Distributorship Participation

Policies governing participation in a distributorship are found in Sections 24 and 25 of the Terms & Policies. They provide, in part, that an Associate may operate; receive compensation from; or have an ownership interest, legal or equitable, as a sole proprietorship, partner, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary in only one USANA distributorship. However:

• Your spouse may become an Associate and operate a second distributorship as long your spouse’s distributorship is placed below one of your Business Centers and not in a crossline sales Team. The second business must be a bona fide independent business that is operated by the person listed on the agreement and not by the owner of the first business.
• If both you and your spouse had separate distributorships prior to marriage, you both can keep the distributorships if you submit a copy of the marriage certificate and new application form filled out with updated information to USANA.
• If a distributorship is inherited by succession, USANA will need proof of death, proof of succession, and a new application.

When an Associate account is transferred through a Transfer of Distributorship or succession, the new account owner is accepting the business as is. Thus, the Premier PaceSetter or Premier Platinum PaceSetter status or lack thereof, and anniversary date for qualification for PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter will remain the same after the the transfer.
