Herbal Magic Inc. Online Interaction Policy

Herbal Magic Inc. ("Herbal Magic", "we", "us", or "our") recognizes the importance and value of online communications tools, including web blogs (“blogs”) and other online channels (discussion forums, social networks, chat rooms, etc.). These online environments increasingly serve as channels for direct interaction with and between Herbal Magic customers, business partners, employees, the media and other stakeholders. In our commitment to open and transparent communications, we have adopted certain standards and policies to determine how Herbal Magic employees will interact in these online forums, including those that are now or may in the future be offered through our own corporate online properties and websites.

All Herbal Magic employees and designated representatives (including franchisees, agency partners, etc.) who engage in online discussion as a delegate of the company are required to comply with the following simple standards:

• Honest and accurate information. Herbal Magic employees and other company representatives must take all reasonable steps to ensure that our communications are based on the most accurate, current and complete information available.  Employees and other designated representatives must never knowingly communicate information that is untrue or deceptive.
• Prompt error correction. In the unfortunate event that an employee or designated representative makes a mistake, the error should be corrected as soon as possible, with full and accurate information, in the same forum the original online posting appeared.
• Respect for confidential information. Herbal Magic employees and designated representatives will not disclose any information that is confidential or proprietary to the company.
• Full disclosure.  Employees and designated representatives commenting on any aspect of Herbal Magic’s business will clearly identify themselves as representatives of the company.
• Personal views.  Herbal Magic employees and designated representatives will clearly state that the views expressed in their contributions to online forums are their own and do not necessarily reflect the position of the company. Employees and designated representatives will never claim to be speaking on behalf of the company, unless authorized in writing by Herbal Magic senior management to do so.
• Respectful and appropriate conduct. Herbal Magic employees and designated representatives will ensure at all times that their online comments are respectful of the opinions of others, including employees, customers, partners, and competitors of the company.
  
  

With regard to online commentary about Herbal Magic posted by individuals not affiliated with the company, Herbal Magic has also adopted certain policies governing when and how the company will respond:

• We will reply to online comments, when appropriate, as promptly as possible.
• We will not respond to comments that are judged as spam, off-topic, or simply defamatory.
• We will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly, whenever possible.
• We will always respect others’ opinions and inalienable right to express their views.
