BioChain USA Affiliate Program: Compliance Training and Certification

For: Applicants and approved BioChain USA affiliates
Version: 1.0
Effective date: June 8, 2026
Estimated completion time: 45 to 60 minutes

You must pass this training before you receive an active affiliate link or coupon code. This training operationalizes the Master Affiliate Agreement (“Agreement”) and the Code of Conduct. If anything in this training conflicts with the Agreement, the Agreement controls. Completing this training does not reduce, limit, or waive any obligation you owe under the Agreement, and it does not transfer any responsibility, risk, or liability to BioChain USA, LLC or to any of its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, agents, or contractors (together, the “BioChain Parties”).

How this training works

This training has eight modules. Each module ends with a short knowledge check. At the end you complete a final certification quiz and sign the Training Acknowledgment. You must score 100% on the final quiz to be approved. You may retake it as many times as needed.

The training is not legal advice. It tells you how to stay inside the rules BioChain USA sets for its Program. It does not tell you that any specific post is lawful in your situation. You are solely responsible for the legality of everything you publish. The BioChain Parties are not responsible, in any way, shape, or form, for any content you create, publish, or transmit, or for any consequence of it.

Foundational acknowledgment (read before Module 1)

Before you begin, you acknowledge and agree:

  1. You bear all responsibility and all risk. Everything you post, say, write, record, send, or share in connection with BioChain USA is your sole responsibility. You assume all risk associated with your participation in the Program.

  2. The BioChain Parties bear none of it. BioChain USA, LLC and its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, and assigns are not responsible or liable in any way, shape, or form for your conduct, your content, your channels, your audience, your compliance, or any claim, loss, fine, penalty, injury, or damage arising from any of those things.

  3. You indemnify the BioChain Parties. Under Section 12 of the Agreement, you will defend, indemnify, and hold the BioChain Parties harmless from any and all claims arising out of or relating to your participation, your content, or any harm connected to any product, regardless of fault and regardless of whether the BioChain Parties knew of the underlying conduct.

  4. Your liability is uncapped. Under Section 16 of the Agreement, your liability to BioChain USA is unlimited, while BioChain USA’s liability to you is strictly capped.

  5. This training does not shift any of that. Nothing in this training, and nothing said by any BioChain USA staff member, agent, or contractor, reduces your responsibility or increases the responsibility of any BioChain Party.

You will be asked to re-affirm this acknowledgment at the end of the training.

Module 1: What we sell, and why the words matter

BioChain USA sells research-grade peptides as research chemicals. They are sold for laboratory and preclinical research use only. They are not drugs, dietary supplements, foods, cosmetics, or medical devices. They are not for human or animal use.

This single fact drives nearly every rule in the Program. The legal risk in this category comes almost entirely from “intended use.” Regulators, courts, and platforms decide what a product is “intended” for by looking at how it is marketed. If you market a research chemical as if it were a drug, you can convert it, in the eyes of a regulator, into an unapproved new drug. That exposure is the reason the rules below exist.

You market the molecule as a research subject. You never market it as something a person or animal would take. Hold that line and most of the rest follows.

Knowledge check 1
– Q: Are BioChain USA products drugs or supplements? A: No. They are research chemicals sold for laboratory and preclinical research use only.
– Q: Why does marketing language carry legal risk? A: Because “intended use” is judged by how a product is marketed; drug-like marketing can reclassify a research chemical as an unapproved drug.
– Q: Who is responsible for the words you choose? A: You are, solely. The BioChain Parties are not responsible in any way.

Module 2: The five rules that keep you out of trouble

These five rules come straight from the Code of Conduct, Section A. If you remember nothing else, remember these.

  1. Never imply human or animal use. No “take,” “inject,” “apply,” “ingest,” no syringes, no bodies in frame, no use cases.

  2. One prescription-brand mention per post, in a “not the same as” sentence only. You may note once that a molecule is also produced as a pharmaceutical under a brand name, solely to clarify that the research-grade material is NOT that pharmaceutical and is not for human or animal use. You never compare, equate, or recommend substitution.

  3. Disclose the material connection on every post. Every post, story, video, podcast, email, and SMS gets the approved disclosure. No exceptions.

  4. Pre-approval for any custom content. Use the Swipe Copy Library verbatim, or submit your custom draft to affiliate-compliance@biochainusa.com and wait for written approval before posting.

  5. No coaching of customers. Never tell anyone how to reconstitute, dose, administer, store for use, or prepare a product. Refer every such question to the BioChain USA Research-Use Disclaimer page.

Knowledge check 2
– Q: How many times may you mention a prescription brand name per post? A: Once, and only in a sentence clarifying the research material is not that pharmaceutical.
– Q: A follower asks “how much should I use?” What do you do? A: Do not answer. Refer them to the Research-Use Disclaimer page. Coaching is prohibited.

Module 3: Allowed words and automatic-violation words

Words you MAY use (Code of Conduct B.1)

“Research-grade peptide.” “For laboratory and preclinical research use only.” “Tested by an independent US laboratory.” “Certificate of Analysis available per batch.” “Studied in the published literature as a probe of [receptor or pathway].” “Investigated in research models for [mechanism, not outcome].” “Used in published research as a tool compound for [research area].”

You may use “research” freely: research subject, research model, research probe, preclinical research, in vitro research.

Words that are an AUTOMATIC violation (Code of Conduct B.2)

Treat every word below as radioactive. Using any of them, in any framing that suggests the product works on or is used by a person or animal, is an automatic violation:

  • Cure, treat, treatment, heal, prevent, diagnose, diagnosis
  • Therapy, therapeutic, clinical use, clinical application
  • Safe and effective, proven safe, proven effective
  • FDA approved, FDA cleared, FDA tested (except to say the product is NOT FDA approved)
  • Take, ingest, inject, subcutaneous, subq, intramuscular, intranasal, topical, applied
  • Dose, dosage, dosing, administer, administration, mg/kg, mcg/kg
  • Before and after, results in, results from
  • I took this, I used this, I tried this, I felt
  • Guaranteed, money-back results
  • Best, most effective, superior to, better than [drug name]
  • Anti-aging, weight loss, fat loss, muscle gain, performance enhancement, libido, erection, erectile, tanning, skin lightening
  • Patient or patients (except inside a literature citation)
  • Doctor recommended, doctor approved, doctor endorsed

The bright line

The line runs between “research” and “use, treatment, therapy, or patient care.” Stay on the research side.

Knowledge check 3
– Q: Is “this peptide has been studied as a tool compound in tendon-repair research” allowed? A: Yes.
– Q: Is “this peptide heals tendons” allowed? A: No. “Heals” is an automatic violation.
– Q: May you ever say “I tried this and felt great”? A: No. Personal testimonials are never allowed.

Module 4: No testimonials, no clinical outcomes, no Rx substitution

Three patterns end affiliate programs in this category faster than anything else. Each is banned with no exceptions.

No personal testimonials, ever (Code of Conduct B.6). You may not say or imply that you, anyone you know, any pet, any animal, or any human has used a BioChain USA product. There is no “but I worded it carefully” exception.

No clinical-outcome recitation (Code of Conduct B.5). You may link to a peer-reviewed paper or a regulatory document. You may not describe the trial’s outcomes. Reciting outcome numbers (such as weight reductions, lab-value changes, or response rates) for a research-use product is the classic “intended use” trigger and is an automatic violation.

No prescription substitution (Code of Conduct B.4). You may mention a brand name once, only to say the research material is not that pharmaceutical. You may not describe what the brand-name drug treats, its dosing, or its administration, and you may not imply the research product produces the same effect or can be substituted.

Note the brand-naming rule: for the molecule sold as GLP-RT3, you must use “GLP-RT3” only. The word “Retatrutide” is prohibited in any public content.

Knowledge check 4
– Q: May you post “in the trial, subjects lost 22% of body weight”? A: No. That is clinical-outcome recitation and an automatic violation.
– Q: May you write “GLP-RT3 is the same as Retatrutide, just cheaper”? A: No. It uses a prohibited word and implies substitution.

Module 5: Audience, geography, and platforms

US residents only (Code of Conduct C.1). Direct your promotion only to an audience you reasonably believe is US residents physically present in the United States. Include the US-residents-only disclosure on every post.

21+ only (Code of Conduct C.2). Never direct promotion to any audience whose majority you reasonably believe is under 21. Watch TikTok’s algorithmic spread to younger users, kid-flagged YouTube content, unverified Discord servers, and majority-under-21 subreddits. Skip Snap entirely.

Restricted platforms (Code of Conduct C.3). TikTok, Meta (Instagram and Facebook), Snap, and Pinterest restrict or prohibit research-chemical and peptide promotion. Do not promote there without explicit prior written approval from BioChain USA. Relatively permissive for organic content as of publication: X, compliant Reddit subreddits, organic Telegram, personal blogs and newsletters, and host-read podcasts. These policies change constantly; you are responsible for checking the current terms of every platform you use.

State callouts (Code of Conduct C.4). California, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, and Texas have aggressive consumer-protection regimes. You cannot participate at all if you reside in California, Massachusetts, or New Jersey (Agreement Section 3(c)).

No brand-term paid search (Code of Conduct C.5). You may not bid on “BioChain,” “BioChain USA,” any product name, or misspellings on any paid-search platform. Automated audits run continuously, and breach carries per-day liquidated damages.

Knowledge check 5
– Q: Can you run Meta ads for BioChain USA products? A: Not without explicit prior written approval; Meta restricts this category.
– Q: You reside in New Jersey. Can you be an affiliate? A: No. NJ residents are ineligible.

Module 6: Required disclosures

Every single post needs the right disclosures. Missing them is a violation by itself, even if everything else is clean.

Standard material-connection disclosure (Code of Conduct D.1):

#ad. I’m a paid affiliate of BioChain USA, LLC. I earn a commission if you make a purchase using my link or code. BioChain USA products are sold for research use only and are not intended for human or animal use. US residents only.

Short form for character-limited platforms:

#ad I earn commission. Research use only. US only. [link]

Spoken disclosure in the first 30 seconds of every video (Code of Conduct D.2):

“Heads up, this is a paid partnership with BioChain USA. They sell research-grade peptides for laboratory use only, not for human or animal use. US only. I earn a commission if you buy through my link.”

Research-use disclaimer on every post (Code of Conduct D.3):

Research-use only. Not for human or animal consumption, diagnosis, treatment, or cure of any condition. US residents only.

You may not water any of these down or omit them.

Knowledge check 6
– Q: A post is fully compliant but has no #ad disclosure. Is it a violation? A: Yes. Missing the material-connection disclosure is a standalone violation.
– Q: Where in a video must the spoken disclosure appear? A: Within the first 30 seconds.

Module 7: Pre-approval, recordkeeping, and reporting

Pre-approval (Code of Conduct E). Anything not used verbatim from the Swipe Copy Library needs written pre-approval: custom copy, video scripts, podcast reads, email or SMS campaigns, landing pages, and any paid creative. Email affiliate-compliance@biochainusa.com with your affiliate ID, the platform, expected reach, the full text or script, the media file or link, the intended publish date, and any third-party content referenced. Response comes within seven business days. No response is not approval. Do not publish until you have written approval in hand.

Recordkeeping (Agreement Section 11(b); Code of Conduct E.4). Keep a searchable archive of every piece of BioChain USA content for four years from publication, plus the approval email for each. Failure to produce on demand creates a presumption that the content was non-compliant, and you carry the burden of proving otherwise.

Reporting within 24 hours (Code of Conduct F.3). Report immediately if someone impersonates you, uses your code or link without permission, a regulator inquires, a customer complains in a way that mentions you, or another affiliate appears to violate the Code.

Channel registration (Code of Conduct F.1; Agreement Section 10). Register every channel within seven days of acceptance, update within 48 hours of adding one, and recertify each quarter. Promoting on an unregistered channel is a material breach and a presumption of non-compliance.

Knowledge check 7
– Q: You wrote a custom caption. Can you post it right away? A: No. Custom content needs written pre-approval first.
– Q: How long must you keep your content archive? A: Four years from publication.

Module 8: Consequences, and who carries the risk

The enforcement ladder (Code of Conduct G; Agreement Sections 11, 13, 16). Takedown notice with 24 hours to cure and US$250 per item per day after that. Suspension for material violations, with commissions during suspension forfeit pending review. Clawback of paid commissions for up to four years from BioChain USA’s discovery of the breach (the discovery rule). Termination for repeated or egregious violations, forfeiting all unpaid commissions and any holdback and triggering clawback.

Who carries the risk. You do. Completely. This is the most important thing in this training:

  • You assume all risk of your participation.
  • You are solely responsible for every post, claim, channel, and audience.
  • You defend, indemnify, and hold the BioChain Parties harmless from any and all claims, including claims of death, personal injury, illness, or harm to any person or animal connected to any product, regardless of whether that person ever saw your content (Agreement Section 12(f)).
  • Your liability is uncapped (Agreement Section 16(c)).
  • BioChain USA, LLC and its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, agents, and contractors are not responsible or liable, in any way, shape, or form, for your conduct or its consequences.
  • No statement by any BioChain USA staff member, agent, or contractor, and nothing in this training, shifts any responsibility or risk away from you or onto any BioChain Party.

If a regulator contacts you (Code of Conduct G.5; Agreement Section 11(i)). Contact affiliate-compliance@biochainusa.com immediately and before responding to the regulator. You will cooperate fully with BioChain USA, at your sole cost.

Knowledge check 8
– Q: How far back can BioChain USA claw back commissions? A: Up to four years from the date BioChain USA discovers the breach.
– Q: A customer is harmed and never saw your post. Could you still owe indemnification? A: Yes. Your indemnity covers product-related harm regardless of whether the person saw your content.
– Q: Is BioChain USA responsible for your compliance mistakes? A: No. The BioChain Parties are not responsible in any way, shape, or form. You carry all of it.
