MonaVie Files to Dismiss Quixtar Lawsuit
SALT LAKE CITY (Business Wire EON) April 16, 2008 --
MonaVie LLC (www.monavie.com),
creator of the leading nutritional acai blend beverage, yesterday filed
to dismiss a lawsuit brought last month by Quixtar North America, a
sister company to Amway Corporation. In the court filing, MonaVie claims
that the Quixtar suit is without merit.
“Out of our commitment to protect the
interests of MonaVie and independent distributors everywhere, we filed a
complaint against Quixtar/Amway regarding their aggressive non-compete
clauses,” said Dallin Larsen, MonaVie founder
and president. “The following day, Amway filed
a complaint of its own against MonaVie. We believe that Amway’s
claims are baseless, and were made solely in response to the suit that
we filed.”
MonaVie filed its lawsuit on March 17, 2008, asking the court to rule
whether Quixtar/Amway has been over-reaching the boundaries of its
non-compete agreements and address whether or not such agreements are
enforceable for independent distributors. MonaVie believes that all
direct selling companies should allow distributors to work for any
company they choose.
“Non-compete agreements are meant for
corporate executives, not for independent distributors who pay their own
expenses, taxes, and healthcare,” continued
Mr. Larsen. “We hope the court will dismiss
Quixtar’s lawsuit and allow independent
distributors to focus on making a living so they may support their
families in these tough economic times.”
