The parties agree that failure to comply with Dermafirmusa training is presumptively negligent.

5. Retail Product Selection.Β Account will ensure that its Location stocks and offers for sale, at a minimum, all core mandatory lines of Retail Products. Account will also ensure that its Location stocks and uses a reasonable number of tester products to promote trial. Finally, Account will ensure that its Location stocks, and prominently displays in a professional fashion, brochures for all Retail Products stocked by Account.

6. Menu.Β Account will ensure that its Location posts a prominent menu that lists the description and cost of each professional skin treatment service offered to its customers.

7. Product Returns.Β Dermafirmusa provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee for its Retail Products. If one of Account’s customers has a complaint about any Retail Product, the customer will be permitted to return any unused portion of the Retail Product for an exchange. Dermafirmusa will provide Account with replacement Retail Products returned in accordance with Dermafirmusa’s return policy. In order to process returns, Account will contact Dermafirmusa’s customer service department. Dermafirmusa will not accept returns for Professional Product.

Account will cooperate fully with any subsequent investigation or follow-up.

Account will retain Product packaging, remaining Product, and related records (including client intake forms and consent forms, where lawful to retain) for any reported event for a period of not less than three (3) years, or as Dermafirmusa otherwise instructs.

Part D β€” Product

9. Product Changes.Β Dermafirmusa reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change its products, formulations, packaging, and labeling without liability to Account or Account’s customers.

10. New Products.Β In the event that Dermafirmusa introduces new brand products during the Term, Dermafirmusa may give notice of such new products to Account. The parties agree that notice under this Section 10 will serve to amend this Agreement to include these new products. If new products require training, Dermafirmusa will notify Account to go through appropriate training courses.

Part E β€” Terms of Sale

11. Opening Order.Β Concurrently with Account’s electronic acceptance of this Agreement and approval of the Application by Dermafirmusa, Account will submit an opening order sufficient to provide its Location with the minimum requirements of Retail and Professional Products.

11A. Maintenance Minimum.Β To maintain professional account status and continued access to Professional Products and professional pricing, Account will purchase a minimum aggregate dollar amount of Products in each calendar year, as set forth in the then-current Account Program Schedule provided to Account separately. If Account fails to meet the annual minimum, Dermafirmusa may, at its sole discretion, (i) issue a written notice and grant a sixty (60) day cure period, (ii) downgrade Account to a lower pricing tier, (iii) suspend Account’s ability to purchase Professional Products, or (iv) terminate this Agreement for cause under Section 27.

12. Orders.Β Account will submit orders through Dermafirmusa’s purchase order system, using the forms and procedures in effect at the time the order is submitted.

No terms or conditions accompanying any order that are inconsistent with this Agreement will apply, notwithstanding Dermafirmusa’s acceptance of the order. Account will purchase Products only from Dermafirmusa.

13. Pricing.Β All sales to Account will be priced according to the standard price list in effect when the order is received by Dermafirmusa. Dermafirmusa’s then-current price list, product catalog, MAP schedule, and Account Program Schedule are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are available to Account through the Dermafirmusa professional account portal. Dermafirmusa may update these documents from time to time consistent with Section 19.

14. Delivery.Β All orders will be delivered solely to the Location, which is the commercial establishment where Account offers for sale goods and services. All deliveries are subject to the freight and shipping terms in effect when an order is received by Dermafirmusa.

15. Terms.Β Provided that Account is in good standing after the opening order, future orders may be made by credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) or C.O.D. with company checks. Dermafirmusa will not extend credit to Account, except as approved by Dermafirmusa in its sole discretion.

16. Retail Products.Β Account will re-sell Retail Products only within the geographic location authorized by Dermafirmusa and only to consumers for ultimate consumption through personal use. Except in the case where Account provides Dermafirmusa with a valid Resale Tax Certificate, Retail Product orders will be charged applicable sales tax.

16A. Tax Compliance and Resale Certificates.Β Account is solely responsible for collecting, reporting, and remitting all federal, state, and local sales, use, excise, and other transactional taxes arising from its resale of Retail Products and use of Professional Products. Account will furnish Dermafirmusa with a valid resale certificate or exemption certificate where applicable and will promptly update Dermafirmusa upon any change in the certificate’s validity. Account is responsible for any tax nexus or registration obligations created by its business activities and will indemnify Dermafirmusa for any taxes, penalties, or interest assessed against Dermafirmusa as a result of Account’s failure to comply with this Section.

16B. Territory.Β Account is authorized to sell Retail Products and provide professional services using Professional Products only from the Location identified in the Application. This Agreement is non-exclusive; Dermafirmusa may appoint other accounts in any geographic area, including in proximity to the Location, in Dermafirmusa’s sole discretion. Account is not granted any exclusive territory, right of first refusal, or radius protection unless expressly set forth in a written addendum issued by an authorized officer of Dermafirmusa.

17. Professional Products.Β Professional Products will be used or applied only by properly trained PSTs. Account will not resell Professional Products. All Professional Product orders will be charged applicable sales tax.

18. Sales Channel Restrictions.Β Account will not sell, transfer, ship, or otherwise move any Products to any location other than the Location identified in the Application, including other locations under Account’s ownership or control. Account will not sell any Products to any distributor, reseller, exporter, wholesaler, drop-shipper, third-party logistics provider acting in a reseller capacity, website operator, or retailer.

Without limiting the foregoing, Account expressly will not, directly or indirectly:

(a)Β list, offer, advertise, or sell Products on Amazon, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, Costco, TikTok Shop, Instagram Shop, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, Mercari, Poshmark, Shein, Temu, or any similar online marketplace, auction site, or consignment platform;

(b)Β list, offer, advertise, or sell Products through any e-commerce website, mobile application, social commerce feature, or other internet facility, except on Account’s own primary business website serving Account’s own client base and only when explicitly authorized by Dermafirmusa in writing and in advance;

(c)Β provide Products to any third party for the purpose of resale, including but not limited to dropshipping arrangements, third-party fulfillment programs, affiliate sale arrangements, or buy/sell influencer programs;

(d)Β export, ship, or arrange for the shipment of Products outside the United States; or

(e)Β permit any third party to use Account’s professional pricing or account credentials to purchase Products.

Dermafirmusa reserves the unconditional right to regulate, restrict, or prohibit any sale of Products by Account via the Internet at any time. Account will ensure that its employees, agents, contractors, and any affiliated entities abide by the obligations of this Section. Each violation of this Section is a material breach for which Dermafirmusa may immediately terminate this Agreement under Section 27 and pursue any remedies available under Section 18A.

18A. Anti-Diversion, Authenticity, and Audit.Β Account warrants that all Products held in inventory at the Location are authentic Dermafirm-branded Products purchased directly from Dermafirmusa. Account will not commingle Products with grey-market goods, parallel imports, counterfeit goods, or any goods not purchased directly from Dermafirmusa. Account will retain its purchase records and packing slips for a period of not less than three (3) years and will produce them upon Dermafirmusa’s reasonable request.

Dermafirmusa, or its designated representative, may conduct on-site inventory audits at the Location during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice (not less than seventy-two (72) hours, except where Dermafirmusa has reasonable cause to suspect diversion or counterfeit activity, in which case no notice is required). Account will cooperate with such audits, including providing access to inventory, batch and lot numbers, sales records related to Products, and the names of any third parties that have inspected or handled Products.

In the event that an audit or other investigation reveals Products being sold or transferred in violation of Sections 16, 17, or 18, Account agrees to pay Dermafirmusa liquidated damages of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) per unit of diverted Product, in addition to any other remedies available to Dermafirmusa under this Agreement or applicable law. The parties acknowledge that actual damages from diversion are difficult to calculate, that this amount represents a good-faith estimate of those damages, and that this provision is not a penalty.

19. Changes to Terms.Β Dermafirmusa reserves the right to change the terms of sale, including pricing, upon thirty (30) days’ notice. Notice may be provided by email to the address Account provided in the Application, by posting to the professional account portal, or by other electronic means reasonably designed to reach Account.

19A. Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy.Β Account acknowledges that Dermafirmusa maintains a Minimum Advertised Price (β€œMAP”) policy for Retail Products. The current MAP schedule will be provided to Account separately and may be updated by Dermafirmusa upon thirty (30) days’ written notice. Account agrees that it will not advertise, promote, or list any Retail Product at a price below the then-current MAP for that Retail Product. For purposes of this Section, β€œadvertise” includes, without limitation, prices shown on Account’s website, social media accounts, printed materials, email marketing, in-store displays, third-party listings (where permitted in writing), and any other communication accessible to the public.

The MAP policy applies to advertised prices only. Account remains free to set its own actual selling price at the point of sale. Account may, however, advertise general phrases such as β€œCall for pricing,” β€œAdd to cart for price,” or β€œSpecial pricing available in-store” without violating this Section.

Violations of the MAP policy are grounds for Dermafirmusa, at its sole discretion, to: (i) issue a written warning; (ii) suspend Account’s ability to place new orders; (iii) revoke professional pricing; (iv) terminate this Agreement for cause under Section 27; and/or (v) decline to ship Products on pending orders. Dermafirmusa reserves the right to enforce this policy unilaterally and is under no obligation to enforce it uniformly across all accounts.

20. Sales by Dermafirmusa.Β Dermafirmusa reserves the right to sell Products to other accounts and directly to consumers.

Part F β€” Dermafirmusa Intellectual Property

21. Definition.Β β€œDermafirmusa Intellectual Property” includes (i) the Labo De Dermafirm and Dermafirmusa trademarks and the other trademarks, service marks, trade names, words, designs, graphics, three-dimensional objects, symbols, logos, slogans, domain names, URLs, and other identifications of Dermafirmusa and the Products; and (ii) Dermafirmusa’s websites, training videos, training manuals, other instructional materials, and other written, audio, or video materials produced or owned by Dermafirmusa.

24. Protection of Confidential Information.Β Except as expressly permitted in this Section, Account will not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties. Account may disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees who (i) have a legitimate need to know, and (ii) are bound by written confidentiality obligations no less protective than those in this Agreement. To the extent reasonably necessary, Account may disclose Confidential Information to its accountants or attorneys, provided that these advisors are bound by professional or contractual duties of confidentiality. Account will use Confidential Information solely to perform its obligations under this Agreement and for no other purpose. Account will employ at least the same degree of care to protect Confidential Information as it employs to protect its own confidential information, and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

(b)Β was rightfully in Account’s possession without confidentiality obligation prior to disclosure by Dermafirmusa;

(c)Β was independently developed by Account without use of or reference to Confidential Information; or

(d)Β is required to be disclosed by law, court order, or governmental authority, provided Account gives Dermafirmusa prompt notice and reasonable cooperation to permit Dermafirmusa to seek a protective order.

If Dermafirmusa provides Account with any leads, referrals, marketing co-op information, or other personal data relating to consumers, Account will use such information solely to support sales and service of Products and will not use such information for any non-Dermafirm marketing, sale, or transfer to third parties. Account will implement and maintain reasonable security measures to protect such information consistent with applicable law.

Part H β€” Termination; Suspension

25. Term.Β Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Part H, this Agreement will continue on an annual basis, starting at the Start Date. No action is required from either party to effect this continuation. Upon each annual renewal, the then-current price list, MAP schedule, Account Program Schedule, and Website Policy will apply, subject to the notice provisions of Section 19. Continued ordering of Products by Account following the effective date of any such update constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

26. Termination for Convenience.Β This Agreement may be terminated by either party, without cause and solely for convenience, upon thirty (30) days’ notice.

27. Termination for Cause.Β This Agreement also may be terminated by either party for cause, upon failure by the other party to fulfill any obligation of this Agreement. In addition, Dermafirmusa may terminate this Agreement for cause in the case that Account undertakes any action or conduct that in Dermafirmusa’s opinion damages or may damage the name, reputation, or goodwill of Dermafirmusa or the Products.

28. Suspension.Β In addition to the ability to terminate this Agreement as described above, Dermafirmusa may, in the alternative and at its option, suspend its performance under this Agreement. This option will be exercised, if at all, in the sole discretion of Dermafirmusa. Suspension does not relieve Account of its responsibility to pay for Products or to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

29. Pending Orders.Β Upon termination or suspension of this Agreement, Dermafirmusa may cancel Account’s pending orders, even if they have been accepted, without penalty.

30. Post-Termination Obligations.Β Upon termination of this Agreement, Dermafirmusa may, at Dermafirmusa’s option, require Account to sell back to Dermafirmusa all good and readily salable Products, at prices not in excess of the net purchase price of such Products by Account from Dermafirmusa. Dermafirmusa will exercise this option, if at all, in its sole discretion, and restocking fees may apply. If Dermafirmusa does not exercise this option in writing within fifteen (15) days of the termination of this Agreement, Account may sell to consumers its remaining Retail Products for thirty (30) days after the date of termination, provided that all such sales are made in compliance with this Agreement. Once Account has sold all remaining Retail Products (either to Dermafirmusa or to consumers in compliance with this Agreement), or the thirty (30) days have passed, whichever is earlier, Account will:

(a)Β immediately and permanently cease all sale, promotion, and advertising of the Products;

Part I β€” Insurance and Indemnification

31. Indemnification.Β Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party and its respective officers, shareholders, and employees from and against any and all reasonable expenses, damages, claims, suits, actions, judgments, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (i) the indemnifying party’s performance or breach of this Agreement; (ii) the indemnifying party’s negligence or other tortious conduct; or (iii) the indemnifying party’s violation of applicable law. The party seeking to be indemnified, defended, and held harmless under this section must give prompt written notice of any claim to the other party.

32. Insurance.Β Each party agrees to secure and maintain the following insurance in full force and effect throughout the Term: (i) commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate for bodily injury and/or property damage (including personal injury and product liability coverage), and (ii) workers’ compensation insurance in amounts required by applicable law. Account will name Dermafirm USA, Inc. as an additional insured on its commercial general liability policy, on a primary and non-contributory basis, and will furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing the same upon Account’s acceptance of this Agreement and upon any renewal. The insurance policies will be written on an β€œoccurrence” basis and will provide for not less than thirty (30) days’ notice of any cancellation or material modification.

Dermafirmusa Warranty.Β Dermafirmusa represents and warrants that each shipment or delivery of Products that Dermafirmusa makes to Account during the Term will not, on the date that Dermafirmusa delivers the shipment or delivery to the designated common carrier, contain any article that is adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Account’s sole recourse in the event of a warranty claim pursuant to this section is reimbursement for the cost of the adulterated or misbranded Products.

35A. MoCRA and Regulatory Cooperation.Β The parties acknowledge that the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (β€œMoCRA”), imposes obligations relating to facility registration, product listing, safety substantiation, labeling, recordkeeping, and serious adverse event reporting.

(a)Β promptly forwarding to Dermafirmusa any serious adverse event report, regulatory inquiry, or consumer complaint that Account receives concerning the Products;

(b)Β retaining shipment, sale, and use records relating to the Products for not less than three (3) years, or such longer period as Dermafirmusa instructs;

(c)Β promptly ceasing distribution, quarantining inventory, and returning or destroying affected Product upon Dermafirmusa’s instruction in the event of a recall, market withdrawal, or safety notification; and

Account will bear the costs where the issue is attributable to Account’s mishandling, misuse, improper storage, or breach of this Agreement.

36. Warranty Disclaimer.Β Dermafirmusa makes no warranties or representations as to the Products, except as explicitly set forth in this Part J.

HOW TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT

To accept this Agreement, complete the professional account Application and check the box labeled β€œI have read and agree to the Dermafirm USA Individual Account Agreement” before submitting. Submission of the Application constitutes Account’s acceptance of all terms above. Dermafirmusa’s approval of the Application, communicated by email confirmation, establishes the Start Date and activates Account’s professional account.

Exhibit A β€” Personal Guarantee

Sole proprietorships and single-member LLCs are required to accept this Personal Guarantee as part of the Application. Other entity types may be required to accept this Personal Guarantee at Dermafirmusa’s discretion. Acceptance is provided by checking the box labeled β€œI personally guarantee the obligations of the Account under the Individual Account Agreement” during the Application process.

In consideration of Dermafirm USA, Inc. entering into the foregoing Individual Account Agreement (the β€œAgreement”) with the business entity identified in the Application (β€œAccount”), and to induce Dermafirmusa to ship Products and extend any credit terms, the individual who electronically accepts this Personal Guarantee (the β€œGuarantor”), being a principal of Account, unconditionally and personally guarantees to Dermafirmusa the full and prompt payment and performance of all monetary obligations of Account under the Agreement, including but not limited to invoices for Products, applicable taxes, shipping charges, restocking fees, liquidated damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of collection.

This is a guarantee of payment and performance, not merely of collection. Dermafirmusa may proceed directly against the Guarantor without first proceeding against Account or exhausting other remedies. This guarantee continues in effect through the Term of the Agreement and for all obligations arising during such Term, even if Account later dissolves, files bankruptcy, or transfers ownership.

Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this guarantee, notice of any modification of the Agreement, and any defenses based on Dermafirmusa’s election of remedies. This guarantee will be governed by Massachusetts law and is binding upon Guarantor’s heirs and personal representatives. Guarantor’s electronic acceptance during the Application process has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under the E-SIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as enacted in Massachusetts.

Guarantor’s name, home address, and electronic acceptance metadata (date, time, and IP address) are captured and stored by Dermafirmusa as the record of this Personal Guarantee.
