They may not add, change or remove the services of existing customers without their authorization. Both these practices are strictly prohibited, and will immediately result in the MapleLeaf CA IR responsible for this act to be terminated immediately and forfeiture of all commissions and other payments. Non-compliance to this policy is contrary to law and may constitute fraud. MapleLeaf CA may refer MapleLeaf CA IRs who transgress this policy to the appropriate regulatory and/or government agencies.

This includes the obtaining of licenses or permits that may be required to operate their MapleLeaf CA business. It is the responsibility of the IR to ascertain that all aspects of the home-based business conform to local laws.
11. The naming of an IR in any injunctive or prohibitory administrative or court order in connection with the IRs misconduct as a MapleLeaf CA Independent Representative or in connection with any MapleLeaf CA related activity by such IR, shall constitute a presumption of the IRs failure to operate such Independent Representative business in a lawful manner.
