10. Arbitration Agreement And Class Action Waiver

A. Mandatory Binding Arbitration. Where permitted by law, the parties to these Terms of Use agree that final and binding arbitration on an individual basis shall be the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of your use of our website or these Terms of Use. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under these terms and conditions (despite any other choice of law provision).

Arbitration under these terms and conditions shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). For claims of less than or equal to $75,000 (exclusive of attorney’s fees, costs, and alleged punitive damages or penalties), the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at https://www.adr.org.  Any Notice of Arbitration should be mailed to us at the following address: Seqirus, Inc., 475 Green Oaks Parkway, Holly Springs, NC 27540.

B. Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any disputes to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others, except that an individual may seek in the arbitration public injunctive relief, and the AAA may include such relief in the award, where applicable.

Disputes may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction without a jury and not in arbitration.

C. Waiver of Rights. Including to Trial by Jury. By agreeing to arbitration, and where permitted by law, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle their disputes. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury, and review of an arbitrator’s decision is very limited. The parties both further agree that, whether a claim will be resolved in arbitration or in court, the parties both waive any right to a jury trial involving any claims or disputes.

D. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSL Seqirus reserves the right to institute a proceeding for equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14. California Compliance Declaration

Effective as of July 1, 2018. 

NOTICE: This information is provided pursuant to the requirements of California Health & Safety Code, Section 119402, which requires pharmaceutical companies doing business in California to make the details regarding their compliance program available, to set an annual aggregate dollar limit for California HCPs and to make an annual written declaration of compliance with the compliance program.

  1. California Health and Safety Code (Sections 119400-119402, "California Compliance Law") requires pharmaceutical companies to adopt a compliance program in accordance with guidance from the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) and policies for compliance with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) “Code on Interactions with Health Care Professionals.” CSL Seqirus has implemented a compliance program and will make appropriate updates as needed.

  2. The California Compliance Law also requires pharmaceutical companies to set an annual aggregate limit on certain promotional expenditures provided to a medical or healthcare professional and defined under the statute. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of the California Compliance Law, CSL Seqirus has established a specific annual aggregate dollar limit of $2,000 USD on gifts, promotional materials or items or activities that CSL Seqirus may give or otherwise provide to an individual medical or healthcare professional in California. This limit represents a spending cap; it is not a goal and average, customary or a typical amount. CSL Seqirus has established internal monitoring mechanisms designed to help ensure compliance with our established annual spending limit in California.

    The annual limit does not include:
  • Payments for legitimate professional services and any meals or expenses associated with the provision of such services.
  • Patient educational materials provided to patients by their physician with the purpose of educating the patient or enhancing the patient's understanding or management of the condition.

3. The California Compliance Law requires pharmaceutical companies interacting with medical or healthcare professionals in California to make an annual written declaration that they comply  with their own compliance program and the California Compliance Law. CSL Seqirus declares that it complies with its compliance program and the California Compliance Law.

CSL Seqirus has a compliance program tailored to meet the specific needs of the company. Internal monitoring mechanisms have been implemented which are designed to measure compliance with the spending limits as set by the company for California medical and healthcare professionals.

This declaration is not intended and should not be construed to imply that CSL Seqirus can prevent individual employees from engaging in conduct that would be considered improper.
