EX-10.2 4 ex10-2.htm DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

 

Exhibit 10.2

 

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

This Distribution Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made effective the 15th day of February, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between SOSRx LLC, A Delaware Corporation, with offices at 2420 Brunello Trace, Lutz, FL 33558 (“SOSRx”), and Integra Pharma Solutions LLC with offices at 6308 Benjamin Rd, Unit 708, Tampa, FL (“Supplier”). References to the Agreement include the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, if any.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

SOSRx operates an online e-commerce site where its “Members” purchase pharmaceutical and other medical products from “Manufacturers.”

 

SOSRx desires to have Supplier facilitate the distribution of Manufacturer’s products purchased on the SOSRx platform to its Members, and Supplier desires to accept such engagement.

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for the reasons described in the Background above and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS; COMMITMENT BY SUPPLIER AND SOSRX

 

A. Appointment. Supplier hereby appoints each SOSRx Member an active account for Manufacturer Non-Control (Schedule 2-5 as classified by the US Drug Enforcement Agency) products bought on the SOSRx platform (individually and collectively referred to as “Products”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Members” will mean the entities recognized by SOSRx as members from time to time during the term of this Agreement. SOSRx will notify Supplier of any changes to its membership.

 

B. Sales to Members. Supplier will sell Products to SOSRx Members on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement as it may be amended as provided herein.

 

C. SOSRx’s commitment to Supplier. SOSRx hereby commits to use its best commercial efforts to notify its Members of the terms of this Agreement.

 

2. TERM AND TERMINATION

 

A. Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will continue in effect until December 31, 2023 and automatically renews each year until termination. Reference to the terms of this Agreement will include any renewal or extension of the term.

 

B. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in whole or in part by either party as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by the other party if such breach is not cured within 30 days after notice of such breach by the non-breaching party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, termination as herein provided is the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a breach by a Member of any purchase agreement with Supplier is not a breach by SOSRx under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

C. Effect of termination on orders. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Supplier will fill all outstanding Member purchase orders in accordance with their terms and within 60 days after such expiration or termination will invoice SOSRx the logistical facilitation payment described in Paragraph 3 owed as of such date.

 

 

 

 

3. LOGISTICAL FACILITATION FEE

 

For each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) during the term of this Agreement SOSRx will remit to Supplier a logistical facilitation fee equal to 2% of the net price of each Member’s purchases during such period (the “Logistical Facilitation Fee”). Within 60 days after the end of each such period, Supplier will submit to SOSRx a quarterly recap of each Member’s purchases, accompanied by Supplier’s invoice in the amount of the logistical facilitation Fee payable by SOSRx sent to SOSRx at 2420 Brunello Trace, Lutz FL 33558.

 

4. PRODUCT PRICE; REBATES; PROMOTIONS; PAYMENT TERMS; CREDIT MATTERS

 

A. Prices. Prices for Products submitted ONLY via the SOSRx Platform, except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 4A will be made available to Members during the term of this Agreement. Under no circumstances will Supplier charge a Member a higher price for Products than is established by this Agreement. Failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 4 is a material breach of this Agreement.

 

i. Supplier may change its prices during the term of this Agreement by giving SOSRx and Member notice of such change due to unforeseen circumstances affecting direct operational costs. SOSRx and Member must approve this change prior to any shipment.

 

C. Payment terms. Unless otherwise set forth, Supplier will offer Members payment terms of net 30 days; provided however, Supplier reserves the right to require cash in advance when reasonable.

 

D. Credit matters. All monies/credit memos due to a Member (whether or not amounts are customarily paid to SOSRx as the Members’ agent) in the form of a rebate, approved product returns, shelf stock adjustment, promotional allowance, advertising allowances, or other amount due to a Member under this Agreement or otherwise (individually and collectively referred to as a “Credit Amount”) will be paid/issued to such Member within 60 days after the obligation with respect thereto is incurred. After this period, the affected Members may issue a debit memo to Supplier in the total amount of the Credit Amount owed by Supplier and deduct such amount from one or more subsequent payments to Supplier for Products.

 

i. If a Member has a credit balance, the Member reserves the right to request a check to be paid within 30 days and Supplier will comply with such request.

 

ii. Supplier will bring to the attention of the appropriate Member in writing all discrepancies affecting monies owed by either Supplier or Member to the other, including without limitation, discrepancies with respect to accounting, invoicing, debit memos, and credit memos, within 60 days from the date of the invoice.

 

iii. SOSRx makes no representation or warranty as to its Members’ ability or willingness to pay Supplier. While SOSRx may attempt to help resolve any such problem, it is the Supplier’s sole responsibility to resolve all such problems directly with Members.
