Zinzino reserves the right for any errors in printing or errors in meaning. We reserve the right to adjust and revise this
document at any time. In case of potential incorrect translations of this document, this master version is the valid document which is binding for all
Zinzino Independent Partners.
(This document is in all respects a translation of the English original document "Compensation Plan EU" and is binding for all Zinzino Independent
Partners. In the event of any differences between this translation and the English original, the latter shall prevail.)
As you begin to understand how incredibly powerful and in demand Zinzino products really are, the more
you will want to recommend them to others. Customers are the key to your success. Your income will be
directly related to your efforts in sharing the products, the opportunity and building a sales organization.
If you can check YES to each of the questions below by the end of each calendar month, Zinzino will send your next Z4F Kit
for free!
The same rules apply for Partners and Customers, but the Z4F Kit is called a Premier Subscription for Customers and they can qualify for multiple free
subscriptions.

Bronze.
Credits
Each Zinzino product you sell in the price list is given a compensation value called Credits. Credits
are our internal currency and the foundation for all calculations in the Zinzino Compensation Plan.
We also have two credit multipliers: ECB and RCB.
You can use the ECB and RCB, if you qualify for them, to reach all levels in the Compensation Plan when
qualifying for activation, Z4F, compensation and titles.
The ECB and RCB are paid in the weekly cycle. So it doesn’t matter which day of the current week you
qualify - the multiplier will be added from the beginning of the compensation week (starts on Thursday
00.00 CET - Central European time).
Cash Bonuses
There are two Cash Bonus types; Premier Cash Bonus and Retail Cash Bonus.
You receive a Premier Cash Bonus when you sell a Premier Customer Kit to a new or existing Customer.
You receive a Retail Cash Bonus when a Retail Customer buys any single items (that have Credits).
The Partner Price List outlines both the Premier Kit offers that give a Cash Bonus and the items that generates a Retail Cash
Bonus (a percentage of the price excl. taxes).
All Partners, including Back Office Entrances (Sales Reps), are rewarded from 10% Cash Bonus and up to 30% Cash Bonus:
• Partners who qualify for A-Team are rewarded with 20% Cash Bonus*
• Partners who qualify for Pro-Team are rewarded with 25% Cash Bonus*
• Partners who qualify for Top-Team and Top 200 are rewarded with 30% Cash Bonus*
* You can read more about Team Bonuses on page 7.
The Bonus is paid from orders sold to personal Customers (direct Customers and their referred second generation, third
generation Customers, and so on.) Note these are the only bonuses that do not require being an active Partner.
Bronze
A Partner with four Personal Customer Points (PCP) that generates at least 20 Credits per month,
including your own product order, becomes Bronze.

A Customer is active for 90 days from the date of the last purchase of minimum 1,25
CUSTOMER Credits. A Customer that is registered without a Premier Kit order is referred to as a “Retail
Customer”. A Customer with a Premier Kit order is called a “Premier Customer”.
Personal Customers are all your direct Customers (first generation) and the Customers
PERSONAL referred by your direct Customers (second generation , third generation …) for an unlimited
CUSTOMER number of generations.
An active Customer can give you 1 or more Customer Points. Each Customer Point
CUSTOMER is active for 90 days from the date of the last purchase. This is how Customer Points
POINTS accumulate:
1. You receive 1 Customer Point for every Premier Subscription (minimum 1,25 Credits),
and other items (minimum 1,25 Credits) added to subscriptions or Auto Orders.
2. In addition, you can receive a maximum of 1 extra Customer Point for items
(minimum 1,25 Credits each) purchased, within the last 90-day period but not on
subscription or monthly Auto Order. This rule applies after a Customer has passed
the first 90 days.
3. If you did not receive any Customer Points from the above rules, you receive
maximum 1 Customer Point when the sum of all orders in the last 90 day period
is 1,25 Credits or more.
Example: When a Customer has more than one Premier Subscription on their monthly
Auto Order, such as a single Skin Care subscription and a single Balance subscription,
this totals 2 Customer Points. If furthermore, they have a webshop order minimum 1,25
Credits, this also will generate 1 Customer Point. This now totals 3 Customer Points (2
points from Premier Subscriptions' 1 Point for the webshop item).
To grant other items to count as Customer Points we recommend webshop items are added to
the subscriptions. Zinzino reserves the right to exclude Customer Points from purchases made
as separate order and not on the monthly orders than above mentioned.
TEAM Your total Team Customer Number is the total of all your Personal Customer Points (PCP),
CUSTOMER your Team Customer Points (TCP) and all Partner Points.
