Here is an update about Bill Britt's actions in the UK related to his BWW support system:
It would appear another potential lawsuit is on the horizon. Britt
Worldwide dream builders and other network marketing mlm organizations
have given the impression they were waiting for Amway to reimburse and
compensate them for canceled functions.
My
source, who is a diamond has told me they were given the distinct
impression by Amway personnel that they would be compensated by then,
for cancelled funtions. He refers to the original letter from Amway 4th
may to quote
"Enquiries For example, if any IBO has a planned
meeting for which tickets have been sold (that is required to be
cancelled and ticket purchases refunded), or
they have unsold inventory of BSM, or
have
unsold Starter kits, or have completed applications not yet submitted
to Amway, they may contact the dedicated enquiry telephone number –
01908-629400 (press option 4)."
With respect this part of the letter can be interpreted any ways.
The following emails are quite interesting it would appear Amway was prepared to come some wazs and then backed off.
The
diamond has commented, luckily we did not have a seminar plan so our
people are not owed monies. However I know BWW owe around $75-$100
thousand dollars to their ibos.
it is a real mess, they are blaming Amway and visa versa.
I would think that the wealthy diamonds in the USA will foot the bill.
I
have met Bill Britt on one of the councel meetings in the past and
would say he is one of the most genuine honest people I have met. I am
surprised he has not sorted out this potential scandal earlier. He
obviouly has not been informed that his Uk ibos are hurting and have
not been reembursed.
It does beg the question that if the BWW
Britt World wide dream builders have known Amway were not going to
refund the ticket monies, what has happened to the 100k plus monies and
why have the 1000 approx. ibos not been refunded.
Accountabilty
is such a strong teaching point in all organizations, BWW are really
sending out the wrong message and it going to affect us all, if they
are not careful.
Lets hope Bill and Peggy Britt payout their uk
ibos, sooner rather than later, it is the right and honorable thing to
do. I think they will be horrified as to whats going on.
Lets hope the DTI in the UK, do not get involved in this.

Dear Diamonds,
Please
find attached a copy of the guidelines that Amway will use to address
reimbursing appropriate costs for event cancellation. To treat every
situation equally Amway will not stray from these guidelines. We
appreciate your cooperation in this process. This attachment addresses
what costs Amway will cover, what is required before this cost will be
address and the duration of this support. I hope that this will answer
any questions you or your groups may have on this subject.
Sincerely

GUIDELINES FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CANCELLED MEETINGS:
Amway
will consider offering reimbursement to IBOs who have planned events
that now need to be cancelled due to the change of UK operations dated
4th May.
Before reimbursement will be considered by Amway the following needs to take place:
1.
Evidence provided to Amway to satisfy them that the meeting has been
cancelled (a formalised letter sent out to the group by the provider of
the meeting for example).
2. Refunds offered to those who have purchased tickets.
3. All refunds have been processed and documents that support this are provided to Amway.
4.
All other supporting documentation that relates to the reimbursement
are provided to Amway. This would include copies of contracts signed
with venues that evidence cancellation fees are required, invoices that
demonstrate charges have been made etc.
5. Amway requires that meetings be cancelled promptly in response to our original requests for suspending such events.
Amway
considers its reimbursement of venue costs as appropriate support. No
costs associated with speaker fees, travel arrangements, accommodation
etc will be reimbursed. These are the costs of doing business and will
remain the responsibility of the IBO. No other costs outside of venue
fees will be reimbursed.
Reimbursement as mentioned above will
apply only to those meetings that were scheduled, booked and promoted
prior to May 4th and were due to take place from that date (May 4th) up
to the date that meeting suspensions are lifted.
Please note
that failure to reimburse ticket-holders could result in Amway seeking
such reimbursement on behalf of the ticket-holder, from bonuses of
responsible ticket-sellers.

Subject: Important clarification to my note of yesterday re: cancellation costs
Dear Leader,
After
further clarification from my upline, we need to clarify that any venue
costs that Amway will consider will be in the form of a loan deducted
from your bonuses. Therefore, ultimately Amway cannot bear any net
financial liability for the cancellation of meetings for which tickets
have been sold.
We appreciate your co-operation and understanding at this time.
Yours sincerely,
Ben Woodward
