AURA PEPTIDES

Terms and Conditions of Use and Sale

Last updated: 30 August 2026

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY.

These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you (“you”, “Buyer”) and Aura Peptides, LLC, including its affiliates, successors, and assigns (“Aura Peptides”, “Company”, “we”, “us”). They govern this website (the “Site”) and every related service, communication, quote, invoice, payment instruction, order, and fulfilment step we provide or arrange (together, the “Services”).

The only binding text of these Terms is the version published on this Site. Any summary, Discord post, pin, screenshot, translation, or staff paraphrase is notice only and does not replace this page. If there is a conflict, this page controls.

If you do not agree to these Terms in full, do not use the Site, do not complete any verification, do not request a quote, do not pay, and do not order.

These Terms may only be modified by an updated posting on this Site, or by a written instrument signed by an authorised officer of Aura Peptides. No chat, DM, emoji, ticket, or informal statement amends them.

1. Definitions

“Official Channel” means only this Site and the sales or support channels we expressly designate on this Site (for example a Contact page). Channels we do not designate are not us.

“Order” means any request to purchase Products, including checkout on the Site, a message to an Official Channel, a reply to a quote, or a payment sent against a quote.

“Product(s)” means research compounds, peptides, reagents, solvents, kits, and related laboratory materials offered via the Services.

“Third-Party Provider” means any independent manufacturer, supplier, laboratory, packer, warehouse, carrier, payment processor, or similar vendor.

“Verification” means completing the Discord verification process we use (including VaultCord or any successor), Discord membership screening if enabled, and any other access gate we apply before you may use community or ordering channels.

2. Binding agreement

You agree to these Terms, and to every policy linked from this Site, when you do any of the following (each is your electronic signature under applicable e-sign law, including the U.S. E-SIGN Act and UETA):

(a) access or use the Site;
(b) complete Verification;
(c) join, remain in, or use any community or messaging space we operate after Verification;
(d) request a quote;
(e) send payment;
(f) place an Order.

The version of these Terms published on this Site at the moment we accept your Order (or, if earlier, at the moment your payment is first identified by us) is the version that governs that Order.

We may retain Verification logs, user identifiers, timestamps, quotes, payment references, shipping data, IP logs, and Site records as the contract record. You consent to notices by Site posting, email, or message on an Official Channel.

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting a new version on this Site with a new “Last updated” date. The new version binds you for all subsequent use and Orders. It is your responsibility to read this page before each Order.

3. Eligibility and status

You represent, warrant, and covenant that:

(a) you are at least 21 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher;
(b) you have legal capacity to enter a binding contract;
(c) you are purchasing as a business, laboratory, institution, or other non-consumer research buyer, and not as a consumer for personal, family, or household use;
(d) you are not a sanctioned person and are not in, and will not divert Products to, any sanctioned territory under UK, US, EU, UN, or other applicable sanctions;
(e) all information you give us is true and complete.

We may refuse, cancel, delay, or limit any person, Verification, or Order, at any time, for any reason or no reason, with no liability.

4. Intended use — laboratory research only

PRODUCTS ARE SOLD SOLELY FOR LEGITIMATE IN VITRO LABORATORY AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BY QUALIFIED RESEARCHERS OR INSTITUTIONS IN CONTROLLED LABORATORY SETTINGS.

Products are not drugs, medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, food, supplements, or veterinary products. No Product has been evaluated or approved by the FDA, MHRA, EMA, TGA, Health Canada, or any other authority for safety, quality, efficacy, or any use. Products are not intended for human or animal consumption, administration, injection, implantation, inhalation, topical use, compounding, diagnostic use, clinical use, or any therapeutic purpose.

You represent, warrant, and covenant that:

(i) you are a qualified researcher or you are purchasing for an accredited laboratory or research institution;
(ii) you will use Products only for lawful in vitro research;
(iii) you will not use, and you have no present intention to use, any Product in or on humans or animals;
(iv) you will not request, and you acknowledge we do not provide, dosing, protocols, reconstitution for injection, “how to use” guidance, cycle advice, or medical, veterinary, or clinical advice;
(v) any third-party discussion of human or animal use is unauthorised, is not ours, and you will not rely on it;
(vi) you are solely responsible for legality of purchase, import, possession, storage, use, and disposal under every applicable law, including the country of purchase, destination, and transit;
(vii) you have or will obtain every licence, permit, ethics approval, and import authorisation required;
(viii) you will not resell, supply, advertise, or distribute Products as medicines, unlicensed drugs, or for human or animal use;
(ix) a product’s common name, a published paper, or the existence of similar compounds does not make our Products authorised, safe, or appropriate for any non-research use;
(x) you will not misrepresent your identity, institution, or end use.

UNITED KINGDOM. If you are in the UK or request delivery there, you further warrant that:

(a) the purchase is solely for genuine laboratory or scientific research by a qualified researcher or accredited institution;
(b) you have read and understand that the MHRA may disregard a “research only” label if the overall context suggests human use, and you accept that risk;
(c) you will not resell, supply, or present Products as unlicensed medicines in the UK;
(d) you will notify us immediately of any regulatory enquiry related to your Order.

ALL OTHER COUNTRIES. You make the same warranties as they apply in your country, the destination country, and any transit country, and you assume all risk of seizure, import bans, fines, and prosecution.

We may require government ID, institutional credentials, an end-use certificate, or other due-diligence materials before or after acceptance. Failure to provide them is grounds to cancel with no liability. We may report suspected unlawful activity to authorities where we believe we are required or permitted to do so.

5. Regulatory status

These materials are not authorised medicinal products and are not approved drugs. No marketing authorisation, NDA, ANDA, or IND is claimed in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere. Products are not offered as 503A or 503B compounded drugs, not as dietary supplements, and not as in vitro diagnostic devices.

U.S. law determines a product’s intended use from the totality of circumstances, not from a label or disclaimer alone (see FD&C Act §§ 201(g), 201(p), 505; 21 CFR 201.128). You agree you will not create a human-use intended use: no therapeutic, diagnostic, structure/function, weight-loss, or body-composition purpose; no administration to humans or animals; no request for dosing, reconstitution for injection, or clinical guidance.

The FDA guidance on “Research Use Only” / “Investigational Use Only” distribution applies to in vitro diagnostic products, not to these materials. You will not treat our labelling as IVD RUO/IUO status.

EU/UK medicines rules similarly follow presentation and intended use, not a research-use caption. Directive 2001/83/EC and UK Human Medicines Regulations 2012 are not avoided by this page.

You are solely responsible for whether your purchase, import, and research use is lawful where you are. If you want a product for human use, these Services are not the lawful path — that requires an approved application, a lawful IND, or compounding only where a competent authority actually allows it.

6. No reliance; no professional advice

You agree you are not relying on any statement, omission, image, product name, purity figure, COA, marketing copy, or message except the express terms on this page and the figures on the official quote for that Order.

Nothing we publish or send is medical, veterinary, pharmaceutical, legal, tax, or professional advice. Do not interpret a product name as instructions for human or animal use.

7. Quotes, formation, and cancellation

A quote, price list, catalogue, or cart total is an invitation to treat, not an offer. Stock is not reserved until we accept.

You offer to buy when you submit an Order or pay against a quote. No contract is formed until we accept. Acceptance occurs only when we confirm acceptance on an Official Channel after we have received and identified conforming payment, or when we otherwise notify you of acceptance on an Official Channel. Payment without our confirmation is not acceptance.

Prices are in United States dollars and may change at any time before acceptance. Unless a quote states otherwise, prices exclude duties, taxes, brokerage, and banking or network fees.

Quotes expire at the stated time or, if silent, 24 hours after issue. We may correct good-faith errors.

We may reject or cancel any Order before shipment, including after payment, if we suspect fraud, sanctions risk, a Terms breach, misrepresentation, or a fulfilment problem. If we cancel before shipment we will return the amount of crypto we actually received (less network fees) to the extent we can identify a return path. We have no liability for exchange-rate movement, delay, lost profit, or consequential loss.

8. Payment

Pay only in the asset, amount, network, and destination stated on the official quote issued via an Official Channel.

Crypto:

• you bear all network, memo/tag, and address risk;
• a payment to the wrong address, wrong network, wrong asset, or missing memo is not a paid Order and is not recoverable by us;
• we credit only what we actually receive after the confirmations we require;
• confirmed crypto is irreversible;
• we do not refund confirmed payments except as section 7 (pre-shipment cancellation by us) or a duplicate payment we can still recover;
• until we confirm the transaction on an Official Channel, the Order is not accepted;
• FX movement between quote and confirmation is yours.

You represent that you lawfully control the paying wallet or account and that the funds are not proceeds of crime or fraud.

Any chargeback, recall, dispute, or claim of unauthorised payment after you have been quoted and have sent funds is a material breach. You remain liable for the full Order plus our reasonable collection costs.

9. Fulfilment, title, risk, customs

Delivery windows are estimates only.

We act as a reseller arranging supply. We do not manufacture Products. Third-Party Providers may synthesise, store, pack, label, test, and ship. We may never physically possess a given lot.

Your purchase contract is with Aura Peptides. Once a parcel is handed to a carrier, the contract of carriage is with that carrier.

You are the importer of record and the exporter of record as applicable. You are solely responsible for classification, clearance, duties, VAT, GST, licences, inspections, and carrier charges.

Risk of loss and title pass to you when the parcel is tendered to the first carrier, unless a quote expressly states a different point.

You must provide a complete, accurate consignee name, address, and any required identification. Refusal, failed delivery, wrong address, or unclaimed parcels are your loss.

Customs delay, inspection, duty, seizure, destruction, or return is your risk. It is not a ground for refund or replacement except where we failed to dispatch an Order we had accepted and for which conforming payment had cleared.

Absence of tracking events is not proof of non-shipment.

10. All sales final; limited transit claims

EXCEPT FOR PRE-SHIPMENT CANCELLATION BY US UNDER SECTION 7, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

No refund, return, replacement, or credit for change of mind, buyer’s remorse, inability or unwillingness to import, seizure, delay, your breach, failed collection, or illegality of your intended use.

If, and only if, a parcel is delivered empty, short-shipped in a way obvious from the exterior, or destroyed in transit, you must notify us on an Official Channel within seven (7) days of the first delivery scan (or of the quoted delivery date if there is no scan), with photographs and tracking. Failure to do so waives the claim. Any remedy, if we elect to provide one, is limited to replacement of the affected line or a store credit, and only if the carrier or supplier confirms a packing or shipping fault attributable to them. Seized, refused, returned-to-sender, or detained parcels are not covered.

You must independently inspect and test Products before any research use. Opened research materials cannot be returned.

11. Product information and testing

Descriptions, images, masses, and concentrations are for identification. Images may be stock or illustrative. We do not warrant that any image matches a particular lot.

Certificates of analysis and similar documents are produced by Third-Party Providers. We do not independently verify every lot and we do not adopt those documents as our warranty. You must perform your own identity, purity, and suitability testing. Lots may vary.

No result, yield, or research outcome is warranted.

12. Intellectual property

The Site, names, logos, text, graphics, and other content are owned by us or our licensors. You receive a limited, revocable, non-transferable licence to access the Site to review these Terms and to submit research Orders. You may not copy, scrape, index, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit our content.

You grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store and use communications and order data to operate the Services, prevent fraud, and enforce these Terms.

13. Acceptable use

You will not:

(a) use the Services for any unlawful purpose;
(b) impersonate us, our staff, or any other person;
(c) use stolen funds or stolen identities;
(d) interfere with or probe our systems;
(e) request or solicit human-use, dosing, or clinical information;
(f) supply Products onward as medicines or for human or animal use;
(g) place an Order you know will be used in humans or animals;
(h) harass staff or other users;
(i) publish private quotes, payment destinations, or tracking data in a manner likely to facilitate fraud;
(j) circumvent Verification, bans, or geographic restrictions.

14. Privacy

The Privacy Policy on this Site is incorporated into these Terms. You consent to processing of identifiers, messages, shipping data, device data, and payment references as described there, including sharing with Third-Party Providers strictly as needed to fulfil, to prevent fraud, and to comply with law.

15. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE, THE SERVICES, AND ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, PURITY, IDENTITY, STERILITY, CONTINUOUS ACCESS, OR LEGALITY OF IMPORT OR POSSESSION IN YOUR JURISDICTION.

You assume all risk of purchase, import, handling, storage, and research use.

Without limiting the foregoing, we have no liability for: use or misuse of Products; injury, death, or property damage; research failure; regulatory, civil, or criminal action against you; acts of customs, carriers, or labs; Site or messaging downtime; or conduct of anyone who is not on an Official Channel, including impersonators.

These disclaimers survive.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AURA PEPTIDES, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR LOST-PROFIT DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES OR ANY ORDER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE USD AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SPECIFIC ORDER GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

If a mandatory law forbids a limitation, we are limited to the minimum liability that law allows.

Unless a non-waivable statute requires a longer period, any claim against us is forever barred unless filed within six (6) months after the claim first accrues.

17. Indemnity

You shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aura Peptides and its officers, directors, members, employees, affiliates, and Third-Party Providers from any claim, loss, fine, seizure, investigation, penalty, damage, and reasonable legal fees arising out of or related to:

(a) your access to or use of the Services or Products;
(b) your import, storage, handling, or disposal of Products;
(c) your breach of these Terms or of law;
(d) your research or other activities;
(e) your content;
(f) any action or enquiry by the MHRA, FDA, EMA, TGA, Health Canada, customs, police, or any other authority in connection with your Order or your conduct;
(g) any claim that your use was for human or animal administration or as an unlicensed medicine.

We may assume exclusive defence of any indemnified matter. You will cooperate at your expense.

18. Termination

We may deny Site access, revoke Verification, remove you from community spaces, and refuse future Orders at any time. Sections concerning payment already due, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, records, and dispute resolution survive indefinitely.

19. Governing law; arbitration; class waiver

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of them, the Services, or any Order (a “Dispute”) are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

EXCEPT WHERE A MANDATORY LAW GIVES YOU A NON-WAIVABLE RIGHT TO SUE IN YOUR HOME COURTS AS A CONSUMER (WHICH YOU REPRESENT YOU ARE NOT), EVERY DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION UNDER ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES. THE SEAT IS WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. THE LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH.

YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

If the class waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and not in arbitration. If arbitration is found unenforceable as to a Dispute, exclusive venue is the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

We may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any forum to protect intellectual property, stop fraud, or recover unpaid amounts.

You and we agree that any Dispute is personal and confidential to the parties, except as required to enforce an award or as required by law.

20. General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the official quote for a given Order (issued on an Official Channel) are the entire agreement for that Order and supersede all prior discussions.

Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent required; the remainder remains in force. If modification is not possible, that provision is severed.

No waiver. A failure to enforce is not a waiver. Waivers must be express and issued on an Official Channel or signed by an authorised officer.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or any Order. We may assign them without notice.

No third-party beneficiaries. Except indemnified persons in section 17, these Terms create no third-party rights.

Relationship. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship. Third-Party Providers are independent and are not our partners.

Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including carrier failure, customs, labour disputes, epidemic, war, government action, utility or network failure, blockchain congestion, exchange disruption, or supplier shortage.

Language. English controls. Headings are convenience only.

Records. Our records of quotes, Verification, payments, and dispatch are prima facie evidence of those facts.

Notices to us. Use the contact method published on this Site.

Export. You will not export or re-export Products in violation of any export-control or sanctions law.

By using the Services or placing an Order you confirm that you have read and understood these Terms, including the research-only, regulatory-status, and import-risk provisions, and that violation of research-only restrictions can expose you to regulatory or criminal liability in your country.

If you do not agree, do not use the Services and do not order.
