Canada new market clarifications:

Young Living is excited about its newest market in Canada! Young Living has a strong distributor base in Canada with exceptional leaders and we look forward to watching this market grow! With every new market in Young Living there are new ways of managing your account and we hope to make this as easy of a transition as possible. In this clarification letter we will do our best to cover everything you need to be aware of with Young Living Canada.

. Young Living Canada will begin its launch with their top 60 products registered in the market. These will be the items that will be available for this market only and can then be resold by a distributor to a non-member. It takes a lot of time and work to register products for a market so with time Young Living Canada's product portfolio will continue to grow. These products will be sold in Canadian Dollars. The currently registered products can be seen on Young Living's Canada .com page or in the new product list that was given out at the grand opening or on the new Young Living app under the Canada region. These registered products are considered OTG products which means they are registered and "on the ground".

. Because Young Living values all of its products and understands that many of you are likely already using products that will not be registered in Canada you will have the option to still buy products from the US the same way you have in the past. One clarification on this is that a registered product in Canada cannot be purchased from the US market. So if the product you wish to purchase is registered in Canada you must purchase the registered product from your market. These orders are considered NFR or "not for resale" products and are for personal consumption only.

. Young Living Canada will have an office location in north east Calgary. This office will house the local operating staff that will support the market as well as a will call location that members can come and pick up registered OTG products. Even though this office will house local staff distributors will continue to function through Young Living's current Customer Service center as well as the current Leadership Development team for Executive and above ranks.

. Orders placed within the Canadian market must either be placed as an OTG order or an NFR order. In order for us to be compliant with Canadian laws at the boarder we cannot ship OTG products with NFR products, they must be shipped separately. Due to this we will allow members in Canada to have two Essential Rewards order per month, one being an OTG order and one being an NFR order. There are two ways this can be managed moving forward. The first is you can set up a single Essential rewards template whether it is an OTG or NFR order and on a month when you want something that is not available on the ordering option you choose you can call in to our customer service/leadership services team and have them manually process this for you. Otherwise, you can set up an OTG template as well as a NFR template and have two templates. One thing to note if you set up two templates you will need to call Young Living to have one of them skipped for a month if that is what you choose. If you choose to have two Essential rewards orders in a single month the PV will be combined and you will accrue rewards points at the combined PV total.

. If a member chooses to manage two Essential Rewards templates they will need to manager their OTG template by logging into the Canadian-English link to the virtual office. In order to manage their NFR template they must log into the United States-English virtual office link. Once they are in the template it will automatically show them the products available to them. They can also use this same method when placing a website order whether it is an OTG or NFR order.

. The percentage you are accruing rewards points will not be affected as long as you have an Essential rewards order fort that particular commission's period. So if you are earning at the 20% rate and place an OTG essential rewards order in April and decide in May to change it to an NFR Essential Rewards order it will not affect your reward points or the rate at which you accrue them.

. Whenever Young Living opens a new market there are costs involved in running a market, some of those being local office, local staff, new labeling for the registered products, difference in currency as well as legal fees to comply with country and provincial laws. Due to this you will notice that all registered Young Living Canada products will have a different dollar value than the standard PV value. This difference covers operating costs for your particular market.

. Young Living Canada will begin paying out commission cheque's in Canadian dollars to its business building members. We will begin requiring a Social Insurance numbers in order to be compliant with Canadian laws and will provide a T4a at the beginning of the year. We will not require a SIN number up front on enrollment, but once a member earns $500.00 for the year we will notify you that we need a Social Insurance Number on file. If we do not receive a SIN then commissions may be held by Young Living until we receive it. Commission cheque's will be received by Direct deposit beginning with the April commissions period paid out in May. Please complete the direct deposit form located in the Virtual Office.

. Many people have heard that Young Living Canada will have a warehouse that our products will ship from and they will not have to pay for Duties and Taxes at the border anymore. This will not be the case to start, the main purpose for this is due to the Utah warehouse being so close to the Canadian market and if we were to manage a warehouse in Canada it would add more operating costs which would be added to the market's registered products price. We feel confident that utilizing our existing warehouse in Utah will be the best option and keep costs lower.

Thank you for your continued support of Young Living and being a member of this wonderful company!

Sincerely,
The Young Living Canada team
