PRODUCTS   |   NEWS   |   EVENTS An update on the eve of the Dubai Summit Dear NetLeaders Community, As we are just a week away from our annual Leadership Summit in Dubai, I wanted to share some exciting news: Dubai Promotion Extended While our incredible Dubai Promotion was initially scheduled to end on Sunday, November 11th, we have decided to EXTEND the promotion ONE MORE WEEK until this Sunday, November 18th at midnight CET to make sure everyone has a chance to come to Dubai! That means one more week to qualify for the incredible incentives offered in this promotion: just €6,000 in direct sales will earn you a €150 ticket to the event in Dubai as well as €500 in airfare reimbursement and an additional €500 in hotel reimbursement. Plus, this is also the last chance to take advantage of the amazing added Upgrades. An incredible FOUR – that’s right 4! – Upgrades are included in every license from Standard to VP and an astounding FIVE – you heard me, 5! – Upgrades currently come with the President license. I can assure that these levels of Upgrades will never be seen again, so make sure to take advantage now! Polish Media Clarification Many of you may have come across negative and malicious campaigns run against the NetLeaders organization from within Poland. As I mentioned on a recent webinar, we expect a certain amount of regulatory inquiry due to the innovative nature of our business as well as our worldwide success. However, there were some recent stories in the Polish media – primarily appearing in small online blogs – that contained a whole new dimension of misinformation. This misinformation was then syndicated in online blogs within other regions of the world. Adding to the confusion of these stories was the fact that none of the editorial sources has been diligent enough to seek comments from myself or anyone else within the NetLeaders organization. Consequently, for the benefit of those in our community who have been asking questions, I would like to take the opportunity to clarify the situation at the center of these stories. The blog posts stem mainly from one particular incident: certain funds processed by one of our Polish payment providers have been safeguarded by the Polish authorities since June. This measure was partially taken by Polish authorities in response to repeated complaints by the NetLeaders legal team against the payment processor for unjustly withholding funds over a period of several months. These funds, which have never left the possession of the payment processor, were “ring-fenced” by the Polish government until the investigation into the matter has been completed. We are very appreciative to the Polish government for coming to our assistance in this manner and we applaud their swift action. We are also confident of a favorable outcome once all the facts have been considered by the appropriate authorities. Nonetheless, to ensure this situation is resolved without delay, we have engaged legal and financial experts who are working within the appropriate Polish government channels to ensure that due process is upheld. Of course, while this is taking place, operations in Poland continue as normal. Also important to note: despite having these funds unjustly withheld by the payment processor, NetLeaders dutifully fulfilled on all of the affected license purchases and paid full commissions on all purchases – and every commission was paid on time. This is further testament to the strength and health of the NetLeaders business, as a challenge of this magnitude would have likely bankrupted virtually any other business. To better serve the NetLeaders community during this time, we have also appointed a legal expert, Professor dr hab. Jarosław Majewski, who is now acting as the central contact for all engagement with the Polish authorities. A hotline has also been made available to NetLeaders advocates and customers in Poland to provide timely answers to any questions they may have.
