2. I shall become a Member upon acceptance of this application by the Company. As a Member, I shall have the right to purchase products and services through The Blastoff Network, promote the sale of such services and products to other Members, sponsor others as Members (and thereby build a marketing organization), and earn bonuses and commissions in accordance with the Company’s Commission Plan, which may be amended and changed from time to time. Note that Members who are minors will not be eligible for payment of bonuses or commissions under the Commission Plan until they reach the age of majority in their states of residence (usually 18 years of age).

I have carefully reviewed the Company’s Commission Plan and Policies and Procedures, both of which are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms & Conditions (these three documents shall collectively be referred to as the “Agreement”). I understand that I must be in good standing, not in violation of the Agreement, and the age of majority in my state of residence to be eligible for receipt of bonuses or commissions from Company. I understand that these Terms & Conditions, the Policies and Procedures, or the Commission Plan may be amended at the sole discretion of the Company, and I agree to abide by all such amendments. Notification of amendments shall be posted on Company’s website and mailed to all Members, and shall become effective 10 days after such notification. The continuation of my Membership or my acceptance of bonuses or commissions shall constitute my acceptance of any and all amendments.
4. The term of this Agreement is one year, subject to prior cancellation or termination as provided in the Agreement. Members, who wish to continue their Memberships, must renew the Agreement annually. If I fail to annually renew the Agreement, or if it is canceled or terminated for any reason, I understand that I will permanently lose all rights as a Member. I shall not be eligible to purchase products or services through The Blastoff Network, sponsor others as Blastoff Network Members, promote the sale of products and services through The Blastoff Network, and will not be eligible to receive commissions, bonuses, or other income through the Commission Plan.

completed.

13. I may not assign any rights or delegate my duties under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.
