2. Research Use Only – No Human or Animal Consumption
All products offered and sold on this Site are for laboratory and research use only. They are NOT intended or approved for human or animal use or consumption under any circumstances. This means, without limitation, that our chemicals, peptides, and other materials must not be: ingested, injected, applied to the body, used as food additives, used as drugs or therapeutic agents, used in cosmetic products, or administered to humans or animals in any way. We do not market or sell any product for medicinal, dietary, or other household uses. Any descriptions or information about the products are provided solely for research purposes. The Company makes no medical or therapeutic claims regarding our products, and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
Purchasers and users of these products are strictly prohibited from utilizing them in any manner inconsistent with their designation as research chemicals. Any misuse of the products, including use for any human or veterinary purpose, is a serious violation of these Terms.

By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you are not located in Hong Kong and that you are not purchasing our products for use, resale, or any other purpose within Hong Kong. Any order that appears to originate from Hong Kong or requests shipping to Hong Kong will be refused or cancelled. This territorial restriction is in place to ensure compliance with Hong Kong laws and regulations. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as an offer to sell or distribute products in Hong Kong, nor as permission to violate any local law.

The Company will not be liable for any losses or legal consequences arising from the Customer’s failure to comply with local laws (for example, if a shipment is seized by customs or authorities, or if the Customer unlawfully misuses the product). We reserve the right to limit or refuse sales of certain products to specific jurisdictions if we become aware of legal restrictions or have any concern about regulatory compliance.

7. Order Refusal and Termination of Access
The Company reserves the right to refuse, restrict, or cancel any order or access to the Site at any time, at our sole discretion, for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to, situations where we suspect that a customer or order may be in violation of these Terms, of any law or regulation, or may pose a risk of misuse of the products. We may also refuse service if information provided by the Customer is unverifiable or if we have reason to believe the order is fraudulent or inappropriate.
If we cancel an order under such circumstances, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you using the contact information provided and refund any payment received for the cancelled order (unless the cancellation is due to unlawful activity by the Customer). The Company shall have no liability to you or any third party for refusing or cancelling an order, terminating your account, or blocking your access to the Site as a result of a violation or suspected violation of these Terms. We also reserve the right to permanently ban or terminate the account of any User who violates these Terms or whom we suspect of intending to use our products in a manner contrary to our Terms or applicable law.
8. Warranty Disclaimer

Except as explicitly provided otherwise in writing, no advice, recommendation, or information given by the Company, its employees, or agents shall create any warranty.

All warranties are hereby disclaimed to the maximum extent allowed by law.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, suppliers, or affiliates be liable for any kind of damages or losses arising out of or related to your use of the Site or purchase/use of our products.

This includes, without limitation: any personal injury, illness, or harm (including death); any property damage; any lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, or business interruption; and any liability to third parties, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The Company will not be liable for any damages resulting from misuse of the products, improper handling, or use of the products in violation of these Terms (such as human consumption or any unlawful use). You assume all risks associated with the products upon purchase, and you are responsible for any and all consequences arising from their use.
In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, the Company’s liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any case, the total aggregate liability of the Company for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the products shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you to the Company for the specific product(s) giving rise to the claim. This limitation is cumulative and will not be increased by the existence of more than one incident or claim. You agree that this limitation of liability is reasonable and is a material factor in the Company’s decision to offer products to you.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, awards, fines, penalties, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that arise out of or relate to (a) your use or misuse of the Site or any products purchased from the Site; (b) your breach or violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of any third-party rights; or (d) any use of the products by you or on your behalf (including use by your employees, colleagues, or agents) that is not in strict accordance with these Terms.

You agree that any Dispute will be conducted on an individual, not class-wide basis, and that no proceeding will be joined with any other, and no class actions are permitted. You further agree that, to the extent allowed by law, any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arises, or else it is permanently barred.
