We use email and electronic means to stay in touch with our Users.

All payment transactions will be subject to a Processing Fee. This Fee will be visible to each User prior to a transaction taking place. In the event that InstaPharm intervenes to ensure Payment Guarantee for any User, whether it is due to cancellation of a Contracted Position or due to a no-show for a posting, or any other reason, the User being charged agrees to pay a processing fee for facilitating such transactions as well.
InstaPharm may add new Subscription Services for additional fees and charges or may proactively amend Processing Fees and charges for existing Services, at any time in its sole discretion.

InstaPharm guarantees the payment of each Consultant User’s Invoice for the completion of Positions (or a segment thereof as pre-agreed by the Service User and the Consultant User) for Service Users (InstaPharm’s “Limited Payment Guarantee”), subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Limited Payment Guarantee Conditions”):
The Service User has failed to satisfy the Consultant User’s Invoice (the dollar amount of such invoice, the “Unpaid Invoiced Amount”) by the end of the twentieth (20th) business day after the Invoice has been submitted (such date, the “Service User Payment Due Date”).
The Consultant User has submitted to InstaPharm a written claim for the Unpaid Invoiced Amount (i) within a fifteen (15) business day period, beginning on the day immediately following the Service User Payment Due Date (such period, the “Consultant User Claim Submission Period”) and (ii) provide in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of the Position, including any rationale provided by the Service User for his/her failure to make such payment and/or any rationale the Consultant User can in good faith speculate on as to why the Service User refuses to make payment (such claim, a “Limited Payment Guarantee Request”). Failure to submit the Limited Payment Guarantee Request within the Consultant User Claim Submission Period shall constitute such Consultant User’s permanent waiver of his/her right to receive the Unpaid Invoiced Amount from any person or entity, including InstaPharm and the Service User. To the extent that InstaPharm determines in its sole and absolute discretion that it is commercially reasonable to do so, it may continue its collection efforts with the Service User and if successful, the Consultant User will receive his/her portion of the collected amount, minus any reasonable InstaPharm out-of-pocket collection expenses, pursuant to 15 (E) above.
In the event that the Consultant User does submit a Limited Payment Guarantee Request within the Consultant User Claim Submission Period, and such request contains the information set forth in clause 16 (B) above, InstaPharm will attempt in good faith to work with the Service User and Consultant User for a period of up to seven (7) business days from the date of the Limited Payment Guarantee Request (such period, the “Payment-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period”) to resolve the matter which is the subject of the Limited Payment Guarantee Request (the “Payment-Related Disputed Matter”). In the event that the Payment-Related Disputed Matter is successfully resolved within the Payment-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period, each of the Service User, Consultant User and, if relevant, InstaPharm will take the agreed upon steps to execute the agreed-upon resolution.
In the event that the Payment-Related Disputed Matter remains unresolved at the conclusion of the Payment-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period, by no later than the seventh (7th) business day after the end of the Payment-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period (the date such determination is communicated in writing to the Service User and Consultant User, the “InstaPharm Disputed-Amount Determination Date”), InstaPharm shall make a determination in its sole and absolute discretion (the “InstaPharm Disputed Matter Decision”), based upon the information theretofore provided by Consultant User and, if provided, the Service User, as to whether the nature and quality of the Pharmacy Services rendered in connection with the related Position are consistent with industry standards, the provisions of the related Position and these Terms and Conditions.
Should InstaPharm decide the Payment-Related Disputed Matter in favor of the Consultant User, InstaPharm shall remit the Unpaid Invoiced Amount to the Consultant User within seven (7) business days after the InstaPharm Disputed-Amount Determination Date, and the Consultant User shall be deemed to have assigned all of his/her rights with respect to the Payment-Related Disputed Matter to InstaPharm. Notwithstanding anything stated herein or otherwise to the contrary, the dollar amount sought under this Section 15 shall not exceed the amount initially contracted between Service User and Consultant User in relation to the Position or an amount subsequently agreed to in a signed engagement letter or other written agreement between the parties, and in any event shall never exceed $5,000 in aggregate across all unpaid invoices sent by the Consultant User to the Service User.
Should InstaPharm decide the Payment-Related Disputed Matter in favor of the Service User, the Service User shall no longer be obligated to make payment of the Unpaid Invoiced Amount to the Consultant User and shall be deemed to have assigned all of his/her rights with respect to the Payment-Related Disputed Matter to InstaPharm as of the InstaPharm Disputed-Amount Determination Date. In such event, the Consultant User shall (i) be deemed to have waived his/her rights to seek such amounts from the Service User, and (ii) have the right to initiate binding arbitration proceedings with respect to the Unpaid Invoiced Amount against InstaPharm which are equivalent to those proceedings set forth in Section 23(D) hereof (Arbitration) by providing InstaPharm with written notice of his/her exercise of such right within twenty (20) business days after the end of the InstaPharm Disputed-Amount Determination Date (such period, the “Payment-Dispute Arbitration Election Time Period”). In the event that the Consultant User does not exercise his/her right to initiate arbitration proceedings during the Payment Dispute Arbitration Election Time Period, he/she shall be deemed to have permanently waived his/her right to payment of the Unpaid Invoiced Amount.
In the event that a Service User has a good faith belief that the Consultant User did not complete a Position or Proposal or did not adhere to these Terms and Conditions, or the amounts invoiced for the Pharmacy Services provided by such Consultant User are not consistent with such Position or Proposal (such matter, a “Services-Related Disputed Matter”), he/she shall be permitted to withhold payment of any disputed amounts which are the subject of such matter (the “Withheld Payment Amounts”), subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Withheld Payment Amount Conditions”):
Within twenty (20) business days of the date of the related invoice (such period, the “Service User Dispute Notice Period”), the Service User shall provide written notice to InstaPharm setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances which are the basis of the Services-Related Disputed Matter (each, a “Services-Related Dispute Notice”). The Service User’s failure to submit a Services-Related Dispute Notice within the Service User Dispute Notice Period shall constitute such Service User’s permanent waiver of his/her right to dispute the Withheld Payment Amounts, which amounts will be charged to the Service User’s on-file credit card, bank account, or other approved methods of payment in accordance with Section 15(D) of these Terms of Use.
In the event that the Service User does submit a Services-Related Dispute Notice within the Service User Dispute Notice Period, and such request contains the information set forth in clause 17 (A). above, InstaPharm will attempt in good faith to work with the Service User and Consultant User for a period of up to fifteen (15) business days from the date of the Services-Related Dispute Notice (such period, the “Services-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period”) to resolve the Services-Related Disputed Matter. In the event that the Services-Related Disputed Matter is successfully resolved within the Services-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period, each of the Service User, Consultant User and, if relevant, InstaPharm will take the agreed upon steps to execute the agreed-upon resolution.
In the event that the Services-Related Disputed Matter remains unresolved at the conclusion of the Services-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period, by no later than the fourteenth (14th) business day after the end of the Services-Related Disputed Matter Mediation Period, InstaPharm shall make a determination in its sole and absolute discretion (the “InstaPharm Services-Related Disputed Matter Decision”), and based upon the information theretofore provided by the Service User and Consultant User, as to whether the Consultant User did not complete a Position or Proposal or did not adhere to these Terms and Conditions, or the invoices generated by the Consultant User contained discrepancies. Should InstaPharm decide the Services-Related Disputed Matter in favor of the Consultant User, the Service User shall be obligated to make payment of the Withheld Payment Amounts to such Consultant User within the seven (7) business day period after the date on which such Service User is notified in writing of the InstaPharm Services-Related Disputed Matter Decision (the “InstaPharm Services-Related Disputed Matter Decision Notice”). In the event that the Service User fails to make timely payment, InstaPharm will remit the Withheld Payment Amounts to the Consultant User who will assign his/her rights to reimbursement for such amounts to InstaPharm which may, in its sole discretion, process payment pursuant to Section 15(D) and/or elect to pursue its rights and remedies against the Service User.
Should InstaPharm decide the Services-Related Disputed Matter in favor of the Service User, the Service User shall no longer be obligated to make payment of the Withheld Payment Amounts to the Consultant User and shall be deemed to have assigned all of his/her rights with respect to the Services-Related Disputed Matter to InstaPharm. In such event, the Consultant User shall (i) be deemed to have waived his/her rights to seek such amounts from the Service User, and (ii) have the right to initiate binding arbitration proceedings with respect to the Withheld Payment Amounts against InstaPharm which are equivalent to those proceedings set forth in Section 21(D) hereof (Arbitration) by providing InstaPharm with written notice of his/her exercise of such right within ten (10) business days after the date of the Services-Related Disputed Matter Decision Notice (such period, the “Services-Related Arbitration Election Time Period”). In the event that the Consultant User does not exercise his/her right to initiate arbitration proceedings during the Services-Related Arbitration Election Time Period, he/she shall be deemed to have permanently waived his/her right to payment of the Withheld Payment Amounts.
In the event that the Consultant User and Service User have both timely availed themselves of the rights set forth in Section 15 and Section 16, the procedures set forth in Section 16 shall take precedence over the proceedings set forth in Section 15 and the Consultant agrees to permanently waive his/her right to pursue his/her rights set forth in Section 15 with respect to the facts and circumstances underlying the Payment-Related Disputed Matter.
The procedures set forth in this Section 16 shall be referred to herein as the “Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedures”
