VENDOR CODE OF CONDUCT

Nutritional Supplement Manufacturers, Inc. (the “Company”), expects all of its employees, consultants, agents, vendors, distributors and other representatives to conduct themselves at all times with integrity and in full compliance with the laws and regulations that govern our global business activities. To that end, the Company has established a set of standards of business practices and regulatory compliance that are set out in our Ethical, Legal and Business Conduct Policies (the “Employee Code of Conduct”) which applies to all Company employees.
It is the Company’s policy to conduct business with vendors who share and embrace the letter and spirit of our commitment to integrity. By “vendor” we mean any firm or individual that provides a product or service, directly or indirectly, to the Company. We understand that vendors are independent entities, but the business practices and actions of a vendor may significantly impact and/or reflect upon the Company, our reputation, and our brand, which is one of our most important assets. Because of this, the Company expects all vendors and their employees, agents and subcontractors (their “Representatives”) to adhere to this Vendor Code of Conduct while they are conducting business with and/or on behalf of the Company. All vendors should educate their Representatives to ensure they understand and comply with this Vendor Code of Conduct. The Company may terminate or amend this Vendor Code of Conduct from time to time in its sole discretion.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE PRACTICES

All Company vendors and their Representatives shall conduct their business activities in full compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of their respective countries while conducting business with and/or on behalf of the Company. In addition to any specific obligations under the vendor’s agreement with the Company, all vendors shall, without limitation:

Summary

  • Comply with the anti-corruption laws of the countries in which they do business, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act, and not make any illegal direct or indirect payments (including gifts and entertainment) or promises of payments to any person for the purpose of inducing the individual to misuse his or her position to obtain or retain business or otherwise gain an improper business advantage.
  • Not make “facilitating” or “grease” payments to government officials for the performance of routine governmental action.
  •  Maintain appropriate documentation for reimbursable costs and expenses.
  • Conduct business in full compliance with antitrust and fair competition laws that govern the jurisdictions in which they conduct business.
  • Comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

BUSINESS PRACTICES

  • Honestly and accurately record and report all business information and comply with all applicable laws regarding their completion and accuracy.
  •  Maintain effective business programs and controls designed to prevent and detect fraud and corruption.
  • Create, retain and dispose of business records in full compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Company, and use such confidential information solely for performing the services for which the vendor has been retained by the Company; provided that any such confidential information may be disclosed to a vendor’s Representatives who need to know such information for the purposes of performing the services. The Company’s confidential information shall not be used in any way that could reasonably be considered to be detrimental to the Company.
  • Use good judgment, discretion and moderation when offering gifts or entertainment to Company employees or agents. In doing so, the vendor and or its Representatives will refrain from giving Company employees an individual gift or a combination of gifts, or providing any entertainment, that would violate the Employee Code of Conduct. In any event, no vendor may ever offer a bribe, kickback, bartering arrangement for goods or services and/or any other incentive to a Company employee or agent in order to obtain or retain Company business.
  •  Avoid the appearance of or actual improprieties or conflicts of interests. In the course of negotiating the vendor agreement or performing the vendor’s obligations, vendors or their Representatives shall not deal directly with any Company employee (i) who holds or whose spouse, domestic partner or relative holds a significant financial interest in the vendor, or (ii) who is a spouse, domestic partner or relative of the vendor’s Representative.

Company vendors are expected to self-monitor their compliance with this Vendor Code of Conduct. The Company may request documentation and other supporting data and information from the vendor and its Representatives prior to paying invoiced fees and expenses, and reserves the right to perform audits to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws.

NO CREATION OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS

This Vendor Code of Conduct does not confer, nor shall it be deemed to confer, any rights on the part of third-parties, including any third-party beneficiary rights. For example, no employees of any vendor shall have any rights against the Company by virtue of this Vendor Code of Conduct, nor shall such employees have any rights to cause the Company to enforce any provisions of this Vendor Code of Conduct, the decision with respect to any such actions being reserved by the Company in its sole discretion.
