The Know Now Foundation

The Know Now Foundation (KNF) is a registered entity in the state of Arizona
and is under the Plexus Worldwide, Inc., corporate umbrella. The purpose of
KNF is to:
1. Accept, distribute and account for direct gifts of BCKs to KNF

2. The 12 Pack + 50% matching contribution of 6 = 18 BCKs gifts
3. The 8 Pack + 50% matching contribution of 4 = 12 BCKs gifts
4. The 4 Pack + 50% matching contribution of 2 = 6 BCKs gifts

Plexus IAs Gifting the Initial Product Order
While it is suggested that a new IA accept delivery of their initial product order to
familiarize themselves with the BCK product and for use in promoting their
business, gifting the initial order is also an option. On the online sign-up
application, towards the bottom of the page, you will find a link in the left side
margin called, “About Gifting”. Upon clicking that link this text message is
displayed:

Your generous product gift will go to the Know Now Foundation to be distributed
to health clinics, hospitals and charitable organizations where product will
be gifted to women at risk who will benefit from early detection of disease
or peace of mind.

When you click on the Know Now Foundation link within that message, this
information is displayed:

The Know Now Foundation (KNF) is part of the Plexus Worldwide, Inc., corporate
family. KNF is solely purposed and dedicated to working with Ambassadors to
identify appropriate organizations to receive and then distribute product gifts to
appropriate recipients throughout the world.

Directly to the right of the “About Gifting” link the new IA is offered the option to
gift their intial product purchase. All they need do is to check the box next to the
line that states:

By checking this box, I elect to gift my $499 or $199 product purchase.

Gifting Your Autoship


The setup and activation process for gifting of autoship purchases is found 2
places.

1. The Activate Autoship section of the sign-up application


2. The Home page of your Online Office

On the sign-up application, in the “Activate Autoship” section (directly below


“About Gifting” and the “Donating The Initial Product Order” section described
above) you’ll see these 2 options:

By checking this box, I agree to and Activate Autoship and GIFT MY ORDER
By checking this box, I agree to and Activate Autoship and RECEIVE DELIVERY

To the left of each option a “check box” is provided so that the new IA MUST
choose their preference (there is no default). This process is both direct and
obvious and should circumvent mistakes and misconceptions. Additionally,
immediately to the left of each stated option is a link that provides further details
on that choice.
When “About Gifting Autoship” is selected this message is displayed:

Autoship purchase of 4 Breast Chek Kits will occur each month on the
anniversary of your initial enrollment date and be gifted to The Know Now
Foundation along with a 50% matching gift of 2 BCKs. Payment is collected via
the credit card on record. Autoship is required to be commission qualified.

When “About Receiving Autoship” is selected this message is displayed:

Autoship purchase of 4 Breast Chek Kits will occur each month on the
anniversary of your initial enrollment date and be shipped to your address on file.
Payment is collected via the credit card on record. Autoship is required to be
commission qualified.

The second place where setup for autoship gifting/receiving is found is on the
“Home” page of your Online Office. Upon login, if your autoship is presently setup
to receive delivery, displayed in the bottom center of the Online Office “Home“
page you’ll see this information:

You are currently receiving delivery of your autoship order. To change and
gift to The Know Now Foundation, Click Here

If you are presently gifting your autoship purchase, displayed in the bottom
center of the page is this information:

You are currently gifting your autoship order to The Know Now Foundation.
To change to receive delivery, Click Here

So, by simply reading and “clicking” your way through the text on the “Home”
page of your Online Office you can easily and predictably manage your autoship
preference between gifting and delivery.

KNF Q&A

Q: Do I have to wait until there is a recipient organization in my country to


to join Plexus or gift my product?
A: No. Until an appropriate recipient organization is designated in your country,
gifts will be accounted for, compiled, and put on a standby status for delivery at a
later date. Meanwhile, if you know of any appropriate recipient organizations in
your country, please forward the required pertinent information to us for
consideration.

Q: How do I submit a prospective nonprofit / charity to be considered to be


a KNF recipient?
A: If you know of a legitimate nonprofit, chartable organization you would like to
submit for consideration, please contact us at: knf@plexusworldwide.com. Here’s
the process:
1. Before approaching the prospective organization, send us an email that
includes your reasoning as to why the proposed organization would be an
appropriate recipient, and a link or URL to the proposed organization’s
website.
2. Once we have informed you that the proposed organization would be
acceptable as a KNF recipient, confirm with the organization that they
would be interested in receiving product gifts from KNF.
3. Confirm to whom they will be gifting the BCKs they receive.
4. Send us the name and contact information of the key contact person at
the organization.
(This information and an email link is provided at the bottom of The Know Now
Foundation “Recipients” page.

Q: Who is the contact for questions from recipient organizations about the
Know Now Foundation?
A: Questions can be submitted directly to customer service.

Q: Does KNF accept cash donations?


A: No. Only direct product gifts of BCKs gifted at the time of purchase are
accepted.

Q: Does KNF make cash donations?


A: No.

Q: Can I gift my product currently on hand to KNF?


A: No. If you desire that your product on hand go to a charity or nonprofit
organization, it would be easier and less costly for you to do that directly.

Q: Are gifts to KNF tax deductible?


A: Because tax laws vary from country to country, there is no one correct answer
to that question. So, for your protection, we suggest you seek advice on that from
a knowledgeable source in your country.

Q: Is my product order immediately gifted to the recipient organization in


my country?
A: Gifts are shipped to recipient organizations in master cartons consisting of
approximately 167 BCKs. Until enough product gifts are collected to make a
master carton, a running tally is kept and gifted product is on standby to be
delivered once the master carton minimum is met.

Q: Can an IA request that their personally gifted BCKs go to a specific


recipient?
A: KNF fully manages the gifting process including the dispersion of gifts on a
national, as opposed to local, basis. However, in most cases gifts will be directed
back to the general region where they originated, providing there is a KNF
recipient in that locale and circumstances allow.

Q: Can I personally gift my product to a local nonprofit or charity?


A: Yes. IAs/KNFAs can personally (and directly) gift BCKs to any recipient of
their choice. Of course, shipping the product to them will incur normal shipping
charges (for IAs, shipping charges are deductible from business profit).
Assuming their gift goes to a registered nonprofit, charitable organization, the
IA/KNFA can obtain a receipt directly from the organization for tax purposes.

Q: What proof of donation do I receive upon gifting product to KNF?


A: Because of the delay between the time your product is gifted to KNF and KNF
ships the master carton to the recipient, proof of donation/documentation is
necessarily delayed. If required, additional documentation can be forwarded at
the end of the tax year via the nonprofit recipient organization in your country,
including specific identification / charitable number, etc., of the recipient
organization.

Q: Can I gift part of my order and receive part of my order?


A: No. However, you can alternate monthly between gifting and accepting
delivery and achieve the same thing.

Q: How can I verify what happens to my product gifts?


A: On a quarterly basis an independent accounting firm will account for and
release a report to be posted on The Know Now Foundation “Home” page on the
KNF website.

Q: Does the recipient organization pay for shipping the kits to them?
A: No

Q: Can the recipient organization request BCK gifts if they know they need
more on hand?
A. No. Although a recipient organization would be welcome to alert KNF of their
need, fulfilling their request would still depend on current gifting levels and gifts
on hand.

Q: How often might shipments be delivered to a recipient organization?


A: Since there is no way for us to reliably project gifting activity, it’s not possible
to project the flow of gifts a recipient organization.

Q: I don’t understand. How does gifting make ME money?


A: Just as all product purchases, the volume created by gifts purchased will be
attributed to the lesser side of your You+2 position. Furthermore, full value of all
product orders generates volume on which commissions and bonuses are paid.
Q: This seems to good to be true. Are you SURE it’s legal?
A: While we understand the “too good to be true” reaction please know that all
aspects of this (and our entire) program have been thoroughly reviewed by our
MLM attorney. Network Marketing is a highly regulated industry and we strictly
comply with all laws governing our program and operations. For more information

“Plexus Corporate” link from the “Business Info” menu) and/or review the website
and background of our legal counsel.
