6. The acts and practices of the defendants were or are in or affecting commerce, as "commerce" is defined in Section 4 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 44.

DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this Order, the following definitions apply:

1. "Defendants" means JewelWay International, Inc., Bruce A. Caruth, Robert J. Charette, Jr., Donilyn A. Walden, and Greg G. Stewart.
2. "Relief defendants" means Angela D. Charette and Beverly Stewart.
3. "Multi-level marketing program" means any marketing program in which sales revenue comes primarily from retail sales to persons who are not connected in any way to the company engaged in multi-level marketing ("the company"), including as representatives. Under this definition, sales to businesses or corporations connected to the company or to its participants, or to members of a participant's household, or otherwise not solely for the purpose of sale of the product to a person with no connection to the company's sales force, shall not be considered retail sales; should a retail customer subsequently establish such a connection by becoming a representative, any prior sales made to that customer within ten days of becoming a representative shall be considered an internal sale from the time of sale and shall not be considered a retail sale for any purpose at any time. This definition also requires that the company has instituted and enforces rules to ensure it is not selling a program where sales revenues do not come primarily from recruiting additional representatives rather than by the sale of goods or services to persons not eligible to recruit representatives into the marketing program.
4. "Chain or pyramid marketing program" is a sales device whereby a person, under a condition that he or she make a payment, directly or indirectly, even if a good or service is received in return for the payment, is granted a license or right to recruit for consideration one or more additional persons who are also granted a license or right upon condition of making a payment, directly or indirectly, even if a good or service is received in return for the payment, and may further perpetuate the chain or pyramid of persons who are granted a license or right upon such condition. A limitation as to the number of persons who may participate, or the presence of additional conditions affecting eligibility for the above license or right to recruit or the receipt of the profits therefrom, does not change the identity of the program as a chain or pyramid marketing program.
5. "Representative" means any person or entity that pays money to the defendants in return for the right to (1) recruit additional participants, or have additional participants placed by the promoter or any other person into the participant's downline, tree, cooperative, income center, or other similar program grouping; (2) sell goods or services; and (3) receive payment or other compensation.
6. "Product" means anything purchased by a representative except non-jewelry sales aids.
7. "Receivership estate" means the business operations of JewelWay and all funds, properties, premises and other assets directly or indirectly owned, beneficially or otherwise, wherever situated, that relate to the business operations of JewelWay, specifically including the premises at 5151 E. Broadway, Tucson, Arizona, and 5210 E. Williams Circle, Tucson, Arizona, excluding defendants' personal residences, except to the extent that business records are maintained there.
