Terms & conditions.
Draft text pending legal review by EMC Peptides. Replace before launch.
Last updated: November 3, 2026
These terms apply to your use of the EMC Peptides website and purchases made through our store. Please read them together with our Research use policy, Shipping & returns policy and Privacy policy.
Eligibility and authority
You must be at least 21 years old and a qualified researcher with appropriate facilities and training to purchase our materials. If you order for an institution or business, you must have authority to bind that organization. Provide accurate account, billing and delivery information and protect your account credentials.
Research use only
All materials are offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research. They must not be administered to humans or animals, used for self-experimentation or patient care, or marketed as drugs, foods, supplements or cosmetics. You are responsible for lawful possession, safe handling, storage and disposal. We may request information about intended research use and refuse orders inconsistent with this restriction.
Website information and documentation
Descriptions, scientific references and other content are provided for research context and do not constitute medical advice, administration instructions or claims of clinical safety or efficacy. No information on this website is a recommendation to use a material in humans or animals.
Check the product, strength and lot associated with any certificate of analysis. Clearly labeled sample or illustrative reports are demonstration documents and are not authenticated test results for a purchased batch. Contact us if documentation is missing or unclear before relying on it for your experiment.
Prices, discounts and payment
Prices are displayed in US dollars unless expressly stated otherwise. Applicable discounts, taxes and shipping are shown at checkout before payment. Bundle discounts depend on eligible products and quantities and are recalculated when the cart changes. Promotional offers are subject to their stated conditions.
Payment options are those offered at checkout. Submission of payment information must be authorized. If we identify a material pricing or product error, we may contact you to confirm a corrected order or cancel and refund an unfulfilled order rather than charging an unexpected amount.
Orders and acceptance
An order confirmation acknowledges receipt of your order and does not guarantee stock availability or acceptance of an ineligible purchase. Orders remain subject to payment verification, availability and research-use review. We may decline or cancel orders for suspected fraud, prohibited use, delivery restrictions or material listing errors. Payments collected for canceled, unfulfilled orders will be refunded.
Shipping, cancellations and returns
Orders ship from San Jose, California. Available shipping methods and final charges are confirmed at checkout. Delivery estimates and procedures for delays, damaged items, cancellations and approved returns are described in our Shipping & returns policy.
Contact us promptly to request changes or report a problem. Opened, used or reconstituted materials are not eligible for routine returns, without limiting remedies required by law for defective or incorrectly supplied goods.
Acceptable website use
Do not misuse the website, attempt unauthorized account or system access, interfere with security, submit fraudulent information, or use our content to misrepresent products as suitable for prohibited uses. You may not copy or commercially reuse our branding, images or original content without permission, except as allowed by law.
Research limitations and responsibility
Research materials may have hazards or properties that are not fully characterized. You must independently determine whether a material is suitable for your lawful laboratory experiment and establish appropriate controls. We do not guarantee a particular experimental outcome or suitability for a purpose not expressly agreed in writing.
Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty, liability, refund right or other protection that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, EMC Peptides is not responsible for losses caused by prohibited use, unsafe handling or use inconsistent with supplied documentation. These terms do not excuse our own obligations under applicable law.
Governing law and resolving concerns
These terms are governed by California law and applicable US federal law, without depriving you of mandatory protections that apply in your jurisdiction. If a concern arises, contact us with relevant order details so we can attempt to resolve it. These terms do not require you to waive any non-waivable right or remedy.
Updates and contact
We may update these terms by posting a revised version and updating the date above. Changes apply prospectively and do not retroactively alter an existing order without your agreement or a legal requirement. Questions about these terms can be sent through our contact form.
