All \u00a0Affiliates \u00a0shall \u00a0safeguard \u00a0and \u00a0promote \u00a0the \u00a0good \u00a0reputation \u00a0of \u00a0Digital Altitude \u00a0and \u00a0its products. \u00a0The marketing and promotion of Digital Altitude, the Digital Altitude opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and Digital Altitude services must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices.<\/p>\n
Affiliates \u00a0may \u00a0develop \u00a0their \u00a0own \u00a0advertising \u00a0and \u00a0promotional \u00a0materials \u00a0so \u00a0long \u00a0as \u00a0Digital Altitude properly \u00a0authorizes \u00a0such \u00a0materials. \u00a0\u00a0It is the Affiliate\u2019s obligation to ensure \u00a0that his or her marketing activities are truthful, are not deceptive and do not mislead customers or potential Affiliates in any way. No income claims or representations may be included in such materials unless a copy of the Digital Altitude Income Disclosure Statement is incorporated into the advertising or promotional material or the Internet address of the current Income Disclosure Statement is incorporated into the materials.<\/p>\n
To promote both the platform and the opportunity Digital Altitude has to offer, Affiliates must use the sales aids and support materials produced by Digital Altitude. If Digital Altitude Affiliates develop their own sales aids and promotional materials (which includes Internet advertising), notwithstanding Affiliates\u2019 good intentions, they may unintentionally violate any number of statutes or regulations affecting the Digital Altitude business. These violations, although they may be relatively few \u00a0in \u00a0number, \u00a0could \u00a0jeopardize \u00a0the \u00a0Digital Altitude \u00a0opportunity \u00a0for \u00a0all \u00a0Affiliates. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Accordingly,<\/p>\n
Affiliates must submit all written sales aids, promotional materials, advertisements, websites and other literature to the Company \u00a0for Company\u2019s \u00a0approval \u00a0prior \u00a0to use. Unless the affiliate receives \u00a0specific written approval to use the material, the request shall be deemed denied. The marketing and promotion of Digital Altitude, the Digital Altitude opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and the Digital Altitude platform \u00a0shall \u00a0be \u00a0consistent \u00a0with \u00a0the \u00a0public \u00a0interest, \u00a0and \u00a0must \u00a0avoid \u00a0all \u00a0discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices. \u00a0Affiliates will not make false or misleading statements about the sales opportunity. \u00a0Affiliates may not sell sales aids to other Digital Altitude Affiliates. \u00a0Therefore, Affiliates who receives authorization from Digital Altitude to produce their own sales \u00a0aids \u00a0may \u00a0not \u00a0sell \u00a0such \u00a0material \u00a0to \u00a0any \u00a0other \u00a0Digital Altitude \u00a0Affiliate. \u00a0\u00a0Digital Altitude further reserves the right to rescind approval for any sales tools, promotional materials, advertisements, or other literature, and Affiliate waive all claims for damages or remuneration arising from or relating to such rescission.<\/p>\n

Additionally, an Affiliate cannot use or register domain names, email addresses, and\/or online aliases that could cause confusion, or be misleading or deceptive, \u00a0in that they \u00a0cause \u00a0individuals \u00a0to believe \u00a0or assume \u00a0the communication \u00a0is from, \u00a0or is the property of Digital Altitude.<\/p>\n

Although an Digital Altitude business is an independently operated business, the sale, transfer or assignment of an Digital Altitude business is subject to certain limitations. \u00a0\u00a0If an Affiliate wishes to sell his or her Digital Altitude business, the selling Affiliate must offer Digital Altitude the right of first \u00a0refusal \u00a0to \u00a0purchase \u00a0the \u00a0business \u00a0on \u00a0the \u00a0same \u00a0terms \u00a0as \u00a0agreed \u00a0upon \u00a0with \u00a0a \u00a0third-\u00ad\u2010party \u00a0buyer. Digital Altitude shall have fifteen days from the date of receipt of the written offer from the seller to exercise its right of first refusal. \u00a0If Digital Altitude elects not to purchase the business, the following criteria must be met:<\/p>\n

SECTION 3 -\u00ad\u2010 \u00a0\u00a022 -\u00ad\u2010 \u00a0\u00a0Telemarketing Techniques<\/b><\/p>\n
The Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission each have laws that restrict telemarketing practices. \u00a0Both federal agencies (as well as a number of states) have \u201cdo not call\u201d<\/p>\n
regulations as part of their telemarketing laws. \u00a0Although Digital Altitude does not consider Affiliates to be \u201ctelemarketers\u201d in the traditional sense of the word, these government regulations broadly define the term \u201ctelemarketer\u201d and \u201ctelemarketing\u201d so that your inadvertent action of calling someone whose telephone \u00a0number \u00a0is listed \u00a0on the federal \u00a0\u201cdo not call\u201d \u00a0registry \u00a0could \u00a0cause \u00a0you to violate \u00a0the law. Moreover, these regulations must not be taken lightly, as they carry significant penalties.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Affiliates must not engage in telemarketing in the operation of their Digital Altitude businesses. \u00a0The term \u201ctelemarketing\u201d means the placing of one or more telephone calls to an individual or entity to induce the purchase of an Digital Altitude service, or to recruit them for the Digital Altitude opportunity. \u00a0\u00a0\u201cCold \u00a0calls” \u00a0made \u00a0to \u00a0prospective \u00a0customers \u00a0or \u00a0Affiliates \u00a0that \u00a0promote \u00a0either Digital Altitude\u2019s \u00a0products \u00a0or \u00a0services \u00a0or \u00a0the \u00a0Digital Altitude \u00a0opportunity \u00a0constitute telemarketing \u00a0and are prohibited. \u00a0\u00a0However, \u00a0a telephone \u00a0call(s) placed \u00a0to a prospective \u00a0customer \u00a0or Affiliate (a “prospect”) is permissible under the following situations:<\/p>\n
