No purchase or payment necessary to participate

Program Details:

Young Living Essential Oils, LC, located at Thanksgiving Point Business Park, 3125 Executive Parkway, Lehi, UT 84043 (“Young Living”) is launching the Elite Express program on April 1, 2018, at 12 a.m., MT (“Program Initiation Date”). Members who achieve the rank of Senior Star are eligible to participate in the Elite Express program. The Elite Express program consists of five reward tracks and one bonus track that offer an added incentive for members to achieve and maintain leadership ranks within the Young Living Compensation Plan, as outlined in that plan. Members are provided with rewards and recognition for achieving specified leadership ranks within a specifically defined amount of time from a prequalifying rank.

The Elite Express program is an additional incentive intended to motivate and reward elite, high‐performing members. While all members are encouraged to participate, it is important to remember that it is not intended to replace other qualifications or incentives that are offered to Young Living’s member base, including compensation and bonuses offered under the Young Living Compensation Plan. However, as of April 1, 2018, Elite Express will replace the original Elite Express program existing prior to the Program Initiation Date. Members who qualify for the rank of Star by March 31, 2018, will be grandfathered into the original Elite Express program. Those members will be eligible to qualify for their next track in the old Elite Express program, then will be moved into the new Elite Express program. The new Elite Express program as described below.

Program Rules:

1. A participating member must achieve a prequalifying rank for each specific reward track (described below) to initiate the beginning of a qualification period.

2. The member must maintain the prequalifying rank throughout the qualification period.

3. The member must achieve the qualifying rank for each reward track within the qualifying period specified for each reward.

4. The qualification period for each reward track begins on the 1st of the month following a member’s first-time achievement of the prequalifying rank.

5. Members will see the Express Reward points and Essential Reward points will be added after the commission period has finalized.

Limitations of Liability:

Young Living is not responsible for and the winners will not receive the difference, if any, between the actual value of a prize at the time of award and the ARV stated in these Official Rules or in any promotion‐related correspondence or materials.

Young Living reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void any order of members who Young Living believes have attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, or fairness of the Elite Express program or to disqualify any member who acts in a non‐sportsmanlike manner or with the intent to threaten or harass any other person.
