ALERA RESEARCH AFFILIATE PROGRAM

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: August 1, 2026

These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions, together with all incorporated policies, guidelines, campaign instructions, compensation terms, and other program materials referenced herein, constitute a legally binding agreement (“Agreement”) between Alera Research LLC, doing business as Alera Research (“Alera,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and the individual or entity applying for or participating in the Alera Research Affiliate Program (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”).

1. Acceptance of Agreement

You agree to this Agreement by doing any of the following:

Submitting an application to the Alera Research Affiliate Program;
Checking a box or otherwise indicating acceptance of these Terms;
Accessing or using the affiliate portal;
Receiving or using an affiliate link, promotional code, creative asset, or other Program Material;
Promoting Alera or any Alera product;
Referring any person to Alera; or
Accepting any commission, bonus, product, credit, or other benefit from Alera.

If you do not agree to every provision of this Agreement, you must not participate in the Program.

You represent that you are at least twenty-one years old and possess the legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement. If you are accepting this Agreement for a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

2. Incorporated Policies

The following are incorporated into this Agreement by reference:

Alera’s general Website Terms and Conditions;
Alera’s Privacy Policy;
Alera’s Shipping and Returns Policy;
The Affiliate Compliance Standards contained in this Agreement;
Any compliance bulletins, prohibited-claims lists, approved-claims lists, or brand guidelines provided through the affiliate portal or by Alera;
Any campaign-specific written instructions;
The commission rates, attribution settings, payout terms, and promotional conditions displayed in the affiliate portal; and
Any written amendments or additional requirements communicated by Alera.

The strictest applicable compliance requirement will control if two provisions differ. Campaign-specific compensation terms may supplement the general compensation provisions but do not override Alera’s compliance, intellectual-property, suspension, or termination rights unless an authorized Alera officer expressly agrees in writing.

3. Admission to and Administration of the Program

Participation in the Program is a revocable privilege and not a contractual entitlement.

Alera may, in its sole discretion:

Accept or reject any application;
Request identification, tax documentation, business records, channel information, audience information, prior affiliate results, or other verification;
Approve only certain websites, accounts, platforms, jurisdictions, products, or promotional methods;
Place an Affiliate on probation;
Limit, suspend, or deactivate an Affiliate’s links or codes;
Withhold or place a reserve against pending commissions;
Refuse particular traffic sources or transactions;
Require additional compliance training;
Require preapproval of any or all content;
Change commission rates, customer discounts, attribution windows, payout schedules, or promotional benefits prospectively;
Discontinue particular products or campaigns;
Suspend or discontinue the Program; or
Terminate an Affiliate at any time, with or without cause or advance notice.

Alera has no obligation to provide a reason for rejecting, suspending, restricting, or terminating an Affiliate.

You must provide complete, truthful, current information and promptly update any information that changes. You are responsible for safeguarding your affiliate account and credentials and for every action taken through your account.

Alera may require a higher-volume Affiliate to maintain appropriate commercial general liability, media liability, cyber liability, or other insurance and provide evidence of coverage.

4. Independent Contractor Relationship

Affiliate is an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, legal representative, joint venturer, franchisee, broker, distributor, or partner of Alera.

Nothing in this Agreement authorizes Affiliate to:

Bind Alera to any contract;
Make commitments or warranties on Alera’s behalf;
Collect payments for Alera;
Accept orders on Alera’s behalf;
Provide customer-service resolutions on Alera’s behalf;
Represent that Affiliate is an employee or authorized representative of Alera;
Speak to a regulator, platform, payment processor, press organization, or other party on Alera’s behalf; or
Incur any obligation or expense for Alera.

The Program is nonexclusive. Alera may operate other referral, influencer, publisher, wholesale, coupon, customer-referral, or affiliate arrangements on different terms.

Affiliate is responsible for all operating expenses, equipment, personnel, insurance, registrations, licenses, taxes, and other obligations associated with Affiliate’s activities.

5. Research-Use-Only Policy

Statements suggesting that consumers can reproduce results reported in human clinical studies;
“Research” wording used merely as a device to communicate expected human-use outcomes;

Euphemisms, abbreviations, misspellings, coded words, or visual signals intended to conceal or evade the foregoing restrictions.

5.3 Bacteriostatic water, diluents, and related supplies

Unless Alera gives case-specific written authorization, Affiliate shall not advertise, feature, display, bundle, cross-link, or discuss bacteriostatic water, sterile water, syringes, needles, diluents, or similar supplies in connection with any peptide or other Alera product.

Under no circumstances may an Affiliate state or imply that bacteriostatic water or any other diluent should be used to prepare an Alera peptide for injection, administration, consumption, or personal use.

5.4 Scientific literature and research claims

Affiliate may refer to scientific literature, pathways, mechanisms, studies, or research findings only when:

Alera has approved the exact content in writing;
The statement accurately reflects the cited source;
The source is appropriately identified;
The content does not extrapolate laboratory findings into human-use recommendations;
The content does not communicate an expected health or body outcome;
The content does not omit material qualifications; and
The content remains consistent with Alera’s research-use-only positioning.

Affiliate may truthfully describe Alera’s currently published prices, checkout process, shipping practices, packaging, customer support, and testing documentation, but only using current Company-approved information.

Purity, identity, analytical-testing, third-party-testing, or Certificate of Analysis claims must accurately correspond to the specific product or batch and may not be modified, exaggerated, or generalized beyond the documentation supplied by Alera.

Affiliate shall not conceal the nature of the promotion, cloak content, use evasive redirects, intentionally misspell product terms, substitute coded terms, or otherwise attempt to evade platform review, regulatory scrutiny, payment-processor rules, or Alera’s compliance monitoring.

Alera’s approval of content does not constitute legal advice, a warranty of platform acceptance, or a representation that the content is lawful in every jurisdiction. Affiliate remains responsible for Affiliate’s own conduct.

Affiliate shall notify Alera within twenty-four hours after becoming aware of:

Any regulatory inquiry concerning Alera or an Alera promotion;
A platform warning, rejection, suspension, or account restriction involving Alera;
A subpoena, demand, complaint, or legal claim concerning the Program;
A consumer complaint alleging injury, misuse, deception, or unauthorized charges;
A data-security incident involving Program information; or
Any actual or suspected material violation of this Agreement.

Affiliate shall preserve relevant records and cooperate reasonably with Alera’s investigation and response.

7. Required Affiliate and Advertising Disclosures

Affiliate must clearly and conspicuously disclose the material relationship with Alera in each endorsement or promotional communication.

A suitable baseline disclosure is:

Advertisement / Paid affiliate link: I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. Alera Research products are sold solely for legitimate laboratory research and are not for human or veterinary use.

Alera may require different or additional disclosure language for a particular campaign or platform.

Required disclosures must:

Be placed with the endorsement itself;
Be visible without requiring the user to open a profile or click “more”;

Be included in each separate promotional post; and
Be used in addition to any platform-provided paid-partnership tool.

Affiliate shall not publish fake reviews, fabricated testimonials, undisclosed endorsements, incentivized reviews without authorization, or statements that do not reflect the Affiliate’s honest opinion regarding matters the Affiliate can legitimately evaluate.

Affiliate may describe its actual experience with Alera’s website, shipping, support, or order process. Affiliate may not claim personal biological experience with an Alera product.

8. Content Approval, Monitoring, and Removal

8.1 Preapproval

14.1 Compensation terms

Affiliate’s commission rate, customer discount, attribution period, payout threshold, payout method, and campaign bonuses will be shown in the affiliate portal or in a written campaign offer.

When multiple affiliates, coupons, campaigns, or marketing channels are involved, Alera may determine the appropriate attribution or determine that no commission is payable.

Affiliate acknowledges that cookies may be blocked or deleted, customers may change devices, codes may be omitted, and tracking systems may occasionally fail. Alera does not guarantee that every referral will be tracked.

14.5 Pending commissions

Amounts shown as “pending,” “estimated,” or similar language are provisional estimates only. A commission is not earned, vested, or payable until Alera validates and approves it.

The limitations applicable to Alera do not limit Affiliate’s confidentiality, indemnification, fraud, intellectual-property, repayment, or compliance obligations.

21. Term and Termination

This Agreement begins when Affiliate first accepts or participates in the Program and continues until terminated.

21.1 Termination by Alera

Material economic changes will generally apply prospectively and may be communicated through the portal, email, or posting of updated terms.

Affiliate’s continued participation after the effective date of an amendment constitutes acceptance. Affiliate’s sole remedy if Affiliate does not agree to an amendment is to terminate participation before the amendment becomes applicable.

Alera may change or discontinue products, prices, discounts, links, codes, software, vendors, payment methods, campaigns, or the Program without liability.

23. Governing Law and Disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

The state and federal courts located in Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Program, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

Either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief for intellectual-property misuse, confidentiality breaches, fraud, regulatory risk, prohibited claims, or other conduct for which monetary damages would be inadequate.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY.

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. AFFILIATE WAIVES PARTICIPATION IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

To the extent legally permitted, a claim arising from the Program must be filed within one year after the claim accrued or it will be permanently barred.

The affiliate portal;
Affiliate’s registered email address;
An account notification;

Another reasonable electronic method.

Electronic notices are effective when sent or posted.
