Effective date: July 24, 2026. These terms govern participation in the Helixa Biotech referral program. By enrolling, generating a referral code, or checking the acceptance box at signup, you agree to them.
1. Introduction and Acceptance
1.1 This Referral & Affiliate Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Helixa Biotech (“Helixa,” “we,” or “us”), and the individual or entity enrolling as a referrer (“you” or the “Referrer”). It governs your participation in the Helixa Biotech referral program (the “Program”).
1.2 By enrolling in the Program, generating a referral code, or checking the box indicating acceptance at signup, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not participate in the Program.
2. Eligibility
2.1 You must be at least 21 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement.
2.2 You must provide accurate enrollment and payout information and keep it current.
2.3 Participation is void where prohibited. You are responsible for ensuring that your participation and promotional activities are lawful in every jurisdiction you operate in or target.
3. Referral Codes and Enrollment
3.1 On enrollment, Helixa issues you a unique referral code. When a customer applies your code at checkout, the customer receives a discount and you may earn a commission as described in Section 4.
3.2 Your code is personal to you and non-transferable. You may not operate multiple accounts or codes without Helixa’s written consent.
3.3 Helixa may modify, suspend, or revoke any code or account at any time, including where it detects misuse, fraud, or a breach of this Agreement.
4. Commissions and Buyer Discount
4.1 Buyer discount. A customer who applies your code receives 10% off the eligible items in their order, subject to program rules and any usage limits.
4.2 Commission. You earn a commission of 10% of the item subtotal (after the buyer discount and excluding shipping, taxes, and fees) on each qualifying order placed with your code, once that order reaches a fulfilled status (for example, “processing” or “completed”).
4.3 Self-referrals excluded. You may not earn commission on your own purchases or on orders placed using your own contact details. Orders whose billing email matches your registered email will not generate a commission.
4.4 Reversals. Commission is contingent on the order being paid and fulfilled. If an order is later cancelled, refunded, charged back, or found to be fraudulent, any related unpaid commission is void, and any commission already paid may be deducted from future payouts or reclaimed.
4.5 Commissions are earned only for orders resulting from promotion that complies with this Agreement.
5. Payment Terms
5.1 Payouts are made manually by Interac e-Transfer or cryptocurrency to the payout details you provide. You are responsible for the accuracy of those details; Helixa is not liable for funds sent to an incorrect address that you supplied.
5.2 Helixa may set a minimum payout threshold of $50 CAD and a regular payout schedule. Balances below the threshold roll over to the next period.
5.3 Helixa reviews commissions before payout and may withhold or delay payment pending verification of compliance, order validity, or your identity and payout details.
5.4 All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.
6. Taxes and Independent Contractor Status
6.1 You participate as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint-venture relationship.
6.2 You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes on the commissions you earn. Helixa does not withhold taxes from payouts.
6.3 Where required by law, Helixa may request tax information from you and may report amounts paid to you to the relevant tax authorities (for example, on a T4A slip). Helixa may withhold payment until you provide the required information.
7. Promotion Standards — Research-Use-Only Compliance
7.1 Helixa products are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and development. They are not for human or animal consumption and are not for diagnostic or therapeutic use (“Research Use Only” or “RUO”).
7.2 All of your promotion must be consistent with the RUO framing. You must not, directly or by implication:
- make or suggest any medical, therapeutic, diagnostic, disease-treatment, or health benefit;
- describe or imply human or animal use, dosing, administration, or consumption;
- make claims about safety, efficacy, results, or outcomes;
- use before/after imagery, personal-use testimonials, or anecdotes implying human use;
- target minors or persons under 21, or audiences seeking products for human use;
- state or imply that the products are drugs, dietary supplements, or approved by any regulatory authority.
7.3 You must not represent that you are an employee, agent, or spokesperson of Helixa, or that you can bind Helixa.
7.4 Where required by applicable advertising or endorsement rules, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose that you receive a commission or other benefit for referrals.
7.5 You are responsible for the content of all of your promotions and for their compliance with the law and this Agreement.
8. Prohibited Conduct
In addition to Section 7, you must not:
8.1 send spam or unsolicited bulk communications, or otherwise violate anti-spam laws, including Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”);
8.2 make false, misleading, or deceptive statements, or engage in false or misleading advertising;
8.3 run paid advertising that violates the ad platform’s policies, bids on or misuses Helixa’s trademarks, or implies human use;
8.4 register domain names, social accounts, or handles that impersonate or could be confused with Helixa;
8.5 offer unauthorized discounts, rebates, cashback, or incentives in Helixa’s name;
8.6 post codes to coupon, deal, or cashback aggregator sites without Helixa’s written consent;
8.7 use cookie-stuffing, forced clicks, malware, or other deceptive technical methods; or
8.8 place codes in a manner intended to capture organic or existing-customer traffic that you did not generate.
9. Use of the Helixa Biotech Brand and Materials
9.1 Helixa grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Helixa Biotech name and logo solely to promote the products in accordance with this Agreement and any brand guidelines Helixa provides.
9.2 You must not alter Helixa’s marks or use them in a disparaging, misleading, or non-compliant way. All goodwill arising from your use benefits Helixa.
9.3 This license ends automatically on termination of this Agreement or the Program.
10. Compliance with Laws
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with your participation, including consumer-protection, advertising, anti-spam, privacy, and import/export laws. You are responsible for the legality of your promotional activities in every jurisdiction you target.
11. Term and Termination
11.1 This Agreement begins when you enroll and continues until terminated.
11.2 Either party may terminate at any time, for any reason, on notice (including by Helixa disabling your code or account).
11.3 On termination without cause, Helixa will pay commissions properly earned before termination for compliant referrals, subject to the payment terms and any threshold.
11.4 Helixa may terminate immediately and may withhold or reverse commissions if you breach this Agreement, engage in fraud or non-compliant promotion, or bring Helixa into disrepute.
11.5 Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6 (Taxes), 13 (Disclaimers), 14 (Limitation of Liability), 15 (Indemnification), and 17 (General) — survive.
12. Relationship of the Parties
The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create any employment, agency, partnership, joint-venture, or franchise relationship, and neither party may bind the other.
13. Disclaimers
13.1 The Program is provided “as is.” Helixa does not guarantee any minimum earnings, order volume, code availability, or uptime.
13.2 Helixa is not responsible for your promotional content, methods, or results, or for the acts or omissions of any customer.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Helixa is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits. Helixa’s total liability under this Agreement will not exceed the total commissions paid to you in the 6 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
15. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless Helixa and its owners, officers, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your participation, your promotional content or methods, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
16. Changes to the Program or Agreement
Helixa may modify the Program or this Agreement — including commission rates, discounts, and terms — at any time. Material changes will be communicated by a reasonable method, such as email or by posting an updated version. Your continued participation after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. Changes do not apply retroactively to commissions already earned.
17. General
17.1 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of British Columbia have jurisdiction, subject to any non-waivable rights you have under the law of your place of residence.
17.2 Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with any program rules Helixa publishes, is the entire agreement between the parties on this subject and supersedes prior discussions.
17.3 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
17.4 Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement without Helixa’s consent; Helixa may assign it in connection with a sale or reorganization of its business.
17.5 Waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
17.6 Notices. Helixa may give notice to you by email to the address on file. You may contact Helixa at support@hbpeptide.is.
18. Acceptance
By enrolling in the Program, generating a referral code, or checking the acceptance box at signup, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Agreement.
