Statement of Support of BioNJ Principles and Agreement to BioNJ Information Practices

BioNJ membership is available only to bona fide organizations that promote biopharmaceutical research and support the growth and development of the biopharmaceutical industry; and to organizations with public policy positions and business practices that are generally consistent with BioNJ’s reputation and its policies and principles in support of innovation, including intellectual property, as determined by the Board of Trustees. BioNJ reserves the right to review applications for membership to confirm that the applicant meets these criteria for membership and for the specified categories of membership as per BioNJ’s bylaws (collectively, the “Membership Criteria”). BioNJ may, in its sole discretion, reject an application for membership or elect not to renew membership.

BioNJ membership is conditioned upon compliance with BioNJ’s policies and principles and meeting the Membership Criteria. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees may remove a member at any time, in their sole discretion, including for failure of a member to (x) adhere to BioNJ’s policies and principles or (y) meet the Membership Criteria. If at any time during membership in BioNJ, a member is listed on (i) the U.S. Department of Defense’s list of entities identified as Chinese military companies operating in the United States in accordance with Section 1260H of the William M. Thornberry National Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 or (ii) the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s list of Biotechnology Companies of Concern (each of (i) and (ii), a “Restricted List”), BioNJ membership shall be automatically revoked from such member; provided, however, that at such time that a member is no longer listed on any Restricted List, such member may reapply for BioNJ membership. In the event of removal of a member, BioNJ shall refund to such removed member the pro rata membership dues for the outstanding membership period.

I, on behalf of the company listed above, (hereafter the “Company”), affirm that the applicant generally supports BioNJ’s public policy positions, and that the positions and business practices of the Company are generally consistent with BioNJ’s reputation and its policies and principles in support of innovation, including intellectual property. I further affirm that the Company is not on a Restricted List.

I understand and agree that BioNJ and its partners may use the Company contact information and the personal information for the individuals listed in the Company’s BioNJ Membership Application Form (the “Contacts”) for a number of purposes, including: to communicate with the Company and the Contacts via telephone or through mail, facsimile, email or any other mode of communications; to provide notices and information to the Contacts about BioNJ, its activities and meetings and services, as well as its partners and their products and services; to maintain the information in its databases for use by BioNJ and its partners for the activities listed above and other activities that may be approved by BioNJ in the future. I acknowledge that this consent shall continue until receipt of a written request to BioNJ requesting that it discontinue use of the Information.
