Section 01
Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the BioPepCems website, including any orders you place through it. By visiting the site, creating an account, or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the site or place orders. We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always the version posted on this page, with the effective date shown at the top.
Plain Language
By using this site or buying from us, you accept these rules. If they change, the version on this page is the one that applies.
Section 02
Eligibility and 21+ Verification
Use of this site and the purchase of any BioPepCems product is restricted to qualified researchers who are at least 21 years of age. By accessing the site, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
You also confirm that your intended use of any product purchased is for laboratory and in vitro research only, and not for human consumption, veterinary application, or any clinical, therapeutic, or diagnostic purpose.
We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or terminate accounts where we have reason to believe that the buyer does not meet these eligibility requirements.
Section 03
Research Use Only
All products sold by BioPepCems are sold strictly for laboratory research and in vitro applications. Products are not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for any clinical purpose, are not intended for human or veterinary use, and are not sold as supplements, treatments, or wellness products.
By placing an order you acknowledge that you understand this designation, that you accept full responsibility for handling the products in accordance with applicable research safety standards, and that you will not use, resell, or represent the products in any manner inconsistent with the Research-Use-Only framework.
Important
Misuse of research-use products outside the laboratory and in vitro context is your sole responsibility. BioPepCems disclaims all liability for any use of its products outside this framework.
Section 04
Account Registration
You may use the site as a guest, but creating an account allows you to track orders, save shipping details, and access historical Certificates of Analysis. When you create an account, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information
- Keep your login credentials confidential and secure
- Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account
- Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your credentials
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, that contain false information, or that are used to attempt to circumvent our compliance posture.
Section 05
Orders, Pricing, and Payment
All orders are subject to acceptance by BioPepCems. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including for reasons of pricing errors, suspected fraud, or eligibility concerns. If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, the full amount will be refunded.
Prices listed on the site are in United States dollars and are subject to change without notice. Sales tax, where applicable, is calculated at checkout based on the destination state.
Payment is processed at the time of order through our secure, encrypted payment processor. We accept major credit and debit cards. We do not store full card numbers or CVV codes on our servers.
Order modifications
Orders can be cancelled or modified within two hours of placement, before they enter the fulfillment queue. After fulfillment begins, orders cannot be changed. Contact our team immediately if you need to make a change.
Section 06
Shipping
Shipping is governed by our
Shipping Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In summary, all orders ship in plain unmarked packaging within one to two business days of payment confirmation, with tracking provided by email. Currently we ship within the United States only.
Risk of loss and title for products purchased pass to you upon delivery to the carrier. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, weather, customs, or events beyond our reasonable control.
Section 07
Returns and Refunds
Returns and refunds are governed by our
Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Due to the research-use nature of our products, we cannot accept returns of opened or unsealed compounds. Damaged shipments and documentation issues are addressed promptly when reported within seven days of delivery.
Section 08

Section 10
Disclaimers and Warranties
The site and all products are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BioPepCems disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components. We do not warrant that any specific result will be obtained from research use of our products. Independent third-party Certificates of Analysis verify purity at the batch level. They do not constitute a guarantee of research outcomes.
Section 11
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, BioPepCems shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the site or any product purchased through it.
In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you, regardless of the cause of action, exceed the amount you paid for the specific product giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
Section 12
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BioPepCems, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the site, your purchase or use of any product, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law.
Section 13
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the state in which BioPepCems operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the site shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation, and if unresolved, through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
You agree that any claim must be brought in your individual capacity and not as part of a class action or representative proceeding.
Section 14
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. The revised Terms will be effective when posted on this page, with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the site after revisions are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered account holders by email. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
