Participation is subject to:

1. These Terms.
2. The applicable Affiliate Agreement.
3. Applicable affiliate-program policies.
4. Written commission terms issued by Hi-Tech Peptides.

Where a separately executed Affiliate Agreement expressly conflicts with these general Terms concerning commission percentage, referral attribution, or another affiliate-specific commercial term, the separately executed Affiliate Agreement controls except that the payment schedule stated below will control unless the separate agreement expressly states otherwise.

70. AFFILIATE REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Before any commission becomes payable, the Affiliate must complete all onboarding and registration requirements requested by Hi-Tech Peptides.

Required information may include:

1. Full legal name.
2. Business name.

Hi-Tech Peptides may provide W-9s and onboarding forms through:

1. Email.
2. Electronic signature systems.
3. Affiliate portals.
4. Other electronic methods.

The Affiliate is responsible for timely completion and return.

Hi-Tech Peptides may withhold payments until a valid W-9 and all other required tax and payment documentation have been received.

Such withholding does not constitute late payment or breach by Hi-Tech Peptides.

72. ACCURACY OF AFFILIATE TAX AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

The Affiliate represents and warrants that all tax and payment information is complete, truthful, current, and accurate.

The Affiliate must promptly notify Hi-Tech Peptides of changes involving:

4. Address.
5. Taxpayer identification number.
6. Employer Identification Number.

74. AFFILIATE MONTHLY ACCOUNTING PERIOD

Affiliate commissions will be accounted for on a calendar-month basis.

Each accounting period begins on the first calendar day of the month and ends on the last calendar day of that month.

Only qualifying transactions for which Hi-Tech Peptides has actually received and cleared the applicable customer payment will be included.

An order is not commissionable merely because it was submitted.

The underlying payment must be received, cleared, and available to Hi-Tech Peptides.

75. AFFILIATE PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Subject to all applicable conditions, earned affiliate commissions will be paid on or about the 15th day of each month for qualifying commissions earned during the immediately preceding calendar month.

Examples:

January qualifying commissions → payable on or about February 15.

February qualifying commissions → payable on or about March 15.

March qualifying commissions → payable on or about April 15.

If the 15th falls on a weekend, federal holiday, banking holiday, or other day when ordinary payment processing is unavailable, payment may be processed on the next reasonably available business day.

This monthly schedule supersedes any prior general practice of paying commissions within three business days after each individual customer payment clears, unless a separately signed Affiliate Agreement expressly provides otherwise.

77. PAYMENT HOLD FOR MISSING DOCUMENTATION

Amounts otherwise earned may remain on hold until required documentation is supplied and verified.

After the deficiency is cured, Hi-Tech Peptides may include the held amount in the next regular payment cycle.

Hi-Tech Peptides is not required to make an off-cycle payment because an Affiliate failed to timely complete onboarding requirements.

78. AFFILIATE REFUNDS, RETURNS, CHARGEBACKS, AND REVERSALS

Affiliate commissions are calculated only on qualifying amounts actually collected and retained by Hi-Tech Peptides.

6. Payment reversals.
7. Fraudulent transactions.

1. Deduct the commission from future payments.
2. Offset the amount against other sums payable.
3. Require reimbursement where no future commissions are available.

79. AFFILIATE INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS

If a qualifying customer transaction is paid in installments, Affiliate commissions will be calculated only upon each installment actually received and cleared.

5. Commission earned.
6. Adjustments.
7. Refunds.

81. AFFILIATE DUTY TO REVIEW ACCOUNTING

Unless applicable law requires a longer period, an Affiliate should report a commission-accounting discrepancy within thirty days after receiving the applicable payment or statement.

Reasonably documented discrepancies will be reviewed in good faith.

82. NO CASH OR UNREGISTERED AFFILIATE PAYMENTS

1. Cash payments.
2. Payments to unidentified third parties.
3. Payments to unverified accounts.
4. Payment methods creating material accounting, tax, fraud, or compliance concerns.

Hi-Tech Peptides may require verification before redirecting payments.

1. Wages.
2. Salary.
3. Payroll compensation.
4. Employee benefits.
5. Guaranteed income.

survive termination of an Affiliate relationship to the extent necessary to complete accounting or enforce obligations.

3. Employment.
4. Agency.
5. Franchise.

“Dispute” is intended to receive the broadest meaning permitted by law.

97. MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION

EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT APPLICABLE LAW EXPRESSLY PROHIBITS FROM BEING ARBITRATED OR LIMITED COURT PROCEEDINGS EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BELOW, EVERY DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

NEITHER PARTY MAY COMMENCE OR MAINTAIN ORDINARY CIVIL LITIGATION CONCERNING A COVERED DISPUTE.

If a covered Dispute is filed in court, either party may seek an order compelling arbitration and staying or dismissing the judicial proceeding as permitted by law.

98. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT

The parties acknowledge that Hi-Tech Peptides transactions may involve interstate commerce.

The arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., to the maximum extent applicable.

Florida arbitration law shall supplement federal arbitration law where legally appropriate.

99. FLORIDA GOVERNING LAW

Except where federal law or another nonwaivable law controls, the validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

100. DELEGATION OF ARBITRABILITY

Except for questions concerning whether an agreement to arbitrate was actually formed, whether the person accepting had authority to bind the applicable party, and questions that applicable law expressly requires a court to decide, the parties expressly and unmistakably delegate to the arbitrator exclusive authority to determine disputes concerning:

1. Interpretation of the arbitration agreement.
2. Scope of arbitration.
3. Applicability of arbitration.
4. Whether a particular claim falls within arbitration.
5. Enforceability of the arbitration agreement.
6. Validity of the arbitration agreement.
7. Satisfaction of conditions precedent.
8. Waiver relating to arbitration.
9. Timeliness.
10. Procedural arbitrability.
11. Arbitration procedures.

The parties intend this delegation clause itself to constitute an independent agreement.

101. INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Before initiating arbitration, the complaining party must provide a written Notice of Dispute containing:

1. Identifying information.
2. Account, transaction, Affiliate, or order information where applicable.
3. Detailed description of the dispute.
4. Relevant facts.
5. Amount sought.
6. Relief requested.
7. Claimant signature.
8. Counsel information if represented.
9. Reasonably available supporting documents.

The parties shall participate in a good-faith individualized telephone or videoconference.

Counsel may participate, but the claimant must personally participate unless legally excused.

Completion of this procedure is a condition precedent to arbitration.

102. AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION

Unless the parties subsequently agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the applicable rules in effect when arbitration is commenced.

Where a proceeding constitutes a consumer arbitration, applicable mandatory AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and Consumer Due Process requirements shall apply to the extent they cannot legally be modified.

If AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer a particular arbitration, the parties shall attempt to agree upon another nationally recognized arbitration administrator.

If no agreement is reached, a court may appoint or designate an appropriate administrator or arbitrator solely for that limited purpose without permitting litigation of the underlying merits.

103. BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA ARBITRATION SITUS

The contractual and legal situs of arbitration shall be:

BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA

except where nonwaivable law or mandatory arbitration rules require otherwise.

Hearings may occur in person, remotely, by videoconference, telephone, or written submissions without changing the legal situs.

104. AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY

For purposes of determining the number of arbitrators, the “Amount in Controversy” means the total monetary relief affirmatively sought by the claimant, including:

1. Compensatory damages.
2. Statutory damages.
3. Punitive damages.
4. Restitution.
5. Reimbursement.
6. Indemnification.
7. Affiliate commissions.
8. Other monetary relief.

Ordinary arbitration fees and attorneys’ fees incurred solely because the proceeding exists are not included unless they independently constitute substantive underlying damages.

A claimant may not artificially split substantially related claims to avoid the three-arbitrator requirement

105. THREE ARBITRATOR PANEL FOR DISPUTES ABOVE $1,500

Any covered Dispute where the Amount in Controversy exceeds One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) shall be determined by a panel of three qualified arbitrators, subject to mandatory consumer-arbitration rules that cannot lawfully be modified.

The panel shall be selected as follows:

1. Hi-Tech Peptides selects one qualified neutral arbitrator from the administrator’s roster.
2. The opposing party selects one qualified neutral arbitrator.
3. The two selected arbitrators select a third independent neutral arbitrator to serve as chair.
4. All arbitrators must satisfy applicable impartiality, independence, disclosure, and conflict requirements.
5. If a party fails to timely appoint its arbitrator, AAA may make the appointment.
6. If the first two arbitrators cannot agree upon the third arbitrator within fifteen calendar days, AAA may appoint the chair.
7. A majority decision controls.

106. CONSUMER COST SAVINGS AND ARBITRATION PRESERVATION

The parties intend the three-arbitrator requirement to apply to disputes above $1,500 without making arbitration legally inaccessible to a consumer.

Where mandatory consumer-arbitration rules require Hi-Tech Peptides to bear particular arbitration expenses, Hi-Tech Peptides will bear such amounts as required.

If mandatory rules prevent use of a three-arbitrator panel in a particular consumer case, the dispute shall nevertheless remain subject to binding arbitration and proceed before the maximum number of arbitrators lawfully permitted.

The inability to enforce a particular panel-size requirement does not convert the Dispute into ordinary court litigation.

107. SINGLE ARBITRATOR FOR OTHER DISPUTES

Disputes involving an Amount in Controversy of $1,500 or less will ordinarily be resolved by one neutral arbitrator unless applicable law or mandatory arbitration rules require otherwise

108. ARBITRATOR NEUTRALITY

Every arbitrator must be independent and impartial.

A party-appointed arbitrator does not serve as an advocate for the appointing party.

109. ARBITRATOR AUTHORITY

Subject to applicable law, the arbitrator or panel may determine issues concerning:

1. Contract interpretation.
2. Performance.
3. Arbitrability as delegated herein.
4. Damages.
5. Affiliate commissions.
6. Indemnification.
7. Discovery.
8. Evidence.
9. Attorneys’ fees where authorized.
10. Declaratory relief.
11. Arbitral injunctive relief.
12. Sanctions.
13. Costs.

110. WRITTEN AWARD

The arbitrator or panel shall issue a written final award containing essential findings and conclusions where required by applicable rules or properly requested.

The award is final and binding subject only to review permitted by applicable arbitration law.

111. CONFIDENTIALITY OF ARBITRATION

To the maximum extent permitted by law, nonpublic arbitration proceedings, discovery, testimony, documents, and awards shall remain confidential except where disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

1. Conduct arbitration.
2. Obtain professional advice.
3. Enforce an award.
4. Seek permitted judicial relief.
5. Comply with law.
6. Respond to governmental process.

112. EXPRESS WAIVER OF ORDINARY COURT TRIAL

YOU AND HI-TECH PEPTIDES EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE THAT COVERED DISPUTES SHALL NOT BE RESOLVED THROUGH AN ORDINARY CIVIL TRIAL IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

THE PARTIES ARE CHOOSING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF ORDINARY COURT LITIGATION.

113. JURY TRIAL WAIVER

YOU AND HI-TECH PEPTIDES EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY, AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CONSTITUTIONAL, STATUTORY, OR OTHER RIGHT TO HAVE A COVERED DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY.

WHERE A NONARBITRABLE MATTER IS LAWFULLY HEARD IN COURT, THE PARTIES ALSO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

114. CLASS, COLLECTIVE, MASS, AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WAIVER

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EVERY DISPUTE MUST BE BROUGHT AND RESOLVED ONLY IN THE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY OF THE PERSON OR ENTITY ASSERTING IT.

NO PARTY MAY SEEK TO HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS:

1. A class action.
2. A collective action.
3. A mass action.
4. A representative action.
5. A private attorney general action.
6. A class-wide arbitration.
7. A proceeding on behalf of unrelated customers or Affiliates.

The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual claimant except where applicable nonwaivable law provides otherwise.

115. NO CONSOLIDATION

Separate disputes may not be consolidated, coordinated, or joined without written consent of all affected parties except where mandatory law or nonwaivable arbitration rules require otherwise.

116. SEVERABILITY OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE WAIVERS

If a court with lawful authority determines that a particular portion of the class or representative-action waiver cannot legally be enforced as to a particular claim or remedy, only that portion shall be severed to the minimum extent legally necessary.

All remaining arbitrable claims shall continue in arbitration.

117. LIMITED COURT PROCEEDINGS

Nothing in this arbitration agreement prevents a party from seeking judicial relief solely for:

1. Compelling arbitration.
2. Staying litigation pending arbitration.
3. Appointment of an arbitrator where legally authorized.
4. Temporary or emergency relief necessary to preserve the status quo.
5. Protection of intellectual property.
6. Protection of confidential information.
7. Prevention of fraud.
8. Preservation of evidence.
9. Confirmation of an arbitration award.
10. Enforcement of an arbitration award.
11. Modification or vacation of an award where legally authorized.

Seeking these limited remedies does not waive arbitration of the underlying merits.

118. CONSENT TO FLORIDA PERSONAL JURISDICTION

For court proceedings expressly permitted under this Agreement, each party irrevocably consents, to the maximum extent legally permissible, to personal jurisdiction in the State of Florida.

119. EXCLUSIVE BROWARD COUNTY COURT VENUE

For judicial proceedings expressly permitted under these Terms, exclusive venue shall lie in the appropriate state court located in:

Broward County, Florida

or, where federal subject-matter jurisdiction exists:

the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties waive objections based upon:

1. Personal jurisdiction.
2. Improper venue.
3. Forum non conveniens.
4. Residence outside Florida.
5. Inconvenience.

This provision does not authorize litigation of a Dispute otherwise required to be arbitrated.

120. ENFORCEMENT OF ARBITRATION AWARDS

Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered and enforced in any court having lawful jurisdiction.

121. ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS

Where authorized by applicable law, arbitration rules, or contract, the prevailing party may recover reasonable:

1. Attorneys’ fees.
2. Expert expenses.
3. Arbitration expenses.
4. Enforcement expenses.
5. Court costs.

Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to pay fees that mandatory arbitration rules prohibit shifting to that consumer.

122. ANTI-CIRCUMVENTION OF ARBITRATION

A party may not avoid arbitration by:
