Formålet med samarbejdsaftalen er deltagelse i paneldebat ved internt medarbejderarrangement uden honorar.
3 Samarbejdsprojektets navn
Samarbejdsprojektets navn er Ambitioner og visioner for fremtidens sundhedsv sen.
4 Parternes roller og forpligtelser i samarbejdet
MSD forpligter sig med nærværende samarbejdsaftale til i aftaleperioden at arrangere paneldebatten. Hvis støtten fra MSD dækker honorar til en eller flere foredragsholdere, der er sundhedspersoner, kan vedkommende personer få en tilknytning til MSD, og der henvises i den forbindelse til afsnit 13 og Bilag 3 nedenfor.
Organisationen forpligter sig med nærværende samarbejdsaftale til i aftaleperioden at deltage i paneldebatten.
I forbindelse med MSDs samarbejde med Organisationen påser MSD, forinden at aftalen indgås, at Parternes samarbejde opfylder kravene i de etiske regler for lægemiddelbranchens samarbejde med patientforeninger m.v. ("Patientforeningskodekset").
Organisationen skal i forbindelse med aftalen overholde alle gældende, relevante love, regler, forskrifter, myndighedskrav og vejledninger i forbindelse med samarbejdet.
Organisationen forpligter sig til ikke at give eller tilbyde effekter med økonomisk værdi til personer med henblik på at skaffe MSD en uberettiget fordel. Organisationen vil heller ikke modtage eller anmode om effekter med økonomisk værdi for at sikre giveren heraf en uberettiget fordel i forretningsmæssige dispositioner.
Hvis samarbejdet vedrører afholdelse af arrangementer og/eller møder, skal det enkelte arrangement/møde overholde § 8 i Patientforeningskodekset, herunder navnlig i forhold til følgende:
Kravet til fagligt indhold, hvilket opfyldes, idet paneldebatten omhandler det danske sundhedsvæsen.
Arrangementet og møderne afholdes på Halvandet, Refshalevej i København, der udgør et passende sted, som bidrager til arrangementets hovedformål, og som i øvrigt ikke er kendt for sine underholdningsfaciliteter, eller er for ekstravagant.
Forplejning og repræsentation i forbindelse med arrangementer begrænses til udgifter til transport, bespisning, overnatning og deltagergebyr. Al form for forplejning og repræsentation vil være på et rimeligt niveau og nøje begrænset til formålet med arrangementet.
Måltider (mad og drikkevarer) vil alene tilbydes i de tilfælde, hvor værdien af sådanne måltider ikke overstiger de gældende beløbslofter.
Der sponsoreres eller organiseres ikke i forbindelse med arrangementet nogen form for underholdningsaktiviteter (f.eks. sports-, kultur-, musik- eller fritidsaktiviteter).
Forplejning og repræsentation tilbydes alene de personer, der i kraft af deres person kan anses for kvalificeret som deltagere. Kun i de særlige tilfælde, hvor en ledsagende person, der opfylder et sundhedsmæssigt/støttende/plejende behov (f.eks. som handicaphjælper) for deltageren, kan forplejning og repræsentation ydes til denne.
Der ydes ikke økonomisk kompensation for den tid, repræsentanter bruger på at deltage i aktiviteten.
Der organiseres eller sponsoreres ikke arrangementer i udlandet, medmindre 1) flertallet af deltagerne er fra udlandet, og det på baggrund heraf giver større logistisk mening at holde arrangementet i et andet land end Danmark, eller 2) placeringen af de relevante ressourcer eller ekspertiser, som indgår i arrangementet, betyder, at det giver større logistisk mening at holde arrangementet i et andet land end Danmark.
5 Tidsramme
Samarbejdet, hvis nærmere formål og omfang er beskrevet i pkt. 2 og 4, skal afvikles p Halvandet, Refshalevej 325, 1432 K benhavn den 1. september 2022. Parternes rettigheder og forpligtelser i henhold til nærværende samarbejdsaftale er g ldende den 1. september 2022 og indtil
samarbejdsaftalens forpligtelser er opfyldt, medmindre andet udtrykkeligt er aftalt.

11 Misligholdelse
Såfremt en af Parterne misligholder sine forpligtelser i henhold til nærværende samarbejdsaftale, kan den ikke misligholdende part ophæve samarbejdsaftalen med øjeblikkelig virkning.

MSDs firmapolitik kræver, at MSDs forretning og drift er i overensstemmelse med gældende lov indenfor MSDs forretningsområde. Organisationen er indforstået med til enhver tid at overholde MSDs politik om etisk forretningspraksis og adfærdskodeks, der er vedlagt aftalen som Bilag 1. Hvis Organisationen eller enhver tredjemand, der handler på Organisationens vegne, ikke efterlever bestemmelserne i Bilag 1, betragtes det i sig selv som væsentligt misligholdelse af Samarbejdsaftalen. MSD kan i sådanne tilfælde hæve aftalen med øjeblikkelig virkning efter skriftligt varsel til Organisationen, og Organisationen skal holde MSD skadesløs i forhold til ethvert ansvar, der følger af Organisationens forsømmelser.

Ingen af Parterne er berettiget til at bruge den anden Parts immaterielle rettigheder, herunder bearbejdelser eller variationer heraf, uanset formål, medmindre den anden Part udtrykkeligt har givet tilladelse hertil, eller det er anført heri.
Alle de immaterielle rettigheder, som tilhører en Part inden ikrafttrædelsestidspunktet, som er skabt af eller for en Part uafhængigt af Samarbejdsaftalen, tilhører fortsat den pågældende Part.
Hvis Organisationens ydelser omfatter, at Organisationen skal skabe eller udvikle produkter til MSD, har MSD de fulde og eksklusive rettigheder til produkterne, herunder eventuelle iboende immaterielle rettigheder.
Organisation anerkender i den henseende, at alle immaterielle rettigheder, der eksisterer (eller vil eksistere i fremtiden), til de pågældende produkter, automatisk og fuldt ud tilfalder MSD, når de er skabt. I det omfang at de ikke automatisk tilfalder MSD, accepterer Organisationen at overdrage alle rettigheder, ejendomsrettigheder og øvrige rettigheder vedrørende sådanne immaterielle rettigheder til MSD. Organisationen accepterer straks at udfærdige alle de dokumenter og at foretage alle de handlinger, som efter MSD's opfattelse er nødvendige for, at dette punkt får virkning. I det omfang det er tilladt i henhold til lovgivningen, giver Organisationen hermed afkald på alle ideelle rettigheder (og alle tilsvarende rettigheder i andre jurisdiktioner), som MSD har eller måtte få til sådanne produkter, som Organisationen har skabt eller udviklet til MSD.
I det omfang at eventuelle produkter omfatter immaterielle rettigheder, som tilhører Organisationen, tildeler Organisationen hermed MSD og/eller MSD's indbyrdes forbundne selskaber en royaltyfri, global, eksklusiv, ikke- overdragelig, uigenkaldelig licens til at bruge de pågældende immaterielle rettigheder.
