Kids Bee Happy Consultants Agreement
Schedule B – Operating Rules (1/11/2019)
As
a Kids Bee Happy consultant, you agree to run your business in accordance with
the following trading requirements.
1.
The
overarching requirement -
a.
Customers
should never be in a situation where they are confused as to what products are
Kids Bee Happy activities and products, and/or if they are buying from an
authorised Kids Bee Happy Consultant.
b.
This
requirement is specified as an overarching requirement to avoid the situation
where people abide by the letter but not the spirit of these requirements.
c.
This
requirement is needed to protect the value of the brand, and therefore the
value, standing and reputation of all consultants trading under the Kids Bee
Happy brand – it is in everyone’s detriment if a consultant devalues the brand
by mixing and selling non KBH products, services and offerings, alongside KBH
approved products, services, and activities.
d.
Marketing
materials, digital and offline, should be approved by HO before use.
2.
Branding
–
a.
When
booking into events, you should note clearly for the organiser that you are a
Kids Bee Happy consultant.
b.
Your
KBH facebook/social media profiles / page (and/or other digital or online
selling profiles) should state clearly that you are a Kids Bee Happy
consultant, your full name, and email or mobile, so that customers are always
fully informed of who they are talking and transacting with.
c.
You
should never use the KBH branding on any products, marketing, advertising,
online pages or any other materials, online or offline, unless it relates in
its entirety to Kids Bee Happy and HO have approved its use.
3.
Mixing
Products and Other Business –
a.
If
you are selling KBH products online this should be done preferably from a KBH social
media page or profile.
b.
You
cannot use KBH logos, images, videos, or graphics created by KBH HO or other
team members on non KBH pages.
c.
You
cannot sell non KBH products from the same stand/table/stall as non KBH
products
d.
It
should always be clear when you are selling KBH products that you are doing so
in your role as a KBH Consultant.
e.
Online
or social media raffles are illegal, we do not condone the use of raffles
except where offline and properly licensed with local authorities.
4.
Take
Home Packs –
a.
Every
take home pack must be appropriately prepared and include toy safety labels that
are visible from the outside.
b.
You
may sell packs directly to customers, or to business customers who sell or give
them to their customers.
c.
The
KBH pack must never be “disassembled” to be included in Hampers or other
bundled or grouped products sold by other businesses. It must be clear that the KBH takehome pack
is a “pack within a pack”.
d.
Non
KBH products should NEVER be included in the same packaging as KBH
Products. For the purposes of Hampers
etc the KBH product must be a complete, self contained product with a Toy
Safety sticker on separate packaging, within any bigger product, packaging, or
wrapping.
e.
PLEASE
don’t use cellophane to bundle products – customers don’t like it and it is
completely non-recyclable and damaging to the environment.
5.
Events
-
a.
When
booking into events you should always book in as a Kids Bee Happy consultant
and check that no other KBH consultant is attending the event.
b.
When
booking into events, you should always approach the organiser as a children’s
activities or entertainment provider.
You should avoid using the words “stall” and “stallholder” and you
should always ensure that you approach organisers on a “nil cost” basis before
you agree to stall fees. (If unsure talk
to your leader, as it is company policy that as activity organisers and
entertainment, you should not be treated
on the same basis as someone selling handbags or facecream.)
6.
Competing
products -
a.
We
acknowledge that in some instances Consultants may have existing businesses or be
crafters with a wider product range, that they wish to do alongside KBH, and
KBH has no wish to prevent this, or to “demand” that you cease those
activities.
b.
What
we do require though is that when you are trading as a Kids Bee Happy
Consultant, you exclusively use KBH Products advertised, marketed and sold in
compliance with these requirements, with absolutely no cross over between KBH
and any other business activities you may have.
7.
Working
with other businesses -
a.
You
may sell your products to other businesses.
b.
These
other businesses may choose to combine KBH products with other products for
their own sales purposes.
c.
Kids
Bee Happy products must always be sold in an entire sealed pack with safety
labels readable from the outside.
d.
Kids
Bee Happy products must never be disassembled by the business you are selling
to.
e.
You
have a personal responsibility to ensure that the business reselling is doing
so in manner that is legally compliant with toy safety and trading standards,
and environmental health. For example if
the reseller is including food products you know that food safety ingredient
and allergy labelling should be used – if it is not being used you must not
allow the reseller to sell your KBH products.
f.
You
have a personal responsibility to ensure that the KBH products are being resold
in compliance with Disney license (eg no freebies, prizes, competitions,
raffles etc) and not sold to a unlicensed mascot business.
g.
You
have a personal responsibility to ensure that the KBH products are being sold
in a way that maintains and protects the good standing of the KBH brand.
h.
You
may be asked to stop selling to a business if that business is selling or
marketing KBH products in a manner that is not mutually supportive and
beneficial of the brand and other consultants.
8.
Mutually
supportive -
a.
Do
not “claim territory” in your business name.
Kids Bee Happy does not do territories, all consultants are freely
available to work in all areas, so please ensure your business name reflects
this. You cannot have a KBH business than
that incorporates a town, region, country, island etc.
b.
We
would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the importance of the mutually
supportive clause in the consultant agreement.
As an organisation we aim to empower, support and uplift each other in
business, and this specifically excludes consistent targeted under cutting, and
any running down of any other consultant or their business.
c.
We
take this opportunity to reinforce section (1) and the principle of the
overarching requirement, which overrides any particular detail of any other
guidelines.
d.
If
you are aware of any situations you feel are covered by 8(a) Please report
