doTERRA Wholesale Customer agreement for NZ
The current doTERRA Wholesale Customer agreement form for N.Z. is online here (page 2). These are the terms and conditions that apply to doTERRA Wholesale Customers in New Zealand.
We know that many people do not read agreements before signing them, often because contract fonts are small (hence the term fine-print) and not formatted for easy reading. We have reproduced the doTERRA agreement form below, with minimal formatting, to make it easier for our customers to read and search their agreement.
The copy below is a reproduction only, which may include unintentional errors or omissions, and does not replace or supplement the doTERRA agreement. The actual doTERRA Wholesale Customer agreement can be found here.

Products shall not be considered Currently Marketable if the Company discloses prior to purchase that the products are seasonal, discontinued, limited time offers, or special promotion products not subject to the Return Policy.
4. Loyalty Rewards Program.
While a Member has no requirement to purchase products, a Member can ensure that the Member will receive monthly deliveries of dōTERRA products by enroling in the Loyalty Rewards Program (LRP) after the first month of enrolment. LRP eliminates the inconvenience of placing monthly orders manually. If the Member’s LRP Order is at least 50 Personal Volume (PV) points every calendar month, the Member is eligible to receive Product Credits each month. PV is the point value of products purchased by a Member in one calendar month. Not all products will generate PV points and PV does not include purchases of product with Product Credit. The PV of a product is clearly delineated on the Product Order Form. Product Credits are non-cash redeemable points that can be used to purchase dōTERRA designated products. Product Credits are granted as part of the LRP and in the discretion of the Company. After Member has been an LRP participant for 60 days, Member can redeem Product Credits to purchase full PV products. LRP Product Credits can be redeemed for 12 months from the date of issue, after which they expire. The credits can be redeemed for a $3.00 NZD fee, for each 100 Product Credit redemption, by calling 1-800-411- 8151. Products purchased with LRP credits are not for resale, nor can such product be returned. Redemption orders have no PV and cannot be combined with other product orders. Product Credits have no cash redemption value and are not transferrable. All Product Credits will be cancelled if participation in the LRP program is cancelled. A Member’s primary LRP order may only be cancelled by calling the Company. Any subsequent LRP order can be cancelled online.
5. Resell of Products.
Member agrees that they will not sell dōTERRA products purchased through the Membership.
6. Limitation of Liability.
dōTERRA, its members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, assigns, and agents (collectively referred as “affiliates”), shall not be liable for special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages. If dōTERRA is found to be in breach of the terms and conditions, the maximum amount of damages Member may claim shall be limited to the amount of dōTERRA products that Member personally purchased from the dōTERRA and have remaining on hand.
7. Dispute Resolution.
In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, the parties shall first use their best efforts to settle the dispute. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute, all disputes, claims, questions, or differences shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered in Provo, Utah, by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither Member nor Company will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or other proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue before any federal court in Utah County, State of Utah, for purposes of enforcing an award by an arbitrator. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive any termination or expiration of the Membership.

Failure to bring such action within the permitted time shall act as a bar against all claims against dōTERRA for such act or omission. The Member waives any and all claims or rights to have any other statute of limitation apply.
9. Electronic Communication.
I authorise dōTERRA and its affiliates to communicate with me through electronic mail at the email address provided to dōTERRA. I understand that such email may include offers or solicitations for the sale and purchase of dōTERRA products, sales aids, or services.
