Ok, so I wanted to make shirts for our team so we all have the same
color at convention. I have our there doTERRA Indepentant Consultant
(the logo)and then under it I put our team name under that..... Is
this ok? I'm not selling these shirts. They are just so we can find
each other and we are proud to be apart of doTERRA. Let me know if I
along with many other teams are going to get in trouble at
convention...not all people whereing these shirts are going to be
SILVERS.
I do know you don't have to be Silver to get an idoterra site or
thinkdoterra probably because they are approved by the company, right.
Wow there is so many questions... I dont' want to misrepresent the
company for SURE. or am I "Straining out a knat"?
Thanks!
