ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this prospectus to “we,” “us,” the “Company” and “VCBD” mean Vitalibis, Inc. and, where appropriate, our consolidated subsidiaries.
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
We, and the selling stockholders and selling warrant holder may offer and sell these securities to or through one or more underwriters, dealers and agents, or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis.
This prospectus describes some of the general terms that may apply to the securities offered by us or the selling stockholders or the selling warrant holder, and the general manner in which they may be offered.
This Form S-1 and prospectus relating thereto includes:
(a) | the sale of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock by the Company (the "Company’s Securities"), |
(b) | the resale of 5,321,400 shares held by certain stockholders of the Company named in the registration statement (“Selling Stockholders”), previously purchased by the Selling Stockholders in a Private Placement at $1.00 per share, |
(c) | the resale of 1,500,000 common stock purchase warrants held by one stockholder of the Company named in the registration statement (“Selling Warrant Holder”), previously acquired in conjunction with an agreement with the Company, |
(d) | 3,500,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants held by the selling warrant holder, with 1,500,000 exercisable at $1.01 per share and 2,000,000 exercisable at $1.50. |
(e) | 4,161,371 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of any securities that provide for conversion or exchange into other securities. |
The registration statement, while effective, allows the Selling Warrant older named in the registration statement to publicly sell the Warrants. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Warrants by the selling warrant holder.
Upon the cash exercise of the warrants, the Company will receive the exercise price of the warrants. There can be no assurance any warrants will be exercised.
There are no underwriting commissions involved in this offering. We have agreed to pay all the costs and expenses of this offering. Selling shareholders will pay no offering expenses. As of the date of this prospectus, there is a limited trading market in our common stock. Our common stock is currently listed on OTCQB. There is no guarantee that our securities will ever trade on the NASDAQ or other exchange.
This offering is highly speculative and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. Additionally, auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page ___, infra .

RISK FACTORS
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
However, investing in our securities involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks factors set forth in the documents and reports filed by us with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as any risks described or incorporated by reference in any applicable prospectus supplement before deciding whether to buy our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected, and you could lose all or part of your investment in offered securities.
You should carefully consider the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, in any prospectus supplement related hereto, and in other information contained in our publicly available SEC filings and press releases. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus prepared by us or on our behalf. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. The information in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front of this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the date of this prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer or solicitation relating to the securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation relating to the securities is not authorized. You should not consider this prospectus to be an offer or solicitation relating to the securities if the person making the offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so, or if it is unlawful for you to receive such an offer or solicitation.

This summary highlights certain information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information you should consider prior to investing. After you read this summary, you should read and consider carefully the more detailed information and financial statements and related notes that we include in this prospectus, especially the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” If you invest in our securities, you are assuming a high degree of risk.

Going Concern
The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the expansion of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary, to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights. Please see NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN for further information.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
Company
We market and sell consumer products containing full Spectrum phytocannabinoid rich hemp oil with naturally occurring CBD under our Vitalibis™ brand in a range of market sectors including wellness, and beauty care. We currently distribute 3 products and we expect to continue to add new products to our Vitalibis™ portfolio to enhance our line of full spectrum phyto-cannabinoid rich hemp products with naturally occurring cannabidiol (CBD) and hemp-related consumer products. We also expect to develop and launch new brands under the Vitalibis™ product development umbrella to more effectively market and sell certain products. We also sell full spectrum phyto-cannabinoid rich hemp powder with naturally occurring cannabidiol (CBD) acquired through our supply relationships in the United States to various customers that produce products for resale into the market.

We seek to take advantage of an emerging worldwide trend to re-energize the production of industrial hemp and to foster its many uses for consumers. Historically cultivated for industrial and practical purposes, hemp is used today for textiles, paper, auto parts, biofuel, cosmetics, animal feed, nutritional supplements, and much more. The market for hemp-derived products is expected to increase substantially over the next five years, and we believe Vitalibis™ is well positioned to be a significant player in the hemp industry.
Hemp-derived CBD is one of at least 80 cannabinoids found in hemp, and is non-psychoactive. Our U.S. based supplier oversees our raw material supply chain and raw material processing. Our internal team manages product development and manufacturing, and sales and marketing. We will continue to scale-up our processing capability to accommodate new products in our pipeline.
Government Regulation
We are not yet aware of any direct government regulations relating to the marketing of CBD-related products containing less than 0.03 parts THC, which are the only products we currently sell and intend to sell.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies.
Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues are $1 billion, as adjusted, or more, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Description of Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding:
· | the growth of our business and revenues and our expectations about the factors that influence our success; |
· | our plans to continue to invest in systems, facilities, and infrastructure, increase our hiring and grow our business; |
· | our plans for the build out and expansion of our online store and portal, GCC Superstore, and the strategy and timing of any plans to monetize our network; |
· | our user growth expectations; |
· | our ability to attain funding and the sufficiency of our sources of funding; |
· | our expectation that our cost of revenues, development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses will increase; |
· | fluctuations in our capital expenditures; and |
· | our plans for potential business partners and any acquisition plans; |
as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, including the risks described under “Risk Factors.” Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur in the future.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we may have projected. Any forward-looking statements you read in this prospectus reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, financial condition, growth strategy and liquidity. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this prospectus that could cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision. In addition, as discussed in “Risk Factors,” our shares may be considered a “penny stock” and, as a result, the safe harbors provided for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws may not be available to us.

We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the securities offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. Federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our securities.
This prospectus relates to the sale of 5 million shares of our common stock by the company. The proceeds of our offering will be used for general working capital, including marketing, product development and corporate compliance expenses.
This prospectus also relates to shares of our common stock and warrants that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders/warrant holders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock or warrants in this offering.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The pricing of the Shares has been arbitrarily determined and established by the Company. No independent accountant or appraiser has been retained to protect the interest of the investors. No assurance can be made that the offering price is in fact reflective of the underlying value of the Shares. Each prospective investor is urged to consult with his or her counsel and/or accountant as to offering price and the terms and conditions of the Shares. Factors to be considered in determining the price include the amount of capital expected to be required, the market for securities of entities in a new business venture, projected rates of return expected by prospective investors of speculative investments, the Company’s prospects for success and prices of similar entities.
The Company does not have adequate revenue to fund all of its operational needs and may require additional financing to continue its operations if it is unable to generate substantial revenue growth. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. Failure to generate substantial revenue growth could result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Company’s deployment of its products, and may result in the Company looking to obtain such additional financing, resulting in possible dilution. Any such financing will dilute the ownership interest of the Company’s shareholders at the time of the financing, and may dilute the value of their shareholdings.
7 |
The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal |
· | facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately-negotiated transactions; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | through the writing of options on the shares; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
8 |
The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. The selling stockholders have not entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the event that any of the selling stockholders are deemed an affiliated purchaser or distribution participant within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If a selling stockholder notifies us that it has a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.
Common Stock
Our authorized capital consists of 112,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 29,638,900 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred stock issued and outstanding. As of May 10, 2019, the Company had 30,781,400 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the Company’s common stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation.
Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock.
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.

Organization
Vitalibis, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on April 11, 2014 as a Nevada corporation, under the name of Crowd 4 Seeds, Inc. On January 9, 2017, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to change its name to "Sheng Ying Entertainment Corp."

Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies.
Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.
We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues are $1 billion, as adjusted, or more, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

Cole Memo
On August 29, 2013, United States Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued the Cole Memo to United States Attorneys guiding them to prioritize enforcement of Federal law away from the cannabis industry operating as permitted under certain state laws, so long as:
· | cannabis is not being distributed to minors and dispensaries are not located around schools and public buildings; |
· | the proceeds from sales are not going to gangs, cartels or criminal enterprises; |
· | cannabis grown in states where it is legal is not being diverted to other states; |
· | cannabis-related businesses are not being used as a cover for sales of other illegal drugs or illegal activity; |
· | there is not any violence or use of fire-arms in the cultivation and sale of marijuana; |
· | there is strict enforcement of drugged-driving laws and adequate prevention of adverse health consequences; and |
· | cannabis is not grown, used, or possessed on Federal properties. |
Trademarks
The success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing trade name in order to increase our brand awareness. In that regard, we believe that our trade name is valuable asset that is critical to our success. As of the date of this prospectus, we have submitted a trademark application for “Vitalibis”. There is no guarantee that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will grant us a trademark. The unauthorized use or other misappropriation of our trade name could diminish the value of our business concept and may cause a decline in our revenue.
Competitors, Methods of Completion, Competitive Business Conditions
We believe that we face significant direct competition in the retail sector for CBD products. There are several direct competitors and some sell directly to consumers. The Company believes the density of CBD consumers and the wide product selection we seek to offer are what we believe will make our products attractive to CBD consumers and may help to serve as a competitive advantage.

Furthermore, Management of the Company does not believe that there are any proceedings to which any director, officer, or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of the common stock of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Please read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto, as well as the “Risk Factors” and “Description of Business” sections included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors”.
Overview
We market and sell consumer products containing full Spectrum phytocannabinoid rich hemp oil with naturally occurring CBD under our Vitalibis™ brand in a range of market sectors including wellness, and beauty care. We currently distribute 3 products and we expect to continue to add new products to our Vitalibis™ portfolio to enhance our line of full spectrum phyto-cannabinoid rich hemp products with naturally occurring cannabidiol (CBD) and hemp-related consumer products. We also expect to develop and launch new brands under the Vitalibis™ product development umbrella to more effectively market and sell certain products. We also sell full spectrum phyto-cannabinoid rich hemp powder with naturally occurring cannabidiol (CBD) acquired through our supply relationships in the United States to various customers that produce products for resale into the market. We also began offering of our technology back-end which is being offered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform.
We seek to take advantage of an emerging worldwide trend to re-energize the production of industrial hemp and to foster its many uses for consumers. Historically cultivated for industrial and practical purposes, hemp is used today for textiles, paper, auto parts, biofuel, cosmetics, animal feed, nutritional supplements, and much more. The market for hemp-derived products is expected to increase substantially over the next five years, and we believe Vitalibis™ is well positioned to be a significant player in the hemp industry.
Hemp-derived CBD is one of at least 80 cannabinoids found in hemp, and is non-psychoactive. Our U.S. based supplier oversees our raw material supply chain and raw material processing. Our internal team manages product development and manufacturing, and sales and marketing. We will continue to scale-up our processing capability to accommodate new products in our pipeline.
We expect to realize revenue to fund our working capital needs through the sale of finished products and raw materials to third parties. However, in order to fund our product development efforts, we will need to raise additional capital either through the issuance of equity and/or the issuance of debt. In the event we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital to fund our product development efforts, we may need to curtail or delay such activity.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis management evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates.
A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and requires management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, and often requires management to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management believes the following accounting policies fit this definition:
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which was adopted on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with no impact to the Company’s comparative financial statements. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:
· | Identification of the contract with a customer |
· | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
· | Determination of the transaction price |
· | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
· | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
Product sales are recognized all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) a contract with an end user exists which has commercial substance; (ii) it is probable the Company will collect the amount charged to the end user; and (iii) the Company has completed its performance obligation whereby the end user has obtained control of the product. A contract with commercial substance exists once the Company receives and accepts a purchase order or once it enters into a contract with an end user. If collectibility is not probable, the sale is deferred and not recognized until collection is probable or payment is received. Control of products typically transfers when title and risk of ownership of the product has transferred to the customer. Payment is received before shipment of the product. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in net sales. Various taxes on the sale of products and enrollment packages to customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to the respective taxing authority. These taxes are presented on a net basis and recorded as a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority. The Company allows for customers to return unopened products within 45 days. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were a trivial amount of refunds processed for returned product.
Inventory – Inventory is manufactured at third party facilities. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews its inventory for obsolescence and any inventory identified as obsolete is reserved or written off. The Company’s determination of obsolescence is based on assumptions about the demand for its products, product expiration dates, estimated future sales, and management’s future plans.

Website Development Cost – The Company capitalizes certain development costs associated with internal use software incurred during the application development stage. The Company expenses costs associated with preliminary project phase activities, training, maintenance and any post-implementation period costs as incurred. Capitalization of qualifying application development cost begins when management authorized and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed for the function intended. Capitalized internal use software costs are normally amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 5 years once the related project has been completed and deployed for customer use. At time the software is considered to have be an indefinite lived asset in which case it is evaluated for impairment at least annually. For the year ending December 31, 2018, the Company capitalized $176,177 related to software under the criteria discussed in this paragraph. These costs are related to the development of our website and customer portal. The Company amortizes capitalized costs over an estimated useful life of three years.
Stock-Based Compensation – The Company measures the total amount of employee stock-based compensation expense for a grant based on the grant date fair value of each award and recognizes the stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of an award. Stock-based compensation is based on unvested outstanding awards. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures when realized.

Operating Activities
The cash used in operating activities of $285,848 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative costs as the Company increased its operations during the current period. These outflows were partially offset by the cash inflows from sales activity during the current period.
The cash used in operating activities of $543,204 for the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative costs as the Company increased its operations during the year.
Investing Activities
The cash used in investing activities of $176,177 during the year ended December 31, 2018 was due to costs incurred to build our website.
Financing Activities
The cash provided by financing activities of $174,548 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, was primarily from two convertible debt issuances, which provided proceeds of $188,000, offset by payments of debt issuance costs of $6,000 and payments on unsecured notes payable of $7,452.
The cash provided by financing activities of $891,360 during the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily from sales of common stock for cash of $912,400.
Financing Needs
In order to fund our operations, including the further build-out of business and marketing plans, we rely upon direct investments, partnerships and joint ventures with accredited investors. Once the Company becomes profitable, we intend to fund our operations from free cash flow.
At present, the Company only has sufficient funds to conduct its operations for three to six months. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
18 |
If we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from Company operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
The Company presently does not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to its brief history and historical operating losses, the Company’s operations have not been a source of liquidity. The Company will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
The Company will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. In the event there is a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets, this could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders.

Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement with respect to the proceeds from the sale of the particular securities to which such prospectus supplement relates, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities for general corporate purposes, including repayment or redemption of outstanding debt or preferred stock (if any), the possible acquisition of related businesses or assets thereof, and working capital needs. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders.

The following description of our capital stock is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended, which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
General
We are authorized to issue 112,500,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our articles of incorporation also authorize us to issue options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to our common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our board of directors in its sole discretion, whether in connection with acquisitions or otherwise. As of December 31, 2018, 29,638,900 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. As of May 10, 2019, 30,781,400 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
20 |
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to stockholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock can elect all directors.
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available and, in the event of liquidation, to a pro rata portion of any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our directors are not obligated to declare dividends, and it is anticipated that no dividend will be paid in the foreseeable future.
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares which may be issued in the future. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Pursuant to an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, effected under NRS 78.207 and .209, the Company effected a 2.5 for 1 forward stock split of our number of authorized shares of the Common Stock and a corresponding increase in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder of record as of February 8, 2018, the “Effective Date” of the forward split, as set by FINRA .
All shares referenced in this Prospectus have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split.
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock (and/or preferred stock) may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our board by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
The description of certain matters relating to the securities of the Company is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.
Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors, without further stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares of such series, and the preferences, rights and restrictions thereof. All shares of any one series of preferred stock shall be alike in every particular except as otherwise provided by our articles of incorporation or the Nevada Business Corporations Act. We may amend from time to time our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock in accordance with the Nevada Business Corporations Act.
21 |
The particular terms of any series of preferred stock that we offer under this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to that series of preferred stock. Those terms may include:
· | the title and liquidation preference per share of the preferred stock and the number of shares offered; |
· | the purchase price of the preferred stock; |
· | the dividend rate (or method of calculation), the dates on which dividends will be payable, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, the date from which dividends will begin to accumulate; |
· | any redemption or sinking fund provisions of the preferred stock; |
· | any conversion, redemption or exchange provisions of the preferred stock; |
· | the voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock; and |
· | any additional dividend, liquidation, redemption, sinking fund and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions of the preferred stock. |
If the terms of any series of preferred stock being offered differ from the terms set forth in this prospectus, those terms will also be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to that series of preferred stock. The summary in this prospectus is not complete. You should refer to the certificate of designations establishing a particular series of preferred stock which will be filed with the Colorado Secretary and the SEC in connection with the offering of the preferred stock.
Each prospectus supplement may describe certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the purchase, holding and disposition of the preferred stock that prospectus supplement covers.
Options and Warrants

Please see NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT for further information.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company. Such provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In particular, our articles of incorporation and bylaws, among other things, provide the board of directors with the ability to alter the bylaws without stockholder approval; provide that vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum; and, as discussed above, authorize our board of directors, without further stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock , and to fix the number of shares of such series, and the preferences, rights and restrictions thereof. The existence of authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Quotation on OTCQB
Our common stock is quoted by the OTC Markets Group’s OTCQB under the symbol “VCBD”.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere,NY 11598. Tel: 212-828-8436.

We may issue warrants, in one or more series, for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. Warrants may be issued independently or together with our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement. In addition to this summary, you should refer to the relevant prospectus supplement and the detailed provisions of the relevant warrant agreement for complete terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement. Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, each warrant agreement will be between us and a banking institution organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof as warrant agent. In connection with an offering of our warrants, a form of warrant agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement by post-effective amendment or to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Warrants will be evidenced by warrant certificates. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrant certificates may be traded separately from the debt securities, preferred stock or common stock, if any, with which the warrant certificates were issued. Warrant certificates may be exchanged for new warrant certificates of different denominations at the office of an agent that we will appoint. Until a warrant is exercised, the holder of a warrant will not have any of the rights of a holder of our debt securities, preferred stock or common stock and will not be entitled to any payments on any debt securities, preferred stock or common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants to issue debt securities, preferred stock or common stock will describe the terms of those warrants, including the following, where applicable:
· | the title and the aggregate number of warrants; |
· | the offering price for the warrants (if any); |
· | the designation and terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants; |
· | the dates on which the right to exercise such warrants commence and expire; |
· | the price or prices at which such warrants are exercisable; |
· | the currency or currencies in which the offering price (if any) and the exercise price for such warrants are payable; |
· | the periods during which and the places at which such warrants are exercisable; |
· | the date (if any) on and after which such warrants and the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants will be separately transferable; |
· | the redemption or call provisions (if any) applicable to the warrants; |
· | the identity of the warrant agent; |
· | the exchanges (if any) on which such warrants may be listed; |

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In March 2018, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $200,000 to acquire a license from VOTOCAST, INC. as discussed in Note 8 to our financial statements. It was determined to be a transaction with an entity under common control and the share issuance was determined to be a deemed distribution to the related party for the value of the shares in excess of the historical carry over basis of the asset.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, $200 of cash was contributed to the Company by the Chief Financial Officer to open the Company’s bank account.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, $2,754 of services were paid for and contributed to the Company by the current officers.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred operating expenses in the amount of $102,865, $92,851 of which was directly paid by Mr. Kok Chee LEE, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the time. On October 25, 2017 Mr. Kok Chee Lee forgave amounts owed to him which were recorded as a contribution to capital. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company owed $0 to Mr. Kok Chee LEE, respectively.
Corporate Governance and Director Independence.
The Company has not:
· | Established its own definition for determining whether its directors and nominees for directors are "independent". We currently use NASDAQ's general definition for determining director independence, which states that "independent director" means a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, that, in the opinion of the company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the director. |
Nor:
· | Established any committee of the board of directors. |
Given the nature of the Company's business, its limited stockholder base and the current composition of management, the board of directors does not believe that the Company requires any corporate governance committees at this time.
As of the date hereof, the entire board serves as the Company's audit committee.
We have not entered into any transactions in which any of our directors, executive officers, or affiliates, including any member of an immediate family, had or are to have a direct or indirect material interest.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
OTC Bulletin Board Considerations
As discussed elsewhere in this registration statement, the Company’s common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB, under the symbol “VCBD”.
Holders
As of December 31, 2018, the approximate number of stockholders of record of the Common Stock of the Company was 1,083.
Dividend Policy
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides to the fullest extent permitted by Florida Law that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Our By-Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize us to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

VITALIBIS, INC.
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN
Vitalibis, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on April 11, 2014 as a Nevada corporation, under the name of Crowd 4 Seeds, Inc. We plan to focus on the development, sale and distribution of hemp oil-based products that contain naturally occurring cannabinoids, including cannabidiol ("CBD") and other products containing CBD-rich hemp oil (“Legal Hemp”). We leverage our proprietary technology platform to maximize our innovative micro-influencer sales model, which fosters engaged customer connections.
On January 18, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an agreement and plan of merger to merge with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vitalibis, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our name changed from Sheng Ying Entertainment Corp. to Vitalibis, Inc. Vitalibis, Inc. was formed solely to effect the change of name and conducted no operations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. Due to these conditions, it raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans, loans from directors and, or, the sale of common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent year ended December 31, 2018 have been omitted.
Inventories
Inventory is manufactured at third party facilities. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews its inventory for obsolescence and any inventory identified as obsolete is reserved or written off. The Company’s determination of obsolescence is based on assumptions about the demand for its products, product expiration dates, estimated future sales, and management’s future plans.
F- 6 |
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, inventory consists of the following components:
March 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||
Raw materials and supplies | $ | 9,108 | $ | 1,836 | ||||
Finished products | 145,009 | 186,881 | ||||||
Total inventory | $ | 154,117 | $ | 188,717 |
The Company recognized a prepaid expense of $21,917 and $30,431 related to purchases of inventory that had not yet transferred into the control of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which was adopted on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with no impact to the Company’s comparative financial statements. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:
• | Identification of the contract with a customer |
• | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
• | Determination of the transaction price |
• | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
• | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
All of the Company’s revenue is currently generated from the sales of similar products. As such no further disaggregation of revenue information is provided.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, approximately $105,159, or 75%, of the Company’s sales were to a single customer.
Performance Obligations
Product sales are recognized all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) a contract with an end user exists which has commercial substance; (ii) it is probable the Company will collect the amount charged to the end user; and (iii) the Company has completed its performance obligation whereby the end user has obtained control of the product. A contract with commercial substance exists once the Company receives and accepts a purchase order or once it enters into a contract with an end user. If collectibility is not probable, the sale is deferred and not recognized until collection is probable or payment is received. Control of products typically transfers when title and risk of ownership of the product has transferred to the customer. Payment is received before shipment of the product. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in net sales. Various taxes on the sale of products and enrollment packages to customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to the respective taxing authority. These taxes are presented on a net basis and recorded as a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority. The Company allows for customers to return unopened products within 45 days. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were a trivial amount of refunds processed for returned product.
Contract Costs
Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are not material to the Company. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to not capitalize contract costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within cost of goods and services.
F- 7 |
Contract Liabilities
The Company may at times receive payment by credit card at the time customer places an order. Amounts received for undelivered
product are considered a contract liability and are recorded as deferred revenue. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the
Company had deferred revenue of $0 and $105,159, respectively, related to unsatisfied performance obligations.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes all of the costs to purchase and assemble the Company’s products. Products are manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such costs represent the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Additionally, shipping costs are included in Cost of Sales in the Statements of Operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotional costs and research and development costs. Also included in Selling, general and administrative expenses are stock-based compensation, certain warehousing fees, non-manufacturing overhead, personnel and related expenses, rent on operating leases, and professional fees.
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $3,848 and $8,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. There were no research and development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Website Development Cost
The Company capitalizes certain development costs associated with internal use software incurred during the application development stage. The Company expenses costs associated with preliminary project phase activities, training, maintenance and any post-implementation period costs as incurred. Capitalization of qualifying application development cost begins when management authorized and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed for the function intended. Capitalized internal use software costs are normally amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 5 years once the related project has been completed and deployed for customer use. At time the software is considered to have be an indefinite lived asset in which case it is evaluated for impairment at least annually. During the year ending December 31, 2018, the Company capitalized $176,177 related to software under the criteria discussed in this paragraph. These costs are related to the development of our website and customer portal. The Company amortizes capitalized costs over an estimated useful life of three years. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $14,681. There were no such costs related to the software during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, and adopted the package of practical expedients that allows it to (i) not reassess whether an arrangement contains a lease, (ii) carry forward its lease classification as operating or capital leases and (iii) not reassess its previously recorded initial direct costs.. The Company made an accounting policy election to treat leases with a minimum term of 12 months or less as short-term leases. The adoption of ASC 842 had no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, due to the Company’s current rental agreements for office space having minimum terms of less than 12 months. The Company currently has no right of use assets or liabilities recognized on its balance sheet related to lease agreements.
F- 8 |
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 7 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of common shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share excludes any impact from the 3,500,000 warrants outstanding (including 834,000 that are exercisable as of March 31, 2019) as their impact would be antidilutive.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Vitalibis, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vitalibis, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.

VITALIBIS, INC.
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN:
Vitalibis (the “Company”) was formed on April 11, 2014 as a Nevada corporation, under the name of Crowd 4 Seeds, Inc. We plan to focus on the development, sale and distribution of hemp oil-based products that contain naturally occurring cannabinoids, including cannabidiol ("CBD") and other products containing CBD-rich hemp oil (“Legal Hemp”). We leverage our proprietary technology platform to maximize our innovative micro-influencer sales model, which fosters engaged customer connections.
During 2014 the Company issued 9,054,000 shares of its common stock, for a total consideration of $20,000. On December 30, 2016, Tycoon Luck Global Limited acquired 65.72% of the equity interest of the Company from Itzhak Ostashinsky, the major shareholder and sole officer, at a consideration of $220,152 in cash and both parties agreed all the net liabilities of the Company as of the acquisition date are assumed by Itzhak Ostashinsky. On the same day, the new management team was appointed.
On January 9, 2017, the Company filed with Secretary of State of Nevada to change its name to Sheng Ying Entertainment Corp. On April 24, 2017, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved the name change. The Company’s common stock symbol was also changed from CWWD to SALL, effective April 25, 2017.
On October 24, 2017, Kok Chee LEE resigned from his positions as CEO and director of the Company, and the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Thomas Raack as a director of the Company. On October 25, 2017, Siew Heok Ong resigned from his positions as director and CFO of the Company, and Sreyneang Jin resigned from her positions as director and COO of the Company. On October 26, 2017, Thomas Raack, the sole remaining director of the Company, appointed himself as the CEO, president and treasurer of the Company, and also terminated David E. Price as secretary and appointed himself as secretary of the Company.
On January 18, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an agreement and plan of merger to merge with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vitalibis, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our name changed from Sheng Ying Entertainment Corp. to Vitalibis, Inc. Vitalibis, Inc. was formed solely to effect the change of name and conducted no operations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. Due to these conditions, it raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans, loans from directors and, or, the sale of common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of Presentation :
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F- 18 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The recorded value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.
Inventories
Inventory is manufactured at third party facilities. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews its inventory for obsolescence and any inventory identified as obsolete is reserved or written off. The Company’s determination of obsolescence is based on assumptions about the demand for its products, product expiration dates, estimated future sales, and management’s future plans.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, inventory consists of the following components:
December 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Raw materials and supplies | $ | 1,836 | $ | – | ||||
Finished products | 186,881 | – | ||||||
Total inventory | $ | 188,717 | $ | – |
The Company recognized a prepaid expense of $30,431 related to purchases of inventory that had not yet transferred into the control of the Company as of December 31, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which was adopted on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with no impact to the Company’s comparative financial statements. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:
• | Identification of the contract with a customer |
• | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
• | Determination of the transaction price |
• | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
• | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
All of the Company’s revenue is currently generated from the sales of similar products. As such no further disaggregation of revenue information is provided.
Performance Obligations
Product sales are recognized all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) a contract with an end user exists which has commercial substance; (ii) it is probable the Company will collect the amount charged to the end user; and (iii) the Company has completed its performance obligation whereby the end user has obtained control of the product. A contract with commercial substance exists once the Company receives and accepts a purchase order or once it enters into a contract with an end user. If collectibility is not probable, the sale is deferred and not recognized until collection is probable or payment is received. Control of products typically transfers when title and risk of ownership of the product has transferred to the customer. Payment is received before shipment of the product. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in net sales. Various taxes on the sale of products and enrollment packages to customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to the respective taxing authority. These taxes are presented on a net basis and recorded as a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority. The Company allows for customers to return unopened products within 45 days. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were a trivial amount of refunds processed for returned product.
F- 19 |
Contract Costs
Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are not material to the Company. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to not capitalize contract costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within cost of goods and services.
Contract Liabilities
The Company may at times receive payment by credit card at the time customer places an order. Amounts received for undelivered
product are considered a contract liability and are recorded as deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company
had deferred revenue of $105,159 and $0, respectively, related to unsatisfied performance obligations. These performance obligations
were satisfied during the first quarter of 2019.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes all of the costs to purchase and assemble the Company’s products. Products are manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such costs represent the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Additionally, shipping costs are included in Cost of Sales in the Statements of Operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotional costs and research and development costs. Also included in Selling, general and administrative expenses are stock-based compensation, certain warehousing fees, non-manufacturing overhead, personnel and related expenses, rent on operating leases, and professional fees.
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $66,563 and $0 in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $1,698 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Website Development Cost
The Company capitalizes certain development costs associated with internal use software incurred during the application development stage. The Company expenses costs associated with preliminary project phase activities, training, maintenance and any post-implementation period costs as incurred. Capitalization of qualifying application development cost begins when management authorized and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed for the function intended. Capitalized internal use software costs are normally amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 5 years once the related project has been completed and deployed for customer use. At time the software is considered to have be an indefinite lived asset in which case it is evaluated for impairment at least annually. For the year ending December 31, 2018, the Company capitalized $176,177 related to software under the criteria discussed in this paragraph. These costs are related to the development of our website and customer portal. The Company amortizes capitalized costs over an estimated useful life of three years. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $27,074. There were no such costs related to the software during the year ended December 31, 2017.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the "asset and liability" method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, when it's more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current based on the underlying asset or liability or if not directly related to and asset or liability based on the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences.
F- 20 |
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company discloses fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company measures the total amount of employee stock-based compensation expense for a grant based on the grant date fair value of each award and recognizes the stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of an award. Stock-based compensation is based on unvested outstanding awards. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures when realized.
In the second quarter of 2018 the Company elected to adopt ASU 2018-07 which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 requires an entity to use a modified retrospective transition approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year. Upon adoption the Company recorded an adjustment to the first quarter of 2018 of $188,165.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, with no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, due to its current rental agreements having a month to month term and therefore are treated as short-term leases under ASC 842.
F- 21 |
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This ASU applies to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues and includes clarification on how these items should be classified in the statement of cash flows and is designed to help eliminate diversity in practice as to where items are classified in the cash flow statement. Furthermore, in November 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance on this Topic that requires amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted for all entities. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 – UNSECURED NOTE PAYABLE
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into two insurance financing arrangements. The first agreement was for a value of $6,676, bearing an interest rate of 12.6%. The Company made a down payment of $1,988 and makes monthly payments of $549 through March 2019. The second agreement was for a value of $25,954, bearing an interest rate of 7.75%. The Company made a down payment of $6,676 and makes monthly payments of $1,997 through May 2019. These agreements resulted in prepaid expenses being recognized totaling $32,629.
NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Our principal office is part of a group of executive suites. We pay $130 per month for our offices, on a month-to-month basis. In July 2018, the Company also began renting a shared office space for $175 per month on a month to month basis.
In April 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party for a subscription to its e-commerce platform. The Company paid $3,000 for implementation and pays $2,000 per month, with an initial term of one year. After the initial term, the monthly fee may increase depending on the Company’s level of sales through the platform.
NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Common Stock
The Company effected a 2.5 for 1 forward stock split of our number of authorized shares of the Common Stock and a corresponding increase in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder of record as of February 8, 2018, the “Effective Date” of the forward split, as set by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ( “FINRA” ). All shares referenced have been respectively adjusted to reflect this stock split.
On the Effective Date, our total authorized shares of Common Stock increased from 45,000,000 to 112,500,000 shares, and our total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock increased from 10,804,000 to 27,010,000 shares; the par value of $0.001 will remain the same. Any fractional shares resulting from the split will be rounded up to the next whole number. The total authorized shares of our Preferred Shares will not be affected and will remain at 5,000,000.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, on December 18, 2017, we issued 22,500,000 shares of our restricted common stock as consideration for the purchase of assets, pursuant to the closing of an Asset Purchase Agreement. No cash was involved in the transaction. The asset transferred consisted of various intangible assets such as plans and know-how related to the proposed CBD-related products the Company plans to develop. Due to the change of control and related party nature of the transaction a carry-over basis was applied. There is no historical book value for the asset purchased so the Company assigned a value of $0 to the assets.
F- 22 |
The 22,500,000 shares were the sole consideration paid by the Company for the purchase of assets from the three (3) individual owners, on the basis of 7,500,000 shares each. Prior to issuance, Mr. Larry McNabb assigned all his rights, titles and interest in and to his 7,500,000 shares to B.L.U.E. Stone Ltd. The remaining 15,000,000 shares were issued equally to Steve Raack and Thomas Raack who serve as officers and directors of the Company. At this point, the 22,500,000 shares represented control of 83.3% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company and constituted control of the C ompany.
Related to the issuance above, on December 18, 2017, the following four (4) separate shareholders of the Company, in furtherance of a change-of-control transaction, discussed above, voluntarily surrendered to the transfer agent a total of 18,125,000 restricted shares for cancellation:
Shareholder | Number of Shares |
Tycoon – Luck Global Ltd. | 14,875,000 shares |
LWH Biomass Sdn Bhd | 1,000,000 shares |
Yuping Wang | 1,125,000 shares |
Yujie Wang | 1,125,000 shares |
In March 2018, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $200,000 to acquire a license from VOTOCAST, INC. as discussed in Note 8. It was determined to be a transaction with an entity under common control and the share issuance was determined to be a deemed distribution to the related party for the value of the shares in excess of the historical carry over basis of the asset.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold 912,400 shares of its restricted common stock at a price of $1.00 per share, for total net proceeds of $912,400.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 1,366,500 shares of common stock to consultants, and recorded $1,463,207 of compensation cost. In addition, the Company committed to issue an additional 532,500 of shares that will vest at various dates through June 2019. Certain of these shares vest upon completion of certain milestones, including sales targets. For those shares that are based on performance targets, no expense was recognized as of December 31, 2018, as the targets being met is not considered probable. Unrecognized compensation cost related to the share issuances (assuming all shares will vest) was $644,199 as of December 31, 2018.
On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a business alliance agreement with Bruce Lee Beverage, LLC. (“BLB”). Under the terms of the agreement, the parties will develop a new product utilizing the intellectual property of BLB, with an initial term of five years and automatic five-year renewals thereafter unless terminated by either party with 120 days’ prior written notice.

NOTE 6 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of common shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per common share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are determined by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws and rates for the jurisdictions in which the Company operates to the estimated future tax effects of the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the Company's financial statements. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:

Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carry forwards and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that carryforward limitations will be applied to the historical net operating losses due to the recent change of control transition. The Company's cumulative net operating loss carry forward of approximately $524,000 will begin to expire in the year 2038.
F- 24 |
The Company has recorded no liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption and has not recorded any liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits during 2018 and 2017. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalty in regard to any unrecognized benefit.
The main reconciling items between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate are the non-recognition of the benefits from accumulated net operating losses carryforward due to the uncertainty of the realization of such tax benefits.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Act, we revalued our ending net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017, which were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company has a provision in its Articles of Incorporation, at Article XI thereof, providing for indemnification of its officers and directors, as follows:
Our Articles of Incorporation at Article X provide for indemnification as follows: "No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer: (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any repeal or modification of an Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation of the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification."
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Act.. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II- 1 |
Any agreement that may be entered into in connection with an offering of the securities will contain provisions which indemnify the officers and directors of VCBD in certain circumstances. At this time there are no such agreements, nor are any contemplated.
The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which covers certain liabilities, including liabilities to the Company and its stockholders.

Each of the below transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance upon Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
Since the Company’s inception on March 14, 2014 through December 31, 2018, the Company issued and/or sold the following unregistered securities:

All recipients of the foregoing transactions either received adequate information about the Registrant or had access, through their relationships with the Registrant, to such information.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

II- 3 |
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

II- 4 |
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (the “Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent re-offering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.
(e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

VITALIBIS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
This Warrant is issued to Bruce Lee Beverage LLC ("Holder") by VITALIBIS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with consideration received from Holder, pursuant to the terms of an Alliance Agreement between the parties, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby expressly acknowledged by the Company.
1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Alliance Agreement, up to 1,500,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock (each a "Share" and collectively the "Shares") at an exercise price of $ 1.01 per Share (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the "Exercise Price").
2. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the issuance date of this Warrant and ending at 5 p.m. Nevada time on 2 years from issuance and vesting (the "Exercise Period").
3. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise from time to time, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.
4. Certificates for Shares; Amendments of Warrants. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice. Upon partial exercise, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Warrant representing the remaining number of Shares purchasable thereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Warrant shall be identical to those contained herein.
5. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that (i) the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, (ii) during the Exercise Period the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock sufficient Shares in order to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time before the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
18 |
(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock (including because of a change of control) of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time before the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the Holder of this Warrant immediately before such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
(c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.
7. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
8. Representations of the Company. The Company represents that all required corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the sale and issuance of this Warrant have been taken.
9. Representations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
(b) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that the Warrant Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968 (the "California Law") by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section 25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent expressed above.
(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.
(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
(e) The Holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Act.

Vitalibis, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion, as counsel, with respect to certain matters in connection with the filing by Vitalibis, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended (the “1933 Act”) including a related prospectus filed with the Registration Statement (the “prospectus”) covering the resale by selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) of 21,482,771 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants (the “Shares”) to be sold by the Selling Stockholders.
I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to authentic original documents of the copies of all such documents submitted to me as certified, conformed and photocopied, including the quoted, extracted, excerpted, and reprocessed text of such documents. I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Registration Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form S-1 and I express no opinion with respect thereto.
My opinion is limited to matters of the Nevada Business Corporations Code and I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any jurisdiction therein other than the State of Nevada, as specified herein.
On the basis of the foregoing and in reliance thereon, I am of the opinion that the Shares subject to resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus are validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable Shares.
I consent to the use of my opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement and to the reference thereto under the heading “Interests of Named Experts and Counsel” in the prospectus contained in the registration statement.
In giving the foregoing consents, I do not thereby admit that my firm comes within the category of persons or entities whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
By: /s/ Michael J. Morrison, Esq.
Michael J. Morrison, Esq.

STOCK SUBSCRIPTION OFFER
VITALIBIS, INC.
TO: THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
1. Stock Subscription Offer ("Agreement"): Bruce Lee Beverage, LLC , (the "Undersigned"), whose address is 4221 Don Jose Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90008 , hereby offers to subscribe for Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) Shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Stock"), of VITALIBIS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), whose address is: 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 500, Las Vegas, NV 89169. The Undersigned agrees to accept such Stock as agreed-upon consideration under the terms of an Alliance Agreement entered into by and between the parties ("Consideration"). Ownership of the Stock will vest upon the Company's (a) acceptance of this Offer and Agreement and (b) receipt of the Consideration provided in Milestone 1 of the Alliance Agreement and (c) Installment schedule(s).
2. Representations and Warranties of the Undersigned: The Undersigned hereby represents and warrants that:
A. The Undersigned is financially responsible, able to meet his/her/its obligations hereunder and acknowledges this investment may be long term and is by its nature speculative; further, the Undersigned acknowledges he/she/it is financially capable of bearing the risk of this investment.
B. The Undersigned has had substantial prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, as well as experience in business or investments in one or more of the following:
(i) knowledge of and investment experience with securities, such as stocks and bonds;
(ii) ownership of interests in new ventures and/or start-up companies;
(iii) experience in business and financial dealings and parlance, and the Undersigned can protect his/her/its own interests in an investment of this nature and does not have a "Purchaser Representative," as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and does not need such a Representative.
C. The Undersigned is capable of bearing the high degree of economic risks and burdens of this investment, including, but not limited to, the possibility of complete loss of all his/her investment capital and the lack of a liquid public market, such that he/she/it may not be able to readily liquidate the investment whenever desired or at the then current asking price of the Stock.
11 |
D. The Undersigned has had access to the information set forth in Paragraph 4 hereof and was able to request, in writing, copies of such infoiiiiation from the Company regarding such written information he/she/it desired. The Undersigned understands that the Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities laws in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D, Rule 506 and/or Regulation S, and California B&P Code Sec. 25102(h), relating to transactions not involving a public offering. In this connection, the Undersigned understands that, if the Stock is sold in the United States or to United States residents, it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if his/her/its representation merely meant that his/her/its present intention was to hold the Stock for a short period, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, or for any other fixed period. The Undersigned realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with his/her/its representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a sale, transfer or other disposition as a deferred sale for which the exemption is not available.
E The Undersigned further understands that he/she/it is purchasing the Stock without being furnished any offering literature, prospectus or private offering memorandum, other than that supplied with or specifically identified in this Offer.
F. At no time was the Undersigned presented with or solicited by any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement, or any other form of general advertising otherwise than in connection and concurrently with this Offer.
G. The Stock which the Undersigned hereby subscribes is being acquired solely for his/her/its own account, for investment, and is not being purchased with a view to or for the resale or distribution thereof and the Undersigned has no present plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for such resale or distribution.
H. The Undersigned is aware of the following:
(i) The Company's financial and operating history;
(ii) The existence of substantial restrictions on the transferability of Stock;
(iii) Except as otherwise provided in the Alliance Agreement, the Stock will not be, and the Undersigned will have no rights to require, that the Company register the Stock under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; and
(iv) The Undersigned may not be able to avail himself/herself/itself of the provisions of Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities acts with respect to the release of the Stock, and, accordingly, it may not be possible for the Undersigned to liquidate part or all of his/her/its investment in the Company or to liquidate at the then current asking price of the Stock, if any.
12 |
I. It has at no time been represented, guaranteed, or warranted to the Undersigned by an officer or director of the Company, or the agents or employees thereof, or any other person, expressly or impliedly, any of the following:
(i) An exact or approximate length of time that the Undersigned will or will not remain as owner of the Stock;
(ii) A percentage of profit and/or amount or type of consideration, profit, loss, credits or deductions to be realized, if any, as a result of the Undersigned's ownership of the Stock; or
(iii) Past performance on the part of any director or officer of the Company, or the agents or employees thereof, that will in any way indicate the predictable results accruing from ownership of the Stock.
J. Except as otherwise provided in the Alliance Agreement, the Company is under no duty to register the Stock or comply with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or any state securities law, including supplying to the appropriate agency or to the Undersigned any information required in connection with transfers under appropriate rules and regulations.

VITALIBIS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
This Warrant is issued to Bruce Lee Beverage LLC ("Holder") by VITALIBIS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with consideration received from Holder, pursuant to the terms of an Alliance Agreement between the parties, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby expressly acknowledged by the Company.
1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Alliance Agreement, up to 1,500,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock (each a "Share" and collectively the "Shares") at an exercise price of $ 1.01 per Share (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the "Exercise Price").
2. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the issuance date of this Warrant and ending at 5 p.m. Nevada time on 2 years from issuance and vesting (the "Exercise Period").
3. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise from time to time, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a written notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.
4. Certificates for Shares; Amendments of Warrants. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice. Upon partial exercise, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Warrant representing the remaining number of Shares purchasable thereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Warrant shall be identical to those contained herein.
5. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that (i) the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, (ii) during the Exercise Period the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock sufficient Shares in order to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time before the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
18 |
(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock (including because of a change of control) of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time before the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the Holder of this Warrant immediately before such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
(c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.
7. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
8. Representations of the Company. The Company represents that all required corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the sale and issuance of this Warrant have been taken.
9. Representations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
(b) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that the Warrant Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968 (the "California Law") by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section 25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent expressed above.
(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.
(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
(e) The Holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Act.
19 |
10. Restrictive Legend.
The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following
form:
(i) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT.
(ii) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ISSUED UNDER THE LIMITED OFFERING EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY SEC. 25102(F) OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE."
11. Warrants Transferable. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, without charge to the Holder hereof (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed or accompanied by written instructions of transfer. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant before registration of such Warrant or Shares, the Holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such Holder's counsel, or other evidence, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion or other evidence, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11 that the opinion of counsel for the Holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares transferred in accordance with this Section 11 shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the Holder, such legend is not required. In order to ensure compliance with such laws, the Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
12. Rights of Stockholders. No Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
13. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective when given, and shall in any event be deemed to be given upon receipt or, if earlier, (a) five (5) days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or other applicable postal service, if delivered by first class mail, postage prepaid, (b) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (c) one business day after the business day of deposit with Federal Express or similar overnight courier, freight prepaid or (d) one business day after the business day of facsimile transmission, if delivered by facsimile transmission with copy by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be addressed (i) if to the Holder, at 4221 Don Jose Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90008_ and (ii) if to the Company, at the address of its principal corporate offices 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 500, Las Vegas, NV 89169 (attention: President), with a copy to Michael J.

14. Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nevada, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of Nevada or of any other state.
15. Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of Warrant. Unless otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations of the Company, of the Holder of this Warrant and of the holder of the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, shall survive the exercise of this Warrant.

Unless expressly agreed in a writing executed by Ambassador and Vitalibis, Ambassador does not consent to the use of his voice, likeness, image, name, signature, photograph or any other thing as determined by California law in which Ambassador has a Right of Publicity. However, Vitalibis may use Ambassador's name, photograph, and likeness as necessary to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, and in connection with Ambassador's role as stated herein. Any use by Vitalibis of Ambassador's name, voice, signature, photograph, likeness, or any other thing in which Ambassador has a Right of Publicity as determined by California law shall cease immediately upon termination of this Agreement.

4. Cooperation and Good Faith. The parties hereto hereby agree to cooperate with the other and to act in good faith and to fairly deal with each other in all respects. This covenant of cooperation and good faith extends to the conduct and efforts described in Addendum 1, "Description of Services and Compensation." Nothing herein, however, shall serve to require or otherwise mandate Ambassador to achieve any of the goals set forth in Milestones set forth in Addendum 1 by a date certain, or at all; although any efforts toward this end will be subject to the Parties' obligations to cooperate fairly and to act in good faith in all respects.
5. Compliance with the Law. Ambassador shall comply with any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and shall not engage in any act or omission that constitutes a violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.
6. Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the date Vitalibis signs and accepts my application and continues until terminated ("Term").
7. Termination. Ambassador expressly and unconditionally understands and acknowledges that he/she may terminate this Agreement for any reason, or for no reason, at any time by giving Vitalibis written or email ( CustomerCare@vitalibis.com ) notice. Ambassador also expressly and unconditionally understands and acknowledges that, in the event Ambassador breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, or any New Agreement, and does not cure such breach(es) within thirty (30) calendar days after Vitalibis gives written notice to Ambassador and to Ambassador's counsel, Huguenin Kahn, LLP of such breach(es), Vitalibis may terminate this Agreement, or any New Agreement. The date of termination will be the date Vitalibis gives Ambassador and Ambassador's counsel, Huguenin Kahn, LLP written notice of termination ("Termination Date"). If the Agreement is terminated for any reason, or for no reason, I expressly and unconditionally understand, acknowledge and agree that I will immediately and permanently lose (a) all rights, titles, interests, benefits and privileges available to an Ambassador, including, but not limited to, rights to commissions, bonuses and other compensation, other than those rights, titles, interests, benefits and privileges which have become earned and acquired and/or due and payable prior to or on the Date of Termination, and (b) any and all rights and claims relating, directly or indirectly, to my sales organization and rights under this Agreement. The Parties also agree that any portion of the Milestone Incentive Benefits, as defined in Addendum 1, accumulated upon termination of the Agreement, regardless of cause, shall be offered to Ambassador in direct proportion to the Milestone condition(s) satisfied (e.g., if in Milestone 4, Ambassador and his ambassador team secured gross sales in the amount of $800,000 as of the date of termination, Ambassador will be entitled to receive 80% of the Incentive Benefits from Milestone 4).
8. No Guarantee of Income. I fully understand and agree, subject to any earned commissions hereunder or other Incentive Benefits earned or accumulated pursuant to the terms and conditions of Addendum 1, that Vitalibis has not guaranteed, and does not guarantee, that I will earn or be otherwise entitled to receive any amount of income or be profitable in my efforts hereunder, and Vitalibis has never made any representations, directly or indirectly, to the contrary. I fully understand and agree that I shall not represent to others, either directly or indirectly, that an Ambassador is guaranteed an income or will derive profits from his/her efforts hereunder. I fully understand and specifically acknowledge and agree that my income hereunder, if any, is dependent solely and exclusively on my gross sales (commissions) and my efforts in securing the Milestone achievements as set forth in Addendum 1, both of which include my direct sales of products offered by Vitalibis to the end-user / customer ("Products").6
9. General Conduct. Ambassador shall diligently and in good faith safeguard and promote the good will and reputation of (a) Vitalibis, its directors, officers, agents, advisors, attorneys and employees, and (b) the Products. I also expressly and unconditionally agree to refrain from and avoid all deceptive, misleading, unethical or immoral conduct or practices that would otherwise serve to detrimentally impact my ability to serve as an Ambassador and to represent the Vitalibis product line and values for which it stands. The foregoing obligations, conduct and practices shall, together, constitute the policy of Vitalibis as regards minimum standards of acceptable conduct by Ambassador ("Policy"). Ambassador shall not engage in any conduct that may, damage or cast a negative light on either (a) the goodwill, reputation, brand, management personnel or business of Vitalibis, or (b) the Product(s). While it is impossible to specify all misconduct that would be contrary to our Policy, Ambassador expressly and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that the following list of conduct and standards specifically apply to and govern Ambassador's activities hereunder:
2 |
AT NO TIME SHALL AMBASSADOR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR CLAIMS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, AT ANY TIME, IN ANY FORM OF COMMUNICATION RELATING TO THE VITALIBIS PRODUCTS, OR THE INCOME THAT MAY BE DERIVED FROM HIS/HER POSITION AS AN AMBASSADOR, SAVE AND EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING:
1. | THE REPRESENTATIONS AND CLAIMS PUBLISHED BY VITALIBIS ON ITS COMPANY WEBSITE; |
2. | THE REPRESENTATIONS AND CLAIMS PUBLISHED BY VITALIBIS ON THE PRODUCT PACKAGING; and |
3. | THE REPRESENTATIONS AND CLAIMS ON THE CONTAINERS IN WHICH THE PRODUCTS ARE SOLD. |
· | Ambassador must conspicuously identify himself/herself as a Vitalibis Independent Contractor / Ambassador in all advertising, telephone directory listings, promotional material, social media postings, and other forms of communication in which Ambasador promotes Vitalibis, the Products, Vitalibis services ("Services ") and/or the Vitalibis business. Ambassador is responsible for the content of all material that he/she produces and/or utilizes in the performance of Services hereunder, specifically including, but not limited to any and all of his/her postings on any social media site, as well as all posting on any social media site that he/she own, operate, manage or control. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude or otherwise restrict Dusty from marketing Vitalibis products on his various business websites, provided that any and all sales under and through Dusty's Vitalibis website are processed and appropriately credited in and through Dusty's Vitalibis website sales link. |
· | Deceptive conduct is always strictly prohibited — no exceptions. Ambassador must ensure that his/her statements are truthful, fair, accurate, and are not misleading in any fashion. However, and because Ambassador will rely on certain representations and claims made by Vitalibis, Vitalibis expressly warrants that all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on its company website, all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on any and all product packaging, and all representations and claims on any and all containers in which Vitalibis products are sold are truthful, fair, accurate, and are not misleading in any fashion. |
· | Ambassador may not make any social media postings, or link to or from any postings or other material that is sexually explicit, obscene, pornographic, offensive, profane, hateful, threatening, harmful, defamatory, libelous, harassing, or discriminatory (whether based on race, ethnicity, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical disability, or otherwise), is graphically violent, is solicitous of any unlawful behavior, that engages in personal attacks on any individual, group, or entity, or is in violation of any intellectual property rights of Vitalibis or any third party. |
· | If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, or for no reason, Ambassador must immediately, commencing on the Date of Termination, and forever thereafter, discontinue using the Vitalibis name, trademark and all other Vitalibis intellectual property, and all derivatives of such intellectual property, in postings on any social media, websites, or other promotional material, for the purpose of promoting sales or other related business activity. |
· | Ambassador may not represent or imply that any state or federal government official, agency, or body has approved or endorses Vitalibis, its business, programs, or Products unless any such state or federal governmental official, agency, or body has approved or endorsed Vitalibis, its business, programs, or Products, or Ambassador is given authorization by Vitalibis to make such representations. |
Ambassador expressly and unconditionally represents, warrants and agrees that he/she shall not, directly or indirectly, offer the Products for sale or fulfill sales/orders of such Products through any website or other electronic site, without the express prior written consent of Vitalibis, which can be granted solely through execution by Vitalibis of a separate and distinct Vitalibis Authorized Online Seller Agreement. Execution by Vitalibis of the Authorized Online Seller Agreement constitutes the sole and exclusive authorized means of providing its consent to advertise, market or sell the Products online. No Vitalibis employee or agent may authorize online sales through oral statements, other written agreements, or by any other means. Selling on third-party marketplace sites, including Amazon, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, Sears Marketplace, and Jet, or through drop-ship accounts (e.g. Rakuten, Newegg, Overstock), classified sites (e.g. Etsy, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace), or social media is absolutely and strictly prohibited — no exceptions. Any Ambassador that violates the above prohibitions is subject to immediate and permanent termination of (i) this Agreement, and (ii) all purchasing and selling privileges.

10. Indemnification and Defense. Vitalibis and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, attorneys, agents and assigns (collectively referred to as "Indemnifying Parties") shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless indemnitee Ambassador 2 from, against and in respect of any and all losses involving a Third Party products liability claim or action incurred or suffered by the Ambassador, directly or indirectly, or relating to Vitalibis products. Indemnifying Parties shall defend indemnify and hold harmless Ambassador from, against and in respect to any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings, or other related litigation arising from, or in connection with, any and all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on its company website, all representations and claims published by Vitalibis on any and all product packaging, and all representations and claims on any and all containers in which Vitalibis products, including where Ambassador has repeated or disseminated such material. Ambassador and Vitalibis expressly agree that Ambassador shall retain the right, at Ambassador's sole discretion, to retain the attorney of Ambassador's choice in any such suit without waiving any of the defense and indemnity rights stated herein.
In connection with any agreement Vitalibis enters into with any other Ambassador, associate or otherwise, Vitalibis expressly represents and warrants that it shall require and include in any such agreement an indemnity and defense provision of equal dignity with the terms and conditions of this Section 10. The express intent of including this required provision is to insure that Dusty is protected from liability arising, directly or indirectly, from the action and/or inaction hereunder by any and all other Vitalibis Ambassadors.
In turn, Ambassador agrees to indemnify Vitalibis in connection with any conduct of Ambassador (conduct for which Vitalibis does not owe a duty to defend and indemnify Ambassador as determined by the above) for which there has been an adjudication of liability against Vitalibis.
11. Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" includes, but is not limited to, the identities, contact information, and/or sales information relating to Vitalibis Ambassadors and/or Customers: (a) that is contained in or derived from any Ambassador's respective "Behind the Counter" facilities or programs; (b) that is derived from any reports issued by Vitalibis to Ambassadors to assist them in operating and managing his/her respective Vitalibis-related business; and/or (c) to whom/which an Ambassador would not otherwise have access or would not otherwise have acquired, but for his/her independent contractor relationship with Vitalibis. Confidential Information also includes proprietary business trade secrets which belongs exclusively to Vitalibis, but are provided to Ambassador in strict confidence, and subject to prior execution of a Non-competition, Non-disclosure and Non-Circumvention Agreement, consistent with and governed in all respects by Nevada law. Such Agreement shall be expressly and unconditionally deemed by the parties hereto, for all purposes, to have been executed in the State of Nevada. Confidential Information shall not be directly or indirectly disclosed by Ambassador to any third party, nor used for any purpose whatsoever other than Ambassador's use in building and managing his/her Vitalibis-related business described herein.
_______________
2 This indemnity provision shall apply and extend to protect indemnitees, Johnnie B. Baker Jr., individually, and as Trustee of the Johnnie B. Baker and Melissa G. Baker, Revocable Trust ("the Trust"), and the Trust, as signatories to this Agreement.

12. Commissions. Vitalibis utilizes a unique compensation plan with three distinct commission areas: 1) Retail Commission, 2) Level 1 Commissions and 3) Level 2 Commissions. Accordingly, in addition to the benefits afforded to Ambassador under Addendum 1, Ambassador shall also be entitled to the commissions from sales as follows:
· | Retail Commissions are earned by Ambassadors who sell Products to Retail Customers. Retail Customers are those customers who purchase product directly through the Vitalibis website and who are not otherwise defmed as Level 1 or Level 2 Ambassadors. Vitalibis uses a tiered Retail Commission structure as follows: Total Retail Sales between $1-499 in a calendar month will earn a 20% commission; Total Retail Sales between $500-999 in a calendar month will earn a 25% commission; Total Retail Sales of $1,000 or more in a calendar month will earn 30% commission. |
· | Level 1 Commissions earned by Ambassadors whose Level 1 Ambassadors generate sales volume. Level 1 Ambassadors are ambassadors defined in Addendum 1 as members of Dusty's Ambassador Team. Vitalibis uses a tiered Level 1 Commission structure as follows: Total Level 1 Volume between $1-2,499 in a calendar month will earn 5% commission; Total Level 1 Volume between $2,500-$4,999 in a calendar month will earn 7% commission; Total Level 1 Volume of $5,000 or more in a calendar month will earn 10% commission. |
· | Level 2 Commissions are earned by Ambassadors whose Level 2 Ambassadors generate sales volume. Level 2 Ambassadors are ambassadors not otherwise defined as Retail Customers or Level 1 Ambassadors and are those who sign up as ambassadors through the company website. All Level 2 Commissions are paid out at 5%. |
Payments for all commissions earned shall be paid to Ambassador on a monthly basis, unless Vitalibis modifies its payment system to enable weekly and/or daily payment of commissions to its entire Ambassador community.
13. Adjustment to Commissions. When a Products is returned to Vitalibis for a refund, is repurchased by the Company, or a chargeback occurs, the commissions earned as a result of the corresponding sale will be deducted from the Ambassador and his/her commissions. A refund of one order may impact the commissions for one or more Ambassadors, but shall not, in any way, affect any of the benefits earned or accumulated under the Milestone provisions set forth in Addendum 1.
14. Order Cancellation and Return Policy. Federal and state law requires that Ambassador notifies his/her retail Customers that the Customers have 3 business days within which to cancel his/her purchase and receive a full refund upon return of the Products in substantially as good condition as when they were delivered. Ambassador shall verbally inform his/her Customers of this right, shall provide them with 2 copies of a retail receipt at the time of the sale, and shall point out this cancellation right stated on the receipt. Vitalibis agrees that it is responsible for keeping Ambassador informed of any changes to the Order Cancellation and Return Policy, and/or any changes in the applicable Federal and state law.
· | NOTE: The exceptions to the 3-business day rule are as follows: 5 business days for Alaska residents; and 15 business days for residents of North Dakota over the age of 65. For purposes of counting the applicable days, Saturday is a business day, Sundays and legal holidays are not business days. |
· | In addition to the Federal and State laws requiring cancellation notices, Vitalibis offers the following return policy: |
· | Return Procedures: Within 45 calendar days of a Product purchase, you must complete a Return Authorization Form (available on the Company website at www.vitalibis.com ). Return the merchandise along with the fully completed Return Authorization Form to Vitalibis' home office (the return shipping address is on the Return Authorization Form). |
15. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. Jurisdiction and venue of any matter arising hereunder shall reside exclusively in the Superior Court of Placer County, California. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all matters relating to any and all disputes of whatsoever nature arising hereunder, and the sole and exclusive method of resolution of such disputes shall be binding, non-appealable arbitration hereunder. This notwithstanding, the laws of the State of Nevada shall solely and exclusively govern all matters relating to or arising, directly or indirectly, from this Agreement.
5 |
16. Dispute Resolution.
· | If a dispute arises relating to any relationship, contractual or otherwise, between or among Vitalibis, its officers, employees, members, agents, attorneys, partners, Ambassadors or vendors ("Party" or "Parties"), or arising out of any Products sold by Vitalibis, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute in an amicable and mutually satisfactory manner. |
· | In the event such efforts are unsuccessful for any reason, either Party may serve a written notice of arbitration ("Notice of Arbitration") on the other Party. Notice of Arbitration shall be personally delivered or sent by prepaid registered mail, courier, facsimile transmission, email or by such other means of telecommunication that provides a record of sending the Notice of Arbitration and shall be effective on receipt thereof by the Party to whom it is addressed. The Notice of Arbitration shall be dated, and, without prejudice to any right under the applicable rules permitting subsequent modifications, shall specify the claims or issues which are to be arbitrated. The Parties shall schedule an arbitration to occur in Placer County, California within 45 calendar days of receipt of the Notice of Arbitration. |
· | THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT, IN ORDER TO PROMOTE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT REASONABLY POSSIBLE A MUTUALLY AMICABLE |
RESOLUTION OF THE DISPUTE IN A TIMELY, EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER, THEY KNOWINGLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE HIS/HER RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND SHALL SETTLE HIS/HER DISPUTE SOLELY BY SUBMITTING THE CONTROVERSY TO BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("A.A.A.") THEN IN EFFECT, EXCEPT THAT ALL PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ALL DISCOVERY RIGHTS ALLOWED UNDER THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE/SHE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS CLAUSE WITH AN ATTORNEY AND/OR A PROFESSIONAL OF THEIR CHOICE.
· | The Parties shall attempt to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator from A.A.A.'s Panel of Arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) business days of the mailing and/or service date of the Notice of Arbitration, Vitalibis or its related parties shall propose, in writing, a list five arbitrators from the A.A.A. Panel of Arbitrators. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of the proposed list, Ambassador shall select one arbitrator or propose Ambassador's own list of five arbitrators. Vitalibis or its related parties shall have five (5) business days to select one arbitrator from Ambassador's proposed list. If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator or an arbitrator is not selected by agreement, an arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the Commercial Rules of A.A.A. |
· | The Arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et. seq.; and the judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any California court having jurisdiction to enter the judgement. Either Party may elect to participate in the arbitration telephonically. Any substantive or procedural rights other than the enforceability of this Dispute Resolution Policy shall be governed by solely and exclusively by Nevada law, without regards to Nevada's conflict of laws principles. NOTE: Louisiana resident Ambassadors may choose to arbitrate contract disputes in Louisiana and Louisiana law will govern the contract and dispute. |
· | The Parties agree that any arbitration proceeding will be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide, basis, and that any proceeding between the Parties may not be consolidated with another proceeding between one of the Parties and any other entity or person. THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY AND SPECIFICALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO CLASS-WIDE TREATMENT OF ANY CLAIM COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY. |
· | The Parties further expressly agree that (i) the arbitrator shall only reach his/her decision by applying strict rules of law to the facts, (ii) the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, in Placer County, California (iii) the Party in whose favor the arbitration award is rendered shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses of the arbitration including, but not limited to, legal fees, expert or other professional fees, and the cost and expense of administration of the arbitration proceedings, and any costs and legal fees incurred in executing on or enforcing the arbitration award, and (iv) the arbitration award shall be issued in Placer County, California. |
6 |
· | The Parties, A.A.A., and the arbitrator shall maintain the confidentiality of the entire arbitration process and may not disclose to any other person not directly involved in the arbitration process: (i) the substance of, or basis for, the controversy, dispute, or claim; (ii) the content of any testimony or other evidence presented at an arbitration hearing or obtained through discovery in the arbitration; or (iii) the terms or amount of any arbitration award. A.A.A. and the arbitrator shall have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the law provides to the contrary. |
· | Except as provided in the following sentences, no party shall be entitled to commence or maintain any action in a court of law upon any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted and determined as provided herein and then only for the enforcement of such arbitration award. Provided that, notwithstanding this Dispute Resolution Policy, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in Placer County, California to seek injunctive relief before or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. The institution of any action for injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration. Judgment upon the award may be entered by the Superior Court of Placer County, California, or application may be made to such court for the judicial acceptance of the award and order of enforcement, as the case may be, if the Arbitrator's award or decision is not complied with within 7 calendar days of the date the Arbitrator's decision is issued. |
· | Arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Dispute Resolution Policy shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for resolution of disputes between the Parties, including any disputes that might arise after termination of this Agreement. |
· | Notwithstanding the foregoing, any revision, modification, amendment to, or termination of the Dispute Resolution protocol contained in this Agreement shall not apply to a dispute of which Vitalibis has actual notice prior to the effective date of such revision, modification, amendment or termination.

17. Handling Personal Information. As an Ambassador, you may receive Personal Information from and about prospective Ambassadors, Customers and other individuals.

Personal Information is information that identifies, or permits you to contact, an individual. It includes a Customer's, potential Customer's or other individual's name, address, email address, phone number, credit card information, and other information associated with these details, such as purchases of Product(s).
