​

By submitting an Order on behalf of a Buyer for a Marketplace Transaction, You represent that You are authorized to do so by the Buyer organization on whose behalf You are submitting an Order. Buyer shall not order Products for a Purchase Location or take receipt of any shipments of a Product unless Buyer possesses all licenses, registrations, permits and consents required under applicable federal, state and local laws to purchase, receive, store, handle, and use such Product (collectively, “Licenses”) for the Purchase Location. Buyer will provide Us a copy of Licenses and copies of License renewals at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to expiration and promptly upon request and Buyer authorizes Us to provide copies of such Licenses to Seller. 

​

Buyer may submit Orders for Product via the Marketplace, subject to any limitations noted in the Order guidelines established by GraphiteRx pursuant to the Graphite Financial Solutions Terms of Service for Buyers (“Buyer Finance ToS”).  If the Seller receives Orders for Product in excess of available quantities, Seller has the right to allocate such Product among its customers in such a manner as Seller, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Each Order is limited to a single Purchase Location and a single Seller.  The price of an Order must be within Buyer’s trade account limit that is managed by GraphiteRx pursuant to the Buyer Finance ToS.  Buyer must contact GraphiteRx if Buyer wishes to increase Buyer’s trade account limit. If Buyer’s organization requires Orders to be approved, the Orders will be routed for approval prior to submission to Seller.  Buyer understands that any delays in Buyer approval may impact the Order, including Product availability, pricing and delivery lead time.  We may prevent an Order from being submitted if there is a material adverse change in Buyer’s financial condition, payment performance for any invoices due to GraphiteRx  or a Seller by Buyer, or if Buyer does not meet GraphiteRx’s trade account requirements.

​

Sellers will accept or reject Orders submitted between 9 am and 5 pm CT on a business day by the later of (i) 1 pm CT or (ii) two (2) hours after submission. Seller will promptly notify Buyer if an Order cannot be fulfilled as requested by Buyer. All communications regarding Orders must be made or documented through the Site.

​

If Seller is unable to fulfill the full Product quantity ordered, Seller may ship Buyer a lesser quantity, provided that Seller notifies Buyer of the update prior to shipping the Order via the Site messaging feature.  If Seller cannot ship the Product on time to allow for delivery within the Order-to-delivery lead time as listed by Seller pursuant to Section 4 at the time of Order, Seller must obtain Buyer’s consent to such later delivery date.  If Buyer agreed to pay a fee for expedited shipping and the expected delivery is later than what was listed or provided to the Buyer at the time of the Order, Seller will not include any expedited shipping fees on the invoice for the Order.   Any Product change or substitution, will require the rejection of the original Product Order and the submission of a new Order by Buyer for the alternative Product. If the Order was for a regular dated Product and Seller only has short-dated Product to ship, Seller must obtain Buyer’s consent and update the Order to reflect the lower Product price agreed to with the Buyer. For clarity, Seller must obtain Buyer’s consent for any deviation from the original Order, whether or not  described in this paragraph and if Seller cannot fulfill Buyer’s Order as requested, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to accept the change with an appropriate reduction in price or reject the change and cancel the Order. Buyer acknowledges that delays in providing required approvals may delay Order availability and delivery.

​

If an Order is submitted before 5 pm CT on a business day, and is accepted by Seller, the Order will be shipped to the Purchase Location in accordance with the Order to delivery lead time provided by Seller, which will be posted on the Site and visible to Buyer at time of Order, including any additional lead time that may be required if Seller does not ship on Thursday or Friday .

If Buyer submits a discrepancy reporting form but does not reject the Product, and instead accepts the delivery of Product, (i) the price for the increased or reduced quantity of the Products will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis, and Buyer will return any damaged Product to Seller for a refund or replacement in accordance with the Seller’s return policy.

If the price displayed in the Marketplace is inaccurate, Seller shall immediately: (i) notify Us and (ii) provide updated pricing information to Us. If Buyer is eligible for a price displayed on the Marketplace and the price displayed was inaccurate because it was too low, Seller must obtain Buyer’s approval prior to fulfilling the Order. If the price displayed was inaccurate because it was too high, Seller must notify Buyer that the invoice amount will be lower as part of Seller’s Order acceptance notification, but Buyer approval is not required prior to fulfillment. Buyer acknowledges that delays in providing required approvals may delay Order availability and delivery.

​

23.            Dispute Resolution

​

NOTICE OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: THESE MARKETPLACE T&Cs INCLUDE A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, SET FORTH BELOW, WHICH AFFECT RIGHTS ABOUT RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN SELLER AND BUYER OR BETWEEN EITHER OF THEM AND MCCP AND/OR GRAPHITERX.

​

Buyer and Seller and We will work in good faith to resolve any and all issues, claims, and/or disputes arising out of these Marketplace T&Cs or use of the Marketplace (hereinafter referred to as a “Dispute”) including, but not limited to all questions of the existence, validity, scope, or interpretation of the Marketplace T&Cs or any term contained in these Marketplace T&Cs prior to the commencement of any litigation or arbitration. In the event a Dispute arises, the party asserting the Dispute shall provide written notice to the other party identifying the nature and scope of the Dispute. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such notice is provided, then either may request, in writing, a meeting or telephone conference to resolve the Dispute.  At any such meeting or telephone conference, each party shall have present appropriate decision-making personnel and shall make good faith efforts to resolve the dispute. A party may commence arbitration only if a representative of the party seeking to commence such litigation or arbitration certifies in writing that one of the following is true: (i) the Dispute was not resolved after faithfully following the procedures set forth above in this Section; or (ii) the other party did not fully comply with the procedures set forth above in this Section.

​

Buyer and Seller and, if applicable, MCCP and/or GraphiteRx, shall arbitrate any Dispute that is not resolved in accordance with the procedures in this Section. Such arbitration shall be governed by the terms of this Section and shall be final and binding. Buyer and Seller agree to waive any right to participate in a class action or other representative proceeding to resolve a Dispute. Any arbitration proceeding under this Section will take place on an individual basis. If the arbitration provisions in these Marketplace T&Cs are found inapplicable to the Dispute or otherwise unenforceable, this class waiver will continue to apply in litigation. Buyer and Seller agree that this class waiver is an essential element of the Marketplace T&Cs and your use of the Marketplace and that this class action waiver may not be severed. In the event this class action waiver is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the entire agreement to arbitrate in this Section shall be null and void.

​

Any Dispute subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section must be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS Streamlined Rules. The arbitrator will be bound by and will strictly enforce these Marketplace T&Cs and any additional relevant Terms and may not limit, expand or otherwise modify any of the provisions of the foregoing. Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties, any arbitration will be held, in either New York, NY, Dallas, TX, San Francisco, CA, or Wilmington, DE, or if the Buyer is a state-owned entity, the capital city of the Buyer’s state. Buyer and Seller agree that Marketplace Transactions evidence transactions in interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (notwithstanding the application of state law to any underlying claims).

A party that retains legal counsel to enforce these Marketplace T&Cs against the other party shall be entitled to receive attorney’s fees and related enforcement costs if such enforcing party prevails.

​

24.            [Intentionally left blank]

​

25.            Drug Supply Chain Security Act Compliance (“DSCSA”)

​

If “Product” (as such term is defined in the DSCSA) is sold under these Marketplace T&Cs, Seller shall fully comply with the DSCSA, including all requirements to timely provide Buyer with T2/T3 and serialization information.

​

26.            Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”)

​

If Product is subject to a REMS, Seller shall provide terms and conditions specific to the REMS to Us and We shall provide such terms and conditions to Buyer at the time of Order (“REMS Exhibit”). Buyer shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth within any REMS Exhibit corresponding to a Product for which Buyer has placed an Order via the Marketplace.

​

27.            Waiver

​

No parties shall be deemed to have waived any right under these Marketplace T&Cs, unless such waiver is expressed in a writing signed by such parties.  The waiver by either parties of a breach or violation of any provision of these Marketplace T&Cs shall not operate or be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof.

​

28.            Headings & Construction

​

The headings preceding the Sections of these Marketplace T&Cs are inserted as a matter of convenience only and in no way define, limit or describe either the scope of these Marketplace T&Cs or the intent of any provisions of these Marketplace T&Cs.

As used herein, the word “including” shall mean “including, without limitation”.

​

29.            Notices

​

All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by delivery in person, by nationally recognized overnight courier or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the address each party maintains in its Marketplace profile as its address for notice with a copy to Us. Such notice shall be deemed to be received when delivered if delivered personally, or the next business day after the date sent if sent by a United States national overnight delivery service, or three (3) business days after the date mailed if mailed by certified or registered mail, or upon receipt of confirmation of delivery if sent by facsimile.  Any notice of any change in such address shall also be given in the manner set forth above.

​

30.            Severability

​

Except as provided in Section 23, should any one or more of the provisions of these Marketplace T&Cs be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of these Marketplace T&Cs shall be given effect separately from the provision or provisions determined to be illegal or unenforceable and shall not be affected thereby.

​

31.            Governing Law

​

These Marketplace T&Cs and any disputes hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable federal Law and the laws of the State of Delaware (or if the Buyer is a state-owned entity, the laws of Buyer’s state) without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the United States or State of Delaware (or if the Buyer is a state-owned entity, the laws of Buyer’s state).

​

32.            Force Majeure

​

Except for the obligation to pay money, a Buyer or Seller shall not be liable to the other party, in any manner, for failure to meet its obligations under these Marketplace T&Cs to the extent such failure is caused by matters beyond the reasonable control of such party, including  strikes, labor disputes, earthquakes, act of Gods, fires, floods, war, public disasters, governmental  acts or regulations, or any changes in applicable Legal Requirements that in the reasonable opinion of counsel, could render illegal or unenforceable any of the activities contemplated in these Marketplace T&Cs or have a materially adverse impact on such party or its affiliates. 

​

33.            Publicity

​

Except as expressly provided in the Marketplace T&Cs,  a party shall not disclose that it has transacted with the other party through the Marketplace, nor originate any publicity, news release or other public announcement, written or oral, in relation thereto, without the prior written consent of the other party(ies), including MCCP and GraphiteRx; provided, however a party may disclose such information to a government agency to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements.

​

34.            Survival

​

Each party shall remain bound by any and all terms that, by their nature, survive following conclusion of the Marketplace Transaction conducted pursuant to these Marketplace T&Cs, including but not limited to ownership provisions, records, disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

​

35.            Third Parties

​

Nothing in these Marketplace T&Cs shall be construed or deemed to create any rights or remedies in any third party, provided however, that to the extent that GraphiteRx or MCCP are not parties to any Marketplace T&Cs, Buyer and Seller agree that MCCP and GraphiteRx are third party beneficiaries.
