IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, THEN YOU SHALL NOT VIEW OR OTHERWISE ENGAGE WITH THE PROGRAM (DEFINED BELOW) OR OTHERWISE USE DFH MATERIALS (DEFINED BELOW).

This Agreement governs the use of DFH Materials (as defined in Section 2 below), including but not limited to the “Designs for Health Dietary Supplement Specialist^TM” and “DFH-DSS^TM” trademarks (these two trademarks, the “DSS Trademarks”) and their associated course and related course materials (“Program”), by the individual or entity entering into this Agreement (“You,” “you,” or “Customer”). This Agreement is a binding contract between You and Designs for Health, Inc. (“DFH”). This Agreement constitutes Additional Terms as defined by the Terms of Use, which Terms of Use are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. As used herein, “Terms” means the combination of the Terms of Use and this Agreement. To the extent the terms of this Agreement conflict with the Terms of Use, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail.

1. Program Information. By accepting these Terms, you agree with and shall abide by the following: The information in the Program is provided as an educational resource and is intended to be used as a basis for determining whether to recommend products sold by DFH (“Products”) for use under their standard label conditions. Any usage or dosing recommendations from DFH are given for typical use based on an average 150-pound healthy adult. Individuals should see an appropriate health care practitioner for case-specific considerations and monitoring based on intended goals, subject body weight, medical history, and concomitant medication and supplement usage. Any Product containing botanical substances has the potential for causing individual sensitivities. Individual monitoring, including liver function tests, may be appropriate under medical supervision. Individuals should be monitored by health care professionals with the scope of practice that includes the diagnosis, monitoring and management of medical conditions. 
   
   
2. Ownership of DFH Materials; Reservation of Rights. DFH may make, but is not required to make, marketing materials and other educational or promotional content (“Marketing Materials”) available to You for use in promoting Products. All trademarks, trade names, logos, or identifying slogans contained in Marketing Materials, in DFH’s copyrighted materials, including but not limited to in the Program (“Copyrighted Materials”), or affixed to Products or any accompanying labels, containers, and cartons, whether or not registered, except those third-party trademarks used under license or otherwise to identify the source of an ingredient in a Product or the Product itself in the case of private label Products, are the exclusive property of DFH (“Trademarks”). You shall not use Trademarks, Marketing Materials, Copyrighted Materials, or any other intellectual property of DFH (collectively, “DFH Materials”) except in accordance with this Agreement, and You shall follow DFH’s brand use guidelines, policies, or other instructions DFH may give You from time to time regarding the use of DFH Materials. DFH retains all rights related to DFH Materials except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

You shall immediately notify DFH of the loss of any Credential submitted to DFH when You entered into these Terms, or if the licensed healthcare provider, health coach, registered nurse, or nutrition provider whose Credential was submitted is no longer employed by, or affiliated with, You. You shall, at Your own expense, obtain and maintain required certifications, credentials, licenses, and permits necessary to maintain Your Credentials.
