By submitting a wholesale application, placing an order, or purchasing products from Amino Connection, Buyer acknowledges and agrees to the terms contained in this Agreement.

“Wholesale Order” means an order placed by an approved Buyer for Products offered through Amino Connection’s wholesale program.

3. Wholesale Eligibility

Wholesale purchasing is available only to approved businesses, organizations, laboratories, researchers, and other qualified entities.

Amino Connection reserves the right to:

• Verify Buyer information and business credentials.
• Request additional documentation.
• Approve or decline any wholesale account.
• Suspend or terminate an account if the Buyer fails to comply with this Agreement.
• Decline any order that Amino Connection reasonably believes may violate applicable laws, regulations, or Company policies.

Approval of a wholesale account does not guarantee acceptance of every future order.

4. Research Use Only

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, all applicable Products supplied by Amino Connection are sold as Research Use Only (RUO) materials.

Products are not represented or marketed as drugs, dietary supplements, medical devices, medical treatments, diagnostic products, products approved for human consumption, or products approved for veterinary or animal consumption.

Buyer agrees not to represent, advertise, label, or market Products in a manner inconsistent with their intended research use.

Buyer is solely responsible for ensuring that its use, handling, storage, distribution, and marketing of Products complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

5. Product Documentation & Quality

Amino Connection may provide available product documentation, which may include Certificates of Analysis (COAs), identity testing, purity testing, analytical testing, molecular-weight verification, batch information, and other applicable technical documentation.

Documentation applies to the specific batch tested and should not be interpreted as a representation that every batch will have identical analytical results.

Unless expressly stated in writing, Amino Connection does not warrant that a Product is suitable for any particular research application.

6. Orders

All wholesale orders must be submitted through an approved Amino Connection ordering channel.

Amino Connection reserves the right to confirm or reject an order, correct obvious pricing or ordering errors, limit quantities, delay fulfillment when additional information or verification is required, or cancel an order when fulfillment would create a compliance, regulatory, payment, or operational concern.

An order is not considered accepted until confirmed by Amino Connection.

7. Payment Terms

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, payment is due at the time of order.

Approved payment methods may include ACH, wire transfer, electronic payment, or other methods authorized by Amino Connection.

Amino Connection may place an account on hold for outstanding balances, failed payments, payment disputes, chargebacks, or repeated late payments.

Wholesale pricing and payment terms may vary by account and may be modified upon written notice.

8. Shipping & Delivery

Amino Connection will make commercially reasonable efforts to process and ship orders within the estimated processing timeframe provided at the time of purchase.

Processing time and shipping time are separate. Shipping dates and delivery estimates provided by Amino Connection or a carrier are estimates and are not guaranteed unless expressly agreed to in writing.

Amino Connection is not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather, natural disasters, government actions, supply-chain disruptions, incorrect shipping information, or events outside Amino Connection’s reasonable control.

9. Shipping Information

Buyer is responsible for providing an accurate shipping address and contact information.

Amino Connection is not responsible for loss, delay, redirection, or additional shipping costs resulting from an incorrect or incomplete shipping address supplied by Buyer.

Claims must be submitted within the applicable notification period.

12. Product Use & Buyer Responsibility

Buyer acknowledges that research-use materials may involve inherent risks associated with their handling and use.

13. Compliance With Laws

Buyer is solely responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the purchase, possession, handling, research, storage, distribution, resale, and use of Products.

Amino Connection does not provide legal, medical, regulatory, or tax advice to Buyer.

Buyer should obtain its own professional advice regarding the laws and regulations applicable to its activities.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Amino Connection shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, or goodwill.

Amino Connection’s aggregate liability relating to a Product or order shall not exceed the amount actually paid to Amino Connection for the specific Product giving rise to the claim.

17. Confidentiality

Buyer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of non-public information provided by Amino Connection, including proprietary business information, pricing, sourcing information, technical documentation, product information, and other confidential materials.

This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available through no fault of Buyer or that Buyer is legally required to disclose.

Either party may terminate the wholesale relationship upon written notice.

Amino Connection may immediately suspend or terminate an account for non-payment, fraudulent activity, misrepresentation, violation of this Agreement, suspected unlawful activity, improper use or distribution of Products, or conduct that creates material regulatory or reputational risk for Amino Connection.

Termination does not eliminate obligations that accrued before termination.
