You may pay for your Membership fee only with credit and debit card payments (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).

Once your credit or debit card is charged the first Membership fee, you will receive a confirmation e-mail notifying you of your ability to access those Membership-only portions of, and Materials on, the Site. All membership fees are non-refundable.

You will be liable for paying any and all applicable sales and use taxes for the purchase of your Membership based on the mailing address that you provide when you register as a Member, and you authorize IPhO to charge your credit or debit card for any such applicable taxes.

If applicable, you agree to pay all fees or charges to your account based on IPhO's fees, charges, and billing terms in effect as shown on the Membership Fees page, www.industrypharmacist.org/membership.php, or the  Recruiter Job Credits page, www.industrypharmacist.org/job_account.php.  You are responsible for paying any taxes that may apply.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this carefully.  It affects your rights.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer's satisfaction by contacting us using our contact form. This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and IPhO. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.

Please read this Provision carefully. It provides that all Disputes between you and IPhO shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney's fees).

For the purpose of this Provision, "IPhO" means IPhO and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term "Dispute" means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and IPhO regarding any aspect of your relationship with IPhO, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). "Dispute" is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as IPhO's licensors, suppliers, dealers or third party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give IPhO an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to IPhO using our contact form. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If IPhO does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, you or IPhO may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the "Opt-Out Deadline"). You may opt out of this Provision by e-mailing written notification to IPhO using our contact form. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with IPhO through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with IPhO. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or IPhO may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA's Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because the Site and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or IPhO may initiate arbitration in either [CLIENT's U.S. location] or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. In the event that you select the federal judicial district that includes your billing address, IPhO may transfer the arbitration to [CLIENT's U.S. location] in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the transfer, as determined by the arbitrator.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – IPhO will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator's costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with IPhO as provided in the section above titled "Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution" and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and IPhO specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Site can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement you and IPhO are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and IPhO might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of your service with IPhO or its affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if IPhO makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require IPhO to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.

General

If you violate these Terms, IPhO may terminate and/or suspend your access to this Site without notice. IPhO prefers to advise you of your inappropriate behavior and to recommend any necessary corrective action. However, certain violations of these Terms, as determined by IPhO, may result in immediate termination of your access to this Site. The Federal Arbitration Act, New Jersey state law and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern these Terms. Foreign laws do not apply. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to this Agreement. Except for disputes subject to arbitration as described above, any disputes relating to these Terms or this Site will be heard in the courts located in Morris County in the State of New Jersey. If any of these Terms is found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. IPhO's failure to enforce any of these Terms is not a waiver of such term. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and IPhO and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between you and IPhO about this Site. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.

Our Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms

We use cookies and other mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or Services. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.

Persistent cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use these cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, which may be combined with other user information.

Third Party Cookies. We may also engage third parties to track and analyze Site data, via cookies placed through our Site. We use the data collected by such third parties to help us administer and improve the quality of the Site and to analyze Site usage.

Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to disable and manage your cookies settings. If you disable cookies you may still browse public areas of the Site, but many features and Services will not function.

Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages or within emails. We and our third party service providers may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Site to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Site usage. We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in our e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track when any links within the emails are clicked.

Site Analytics. We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Services. We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance and user experiences.

Communications We Send to You

If you subscribe, we may send you news, career tips, advice, job postings and other information we believe may interest you.  You may opt-out of these types of communications at any time by logging in to your account and editing your "communications preferences" or by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each of our emails. Please allow 10 business days for us to process your opt-out request. Even if you opt out, we may continue to send you emails about your account or any purchases or orders you have placed with us.

Updating Account Information

You may update your personal information and communications preferences at any time by logging in to your account, and selecting and editing the information you wish to update.

Continuing Pharmacy Education Credits

We will store your National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) eProfile ID and month and year of birth (MM/YY). Beginning in 2013, all pharmacists must register with NABP in order to obtain continuing education ("CE") credits. Storing your eProfile information on the IPhO site allows the Continuing Pharmacy Education Accredited Provider to process and verify the CE credits you earn directly with the NABP.

How We Protect Your Information

We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions, including, where appropriate, password protection, SSL, encryption, and internal restrictions on who may access data, in order to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.    

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

User Content and the IPhO Member Directory

If you post content, such as user comments, on our Site or Services, your posting may be viewed by other members and/or may become public. In addition, you may choose to make your name and contact information available through our member directory. Any information you post or make available on the Site, may be viewed by members and other third parties.

Terms of Use for IPhO Coaching Service

Effective Date: July 1, 2013

THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW (THE "TERMS") GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE INDUSTRY PHARMACISTS ORGANIZATION ("IPhO") COACHING SERVICE (the "COACHING SERVICE"). THESE TERMS ARE A LEGAL CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND IPhO AND GOVERN YOUR ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE COACHING SERVICE.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE COACHING SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE COACHING SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE YOUR AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY EACH OF THE TERMS SET FORTH BELOW.

IPhO CAN CHANGE, MODIFY OR ADD OR REMOVE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF USE FOR THE COACHING SERVICE AT ANY TIME BY POSTING UPDATED TERMS ON THIS SITE AND, BY EMAILING YOU AT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS OF RECORD WITH THE SITE. IF ANY CHANGE, MODIFICATION, ADDITIONAL PROVISION OR REMOVAL OF A PROVISION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOU SHALL CEASE USING THIS COACHING SERVICE. IF YOU INSTEAD CONTINUE TO USE THIS COACHING SERVICE, YOU WILL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE CHANGE.

Other than James Alexander, the coaches that provide coaching through the Coaching Service are independent contractors and are not employees or agents of IPhO. The coaching, materials, and information (the "Coach's Content) they provide to you as part of the Coaching Service are based on the coach's own independent thoughts and experiences and in no way reflect the thoughts or opinions of IPhO.

Privacy

Certain information supplied by you related directly to your participation in the Coaching Service will be shared with your coach prior to your coaching session. All discussions and information shared between you and your coach are confidential between you and your coach. IPhO has no knowledge of or responsibility for any confidential information provided by you or your coach in relation to the Coaching Service. You must sign a formal agreement with the coach that includes this confidentiality provision prior to receipt of any coaching as part of the Coaching Service.

You may not duplicate or otherwise use any coaching materials provided by your coach except upon receipt of explicit written permission to do so from your coach.

The service to be provided is coaching, which is not advice, therapy, or counseling. It is strictly for your benefit and is only intended to address career development challenges and opportunities. IPhO Coaching Services is a designed alliance that helps bring out the best in the client’s professional growth and satisfaction. You understand that the coach may or may not be a certified coach or someone who is otherwise considered qualified to provide Coaching Services.

The coaching relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that you may share with the Coach as part of this relationship, is considered to be confidential but is not considered a legally confidential relationship (as in Medicine or Law). Your coach will agree in writing not to disclose any of your confidential information without written consent. However, coaching session discussion topics and de-identified information may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with others for the purposes of training, supervision, mentoring, evaluation, furthering professional development of coaches and/or consultation purposes.

You agree to i) communicate honestly, ii) be open to feedback and assistance, and iii) invest the time and energy to participate fully in the program. If you believe that the Coaching Service is not working as desired, you will immediately communicate that to the coach and both you and the coach will take immediate action to remedy the situation.

You agree to participate fully in each scheduled appointment with your coach at the agreed date and time. Should you determine that you will be unable to keep the appointment with the coach at the agreed upon time, (excluding a true emergency), you hereby agree to commit to provide a minimum of 24 hour advance notice to the coach. Should you not provide this 24 hour advance notice, you understand that you are responsible for the full charges for the cancelled session and are not entitled to any refund, either full or partial. All Coaching Service fees are non-refundable.

You hereby certify that you do not suffer from any physical or mental disability that might affect your participation in the coaching process, and, if you have any substance abuse problem or mental illness, you have consulted with your physician or other health care professional and have been advised that you may participate in the Coaching Service without risk. If there is any change in this representation, you will promptly advise the coach.

The fee that IPhO will charge you for the Coaching Service will be the price posted on the IPhO website on the date that you purchase coaching credits. IPhO reserves the right to change prices for Coaching Services at any time, and does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases. All Coaching Service fees are non-refundable.

You may pay for your Coaching Services only with credit and debit card payments (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). We will charge your credit or debit card for your Coaching Service fees on the date that we process your order for your coaching credits. Once your credit or debit card is charged, you will receive a receipt for your purchase indicating the number of coaching credits that have been purchased. You may then redeem coaching credits by selecting the coach of your choice on the IPhO website. Upon redemption of coaching credits, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail notifying you to connect with the coach to organize a time for the coaching session. All Coaching Service fees are non-refundable.

You will be liable for paying any and all applicable sales and use taxes for the purchase of your Coaching Services based on the mailing address that you provide when you register as a Member, and you authorize IPhO to charge your credit or debit card for any such applicable taxes.

All applicable provisions of the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for the IPhO website remain in full force and effect, regardless of anything contained in this Terms of Use for IPhO Coaching Service.
