Affiliate compliance agreement

Affiliate is an independent contractor and is not an employee, agent, legal representative, partner, joint venturer, franchisee, or owner of Texas Performance Labs.

Nothing in this Agreement creates an employer-employee relationship.

Affiliate is not entitled to employee benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment benefits, health insurance, retirement benefits, paid leave, or any other employee benefit.

Affiliate is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes arising from commissions or other compensation received through the program.

Affiliate has no authority to enter into contracts, make commitments, incur obligations, make warranties, or otherwise bind Texas Performance Labs.

Affiliate understands and agrees that Texas Performance Labs products are marketed and sold solely for legitimate laboratory research purposes.

Affiliate shall never state, imply, suggest, demonstrate, encourage, or permit others acting on Affiliate's behalf to represent that any TPL product is intended for:

Affiliate may not use language, imagery, demonstrations, testimonials, instructions, or contextual clues that reasonably suggest human use.

The fact that a product is labeled "For Research Use Only" does not by itself cure marketing that otherwise indicates human or clinical use; FDA guidance places significant weight on intended-use signals in labeling and promotional context.

Affiliate may not provide or publish:

Affiliate may not answer customer questions concerning how an individual should use, inject, consume, dose, administer, or combine any Texas Performance Labs product.

Questions involving human or animal use must not be answered by Affiliate.

Affiliate may not make any express or implied claim that a Texas Performance Labs product:

Affiliate may discuss only Company-approved research information and must present it in the manner authorized by Texas Performance Labs.

Affiliate shall not make any statement that is false, misleading, deceptive, exaggerated, unsubstantiated, or likely to create a false impression.

Affiliate may not make unsupported claims concerning:

Only claims specifically authorized by Texas Performance Labs may be used.

FTC rules and guidance prohibit deceptive endorsements and can hold endorsers responsible for misleading statements or failures to disclose material connections.

Affiliate may not publish personal testimonials describing use of a Texas Performance Labs research product in a human or animal.

Prohibited examples include statements such as:

Before-and-after photographs, transformation photographs, injection videos, syringe photographs, or similar content suggesting human use are prohibited.

Affiliate must clearly and conspicuously disclose their financial relationship with Texas Performance Labs whenever promoting the Company.

Acceptable disclosures may include:

The disclosure must appear where consumers are likely to notice it and must not be hidden in a long list of hashtags, buried on another page, or placed somewhere consumers are unlikely to see it. FTC guidance specifically calls for disclosure of affiliate relationships near promotional content and links.

Affiliate should use Company-approved:

Texas Performance Labs may require removal or modification of any marketing content at any time.

Affiliate agrees to promptly comply with any such request.

Unless approved in writing by Texas Performance Labs, Affiliate may not:

Affiliate may not create a website, storefront, marketplace listing, or landing page that could reasonably appear to be owned or operated by Texas Performance Labs without written authorization.

Affiliate must clearly identify independently operated websites as independent affiliate properties.

Texas Performance Labs retains all rights in its:

Affiliate receives a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use approved Company materials solely for participation in the Affiliate Program.

Affiliate may not modify Company logos or branding without written authorization.

Texas Performance Labs may provide Affiliate with unique:

These remain the property of Texas Performance Labs and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.

Affiliate may not artificially generate commissions by manipulating links, cookies, attribution systems, or customer information.

Unless Texas Performance Labs expressly permits otherwise, Affiliate may not earn commissions on:

Commissions are earned only on eligible, verified, paid customer transactions attributed to Affiliate under the Company's tracking system.

Commissions are not earned on:

Texas Performance Labs' determination regarding attribution and commission eligibility shall control absent clear error.

If a transaction is refunded, cancelled, charged back, determined to be fraudulent, or otherwise becomes ineligible, Texas Performance Labs may reverse any corresponding commission.

If the commission has already been paid, Texas Performance Labs may deduct the amount from future payments where lawful.

Affiliate compensation is based solely on qualifying referral activity.

Affiliate is not paid:

Affiliate determines when, where, and whether to promote Texas Performance Labs, subject to compliance with this Agreement.

Texas Performance Labs makes no guarantee regarding:

Affiliate may not make misleading income claims when recruiting or discussing the affiliate opportunity.

FTC enforcement has repeatedly focused on deceptive earnings claims and compensation systems that emphasize recruiting rather than legitimate customer sales.

Unless Texas Performance Labs establishes a separate written program, Affiliate earns commissions only on Affiliate's own qualifying referrals.

Affiliate does not receive compensation merely for recruiting another affiliate.

This program is intended to reward legitimate customer sales rather than recruitment activity. FTC guidance treats compensation incentives and the focus on sales versus recruitment as important considerations in evaluating MLM structures.

When promoting Texas Performance Labs on social media, Affiliate must:

Affiliate is responsible for comments or replies they personally make on their promotional posts.

Texas Performance Labs may monitor Affiliate marketing activity to protect the Company, customers, and program.

Affiliate agrees that Texas Performance Labs may request:

Affiliate must reasonably cooperate with compliance reviews.

If Texas Performance Labs determines that content violates this Agreement, Affiliate must remove or correct the content immediately upon request.

Failure to promptly comply may result in suspension or termination.

Texas Performance Labs may suspend or terminate an Affiliate at any time for violation of this Agreement or conduct that the Company reasonably believes creates legal, regulatory, reputational, or commercial risk.

Grounds may include:

Serious violations involving human use or deceptive claims may result in immediate termination without prior warning.

Upon termination:

To the extent permitted by law, Affiliate agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Texas Performance Labs and its owners, managers, officers, employees, and agents from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from Affiliate's:

Affiliate may not sell, transfer, assign, sublicense, or otherwise transfer participation in the program without written approval from Texas Performance Labs.

Texas Performance Labs may modify:

Affiliate will be provided reasonable notice of material changes where appropriate.

Continued participation after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Participation in the Texas Performance Labs Affiliate Program is a privilege, not a contractual right to perpetual participation.

Texas Performance Labs may discontinue the program or an Affiliate's participation as permitted by this Agreement.

Failure by Texas Performance Labs to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.

If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.

This Agreement, together with any written Affiliate Program policies incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement concerning Affiliate's participation in the program.

Affiliate agrees that checking an acceptance box, submitting an application, signing electronically, or otherwise affirmatively accepting this Agreement constitutes an electronic signature and agreement to be legally bound.
