Chapter 24: Forms and Administration

The following is a list of forms that are vital to each UnFranchise® Owner’s success in Market America. If you need assistance in completing any of these forms, contact your sponsor or upline Certified Executive Coordinator. Note: All of these forms are available on your UnFranchise Business Account, either as interactive processes (e.g. the sign-up process, which assumes the role of the Independent UnFranchise Owner Application and Agreement), as downloadable and printable forms (e.g. the Form 1000), or as both. Note: For any paper forms or correspondence that requires an original signature, Market America allows UnFranchise Owners who are physically challenged to use a signature stamp. The imprint of the signature stamp must be in blue ink so that it is obviously a stamped signature. UnFranchise Owners stamping their signature exhibit the stamp as their legal mark. 

Independent UnFranchise Owner Application and Agreement (Form 103): This form is used when applying for a Business Development Center to be entered into the Market America corporate database. Note: Sponsors may also sign up new UnFranchise Owners online by utilizing the sign-up process on their UnFranchise Business Account.

Independent UnFranchise Owner Product Order Form (Form 106): This form allows you to order products, create Business Volume in your BDC(s), and assign Business Volume downline to the initial BDC(s) of your personally sponsored UnFranchise Owners who are participating in Market America’s UnFranchise AutoShip Program. Note: UnFranchise Owners may also order online on their UnFranchise Business Account.

UnFranchise AutoShip Authorization and Order Form: This form allows you to set up your UnFranchise AutoShip order to help ensure that minimum activity requirements and components needed to exercise the Monthly Accrual Option are satisfied. Note: UnFranchise Owners may also set up UnFranchise AutoShip and affect changes to their UnFranchise AutoShip online on their UnFranchise Business Account.

UnFranchise Owner/Sales Representative Sales Report (Form 1000): This form, along with acceptable retail receipts, is used to verify sales to retail customers (i.e., end consumers) in order to meet sales requirements in accordance with the Management Performance Compensation Plan. Retail receipts should be two- or three-part carbonless forms. A copy of each receipt will be needed for your records, a copy will be needed for each Form 1000 submitted to Market America, and a copy should be given to your customer. Note: UnFranchise Owners may also submit Form 1000s online on their UnFranchise Business Accounts by utilizing registered Preferred Customer sales. Note: It is up to the sole discretion of Market America to determine the authenticity of submitted receipts. Submitted receipts must clearly show proof of at least two different retail sales to non-participants in the Market America Marketing Plan. Any receipts deemed unacceptable by Market America will be considered invalid and could cause the entire Form 1000 to be rendered invalid. 

Executive Coordinator Qualification and Application (Form 1001): This form certifies that the UnFranchise Owner understands and has met or intends to meet the requirements to earn subsequent commissions and bonuses in the Management Performance Compensation Plan. This form must be completed and submitted once and is incorporated annually in the Annual Renewal Form submission thereafter.

Executive Coordinator Acknowledgment and Agreement (Form 925): This form outlines the expectations and requirements of Coordinators by Market America. Read this agreement carefully. If you have any questions, contact your sponsor or upline Certified Executive Coordinator. Once you have read and agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement, complete the information of the agreement, and sign and date it. This form must be completed and submitted once and is incorporated annually in the Annual Renewal Form submission thereafter.

Annual Renewal Form (Form 1052): Once per calendar year you are required to submit an Annual Renewal Form. If you do not wish to participate in the Management Performance Compensation Plan, complete and submit the form without the Annual Renewal fee. If you wish to continue participating in the Management Performance Compensation Plan, complete and submit the form with the appropriate Annual Renewal fee. Note: Each UnFranchise Owners must pay his/her own Annual Renewal fee with an acceptable method of payment. No other person, current UnFranchise Owner or otherwise, may pay for your Annual Renewal fee.

UnFranchise Management System Agreement (Form 164): This form is used to subscribe to the UnFranchise Management System (UFMS), renew UFMS, or change credit card information on your current UFMS.

Placement or Linkage Correction Form: This form is used by UnFranchise Owners to correct placement or linkage problems. It is self-explanatory. If assistance is required, contact your upline Certified Executive Coordinator. Note: If an UnFranchise Owner has already been placed according to the Application and Agreement in an available spot in the genealogy, this form cannot be used to move the UnFranchise Owner to another placement. For information on this type of request, see Transfer of UnFranchise Owner to Another Genealogy Line.

UnFranchise Owner Profile Update Request Form: This form is used by UnFranchise Owners to change an address affecting their UnFranchise Business, and also for changes to phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses, and voice mail extensions.

UnFranchise AutoShip Cancellation Form: If you wish to cancel your UnFranchise AutoShip standing order so that UnFranchise AutoShip does not pull each month, complete this form and fax or mail to Market America. This form should not be used to cancel individual orders, including a particular month’s UnFranchise AutoShip order, because the use of this form will result in your entire UnFranchise AutoShip being canceled.

Note: UnFranchise Owners may also affect changes to their UnFranchise AutoShip online on their UnFranchise Business Accounts.
