6.3 The aim and objective of the PM-International distribution system is to sell PM-International products to end consumers who purchase their PM products directly from PM and referring end customers to PM (Customer Direct Program) and referring new Teampartners to PM as a sponsor. It is thus expected from every Teampartner to look after and service his/her customers actively and regularly.

Violation of this will be strictly followed up by PM, even down to termination of the partnership. PM additionally specifies general rules of behavior which must be strictly adhered to at all times. This is available under www.pm-international.com.

6.11 For every violation of obligations under No’s. 1.1, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 4.1, 4.2 and 6.8 of the Teampartner Rules, a Teampartner will pay a contractual penalty, the amount of which will be stipulated by PM in each individual case taking into account the significance of the violation and the income of the Teampartner, whereby the contractual penalty will be a minimum of €500 (or the equivalent in a Teampartner’s country’s currency) and a maximum of €10,000.
