 These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware including any conflicts of law provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware.

10.2 Class waiver.

YOU AND AMINOCHAIN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator shall not consolidate another person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section shall be null and void.

10.3 Mandatory Arbitration.

The parties hereto agree that any claim, controversy, or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, termination, or validity of these Terms, or use of the AminoChain Services (collectively “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration, except that you and AminoChain retain the right to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court if it qualifies; and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of a party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights. The arbitration will be administered by the AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplemental Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written demand for arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The parties agree that the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this Section 10, and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within ten (10) days of delivery of the demand for arbitration, then either party may request that the AAA appoint the arbitrator in accordance with AAA Rules. The arbitration shall be held in the State of New York and the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.  Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. The prevailing party in any Dispute arising out of these Terms shall be entitled to recover their reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses from the non-prevailing party.

10.4 Injunctive and declaratory relief.

The court of competent jurisdiction hearing any dispute shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

10.5 Severability.

Except as provided in Section 10.2 of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms are invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

11.0 General terms

11.1 Whole agreement.

These Terms, including the Privacy Notice and any additional terms referenced herein, supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between AminoChain and you regarding the AminoChain Services. 

11.2 Survivability.

With the exception of any of the provisions in the “Class Waiver” subsection above, if any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the "Dispute Resolution" section above or by court of competent jurisdiction), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. 

11.3 Assignment rights.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms, without such consent, will be null and void. AminoChain may freely assign or transfer its rights or obligations under these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

11.4 Notices.

To the fullest extent of the law, any notices or other communications provided by AminoChain under these Terms, including those regarding modifications, will be given to you by via email or by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

11.5 No waiver.

AminoChain’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of AminoChain. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

11.6 Force Majeure.

If either party is wholly or partly unable to perform its obligations under these Terms by reason of any event beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, flood, earthquake, civil disturbance, war rationing, embargoes, strikes or lockouts, acts of God, or acts of government, such party shall be relieved of such obligations to the extent, and for the period, that it is affected by the force majeure event.  

11.7 Captions.

The captions in these Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof. 

11.8 Equitable Relief.

You agree that breach of the provisions of these Terms would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to us which would be both difficult to ascertain and which would not be compensable by damages alone. As such, you agree that we have the right to enforce the provisions of these Terms by injunction (without necessity of posting bond), specific performance, or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies we may have for your breach of these Terms.

Specimen Center Additional Terms

Effective Date: January 3, 2026

Last Updated: January 3, 2026

These Specimen Center Additional Terms apply to your use of the AminoChain specimen center service, which surfaces retrospectively-banked biosamples at biorepositories and allows researchers who desire to acquire biosamples to search through such biosamples and send inquiries directly to the biorepositories (the “Specimen Center”). The Specimen Center connects collaborators, streamlines searches for biological material samples, and assists parties in reaching agreements and handling payments for exchange of money and samples.

To the extent these Specimen Center Additional Terms directly conflict with the General Terms of Service, these Specimen Center Additional Terms shall control, solely as they relate to use of the Specimen Center service. For avoidance of doubt, the General Terms of Service shall also apply to your use of the Specimen Center. 

  1. Definitions

Terms capitalized but not defined in these Specimen Center Additional Terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Terms of Service. “Provider” means the provider of Samples marketed or sold through the Specimen Center. “Procurer” means the customer to which the Samples are advertised, marketed and/or supplied.  “Samples” means biological or processed materials acquired or derived from living or deceased human beings, which may include but are not limited to: (i) solid specimens and certain materials processed directly from tissue, such as tissue sections on slides; (ii) all primary tissue including primary cells, whole explant/biopsy cells, whole blood, plasma, serum, certain body fluids (including bile, excreta and sputum); (iii) all samples and their derivatives, collected under informed consent on behalf of Procurer (as defined below) during clinical trials/studies; (iv) cell lines, stem cells (such as embryonic or adult stem cells), induced pluripotent stem cells, and other lab-grown biological materials; and (v) DNA and/or RNA derived from Sample(s) where traceable to individual donors. You should understand the applicable terms, conditions, and restrictions on use and transferability for the Samples you sell or obtain through the Specimen Center.

  1. Sales of Samples

Sales of Samples are business-to-business transactions subject to separate terms and conditions as reflected in such transaction documents (collectively, the “Provider-Procurer Agreements”). AminoChain is not a party to such Provider-Procurer Agreements. Any dispute regarding the sale of a particular Sample is between the Provider and the Procurer in that particular sale. All transactions on the Specimen Center are final. 

  1. Who May Use the Specimen Center.

To use the Specimen Center, you must be legally competent to form a binding contract and be eighteen (18) years old or older to create a Account. You may be required to successfully complete our know-your-customer (“KYC”) verifications or provide other information before you will be granted full functionality to the Specimen Center. Providers must execute a separate AminoChain Specimen Center Provider Agreement to access functionalities limited to Providers. In the event of any direct conflict between a Provider’s Specimen Center Provider Agreement and these terms, the Specimen Center Provider Agreement shall govern.

  1. Disclosure of Risks.

4.1 Due Diligence.

When purchasing or selling any Samples, you must rely on your own examination of the potential benefits and risks involved. You should thoroughly review all transaction documents provided to you and seek further independent financial, legal, and tax advice to determine whether you believe a proposed purchase meets your needs in light of your objectives, ethical standards, research needs, safety requirements, financial circumstances, and tax situation.
