Dear Amegan,

 

As you may know, we now require Business Associates who have developed their own websites to submit their site for approval to the Compliance Department of Amega Worldwide, Inc. After careful consideration, Amega has determined that it will not be issuing Compliance Certificates to Business Associates who have created a Blog website.

Although Amega will not issue Certificates of Compliance for Blog websites, the Compliance Department still requires Business Associates to submit them for approval, as it is imperative to verify the validity of the information that is being communicated on each site. The Compliance Department will also continue to monitor those blog sites that are submitted along with those that are not submitted for violations of the Amega Policies and Procedures.

Blog websites usually contain feedback from members, subscribers and in some cases people who have no affiliation with the site in question. This in turn, exposes Amega Worldwide, Inc to multiple avenues of liability, as we cannot prevent those individuals from violating our Policies and Procedures that were developed with the purpose of maintaining the good name of Amega, its products and Business Associates.

Amega Worldwide, Inc will continue to issue Compliance Certificates to Business Associates who choose to develop their own websites to promote their business opportunity as long as they are in accordance with the Amega Worldwide, Inc Policies and Procedures. Amega is also reviewing its current Policies and Procedures to include this most recent update change so that Business Associates may reference this at any time.

Compliance will also be monitoring its newly developed Twitter account on a daily basis. Please be advised that Twitter posts or "Tweets" must also comply with sections 4.3.10.2 and section 4.8 of the Amega Worldwide, Inc Policies and Procedures. Any Twitter posts or "Tweets" that violate the above mentioned sections of Amega Policies and Procedures will result in disciplinary actions.

The Compliance Department has provided you with a few pointers in the event you choose to develop your own website or so that you may make adjustments to a site you currently own but are yet to submit for approval. Below are common areas in which corrections and adjustments usually occur.
