Frequently Asked Questions
Ambassadors
The Erth ™ Ambassador assists the Business owner to find marketing material and templates that can be found in the online platform.
No, Erth ™ Marketing does not offer exclusivity. An Erth ™ Ambassador may agree to hold off for a certain period in contacting the Business’s direct competitor, but that Ambassador cannot stop any Business from joining directly or through another Erth ™ Ambassador.
Yes, the Erth ™ Ambassador income is split 50/50 from the Business side and the Supporter side of the transaction even though the Business pays all the money. This encourages Ambassadors to sign up for both Businesses – large and small, and Supporters (Especially Supporters through the CCC’s).
Yes, the ECO or Business can become an Erth ™ Ambassador and become part of the Affiliate Marketing Program. They can then join other Businesses or ECOs to the Erth ™ Point System and earn through the Affiliate Marketing Program.
A Supporter, ECO or Business that is part of Erth ™ Point System decides they want to do more to help save the Planet and support ECOs. They earn a small residual income via Erth ™ Points. Erth ™ Ambassadors encourage ECOs, their Supporters, Businesses, and individuals to become part of the Erth ™ Point System and they earn a small portion from every transaction that is completed from parties that join the System that are within their network.
They explain the benefits of the Erth ™ Point System to Businesses, ECOs, ECO Supporters and individuals. They assist ECOs and Businesses in how they can benefit from getting Supporters into the System. They also show Businesses how they can make more sales and the ECOs can earn more residual income. They also explain the added benefits that are available to those that become Erth ™ Ambassadors and they train those Ambassadors so all parties can benefit while we all help to save the Planet. From doing that, the Erth ™ Ambassadors earn a small percentage of all sales made within their network – paid in Erth ™ Points.
An Erth ™ Ambassador benefits by joining ECOs, Supporters, Businesses, and other Erth ™ Ambassadors. When goods and services are sold to Supporters of the Erth ™ Point system, the Erth ™ Ambassador (Affiliate Marketer) will receive a small percentage of each transaction whenever the Business or the Supporter is in the Ambassador 6-level network. The Ambassador also receives part of the joining fee paid from any Business they join into the Erth ™ Point System.
Any person or entity must have an ABN to become an Erth ™ Ambassador.
An Erth ™ Ambassador earns income when Supporters spend money at participating Businesses if either the Business or Supporter is in the Erth ™ Ambassadors 6-level network. So, the more ECOs, Businesses, Supporters and Erth ™ Ambassadors that are part of an Erth ™ Ambassador’s network, the more the Erth ™ Ambassador can earn. So, the answer is the more the better.
When an Erth ™ Point Supporter shops at a participating retailer, and either the Business or the Supporter is in the Ambassadors direct 6-level network, the Erth ™ Ambassador gets rewarded with a percentage of the sale price in Erth ™ Points (based on the sale amount of the customer to that business). An Erth ™ Ambassador gets paid based on Supporters and/or Businesses in their network (up to six levels deep) in Erth ™ Points. The Erth ™ Ambassador can also earn Erth ™ Points if one of the Ambassadors in their network purchases training programs or other products through the System. The Erth ™ Ambassador receives a fee paid in Erth ™ Points for every Business they join into the Rewards4Earth ™ System.
There is no maximum to the number of Businesses an Erth ™ Ambassador can join.
It will be assessed at the end of one year and if an Erth ™ Ambassador has no activity, has signed no Ambassadors, no Supporters and no Businesses into the system that produce them more than $20 per week paid in Erth ™ Points they will no longer be able to be an Erth ™ Ambassador. This may be reassessed for fairness on appeal.
Yes, any business that sells a legal product or service can join the Erth ™ Point Program with an Erth ™ Ambassador – the more the better.
No, they are not an investment, and they never will be. They are an Exchange-traded Loyalty Point and promoting them as an investment would be breaking the law as it could be giving financial advice without a License, and you could be criminally charged.
Yes, some ECOs are also Businesses, so they can be joined as a Business as well as an ECO or Beneficiary. ECOs must be vetted through Austrac, the Australian Federal Police and other statutory requirements to ensure they are not Terrorist organisations, political parties or other operations prevented from being Beneficiaries of the Erth ™ Point System. Ensuring they are compliant does take a bit longer. Whereas Businesses can join instantly as they are paying us.
Whilst we provide extensive training via the training platform and weekly calls, an Erth ™ Ambassador needs to add to this to ensure their network of Erth ™ Ambassadors understands how to join ECOs, Supporters, Businesses and new Erth ™ Ambassadors into the program.
a) Businesses only pay for performance (Sales), using our PAY-per-SALE System instead of the PAY-per-CLICK System from other Online Marketing Programs which may or may not result in the Business making sales.
b) Supporters support their ECO by shopping at participating Businesses as the ECOearns the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter.
c) The Customers own the Erth ™ Points and can collect them from any participating Business worldwide. The Erth ™ Points can increase/decrease in value to benefit the Supporter. The Erth ™ Points can be exchanged for goods/services at any Business that accepts them worldwide.
d) The Planet gets rewarded with the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter via the Foundation with a small part of every transaction made whenever a Supporter spends money at any participating Business
e) Erth ™ Points work as a Customer Attraction System to attract ECO Supporters.
f) Erth ™ Points act as a Customer Retention System to keep Supporters coming back to buy again and again.
g) The system benefits Businesses, Customers, ECOs, ECO Supporters and the Planet.
h) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Environment.
i) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Community.
j) ECOs benefit from their loyal Supporters shopping at participating Businesses as they receive a percentage of the sale price paid in Erth ™ Points which they can sell in local currency for residual income.
k) In summary Businesses only pay if a Supporter purchases something and the Businesses are encouraging Customers to return while they support ECOs and the Planet.
Yes, you can explain the Points are traded on Exchanges – ECOs need to sell their gifted Erth ™ Points (Supply) to earn their Passive Income, and Businesses need to purchase Erth ™ Points (Demand) to gift to Customers, ECOs, the Erth ™ Ambassador Network and the Planet as a reward for purchasing, as an ‘ecosystem’ based on supply and demand.
No, because an Erth ™ Ambassador is only recommending a Marketing System to Businesses, and they are not selling a financial services product. They have no requirement to have any qualifications.
Yes, the Ambassador can speak about Speculators that may trade on Exchanges as a matter of full disclosure. The Erth ™ Ambassador however cannot recommend, advise, influence, or cause anyone to speculate on Erth ™ Points. If a Business owner wishes to purchase Erth ™ Points, they can do so via their Erth ™ Point BIZ App. The Erth ™ Ambassador is not licensed to provide any financial advice and therefore cannot influence speculation to any person. Business owners can purchase enough Erth ™ Points to last them an hour, a day or for any time-period they like – it is their decision. A Business is a Speculator by nature. They buy goods and/or services at a low price and sell them at a higher price – that is how they make money. If a Business decides to do that with Erth ™ Points, that is their prerogative. However, it cannot be from the influence or instigation of an Erth ™ Ambassador. Although Businesses are not covered by financial services law, the Business owner is a “person” and even though we only allow entities with an ABN to purchase Erth ™ Points, an Erth ™ Ambassador does not want to be a test case regarding these laws.
The demand for Erth ™ Points comes from Businesses continuously rewarding Customers with each qualifying purchase. The supply comes from the ECOs, Rewards4Earth ™ and the Foundation selling their Points. End-users are Consumers, and as such, they hold Erth ™ Points out of the marketplace in the same way a Consumer takes a diamond out of the diamond market by keeping it on a ring. The diamond can re-enter the market at any time. The price of Erth ™ Points will be determined in a large part from the demand created from Businesses gifting them to attract Customers and from any speculation.
Yes, as a Franchisee sells products and/or services like any other Business, any Franchisee can join the Erth ™ Point Program. Some will have to check their Franchise agreements.
Businesses
They download the Erth ™ Point BIZ App from Google Play or iTunes, put in their ABN, and pay the $200.00 joining fee. This gives the Business a $50.00 credit for Erth ™ Point Marketing which enables automatic credit of Erth ™ Points to the Customer, their nominated ECO, the Planet and the Erth ™ Ambassador Network (if the Customer uses a registered Debit/Credit Card). Plus the Business also receives $50.00 worth of Erth ™ Points for Cash or non-credit card transactions.
A Merchant Facility Number is a number the Business has that identifies them to the payment gateway that accepts credit/debit and credit card payments.
a) The business gifts Erth ™ Rewards Points to the Customer, the Customer’s ECO and the Planet as a way of saying ‘thank you’ for shopping with their Business.
b) It means gifting Erth ™ Points in the Reverse Mining System like a Carbon Offset Program.
The Supporter visits a participating Business and uses their registered credit card or debit card and pays as they normally would. The technology takes care of the rest. So all parties receive their Erth ™ Points seamlessly. If it is a cash sale, the Business can gift Erth ™ Points via the BIZ App.
The Business joins and pays the $200.00 joining fee and gets $50.00 credit for marketing services where Erth ™ Points are automatically gifted as a percentage of each sale. Plus $50.00 worth of Erth ™ Points for cash or non-payment gateway sales. If, as an example, the Business agreed to pay 5% of a sale price for delivering a Customer and sale (marketing). If the purchase price from the Business was $200.00 and they agreed to pay 5% (=$10) for marketing services, then their account would be charged $10.00 from their $50 balance so they would now have a balance of $40.00. If their next transaction was for $100.00, then they would be charged the same 5% – being $5.00 and their account balance would be now $35.00. From that payment, Erth ™ Marketing would use 80% of that amount to purchase Erth ™ Points from the Exchange that are sent to the Customer, their ECO, the Planet and the Ambassador Network. Once the credit amount of the Business gets below $20.00, another $50.00 is paid by Direct Debit from the Business’s bank account so the Business is always able to gift Erth ™ Points and maybe get the tax deduction for using the System. The “AI” built into the System will automatically increase the purchase amount so that the Business only purchases credits once a day or once a week. The Business can choose – based on the value of transactions occurring. This System is used so Businesses are not purchasing $0.10 here and $0.40 there 100 times a day and making the whole thing an accounting nightmare. It also saves the Business fees on transaction costs and accounting as they do not have to account for capital gains or losses when the Erth ™ Points increase or decrease in value over the financial year.
Any legal business that sells a product or a service.
They go to the Erth ™ Ambassador website, sign in with their ABN (it is easy to apply for one if they do not have one), and they pay their enrolment fee. Then they complete the mandatory course and questionnaire, and then they can become an accredited Erth ™ Ambassador.
They manage their Erth ™ Points via the App. They can save them or use them as they desire. They can check the value via one of the Exchanges. The only thing they cannot do is recommend someone buys them as an investment, as that would be giving financial advice without a license.
Yes, discussing how the value of the Erth ™ Points is determined by supply and demand and will constantly fluctuate is essential as they need to know it is not a fixed price item. If, however you recommend it as an investment in that it will/should increase in value, that is very different and that could be seen as giving them financial advice and is not allowed. The price is irrelevant to them as a marketing service, as they are buying marketing services and a credit of Erth ™ Points valued at the time of the gifting of the Erth ™ Points to a Supporter. In most cases they will have purchased a credit for Marketing Services – perhaps $100 – and not actual Erth ™ Points, which are gifted as a percentage of the Supporters purchase price. As an example, if the Business agreed to a 4% PAY-per-SALE fee, the Supporter may receive $5 worth of Erth ™ Points which may be 1.0000 Erth ™ Points one day and because of the change in value of Erth ™ Points, the Supporter may receive 1.2234 Erth ™ Points or 0.8888 Erth ™ Points the next day. Regardless, it is still $5 worth o Erth ™ Points. The easiest way to think of it is like giving away a USD$1 as that may be worth AUD$1.00 one day and AUD$0.72 the next day – it is still USD$1 however. The prevailing market price of Erth ™ Points is irrelevant and only the quantity of Erth ™ Points gifted will differ. They will also be pleased to know that they will not have to worry about capital gains and losses on the Erth ™ Points for their tax, and that it is a marketing expense and therefore may be tax deductible. If, however they want to purchase Erth ™ Points for non-credit/debit card payments, such as Cash or Electronic Transfer Payments, they will have to purchase Erth ™ Points through our Exchange and they will fluctuate in value. If the Business owner thinks Erth ™ Points will decrease in value, they may want to purchase the minimum $20 worth. If, however, they think the price of Erth ™ Points will increase in value, they may want to buy enough for a week, month, or even a year’s worth, that is their decision and they would make similar purchasing decisions on any items they want to sell, it is the Business’s decision and we do not offer advice.
a) To attract more Customers who are Supporters of ECOs and the Environment.
b) Access to their VIP Customers via the FREE App using push notifications.
c) Save money on Marketing.
d) The business only pays when a sale is made instead of paying per click.
e) Supports their local ECOs.
f) Supports their Customers with special VIP offers via the App.
g) Be part of the solution to saving the Planet.
h) Be a socially conscious Business.
A minimum of 3% of the sale price when a Supporter spends money with them.
a) The Business does a lot of cash transactions.
b) The Business does a lot of Business-to-Business transactions and would like its products to be seen to be saving the Planet and thereby gifting Erth ™ Points to their Retail Distributors. The Business believes that will assist them to make more sales as the Retailers give those Erth ™ Points to their Customers.
c) The Business collects a lot of payments via Electronic Banking via Account and BSB.
d) The Business sells to Retailers and not directly to the public such as Coca-Cola, but would also like to be able to contact their Customers directly via the App to encourage recycling and to offer the Customers as VIP Customers of Coca-Cola.
e) The Business specialises in trading, buying low and selling high, and would like to do that with Erth ™ Points and it is not something you as an Erth ™ Ambassador has recommended or advised.
f) The Business would like to buy a year’s supply of Erth ™ Points as they believe they could increase in value, and it will save them money from purchasing the Erth ™ Points at a later date at a higher price.
The Business makes money using the Erth ™ Point System by attracting new Customers that are Erth ™ Supporters they wouldn’t have had before, and only paying when that Customer purchases something. The Business can also send their VIP Customers push notifications to increase sales. The Business can also save on other digital marketing expenses by only paying on SALES rather than paying for CLICKS.
The Erth ™ Ambassador assists the Business owner to find marketing material and templates that can be found in the online platform.
No, but the Business can gift the Supporter points directly to the customers’ App using their BIZ App by manually filling in the purchase amounts and scanning the Supporter’s individual QR Code.
A Business can increase or decrease their prices anytime they choose to as the Erth ™ Point System does not get involved in the way Businesses are operated. A Business may find that it will lose Customers if it increases its prices, however. Most Businesses spend a percentage of their sales on Marketing to attract and retain Customers and that is where the money from Erth ™ Points should be allocated from. As the Business only spends money with Erth ™ Marketing if it makes a sale, it is possible the Business will save money on Marketing, as it is not paying for any Clicks which may or may not result in sales.
No, Erth ™ Marketing does not offer exclusivity. An Erth ™ Ambassador may agree to hold off for a certain period in contacting the Business’s direct competitor, but that Ambassador cannot stop any Business from joining directly or through another Erth ™ Ambassador.
Yes, they can have a QR code on their counter for people to scan or they can simply give them instructions to go to the iTunes or Play store to download the Erth ™ Point App so that the Customer becomes a VIP Customer and receive special offers.
Yes, the Business can advertise special offers, or advertise that it offers Erth ™ Points on the System to attract Supporters. The Business can also ask their Customers to join the Business’s VIP Program so that it to complies with privacy laws. The Business can then send the Customer VIP push notifications once a week. The Customer can however choose to change the frequency of push notifications they are willing to receive from a Business.
The business pays $200. After that, they only pay a minimum of 3% on a PAY-per-SALE basis as sales are occurring to Supporters using the System.
Erth ™ Businesses will be listed in the search and location directory which has maps, directions, and contact details for the Business.
The business can join the Erth ™ Point Program and continue with any other Program they are using. It works with any and all Systems. We do not ask for exclusivity.
In most cases using our standard System, the Business does not purchase Erth ™ Points. When an Erth ™ Supporter uses their card at a participating Retailer or Service Provider, it triggers the Business to pay for marketing services. From the amount paid, 80% of that is used by Erth ™ Marketing (the Company) to purchase Erth ™ Points from the Exchange at market price. The points are then gifted to their Customer, the Customers CCC, the Rewards4Earth™ Foundation and the Erth ™Ambassador Network. The Business pays via the debit/credit System for marketing and not for Erth ™ Points.
A Business can however buy Erth ™ Points if they want to use them in the BIZ App which also operates as an Erth ™ Point payment or redemption service. By doing this, a Business is collecting Erth ™ Points paid for from other Business’s marketing budgets.
Supporters can earn Erth ™ Points at Businesses but not all those Businesses accept Erth ™ Points as a payment System. Some businesses pay through external Affiliate Marketing Programs. They only agree to pay us on a PAY-per-SALE basis and not accept Erth ™ Points as a payment. This provides an opportunity for the Erth ™ Ambassador to sign these Businesses up to the System and earn from all complying transactions. We will have lists of Businesses that are signed up directly to the System. A Business not on this list may still be gifting Points but misses out on other benefits such as our VIP Customer Service allowing them to market to those Customers. Erth ™ Ambassadors should be looking to sign as many Businesses into the System as possible if they are not on the list. Please be aware that just because a Business is in our directory for gifting Points, they may not be on the list of Businesses signed directly to Erth ™ Marketing. Customers can use the Concierge Service which will be available to purchase goods and services from any participating Business worldwide.
The Erth ™ Ambassador helps the Business to get Erth ™ Supporters using marketing material, suggested campaigns and VIP offers, and ensuring they are listed on the website and Google location maps. The Business can start by getting all its Customers to join the System. The Business can also make referrals to local Causes and other Businesses so that all parties benefit from the System. The Business could also do a joint promotion with a local ECO so all parties benefit including the ECO Supporter.
The Business can track via their BIZ App or on the Erth ™ Marketing Website all revenue where Erth ™ Points have been allocated. The Business will receive a monthly statement via email showing the sales made through the System. The Business can see all the sales made where Erth ™ Points have been gifted. Another concern to the business may be what would happen if they stopped using the System. Would those Customers go to other competing Businesses that are helping to save the Planet and supporting their Customer’s favourite ECO?
The Supporter will receive a message on their App telling them that they did not receive their Erth ™ Points from that Business and that the Business is no longer supporting their ECO or helping to save the Planet through the Erth ™ Point System.
a) The Business can attract and make sales to ECO Supporters that they would not normally make.
b) The Business can attract and make sales to Erth ™ Point and Environmental Supporters that they would not normally make.
c) The Business can save on marketing as they only PAY-per-SALE rather than per-CLICK.
d) The Business can make more sales, get more loyal Customers, help save the Planet by supporting both local, national, and international ECOs.
e) The Business can advertise specials through the App to attract Supporters and only pay if they make a sale.
f) The Business can get some of their Customers into their Erth ™ Point VIP Customer System and send them special offers and only pay if the VIP buys something.
g) The Business can use the Erth ™ Point System like a traditional loyalty program to get Customers to purchase from them again and again.
h) The Business can work with ECOs to offer their Supporters special offers sent out by the ECO rather than the Business so the ECO, the Business and the ECO’s Supporter all benefit.
i) The Business can advertise that they are supporting the Planet and the ECOs with other advertising or marketing mediums to attract other Customers.
j) The Business can offer special incentives for Supporters to spend Erth ™ Points that were collected at other Businesses and gain extra sales they would not have had and then sell those Erth ™ Points in Exchange for local currency.
k) The Business can use their Erth ™ Points to purchase from other Businesses.
Yes and no. The $50 worth of Erth ™ Points that is held by the Business for cash sales will fluctuate in value. Therefore they could make or lose money with them. With the $50 credit that they have for marketing, the Business will not lose with this as the Erth ™ Points are allocated at the time of transaction at market value and only the number of Erth ™ Points issued will vary.
Yes, any business that sells a product or service can join whether they are a Franchise, or an owner-operated Business or a multi-national Business. The individual Franchise agreements may however have provisions that will need to be cleared with their Head Office. It would however be rare that a Franchisor does not want their offices to be seen to be supporting ECOs or helping to save the Planet.
Yes, the ECO or Business can become an Erth ™ Ambassador and become part of the Affiliate Marketing Program. They can then join other Businesses or ECOs to the Erth ™ Point System and earn through the Affiliate Marketing Program.
No, we treat that as a benefit, reward, or gift to the Business for being part of the System.
The Customer may choose to let the business know if they wish. When they pay their bill, Points will automatically be transferred to the Customer and the employee may not even know they have gifted Erth ™ Points. Some Businesses pay for their Erth ™ Points through Affiliate Marketing Companies and will not even know they have paid for the Erth ™ Points. Other Businesses will reap the benefits of full Erth ™ Point Membership and that they are part of the Erth ™ Point System and they are gifting Erth ™ Points. We believe most Businesses will want to be part of the Erth ™ Point System eventually as more and more supporters of ECOs and the Planet join the System.
$200 – and they receive with that $50 worth of Erth ™ Points for Cash or non-card payments and a $50 credit for Marketing where Erth ™ Points are automatically gifted with credit/debit card purchases so the Business is not concerned with fluctuations in the value of Erth ™ Points.
Erth ™ Marketing keeps 20% of the Gross fee. If the fee collected was $5.00, then Erth ™ Marketing retains $1.00 (20%) and purchases $4.00 worth of Erth ™ Points from Exchanges with 30% ($1.20) going to the Supporter that made the purchase, 30% ($1.20) going to the Supporters nominated ECO, 30% ($1.20) going to the Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation, and 10% ($0.40) going to the Erth ™ Ambassador Network.
a) Businesses only pay for performance (Sales), using our PAY-per-SALE System instead of the PAY-per-CLICK System from other Online Marketing Programs which may or may not result in the Business making sales.
b) Supporters support their ECO by shopping at participating Businesses as the ECOearns the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter.

i) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Community.
j) ECOs benefit from their loyal Supporters shopping at participating Businesses as they receive a percentage of the sale price paid in Erth ™ Points which they can sell in local currency for residual income.
k) In summary Businesses only pay if a Supporter purchases something and the Businesses are encouraging Customers to return while they support ECOs and the Planet.
If the different locations are Franchise owned, each Business pays $200 to join the Erth ™ Point Program, as all Businesses operate different POS Systems and have different Merchant ID numbers and are different Companies. If one entity owns all the locations, they only have to pay once, but they will have to supply all Merchant ID numbers to that one account.
CCC's
ECO – Environmental and/or Community Organisations that earn Erth ™ Points when one of their Supporters shops at a participating Business where Erth ™ Points can be earned.
They benefit when any Supporter chooses them on the Erth ™ Point App. Each time that the Supporter shops at a participating Business, the nominated ECO is rewarded in Erth ™ Points which they can then sell to Businesses to create a passive income.
They benefit each time a Supporter of their ECO buys goods or services from a participating Business of the Erth ™ Point Program. They receive a small percentage of the sale price in Erth ™ Points from each transaction which can be accumulated and then sold on an Exchange and convert into local currency. Or, they can be used to pay for goods and services at any Business that accepts them.
Erth ™ Points make it possible for ECOs to monetise the loyalty and patronage of their Supporters and Members. By introducing ECO Supporters to Businesses on a PAY-per-SALE basis, ECOs can use their pre-existing loyalty to create a new revenue source. Making their Supporters a powerful monetisable asset.
Yes, the Supporter chooses who they would like to be their beneficiary. They have the option to change their beneficiary (ECO) as they wish at any time.
Yes, some ECOs are also Businesses, so they can be joined as a Business as well as an ECO or Beneficiary. ECOs must be vetted through Austrac , the Australian Federal Police and other statutory requirements to ensure they are not Terrorist organisations, political parties or other operations prevented from being Beneficiaries of the Erth ™ Point System. To ensure they are compliant does take a bit longer. Whereas Businesses can join instantly as they are paying us.

Yes, it’s possible to reduce the business marketing costs. The Business can market via the App to attract Supporters of all ECOs as well as directly market to their VIP Customers. The most important thing is the Business pays only when a sale is made and not when a potential Customer ‘clicks’ on an advertisement which may not result in a sale.
No, they have opposing objectives to make profits. The Business that pays for the CLICKS will make more profit if fewer CLICKS are paid for per sale. The big Marketing Companies make more profit if more CLICKS are paid for per sale. They do not have aligned Profit and CLICK objectives; they are totally opposing.

Rewards4Earth ™ places tranches of Erth ™ Points on Exchanges at continually increasing prices known as “Sell Orders”. Once the tranche of perhaps 10,000 Erth ™ Points has been sold at say $10, the next tranche will come on at $20. This will not be below the previous selling price, thereby enabling supply of Erth ™ Points only when demand requires them. If the price of Erth ™ Points falls, then Rewards4Earth ™ will not sell any Erth ™ Points until the price comes up to the price of the previously unsold Erth ™ Points nominated on the “Sell Orders”. Rewards4Earth ™ will also be making donations of either Erth ™Points and/or profits to the Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation to ensure that the majority of profits made goes to help save the Planet rather than to a few wealthy shareholders.
$200 – and they receive with that $50 worth of Erth ™ Points for Cash or non-card payments and a $50 credit for Marketing where Erth ™ Points are automatically gifted with credit/debit card purchases so the Business is not concerned with fluctuations in the value of Erth ™ Points.
Erth ™ Marketing keeps 20% of the Gross fee. If the fee collected was $5.00, then Erth ™ Marketing retains $1.00 (20%) and purchases $4.00 worth of Erth ™ Points from Exchanges with 30% ($1.20) going to the Supporter that made the purchase, 30% ($1.20) going to the Supporters nominated ECO, 30% ($1.20) going to the Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation, and 10% ($0.40) going to the Erth ™ Ambassador Network.
a) Businesses only pay for performance (Sales), using our PAY-per-SALE System instead of the PAY-per-CLICK System from other Online Marketing Programs which may or may not result in the Business making sales.
b) Supporters support their ECO by shopping at participating Businesses as the ECOearns the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter.
c) The Customers own the Erth ™ Points and can collect them from any participating Business worldwide. The Erth ™ Points can increase/decrease in value to benefit the Supporter. The Erth ™ Points can be exchanged for goods/services at any Business that accepts them worldwide.
d) The Planet gets rewarded with the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter via the Foundation with a small part of every transaction made whenever a Supporter spends money at any participating Business
e) Erth ™ Points work as a Customer Attraction System to attract ECO Supporters.
f) Erth ™ Points act as a Customer Retention System to keep Supporters coming back to buy again and again.
g) The system benefits Businesses, Customers, ECOs, ECO Supporters and the Planet.
h) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Environment.
i) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Community.
j) ECOs benefit from their loyal Supporters shopping at participating Businesses as they receive a percentage of the sale price paid in Erth ™ Points which they can sell in local currency for residual income.
k) In summary Businesses only pay if a Supporter purchases something and the Businesses are encouraging Customers to return while they support ECOs and the Planet.
The demand for Erth ™ Points comes from Businesses continuously rewarding Customers with each qualifying purchase. The supply comes from the ECOs, Rewards4Earth ™ and the Foundation selling their Points. End-users are Consumers, and as such, they hold Erth ™ Points out of the marketplace in the same way a Consumer takes a diamond out of the diamond market by keeping it on a ring. The diamond can re-enter the market at any time. The price of Erth ™ Points will be determined in a large part from the demand created from Businesses gifting them to attract Customers and from any speculation.
Erth ™ Points
a) The business gifts Erth ™ Rewards Points to the Customer, the Customer’s ECO and the Planet as a way of saying ‘thank you’ for shopping with their Business.
b) It means gifting Erth ™ Points in the Reverse Mining System like a Carbon Offset Program.
The Supporter visits a participating Business and uses their registered credit card or debit card and pays as they normally would. The technology takes care of the rest. So all parties receive their Erth ™ Points seamlessly. If it is a cash sale, the Business can gift Erth ™ Points via the BIZ App.
Yes, discussing how the value of the Erth ™ Points is determined by supply and demand and will constantly fluctuate is essential as they need to know it is not a fixed price item. If, however you recommend it as an investment in that it will/should increase in value, that is very different and that could be seen as giving them financial advice and is not allowed. The price is irrelevant to them as a marketing service, as they are buying marketing services and a credit of Erth ™ Points valued at the time of the gifting of the Erth ™ Points to a Supporter. In most cases they will have purchased a credit for Marketing Services – perhaps $100 – and not actual Erth ™ Points, which are gifted as a percentage of the Supporters purchase price. As an example, if the Business agreed to a 4% PAY-per-SALE fee, the Supporter may receive $5 worth of Erth ™ Points which may be 1.0000 Erth ™ Points one day and because of the change in value of Erth ™ Points, the Supporter may receive 1.2234 Erth ™ Points or 0.8888 Erth ™ Points the next day. Regardless, it is still $5 worth o Erth ™ Points. The easiest way to think of it is like giving away a USD$1 as that may be worth AUD$1.00 one day and AUD$0.72 the next day – it is still USD$1 however. The prevailing market price of Erth ™ Points is irrelevant and only the quantity of Erth ™ Points gifted will differ. They will also be pleased to know that they will not have to worry about capital gains and losses on the Erth ™ Points for their tax, and that it is a marketing expense and therefore may be tax deductible. If, however they want to purchase Erth ™ Points for non-credit/debit card payments, such as Cash or Electronic Transfer Payments, they will have to purchase Erth ™ Points through our Exchange and they will fluctuate in value. If the Business owner thinks Erth ™ Points will decrease in value, they may want to purchase the minimum $20 worth. If, however, they think the price of Erth ™ Points will increase in value, they may want to buy enough for a week, month, or even a year’s worth, that is their decision and they would make similar purchasing decisions on any items they want to sell, it is the Business’s decision and we do not offer advice.
In most cases using our standard System, the Business does not purchase Erth ™ Points. When an Erth ™ Supporter uses their card at a participating Retailer or Service Provider, it triggers the Business to pay for marketing services. From the amount paid, 80% of that is used by Erth ™ Marketing (the Company) to purchase Erth ™ Points from the Exchange at market price. The points are then gifted to their Customer, the Customers CCC, the Rewards4Earth™ Foundation and the Erth ™Ambassador Network. The Business pays via the debit/credit System for marketing and not for Erth ™ Points.
A Business can however buy Erth ™ Points if they want to use them in the BIZ App which also operates as an Erth ™ Point payment or redemption service. By doing this, a Business is collecting Erth ™ Points paid for from other Business’s marketing budgets.
Supporters can earn Erth ™ Points at Businesses but not all those Businesses accept Erth ™ Points as a payment System. Some businesses pay through external Affiliate Marketing Programs. They only agree to pay us on a PAY-per-SALE basis and not accept Erth ™ Points as a payment. This provides an opportunity for the Erth ™ Ambassador to sign these Businesses up to the System and earn from all complying transactions. We will have lists of Businesses that are signed up directly to the System. A Business not on this list may still be gifting Points but misses out on other benefits such as our VIP Customer Service allowing them to market to those Customers. Erth ™ Ambassadors should be looking to sign as many Businesses into the System as possible if they are not on the list. Please be aware that just because a Business is in our directory for gifting Points, they may not be on the list of Businesses signed directly to Erth ™ Marketing. Customers can use the Concierge Service which will be available to purchase goods and services from any participating Business worldwide.

a) A digital Reward Point that is owned by the Customer and not the Business that gifted the Reward Point.

c) A Reward Point that can go down in value like other reward points but can also increase in value, unlike other Reward Points.
d) A Reward Point like flybuys.
e) A Reward Point like Frequent Flyers.

j) A combined Customer attraction and retention Marketing system for Businesses.
k) A Reward Point that enables ECOs to monetise their loyalty and earn a passive income from their Supporters everyday spending.
l) Arguably the worlds best Loyalty Reward Marketing Point.
No, Erth ™ Points are not Shares, they are not Securities, they are not Units in a Trust, and they offer no Dividends, no ownership of the Company, nor do they offer any voting rights. They do not have a yield. They are simply electronically traded Loyalty Reward Points.
No, they are not an Investment and they never will be. They are an Exchange-traded Loyalty Point System and promoting them as an investment could be breaking the law as it could be giving financial advice without a License.
No, the Customer owns the Points and can collect them from any participating Business.
Erth ™ Point value is based on the pricing principles of the free market and is determined by supply and demand on international Digital Exchanges. The price fluctuates which means the price of the Erth ™ Point can and will go up or down.
To enable a small part of every sale from every Business to every Customer in the world to help SAVE the PLANET, while simultaneously helping Businesses to make sales and provide them with a Customer Loyalty Retention System. To enable ECOs to monetise their loyalty and earn a passive income from their Supporter’s spending.
Most Businesses are unaware of th Erth ™ Point System and all the benefits it offers. This is a positive thing for Erth ™ Ambassadors, as they can join Businesses into their network and earn residual income once the Business signs up to the System – so the Business, the Customer, the ECOs, the Ambassadors and the Planet can benefit.
No, using our standard system, if the transaction is $50.00 and the Business sends 4% equal to $2.00 to Erth ™ Marketing, then 80% of that money equal to $1.60 is used to purchase Erth ™ Points at market price. The only thing that changes is the number of points gifted to the Customers and other parties. They may have got 1.0020 Erth ™ Points or 0.0205 or 3.0455 Erth ™ Points – depending on the value of Erth ™ Points at the time of the transaction. Either way, it is still the same value ($1.60) worth of Erth ™ Points that are gifted in return for the purchase. The Customer will have benefited if the Erth ™ Points gifted to them have increased in value over time rather than the Business.
a) They have not been marketed as an investment by the Company or any of its team.
b) They are being used for their intended use and as per the Forman Precedent – Security Laws do not apply.
c) In most instances, and in most countries, loyalty points are exempt from being a Security.
d) Under the Howey test or precedent, there has been no “Investment Contract” as the Customer did not purchase them, but was gifted them as part of a purchase.
e) There are NO dividends, yields, voting rights, returns, promissory notes, ownership of a Business or Company or Trust, inducement as an investment or any other attribute relevant to the definition of a Security under US Law present in an Erth ™ Point.
f) In a similar way to BTC and ETH which are traded on exchanges, they also are not securities.
g) There has been no marketing done to imply they will increase in value unless the reference also explains they can also decrease in value.
Demand comes from Businesses continuously purchasing Erth ™ Points from Exchanges to reward their Customers with each qualifying purchase. Supply comes from ECOs, Rewards4Earth ™ and/or the Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation selling their points.
Planet Earth benefits when a Supporter of the Erth ™ Point System shops at a participating Business. The Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation receives a small percentage of each financial transaction in Erth ™ Points – the same as the Customer does. The Erth ™ Points are then exchanged for local currency or used to pay for goods and/or services to help save the Planet. Planet Earth also benefits when a Business purchases Erth ™ Points as part of their Reverse Mining Incentive (a Carbon Offset Program).
a) Businesses only pay for performance (Sales), using our PAY-per-SALE System instead of the PAY-per-CLICK System from other Online Marketing Programs which may or may not result in the Business making sales.
b) Supporters support their ECO by shopping at participating Businesses as the ECOearns the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter.
c) The Customers own the Erth ™ Points and can collect them from any participating Business worldwide. The Erth ™ Points can increase/decrease in value to benefit the Supporter. The Erth ™ Points can be exchanged for goods/services at any Business that accepts them worldwide.
d) The Planet gets rewarded with the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter via the Foundation with a small part of every transaction made whenever a Supporter spends money at any participating Business
e) Erth ™ Points work as a Customer Attraction System to attract ECO Supporters.
f) Erth ™ Points act as a Customer Retention System to keep Supporters coming back to buy again and again.
g) The system benefits Businesses, Customers, ECOs, ECO Supporters and the Planet.
h) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Environment.
i) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Community.
j) ECOs benefit from their loyal Supporters shopping at participating Businesses as they receive a percentage of the sale price paid in Erth ™ Points which they can sell in local currency for residual income.
k) In summary Businesses only pay if a Supporter purchases something and the Businesses are encouraging Customers to return while they support ECOs and the Planet.
Yes, you can explain the Points are traded on Exchanges – ECOs need to sell their gifted Erth ™ Points (Supply) to earn their Passive Income, and Businesses need to purchase Erth ™ Points (Demand) to gift to Customers, ECOs, the Erth ™ Ambassador Network and the Planet as a reward for purchasing, as an ‘ecosystem’ based on supply and demand.
The demand for Erth ™ Points comes from Businesses continuously rewarding Customers with each qualifying purchase. The supply comes from the ECOs, Rewards4Earth ™ and the Foundation selling their Points. End-users are Consumers, and as such, they hold Erth ™ Points out of the marketplace in the same way a Consumer takes a diamond out of the diamond market by keeping it on a ring. The diamond can re-enter the market at any time. The price of Erth ™ Points will be determined in a large part from the demand created from Businesses gifting them to attract Customers and from any speculation.
Franchises
The Business can track via their BIZ App or on the Erth ™ Marketing Website all revenue where Erth ™ Points have been allocated. The Business will receive a monthly statement via email showing the sales made through the System. The Business can see all the sales made where Erth ™ Points have been gifted. Another concern to the business may be what would happen if they stopped using the System. Would those Customers go to other competing Businesses that are helping to save the Planet and supporting their Customer’s favourite ECO?
Yes, any business that sells a product or service can join whether they are a Franchise, or an owner-operated Business or a multi-national Business. The individual Franchise agreements may however have provisions that will need to be cleared with their Head Office. It would however be rare that a Franchisor does not want their offices to be seen to be supporting ECOs or helping to save the Planet.
Yes, as a Franchisee sells products and/or services like any other Business, any Franchisee can join the Erth ™ Point Program. Some will have to check their Franchise agreements.
If the different locations are Franchise owned, each Business pays $200 to join the Erth ™ Point Program, as all Businesses operate different POS Systems and have different Merchant ID numbers and are different Companies. If one entity owns all the locations, they only have to pay once, but they will have to supply all Merchant ID numbers to that one account.
Legal Issues and SEC
No, they are not an investment, and they never will be. They are an Exchange-traded Loyalty Point and promoting them as an investment would be breaking the law as it could be giving financial advice without a License, and you could be criminally charged.
a) They have not been marketed as an investment by the Company or any of its team.
b) They are being used for their intended use and as per the Forman Precedent – Security Laws do not apply.
c) In most instances, and in most countries, loyalty points are exempt from being a Security.
d) Under the Howey test or precedent, there has been no “Investment Contract” as the Customer did not purchase them, but was gifted them as part of a purchase.
e) There are NO dividends, yields, voting rights, returns, promissory notes, ownership of a Business or Company or Trust, inducement as an investment or any other attribute relevant to the definition of a Security under US Law present in an Erth ™ Point.
f) In a similar way to BTC and ETH which are traded on exchanges, they also are not securities.
g) There has been no marketing done to imply they will increase in value unless the reference also explains they can also decrease in value.
No, because an Erth ™ Ambassador is only recommending a Marketing System to Businesses, and they are not selling a financial services product. They have no requirement to have any qualifications.
Yes, the Ambassador can speak about Speculators that may trade on Exchanges as a matter of full disclosure. The Erth ™ Ambassador however cannot recommend, advise, influence, or cause anyone to speculate on Erth ™ Points. If a Business owner wishes to purchase Erth ™ Points, they can do so via their Erth ™ Point BIZ App. The Erth ™ Ambassador is not licensed to provide any financial advice and therefore cannot influence speculation to any person. Business owners can purchase enough Erth ™ Points to last them an hour, a day or for any time-period they like – it is their decision. A Business is a Speculator by nature. They buy goods and/or services at a low price and sell them at a higher price – that is how they make money. If a Business decides to do that with Erth ™ Points, that is their prerogative. However, it cannot be from the influence or instigation of an Erth ™ Ambassador. Although Businesses are not covered by financial services law, the Business owner is a “person” and even though we only allow entities with an ABN to purchase Erth ™ Points, an Erth ™ Ambassador does not want to be a test case regarding these laws.
The demand for Erth ™ Points comes from Businesses continuously rewarding Customers with each qualifying purchase. The supply comes from the ECOs, Rewards4Earth ™ and the Foundation selling their Points. End-users are Consumers, and as such, they hold Erth ™ Points out of the marketplace in the same way a Consumer takes a diamond out of the diamond market by keeping it on a ring. The diamond can re-enter the market at any time. The price of Erth ™ Points will be determined in a large part from the demand created from Businesses gifting them to attract Customers and from any speculation.
The Ambassador will never refer to an Erth ™ Point as an investment, a Share, a Security, or any type of speculative opportunity or Investment and we do not want them to be confused with these things. Erth ™ Points are a Loyalty Reward Point and not an Investment. Any Ambassador that refers to the Erth ™ Point as an investment will lose their status as an Erth ™ Ambassador, and all residual income and Erth ™ Point income from the Erth ™ Point Ambassador Program. Rewards4Earth ™ also reserves the right to take legal action against the Ambassador to recover any income or Erth ™Points paid to the Ambassador as well as to recover any damages incurred as a consequence of the Ambassador referring to the Erth ™Points as an Investment or Speculative opportunity in any way. Please be aware this is not us doing this to be difficult. Giving financial or investment advice without a Financial Advisors or AFSL License is a criminal offence in Australia and most other countries, and ASIC can criminally prosecute you for recommending Investments in any shape or form.
Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation (Charity)
It’s an acronym for what the Rewards4Earth ™ Philanthropic Foundation does:
Plastic recovery and recycling.
Ocean cleanup and rejuvenation.
Local Causes such as drought, flood, and bushfires in Australia.
Endangered Species preservation.
Clean Energy Technology.
Education on how to live more environmentally friendly.
Reforestation and tree planting.
It’s a registered charity with the mandate to give back to the planet using the POLECER mandate to assist organisations that specialise in each area of the mandate.
A small percentage from every sale to every Erth ™ Point Supporter at participating businesses is gifted to the Foundation in Erth ™ Points. The Foundation either uses the Erth ™ Points to fund POLECER directly or sells the Erth ™ Points and puts the money into its POLECER plan to help repair the Planet.
No, it is a Company and not a Charity. The Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation Ltd is a registered Charity that helps save the Planet by benefitting from the Erth ™ Point System.
Supporters
Erth ™ Points make it possible for ECOs to monetise the loyalty and patronage of their Supporters and Members. By introducing ECO Supporters to Businesses on a PAY-per-SALE basis, ECOs can use their pre-existing loyalty to create a new revenue source. Making their Supporters a powerful monetisable asset.
Yes, the Supporter chooses who they would like to be their beneficiary. They have the option to change their beneficiary (ECO) as they wish at any time.
They go to the Erth ™ Ambassador website, sign in with their ABN (it is easy to apply for one if they do not have one), and they pay their enrolment fee. Then they complete the mandatory course and questionnaire, and then they can become an accredited Erth ™ Ambassador.
They manage their Erth ™ Points via the App. They can save them or use them as they desire. They can check the value via one of the Exchanges. The only thing they cannot do is recommend someone buys them as an investment, as that would be giving financial advice without a license.
No, but the Business can gift the Supporter points directly to the customers’ App using their BIZ App by manually filling in the purchase amounts and scanning the Supporter’s individual QR Code.
Erth ™ Businesses will be listed in the search and location directory which has maps, directions, and contact details for the Business.
Supporters can earn Erth ™ Points at Businesses but not all those Businesses accept Erth ™ Points as a payment System. Some businesses pay through external Affiliate Marketing Programs. They only agree to pay us on a PAY-per-SALE basis and not accept Erth ™ Points as a payment. This provides an opportunity for the Erth ™ Ambassador to sign these Businesses up to the System and earn from all complying transactions. We will have lists of Businesses that are signed up directly to the System. A Business not on this list may still be gifting Points but misses out on other benefits such as our VIP Customer Service allowing them to market to those Customers. Erth ™ Ambassadors should be looking to sign as many Businesses into the System as possible if they are not on the list. Please be aware that just because a Business is in our directory for gifting Points, they may not be on the list of Businesses signed directly to Erth ™ Marketing. Customers can use the Concierge Service which will be available to purchase goods and services from any participating Business worldwide.
The Supporter will receive a message on their App telling them that they did not receive their Erth ™ Points from that Business and that the Business is no longer supporting their ECO or helping to save the Planet through the Erth ™ Point System.
Yes, the Erth ™ Ambassador income is split 50/50 from the Business side and the Supporter side of the transaction even though the Business pays all the money. This encourages Ambassadors to sign up for both Businesses – large and small, and Supporters (Especially Supporters through the CCC’s).
They can join with or without referrals by simply downloading the App and entering their details, and their credit/debit card to start saving the Planet. They can nominate any participating ECO to benefit from their shopping or encourage their ECO to join. They can be referred by any member, Business, ECO or Ambassador. If they are referred by someone in an Erth ™ Ambassador network, part of their shopping will always go back to that network which cannot be changed.
It’s free.
The Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation Ltd.
A person that joins the Erth ™ Point System that chooses their favourite ECO to benefit from their shopping when they use their registered payment card with a participating retailer or service provider. If they do not choose an ECO, they will default to being a Supporter of the Rewards4Earth ™ Foundation Ltd that will receive the discretionary portion of the Erth ™ Points. The Supporter can change to any other approved ECO at any time.
No, the Business can direct them to the App, but the customer must join the program themselves to comply with privacy, AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer), and data protection laws.
a) A Supporter collects Erth ™ Reward Points for themselves (which they own) and the points can increase/decrease in value from any participating Business in the world.
b) A Supporter benefits by getting VIP (they must opt-in to each Business) deals from participating retailers and service providers.
c) A Supporter benefits by helping their favourite ECO.
d) A Supporter will be able to soon use (once we have sufficient liquidity) the Erth ™ Point Concierge Service for goods/services for Businesses where they can earn Erth ™ Points. Businesses are not yet setup to be able to receive Erth ™ Points as payment.
e) A Supporter knows that the Planet benefits every time they shop at a participating Business.
Yes, the Supporter can choose a beneficiary (ECO) and change the beneficiary later. The Supporter is always in charge.
A Supporter can save their Erth ™ Points, use them at any business that accepts them as a redemption or payment system, or they can use the Erth ™ Concierge Service whenever they wish. The Points have no realistic expiry date as they technically expire on the 31/12/9,999AD and are then reissued for another 10,000 years automatically.
Supporters enjoy more than TRIPLE the benefit. They can be offered great deals from participating Businesses worldwide where they become VIP Customers or special offers to all Erth ™ Point Supporters that they search out. Erth ™ Points are owned by the Supporter. The gifting Business cannot devalue them as Erth ™ Points fluctuate in value. They can go down in value like normal Reward Points, but they can also increase in value to the Supporter’s benefit. It is also an easy way for Supporters to make a difference and financially support their favourite ECO, as their nominated ECO gets points – effectively TRIPLE the Erth ™ Points from every purchase plus they help SAVE the PLANET.
By spending money with participating Businesses. Using their App, Customers can earn Erth ™ Points free – the same as they do with other Loyalty Point Systems.
No, we treat that as a benefit, reward, or gift to the Business for being part of the System.
The Customer may choose to let the business know if they wish. When they pay their bill, Points will automatically be transferred to the Customer and the employee may not even know they have gifted Erth ™ Points. Some Businesses pay for their Erth ™ Points through Affiliate Marketing Companies and will not even know they have paid for the Erth ™ Points. Other Businesses will reap the benefits of full Erth ™ Point Membership and that they are part of the Erth ™ Point System and they are gifting Erth ™ Points. We believe most Businesses will want to be part of the Erth ™ Point System eventually as more and more supporters of ECOs and the Planet join the System.
a) Businesses only pay for performance (Sales), using our PAY-per-SALE System instead of the PAY-per-CLICK System from other Online Marketing Programs which may or may not result in the Business making sales.
b) Supporters support their ECO by shopping at participating Businesses as the ECOearns the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter.
c) The Customers own the Erth ™ Points and can collect them from any participating Business worldwide. The Erth ™ Points can increase/decrease in value to benefit the Supporter. The Erth ™ Points can be exchanged for goods/services at any Business that accepts them worldwide.
d) The Planet gets rewarded with the same amount of Erth ™ Points as the Supporter via the Foundation with a small part of every transaction made whenever a Supporter spends money at any participating Business
e) Erth ™ Points work as a Customer Attraction System to attract ECO Supporters.
f) Erth ™ Points act as a Customer Retention System to keep Supporters coming back to buy again and again.
g) The system benefits Businesses, Customers, ECOs, ECO Supporters and the Planet.
h) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Environment.
i) Businesses get to tick the box for fulfilling their obligations to the Community.
j) ECOs benefit from their loyal Supporters shopping at participating Businesses as they receive a percentage of the sale price paid in Erth ™ Points which they can sell in local currency for residual income.
k) In summary Businesses only pay if a Supporter purchases something and the Businesses are encouraging Customers to return while they support ECOs and the Planet.
The Ambassador will never refer to an Erth ™ Point as an investment, a Share, a Security, or any type of speculative opportunity or Investment and we do not want them to be confused with these things. Erth ™ Points are a Loyalty Reward Point and not an Investment. Any Ambassador that refers to the Erth ™ Point as an investment will lose their status as an Erth ™ Ambassador, and all residual income and Erth ™ Point income from the Erth ™ Point Ambassador Program. Rewards4Earth ™ also reserves the right to take legal action against the Ambassador to recover any income or Erth ™Points paid to the Ambassador as well as to recover any damages incurred as a consequence of the Ambassador referring to the Erth ™Points as an Investment or Speculative opportunity in any way. Please be aware this is not us doing this to be difficult. Giving financial or investment advice without a Financial Advisors or AFSL License is a criminal offence in Australia and most other countries, and ASIC can criminally prosecute you for recommending Investments in any shape or form.
