We are a UK-based supplier of products intended for legitimate research, laboratory, analytical and related purposes.

2. Research Purposes Only

Unless expressly stated otherwise, products sold through our website are supplied strictly for research, laboratory, analytical or other non-clinical purposes only.

Products designated as “Research Use Only”, “For Research Purposes Only” or similar are not supplied for human or veterinary consumption, administration or therapeutic use.

By purchasing such products, you confirm that you understand and accept their designated research-use status.

You must not use, or permit another person to use, a research-use-only product:

* for human consumption or administration;
* for veterinary consumption or administration;
* for self-medication or self-treatment;
* for diagnosis, prevention or treatment of any disease or medical condition;
* as a medicine, medicinal product or substitute for professional medical treatment;
* as a food, food supplement or cosmetic where the product has not been supplied for that purpose; or
* for any purpose prohibited by applicable law.

Product names, descriptions and technical information are provided to identify and describe the products available for legitimate research purposes. They should not be interpreted as medical advice, treatment recommendations or encouragement to use any product on or in humans or animals.

3. Purchaser Responsibilities

By placing an order, you confirm that:

1. you are at least 18 years old;
2. you are legally entitled to purchase the products ordered;

Where you purchase on behalf of a company, laboratory, university or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to make the purchase on its behalf.

4. No Medical Advice

Nothing contained on our website, including product descriptions, technical information, articles, guides, customer communications or other materials, constitutes medical, pharmaceutical or veterinary advice.

We do not provide advice regarding the use of research products in humans or animals.

Any references to scientific studies, research findings, mechanisms, compounds or other scientific information are provided for general informational and research purposes only and must not be interpreted as instructions or recommendations for personal use.

You should seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding any medical or health-related matter.

5. Product Information

We take reasonable care to ensure that product descriptions, photographs, specifications and other information displayed on our website are accurate.

However, images are illustrative and packaging, appearance or specifications may occasionally vary.

Where technical specifications, batch information, certificates or other research information are supplied, customers are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable for their intended lawful research application.

We do not warrant that a research product is suitable for any purpose other than the purpose expressly stated by us.

6. Refusal and Cancellation of Orders

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or limit an order where reasonably necessary.

This may include circumstances where:

* age or other verification requirements are not satisfied;
* the product is unavailable;
* an incorrect price or product description has been displayed;

Where we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will ordinarily refund the amount paid for the cancelled products unless applicable law permits otherwise.

7. Orders and Contract Formation

Submitting an order through our website constitutes an offer to purchase products from us.

Receipt of an automated order confirmation does not necessarily mean that we have accepted your order.

We reserve the right to reject an order before acceptance.

If we offer international delivery, customers are responsible for ensuring that the products they order may lawfully be imported, possessed and used in their destination country.

You may also be responsible for customs duties, import taxes, clearance charges or similar fees.

We may refuse to ship products to countries or territories where we reasonably believe that doing so may breach applicable laws or create regulatory difficulties.

11. Returns and Refunds

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict any statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Where applicable, consumers may have statutory cancellation rights for certain distance contracts. However, exceptions may apply depending on the nature of the product, including in certain circumstances where goods have been sealed for health protection or hygiene reasons and are unsealed after delivery, or where another statutory exception applies.

Any restriction on returns will only apply to the extent permitted by law.

You must not resell, relabel, advertise or otherwise represent a research-use-only product as being approved or intended for human consumption, medical treatment, veterinary treatment or any other use inconsistent with its designated purpose.

You must not remove or deliberately obscure research-use warnings, safety information or other material product information supplied by us.

Where resale is permitted, you remain responsible for complying with all laws applicable to that resale.

14. Misuse of Products

We are not responsible for use of a product contrary to its stated purpose, instructions, warnings or these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

Purchasing a product from us does not constitute authorisation or approval for any particular use.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that their possession, handling and use of products complies with applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful for us to do so.
