Introduction
Our Code of Ethics guides our decisions and actions. The
Code of Ethics is an articulation of essential values and
represents a structure for decision-making. We ultimately
rely upon individual actions of our employees around the
world regarding our integrity, reputation and profitability.
Each individual is personally accountable for compliance
with our Code. The Standards must be interpreted and applied
within the framework of the laws and traditions of the jurisdictions
in which we operate, as well as taking into consideration
our policies and good common sense. We must be conscious
of avoiding circumstances and actions that give the appearance
of an impropriety or wrongdoing.
Our Core Company Principles
Online Distribution is committed to maintaining and perpetuating
the highest standards of ethics and business conduct. These
principles flow through all of our dealings including our
relationships with our employees, customers, suppliers,
shareholders, competitors, and the communities in which
we operate.
The Online Code of Conduct has
been developed to help further the Company's key values
and to illustrate our commitment to unquestionable organizational
integrity. The code sets our values and standards that guide
us in the conduct of our businesses. Although we operate
in various geographic areas, our values and code of conduct
have universal applications.
Online Employees
We will treat each other with respect and fairness at all
times. We are dedicated to maintaining uniform equal opportunity
employment practices. We will respect each other's privacy
and treat each other with dignity and respect regardless
of age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion,

healthy work environment for all employees.

We are committed to providing high quality, competitive
pricing and honest transactions. All dealings with our customers
will be done lawfully and ethically.

We will deal honestly and fairly with our suppliers. We
will source product without discrimination, in a manner
supportive of mutually beneficial, long-term relationships.
Online Competitors
We will compete aggressively, but fairly, for business and

Online Communities
We desire to be responsible corporate community members.
Our policies will be designed to comply with international,
national and local laws. We will strive to contribute to
our communities through the encouragement of employee involvement
and corporate benevolence.
