Terms of Service

Last updated: June 24, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Northern Era website and your purchase of Aurora ("Product"). Northern Era is a sole proprietorship operated by Brendon Yarburgh in Dallas, Texas ("we," "us," "our"). By using this website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or order the Product.

1. Eligibility & age requirement

You must be at least 18 years old to purchase the Product. Aurora contains 200 mg of caffeine per serving. By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that the Product is for personal consumption by adults.

2. Service area — Dallas–Fort Worth only

We sell and deliver exclusively within the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area in the State of Texas. All deliveries are made personally by the operator or an authorized household member. We do not ship via third-party carriers (such as UPS, FedEx, or USPS) and we do not sell or deliver outside the State of Texas. Orders with a delivery address outside our service area may be canceled and refunded.

3. The Product is a food, not a supplement or medical product

Aurora is a flavored caffeinated drink mix sold as a conventional food. It is not a dietary supplement, energy product, pre-workout, or medical product, and nothing on this website is intended as a health, energy, performance, or medical claim. The Product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Statements on this site describe flavor, ingredients, caffeine content, and format only.

4. Cottage food disclosure

The Product is produced under the Texas Cottage Food Law (Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 437). As required by law: "This product was produced in a private residence that is not subject to governmental licensing or inspection." Full ingredient, allergen, net weight, and caffeine information is provided on the product page before purchase and on the Product label.

5. Ingredients, allergens & consumer responsibility

It is your responsibility to review the full ingredient and allergen information provided on the Aurora product page and on the label before consuming the Product. If you have a medical condition, a caffeine sensitivity, an allergy, are taking medication, or are pregnant or nursing, consult a qualified healthcare professional before consuming. Do not consume more than is appropriate for you.

6. Orders, pricing & payment

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change. Applicable Texas state and local sales tax is calculated and added before payment. We will display your full order total — including any delivery fee and tax — before you complete payment. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order, including for suspected fraud, ineligibility, or addresses outside our service area.

7. Delivery

Delivery terms, fees, and windows are described in our Delivery & Returns policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. You are responsible for providing an accurate delivery address within our service area and for being available or providing safe drop-off instructions.

8. Returns & refunds

Because the Product is a consumable food item, all sales are final once delivered, except as described in our Delivery & Returns policy (for example, damaged or incorrect orders reported within 48 hours).

9. Assumption of risk & limitation of liability

You acknowledge that the Product contains caffeine and other food ingredients and that you consume it voluntarily and at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by Texas law, Northern Era and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use or consumption of the Product. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the order giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Product and website are provided "as is." To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, except that we do not disclaim any non-waivable warranties regarding the wholesomeness of food required under Texas law. The Product is intended to be wholesome and accurately labeled.

11. Intellectual property

The Northern Era and Aurora names, logos, copy, and site design are owned by Northern Era and may not be copied or used without written permission.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date reflects the current version. Continued use of the site or ordering after changes constitutes acceptance.
