Effective date: May 15, 2026
Last updated: May 15, 2026
These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement made between you (hereafter referred to as “Purchaser,” “Customer,” or “you”) and Remy LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (transacting business in California as Remyeast LLC) (hereafter referred to as “Company,” “we,” or “us”). By purchasing our products or using our services, you agree to the following terms.
Age Requirement
By purchasing the Product or agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant that you are at least twenty one (21) years of age and possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
1. Scope of Agreement
This agreement governs the purchase, transfer, and use of all yeast strains and other products (“Product”) provided by Remy LLC, including those modified through genetic engineering.
2. Orders, Pricing, and Returns
2.1 Pricing & Taxes: All prices displayed are subject to change without notice. You are responsible for paying all applicable sales, use, or value-added taxes based on your shipping destination, which will be calculated and added to your total at checkout. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order placed for a Product listed at an incorrect price.
2.2 Biological Product Return Policy: Due to the perishable and live biological nature of the Product, all sales are final. We do not accept returns, exchanges, or issue refunds for any yeast strains or biological materials once they have been shipped, except as explicitly mandated by our Force Majeure policy or in the event the Product arrives damaged due to carrier mishandling. If your Product arrives damaged, you must contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photographic evidence to request a replacement.
3. Intellectual Property & Usage Restrictions
3.1 Permitted Use: The Product is permitted to be used for any legal purpose, commercial or otherwise, including modification, propagation, and resale. You may distribute the material and substances created by you through use of the Product, including progeny, unmodified derivatives, and modifications, without requesting consent from Remy LLC.
3.2 Representations and Warranties: By purchasing or using the Product, you represent and warrant that:
- Technical Competence: If you choose to handle, store, or modify the bioengineered yeast, you possess the necessary technical skills, experience, and laboratory facilities to do so safely.
- Regulatory Compliance: Your use, modification, and any subsequent distribution of the Product or its derivatives will comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, including biosafety regulations and FDA requirements.
- Assumption of Risk: You acknowledge that genetic modification involves inherent uncertainties. You assume full responsibility for the safety, stability, and legal status of any “modified yeast” or “derivative products” you create.
- No Agency: You are acting as an independent entity and not as an agent, partner, or employee of Remy LLC. Remy LLC does not supervise, vet, or endorse your modifications.
- Export Controls: You represent and warrant that your purchase, receipt, use, and any transfer of the Product will comply fully with all applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 C.F.R. §§ 730–774, administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and you will monitor regulatory changes and comply with them. You represent that neither you nor any party to whom you transfer the Product is a prohibited party under any applicable U.S. government denied-party list, including the BIS Entity List, the Treasury Department’s SDN List, or the State Department’s Debarred Parties List. You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer the Product to any destination, entity, or individual in violation of U.S. law without first obtaining all required government authorizations.
- Prohibited Uses: You represent and warrant that you will not use, transfer, or permit the use of the Product, or any modification or derivative thereof, for any purpose prohibited under the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act (18 U.S.C. § 175) or the Biological Weapons Convention, including but not limited to the development, production, stockpiling, or use of biological weapons or toxins. Any actual or suspected violation of this provision must be reported to Remy LLC and appropriate federal authorities immediately.
4. Regulatory Status and Health Warnings
4.1 Self-Asserted GRAS: We take safety seriously. The Product you are purchasing has undergone expert review to ensure compliance with Self-Asserted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status under FDA guidelines. A confirmatory “no questions” letter has not yet been sought from the FDA. By purchasing the product, you acknowledge that, like any food ingredient, the Product may pose unforeseeable risks.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the product (e.g., production of beer) complies with all federal and local food safety and labeling laws regarding GMO ingredients including the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.
Bioengineered Food Disclosure Obligations: If you use the Product in connection with the manufacture or sale of a food or beverage product for retail sale, you acknowledge that you may be subject to mandatory disclosure requirements under the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (NBFDS), 7 C.F.R. Part 66. You are solely responsible for determining whether your finished product triggers disclosure obligations. You acknowledge that the regulatory landscape governing bioengineered food labeling is actively evolving. You agree to independently monitor applicable regulatory developments and maintain compliance with current NBFDS requirements and any successor rules.
4.2 Health Warnings & Medical Disclaimer: The Product contains live, active yeast cultures. In rare instances, the ingestion of live, active yeast can contribute to adverse health conditions, including but not limited to Auto-Brewery Syndrome (gut fermentation syndrome). Individuals who are immunocompromised, have underlying gastrointestinal conditions, or suffer from gut dysbiosis should not use or consume this Product without prior consultation with a qualified medical professional. By purchasing and using the Product, you expressly acknowledge and assume all medical risks associated with the handling and consumption of live cultures.
5. Limitation of Liability & Release
- “AS-IS” BASIS: THE PRODUCT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” REMY LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. REMY LLC MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE PRODUCT WILL MEET PURCHASER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ITS USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. WHILE REMY LLC STRIVES FOR QUALITY, IT IS NOT LIABLE FOR LOST BATCHES, OFF-FLAVORS, OR STUCK FERMENTATIONS RESULTING FROM ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, EQUIPMENT FAILURE, OR USER ERROR.
- Release of Claims: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Remy LLC will not be liable to you for any loss, claim, or demand made by you, or made against you by any other party, due to or arising from your use, handling, or modification of the Product.
- Maximum Liability: In no event shall Remy LLC be liable for any amount exceeding the actual purchase price of the specific Product that caused the alleged damage.
6. Indemnification & Defense
6.1 Indemnification: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Remy LLC harmless from any and all claims, damages, or legal fees (including attorney fees) arising from (1) Your use, handling, or misuse of the Product, including any regulatory fines or penalties you incur; (2) Any modification of the Product (e.g., modified yeast strains); or (3) Any derivative products (e.g. food, beverages) you produce, distribute, or sell using the Product.
6.2 Indemnification Procedure: (a) Notice. If Remy LLC becomes aware of any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding for which it intends to seek indemnification under Section 6, Remy LLC shall promptly notify you in writing, including a description of the claim and copies of any relevant correspondence or legal process. Failure by Remy LLC to provide timely notice shall not constitute a waiver of the right to indemnification except to the extent you are actually and materially prejudiced by such delay.
(b) Control of Defense. You shall have the right, upon written notice to Remy LLC within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the claim, to assume control of the defense of such claim at your own expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Remy LLC. Remy LLC reserves the right to reject counsel who lacks sufficient experience in biotechnology, life sciences, or food-safety litigation. If you elect to assume the defense, Remy LLC shall cooperate fully with you, including providing access to relevant documents, records, and personnel, at your reasonable expense.
(c) Remy LLC Participation. Remy LLC retains the right to participate in the defense of any claim at its own expense with counsel of its own choosing. You may not settle any claim that imposes any obligation, restriction, or liability on Remy LLC without Remy LLC’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) Failure to Assume Defense. If you fail to assume control of the defense within the thirty (30) day period specified above, or if you subsequently withdraw from the defense, Remy LLC may assume control of the defense at your expense, and you shall remain obligated to indemnify Remy LLC for all resulting costs, damages, and attorney fees.
7. Force Majeure
The Company shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials (including biological contamination or crop failure); war, invasion, or hostilities; local or national emergencies; or the acts, orders, interventions, or regulations of any public, federal, state, or local authority. This explicitly encompasses FDA import alerts or administrative detentions, USDA holds or inspection delays, state or local quarantines or embargoes on bioengineered or genetically modified materials, or sudden shifts in applicable food safety compliance mandates that render immediate fulfillment legally or logistically impossible.
In the event of a regulatory disruption affecting your order, the Company will notify you as soon as commercially practicable. If the Company is prevented from delivering your purchased Product for a continuous period of more than thirty (30) days due to a covered event under this Section, either party may cancel the affected order, and the Company’s sole liability shall be to issue a full refund of any prepaid amounts for the undelivered Product.
8. Governing Law and Exclusive Venue
8.1 Governing Law: This Agreement and any dispute arising from the purchase or use of the Product, or the actions of Remy LLC’s members, managers, officers or employees acting in their official capacity, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict of law principles. Unless otherwise required by the mandatory laws of your state of residence, any dispute will be governed by Wyoming law.
8.2 Exclusive Venue: Subject to the arbitration requirements below, any legal action not subject to arbitration shall be instituted exclusively in the state or federal courts in Sheridan County, Wyoming. If the mandatory laws of your state of residence prohibit the exclusive designation of an out-of-state venue for consumer disputes, you may elect to bring such action in your local jurisdiction.
8.3 Jury Trial Waiver: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND REMY LLC EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
8.4 Binding Arbitration: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating specifically to the transaction covered by this Agreement, or the actions of Remy LLC’s members, managers, officers or employees acting in their official capacity—including the determination of the scope of this agreement to arbitrate—shall be determined by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.
(a) Individual Basis: Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis only. Neither party may bring claims as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Except as provided in the Batching and Mass Filing procedures in Section 8.9, the arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate claims of more than one person or entity.
(b) Emergency Relief: Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.
(c) Enforceability: Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
8.5 Small Claims Court: Notwithstanding Section 8.4, either party may elect to have an individual claim heard in small claims court if the claim is within that court’s jurisdiction. If a claim proceeds in small claims court, you and Remy LLC agree to request and consent to participate in all hearings, conferences, and proceedings via videoconference or telephonic means to the maximum extent permitted by the court’s rules.
8.6 Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution: Before filing a claim for arbitration, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. You must send a Notice of Dispute to Remy LLC at [email protected]. The Notice must include your name, contact information, a description of the nature and basis of the claim, and the specific relief sought. We will then have sixty (60) days to attempt to resolve the matter. You and Remy LLC agree to participate in a non-binding settlement conference (via phone or video) if requested during this period. The statute of limitations shall be tolled during this 60-day period. Completion of this informal process is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration.
8.7 Optional Mediation: During the 60-day informal period, either party may propose non-binding mediation. If Remy LLC proposes mediation, the Consumer may choose whether or not to participate. If the Consumer agrees to participate, Remy LLC shall pay all mediator fees and administrative costs. If the Consumer proposes mediation and Remy LLC agrees, the parties shall share the cost. Participation in any agreed-upon mediation shall further toll the statute of limitations.
8.8 Claim Verification: Any demand for arbitration must be accompanied by a written, signed certification by the claimant (not just their counsel) attesting that: (i) the claimant personally purchased the Product and provided a valid order number or proof of purchase; (ii) the claimant personally experienced the specific dispute alleged; and (iii) the information provided is true and correct. Counsel for any claimant in a Mass Filing must also affirm that they have performed a good-faith investigation into the facts of each individual claim.
8.9 Mass Filings & Process Arbitrator: If 25 or more similar demands are filed by coordinated counsel (a “Mass Filing”), the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules shall apply. A Process Arbitrator shall resolve all threshold issues, including compliance with Sections 8.6 (Informal Resolution) and 8.8 (Claim Verification), for the entire Mass Filing. The Process Arbitrator shall order cases batched into groups of no more than 50 cases per batch. The parties agree that administrative and arbitrator fees shall only be due for the specific batch of cases currently proceeding. No fees for any subsequent batches shall be assessed or due until that batch is initiated. Only one set of administrative and arbitrator fees shall be assessed per batch.
8.10 Mandatory Mediation for Mass Filings: If a Mass Filing occurs, the parties must engage in a global mediation session after the first batch of arbitrations is concluded. Remy LLC shall pay the mediator’s fees and AAA mediation administrative fees for any such global mediation.
8.11 Mandatory Virtual Arbitration: The juridical seat of arbitration shall be Sheridan County, Wyoming, unless the mandatory laws of your state of residence require the seat to be located within your state. However, to minimize costs, all hearings and conferences shall be conducted exclusively via videoconference. No party shall be required to travel for the arbitration.
8.12 Accessibility Fallback: If a party is unable to participate via videoconference due to technological limitations or disability, they may request to proceed via (i) telephonic conference or (ii) a documents-only arbitration where the Arbitrator decides the case based solely on written submissions. No party shall be required to travel for the arbitration.
8.13 Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries: The parties agree that Remy LLC’s members, managers, officers, employees, and agents (the “Remy Individuals”) are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8. Any claim brought against a Remy Individual arising out of their role, actions, or omissions on behalf of Remy LLC shall be subject to the Governing Law, Venue, and Arbitration provisions herein.
8.14 No Waiver of Corporate Form: The inclusion of Remy Individuals as beneficiaries of this Section 8 is for the sole purpose of ensuring the efficient and consistent resolution of disputes. Such inclusion shall not be construed as a waiver of the corporate veil, an admission of personal liability, or evidence that any Remy Individual is an alter ego of Remy LLC. All parties expressly intend to maintain the separate legal existence of Remy LLC as provided under the Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act.
9. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms remain in full force and effect.
