CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION

Exclusive License of Right
Effective Date: Feb. 2, 2004 Approved by: Executive Feb. 2, 2004

Background

CAPM&R purposely does not want to grant an exclusivity to any supplier, or group of suppliers to the exclusion of any or all other suppliers, or group of suppliers. To do so, could deprive CAPM&R of selection, create unfavourable pricing ramifications, contravene fair trade practices and promote unnecessary ill-will in the marketplace.

Policy

CAPM&R shall avoid, under any and all circumstances, giving exclusive license or rights verbally or in writing to any supplier, or groups of suppliers of goods and services.

Implementation

Whenever a corporate or personal request involves reference to exclusivity, CAPM&R will communicate this policy to ensure that the difference between exclusivity and other terms of agreement are made clear.
