Certain Product(s) require special temperature storage conditions and precautions in accordance with the caution label attached to each package. With regard to these Product(s), Dermavant will not accept responsibility for any losses sustained through failure to store or handle as directed by the Product’s label. - CHARGEBACKS
Periodically, Dermavant may recognize the request by a buying group or other Dermavant customer to designate certain Dermavant distributors as their designated primary vendor (“Primary Vendor”) to supply eligible members with pharmaceutical and health care products. Product(s) that appear on a bid award/contract will be ordered from and shipped to the eligible group members by such Primary Vendor and invoiced at the current contract prices for each awarded item as notified to such Primary Vendor by Dermavant.Dermavant shall furnish such Primary Vendor with the following information for each bid/contract awarded to Dermavant:- Contract number;
- Products under contract;
- Contract prices and their effective and expiration dates;
- A list of authorized purchasers; and
- Such other information as may be necessary to accurately administer Chargebacks in accordance with Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) guidelines applicable to such Primary Vendor.
Dermavant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information at least five (5) business days prior to the effective date of the bid award/contract. Thereafter, Dermavant shall notify such Primary Vendor of revisions to a bid award/contract, and any additions to or deletions from the list of authorized purchasers for each bid award/contract. The obligation of Dermavant to make reimbursements available to such Primary Vendor shall only apply to items sold to the authorized purchaser for “its own use”, as defined below. Primary Vendor shall make commercially reasonable efforts to submit Chargeback requests that are limited to quantities of any item that were purchased for the own use of the authorized purchaser. Primary Vendor shall notify Dermavant immediately if an authorized purchaser is suspected of using Product(s) for purposes other than own use. In the event that Dermavant determines that an authorized purchaser is not eligible for contract prices, Primary Vendor shall work with Dermavant to recover all discounts extended via Chargeback to the end customer and shall not deduct from Dermavant any disputed amounts. Thereafter, the Primary Vendor shall remove the customer from all Dermavant contract pricing agreements.
The amount of a Chargeback credit/debit memo will be determined on the basis of the difference between the acquisition price furnished by Dermavant and the bid award/contract price as of the invoice date to the authorized purchaser by such Primary Vendor. Dermavant shall furnish a list of acquisition prices and updates thereto to such Primary Vendor whenever changes are made by Dermavant. Contract prices under a bid award/contract are considered confidential and such Primary Vendor shall not disclose contract prices to anyone other than an authorized purchaser, buying groups representing such authorized purchasers and Dermavant unless requested by an authorized purchaser to support claims involving medical payments under Federal, State or local programs.
At least once each month and for each bid award where there are Chargebacks, the Primary Vendor will send Dermavant an electronic Chargeback request (i.e., HDA established EDI 844 format) which shall contain:
- Primary Vendor’s name, address and unique identifiers such as DEA, HIN number and suffix or any other additional identifiers where they exist:
- Primary Vendor’s debit memo number;
- Each authorized purchaser’s DEA number and/or unique identifiers such as 340B ID, HIN number and suffix or any other additional identifiers where they exist;
- The contract number assigned by Dermavant and noticed to the Primary Vendor;
- Quantities, dates and the Primary Vendor’s invoice number for all Product(s) sold to each authorized purchaser;
- The NDC number for each Product;
- The acquisition price for each Product in effect on the date of invoice to the authorized purchaser;
- The contract price for each Product;
- Quantity of Product(s) returned to the Primary Vendor that were covered by an earlier Chargeback request;
- Extended Chargeback amounts for each Product; and
- Chargeback amount requested for each transaction claimed in each debit memo and total Chargeback amount requested for all debit memos.
Dermavant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to verify the amounts in each Chargeback request and issue initial credit/debit memos in the amounts verified within five to seven (5-7) business days following receipt of a Chargeback request. Primary Vendor acknowledge that the contract price for an item must be lower than the corresponding acquisition price for such Primary Vendor to receive credit. Such Primary Vendor shall not request Chargeback credit unless the authorized purchaser’s acquisition price is higher than the corresponding contract price. Further, Primary Vendor shall reverse all Chargebacks associated with Product(s) that are returned by Primary Vendor’s customers for resale.
Primary Vendor shall not submit chargebacks for partial quantities of Product less than the unit of sale as provided in the price list.
Primary Vendor shall use the HDA EDI 844 and EDI 849 data sets to send and receive Chargebacks to/from Dermavant electronically, including for original submissions and resubmissions. Dermavant shall provide some type of response (typically in the form of EDI 849, unless there is a systems issue) within thirty (30) days of submission or resubmission of an EDI 844. Primary Vendor shall refrain from taking any deduction prior to thirty (30) days after submission of any Chargeback for which a Primary Vendor has not received an EDI 849 response. If Dermavant: (i) does not pay (in whole or in part) and (ii) does not provide a reason for non-payment of a Chargeback via EDI 849, during the first thirty (30) days following submission of a Chargeback request, Primary Vendor may take a deduction for such Chargeback. Any EDI 849 response from Dermavant shall be considered as Dermavant’s request for payback of any amounts that have been deducted related to the Chargeback request. If Primary Vendor receives a response from Dermavant that denotes that Dermavant is investigating the request, Dermavant shall have an additional thirty (30) days to provide a determination on eligibility. After this sixty (60) day period following Chargeback submission, the Chargeback is considered closed unless a government audit requires correction or adjustment as described below. Dermavant’s determination as to the Chargeback’s disposition is final.
Chargebacks must be submitted within six (6) months of such Primary Vendor’s invoice to the authorized purchaser. Failure to submit a Chargeback request within this six (6) month period shall result in a waiver of rights to receive or take a credit with respect to any such Chargeback. Should a Primary Vendor dispute the amount verified for a particular item covered by a Chargeback request, such Primary Vendor may resubmit that item so long as such resubmission is done within six (6) months following the original invoice date to the authorized purchaser. Resubmissions made after this six (6) month period need not be considered by Dermavant. In the event of a government audit where new information surfaces that cause corrections or adjustments to prior sales, Chargeback claims can be reopened and resubmitted within twelve (12) months of the original invoice date to an authorized purchaser or as otherwise may be required in a government contract. Dermavant reserves the right to perform random Chargeback verifications. Such verification requests may include but are not be limited to the invoice copies and proof of delivery, and will be required to be provided to Dermavant within thirty (30) days of the original request. If a response is not received within thirty (30) days, Dermavant will reverse the Chargeback paid by issuing a debit to Primary Vendor’s account. In the event that Dermavant has not already paid a Chargeback subject to verification, payment will be withheld until the requested information is received. Dermavant further reserves the right to perform an on-site audit to verify Chargeback sales. Such on-site audits may be subject to specific contract terms between Dermavant and the Primary Vendor. In the event an audit reveals a discrepancy between the amounts of credit memos or debit memos issued under these provisions and the amounts verified, Dermavant shall issue a correcting credit memo or debit memo, as may be appropriate. Dermavant reserves the right to offset credits for Chargeback obligations with outstanding past due or previously written off invoices and deductions taken by either the Primary Vendor or customer.
Dermavant will not reimburse any costs incurred by the Primary Vendor or group members covering an event of Product non-availability. Chargebacks will only be accepted on Product(s) purchased in accordance with these Terms of Sale.
Primary Vendors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that: (i) for any inventory management activities and associated order entry activities on behalf of 340B covered entities enrolled and participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Program, the appropriate contract price is charged to such customers based upon their purchases requiring assignment among three accounts: 340B outpatient use, hospital in-patient use, and ‘non-WAC/non-GPO/non-340B’ outpatient use; and (ii) in accordance with such covered entity’s eligibility as listed on the HRSA website as of the date of purchase. When submitting chargebacks for purchases under the 340B outpatient program, Primary Vendor shall ensure it includes the appropriate 340B ID on all such chargeback submissions. When submitting chargebacks for all other purchases (including Source Program purchases), Primary Vendor will make best efforts to include the 340B ID as an alternate identifier for all 340B covered entity accounts. Primary Vendor must notify Dermavant of the account and contract identifiers it uses to identify purchases by 340B eligible customers for 340B outpatient use, hospital in-patient use, and ‘non-WAC/non-GPO/non-340B’ outpatient use.
If the Primary Vendor changes the account or contract identifiers it uses to identify purchases by 340B eligible customers, the Primary Vendor shall notify Dermavant within five (5) business days of such change. Primary Vendor shall submit any corrections for order errors or sales for 340B ineligible facilities/accounts that are discovered by either the covered entity or by the Primary Vendor within five (5) business days of discovery.
- PURCHASE FOR OWN USE
Sales by Dermavant to government agencies and other institutions (e.g., federal, state, city, charitable organizations) are made with the express understanding and agreement that the Product(s) purchased by these organizations is subject to the “own use” laws; is for their sole use and may not be commercially sold by them to any other entity or person for further sale or resale. - ALL OTHER CLAIMS
All other claims must be submitted to Dermavant within nine (9) months of the original event upon which the claim is based. Dermavant reserves the right to offset credits for all other claims with outstanding past due or previously written off invoices and deductions taken by either a Dermavant distributor or customer. - NOTICE OF OBLIGATION TO REPORT DISCOUNTS
To the extent that purchaser avails itself of a prompt pay discount in accordance with the terms herein, or otherwise receives a discount from Dermavant in connection with any purchase, direct or indirect, these Terms of Sale shall constitute notice to purchaser of a discount that it may be obligated to report under applicable laws, including, without limitation, the federal anti-kickback statute, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b), and its implementing regulations, 42 C.F.R. 1001.952(h) or (i). - PRODUCT(S) LIABILITY PROTECTION POLICY
