Prohibited Activities

What IAs must NOT do.

Critical Prohibitions

Income & Investment Claims

❌ Prohibited	Why
Income guarantees	Violates FTC, deceptive
"You will make $X"	No one can guarantee results
CSR as an investment	CSR is not a security
Promises of returns	Not an investment product
Lifestyle promises	"Buy a house in 6 months"

Marketing Violations

❌ Prohibited	Why
Unauthorized materials	Not approved for compliance
Modified company materials	May introduce errors/violations
False testimonials	Deceptive, illegal
Medical/health claims	Unsubstantiated, dangerous
Spam/unsolicited marketing	Violates laws (CAN-SPAM, etc.)

Recruiting Violations

❌ Prohibited	Why
Cross-recruiting	Stealing from other lines
Poaching from competitors during meeting	Unethical
Front-loading	Manipulating compensation
Pressure tactics	Unethical, may be illegal

Business Conduct

❌ Prohibited	Why
Operating in restricted territories	Regulatory/sanctions violations
Multiple IA positions	Max 2 positions (1 personal + 1 business entity)
Using another's position	Fraud
Hiding material facts	Deceptive practices
Account stacking	Violates one-account policy
Sharing login credentials	Security and compliance risk

Upline/Downline Purchase Restrictions (P&P 1.4.3)

❌ Prohibited	Why
Buying PNPs for your sponsor	Distorts organization, compliance violation
Buying PNPs for your downline	Manipulates commission calculations
Sponsor buying for their downline	Creates artificial volume
Using another IA's account to purchase	Account integrity violation
Funding another IA's purchases	Circumvents compliance rules

Important: Each IA must make their own purchases with their own funds. Sponsors cannot "help" by purchasing on behalf of their team members, and downline cannot purchase for their upline. This rule ensures:

• Accurate commission calculations
• Genuine organizational growth
• Compliance with MLM regulations
• Prevention of front-loading

Restricted & Sanctioned Territories

Operating in or recruiting from these areas is strictly prohibited:

Category	Examples
US-sanctioned countries	North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Crimea region
Embargo jurisdictions	As updated by OFAC/EU sanctions lists
Unlicensed territories	Where MLM requires license we don't hold

Consequences: Immediate account suspension and potential termination. May also result in legal liability for the IA.

Non-Disparagement

❌ Prohibited	Why
Disparaging Corsair Connect	Damages company reputation
Criticizing company publicly	Violates IA Agreement
Negative social media posts about company	Harmful to all IAs
Disparaging other IAs	Creates conflict, unprofessional

Note: Legitimate complaints should go through proper channels (support, compliance). Public criticism violates your agreement and may result in termination.

"This is a guaranteed return"
"CSR is an investment"
"You can't lose"

Reporting Violations

If you see prohibited activity:

1. Document what you saw
2. Report to compliance
3. Don't engage or escalate
4. Let company handle

Self-Check

Before any marketing ask:

• Is this truthful?
• Is this approved?
• Are disclosures included?
• Would I be comfortable if a regulator saw this?
