Purchase Terms and Conditions
1. Entire Agreement
By purchasing products and/or services from PODS Pharma, Ltd., its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, as may be applicable (collectively, “PODS Pharma”), you agree to be bound by and accept the terms and conditions contained herein (this “Agreement”). If you have signed a formal written agreement between you and PODS Pharma governing your purchases, that written agreement shall govern your purchases, including purchases from our secure website(s) (the “Ordering Site”), except as otherwise provided for in any such agreement.
In the absence of such an agreement or in the event such agreement is silent as to a particular term or condition, the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall control and shall apply to all of your purchases, including, but not limited to, online purchases from our Ordering Site, and may NOT be altered, supplemented, or amended by you through the use of any other document(s). Any attempt to alter, supplement, or amend this Agreement, or to enter an order for product(s) which is (are) subject to additional or altered terms and conditions, will be null and void, unless otherwise agreed to in a written agreement signed by both you and PODS Pharma.
This Agreement does not supersede, waive or otherwise affect any security agreements, guarantees, credit applications or other agreements between you and PODS Pharma, none of which may be amended except by a writing signed by each party. You acknowledge and agree that PODS Pharma reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions in its sole discretion as it sees fit from time to time.
2. Price
Prices are subject to change by PODS Pharma without notice. Any additional costs incurred by PODS Pharma in connection with or arising out of the manufacture, sale or distribution of product, including, but not limited to, increases in labour, freight and materials cost before shipment of order and applicable overhead, may be invoiced to you and you agree to pay the same.
Premium time as required by you will be invoiced as an extra item. You will pay when due any value-added tax (VAT), excise, gross receipts, or other national, regional, or local taxes or other surcharges or assessments (other than any tax based on the net income of PODS Pharma or imposed upon inventory held by PODS Pharma in its warehouses) that PODS Pharma is at any time obligated to pay or collect based on, or in any way levied on, the sale of products and/or services, or the products or any services related thereto.
In addition, you will be obligated to pay all interest or penalties assessed by reason of your failure to comply with your obligations hereunder. If PODS Pharma pays any amounts which you are obligated to pay, then you will promptly reimburse PODS Pharma in an amount equal to the amount so paid by PODS Pharma.
3. Pricing Errors
Pricing errors may occur on the Ordering Site from time to time, on items sold by PODS Pharma, or items sold by third-party sellers. PODS Pharma attempts to correct all pricing errors promptly after discovery or after PODS Pharma receives notice of an error.
PODS Pharma reserves the right to cancel any orders containing pricing errors, with no further obligations to you, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or shipping notice from PODS Pharma. Any payments you make to PODS Pharma for orders that are cancelled due to pricing errors will be refunded.
4. Payment Terms
All payments shall be made in full, in good funds, and in accordance with the payment terms on your invoice, via BACS direct debit or other payment forms acceptable to PODS Pharma. Until product is paid for in full, PODS Pharma retains, and you hereby grant to PODS Pharma, a security interest in the ordered product.
PODS Pharma may assess a service charge calculated at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate allowed by law, if such rate is less than 1.5% per month) on any amount not paid to PODS Pharma when due. Failure or delay by PODS Pharma to invoice you for any such service charge will not waive PODS Pharma's right to receive the same.
In the event of default in payments on any invoices, PODS Pharma shall have the right to declare all invoices immediately due and payable. You agree to pay all out-of-pocket expenses, including solicitors’ fees and costs, incurred by PODS Pharma to collect any amounts due from you or to otherwise enforce any of the terms stated herein.
PODS Pharma (including its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent or related entities, individually or collectively) may exercise a right of set-off against any and all amounts due to you. PODS Pharma shall be deemed a single creditor for purposes of this section.
5. Shipment and Delivery
Orders are not binding upon PODS Pharma until accepted by PODS Pharma. PODS Pharma reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. PODS Pharma will indicate its acceptance of an order by issuing an invoice or by shipping the ordered product to you.
All shipments are made Ex Works (EXW) PODS Pharma's shipping point unless otherwise specified. In the absence of specific instructions, PODS Pharma selects the carrier. Title to products and risk of loss pass to you upon delivery thereof by PODS Pharma to the carrier or delivery service.
You assume all risk of loss in shipping and all liability for loss or damages, whether direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise, due to delays once the products have been delivered to the carrier.
6. Contingencies
PODS Pharma shall be excused from its obligations hereunder in whole or in part to the extent its performance is delayed or prevented by strikes, work stoppages or disputes, fires, floods, war (declared or undeclared), riots, loss or destruction of product, non-availability or delays of transportation, embargoes, accidents, delay or failure of PODS Pharma's suppliers to make delivery of material, shortages of material or labour, restrictions, limitations, obligations, taxes, assessments, duty or fee imposed by any government or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or any other cause beyond PODS Pharma's control.
In such circumstances PODS Pharma's obligations hereunder shall be suspended for so long as any such contingency continues, and you agree to extend, and are deemed to extend, for a corresponding period, any letters of credit or trade acceptance opened by you in respect to such shipment or delivery, provided, however, that if any shipment or delivery hereunder shall be so prevented for more than ninety (90) days, either PODS Pharma or you shall have the right to cancel the contract, but only with respect to such shipment or delivery, by written notice to the other.
7. Credit
PODS Pharma may at any time, in its sole discretion, limit the amount of credit to be extended to you and cancel any order with respect to all or any undelivered product if PODS Pharma shall deem such action advisable for credit reasons.
You hereby represent and warrant that you are solvent and agree that such representation and warranty shall be deemed repeated upon each order and/or delivery hereunder.
8. Generic Substitutions
You hereby authorise PODS Pharma to substitute one generic manufacturer's product for the equivalent product of another generic manufacturer without prior notice to you.
9. Returns
You agree that any products that are returned will be handled in accordance with, and shall be subject to, PODS Pharma's applicable then-current Returned Goods Policy.
10. Use of Products
You warrant that you have all required governmental licences, permits and approvals required to purchase, use and/or store the products you purchase from PODS Pharma and that all your purchases from PODS Pharma are for your “own use”, as such term is defined in judicial or legislative interpretation.
PODS Pharma may immediately terminate your ability to make purchases if PODS Pharma determines that you or any facility owned, operated, or managed by you, directly or indirectly, has breached this “own use” limitation.
You will comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to products purchased hereunder.
11. Warranty
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF.
12. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL PODS PHARMA BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY NATURE OR FOR LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS ARISING OUT OF YOUR PURCHASES FROM PODS PHARMA, THE USE OF PRODUCTS, OR PODS PHARMA’S FAILURE TO DELIVER ORDERED PRODUCTS.
IN NO EVENT SHALL PODS PHARMA’S LIABILITY FOR ANY ORDER OR PRODUCT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR SUCH ORDER OR PRODUCT. PODS PHARMA’S SOLE OBLIGATION AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH HEREUNDER WILL BE, AT PODS PHARMA’S OPTION, TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE PRODUCT.
13. Discount Disclosure
If you receive any “discounts or other reductions in price” under any applicable legislation or healthcare scheme, including the NHS reimbursement framework, you may be required to disclose the discounts or reductions in price under any programme which provides cost or charge-based reimbursement to you for the products or services you buy from PODS Pharma, or as otherwise requested or required by any governmental authority.
14. Miscellaneous
This Agreement and all communications, disputes and performance related hereto shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of England and Wales.
No rights hereunder or arising out of these terms and conditions may be assigned by you without the express written consent of PODS Pharma.
No waiver by PODS Pharma of any default or failure by PODS Pharma to enforce a right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any right or prior or subsequent default.
You agree that all information on our Ordering Site, this Agreement, and your purchase terms, including, but not limited to, price, are confidential and may not be disclosed to third parties.
