Body enforces stringent MLM code
Fri, Mar 12, 2010
my paper
As far back as 1977, DSAS
started working closely with the Consumers Association of Singapore
(Case) to remove all forms of malpractice in the direct-selling
industry, such as high-pressure sales tactics and false
promises.
The public can be assured that their interests are
protected if they join a DSAS member. DSAS member companies
have to uphold a stringent Code of Ethics,
including allowing new customers a seven-day cooling-off
period to cancel their contract without penalty.
This is two days more than the industry
standard.
Member companies of DSAS are not
allowed to put undue pressure on their distributors
or get them to have more inventory than they can
sell. The public can report companies suspected of
flouting this rule to Case and DSAS.

DSAS is also in collaboration with another market
regulator, the Commercial Affairs Department( CAD of SPF
).
DSAS appeals to the public and to those aspiring to
become self-made MLM entrepreneurs to
transact only with DSAS member companies, to ensure that only best business and
ethical practices are carried out.
