The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall supersede all previous agreements, loyalty program rules and/or terms and conditions. The terms contained herein may be modified by Pierre Fabre from time to time and at any time.

2. Description of the Program. The Program is an incentive program which offers certain rewards such as Partnership Materials, off-invoice discounts, free retail product, discounted staff product, and education on Pierre Fabre products. Registered users of the Program may earn rewards ("Reward Items") by engaging in certain activities with Pierre Fabre as will be set forth from time to time by Pierre Fabre. The current Reward Items offered are described in Schedule A. Reward Items accrued in the Program are non-transferrable to other users or accounts and have no cash or monetary value and are not bankable to be used at a later time. The Program may be changed from time to time at the sole discretion of Pierre Fabre. Any change to the Program or these Terms and Conditions will be posted on Pierre Fabre’s Website referenced herein, so Participant is encouraged to visit the site often.
3. Program Eligibility. The Program is open only to eligible accounts within the 50 United States, Puerto Rico and District of Columbia and who not are currently participating in any other discount program offered by Pierre Fabre, at the sole discretion of Pierre Fabre. Participants must have a medical license on record for the account in their state and a W-9 to participate in the Program. Distributors and Internet retailers are specifically excluded from participation in the program. The Program is void where prohibited by law. Partners must register in order to participate in the program. Accounts can register and accept program terms and conditions through their local Pierre Fabre Territory Manager, at http://www.glytone.com/physicians/account/login or http://www.aveneusa.com/physicians/account/login or by calling 1-888-459-8663.
An account is defined as a "Bill To" owner who is the financial party responsible, as designated on the Pierre Fabre account record, for purchases shipped to any physical location (Ship to) where the business operates. Multiple "Ship To" addresses may fall under a single "Bill To" account. All Reward Items earned and member levels achieved in the Program aggregate under one "Bill To" account.
The Program is comprised of five levels based on the annual revenue of each Participant account. It begins at Level 1 with an annual revenue minimum and increases to Level 5 based upon specific annual revenue criteria. Member levels are determined at the beginning of each year, based on prior year's sales. The sales for the account accumulated as of December 31, 2015 determines the member level for the following year (i.e. 2016). Member levels are guaranteed for the entire year. If the account meets the threshold for the higher level mid-year but is unable to maintain that level by the end of the year, the account will reset to the appropriate level within the program at the end of the calendar year. Member Level Upgrades are available as an ongoing feature of the Program. There are 3 different upgrade levels:
i. Monthly Upgrade:
At any time during the calendar year period when account sales meet the next higher member level, the account will be upgraded at the end of the month based on the qualifying purchase within that month. The member level upgrade will remain in effect until the end of the year or until the account attains the next higher member level.
ii. Mid-Year Upgrade:
At the close of mid-year sales (June 30, 2016), there is an opportunity for accounts to receive a mid-year upgrade to the higher member level. If the account's sales are 50% or greater of the next highest member level by mid-year, they will receive a courtesy upgrade to the next higher member level for the remainder of the year.
iii. Member Level Reset:
If the account meets the threshold for the higher level mid-year upgrade but is unable to maintain that level by the end of the year, the account will reset to the appropriate level within the program at the end of the calendar year.
