“The Mission of LadyBoss is to help women lose weight and love themselves again. We will help women gain back their confidence, improve the overall quality of their life, and change the health of their entire family tree. We will do this by providing the best information, products, and services possible in the three pillars of fitness, nutrition, and accountability.

We believe our Mission Statement to our very core, and we know that you do too. By surrounding yourself with like-minded people you will truly change your life and the lives of others. Welcome to a new chapter in your life!

The following Policies & Procedures (often referred to as the P&P) give you the roadmap to build your LadyBoss business and keep it on the right track.

1.1     Mutual Commitment Statement

  • ​a)     LADYBOSS HOLDINGS, LLC (hereinafter referred to as (“LadyBoss” or “Company”) strives to develop a long-term and mutually rewarding relationship with its Champions and Customers. In the spirit of mutual respect and understanding, LadyBoss is committed to:
  • ​(i)      Providing prompt, professional, and courteous service to its Champions and Customers;
  • ​(ii)     Providing the highest level of quality products, at fair and reasonable prices;
  • ​(iii)    Exchanging or refunding the purchase price of any product, service, or membership as provided in LadyBoss’s return policies contained herein;
  • ​(iv)    Delivering orders promptly and accurately;
  • ​(v)     Paying commissions accurately and on a timely basis;
  • ​(vi)    Expediting orders if an error or unreasonable delay occurs;
  • ​(vii)   Maintaining a mutually beneficial Compensation Plan;
  • ​(viii)  Implementing changes to the Compensation Plan or this Statement of Policies and Procedures (the “Policies and Procedures”) with input from Champions and/or Customers (Note: such changes will be effective thirty (30) days after the date any such changes are published by LadyBoss)
  • ​(ix)    Supporting, protecting, and defending the integrity of the LadyBoss Business Opportunity;
  • ​b)     In return, LadyBoss expects that its Champions will:
  • ​(i)      Conduct themselves in a professional, honest, and considerate manner;
  • ​(ii)     Present LadyBoss Corporate and LadyBoss product information in an accurate and professional manner;
  • ​(iii)    Present the Compensation Plan and return and exchange policies in a complete and accurate manner;
  • ​(iv)    Not make exaggerated income or product claims;

  • ​(viii)  Support, protect, and defend the integrity of the LadyBoss business opportunity.

1.2     Code of Ethics

  • ​a)     LadyBoss desires to provide its Independent Champions with the best products and Compensation Plan in the industry. Accordingly, LadyBoss values constructive criticism and encourages the submission of written comments addressed to the LadyBoss Compliance Department.
  • ​b)     Champion’s negative and disparaging comments about LadyBoss, its products, these Policies, or Compensation Plan, made to LadyBoss, or to the field or at any LadyBoss meeting and/or event, or disruptive behavior at any meeting and/or event, serve no purpose other than to dampen the enthusiasm of other Champions and Customers. LadyBoss Champions must not belittle LadyBoss, fellow LadyBoss Champions, LadyBoss products or services, the Compensation Plan, or any and all LadyBoss directors, officers, employees, product suppliers, or agents. Such conduct represents a material breach of these Policies and Procedures and may result in suspension or termination of the offending Champion Account.
  • ​c)     LadyBoss endorses the following code of ethics:
  • ​(i)      A LadyBoss Champion must show fairness, tolerance, and respect to all people associated with LadyBoss, regardless of race, gender, social class, or religion, thereby fostering a “positive atmosphere” of teamwork, good morale, and community spirit.
  • ​(ii)     A Champion shall strive to resolve business issues, including conflicts or disagreements with Upline and/or Tribe Organization Champion with tact, sensitivity, and goodwill, and taking care not to create additional conflict.
  • ​(iii)    LadyBoss Champions must be honest, responsible, professional, and conduct themselves with integrity.
  • ​(iv)    LadyBoss Champion shall not make disparaging statements about LadyBoss, other Champions, LadyBoss employees, product suppliers or agents, products, services, sales, and marketing campaigns, or the Compensation Plan.
  • ​(v)     LadyBoss Champions shall not make statements that unreasonably offend, mislead, or coerce others.
  • ​d)     LadyBoss may take appropriate action against a Champion if it determines, in its sole discretion, that a Champion’s conduct is detrimental, disruptive, or injurious to LadyBoss or other Champions.

1.3     The Champion Agreement

  • ​a)     Throughout these Policies & Procedures, when the term “Agreement” is used, it collectively refers to the most current version of the following along with any addendums or exhibits thereto: (i) LadyBoss Policies and Procedures; and (ii) LadyBoss Compensation Plan.
  • ​b)     It is the responsibility of the Sponsoring Champion to provide the most current version of these Policies and Procedures (available on the LadyBoss website), the Income Disclosure Statement, the Compensation Plan, and any and all social media guidelines or any other guidelines which may be implemented from time to time and any amendments thereto to their Tribe Champion. The Income Disclosure Statement is attached as Addendum 2 and is incorporated by reference for all purposes.

1.4     Amendments to the Champion Agreement

  • ​a)     Because federal, state, and local laws, as well as the business environment, periodically change, LadyBoss reserves the right to amend the Agreement as set forth on its website in its sole and absolute discretion. Notification of amendments shall appear in official LadyBoss materials, LadyBoss website, social media outlets, and/or Champion’s back office.
  • ​b)     Any such amendment, change, or modification shall be effective thirty (30) days following notice by one of the following methods:
  • ​(i)      Posting on the official LadyBoss website;
  • ​(ii)     Electronic mail (e-mail); or
  • ​(iii)    Any LadyBoss communication channels or social media outlets (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and/or LadyBoss App).

2.0     BASIC PRINCIPLES

2.1     Becoming a LadyBoss Champion

  • ​a)     To become a Champion, an applicant must:
  • ​(i)      Be of the age of majority (not a minor) in his or her state of residence;
  • ​(ii)     Reside or have a valid address in the United States or U.S. territory in which LadyBoss is licensed to operate.
  • ​(iii)    Have a valid taxpayer identification number (i.e., Social Security Number, Federal Tax ID Number (EIN);
  • ​(iv)    Enter a verified mobile phone number, which is not in use or associated with any other LadyBoss accounts, which will be verified through a verification code sent to the applicant’s mobile phone number.
  • ​(v)     Acknowledge and agree to all communications sent by LadyBoss, (including but not limited to emails, texts, broadcasts, letters, etc.) with the choice to “opt-out” of these communications.

2.2     New Champion Enrollment

  • ​a)     A potential new Champion may self-enroll on any Champion/Sponsor’s website, subject to acceptance by LadyBoss of the applicant’s online enrollment confirming the applicant has agreed to all terms and conditions of the Champion Agreement.
  • ​b)     Electronically submitted and/or signed documents, including, but not limited to, online submissions, automated credit card processing authorization documents, and the Champion Agreement are legally binding contracts that must not be altered, tampered with, or changed in any manner after they have been signed and/or submitted. False or misleading information, forged signatures, or alterations to any document, including business registration forms, may lead to sanctions, up to and including the involuntary termination of the offending Champion’s Account.
  • ​c)     An applicant enrolling with LadyBoss must identify a Champion in the online enrollment process. If the applicant later enrolls and identifies a different Champion
  • ​d)     LadyBoss will not accept the later enrollment. LadyBoss reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make the final decision with respect to any disputes regarding Champion enrollments and Sponsors

3.0     LADYBOSS CHAMPION RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1     Correct Address

  • ​a)     It is the responsibility of the Champion or Customer to make sure LadyBoss has the correct shipping address before any orders are shipped.
  • ​b)     A Champion and/or Customer will need to allow up to seventy-two (72) hours for processing after the notice of address change has been received by LadyBoss Support Team.

3.2     Training and Leadership

  • ​a)     Sponsoring Champions should have ongoing contact and communication with the Champions in their Tribe Organizations. Examples of communication may include but are not limited to, newsletters, written correspondence, personal telephone calls, team conference calls, voicemail, e-mail, personal meetings, training sessions, events, workshops, and any other related functions.
  • ​b)     A Sponsoring LadyBoss Champion should monitor the Champion in his or her Tribe Organizations to ensure that Tribe Champions do not make improper product or business claims or engage in any illegal or inappropriate conduct. Upon request, a Sponsoring Champion must provide documented evidence to LadyBoss of his or her ongoing fulfillment of the responsibilities set forth in this Section 3.2.
  • ​c)     Up-line Champions are encouraged to educate and train new Champions about LadyBoss’s products and services, effective sales techniques, the Compensation Plan, along with compliance with these Policies and Procedures, and any and all social media guidelines or any other guidelines issued by LadyBoss. Marketing product is a required activity in LadyBoss and must be emphasized in all Recruiting presentations.
  • ​d)     Use of Sales Aids. To promote LadyBoss products and the LadyBoss business opportunity, Champions are encouraged to use the sales aids and support materials produced or expressly authorized by LadyBoss. Champions may use and publish marketing materials they design only after such materials have been approved by LadyBoss. A Champion’s unauthorized use of sales aids or promotional materials, including but not limited to Internet advertising, and social media marketing on Facebook, Instagram, and like, is a violation of these Policies and Procedures. Additionally, publishing marketing materials that violate any number of statutes or regulatory laws governing how LadyBoss’s products or business opportunity may be marketed is a violation of these Policies and Procedures and may result in immediate termination of the publisher’s LadyBoss Account. Any such violations could jeopardize the LadyBoss’s opportunity for all Champions. Accordingly, Champions must submit via email all sales aids, promotional materials, advertisements, websites, training material, flyers, along with any other literature to LadyBoss’s Compliance Department for approval prior to use at compliance@ladyboss.com. Unless the Champion receives specific written approval to use the material(s), the request shall be deemed denied. All Champions shall safeguard and promote the good reputation of LadyBoss and its products. The marketing and promotion of LadyBoss, the LadyBoss opportunity, the Compensation Plan, and LadyBoss products and services shall be consistent with the public interest and must avoid all discourteous, deceptive, misleading, unethical, or immoral conduct or practices.
  • ​e)     Champions shall not train workout groups using LadyBoss workout content without express written permission from LadyBoss.

3.3     Sponsorship

  • ​a)     The Sponsor is the person who introduces a Champion or Customer to LadyBoss, helps them complete their enrollment, and supports and trains those in their Tribe.
  • ​b)     LadyBoss recognizes the Sponsor as the name shown on an applicant’s first enrollment submission to LadyBoss.
  • ​c)     An applicant may not enroll with LadyBoss as a Champion without personally accepting and agreeing to the terms and conditions of the LadyBoss Agreement.
  • ​d)     LadyBoss recognizes that each new prospect has the right to ultimately choose his or her own Sponsor, but LadyBoss will not allow Champions to engage in unethical sponsoring activities.
  • ​e)     All active Champions in good standing have the right to Sponsor and enroll others into LadyBoss. While engaged in sponsoring activities, it is not uncommon to encounter situations when more than one Champion will approach the same prospect. In this scenario, the new prospect should be Sponsored by the first Champion who presented a comprehensive introduction to LadyBoss products or business opportunity.
  • ​f)     In the event of a dispute regarding Sponsorship, LadyBoss reserves the right to designate a prospect’s Sponsor and all such determinations are final.

3.4     Unethical Sponsoring

  • ​a)     Unethical sponsoring activities include, but are not limited to, enticing, bidding, or engaging in unhealthy competition by attempting to acquire a prospect or new Champion away from a fellow Champion or influencing another Champion to transfer to a different Sponsor.
  • ​b)     Allegations of unethical sponsoring must be reported in writing to the LadyBoss Compliance Department within the first 30 days of the new Champion enrollment in question. If the reports are substantiated, LadyBoss may transfer the Champion or the Champion’s Tribe to another Sponsor or Organization without approval from the current up-line Sponsor. LadyBoss remains the final authority in such cases.
  • ​c)     LadyBoss prohibits the unauthorized manipulation of the LadyBoss Compensation Plan and/or marketing plan to trigger commissions or cause the promotion of a Tribe Champion in an unearned manner (hereinafter, “Stacking.”). For example, Stacking occurs when a Sponsor places Champion(s) under an inactive Tribe member without the Champion’s knowledge in order to trigger unearned qualification for commissioning purposes. Stacking is unethical and unacceptable behavior, and as such, it is a punishable offense that may result in immediate termination of Accounts of all Champions, individuals, and/or entities found to be involved.
  • ​d)     Any Champion who solicits or entices members of another direct sales company to sell or distribute LadyBoss products and services bears the risk of being sued by the other direct sales company. If any lawsuit, arbitration, or mediation is brought against a Champion alleging that they engaged in inappropriate Recruiting of another company’s sales force or customers, LadyBoss will not pay any of the Champion’s defense costs or legal fees, nor will LadyBoss indemnify the Champion for any judgment, award, or settlement.

3.5     Cross Sponsoring Prohibition

  • ​a)     “Cross sponsoring” is defined as the enrollment into a different Line of Sponsorship of an individual, or Business Entity, that was already previously enrolled as a Champion. Actual or attempted Cross Sponsoring is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of the offending Champion’s Account.
  • ​b)     Enrollment through the use of a Spouse or relative’s name, trade name, assumed name, Business Entity, or fictitious identification of any kind to evade or circumvent this Cross Sponsoring Policy is strictly prohibited.
  • ​c)     This Policy does not prohibit the transfer of a LadyBoss Account and business in accordance with the Transfer of Sale or Transfer Policy set forth in these Policies.

3.6     Solicitation for Other Companies or Products

  • ​a)     A LadyBoss Champion and/or Customer may participate in other direct sales, multilevel, network marketing, or relationship marketing businesses or marketing opportunities, as long as it is not a Competing Product as defined herein. However, during the Term of this Agreement and for six (6) months thereafter, a LadyBoss Champion may not recruit any fellow LadyBoss Champion or Customer for any other direct sales or network marketing business, unless that fellow Champion or Customer was personally sponsored by such Champion.
  • ​b)     The term “recruit” means actual or attempted solicitation, enrollment, encouragement, or effort to influence in any other way (either directly or through a third party), another Champion, or Customer to enroll or participate in any direct sales or network marketing opportunity. This conduct represents recruiting even if the Champion’s actions are in response to an inquiry made by another Champion or Customer.
  • ​c)     During the term of this Agreement, any LadyBoss Champion must not sell or entice others to sell, any competing products or services, including training materials, to LadyBoss Customers or Champions. Subject to the definition of Competing Products in the Glossary below, any product or service in the same category as a LadyBoss product or service is deemed to be competing regardless of differences in cost or quality.
  • ​d)     A Champion may sell non-competing products or services to the LadyBoss Customers and Champions that they personally sponsored.
  • ​e)     A Champion may not display or bundle LadyBoss products or services, in sales literature, on a website, or in sales meetings, with any other products or services to avoid confusing or misleading a prospective Customer or Champion into believing there is a relationship between the LadyBoss and non-LadyBoss products and services.
  • ​f)     A LadyBoss Champion may not offer any non-LadyBoss opportunity, products, or services at any LadyBoss-related meeting, live or virtual, event, seminar, or convention that other LadyBoss Champions or Customers are known to be attending, or immediately following a LadyBoss event.
  • ​g)     A violation of any of the provisions in this section shall constitute unreasonable and unwarranted contractual interference between LadyBoss and its Champions and would inflict irreparable harm on LadyBoss. In such event, LadyBoss may, at its sole discretion, impose any sanction it deems necessary and appropriate against such Champion or such Champion’s positions including termination, or seek immediate injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond in addition to any other legal remedies to which LadyBoss may be entitled.

The Champion shall not be eligible to re-enroll with LadyBoss as a Champion for six (6) months following termination of the Account. Upon termination of the Account, the Tribe Organization will roll up to the immediate, active Upline Champion.
  • ​b)     If a Champion pays the membership renewal fee after it is due but within the sixty (60) day grace period set forth in Section 4.2(a) above, the Champion will resume the rank and positions held immediately prior to the membership renewal fee due date. However, such Champion’s paid as level will not be restored unless that Champion qualifies at that level in the new month. The Champion is not eligible to receive commissions or bonuses for any part of the sixty (60) day grace period that the annual membership renewal fee is unpaid.

4.3     Effect of Termination

  • ​a)     Following voluntary or involuntary termination of a Champion’s LadyBoss Account (collectively, “termination”) such Champion:

  • ​(iii)    Shall receive commissions and bonuses only for the last full pay period in which the Champion was active prior to termination, less any amounts withheld during an investigation preceding an involuntary termination, less LadyBoss Bucks, and less any other amounts owed to LadyBoss.

4.4     Modifying a Champion’s LadyBoss Account

  • ​a)     A Champion may modify his or her existing LadyBoss Account to add a Spouse or partner to the Champion’s Account or change the form of ownership from an individual to a Business Entity by submitting a written request to LadyBoss’s Support Department to make such modification.

4.5     Unauthorized Transfer & Re-Enrollment

  • ​a)     In the event a Champion discovers that a Champion in their Tribe has re-enrolled under a different Champion, the Champion has thirty (30) days from the date the Tribe Champion enrolled under a new Champion to notify the LadyBoss Compliance department and request the Tribe Champion be transferred back to his/her Tribe. Upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period, the right to re-claim a new Champion to his or her Tribe will be waived.

4.6     Change of Sponsors for Champion

  • ​a)     Sponsor changes/corrections may be requested within a period of 72 hours from the time of enrollment. Such adjustments require written permission directed to the Support Department submitted from the personal back office of the Sponsor as well as the Champion to be moved and in some cases the Upline Champion.
  • ​b)     Sponsor changes are generally not permitted. However, sponsor corrections can be made if they are reported to the Support Department within seventy-two (72) hours from the time of enrollment. Sponsor corrections must be requested from the Champion’s back office of the current (original) Sponsor, stating the reason that the correction needs to be made.
  • ​c)     At the discretion of LadyBoss, Champions who have not ordered products or services for at least twelve (12) months, and whose Account has not been terminated, are eligible to re-enroll in LadyBoss under the Sponsor of their choice.
  • ​d)     When a former Champion re-enrolls with LadyBoss, LadyBoss will “compress” (close) the Champion’s original Account, and a new LadyBoss User ID number will be issued to the Champion. In this scenario, a Champion does not retain former rank, Tribe Organization, or rights to commissions from the Champion’s former LadyBoss business or Account.
  • ​e)     LadyBoss reserves the right to correct Sponsor errors at any time and in whatever manner it deems necessary in its sole discretion.

4.7     Change Organizations

  • ​b)     LadyBoss retains the right to approve or deny any request to re-enroll after a Champion’s termination. Champions within the same Tribe Organization simultaneously submitting notices of voluntary termination to transfer Organization in accordance with Section 4.7(a) will be deemed an abuse of these Policies.
  • ​c)     If re-enrollment is approved, the former Champion will be issued a new LadyBoss User ID after accepting and agreeing to the terms of the Champion Agreement in effect at that time.

  • ​(iv)    Reason(s) for terminating the Account, and
  • ​(v)     Champion’s signature.
  • ​b)     A Champion may not use voluntary termination as a way to immediately change Sponsors. A Champion who has voluntarily terminated an Account is not eligible to re-enroll with LadyBoss or have any financial interest in a or any LadyBoss business for six (6) months from the receipt of the written notice of termination. A terminated Champion who promotes LadyBoss products or services during the six (6) month waiting period by using another Champion’s or Customer’s referral code is in violation of the provision and shall not be permitted to re-enroll until six (6) months following any such offending conduct has ceased.

4.10     Involuntary Termination

  • ​a)     LadyBoss reserves the right to terminate a Champion’s position for, but not limited to, the following reasons:
  • ​(i)      Violation of any provision of the Champion Agreement;
  • ​(ii)     Violation of any applicable law, ordinance, or regulation related to the Champion’s LadyBoss business;
  • ​(iii)    Engaging in unethical business practices or violating standards of fair dealing; or
  • ​(iv)    Returning over $500 worth of LadyBoss products, services, and/or sales tools for a refund within a twelve (12) month period.
  • ​b)     LadyBoss will notify the Champion in writing via email, certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight documented mail, at the Champion’s last known address of LadyBoss’s intent to terminate the Champion’s position and the reasons for termination.

  • ​c)     The former Champion shall thereafter be prohibited from using the names, marks or signs, labels, stationery, advertising, or business material referring to or relating to any LadyBoss products or services. LadyBoss will notify the active Upline Champion within ten (10) days after termination. The Organization of the terminated Champion will “roll up” to the active Upline Champion on record.
  • ​d)     The Champion who is involuntarily terminated by LadyBoss may not re-enroll as a Champion, either under his or her present name or any other name or Business Entity, without the express written consent of an officer of LadyBoss, following a review by the LadyBoss Compliance Committee. If such consent is granted, the Champion may not re-enroll as a Champion for twelve (12) months following the date of termination.

7.0     DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS

7.1     Imposition of Disciplinary Action - Purpose

  • ​a)     It is the spirit of LadyBoss that integrity and fairness should pervade among its Champions, thereby providing everyone with an equal opportunity to build a successful business. Therefore, LadyBoss reserves the right to impose disciplinary sanctions at any time, when it has been determined that a Champion has violated the Champion Agreement, as may be amended from time to time by LadyBoss in accordance herewith.

7.2     Consequences and Remedies of Breach

  • ​a)     Disciplinary actions may include one or more of the following:
  • ​(i)      Monitoring a Champion’s conduct over a specified period of time to assure compliance;
  • ​(ii)     Alerting the Champion’s Upline so that the Upline may further educate Champion and/or take proactive action to protect the LadyBoss community from cross-Recruiting, disparagement, etc.;
  • ​(iii)    Issuance of a written warning or requiring the Champion to take immediate corrective action;
  • ​(iv)    Imposition of a fine (which may be imposed immediately or withheld from future commission payments) or the withholding of commission payments (“Commission Hold”) until the matter causing the Commission Hold is resolved or until LadyBoss receives adequate additional assurances from the Champion to ensure future compliance;
  • ​(v)     Suspension from participation in LadyBoss or Champion events, rewards, or recognition;
  • ​(vi)    Suspension of the Champion’s Account and position for one or more pay periods;
  • ​(vii)   Involuntary termination of the Champion's Account and position;
  • ​(viii)  Any other measure which LadyBoss deems feasible and appropriate to justly resolve injuries caused by the Champion’s violation(s); or
  • ​(ix)    Legal proceedings for monetary or equitable relief.

7.3     Suspension Procedures

  • ​a)     First Violation: Counseling and initial warning letter. A first violation usually occurs because the Champion is not familiar with the Policies and Procedures or the law. Counseling and the initial warning provide an opportunity for Compliance to bring to the attention of the Champion the Policies and Procedures and the specific violation, and to provide counseling on complying with the Policies and Procedures and applicable laws. The Compliance Department will also describe expectations and steps the Champion must take to resolve the violation including, but not limited to, either removing or revising the non-compliant claim or how to remedy other policy violations. Within three (3) days of this notice, Compliance will determine if the non-compliant material or other policy violation has been remediated. If so, Compliance will close the file. If not, Compliance will proceed to the 2nd Violation notice described below.
  • ​b)     Second Violation: Second warning letter and temporary suspension. Although it is hoped that the Champion will promptly correct the violation(s), LadyBoss recognizes that this may not always occur. The second written warning indicates the seriousness of repeated violations and will prompt a suspension of the Champion’s account. During the suspension period, the Champion waives any and all rights to Pay-Out of any bonuses or commissions and must submit a signed reinstatement letter wherein the Champion acknowledges the violation(s) and describes the steps taken to correct the violation(s). Once the reinstatement letter is accepted by LadyBoss, the suspension will be lifted, and the Champion will be able to request a Pay-Out. The Champion may be subject to additional discipline up to and including termination if the violation is not cured or further violation(s) occur.
  • ​c)     Third Violation: Suspension and final written warning. Repeated violation(s) of the Policies and Procedures is very problematic and potentially harmful. Therefore, the most effective and prudent action is the suspension of the Champion and forfeiture of commissions and bonuses associated with the offending Champion’s Account. The final written warning letter will include notification of such suspension, action needed to cure the violations(s), and an indication that if the Champion violates the Policies and Procedures again, the Champion will be terminated immediately.
  • ​d)     Fourth Violation: Termination. As described above, LadyBoss will try to exercise the progressive nature of the Discipline Policy by first providing warnings, a final written warning, and suspension and commissions forfeiture before proceeding to termination of the Champion’s Account. LadyBoss will notify the Champion in writing if/when the Account is terminated.
  • ​e)     LadyBoss reserves the right to combine and omit steps depending on the circumstances of each situation and the nature of the violation. Furthermore, the Champion may be terminated without prior notice or disciplinary action, as authorized by the Policies and Procedures.

  • ​H.     The Parties agree that all mediation communications are privileged and not subject to discovery or admissible in evidence in a proceeding unless waived or precluded by both Parties or unless the evidence would otherwise be admissible or subject to discovery if it were not by reason of its disclosure or use in mediation.
  • ​I.       Jurisdiction and venue of any controversy or claim brought under this mediation provision shall be in Collin County, Texas. The Parties further agree that the laws of the State of Texas shall govern all matters, claims, or controversy submitted to mediation pursuant to the Agreement.

8.4     Waiver
