Quixtar and the Direct Selling Association
Quixtar Inc. is a member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), the national trade association of more than 150 leading firms that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers.
The DSA's mission is "To protect, serve and promote the effectiveness of member companies and the independent business people they represent. To ensure that the marketing by member companies of products and/or the direct sales opportunity is conducted with the highest level of business ethics and service to consumers."
The cornerstone of the DSA's commitment to ethical business practices and consumer service is its Code of Ethics. Every member company pledges to abide by the Code's standards and procedures as a condition of admission and continuing membership in the Association.
The DSA Code of Ethics speaks to both the consumer and the seller. It ensures that member companies will make no statements or promises that might mislead either consumers or prospective sales people. Pyramid schemes are illegal and companies operating pyramids are not permitted to be members of the DSA.
The DSA Code of Ethics is enforced by an independent code administrator who is not connected with any member company. The code administrator does everything possible to resolve any complaints to the satisfaction of all involved, and has the power to decide on remedies. All member companies have agreed to honor the administrator's decisions.
