6. ANTITRUST POLICY.  To ensure that 340B Health and participants in the community comply with federal and state antitrust laws, users must comply with this antitrust policy as a condition of using this Website, its discussion boards, interactive features, content, and other services. Antitrust laws recognize that participation in the disclosure or exchange of certain competitively sensitive information among healthcare providers can further beneficial competition and patient welfare. However, the dissemination and exchange of certain information may raise anti-competitive concerns and also may have the effect of encouraging collusion or group boycotts resulting in anticompetitive effects and potentially in violations of the antitrust laws.  Users will exchange different types of information through the Website just as they do during general meetings of 340B Health, and thus they must avoid the disclosure or exchange of certain types of information through the community.
   
   Generally, antitrust laws prohibit understandings or agreements among sellers and among purchasers that lessen competition.  Thus, users cannot reach understandings, make agreements, or otherwise concur on positions or activities that in any way might tend to raise, lower, or stabilize the prices they charge for their products or services or the prices they pay for products or services they purchase.  Most importantly, users should not disclose or exchange the prices they charge or pay for products or services through the community. Users can discuss historical pricing activities, so long as such information is general in nature and does not include data on current or future prices, fees being charged or paid, or other terms and conditions of sale that may lead to agreement on what to charge or pay or constitutes a reasonable, fair, or appropriate price or fee to charge or pay for any service or product. An unlawful price-fixing violation may be inferred from price-related discussions or exchanges of specific pricing information followed by parallel decisions on pricing by users—even in the absence of an oral or written agreement.
   
   The antitrust laws prohibit most types of agreements or understandings among sellers or purchasers not to compete. Thus, antitrust laws prohibit most types of agreements by which sellers or buyers reach an understanding or agreement regarding the geographical areas in which they will operate, the products or services they will sell or buy, or the types of customers or vendors with which they will deal.  Therefore, users may not discuss or exchange information about the division of territories, products, or customers through the community. Moreover, users  may not discuss whether or not to sell to or buy from particular customers or vendors.  Users may discuss their specific experiences with particular customers or vendors, but should not indicate their future relationships with them and should not make recommendations through the community about actions that other users should take toward them.
   
   Users must, and by participating in the 340B Health community, agree to abide by the following policies to ensure compliance with antitrust laws:
   

   • Users shall not provide an exact price for a given product or service that they sell or purchase, including a percentage saving. Users are allowed to informally survey whether or not other user are receiving statutorily mandated 340B prices, whether through wholesalers, specialty distributors, or manufacturers, but users may not attempt to conduct formal or informal surveys regarding voluntary sub-ceiling pricing for 340B products, non-340B pricing for drugs, or pricing for any other product or service.
   • Users shall not share or discuss contract terms related to pricing or payment issues (e.g., different types of fee arrangements). Users may discuss contract terms wholly unrelated to remuneration or financial benefit. For example, users may discuss contract terms concerning 340B compliance, such as a provision addressing a vendor’s role in assisting a hospital with regular self-audits.
   • Users shall not  use language tending to encourage or invite an understanding or agreement to act in a particular way. This includes suggestions that users should/should not engage in negotiations with a particular entity, or communications about taking a hardline stance with respect to a certain manufacturer, wholesaler, specialty distributor, payer, pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), pharmacy, vendor, or any other company.
   • Users shall not recommend, or seek the endorsement or approval of members, corporate partners, 340B Health staff, volunteers, elected officers, or 340B Health generally, with respect to a negotiating tactic, target price, or other communication relating to sub-ceiling pricing for 340B products, non-340B pricing for drugs, or pricing for any other product or service.
   • Users may make suggestions for 340B Health to intervene in or take action on a matter so long as it pertains to regulatory 340B ceiling prices or non-price related activities. For example, it is perfectly acceptable for users to ask 340B Health to investigate and serve as an advocate in situations where it appears that a manufacturer is not selling its covered outpatient drugs at 340B prices in violation of federal law.
   • Users agree that 340B Health is the sole moderator of discussion boards and forums and other content and interactive features, and as such, retains the right to modify, redact, or remove any question, communication, or answer that is in violation of these antitrust policies.

7. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE.
   
   7.1 Disclosure under Law.
   
   340B Health reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, including personally identifiable information, or to edit, refuse to allow or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in Organization’s sole discretion.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ARBITRATION CLAUSE)
    
    14.1  Binding Arbitration.  You and Organization each agree to submit to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof (including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate), your or Organization’s rights and obligations under these Terms, the Website, the use of the Website, and/or the information, services and/or products that may be provided by or through or in connection with the Website. The arbitration will be held in Washington, DC before one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a dispute as a class action. You also expressly waive your right to a jury trial. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com). You may obtain a copy of the rules of JAMS by contacting the organization. You and Organization shall agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the JAMS rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Organization’s intellectual property rights, Organization may seek (and you will not contest) injunctive or other appropriate relief in any local or federal court in Washington, DC and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
    
    14.2 Arbitration Final.  The arbitrator's award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state law concerning arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. If any part of this clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is not enforceable as to any person or persons, such non-enforceability shall apply to such person or persons only, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause.
    
    14.3 Giving Up Right of Class Action.  These Terms provide that all Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court or by jury trial. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST ORGANIZATION ENTITIES INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN ANY STATE STATUTE.

15. CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
    
    To the maximum extent permitted by law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, excluding any law or conflicts of law principle that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. To the extent a Dispute is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or federal courts in Washington, DC in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Website or under these Terms; provided, however, that in the event Organization is sued or joined by a third party in any other court or in any other forum in respect of any matter which may give rise to a claim by Organization hereunder, you consent to the jurisdiction of such court or forum over any claim which may be asserted by Organization therein. You irrevocably consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by such courts in any such action. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, you irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that you may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon you and may be enforced in any court in which you are subject to a jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment. Use of the Website is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including without limitation this paragraph. To the extent a claim is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, Organization and you each hereby waive the right to a trial by jury in any court and in any suit, action or proceeding, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, in which any such party is a party, as to any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your or Organization’s rights and obligations under these Terms, the Website, use of Website, and/or the services and/or products that may be provided by or through or in connection with the Website.
