Procard International, llc, its current and future subsidiaries including Unicard International, llc., and LocalDiscounts.com are all known as "Procard International" and will follow all of Procard International's rules and policies. An Associate is any individual who represents and/or markets Procard International's services.

There is no required investment on the part of Procard International Associates although some equipment and/or marketing materials may be optional, if an Associate chooses. All Associates are considered to be independent contractors, and we will send each Associate a 1099-tax form of earnings and each Associate will be responsible for his/her own taxes. Associates are paid only after applications have been accepted and monies collected.

Procard International, llc. does NOT require our Associates to buy any of our products, leads, and/or marketing systems at any time.

All Associates are considered to be already trained and professional in standing, can take full-advantage of their own experiences and use their own methods to market our services as long as there is no misrepresentation.  We abide by the guidelines of the FCC and FTC.  All Associates have the full ability to represent any other products and services with any other company, and it does not demand any services to be performed personally by its Associates. Associates have the full freedom and flexibility to promote its services whenever they want and have the freedom to plan their own workdays. All Associates are considered Independent contractors and have the freedom to work where, when, and how they choose with no quotas.

Our scripts have been approved by our legal department and the required states, thus, they must be followed verbatim. Our free leads are available to help and are NOT required to be used. Procard International does NOT require Associates to work at any particular location. Associates can work where ever they choose and are NOT considered homeworkers. Associates have the full freedom to use their own scripts, leads, locations of work, and all necessary marketing materials.

Procard International does not assume any liability for Associates method of marketing. It is the individual responsibility of each Associate to follow all FCC, FTC, Internet, State, Federal, and International laws including the National Do Not Call Registry, which can be found at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/donotcall/index.html.This also includes the receipt of company leads in which an Associate may only call up to 3 months (or the current governing laws) from the date of request by the consumer. Any time a consumer makes a request not to be called, emailed, or contacted it is the responsibility of the Associate to notify Procard International through the proper form submission provided on Procard International's website and the Associate can not contact that consumer again. Procard International will not pay any fines, legal fees, nor any other expenses, which an Associate may incur by not following any of the above laws and policies.

Procard International does NOT support spamming or any type of unsolicited bulk Emailing.  Associates who perform any of the above are liable directly, and Procard International will NOT assume any liabilities for these situations.

Procard International cannot participate in the hiring, supervising, paying of assistants, furnishing tools, equipment, or materials of its Associates.  Also, all Associates can control their own marketing and marketing names in their own communities and realizes that many of its Associates have ongoing current careers and has developed its paperwork and reporting of sales to be at a minimal. Internet access is necessary for the processing of customer information. Procard International has many options available and only wants to extend options to Associates so they can accept or reject the various jobs according to their busy schedules.
Procard International's office is primarily used for interviewing, training, and administration, only. This enables its Associates to work separately from where ever they would like throughout the entire country without being confined to the Procard International office.

Procard International pays its Associates only after applications are fully completed and monies collected. For members who do cancel, all parties who received monies from that sale will be charged back, in full, if a refund is provided.

Procard International pays its Associates on a MAP (Monthly Automated Payment) program. Each party or parties receiving monies from that account can continue receiving their MAP monies each month, as long as all parties replace their lapsed accounts each month (lapsed= non-processable sales, cancellations, or any other account which does not stay on the books for any reason). The purpose for this is primarily for maintenance of accounts. Currently, 75% of all non-processable accounts result from simple checking account changes. In the event the receiving party or parties do not replace ALL of the lapsed accounts for a particular month, they will not be paid the MAP monies; however, when the receiving party or parties replace the lapsed accounts on subsequent months, the MAP monies will start up again, but are NOT retroactive.

Procard International's leads are the property of Procard International. Due to our privacy policy, they can not be used for any other purposes other than for promoting Procard International. If they are used for any other purposes, the Associate can be disqualified from all of our lead programs and held financially liable. Procard International also reserves the right to use its leads, accounts, and/or any databases as necessary.

In the event Procard International terminates its contract with an Associate, the Associate will receive notice, and it is expected that an Associate terminating his/her contract with Procard International will also provide notice. Associates are not allowed to contact, take, or convert their accounts, which they have activated with Procard International to any other company or individual.

In the event an Associate purchases supplies from Procard International, he or she is accountable for the total charge at the time of purchase and by the next subsequent payroll. Any of Procard International's long distance provided for personal calls will be deducted from the Associate’s payroll account.   

Associates are NOT paid MAP monies nor initial activation fees on their own personal activations, if they voluntarily choose to activate in our services. Paychecks or ACH's must accumulate to $25.00 or higher for payment.

Procard International does NOT require its Associates to join Procard International or buy any of our products to represent our services. Procard International also has a very simple cancellation policy for its members:  If for any reason ANY member wants to discontinue the services, the member may terminate membership at any time by written notification to Procard International.  Upon receipt of written notification (and membership card(s)), membership will discontinue on the next one to two billing statements, depending on the processing date of written notification. There is no refund for processing or other membership fees. It is the mutual responsibility of the member and the company to keep the membership in force. To guarantee uninterrupted service, the company continues the services unless notified by member in writing. Annual memberships will automatically be converted to monthly memberships at renewal time and follow the same policies as with monthly memberships. Annual memberships may stay as an annual membership upon written request by member to Support@ProcardInternational.com or the request may be mailed in. All memberships are protected by the following standard policy:  “I hereby authorize my bank or credit card company to debit my account on the 1st of each month (unless the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, in which event the debit takes place on the last business day of the previous month) and pay Procard International (hereinafter called the “company”) the current monthly amount each month beginning next month including periodic rate increases. This authorization is to remain in force until the “company” has received written notification of the termination in such time and in such manner as to afford the “company” and/or the bank(s) a reasonable option to act on it.  In the event that the “company” notifies the bank(s) or credit card company that funds transferred were not entitled to the company,  I hereby authorize and direct the bank(s) to return said funds to the member account.” Acceptance of membership or 3 business days after purchase affirms the above procedures.

Procard International reserves the right to change any of its marketing, rules, policies, pricing, and/or pay programs at any time. Procard International also reserves the right to have periodic price increases for members. These changes will normally be posted on the "Daily News", website, or via Email. All Initial New Member Activations are excluded from pay schedules, and ONLY ONE membership activation is required to stay active in order to maintain an Access Code. (There is a $10.00 administrative and processing fee for insufficient funds or returned checks only for the member who wrote the actual check.)

Because our interviewing process and/or membership services require the exchange of information which may not necessarily be available on our website, it may be necessary for us to exchange information via Emailing, telephone, faxing, and/or postal mail. Your information will never be released nor shared with any other company not related to Procard International, llc.

Associate Access Code Credit: Our policy stands firm on the fact that whichever Access Code is submitted on an application is the one which will receive the credit, regardless as to the length and amount of communications by others.  There will never be any double commissions paid out. There will also be NO reversals made unless all 3 parties are in full agreement and/or Procard International deems it to be necessary. In the event there is no Access Code or a non-active Access Code is submitted, it will be assumed that this particular activation was the result of a Procard International promotion and credit will go to the company, itself.

The payroll is mailed out on the 1st of each month for all applications processed the previous month.

Associates are NOT required to purchase leads from Procard International and can generate accounts in any legal manner they choose without misrepresentation. Associates must regularly qualify to receive FREE leads. Historically, Procard International's networks have rarely had a lead shortage for its qualifying Associates; however, in the event there is a shortage Procard International will make leads available as quickly as they come in.
