2012 Business Guidelines Cancellations and Refunds: Individual Memberships: FSR’s cannot cancel membership on behalf of a member, unless application is still in New Business. Membership application states “Monies collected prior to cancellation are non -refundable”, however; as a courtesy, AFS will process a full refund for an Individual membership only IF a member contacts the Association to cancel within the first 30 days of membership and requests a refund and IF no benefits have been utilized. Cancellation outside the first 30 days, monies collected prior to cancellation are not refundable. Group Memberships: Membership applications state “Monies collected prior to cancellation are non refundable”, however; as a courtesy, Memberships within a Group may be cancelled within three (3) business days from the date the application is signed. The FSR or authorized Group Representative may contact AFS within these three days to cancel. If the memberships have not yet been processed, they will be pulled from the New Business department upon receipt and the FSR will be notified via email of the cancellation while in New Business. Cancellation outside the three business days from date signed, monies collected prior to cancellation are not refundable. There is NOT a 30 day “free look” period on group memberships. 1/1/2012

2012 Business Guidelines Please use the Membership Start Date to select the Effective Date of Membership. Effective Date: The first 30 days of membership begins on the requested Membership Start Date. The membership will become effective the day it is keyed, unless a specified Membership Start Date is requested. A Membership Start Date of 60 days or more in the future from date received will not be processed and will be returned to the FSR. A Membership Start Date cannot be prior to the date an application is signed. Applications signed/dated 35 days or more in the past from the date of receipt will not be processed and will be returned to the FSR. All applications are available at www.AFSwebsite.org in the FSR area. Please make sure you use the correct application for membership. Using an incorrect application will result in the application not being processed and returned to the FSR. 1/1/2012

2012 Business Guidelines Check List: 2012 Membership Application filled out, dated and signed Payment attached by either: Check or Money Order payable to AFS 2012 AFS Credit Card Authorization Form Automatic Payment Authorization section of membership application filled out, signed and dated if draft selected for either Initial or Ongoing Payments If Group Sale, submit applications with required Group Sales Form (revised as of 1/20/2011) filled out, signed and dated by Payor. If Same Household Sale, submit applications with a Same Household Form (updated 1/11) 1/1/2012

2012 Business Guidelines Group Memberships: The Group Sales Form is required for Group sales and must be submitted with membership applications. If five (5) or more memberships are sold to a Group only five (5) fees are required. More members can be added to Groups at a later date and additional fees will be waived. The Group Sales Form is posted in the FSR area of www.AFSwebsite.org. There is a three (3) business day “free look” for Group Memberships from the date the applications are signed. Outside these 3 days, all monies collected prior to cancellation are non refundable. There is NOT a 30 day “free look” period. Same Household sold at point of sale, only one fee is required. Same Household is defined as Primary Member, Spouse and dependent children up to age 24 if full time student. Please use the Same Household Form to ensure accurate processing. The Same Household Sales Form is posted in the FSR area of www.AFSwebsite.org 1/1/2012

2012 Business Guidelines Reasons membership applications are returned: Bank authorization not signed by Payor, if draft selected Check or Money Order not made payable to AFS Application written for Primary Member under age 18 Incorrect/Wrong Application, using prior years applications Duplicate Membership in Primary Member Name Missing Group Sales form Missing information on Application: ● incomplete address ● missing signatures ● incorrect dollar amount submitted 1/1/2012

2012 Business Guidelines Initial Payment can be made by Automatic Draft: The initial payment made by an automatic draft will be processed immediately upon receipt of application. In order to ensure that your business is processed quickly and correctly, we suggest the following: Please include copy of voided check Please be sure to select an “Ongoing Payment Option”. If left blank, Ongoing Payments will default to automatic draft NOTE: Banking information provided for Initial and Ongoing payments cannot belong to a Field Service Representative. Checks are deposited immediately. The Association will not hold checks. They are deposited upon receipt. Checks must be made payable to AFS Personal Checks, Business Checks and Money Orders will be accepted for payment of membership. (A personal check from the Field Service Representative will not be accepted for payment on behalf of a member.) Credit Card Payments are charged immediately and will be accepted for: MasterCard and VISA Initial Payment Direct Bill Quarterly or Annual Preferred Draft Day: If Draft payment option is selected, the day of the month for ongoing drafts will be based upon the selected Membership Start Date. (example: Membership Start Date of 1/15/2012 will result in the first draft occurring ON/OR ABOUT 2/15/2012) 1/1/2012

2012 Business Guidelines Reinstates: A new membership cannot be keyed unless the existing membership has been expired at least 90 days. Should a Member choose to reinstate their existing membership ID#, they may do so within 180 days (6 months) of expiration on currently marketed levels. Closed levels can only be reinstated within 35 days of expiration. Reinstate requests must be in writing from the member. After expiration, a new membership must be purchased and a membership fee will be required. Dependent eligibility status: If the member can claim the dependent on the federal tax return, they are considered an eligible dependent for association benefits. Domestic Partner eligibility status: Partner is considered a spouse if member files federal income tax as “married status” with Partner. The Association does not verify eligibility status on benefits. Each vendor has the responsibility and right upon claims submitted against a benefit to honor or deny service. 1/1/2012
