14. Advertiser Orders and Payment
For an Advertiser to complete an Order (as defined below) on the Website, Advertiser must use a credit or debit card through our third-party payment processor using the Website’s cart function. After an Advertiser’s Order is placed through the Website, the Company, within a reasonable amount of time, will reach out to the Advertiser to execute an Advertiser Agreement that will govern the additional terms of the Transactions (as defined below). Advertiser has thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of an Advertiser Agreement to full execute said agreement, subject to Section 16 hereunder. An Order is not accepted and does not obligate Company until an Advertiser Agreement is fully executed. The Company shall not be liable for any payment or similar issues that arise due to the third-party service. The Company may change the third-party service from time to time without notice to the Advertiser.
The Advertiser represents and warrants that they are authorized to use the designated credit or debit card, and the Advertiser authorizes the payment processor to charge the Advertiser's card for the total amount of paid advertisements, events, articles, or any other paid function of the Website (collectively “Transactions”), including any applicable taxes and other charges (collectively, as applicable, an “Order”). If there are insufficient funds on the Advertiser's card, the Order may be suspended or canceled. The Advertiser must resolve any payment issues with their card provider before we proceed with the Order. If the Advertiser wants to change or update their payment information, they must contact the Company. Company may change or update payment information at its sole and absolute discretion. The Company reserves the right at any time to change its billing methods.
If a payment is not successfully settled and the Advertiser does not request to edit their payment method information or cancel any transaction or purchase, the Advertiser remains responsible for any uncollected amounts. The Advertiser acknowledges that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, preferences selected, changes made to the Transaction or Order, or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and the Advertiser authorizes us to charge the designated credit card or debit card for the corresponding amount.
In the event that the Advertiser initiates a chargeback with their credit card company or any other payment processor, resulting in a reversal of charges for an Order, the Advertiser remains fully responsible for the payment of the disputed charge. If the chargeback is found to be unwarranted or if the charge is determined to be valid by the Company, the Advertiser agrees to immediately remit the full amount of the original charge, plus any fees, penalties, or additional costs incurred by the Company as a result of the chargeback.
Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies to recover the disputed amount, including but not limited to the use of collection agencies or legal action. The Advertiser also acknowledges that any unpaid balances resulting from a chargeback will be subject to the same terms and conditions governing late payments, including the accrual of interest and recovery of collection costs.
The Advertiser is responsible for all charges associated with connecting to or using our Website and all amounts owed to the Advertiser's internet service provider. The Advertiser agrees that all such charges incurred are entirely their responsibility. For example, depending on the Advertiser's location and chosen internet service provider, the Advertiser may be responsible for long-distance charges and/or other communication surcharges. Any discounts and promotional pricing associated with the Advertiser's Transaction or Order will expire as applicable, except where prohibited by applicable laws. The Company reserves the right to set the expiration date of these items at its sole discretion.
If the Advertiser believes that their credit card or debit card has been erroneously billed, they must notify us immediately of such error. If we do not hear from the Advertiser within thirty (30) days after such billing error first appears on any account statement, such fee will be deemed accepted by the Advertiser for all purposes, including the resolution of inquiries made by the Advertiser's card provider. The Advertiser releases us from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not reported to us within thirty (30) days of its publication. Please note that abuse of special offers, including creating multiple accounts to take advantage of such offers, is a violation of these Terms.
15. Prices on the Website
All prices for Transactions on our Website are shown in US Dollars. Applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice, including, without limitation, based on any criteria we may establish from time to time.
16. Refunds
If You make a Transaction and the underlying service or content being purchased (for the purposes of this section – “Service”) is discontinued, otherwise becomes unavailable for any reason, or if You fail to execute the respective Service agreement provided by the Company within the obligated amount of time, Company reserves the right to (i) cancel Your order and provide You a refund for the amount paid for the Service (if the Service is a one-time product order or Transaction), (ii) substitute the Service with a similar Service or (iii) issue You a pro rata refund – a choice of said options (or none of the options at all) being at the sole and absolute discretion of BHY, handled on a case-by-case basis. If the Company elects, at its sole discretion to provide You with a refund, You hereby agree and acknowledge that Company does not refund any interest or transaction fees that might have been charged to You, and You agree that Company is not liable to You for such interest or fees.

We want to take a moment to remind You of the importance of consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new dietary supplement regimen. While we strive to provide valuable information and guidance on our website, it is essential to understand that we cannot predict individual reactions or guarantee specific benefits for every user. Our website serves as a general resource, and Your health should always be tailored to Your unique needs. Please read this article below carefully to ensure Your well-being and make informed decisions regarding supplement usage.
Why Consultation with a Doctor is Crucial:
1. Individual Differences: Every person's body and health condition are unique. What works well for one individual may not have the same effect on another. Factors such as age, medical history, medications, allergies, and existing health conditions can significantly influence the way your body responds to dietary supplements.
2. Potential Interactions: Certain dietary supplements may interact with medications, exacerbate existing health issues, or produce adverse effects when combined with specific medical conditions. Your healthcare provider possesses the knowledge and expertise to assess potential interactions and provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current medications.
3. Pre-existing Conditions: Individuals with pre-existing and underlying medical health conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, liver or kidney disorders, or hormonal imbalances, breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids, and pregnant women need to be particularly cautious when considering dietary supplements. Consulting with a doctor helps ensure that the chosen supplements will not interfere with existing treatments or worsen the condition.
4. Allergies and Sensitivities: Ingredients in dietary supplements can trigger allergies or sensitivities in some individuals. Your doctor can help identify potential allergens or substances that may cause adverse reactions based on your medical history and known sensitivities. As we don’t know You, we cannot predict what would cause a reaction or not.
5. Optimal Dosage and Duration: Determining the appropriate dosage and duration of supplement usage is crucial. Your healthcare provider can recommend the right dosage based on your specific needs and advise on the ideal duration of use to avoid potential side effects or complications.
Furthermore, any testimonials, reviews, or examples found on this Website are not intended to represent or guarantee that any individual will achieve the same or similar results. The experiences of others may vary, and their results may not be typical. Claims regarding the measurement or reversal of biological age are preliminary and subject to various biostatistical errors. These tests are experimental and intended solely for research purposes; they should not replace or supplement any clinical tests recommended by licensed medical professionals.
The protocols and advice provided on this Website have been developed specifically for the unique biology of individuals who have undergone personalized assessments. These protocols may include a mix of on-label, off-label, and unlicensed therapies, as well as research-use-only tests. Some of these therapies and tests are still under scientific investigation and have not yet received on-label licensing for specific health conditions. All therapies carry inherent risks, which should be assessed by a specialized team of clinicians and scientists for personal use. The use of prescription-only medicines (PoMs), including but not limited to low-dose naltrexone and various peptides, should only be prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional who has determined that the benefits and risks are appropriate for the individual. These medications should be acquired through licensed pharmacies in compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

In the event of any conflict between any provisions hereof and any applicable laws to the contrary, the latter shall prevail, but these Terms shall be deemed modified only to the extent necessary to remove such conflicts, and the remaining clauses shall be interpreted so as to effect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties.
33. Binding Arbitration
NOTICE: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION OF THESE RULES CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHTS TO TRY CLAIMS IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM OR ACTION. YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
You agree that any Dispute (as defined hereunder) will be settled by final and binding arbitration between You and Company. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that You and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both You and Company otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Arbitration Agreement" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Arbitration Agreement" section will survive any termination of these Terms.
“Dispute” includes any claim, dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or common law, between you and us concerning the Website, or this exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this contract, including, without limitation, the arbitrability of any dispute, and any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.
Informal Dispute Resolution. In the event of a Dispute, You and the Company agree to attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each party a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. Except for those Disputes eligible to be resolved in small claims court, the disputing party must send to the other party a notice of a Dispute. This notice is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving the notice, along with detailed factual information sufficient to evaluate the merits of the claiming party’s individualized claim, and the specific relief sought, including the amount of money demanded and the means by which the demanding party calculated the claimed damages.
You must send any notice of a Dispute to the Company at 244 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2025, New York, NY 10001, Attention: Legal. We will send any notice of a Dispute to You at the contact information we have available for You in connection with Your Account. You and the Company will attempt to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning from the date the notice of a Dispute is sent. This informal negotiation requires an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between You and the Company (the “Conference”). If You are represented by counsel, Your counsel may participate in the Conference, but You will also need to individually participate. The Company will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel.
After the end of the sixty (60) day informal negotiation period and not before, and only after the completion of the Conference with respect to a claim, You or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding regarding that claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s claims before, during, or after any Conference or filing in small claims court. Each party agrees that a court may enter injunctive relief to enforce the pre-filing requirements of this paragraph, including an injunction to stay an arbitration that has been commenced in violation of this paragraph.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. If the parties do not resolve a Dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding Arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. Any demand for arbitration must be filed with ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) (https://www.adrservices.com/). If ADR Services is not available to arbitrate, the arbitration will be conducted by National Arbitrator and Mediation (“NAM”) (https://www.namadr.com/). The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.
The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
The arbitration shall be heard by one Arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator shall be a licensed attorney or retired judge with experience in the law underlying the dispute.
Arbitration Process. If either party wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. The arbitration shall take place in New York County, New York. If Your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents You and Company submit to the Arbitrator, unless You request a hearing, or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If Your claim exceeds $10,000, Your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If You prevail in arbitration You will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.
Fees. If we initiate an arbitrator against you, we will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you are the party initiating an arbitrator, you will be responsible for the nonrefundable initial filing fee and other applicable fees, as required by ADR Services or NAM. ADR Services sets forth fees for its services, which are available at https://www.adrservices.com/rate-fee-schedule/. NAM permits any person to request information as to fees for its services at https://www.namadr.com/fee-request-form/?request_type=Standard_Fees_and_Costs. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a claim or the relief sought violate the representation requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, to the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall have the same power to award sanctions consistent with that rule.
Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgment. At least ten (10) calendar days before the start date for an arbitrator hearing with respect to a Dispute, you or we may serve a written offer of judgment on the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitrator, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever is first, it shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitrator), from the time the offer is made.
Small Claims Court. Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you or we may elect to pursue a Dispute in a local small claims court rather than through the informal dispute resolution process described below or arbitration, so long as the matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis. If a party has already submitted an Arbitrator demand, the other party may, in its sole discretion, inform the arbitral forum that it chooses to have the Dispute heard in small claims court. At that time, the arbitral forum will close the arbitration and the Dispute will be heard in the appropriate small claims court, with no fees due from the arbitration respondent.
Severability and Survival. This Arbitration Agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement. In the event any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable. Therefore, terms of this Arbitration Agreement shall be severed, to the smallest extent possible, if required to uphold the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
