Fundraisers and Charities
For fundraisers and charitable donations, Consultants can choose how much money to donate from their sales.
Paparazzi recommends always using the mandated prices, even for fundraisers. If Paparazzi Accessories are sold above the mandated prices, Consultants are solely responsible to consult with their local tax advisors as to whether they have thereby incurred sales tax liability and, if there is a liability, to remit the sales tax (on the difference between the mandated prices and the actual sales prices) to their state sales tax commissions. General Sales Tax Information Paparazzi does not provide tax or legal advice to Consultants.
Consultants can give away and/or donate as many Paparazzi Accessories as they choose. If the Accessories given to charities or fundraisers are to be raffled or auctioned, the Consultants themselves cannot do the raffling (pursuant to Section 5.11 of Paparazzi Policies and Procedures). The organization receiving the Accessories must conduct the raffle. If the Consultant conducts the auction, prices for the Accessories must start at the mandated prices. If the charity conducts the auction, there is no such restriction on the charity.
A Consultant can host a fundraiser for third parties (non-household members). For example: a fundraiser for a neighbor who has a house fire or a friend who needs help with her baby’s funeral expenses. A Consultant can post about fundraisers for children’s school, sports, Girl Scouts or Scouts, church, dance and cheer, where those fundraisers are sponsored by third parties (the school, the team, the organization, the church, etc.). The Consultant can post these fundraisers on his/her personal page–even when Paparazzi is mentioned or sold there–and not his/her Paparazzi business page.
If the fundraiser is sponsored by the Consultant's household and benefits the Consultant’s household, that fundraiser should not be posted on the personal page or the business page where Paparazzi is mentioned or sold. SECOND BUSINESSES
Consultants have an ethical obligation to actually donate the advertised proceeds to the named charitable cause.
