (a functioning “opt-out”
notice); or 2) a functioning unsubscribe link.
 The email must include the Affiliate’s physical mailing address.
 The email must clearly and conspicuously disclose that the message is an advertisement
or solicitation.
 The use of deceptive subject lines or false header information is prohibited.
 All opt-out requests, whether received by email or regular mail, must be honored.
Tecademics may periodically, at its sole discretion and without formal notice to Affiliates, send
commercial emails on behalf of Affiliates. By entering into the Affiliate Agreement, Affiliate
agrees that the Company may send such emails and that the Affiliate’s physical and email ad-
dresses will be included in such emails as outlined above. Affiliates shall honor opt-out requests
generated as a result of such emails sent by the Company. Additional information can be found
in the Virtual Office under the tab “Corporate Documents.”
4.2.6 Unsolicited Faxes
Except as provided in this section, Affiliates may not use or transmit unsolicited faxes in connec-
tion with their Tecademics opportunity. The term "unsolicited faxes" means the transmission via
telephone facsimile or computer of any material or information advertising or promoting Tec-
ademics, its products, its Compensation Program or any other aspect of the company which is
transmitted to any person, except that these terms do not include a fax: (a) to any person with
that person's prior express invitation or permission; or (b) to any person with whom the Affiliate
has an established opportunity or personal relationship. The term "established opportunity or
personal relationship" means a prior or existing relationship formed by a voluntary two-way
communication between an Affiliate and a person on the basis of: (a) an inquiry, application,
purchase or transaction by the person regarding products offered by such Affiliates; or (b) a per-
sonal or familial relationship, which relationship has not been previously terminated by either
party.
4.2.7 Telephone Directory Listings
Affiliates may list themselves as an “Affiliate” in the white or yellow pages of the telephone di-
rectory, or with online directories, under their own name. No Affiliate may place telephone or
online directory display ads using Tecademics’ name or logo, except as described below. Affili-
ates may not answer the telephone by saying “Tecademics”, “Tecademics Incorporated”, or in
any other manner that would lead the caller to believe that he or she has reached the corporate
offices of Tecademics. If an Affiliate wishes to post his/her name in a telephone or online direc-
tory, it must be listed in the following format:
Affiliate’s Name
Tecademics LLC
Independent Consultant

4.3 ONLINE CONDUCT

orders, enroll new Affiliates, and manage their Tecademics opportunity. Affiliates may not cre-
ate their own websites to promote their Tecademics opportunity or sell Tecademics products.
4.3.2 Tecademics Replicated Websites
Affiliates may receive a Tecademics Replicated Website subscription to facilitate the online buy-
ing experience for their Customers and enrollments for Affiliate prospects.
Affiliates may not alter the branding, artwork, look, or feel of their Replicated Website, except
as specifically allowed by Tecademics and may not use their Replicated Website to promote,
market or sell non-Tecademics products, services, or business opportunities. Except as specifi-
cally allowed by Tecademics, you may not alter the look (placement, sizing etc.) or functionality
of the following:
 The Tecademics Affiliate Logo
 Your Name
 Tecademics Corporate Website Redirect Button
 Artwork, logos, or graphics
 Original text
Because Replicated Websites reside on the Tecademics.com domain, Tecademics reserves the
right to receive analytics and information regarding the usage of your website.
By default, your Tecademics Replicated Website URL is assigned a uniquely identifiable website
name, which cannot:
 Be confused with other portions of the Tecademics corporate website;
 Confuse a reasonable person into thinking they have landed on a Tecademics corporate
page; or

could cause confusion, or be misleading or deceptive, in that they may cause individuals to be-
lieve or assume the communication is from or is the property of Tecademics.
4.3.5 Online Classifieds
You may not use online classifieds (including Craigslist) to list, sell, or retail specific Tecademics
products or product bundles. You may use online classifieds (including Craigslist) for prospect-

vided Tecademics-approved templates/images are used. These templates will identify you as an
Independent Tecademics Affiliate. If a link or URL is provided, it must link to your Replicated
Website or your Registered External Website.
4.3.6 Banner Advertising
You may place banner advertisements on a website provided you use Tecademics-approved
templates and images. All banner advertisements must link to your Replicated Website. Affili-
ates may not use blind ads (ads that do not disclose the identity of the Company) or web pages
that make product or income claims that are ultimately associated with Tecademics products or
the Tecademics opportunity.
4.3.7 Spam Linking
Spam linking is defined as multiple consecutive submissions of the same or similar content into
blogs, wikis, guest books, websites or other publicly accessible online discussion boards or fo-
rums and is not allowed. This includes blog spamming, blog comment spamming, and spam-dex-
ing. Any comments you make on blogs, forums, guest books, etc., must be unique, informative

they develop and create so long as it aligns with Tecademics’ values, contributes to the Tec-
ademics community greater good, and is in compliance with Tecademics’ Policies and Proce-
dures. All submissions must clearly identify you as an Independent Tecademics Affiliate in the
content itself and in the content description tag, must comply with all copyright/legal require-
ments, and must state that you are solely responsible for the content. Affiliates may not upload,

Tecademics without prior written permission.

Sponsored links or pay-per-click (PPC) ads are acceptable. The destination URL must be to either
the sponsoring Affiliate’s Replicated Website or to the sponsoring Affiliate’s Registered External
Website. The display URL must also be to either the sponsoring Affiliate’s Replicated Website or

ing in any way.

filiates may not use or attempt to register any of Tecademics’ trade names, trademarks, service

an Affiliate utilize any form of social media, including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter,

ity, a social media site must link only to the Affiliate’s Tecademics Replicated Website.

cial media site does not allow its site to be used for commercial activity, you must abide
by the site’s terms of use.
 Any social media site that is directly or indirectly operated or controlled by an Affiliate
that is used to discuss or promote Tecademics’ products or the Tecademics opportunity
