Dear Independent Herbalife Member,

As a representative of the Herbalife brand, your words, your actions and your appearance have a powerful impact.

As a Member, you have the unique advantage of using the power of our global brand in your marketing efforts.

By following this guide, you will learn how to properly talk about Herbalife and the brand, and develop messaging that clearly,

effectively and consistently communicates the brand.

Guidelines for Proper Use of Logos

Logo Usage

The correct use of logos strengthens the Herbalife brand and helps prevent violation of other companies' trademark rights.

Trademark markings used in this guide are illustrative. Check which markings are correct for your market before referring to or using any brands or graphics in

marketing and promotional materials.

1. Corporate Logo This logo is not to be used by Independent Herbalife Members.

Do not use the corporate logo without the “Independent Herbalife Member” lockup, except on apparel. This is the only exception.

Horizontal Logo Stacked Logo

Page 3Do use assets provided in their entirety, with no alterations.

2. Independent Herbalife Member Logo

The Independent Herbalife Member logo that we provide is the primary means

to communicate your identity as an Independent Herbalife Member to the

public. It consists of three basic elements:

a. The tri-leaf symbol

b. The Herbalife word mark

c. The Independent Herbalife Member text*

Horizontal Logo

Stacked Logo

Guidelines for Proper Use of Logos

* Herbalife has discontinued the use of the "Independent Herbalife Distributor" logo.

Use assets with the Independent Herbalife Member logo only.

DON'TSDo not use the logos shown below, as they are discontinued:

The tri-leaf symbol must not be used by itself or separated

from the word "Herbalife."

Registration MarkIn the logo, a marking appears next to the word Herbalife. Most often,

this is a registration mark: ®. Markings let others know that Herbalife protects

its brand, and they establish ownership and significant investment. Remember

that you must always use the correct markings authorized for your market.

To find out what is correct, consult the current product catalog for examples.

®

Casual Apparel and Accessories

Herbalife encourages Members to use and display the Herbalife

trademarks, logos and symbols in your business, provided their use

is in compliance with the rules. Use of Herbalife trademarks, including

logos, is attributable to Herbalife, and the quality of the materials

and the accuracy of the reproduction of the trademarks can affect

their value. Displaying Herbalife marks and designs on poor-quality

materials, or in a sloppy way, can damage the value and affect the

reputation of Herbalife and your Herbalife business, and the operations

of other Members. For this reason, any time that you display Herbalife

marks, logos or other properties, including on the items listed above,

as well as in advertising or marketing materials, you must:

Use high-quality materials (including image files) that are acceptable to industry standards for the kind of item you are branding.

Follow these brand guidelines strictly.

Herbalife Members may not use the Herbalife Nutrition logo without the "Independent Herbalife Member" wording on apparel or promotional accessories when the Member's contact information is included.

Members may sell business tools, such as clothing,

to other Members at a price no greater than the

cost to produce the product being sold.

When making the apparel, Members should ensure to meet industry standards for quality.

Never use the tri-leaf device on sports or fitness apparel or equipment, and on other sports garments, and never use the tri-leaf by itself.

Guidelines for Proper Use of Logos

DON'T display the

marks, logos or

designs on items

that are branded

for some other

OVERVIEW

Using Herbalife SKIN products is a beautiful ritual. A true revelation with powerful results that can be experienced time and again. It’s a story told to the rhythm of

each new day, with a promise that stretches across morning, noon and night. One way to convey this is through imagery in the marketing materials. The imagery

should convey a vibrant and uplifting energy and speak to the glow within.

Advertising the Brand, Products and Business Opportunity

Internet:

• Personal websites: You can use product images provided

that they are approved for marketing in the country where

you do business and the statements correspond to those

country. All Members who use the Internet to sell products

for delivery in the United States and Canada must do so

exclusively through the GoHerbalife platform.

• Auction sites: The sale of products on auction sites is

prohibited. Sales on auction websites are not consistent

with Herbalife's business model, because this type of sales

weakens the personal relationship between Members and

clients, the Herbalife brand and the image that the company

wants to set for its products.

• Unsolicited email "spam": Sending unsolicited email

(spam) as a means to advertise Herbalife® products

violates the law and Herbalife Rules of Conduct.

• Domain/website registration: Members may maintain a

website to promote their business, Herbalife® products and

their organization. However, Members may not register/

use the word "Herbalife" as part of their URL. Members

may not use the word “Herbalife” in their title tags and

meta tags.

Advertising Guidelines

DO use a URL that is appropriate.

DON'T register/use Herbalife as part of your URL.

Product Advertising

When advertising with product claims, it is important to remember that Herbalife® products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or

prevent any disease, and should never be represented that way.

• The advertisement should be true and not misleading.

• You may only make approved claims that appear on Herbalife® product labels, catalogs and official materials.

• Only claims specifically approved by Herbalife for each product on its label should be used. See the Guide to Making Claims for more details on MyHerbalife.com.

• Claims about Herbalife® products that may cure a disease or medical problem are strictly prohibited. This includes personal statements about solving a health problem, like diabetes, digestive disorders or curing a medical condition.

• No references are to be made to “prevention,” “improvement”, “cure” or “alleviation” of illnesses.

You should always check the product catalog to see whether the claim you are making needs to be accompanied by the following disclaimer: "These statements have

not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

Advertising Guidelines

• References to “health” or “improving health” must not be made solely in relation to the products. “Well-being” is a useful alternative.

• The use of statements, such as “recommended by the medical field / authorities,” “healthy,” “rejuvenating,” etc., is not permissible.

• The use of statements, such as "natural," "natural origin," "100% natural," etc., is forbidden.

• You must clearly indicate any required disclaimers.

All claims should always be accompanied by the appropriate disclaimer. For the United States: "Consumers who use Herbalife® Formula 1 twice per day as part of a

healthy lifestyle can generally expect to lose around 0.5 to 1 pound per week. Participants in a 12-week, single-blind study used Formula 1 twice per day (once as a

meal and once as a snack) with a reduced-calorie diet and a goal of 30 minutes of exercise per day. Participants followed either a high-protein diet or a standard protein

diet. Participants in both groups lost about 8.5 pounds."

Advertising the Cristiano Ronaldo Sponsorship

Herbalife sponsorship of Cristiano Ronaldo is a huge asset for creating global brand exposure. However, because it is a contractual

guidelines will provide everyone with great opportunities to promote Herbalife and Herbalife® products.

Logos and Images

• Members may use only Cristiano Ronaldo's image in marketing tools made available for download at MyHerbalife.com, offered for

purchase in the company’s current catalog or made available from Member Services upon request.

• Members may use Cristiano Ronaldo marketing assets as provided. These tools may not be edited and altered in any way.

• Members may not create their own brochures, flyers or any other marketing tools using Ronaldo's CR7 logo, images or video or

audio files.

Remember to only use approved materials when promoting the Ronaldo sponsorship. You can download these materials by logging in to

MyHerbalife.com, in the "Business Essentials" section. Note: Countries to localize this based on the location of the assets.
