9. Minimum Advertised Pricing
Reseller acknowledges that it is subject to BodyBio's minimum advertised pricing policy, as may be updated from time to time, available at www.bodybio.com/map. This section is for informational purposes only. BodyBio’s MAP Policy is not an agreement between BodyBio and Reseller. BodyBio does not seek and will not accept any promise of compliance with its MAP Policy from any Reseller or other party.
10. Product Care, Customer Service, and Other Quality Controls
Reseller shall comply with all of BodyBio's quality controls, protocols, and instructions with respect to the Product, in order to maintain the quality of the Product, including the BodyBio Product Care, Customer Service, and Other Quality Controls, attached as Exhibit B, as may be updated from time-to-time by BodyBio.
11. Adverse Event Reporting
An adverse event is any adverse health outcome associated with the use of a dietary supplement. A serious adverse event is an adverse event that results in death, life-threatening illness or injury, inpatient hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or a congenital anomaly or birth defect.
Reporting of Adverse Events
If Reseller becomes aware of an Adverse Event associated with the use of a dietary supplement manufactured, marketed, or distributed by BodyBio, they must report the event to BodyBio within 48 hours of becoming aware of the Adverse Event.
The information that must be reported to BodyBio includes: the identity of the person to whom the Adverse Event occurred; the identity of the person who reported the Adverse Event; the name of the suspect dietary supplement(s); and a description of the Adverse Event.
BodyBio will investigate all reports of Adverse Events and will determine any corrective actions that need to be taken. Reseller must assist BodyBio in obtaining any information needed to investigate the Adverse Event and report the event to the FDA.
BodyBio will maintain records of all Adverse Events reported and investigated. Records of Adverse Events will be kept for a period of at least six years. All records must be accessible to the FDA for review.
12. Injunctive Relief
The parties agree that breach of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 ("Sections") will irreparably harm BodyBio's brand reputation and goodwill. Accordingly, BodyBio shall have the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent a breach or threatened breach of those Sections, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security.
13. Liquidated Damages
Reseller acknowledges that Sections 3-10 are necessary and proper in order to protect BodyBio's brand reputation and goodwill, and to preserve authorized resellers (including Reseller's) ability to make a reasonable margin on Product sales. Reseller agrees that if it violates the Sections, BodyBio will be damaged in an amount that will be difficult or impossible to ascertain. Accordingly, Reseller agrees to pay liquidated damages to compensate BodyBio for damages resulting from Reseller's breach of the Sections (the “Liquidated Damages”). The parties have made advance provision for Liquidated Damages to avoid controversy, delay and expense in the event of any breach of the Sections. Liquidated Damages shall be an amount equal to $200.00 for each separate breach for each day of breach. Each breach with respect to a Product shall be considered a separate breach for the purposes of this Section. For example, if Reseller is in breach with respect to three different Product for a period of 10 days, Reseller will be deemed to have committed 30 breaches and be subject to Liquidated Damages of $6,000.00. The Liquidated Damages are estimated based on the various damages that BodyBio expects to suffer upon any breach of these Sections, including lost sales; infringement of BodyBio's trademarks and other intellectual property; irreparable harm to BodyBio's business, customer relationships, goodwill and quality control procedures; and costs of investigating breaches. Reseller agrees that the Liquidated Damages are not a penalty and are reasonably estimated in light of the anticipated or actual harm that would be caused by a breach and the difficulty of proving the amount of loss and otherwise providing an adequate remedy to BodyBio.
14. Representations
Reseller's representations made in the Application and this Agreement are true and correct. Reseller shall promptly advise BodyBio if those representations are no longer true and correct, provided, that such notice shall not diminish or eliminate Reseller’s liability for misrepresentations made prior thereto.
Reseller shall not make any representations or warranties about BodyBio’s Products that are not expressly provided by BodyBio or that are in violation of rules, regulations, orders and directives of the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).
15. Independent Contractors
BodyBio's relationship with Reseller is that of an independent contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to place the parties or their personnel in the relationship of employer and employee, partners, principal and agent, joint venturers or as an insurer or a representative of the other party to this Agreement. Reseller shall not have the authority to bind or obligate BodyBio nor shall Reseller hold itself out as having such authority.

20. Termination; Suspension; Survival
This Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time, with or without reason, by giving the other party written notice of such termination.

Upon termination or suspension of this Agreement, Reseller shall not be entitled to order additional Products from BodyBio and the limited license to sell BodyBio’s Products and use its intellectual property shall immediately cease. Those provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement shall so survive.
