Founders FAQ
When does Aurex launch?+
2026-07-16 at 12:00 PM ET. Founders ship first — your kit packs that morning, priority ahead of the public launch.
What happens to my deposit?+
Your $299 deposit is held as a reservation credit. At ship time it converts to $500 in launch credit (automatic discount on your first order). If you need to cancel before ship, full refund on original rail.
What if Aurex doesn't launch?+
Full refund on your original payment rail. No friction. The deposit never moves to operating revenue until your kit ships.
Can I transfer my slot?+
Yes — one-time transfer is allowed before 2026-07-01. After that slots are locked to the original email.
What's the difference vs. Whitelist?+
Founders (100 slots) pays $299 for $500 credit + engraved vials + first-batch ship. Whitelist (500 slots) pays $50 for $100 credit + 48h early access. Public access opens after both tiers ship.
Can I stack a referral code?+
Yes. Each Founder gets their own referral code. Anyone signing up with your code at Founders or Whitelist tier adds $50 credit to your account at ship time.
Is this a subscription?+
No. One-time deposit. No recurring charges. You redeem the $500 credit however you want — single kit, research stack, or multiple small orders.
Why am I getting free bacteriostatic water?+
Amazon removed bacteriostatic water from listings in Q1 2026, leaving researchers without a reliable diluent supply. Every Aurex Founders kit now ships with a free 30ml USP-grade BAC water vial so you can reconstitute on arrival — no scrambling for solvent at the bench.
