Last update: 09 March 2021

Where a DXRX Member (or ‘you’ as referred to hereunder) requests for any consulting and/or other professional services (“Professional Services”) from Diaceutics, and Diaceutics is able to provide such Services, the relevant parties shall enter into an Order Form, containing the agreed scope of Professional Services and Deliverables, pursuant to the Professional Services terms and conditions set out hereunder (“Terms”).

These Terms are a set of additional Service-Specific Terms as defined under the DXRX Terms, and together with the DXRX Terms and Related Terms constitute the “Agreement”. Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the DXRX Terms.

These Terms shall be effective as of the date indicated in the relevant Order Form until terminated in accordance with the provisions hereunder.

1. Diaceutics’ Responsibilities

1.1 Diaceutics shall:

1. use reasonable efforts to provide the Professional Services and deliver the Deliverables to you as set out in an Order Form in all material respects;
2. use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates or milestones specified in an Order Form but unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, any such dates shall be estimates only and time for performance shall not be of the essence;
3. observe any DXRX Member’s policies and/or requirements relating to healthcare professionals, pharmacovigilance, adverse events reporting, health and safety and security requirements to the extent they are applicable to the Professional Services being provided and have been communicated in advance to Diaceutics in writing; and
4. appoint a project manager in respect of the Professional Services to be performed under each Order Form and such person shall be identified in the Order Form.

1.2 Acceptance criteria: Each of the Deliverables listed in an Order Form must be reviewed and accepted by DXRX Member, who will review and respond to each Deliverable within seven (7) calendar days of receipt with either an approval or rejection (with one or more fix requests). If no response is received from DXRX Member after seven (7) calendar days, the relevant Deliverable shall be deemed accepted by DXRX Member. In the event where there is a rejection in respect of a submitted Deliverable, DXRX Member shall provide Diaceutics with clear feedback and Diaceutics will re-submit such Deliverable within five (5) calendar days (or in an alternative mutually agreed timeframe).

3. obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all relevant legislation as required to enable Diaceutics to provide the Professional Services, including the use of all DXRX Member Materials as such licenses, consents and legislation related to DXRX Member’s business, premises, staff and equipment, in all cases before the date on which the Professional Services are to start; and
4.  comply with any additional responsibilities as set out in the relevant Order Form.

2.2 If Diaceutics’ performance of its obligations under these Terms is prevented or delayed by your act or omission or that of your agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, Diaceutics shall be allowed an extension of time to perform its obligations at least equal to the delay caused by you.
