12.9 Maintaining Downlines
 Should a Consultant fail to meet her monthly personal Retail sales minimum to receive an Override or other bonuses for six

became an Inactive Consultant, and her Buying Discount will drop to whatever it was at the time of her kit purchase.

consultant activates November 15, 2017 then their one‐year grace period ends on November 31, 2018 and if she
does not fulfill her retail sales minimums for six consecutive calendar months thereafter (by 11:59 PM EST on the

traditional procedures.
 A Consultant must fill out the leave of absence form, which can be obtained by contacting the Consultant Relations
Department, and submit the form to the Pure Romance Consultant Relations Department along with a doctor’s note or
documentation supporting her request. Please allow 48 hours once the corporate office receives the necessary paperwork to
process leave of absence request.
 If a leave of absence is needed for more than three months, a written request for an extension should be submitted to the
Pure Romance Consultant Relations Department before the original three months has expired.
 If a leave of absence is required due to active military deployment, the Consultant must submit her deployment
documentation containing dates of deployment to the Pure Romance Consultant Relations Department.
