Projected Revisions to Delivery Schedule and Effect on
Current Customers:
Pharmacology Weekly plans to revise its delivery schedule
of the Pharmacotherapy, Drug Interactions, and Natural Medicines newsletters to
a monthly, rather than weekly, basis, beginning on or about January 1,
2010. Accordingly, the following
section describes the effect such revised delivery schedule will have on existing
Customers of Pharmacology Weekly:
For Customers who subscribed to any of the
Pharmacology Weekly newsletters prior to 08/01/2009:
In order to honor the subscriptions purchased by Customers prior to August 1, 2009 (the date on which this Individual Customer Agreement and the Pharmacology Weekly website were revised to reflect this upcoming change), such prior Customers’ subscriptions will be extended so as to deliver the total number of newsletter issues originally purchased. Accounts will be automatically adjusted on or about January 1, 2010 to reflect the additional time for such Customer to receive the remaining newsletters. This will be based on the remaining number of newsletters to be received in relation to the date of purchase, had such newsletters continued to be delivered on a weekly, rather than monthly, basis. Should any Customer not be satisfied with this adjustment, pro-rated refunds will be provided upon written request to Pharmacology Weekly. No newsletters will be released the last 2 weeks of each calender year, unless deemed necessary.
For Customers subscribing to the Pharmacology Weekly newsletters on or after 08/01/2009:
Beginning on August 1, 2009, the purchase of one or more of the newsletter subscriptions by a Customer will entitle the Customer to receive the e-newsletters as such newsletters are released for a period of one year, but no less frequently than once per month. Because Pharmacology Weekly is planning to change the delivery schedule of the Pharmacotherapy, Drug Interactions, and Natural Medicines newsletters to a monthly, rather than weekly, basis, and because Pharmacology Weekly has now revised this Agreement and its website to adequately inform new Customers of such plans, new subscriptions shall not be adjusted once Pharmacology Weekly changes its delivery schedule to a monthly schedule. However, in the meantime, so long as the newsletters continue to be released on a weekly basis (which is expected to last until on or about January 1, 2010), such Customers subscribing on or after 08/01/2009 will continue to receive such newsletters on a weekly basis. No newsletters will be released the last 2 weeks of each calender year, unless deemed necessary.
Possible Additional Newsletters:
Pharmacology Weekly may also choose to provide on its web site, but is not
obligated to provide, additional newsletters at various times in the future.
The terms for subscribing to such newsletters shall be set forth on the web
site at such time, and shall be subject to this Agreement, without a need for
amending this Agreement to specifically refer to such newsletters.
Possible Additional Active Subscriber Benefits:
Pharmacology Weekly may also provide, but is not obligated to provide, the
following additional benefits to active subscribers (i) access to certain
archived newsletters available online for the newsletter subscription(s) to
which the Customer has purchased access, (ii) access to certain MP3 audio files
for only those newsletters for which the Customer has purchased a subscription,
(iii) the ability to purchase additional subscriptions through membership login
under a particular Customer's account if needed in the future, (iv) the ability
to purchase additional forms of accreditation for continuing medical education,
and (v) the ability to receive a rewards or membership identification number
that may be used in making referrals to friends or colleagues, as further
described below.
Referral Benefits Policy:
When a referral is made by an existing Customer, and the new subscriber
appropriately places the referring Customer's identification number in the
indicated space during account set up, the referring Customer will then
automatically receive a one month extension on their subscription (provided
such new subscriber's credit card issuer, bank, or other third-party payor does
not reject the payment or request return of such payments, such payments are
authorized and not fraudulently-obtained, and such new subscriber does not
otherwise receive a refund of the charges). Referrals may accumulate up
to a maximum extension of 3 years (36 months) at any one time, before
expiration for any one Customer, after which time additional referrals will not
count for extensions on the Customer's expiration date. Should the Customer
choose to refer friends or colleagues to Pharmacology Weekly pursuant to these
terms, the Customer and Pharmacology Weekly agree that the Customer is in no
way an agent, representative, or employee of Pharmacology Weekly, and
Pharmacology Weekly shall not be liable for any actions or representations made
by the Customer. The Customer affirmatively agrees not to misrepresent
Pharmacology Weekly in any way when making any referrals to purchase the
Products and Services of Pharmacology Weekly, and THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO
DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS PHARMACOLOGY WEEKLY IN ANY ACTION OR CLAIM
RELATED TO SUCH A MISREPRESENTATION BY THE CUSTOMER. The Customer shall not use
the official logo or trademark of Pharmacology Weekly in any capacity without
the written approval of the President of Pharmacology Weekly.
Should Pharmacology Weekly at any time have reason to believe such Customer has
misrepresented Pharmacology Weekly, as determined in Pharmacology Weekly's sole
and absolute discretion, Pharmacology Weekly shall have the right (in addition
to and without limiting any other rights described in this Agreement) to revoke
the Customer's right, if any, to continue receiving newsletters pursuant to
this referral program. Furthermore, Pharmacology Weekly reserves the right to
change this referral program and these policies at any time, and should
Pharmacology Weekly at any time cease publishing newsletters of the type being
subscribed to by the Customer, Pharmacology Weekly shall have no obligation to
provide a refund or payment in exchange for such months earned by referrals,
nor an obligation to continue providing such newsletters for any months earned
by a Customer pursuant to this referral policy. The referral rewards provided
for pursuant to this section shall not entitle an Organization (as that term is
defined in the "Fundraiser
Organization Agreement") to any additional compensation, but are
simply referral rewards for the benefit of the individual Customer.
Continuing Medical Education:
The Customer will have the opportunity to complete and receive credit for
online continuing education ("CE") under the following circumstances:
(a) If the Customer purchased his or her subscription(s) prior to August 1, 2009, then one of the following must be true
(i) the Customer purchased at least one (1), but less than four (4), of the newsletter subscriptions and paid the additional fee(s) required on the Pharmacology Weekly website for CE credit for each specific newsletter subscribed to by the Customer for which the Customer desires to receive CE credit; or
(ii) if, at the time the Customer first subscribed to any of the Pharmacology Weekly newsletters, the Customer chose to purchase subscriptions to all four of the newsletters, in which case the Customer will automatically receive the option of completing and receiving credit for all available online CE offered by Pharmacology Weekly for all four newsletter subscriptions without any additional cost above the purchase of the four newsletter subscriptions.
(b) If the Customer purchased his or her subscription(s) on or after August 1, 2009, he or she will automatically receive the option of completing and receiving credit for all available online CE offered by Pharmacology Weekly for the newsletter subscriptions purchased without any additional cost.
The online CE is only available through the internet, and
paper or written CE is not available. Customers will be required to log
into their account through Pharmacology Weekly's website to verify the
Customer's status when requesting access to and credit for CE.
Customers who have purchased the right to complete and receive credit for
online CE as described above will have the ability to complete and receive such
online CE credit through Pharmacology Weekly's password-protected website for
at least 12 months from the initial date of subscription to the applicable
newsletter. In order to receive CE credit, the Customer must (1) read the
applicable newsletters; and (2) accurately answer a pre-determined set of
questions relating to the content of the newsletters. It is the
responsibility of each Customer to pass each CE test in order to receive
credit, and Pharmacology Weekly does not guarantee that the Customer will
receive the maximum available hours of CE for each newsletter to which the
Customer subscribes. Customers are required to then redeem their
certificates prior to their account expiration date or to renew their
subscriptions prior to expiration, or they may lose credit for those
hours.
Pharmacology Weekly is subject to the standards and criteria set out by the
approving accreditation agency or agencies for Pharmacology Weekly.
Currently, Pharmacology Weekly is accredited by the American Academy of
Continuing Medical Education (AACME) to provide continuing medical education
for physicians. In our attempt to remain compliant with these standards,
Pharmacology Weekly reserves the right to make any changes to the online CE
process. If for any reason Pharmacology Weekly should lose any of the
accreditation options for providing CE credit, a notification will be posted to
the Pharmacology Weekly website providing the updated information to current
Customers. The total number
of hours of CE that a Customer can obtain is based on the number of issues
released while such Customer has a subscription with Pharmacology Weekly. There will always be a minimum of 3
hours but no more than 13 hours of CE provided by each newsletter
subscription. For Customers
who purchased their subscriptions prior to 08/01/2009 and met the
above-described criteria for receiving CE, their accounts will be adjusted to
be eligible to receive the total number of CE credits to correspond with the
total newsletters to be made available to such Customers, as further described
above, based on their date of original purchase.
Customers shall not share their online access with anyone else and shall not
allow others to misrepresent the Customer by taking the online CE for
them. Customers also shall not share the answers to the online CE tests
with anyone as this material is not only copyrighted, but is also intended to
test the knowledge of each specific paying Customer alone.
Upon redeeming the accumulated online CE through the website creation of an
Adobe file certificate, the Customer shall not have the right to edit the
certificate or attempt to change the content represented by Pharmacology Weekly's
website in the process of providing a certificate for CE. Failure to
comply with the above requirements for obtaining CE or any activity that should
be deemed by Pharmacology Weekly, in its sole discretion, as compromising the
integrity of this secured online CE process could result in the immediate
termination of the Customer's account without written or verbal notification by
Pharmacology Weekly. If deemed appropriate by Pharmacology Weekly,
additional legal action may be taken if a Customer or other person violates any
of the above terms and conditions.
