We received an email yesterday from a distributor in the UK letting us know about a new price rule for distributors in the UK.

Basically, it’s now unacceptable to display prices on a website (or other advertisements) for the general public. Here’s the information, directly from Herbalife’s announcement:

Dear Distributors,

Internet Price Advertising Rule Being Introduced to the UK from October 1^st, 2009

Following extensive consultations with our Distributor leadership groups, Herbalife is pleased to announce that it is implementing the following additional rule, which will come in to force in the UK on 1st October 2009.This rule covers Price Advertising and focusses on ensuring that we protect the person to person nature of our business for all Distributors.
