Compensation Plan Glossary

“Active” is defined as having at least 50 Personal Qualifying Volume (PQV) in the current calendar month, or in the case of Placement Team Commissions, in the current
or previous 4 weeks.“Inactive” means not having this volume.

To qualify for any payments (commissions, bonuses, etc.), you must be Active status.The only exception is Retail Profits from Retail Customers: if an Inactive Distributor had Customers ordering from their site at the Suggested Retail Price, they will earn the difference between the Distributor Price and the Retail Price, even if not Active.

A "week" in Alphay is measured from 12:01 am Sunday morning (PacificTime) to 12 midnight, Saturday.

You will receive one share in the Customer Pool each calendar month that you maintain your 3+3 PLUS an additional 7 Active customers (total of 3 distributors and 10 customers).The 10 have to be unique customers (not necessarily new that month).

You can earn additional shares for every multiple of 10 Active customers you have in the month. Example:

3 distributors + 10-19 Customers = 1 share 3 distributors + 20-29 Customers = 2 shares 3 distributors + 30-39 customers = 3 shares

Any of your Customers will earn you 15% commissions on their total BV. You'll also earn 15% on your Customers' Customers' Customers, etc.

Think of a Customer as just one more PSD: you (the Sponsor) get 15% of the BV of each personally signed up Customer, just the same as your PSDs. Further, the Sponsor also gets 15% of the BV of your Customers' Customers' Customers, etc.

The Unilevel upline receives 5% of 80% of all Customers' BV.

Example: if your Customer Joe has 100BV, and Joe refers 2 Customers (100BV each), and one of the refers a Customer (100BV), that is a total of 400BV from Customer Joe.You'll receive 15% of that 400, or $65. Your Sponsor would receive 5% of 80% of that 400, which is 320. So 320x5% = $16. Everyone in the Unilevel upline would also receive the same 5% of 80% of the 400BV.

One Generation includes all the Distributors’ PV in any Sponsor Tree Leg between one qualified Key Master and the next qualified Key Master in each personally sponsored leg. You must achieve the Pin Rank of at least Key Master, and then have at least one Key Master in your organization, for a Generation to be created.

Generational Volume is the total Group Volume between one Key Master (or higher) to the next Key Master (or higher) in any one leg. A Generation begins when a Qualified Key Master is found in any leg of your personal Sponsor Tree and ends with, but does not include, the next Qualified Key Master or higher.

Generational Bonus is the 5% paid to you for this total Generational Volume between you and that next Key Master, however deep they are in your Unilevel. In other words, the Generational Bonus pays you 5% based on the Personal Volume of each Distributor in a Generation. Generational Volume and Generational Bonus can go past the standard Unilevel 10 Levels, to infinity.

You can be paid on up to 5 generations deep. The higher your rank, the more generations you can be paid on.

Because it is tied to the location of Key Masters, Generational Volume can include volume far beyond the normal 10 levels that are considered for Unilevel commissions. This encourages you to work with people far beyond your Unilevel.

Generational Bonuses start getting paid once you reach the Pin Rank of Key Master and you have at least one Key Master somewhere in your Sponsor Tree.

The Global Leadership Summit is a yearly Incentive Trip given to those who reach Key Master and above.You can win this trip every year that you maintain as paid rank of KM+ for 6 out of 12 rolling months. It’s an all-inclusive stay for two (for the KM+ Distributor and their significant other) at the Grand Wailea Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Maui, Hawaii, awarded annually.

No one will be allowed to pay to attend; only qualified KM+ Distributors will be invited each year. Flight/accommodations are covered by company.

Group Qualifying Volume (GQV) is derived from your entire Sponsor Tree volume (all levels, even past Level 10). This includes the Qualifying Volume of everything purchased in the past calendar month: Personal Sales Volume, ALL Sponsor Tree First and Upgrade Orders, and 80% of all Retail/Preferred Customers Qualifying Volume going to all levels. In other words, everything in your Sponsor tree. (again, your own PQV is included in the GQV)

GQV is used to qualify your Pin & Paid Rank in the Unilevel Bonus program. Your rank may change month to month, dependent upon the amount of your GQV.

Note, even though the maximum we can get paid in our Unilevel is through Level 10, GQV for ranking purposes includes the volume of everyone in your Sponsor Tree.

GQV will reflect the full GV of a product, not any discounts. For instance, after a Distributor is on autoship for 3 months, they start receiving a 5% discount (see Autoship). The GQV of one bottle will be 50 QV, but the Group Bonusable Volume of that bottle will show the 5% discount, or 47.5 BV.

Group Bonusable Volume is often shortened to just Group Volume (GV). They mean the same thing.

Group Volume is derived from your Sponsor Tree volume going through Level 10. It includes any Personal Sales Volume (aka PV) and Customer Orders. It does not include First Orders or Upgrade Orders which are special orders that make up your Placement Team Volume (PTV) and paid through weekly Placement Team Commissions.

GV is used to determine your Unilevel Monthly Commissions. You are paid 15% L1, and 5% L2-L10.

GV will reflect any discounts that a Distributor receives. For instance, after a Distributor is on autoship for 6 months, they start receiving a 10% discount (see Autoship). The GBV of one bottle will be 45 BV, but the Group Qualifying Volume of that bottle will be the full 50 BV. This discount will not interfere with a Distributor’s 50, 100, or 200 BV requirements.

Distributors you sign up are always on your Level One. The Distributors they sign up are on your Level Two. The Distributors they sign up are on your Level Three, and so on. Which row they are on in the Binary has no bearing on which Level they are in your organization. Rows and Levels are two different tracking systems based on the same binary tree.

Maximum Weekly PTC is the maximum amount of money that each Distributor can earn each week from their Placement Team Commissions (PTC). The maximum is based on both your Pin Rank and your Status Level. It ranges from a low of $1,000 to a high of $25,000 each week.

At Ruby Rank, all Status Levels move up to a Max PTC of $7500/week. At Emerald Rank, all Status Levels move to a Max PTC of $1000/week. At Diamond Rank, all Status Levels move to a Max PTC of $15,000 a week.At Key Master and above,the maximum is $25,000.

You stay at your maximum as long as you remain qualified at that pin rank.

We get paid any new maximum for 4 weeks following the confirmation of the paid rank. If we remain qualified at that rank, we continue getting paid at that new maximum.

Regular Order— any order placed by a Distributor beyond their First or Upgrade order. These orders make up the Unilevel commissions (e.g., 15% L1, 5% L2-10)

Customer Order— any order placed by a non-Distributor.
First Order— the very first order placed by a new Distributor. Often this is a larger order

purchased in order to achieve a Status Level.

Upgrade— a Distributor can place a special one-time order at any time within the first 8 weeks of signing up, in order to jump up to a higher Status Level.

Pay Leg refers to whichever of the two legs has the least amount of BV. (see Placement Team Commissions)

Personal Qualifying First Order refers to the Bonus Value (BV) of product initially purchased by a Distributor and is used to determine their Status Level. New Distributors who wish to increase their Status can do so by purchasing more product during their initial 8 weeks in Alphay. Otherwise they need to qualify via the first orders of their PSD.

Everyone is automatically upgraded to the 20% Status Level once they reach Diamond Pin Rank.

Pin Rank the highest rank for which you have ever qualified.

Paid Rank is the Rank level you qualify for in a given month. This is determined by the total GQV (Qualifying Qualifying Volume). Your Paid Rank may change from one pay period to the next.

Paid Rank is the key to getting paid fully in as many Unilevels as possible. Paid Rank is also the key to earning Generation Bonuses, Rank Achievement Bonuses (up to $1 million), and winning the Audi automobile. Also see Qualified Paid Rank.

Placement Team Volume (PTV) is 80% of the total BV of all first time orders that occur in the most recent week. There will be PTV in the Right Leg, and PTV in the Left Leg. PTV is separate from Carryover Volume.

Because PTV is created solely from Distributors’ First/Upgrade Orders (80% of these), PTV is an indication of new growth and new people. The power of PTV is that it's calculated not just from your Sponsor Tree volume, but also from your Placement Tree volume. Meaning that PTV is not only from legs of people you sign up, but also from the legs of people placed there by your upline.

After getting paid your weekly commissions on your PTV (called Placement Team Commissions or PTC), the PTV on your Pay Leg is set to zero every Sunday morning (Pacific Time) at 12:01AM, and then starts to accumulate again until the following Saturday evening, midnight.

The new weekly PTV on your Power Leg is added to any Carryover Volume that has accumulated from the past.

You are paid a Placement Team Commissions (PTC) once a week based on your Placement Team Status (ie, 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%).

Your Placement Team Commissions is paid on 80% of the total PTV on your smaller leg of your two legs each week. This is why the smaller leg is called the Pay Leg. The larger leg is called the Power Leg.

At the start of each week, the Power Leg’s PTV is reduced by the amount of the Pay Leg's PTV. The remaining PTV in the Power Leg is called Carryover Volume. The Pay Leg’s PTV is reset to zero and the week begins again.

To be eligible for PTC, you must have at least 2 Active PSD, one in the Left leg and one in the Right leg, each qualification period, starting from the 5th week of your enrollment. You essentially only need one PSD on your Power Leg, the rest can be placed in your Pay Leg. However, if for any reason that Active PSD in the Power Leg doesn’t place an order that month, you could lose your PTC for that week of Inactive Status by that sole PSD in your Power Leg. Therefore it is advisable to have a few PSDs in your Power Leg.

Placement Tree refers to every single person in your own binary (your organization), regardless who put them there. Each position in your binary can be filled by you, your upline, or by someone already in your network. Placement Tree is only useful for understanding how Placement Team Volume and Placement Team Commissions are calculated.

As an Alphay Distributor, you get paid to build one network. You get compensated for building this one network through two relationships that get created through your network. These are Placement relationship (called a 'tree') and the Sponsor relationship or tree. Your Placement tree determines your weekly commission based on the very “first orders” in each week (or any subsequent Upgrade Orders made in the first 8 weeks), while your Sponsorship tree determines your monthly commissions based on re-orders that will take place each month.

Power Leg refers to whichever of your two binary legs has more Placement Team Volume. The Power Leg and the Pay Leg can switch back and forth, depending on which one has more PTV in a given week.

Because PTV all comes from brand new Distributors, the Power Leg is the leg that is experiencing the most growth and excitement.

A Preferred Customer is one who signs up on autoship (aka Sign Up & Save). This gives them the same prices as Distributor prices.

The other kind of customer is Retail Customer, who is not on autoship and pays Retail Price (about 25% above Distributor price).

Any time a Distributor brings in 3 new Consumers inside one calendar month, they'll receive a $30 product voucher; 5 or more Consumers gets a $50 product voucher.

Effective any calendar month (beyond the first month).

Qualified Paid Rank refers to your Rank during a given calendar month, and is determined by your total Sponsor Tree volume (going past your 10 Unilevel Levels, to infinity) during that month. Your QPR is dynamic and can change from one pay period to the next as your group BV goes up or down. Pin Rank, on the other hand, is fixed and will always be equal to the highest Rank you’ve ever attained. (see Paid Rank, too)

Once you get to Emerald Pin rank and above, you start getting a cash bonus for each of those pin ranks, ranging from $5,000 cash at Emerald to $1,000,000 cash at Five-Star Key Master.

At Emerald and Diamond your Rank Achievement Bonus is paid once you maintain the pin’s Group Qualifying Volume (GQV) for 3 calendar months in any 12-month rolling period (ie: at least 3 times in the following 11 months).

At Diamond through Five-Star Key Master, your Rank Achievement Bonuses are paid once you maintain the pin’s GVQ for 6 calendar months in any 12-month rolling period (ie, at least 6 times in the following 11 months).

At Second-Star Key Master (which has a GQV of 200,000), in place of cash, you are given a credit of up to $75,000 to purchase an Audi automobile (not a lease, but the clear title; the car is yours). If the Audi you want costs less than the $75,000, Alphay will pay for the car plus send you the difference.

Retail Customers are those who choose not to get onto Autoship (aka Sign Up & Save), and pay the full Retail Price. The Retail Price is generally around 20-25% more than Distributor Price.

The other kind of customer is the Preferred Customer: those who sign up on autoship (aka Sign Up & Save), and get the same price as Distributors.

The difference in price between your Distributor Price and Retail Price is paid to the Distributor, regardless if the Distributor is Active or Inactive.

Sponsor refers to the person who brings a Distributor into Alphay. Your sponsor is your first upline. Your sponsor's sponsor is your second level upline, and so on.

Sponsor Tree refers to the connections between sponsors and PSDs throughout your binary. It begins with every PSD you have brought in (called Level 1), followed by every Distributor they sponsored (your Level 2), followed by every Distributor they sponsored (your Level 3), and so on down to Level 10. These 10 levels are also referred to as your Unilevel.You are paid on the total Personal Volume (PV) of everyone in your Unilevel.

As an Alphay Distributor, you get compensated to build one network. This network is comprised of two relationships—the Placement relationship/tree and the Sponsor relationship/tree.

Sponsor Tree Volume includes the Bonusable Volume of your entire Sponsor Tree organization, all levels to infinity, including your own Personal Sales Volume.

In the first 8 calendar weeks of signing up, any Distributor can upgrade from the 5% or 10% Status to a 15% Status. The highest Status that can be purchased is the 15% Status. This upgrade is done through a special one-time only Status Upgrade Order. The order will be based on BV difference between the Statuses.

Example: if you are at 10% Status and want to upgrade to 15% Status, the difference in those two—350BV and 700BV—is what needs to be purchased in the Upgrade Order.

If a Distributor does not renew their $25 yearly membership, a red (T) will appear under their name in the Back Office.This signifies that the position has been terminated, and the account cancelled.

After an inactivity period of 6 months, the person can come back under the sponsor of their choice, in the first available position at the bottom of the placement tree, as a brand new distributor. They do not retain any downline, rank, or status level from their previous account.

The terminated names will remain in the network, and can't be removed. (you will see a red (T) under their names. However, these terminated positions do not negatively affect your commissions.

Unilevel is another name for the 10 levels of your Sponsor Tree. (see Sponsor Tree)

You are paid a matching bonus equal to 10% of the Unilevel Bonus Check of every PSD you sign up (ie, everyone on your Level 1). You are also paid a 5% matching bonus for every Distributor your PSDs sign up (everyone on your Level 2), and 5% on down through Level 5.

Unilevel Monthly Commissions are what you are paid on the performance of your Unilevel. You are paid 15% of the total Personal Volume (PV) of every one on your Level 1 (everyone you've ever signed up), and then 5% of everyone on Levels 2 through 10.

An Upgrade Order is a special, one-time optional order that can be made only once, and only inside a Distributor's first 8 weeks of enrollment.

Its purpose is to upgrade ones Status. Example: to get from 10% to 15%, you'd need an order of 350 BV (700-350). To get from 10% to 15%, you'd need 525 BV (700-175).

The Upgrade Order can be done through ones Back Office; on the home page, there is a place for this order. If a Distributor is past their 8 week cutoff, or they are already at 15% Status, or have already placed their Upgrade Order, this option will disappear, and an Upgrade of Status will not be able to be made (until a Distributor reaches Diamond Pin Rank, at which time their Status is automatically upgraded to 20% (regardless of what Status they were at). An Upgrade Order can also be phoned into the Home Office.

Upline is the single line of sponsors that precedes you in the binary tree, starting with your sponsor (your 1st level upline), then their sponsor (your 2nd level upline), their sponsor (your 3rd level upline), and so on.
