GAMES TO PLAY DURING THE PARTY
Not sure how to break the ice at a home Party? Here are some fun ideas for games to play with your Guests. It will
help you get started and keep the fun going. Done correctly, Party Games can be very beneficial to the success of
your Party! The truth is, the more FUN people have at your Home Show, and the more likely they are to want to do
it again! Playing just a game or two will get people laughing, having fun, and leave the memory of a fun, relaxed
shopping experience with their friends that they will want to do again and again. Here are Ten Favorite Home Party
Games for you to try at your next GelMoment Party!
1. Just a Phone Call Away. At the beginning of your party, ask everyone to take out their cell phones and hold them
in their hand. You will have yours in your hand as well. Tell them this is the easiest game to win all night! *ha! *Ask
everyone to dial in your number – call it out to them number by number – and then when you say GO – everyone
hits call. Obviously, your phone will ring since they are all calling you – simply answer the phone to find the
“winner” on the line. Give her a little goodie for having the “fastest fingers in the room”! THEN – while everyone
still has their phone out, ask them to SAVE YOUR NUMBER with your first name and company – i.e. Amalia
GelMoment. Tell them that they have your number forever now, and if they ever need anything, you are JUST A
CALL AWAY – ask them to please put their phones on vibrate or silent not to disrupt the Party, and then begin with
your Party Presentation.
2. Drop the Shoe. This will get Guests talking to each other and about your products. As each Guest comes in, have
each Guest leave 1 shoe under their chair and put the other in the middle of the room. After everyone has arrived
tell them to pick a shoe from the middle (not their own) and find the pair. Once they find it, have them find out
what their favorite GelMoment product is and 1 reason why they should book a Party. Once they have done
conversing, go around the room and have each person introduce their “shoe friend”. It will sound like this “This is
Suzy’s Shoe, her favorite item is ______, and she should book a Party because________.
3. Recruiting Rhyme. If any selling you have done before, put down 10 to start your score. If you have a car and can
drive, the thing to do is just add 5. If some extra money is what you would like, add 10 more which is just about
right. A little spare time will add to your score, for this you may add 15 more. If you like people and think they are
grand, add 6 more and see where you stand. Add 10 points if you think Parties are fun, and when you add this you
are almost done. If you score the highest, it is plain to see a GelMoment Distributor is what you should be. Add 10
more if you want to be a GelMoment Distributor, like me!
4. Alphabet Game. Write each letter of the alphabet on a 3×5 index card. Hold each card up like a “flash card” and
give it to the person who yells out a word having to do with your business (product, opportunity, etc.) that starts
with the letter you held up! The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins! (I also give a gift to the
person with the least)
5. Crossed Out. As your Guests arrive, give out a few small gifts. (For example, you can give every 4th person a gift
(or give out the gifts however you choose). As soon as everyone is sitting, tell the group about the “no crossing”
rule. If a person holding a gift is caught crossing her legs, then she must relinquish her gift to the person who
catches her crossing her legs. This game should be played for the first half of the Party. At the halftime, everyone
52
who has a gift gets to open it. (If a person who already has a gift catches someone with a gift crossing her legs, she
can either trade gifts with that person, or choose a person who is “gift less” to give the extra gift to).
6. Thread Intro. Pass a spool of thread around to your Guests and tell them to take as much as they want. Tell them
you want to get to know them a little. Tell each Guest to talk about themselves as they wrap the thread around
their forefinger. When they reach the end, they can stop. Start with your Hostess. Go around the room until
everyone is introduced.
7. Pass the Prize. Have a wrapped prize ready for this fun game. Hand 1 person the gift and have them follow the
instructions as you read them. The person who is holding the prize at the end is the winner! (Similar to the Left
Right Game) “You thought all the gifts were meant for you. But I have other items too. So, hold up this gift and look
around, and give it to the one with eyes of brown. You think you are the lucky one, but let us all share in the fun!
Look around with eyes discreet, and give it to the one with the smallest feet. Your feet are tiny and very small. Now
hand it to someone very tall. Please, take your time and don’t be harried, give it to the one who is longest married.
You must be proud of your married life, now pass this on to the newest wife. If this parcel you are bereft, give it to
the one on your left. The largest earring I’m looking for now, if you’re wearing them, step up with a bow. Now to
the person with buttons– big or small, any kind, the most you can find gets the gift at this time. Now don’t get cross
and please don’t fight, but pass it to the lady third on the right. We should stop now, don’t you agree? The gift is
yours to open and see.”
8. Replace Your Husband. An ice breaker game to play at the beginning of the party. Have each Guest write down
an item in their house they need to repair or replace. Then have them list 5 simple reasons they want to get rid of
it. Now have them cross out the item and place their husbands name in that place. Go around the room and have
each person read aloud “I want to replace (husband’s name) because he…. (The five reasons). The funniest answers
win.
9. The Lei Game. This is a great game to play in the warm months or a themed party. As you reward your Party
Hostess with a gift for inviting you into her home, also adorn her with 3 lei’s. Announce to the crowds that during
your presentation if they want to book a Party yell out loud “I want to PARTY!” The Hostess will give her one of the
leis around her neck. Offer an incentive for the Hostess to get 3 bookings and she will also encourage her friends to
book a Party with you.
10. Party Bingo. Give each Guest a blank Bingo card and you should have a bag or box filled with cards that have
your demo products listed on each one. As you go through your presentation, have them randomly fill in the names
of items you show on their card. After you are done with your presentation, draw 4 cards from your bag or box and
call them out. For the 5th one say there are 2 free boxes, 1 for booking a Party today with me and 1 for becoming a
Distributor today, please fill those squares in. Continue to draw product cards till someone says BINGO.
COLLECTING CONTACT INFORMATION
Make sure to pass out Product Catalogs to all your Guests with a “YES” coupon attached in order to collect their
contact information so you can follow-up with them after the Party.
53
KEEP THE PARTY GOING – AFTER PARTY CUSTOMER CARE CALLS
The Party may be over, but the opportunity is not. Text, email and Facebook message your Guests the day after the
party so they can add more colors to their collection before you place your order. Encourage your Hostesses to do
the same. Be sure to send a Thank You card to your Hostess. Customer care calls after the Party has ended are
very important; they give you the opportunity to:
Express appreciation for their business.
Ensure that they are satisfied with their purchases.
Offer suggestions on how to complete their collection of products.
Inform Hostesses and Customers about upcoming specials or events you may have.
Invite Hostesses and Customers to explore the GelMoment Business opportunity.
Ask for referrals of friends or associates that would like your services.
WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL?
Chances are that you could not possibly seize every opportunity to sell or recruit in one night. There are always
more sales, more bookings and more Prospects that you could identify in a few hour event. There were also
customers that you did not meet because they placed outside orders prior to the event. Here are some
conversational tips when calling:
Always begin with introducing yourself and asking if they have time for you.
1. “Hello ______, my name is _____ and I am your GelMoment Distributor. Do you have a minute to chat?”
2. “I called to thank you for coming to ____’s Party. I was wondering if there was anything about Hosting or becoming
a Distributor that you did not get a chance to ask me.”
3. “I called to thank you for placing an order with _____ even though you couldn’t make it to the party. Do you have
any questions about GelMoment products that I can answer for you? Do you have any questions about hosting or
the business opportunity that you would like to ask me?”
4. “Hi! This is ____. Do you have a moment?” I am just checking to make sure you got your GelMoment products
from ____’s Party.”
PARTY REVIEW
Did you do everything possible to ensure the success of your Party? You and your Hostess are partners in success.
Every shortcut you take shortcuts the success of your Party.

SECTION 9 - HOSTESS COACHING
BOOK THE DATE AND PREP YOUR HOSTESS
A Party only happens if you book a date! Decide on a date with your Hostess and coach her on how to prepare for a
successful GelMoment Party. Coaching your Hostess is about building a relationship with her. She can become a
loyal customer, a repeat Hostess or a member of your team. Hostesses want to be successful and earn as much free
products as possible, so work with them to make it happen. Great Hostess coaching equals big sales, lots of
bookings, fewer postponements and cancellations. A happy Hostess is one who will positively and enthusiastically
spread the word about your business!
Try offering extra incentives to your Hostess for every Party that is booked at her Party and she will help you
encourage her friends to book!
HOW TO COACH YOUR HOSTESS
Tell your Hostess that you will work closely with her to make her Party a success and help her get the free stuff that
she has on her wish list. Ask her to make a list of what she would like and work with her to make it a reality. Keep
in-touch, set realistic and concrete expectations and inspire activity.
Once the Party is booked, provide your Hostess with Product Catalogs and order forms, so she can collect orders
from those who cannot attend. Leave her some information about the Business Opportunity and your Business
Cards, so she can pass them out to her friends. Tell her, “I want to help you have a successful Party. I will work
with you every step of the way.”
Help her write up her wish list, so she can get excited about the Free products she can earn.
Help your Hostess create her Guest List. Go through the different Social Circles with her. Tell her to write down at
least 40 names because only ¼ to 1/3 will be able to come.
Tell her to invite her Guests personally. This gives her the opportunity to encourage her Guests to bring a friend.
Many Guests are more comfortable arriving with a friend, especially if they don’t know anyone at the Party.
Ask her if you can personally call her Guests to introduce yourself, a day or two before the Party. If she agrees,
encourage her to advise her Guests to expect your call. Guests don’t come because they forget, so this will also
serve as a reminder call for them. When you meet them in person, you will already feel connected.
Encourage her to get outside orders from Guests that cannot attend, to ensure maximum sales.
Advise her of the payment methods you accept, so Guests can come prepared. This avoids lost sales.
COACHING CALLS
There are 3 calls you should make to your Hostess to keep her engaged and excited about her upcoming
GelMoment Party. Her enthusiasm will keep her commitment firm and lessen the chances of postponement or
cancellation.
CALL #1 - The day after you book her Party
Confirm that the day will work for her. If there is a conflict, reschedule immediately.
Find out how many names she has written down on her possible Guest list. Go through the social circles again and
help her maximize her list.
Tell her that you will be offering the Business Opportunity to her Guests but that you want to be sure and offer it to
her first. “Have you ever considered doing something like this?”

SECTION 11 - TRADE SHOWS AND VENDOR EVENTS
WHY DO TRADE SHOWS OR VENDOR EVENTS?
Events are an amazing way to grow your customer base and add new recruits to your team. A successful show or
event takes preparation, organization and dedication to make it successful. You will need to work before, during
and after the event. Events can be found through local religious groups, schools, businesses, online, in local
classifieds, newspapers etc.
FINDING EVENTS
Can’t find an event? Make your own! There is nothing more rewarding that creating something, watching it
materialize and declaring it a success. Here is one way you can go about creating your own event:
Approach a local school, religious organization, community center etc. and ask them if you can rent out space to
hold a bazaar or vendor event. They will charge you a fee either per table, hour or per day for the space rental.
Post an ad through your local paper, online classifieds or through social media vendor groups. Look for local
vendors who want to participate in your event by selling their products. Charge a reasonable fee to each vendor
who attends for their table rental and use that money to pay the space that you rented out. Voila! You now have
an event.
The next thing you need to do to make this event successful is, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE and ADVERTISE. Ask the
other vendors to pitch in and print as many flyers as you can. Post them on the adverting boards in your local
grocery stores, pharmacies, community centers, malls and on your community mailboxes. The more you advertise,
the more you increase your chances of attendance. Ask your local radio station to announce your event on the day
it’s taking place, most radio stations will do it without any hassle.
Ask each vendor to donate an item that they are selling and use those as door prizes for the attendees. This reduces
the out-of-pocket expenses for you. Advertise on your flyer that you are giving away prizes to increase attendance.
Everyone loves prizes!
ORGANIZING AN EVENT
These are only a few ideas and tips to help you get started when organizing or hosting events.
Book at least 1 vendor event per season, this will keep your contact list growing.
Google “craft fairs and festivals” to find local events.
Ask local religious groups, schools, community centers and hospitals for a list of events to increase your chances of
securing an event.
Ask Event Organizers to put you on the call-back list for the following year, it actually makes things easier for them
too.
Don’t attend events alone; team up with other Distributors on your team. If your table or booth gets busy and you
don’t have someone with you, you may miss out on potential customers or recruits.
Set up a table or booth that looks professional and esthetically appealing.
Dress professionally and look presentable. After all, you are working in the beauty industry.
Have plenty of Business Cards and professionally made pamphlets to hand out with your info on them.
Place a bowl of candy or lollipops on your table so that children will bring their moms over to you; works like a
charm.
67
Draw a prize to collect customer data for follow-up.
Follow up with everyone who enters the draw and ask them if they want to host a Party.
Talk to everyone who comes to your table about the Business Opportunity.
If you are organizing your own event, you may want to consider making it a Fundraiser. People love attending
when they know that their money is going to a charitable organization. You can invite extra vendors and use the
money you collect from their table rental to donate towards the cause that you choose to support. You may also
ask each vendor to donate a percentage of their sales towards the cause as well. Support a different cause at every
event and raise funds for organizations in your community.
BUILDING YOUR CONTACT LIST
When attending Trade Shows and Vendor Events, connect with the other vendors and exchange contact
information. They will be a great resource for you in finding other events. Ask them to contact you if they hear of
similar events and offer to do the same for them, this will help fill up your calendar. Vendors usually end up
purchasing products from each other; take this opportunity to talk to them about the GelMoment Business
Opportunity.
The next section of this Training Manual will give you lots of useful information in regards to Fundraising.

SECTION 12 - FUNDRAISING WITH YOUR GELMOMENT BUSINESS
WHAT IS A FUNDRAISER?
Fundraising is the process of gathering voluntary contributions of money or other resources by requesting
donations from individuals, businesses, charitable foundations, or governmental agencies. Traditionally, fundraising
consisted mostly of asking for donations on the street or at people's doors, and this is experiencing very strong
growth in the form of face-to-face fundraising. New methods of fundraising such as online fundraising have
emerged in recent years. No method is better than another, just find a cause that means something to you and
support it.
Fundraising is a fantastic way to use your GelMoment business to give back to your community and build your
customer base. The key to building a successful Direct Sales business is to be in contact with new people on a
regular basis. Fundraising will put you in front of people who may not be drawn to the idea of Direct Sales and
home based businesses. Use this opportunity to collect names by holding a draw and by following up on those
leads.
PLANNING YOUR FUNDRAISER
Be the Expert
You need to have a concrete plan in place on how you are going to handle your event every step of the way. When
meeting the organizer of an event, if you open with, “well, what do you want to do” it puts all the pressure on the
organizer. The key to a successful Fundraiser is making it as easy as possible for the organization. Understand their
goal. Meet the organizer and develop a clear plan on how you will help them achieve their goals. When
approaching a group about a Fundraiser, quantify the potential value for them. You could say something like….
“When we met, I understood that your goal is to buy new uniforms for your cheerleading squad and you mentioned
that it would require $1000 to achieve that. I have a plan to help you achieve your goal! Your group will receive 25%
of every dollar sold, so total sales need to be $4000. You have 20 girls on your team, so each girl needs to have sales
for $200. That’s the equivalent to a total of only 8 GelMoment polishes each!
Combine the hands-on and online sales to maximize your sales by providing a link to your event that people can
share on their Facebook pages. The online part reduces the need for volunteers and eliminates the issue of
handling money, bounced checks and customers can shop from the comfort of their homes.
The success of your Fundraiser will depend on how energetically you embrace it and market it. Set your goals,
advertise and follow-up with your leads.
This is YOUR BUSINESS so you choose how you would like to grow it. Use these useful tips to get started with your
own Fundraiser:
70
SOME WORTHY CAUSES TO SUPPORT
Find a worthy cause that you would like to support.
Awareness groups; cancer, autism, social, health
Charities
Religious groups
Schools / PTAs
Cheerleaders / gymnastics
Sports teams; boys and girls
Food Banks
Homeless programs; teens and adults
Find local charities to support in your area by searching online.
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU GIVE?
Know your plan! You are Fundraising to help an organization and to grow your customer base. The amount that
you donate is totally up to you, so give the highest limit that financially makes sense to you. Here are some
suggestions:
Donate all your profits (difference between wholesale/retail).
Choose a flat amount or a percentage of your earnings.
Factor in your costs; catalogs, travel, samples etc.
You may want to consider putting a cap on large Fundraisers or a minimum to protect smaller Fundraisers.
Your donation is a Tax Deduction.
TAX DEDUCTIONS
Consult a tax professional in your area and inform yourself on eligible tax benefits that you are entitled to. In most
cases:
Simply write a check payable to your cause.
You may be eligible to take a deduction on your personal taxes when writing a check to a non-profit organization.
This information may vary by location, please verify what you are eligible for in your city.
MAKE YOUR GELMOMENT PARTY A “FUNRAISER”
Support a cause for your Hostess. Donate the Party profits to a cause of their choice; they will want to maximize the
Party sales to support their cause and work hard to do so.
Set up a virtual Party by creating a Facebook group, for each member of a sports/cheerleading team and get them
to sell the products for you. All they have to do is add their friends to the group. Post all the information about your
products and the purpose of the Fundraiser and include your link for ordering or instructions on how you would like
orders to be collected and distributed. Donate all or part of the profits collected through these Parties to the
organization.
71
When working with a group of students, sports team members etc., acknowledge Top Sellers throughout the
Fundraiser; Motivate and capitalize on the competitive nature of the group or team.
Team up with Distributors in your area and support opposing sports teams or sports teams from two different
schools and bring on the challenge!
Ask the participants to set personal goals and encourage them to achieve these goals.
All the participants are potentially your future customers, Hostesses or team members, so collect their information
and follow-up to see if they are interested in your products or your Business Opportunity.

COMPENSATION PLAN FAQS
How does the GelMoment Compensation Plan work?
The Compensation Plan is based on monthly requirements. There are no annual requirements needed to earn
monthly commissions (other than paying your annual website maintenance and eWallet fees).
The first day of each month, everyone other than those at the “Gel Go” Level, will be reset back to Fashionista.
All Personal Retail Sales and purchases made throughout that month for Fashionistas and above, will be discounted
at 25% (paid through eWallet, one hour later).
On the last day of each month, your “Paid As” rank will be determined based on all the requirements achieved
during that month.
If you end the month with a higher Rank than Fashionista, you will receive the difference between the 25% and 50%
discount that you are entitled to, in one lump sum.
You will also receive commissions on your downline based on the “Paid As” rank that you achieved that month. See
the Monthly Rank Requirement Chart and Earnings Breakdown Charts for details. Charts and values vary by
country. All Australian values include GST. All UK values include VAT.
How are monthly volumes calculated?
Personal sales and purchases made through your website are based on Retail value. Team sales are based on
wholesale value. (Based on 70% of retail).
Is the Inactivity requirement amount in retail or wholesale value?
The inactivity requirement amount is based on Retail value.
Which month are commissions paid out for?
Commissions are paid for the current month. The payout on all residual income and bonuses is paid out once the
month is closed and your “Paid As” Rank is determined. The “Paid As” Rank is based on the requirements achieved
for that month. To be “Paid As” any rank, you must meet all the requirements; these include Personal Retail Sales,
Team Wholesale Sales and Branch Team Wholesale sales, when applicable. (See charts)
If my account is closed, what happens to my downline?
If your account is closed, then you lose your downline and everyone rolls up one level.
How long do I have to wait to sign up again, if my account is closed?
There is no waiting period to re-join as a Distributor.
80
Can I get my downline back if I sign up again?

Does the Enrollment Package count towards Personal Retail Sales or Team Sales?
No.
Are the Total Team Wholesale Sales required for each of my downline levels?
No. Total Team Wholesale Sales is the total amount of wholesale sales, generated by all of your eligible earning
levels combined.
What counts towards Personal Retail Sales?
All purchases and sales made through your website count towards Personal Retail Sales, with the exception of your
Gel Go Enrollment Package, Business Supplies and select Promotional items.
What is the difference between Team Wholesale Sales and Commissionable Team Wholesale Sales?
Team Wholesale Sales are used to determine your monthly “Paid As” Rank, whereas Commissionable Team
Wholesale Sales are used to calculate your residual income.
Example: LED Lamps are non-commissionable items. Although you do not earn residual income on them, they are
included in the amount of Team Wholesale Sales to determine your monthly “Paid As” Rank.

Can a different brand of LED or UV lamp be used to cure GelMoment Gel Polish?

may not last up to 14 days.

different brand of remover.

Professional 4-finger LED Lamp is 8Ws and cures our polish is 45 seconds.
Does the GelMoment LED lamp come with replacement bulbs?
GelMoment’s LED Lamps are guaranteed for life; therefore, no replacement bulbs are required.
86
Can GelMoment products be sold in Salons or Spas?
GelMoment products may be sold to and displayed in a Salon or Spa that is an independent single establishment
and not part of a chain or franchise. If the following criteria are met, the size of the establishment or number of
employees does not matter.
These rules also apply to Salon and Spa owners or employees who wish to sign up and become Distributors.
What is the difference between LED and UV lamps?
GelMoment is pleased to clarify the differences between traditional gel manicures and the GelMoment experience.
All light gives off a certain amount of UV light, including the sun and every other body of light. It is important to
limit that exposure. It is important to know that traditional UV lights are considered to be absolutely safe. A 2013
independent study found “UV nail lamps exceeded safety expectations. These lamps were found to be significantly
less hazardous than expected based on the initial concerns raised by others. The researchers found that UV
exposure is so low that a person could put her hands under a nail lamp for 25 minutes a day without exceeding the
internationally accepted safe limits for daily workplace UV exposure. The data showed that UV nail lamps were
safer than both natural sunlight and sunlamps.
Regardless, a traditional gel manicure, goes through a three-step process, which necessitates going through the
traditional UV lamp three times, this can be up to ten minutes per nail. The beauty of the GelMoment experience is
that there is only one coat for 46 or 60 seconds, depending on which one of our LED Lamps you choose, so this
absolutely limits any exposure to any UV rays.
LED lamps also emit a certain amount of UV light. The greatest advantage they have over the traditional UV light is
that the amount of time exposed to the light is cut down to a third. In addition, the LED light has over 50,000 hours
of use; enough for a lifetime.
Since GelMoment only requires one coat of Gel Polish, and does not need any base or top coat, it becomes far
easier to remove, and in fact anecdotally we have heard from many of our customers already that they have felt
their nails becoming stronger and less brittle after trying the GelMoment experience. This too is the reason why it is
far easier to remove and actually leaves no damage to the nail. Even when using the GelMoment nail pusher, it is
just the Gel Polish that is removed and the nail is left intact.

94
SECTION 3 - OPERATING AN INDEPENDENT GELMOMENT BUSINESS
3.1 - Distributor Created Marketing Methods and Tools
Distributors must adhere to the terms of the GelMoment Compensation Plan as set forth in official GelMoment
literature. Distributors shall not offer the GelMoment opportunity through, or in combination with, any other
system, program, Sales Tools, or method of marketing other than that specifically set forth in official GelMoment
literature. Distributors shall not require or encourage other current or prospective or Distributors to execute any
agreement or contract other than official GelMoment agreements and contracts in order to become a GelMoment
Distributor. Similarly, Distributors shall not require or encourage other current or prospective or Distributors to
make any purchase from, or payment to, any individual or other entity to participate in the GelMoment
Compensation Plan other than those purchases or payments identified as recommended or required in official
GelMoment literature.
3.2 - Advertising
All Distributors shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of GelMoment and its products. The marketing
and promotion of GelMoment, the GelMoment opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and GelMoment products
must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices.
To promote both the products and the tremendous opportunity GelMoment offers, Distributors must use the Sales
Tools produced by GelMoment or approved by GelMoment as described below. The Company has carefully
designed its products, product labels, Compensation Plan, and Sales Tools to ensure that they are promoted in a
fair and truthful manner, that they are substantiated, and that the materials comply with the legal requirements of
federal, provincial, and territorial laws.
Accordingly, Distributors may only advertise or promote their GelMoment business using approved Sales Tools
acquired through GelMoment or through the GelMoment approved Vista Print portals. No approval is necessary to
use these approved Sales Tools. If a Distributor wishes to design his or her own online or offline Sales Tools of any
kind, the proposed designs must be submitted to the GelMoment advertising department
([email protected]) for consideration and inclusion in the Document Library. Unless the Distributor
receives specific written approval from GelMoment to use such Sales Tools, the request shall be deemed
denied. Go to the appropriate tab in your Back-Office for guidelines and to access the library.
Distributors who receive authorization from GelMoment to produce their own Sales Tools may not sell, lease, or
charge a fee of any nature for such Sales Tools to any other GelMoment Distributor. Distributors may make
approved Sales Tools available to other Distributors free of charge if they wish, but may not charge other
GelMoment Distributors for the Sales Tools.
Approved Sales Tools will be posted in the Document Library section of Distributors’ Back-Offices and will be made
available to all Distributors free of charge. The Distributor who submitted the Sales Tool to the Company waives all
claims to remuneration for such use and grants GelMoment an irrevocable license to use the Sales Tools as the
Company deems appropriate.
If the independent GelMoment business of a Distributor who has received authorization to create and post an
External Website is voluntarily or involuntarily canceled for any reason, he/she shall assign the URL to his/her
External Website to the Company within three days from the date of the cancellation.
95
3.2.1 - Trademarks and Copyrights
The name “GelMoment” and other names and logos as may be adopted by the Company are proprietary trade
names and/or trademarks of GelMoment. The Company grants Distributors a limited license to use its trademarks
and trade names in promotional media for so long as the Distributor’s Agreement is in effect. Upon termination of
a Distributor’s Agreement, his or her license shall immediately expire and the Distributor shall immediately
discontinue all use of the Company’s trademarks and trade names. Under no circumstances may a Distributor use
any of GelMoment’s trademarks or trade names in any email address, website domain name, social media handle,
social media name or address, or in any unapproved Sales Tools.
GelMoment commonly puts on live and recorded events as well as webinars and telephone conference calls. During
these events Company executives, Distributors, and guests appear and speak. The content of such events is
copyrighted material that is owned exclusively by the Company. Distributors may not record any Company
functions for any reason, whether such event is live, a webinar, via conference call, or delivered through any other
medium. In addition, Company produced Sales Tools, videos, audios, podcasts, and printed material is also
copyrighted. Distributors shall not copy any such materials for their personal or business use without the
Company’s prior written approval.
As an independent Distributor, you may use the GelMoment name in the following manner
Distributor’s Name
GelMoment Independent Distributor
Example:
Alice Smith
GelMoment Independent Distributor
Distributors may not use the name “GelMoment” in any form in a team name, a tagline, an external website name,
a personal website address or extension, in an e-mail address, as a personal name, or as a nickname. Distributors
may not name their Facebook or other social media pages “GelMoment” or similar. If a Distributor wishes to use
the term “GelMoment” on her Facebook or other social media page(s), the Distributor may only do so if she
includes her name and words “GelMoment Independent Distributor” or similar. They may also use the term
“GelMoment” for use in a social media page or group, if they write “by” and then the distributors’ name. For
example, “GelMoment by Amalia”. Additionally, a Distributor may only use the phrase GelMoment Independent
Distributor in telephone greetings or on an answering machine to clearly separate the Distributor’s independent
GelMoment business from GelMoment.
96
3.3 - Online Conduct
3.3.1 - Distributor Web Sites
If a Distributor desires to utilize an Internet web page to promote his or her business, he or she may do so through
the Replicated Website that each Distributor receives a subscription to when enrolling as a Distributor.
In addition, Distributors may also develop their own personal websites to promote their GelMoment businesses
and generate sales of GelMoment products. However, before launching any website, the Distributor must submit a
beta site to GelMoment for review, and receive GelMoment’s written approval before the site can go live. Once a
website is approved by GelMoment in writing, it is an “External Website”. Any changes to the website must be
submitted to GelMoment, and the Distributor must receive GelMoment’s written authorization to make the change
before going live with the change.
External Websites may be used to promote a Distributor’s independent GelMoment business and the Company’s
products so long as the External Website adheres to the Company’s advertising policies. However, no orders may
be placed through an External Websites; orders may only be placed through a Company provided Replicated
Website. A Distributor may link an approved External Website to the order entry screen of the Company provided
Replicated Website to facilitate sales should the Distributor wish to do so.
3.3.2 - GelMoment Replicated Websites
Distributors receive a GelMoment Replicated Website subscription to facilitate the online buying experience for
their customers and enrollments of new Distributors. Distributors are solely responsible and liable for the content
they add to their Replicated Websites and must regularly review the content to ensure it is accurate and relevant.
Distributors may not alter the branding, artwork, look, or feel of their Replicated Websites, and may not use their
Replicated Websites to promote, market or sell non-GelMoment products, services or business opportunities.
Specifically, a Distributor may not alter the look (placement, sizing etc.) or functionality of the following:
The Distributor’s Name
GelMoment Corporate Website Redirect Button
Artwork, logos, or graphics
Original text.
GelMoment reserves the right to receive analytics and information regarding the usage of your website.
A Distributor may request to change the default ID for his or her Replicated Website and choose a uniquely
identifiable website name, but this name must not:
Be confused with other portions of the GelMoment corporate website;
Confuse a reasonable person into thinking they have landed on a GelMoment corporate page;
Be confused with any GelMoment name;
Contain any discourteous, misleading, or off-color words or phrases that may damage GelMoment’s image.
97
3.3.4 - GelMoment Independent Distributor Disclosure
To avoid confusion, the following three elements must be prominently displayed at the top of every page of a
Distributor’s External Website:
The Distributor’s Name and Title
GelMoment Corporate Website Redirect Button
Although GelMoment brand themes and images are desirable for consistency, anyone landing on any page of a
Distributor’s External Website must clearly understand that they are at an Independent Distributor site, and not a
GelMoment Corporate page.
3.3.5 - External Websites Must Exclusively Promote GelMoment
A Distributor’s External Website must contain content and information that is exclusive to GelMoment. A

A Distributor’s External Website must only facilitate the entry into his or her GelMoment Replicated Website.
Distributors may not stock and sell GelMoment products, and may not facilitate an eCommerce environment that
would facilitate this model. All orders must be placed through the Distributor’s official Replicated Website.
3.3.8 - Team Websites
Team Websites are not a violation of GelMoment’s policy prohibiting Distributors from developing independent
websites. A Team Website must be password protected and available only to Distributors within a single line of
sponsorship. Team Websites must serve only as a forum for communication, training, recognition, connecting and
motivating Distributors within that line of sponsorship. Team Websites may not be used for recruiting or sales
purposes, and may not be shared with prospective Distributors. Team Websites must comply with all of
GelMoment’s Policies and Procedures.
3.3.9 - Domain Names, email Addresses and Online Aliases
Distributors are not allowed to use or register “GelMoment” or any of GelMoment’s trade names, trademarks,
product names, or any derivatives, for any Internet domain name, email address, or online aliases. Additionally, a
Distributor cannot use or register domain names, email addresses, and/or online aliases that could cause confusion,
or be misleading or deceptive, in that they cause individuals to believe or assume the communication is from, or is
the property of GelMoment. This includes, but does not limit, any domain or email address that has the name of
any Country, State, Province or City, either in its entirety of abbreviated form. This includes whether it makes up
the complete domain name and email address, or part of it. GelMoment can refuse any domain name at any time
and the Distributor will have to choose a new one.
98
If a Distributor violates this policy, the Distributor shall assign and transfer the domain name, email address, social
media handle or name, or online alias to the Company immediately upon the Company’s demand, and the
Distributor shall be responsible for paying all fees and costs, including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs
and transfer costs, associated with the assignment and transfer. This remedy is in addition to, and not in place of,
other remedies and/or disciplinary measures that the Company may take pursuant to these Policies.
3.3.11 - Monetizing Replicated or External Websites
Distributors may not monetize their Replicated Website or their External Website through affiliate programs,
AdSense or similar programs.
3.3.12 - Online Classifieds
Distributors may not use online classifieds (including without limitation Craigslist, Amazon, EBay and Kijiji) to list,
sell or retail specific GelMoment products or product bundles. Distributors may use online classifieds for informing
the public about the GelMoment business opportunity, provided GelMoment-approved templates/images are used.
These templates will identify the Distributor as a GelMoment Independent Distributor. If a link or URL is provided, it
must link to the Distributor’s Replicated Website or External Website.

Distributors may place banner advertisements on a Company-approved third-party website provided the
Distributor uses GelMoment-approved templates and images. All banner advertisements must link only to a
Distributor’s Replicated Website or an External Website. Distributors 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 GelMoment products or the GelMoment opportunity.
3.3.19 - Domain Names and Email Addresses
Except as set forth in the Distributor Website Agreement, Distributors may not use or attempt to register any of
GelMoment’s trade names, trademarks, product names, the Company’s name, or any derivative of the foregoing,
for any Internet domain name, email address, or name or address.
99
3.4 - Social Media
Social Media may be used by Distributors to share information about the GelMoment. However, Distributors who
elect to use Social Media must adhere to the Policies and Procedures in all respects.
Social Media sites may not be used to sell or offer to sell specific GelMoment products. Profiles a Distributor
generates in any social community where GelMoment is discussed or mentioned must clearly identify the
Distributor as a GelMoment Independent Distributor, and when a Distributor participates in those communities,
Distributors must avoid inappropriate conversations, comments, images, video, audio, applications or any other
adult, profane, discriminatory or vulgar content. The determination of what is inappropriate is at GelMoment’s sole
discretion, and offending Distributors will be subject to disciplinary action. Banner ads and images used on these
sites must be current and must come from the GelMoment approved library. If a link is provided, it must link to the
posting Distributor’s Replicated Website or the Distributor’s Company-approved External Website.
Distributors may not use blog spam, spamdexing or any other mass-replicated methods to leave blog comments.
Comments Distributors create or leave must be useful, unique, relevant and specific to the blog’s article.
3.4.1 - Distributors Are Responsible for Postings
Distributors are personally responsible for their postings and all other online activity that relates to GelMoment.
Therefore, even if a Distributor does not own or operate a blog or Social Media site, if a Distributor posts to any
such site that relates to GelMoment or which can be traced to GelMoment, the Distributor is responsible for the
posting. Distributors are also responsible for postings that appear on any blog or Social Media site that the
Distributor owns, operates, or controls.
3.4.2 - Identification as an GelMoment Independent Distributor
When posting to social media, a Distributor must disclose his or her full name and conspicuously identify himself or
herself as an independent Distributor for GelMoment. Anonymous postings or use of an alias is
prohibited. Distributors will not be added to the Corporate Facebook pages, if their Facebook account does not
match the name on their Distributor account.
3.4.3 - Social Media as a Sales and Promotion Forum
Some social media sites promote commercial use while others prohibit it. It is each Distributor’s responsibility to
learn and abide by the social media site’s terms of use and policies. If the social media site does not allow its site to
be used for commercial activity, you must abide by the site’s terms of use. Social Media sites are relationship-
building sites.
3.4.4 - Sales and Enrollments from Social Media Sites Are Prohibited
Online sales and/or enrollments may only be generated from a Distributor’s GelMoment replicated website.
Likewise, Distributors shall not use any Social Media site to explain the GelMoment Compensation Plan or any
component of the Compensation Plan. GelMoment products may be advertised and promoted at social media sites
(subject to compliance with Section 3.4.3), but no price information may be included in such posts or ads.
