All IBN Members Agree To The Following
IBN Core Principles

To abide by the highest standards of cleanliness and quality in the manufacture of my products, in order to promote superior quality products and the safety of the consuming public.
To provide the public with useful, reliable and truthful information about the benefits of the products and services I offer.
To compete within the bounds of the law, respecting others' ownership rights in their intellectual property and the expression of their ideas.
To abide by all federal and state laws concerning the manufacture and sale of the products and services I offer.
I understand that if I have the products liability insurance member benefit, the policy will expire a year from today. I further acknowledge that the insurance broker will not send me a renewal notice and that it is my responsibility to renew my membership with insurance before it expires 12 months from today, or the policy and IBN membership will lapse. This does not apply to me if I am renewing without IBN's insurance program.
This section applies only to cosmetics companies: I understand that compliance with the Fair Labeling & Packaging Act and the US Food, Drug & Cosmetics Act is my responsibility, and that I can find information about both at the FDA's website at this link. I understand and agree that failure to comply with these laws may result in termination of my IBN membership and/or insurance without any refund.

Yes! I Agree To Abide By IBN's Core Principles
