This policy tells affiliates exactly how they may and may not talk about Aūra Research products. It is part of, and incorporated into, the Affiliate Program Agreement. Research Use Only (RUO): products are for in vitro laboratory research only and are not for human or animal use.
The one rule everything flows from
Talk about the products as research materials a laboratory buys — never as something a person takes, uses, or benefits from. If a sentence only makes sense when a human consumes the product, it is prohibited.
Hard “never” list
Never publish, say, imply, caption, hashtag, or depict:
- Taking, dosing, injecting, ingesting, “running,” or “cycling” a product.
- Any dose, mg/mcg amount, schedule, reconstitution-for-use, or administration instruction for a living subject.
- Treating, curing, preventing, healing, or diagnosing any condition.
- Weight loss, fat loss, appetite, slimming, metabolism, or “GLP-1 for weight loss.”
- Muscle, bodybuilding, performance, anti-aging, sexual, or cosmetic benefits.
- Personal results, testimonials, reviews of use, or before/after / transformation content or imagery.
- GLP-1-class names (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, liraglutide, cagrilintide; Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Rybelsus, Saxenda) in any human-use or weight-loss framing.
- Claims that products are safe, legal, or approved to consume, or are substitutes for approved drugs.
Required on every promotional piece
- RUO framing — present products as laboratory research materials.
- Clear FTC disclosure — a plain-language statement that you earn a commission (e.g., “I earn a commission from Aūra Research if you use my code”), placed where it’s seen first; plus platform tags like “#ad” where available.
- No medical framing — no health, body, or outcome promises of any kind.
Side-by-side examples
| Prohibited (do NOT post) | Compliant reframe |
|---|---|
| “I lost 12 lbs on this — here’s my before/after.” | “Aūra supplies research-grade reference materials for in vitro lab work. #ad” |
| “Dose 0.25mg weekly, here’s how to reconstitute.” | No dosing/administration content is permitted in any form. |
| “Better than Ozempic for weight loss.” | Do not reference GLP-1 drugs or weight loss at all. |
| “This healed my joints.” | No therapeutic claims of any kind. |
| “DM me for a protocol.” | No protocols, schedules, or use guidance. |
| “Use code JANE for your cycle.” | “Use code JANE for 10% off research materials. I earn a commission. #ad” |
Code naming
Your discount code may not contain drug names, GLP-1 terms, or human-use/medical/weight-loss words (e.g., OZEMPIC10, DOSE5, WEIGHTLOSS). Such codes are automatically rejected. Use your name, handle, or a neutral term (e.g., JANELAB, RESEARCH10).
Imagery
Use only product/laboratory-context imagery. No bodies, injection sites, syringes-in-use, scales, tape measures, or transformation photos. No imagery implying human consumption.
Monitoring and enforcement
We review affiliate content. Content that violates this policy will be flagged; we may require immediate takedown, disable your code, and suspend or terminate your account, withholding or reversing affected commissions. Repeated or high-risk violations (especially GLP-1 human-use claims) result in immediate, permanent removal.
