The sale of Integrative Therapeutics products to other healthcare professionals or businesses is not permitted.

Internet Reseller Regulations
As of January 1st, 2012 Integrative Therapeutics has unilaterally adopted Internet Reseller Regulations (Internet Regulations), which shall apply to all U.S. internet resellers, (collectively, “Resellers”) who resell Integrative products to end users via the Internet. Integrative is adopting these Internet Regulations to help preserve its standard for providing licensed healthcare professionals with high quality products and sales and technical support (the “Integrative Standard”). One aspect of meeting the Integrative Standard is to sell such products online at or above the suggested retail prices. Any advertisements, discounts, rewards programs, coupons, special offers, sales, promotions, etc. must be directly targeted to “opted-in” patients, who have access to consultation services offered by a healthcare professional.This Internet Policy does not apply to Resellers who sell Integrative products via a web page that is protected by customer account logins or passwords. For example, private patients being treated by the healthcare professional may be given a private patient code to be entered upon checkout to replicate the discount provided to patients in the healthcare professional’s office. This code must not be provided to any customer via broadcast email, must not be shown on the website and must not be made available to anyone other than the healthcare professional’s private patients. Reference upon checkout may only be as “patient code” or similar language; i.e. any word implying a discount, special, sale, coupon, etc. may not be used.
Integrative reserves the right not to sell or supply any products to any Reseller that is affiliated with a website that violates these Internet Regulations. Any Reseller reference or inference at all to discounts, price reductions, special call-in pricing, coupons, and price matching policies or any other special promotion or offer on Integrative’s products will be deemed to be violations of this policy and grounds for immediate suspension of affiliated Reseller's account(s). Enforcement of this policy will carry forward through any authorized distributor or wholesaler of Integrative products.
Sale of Integrative’s products through Amazon.com requires formal authorization by Integrative. Integrative reserves the right to not sell or supply any products to any Reseller that does not meet the Integrative Standard. Sale of Integrative's products through eBay is strictly prohibited.
Violations of Internet Reseller Policy
If Integrative determines, to its sole satisfaction, that a Reseller has taken any action that does not preserve the Integrative Standard, the Reseller will receive 24 hour advance written notice from Integrative that they are in violation of the Internet Regulations and therefore will no longer be able to purchase the products after the end of the 24 hour notice period. After the notice period, Reseller will no longer be able to purchase the Products and Reseller will no longer be authorized to use the Trademarks on Reseller's website or in any other manner on the Internet. After the notice period, Reseller will be required to immediately cease all use of the Trademarks on Reseller's website or in any other manner on the Internet. Resellers that correct their website to bring it into compliance with these Internet Regulations should promptly notify Integrative. Integrative will then review Reseller's website. If Integrative determines Reseller has brought his or her site into compliance with these Internet Regulations, Reseller's account will be reactivated so Reseller may purchase the products and use the Trademarks on Reseller's website in accordance with these Internet Regulations. The reseller acknowledges that upon any subsequent breach of any provision of this Agreement, Integrative may terminate Reseller's account without notice.Use of Trademarks and Logos
The reseller agrees to follow the appropriate use of trademarks and logos as outlined in our Terms & Conditions. Integrative may review the Reseller's website at any time and reserves the right to require Reseller to make changes to it based upon use of any intellectual property owned or controlled by Integrative, even if Integrative has previously approved or accepted Reseller's website or the material displayed thereon.Enforcement
Integrative may modify or discontinue this policy, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time. Integrative may also terminate Reseller's non-exclusive, limited license to use the Trademarks at any time in its sole discretion upon written notice. Any failure or delay by Integrative in enforcing any provisions of this Policy shall in no way be considered a waiver of such provisions or rights and shall in no way prevent Integrative from enforcing the same at a later date. Customers failing to comply with any terms & conditions found within this policy will face immediate termination of the customer’s account.No Integrative representative or employee has authority to modify or alter this Policy. Any comments to the contrary by an Integrative representative are expressly unauthorized and disclaimed by Integrative. Any action taken by Integrative under this policy shall be without liability to Integrative.
