Dispute resolution is addressed by requiring that all disputes arising under the agreement be subjected to good faith negotiations between the parties before any legal proceedings. The agreement incorporates provisions from the Alternative Dispute Resolution Law, emphasizing amicable settlement of disputes. Additionally, it specifies that any legal suits should be filed exclusively in the courts of the Province of Nueva Vizcaya, which is aimed at centralizing and containing legal actions related to the agreement .

The Consignee must pay for products within thirty working days from receiving the Sales Invoice. Prices are determined based on the Consignor's prevailing price list, and the Consignor must ensure prices align with the latest Drug Price Reference Index. Price increases take effect thirty working days after written notice, and the Consignee can choose to buy unwithdrawn stocks at current prices before the change. These terms ensure transparency and availability for financial planning .

The delivery of products is documented through stock delivery receipts signed by both parties, accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis matching the batch/lot numbers for billing purposes. The Consignee has the right to inspect products upon arrival to ensure they meet specifications before accepting them. Products with less than twelve months until expiration must be returned immediately. Random sampling for testing may be conducted by the FDA, necessitating match by the Consignor without charge. This process underscores the agreement's emphasis on quality control and documentation to safeguard against non-conforming products and impacts both inventory turnover and compliance .

The consignment agreement ensures compliance by requiring that all consigned products meet standards set by relevant laws like the Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009 and the Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002. The Consignor warrants that no products are adulterated or misbranded and commits to providing Certificates of Analysis for batches, ensuring traceability and quality control. Random FDA inspections further ensure compliance, as does the provision for replacing non-compliant products without cost to the government, reflecting stringent adherence to regulatory standards .

Inventory accuracy and transparency are facilitated through requirements for maintaining stock records, monthly stock reports, and periodic physical inspections. The Consignee must keep stock cards showing clearly the products received, stored, sold, or consumed, which are open for review by the Consignor. Furthermore, both parties conduct monthly inspections to verify inventory levels, document with a Count Sheet, and synchronize records to ensure accountability and transparency. Regular sales reports enable timely invoicing and restocking, creating a structured approach to inventory management .

If consigned items have an expiration date of less than twelve months at the time of delivery, they must be returned to the Consignor for replacement. Furthermore, if there is no movement of the stocks for three months or an equivalent period, this may result in the termination of the agreement or a breach of the terms. The Consignor is responsible for removing consigned medicines three months before they expire, highlighting the importance of inventory movement within the contractual terms .

Upon termination, the Consignor's representative must conduct a final inventory count. The Consignee must cooperate in enabling the Consignor to withdraw unsold products. The Consignee has the option within thirty working days to either return all unwithdrawn stocks or purchase them. Both parties agree that neither will be liable for any loss of prospective profits or costs associated with the termination, preventing claims related to business or goodwill investments made under the agreement .

The Consignee is fully responsible for the storage, safety, and security of the products delivered by the Consignor. They must provide a dedicated storage space and designate a staff member responsible for the inventory's safety, security, and management. Furthermore, they are required to follow the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) System of Inventory management. The Consignee must also maintain stock records and make them available for the Consignor's review. Any losses or damage due to improper storage or negligence fall on the Consignee .

Either party may terminate the agreement at any time, for any reason, by providing at least thirty working days' written notice to the other party. This clause allows flexibility for the parties to exit the agreement without needing justification, while also ensuring a clear notice period to mitigate abrupt terminations and provide time to manage contractual and operational adjustments related to the termination .

The agreement includes strict anti-bribery provisions, prohibiting payments or offers for any commission, success fee, bribe, pay-off, or kickback related to the agreement or any collateral agreement. Violation of these provisions is considered a material breach, which grants either party the right to cancel the agreement immediately. This establishes a clear deterrent against unethical practices, promoting transparency and fairness in contractual dealings .
