Understanding typical results and required disclosures.
Official Income Disclaimer
The following disclaimer must appear on all compensation plan materials:
"Success as a Corsair Connect Independent Associate (IA) is not guaranteed but rather influenced by an individual's specific effort. Not all Corsair Connect IAs make a profit, and no one can be guaranteed success as a Corsair Connect IA. Individual results vary based on individual performance. Corsair Connect makes no income claim nor guarantee, implied or otherwise, and prohibits its IAs from doing so as well."
This exact text appears on the first and last slide of official Compensation Plan presentations.
