Our Code of Ethics
SHAREDMARGIN is built on the belief that commerce can be ethical, transparent, and genuinely uplifting. These are the values we ask every participant to uphold.
"SHAREDMARGIN is a regenerative commerce system that redistributes margin from everyday purchases back to active participants — empowering individuals and communities through Margin-Back Units, Jegnaship, and merchant incubation. While SHAREDMARGIN borrows structural elements from multi-level marketing, it firmly rejects exploitative practices."
What we stand for
Every SHAREDMARGIN Affiliate, Patron, and merchant is expected to uphold these principles in every interaction.
Honesty and Integrity
Conduct all SHAREDMARGIN-related activities ethically and honestly. Avoid exaggerated claims about income potential or product benefits. What you earn is based on real purchases — represent it accurately.
Jegnaship — Genuine Support
Support and mentor your downline Affiliates. The Jegna spirit means you see those you sponsor not just as a source of override credits but as people whose success you are genuinely invested in.
Transparency
Do not misrepresent the SHAREDMARGIN opportunity. All income claims must align with official SHAREDMARGIN materials. The platform's reward structure is fully published — share it accurately.
Respect for the Community
Refrain from disparaging other companies or participants. Do not use your SHAREDMARGIN affiliation to promote unrelated business interests. Build your network through positive engagement.
Compliance
Comply fully with SHAREDMARGIN policies and procedures. All policy amendments are published on sharedmargin.com and are binding once posted. Stay informed and stay compliant.
Confidentiality
Downline reports and internal SHAREDMARGIN data are confidential. Do not share network data, member information, or proprietary platform information with parties outside the network.
What is expected of every participant
Membership and Sponsorship

Resignation, Transfers, and Termination
