Legal

Terms and Conditions

The terms governing use of this website and the purchase of Peptide Works research materials. Please read them before ordering — placing an order confirms your agreement to them.

Website Use

When using the Peptide Works website, you agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement.

You are not permitted to reproduce, distribute, publish, translate, license, sell or transfer any part of our products, services or any information found on our website. All other use of website content is strictly prohibited.

Read together, those two sentences mean that the material published here is for you to read and use in deciding what to order. It is not licensed for republication, resale, translation or incorporation into another commercial offering, whether in whole or in part.

Information Use

Peptide Works, whilst providing helpful information, in no way holds itself out as a source of professional or medical information offering advice.

Information freely available on this website is not to be used for the purpose of diagnosing or treating any form of medical condition, illness or disease. All products sold on this website are for laboratory research purposes only. Products are not classed as medicines or drugs that have been approved by the FDA, where customers reside in the United States, or by the MHRA, where customers reside in the United Kingdom, to prevent, treat, diagnose, mitigate or cure any medical condition or disease.

All information and any articles on this website are for information purposes only.

Peptide Works reserves the right to correct typographical errors and inaccuracies and will not be liable for such errors. Information supplied by Peptide Works can be modified, altered or updated without notice, including the availability of products.

The practical effect of the final paragraph is that product availability, specifications and published information may change between the time you read a page and the time you place an order. Where a detail is material to your purchase, confirm it at the point of ordering rather than relying on a page you read previously.

Disclaimer

You must be 21 years or over to use this website.

Products are intended for research purposes only and not for human or animal consumption of any kind. Products should only be handled and used by qualified and suitably trained laboratory research professionals.

By purchasing from Peptide Works you acknowledge that you are fully aware of the health, safety and other risks involved with the handling and use of the products, and that you are assuming full responsibility in respect of the destination country's laws and regulations regarding the delivery and use of the products.

The customer agrees that they will check the destination country's laws and regulations regarding the delivery and use of our products prior to the purchase of the products.

Three separate obligations sit in that paragraph and it is worth separating them out. You confirm you are aware of the handling risks. You accept responsibility for compliance in the country the goods are going to. And you undertake to have checked that country's position before ordering, not after a shipment has been detained.

Product Use and Eligibility

Products sold through Peptide Works are intended strictly for research purposes only, and by accepting these terms and conditions you are agreeing to their use in this manner. These products are not for human consumption.

In accepting these terms and conditions, customers must be associated with a body qualified to carry out laboratory research, including but not limited to a university, laboratory or other research-based facility.

Peptide Works reserves the right to carry out due diligence in assessing customer eligibility and suitability in the purchase of its products and, where appropriate, reserves the right to refuse a sale where the above conditions are not met.

Peptide Works is not responsible where products are misused for human consumption or recreational purposes, and is not responsible for any damage caused by abuse, negligence or misuse of any products.

This is the substantive eligibility clause and it is stricter than the age requirement alone. Two conditions must both be satisfied: you must be 21 or over, and you must be associated with a body qualified to carry out laboratory research. We may verify this and may decline an order. A full description of what the company will and will not advise on — it does not answer questions about the use or application of its products — is set out on the contact page.

International Customs

In agreeing to these terms and conditions, the customer agrees that they will check the destination country's laws and regulations regarding the delivery and use of our products prior to the purchase of the products.

Peptide Works will not accept responsibility for any loss caused by the customer not complying with the laws of the country to which products are sent, including but not limited to any breach of customs regulations, hold-ups or seizure of goods.

In the event that a customer receives correspondence from customs regarding an order, Peptide Works will endeavour where possible, and upon receipt of a copy of such correspondence, to assist the customer in supplying relevant information to facilitate the release of the customer's shipment.

The distinction drawn here is between liability and assistance. Liability for a non-compliant import rests with the customer. Assistance in resolving a customs query is offered as a matter of practice, on the condition that the correspondence is forwarded. Shipping timescales, carriers and the shipping protection provision are published separately in the shipping and returns policy, which forms part of the terms you accept at checkout.

Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property Rights

The Peptide Works name and logo, and all graphics, text, visual interfaces, user interfaces, trademarks, logos, photographs, sounds, artwork, music and computer code appearing on this website — including but not limited to the selection, structure, design, expression, coordination, look and feel, and arrangement of that material — are controlled, owned or licensed by Peptide Works. All rights are reserved.

Except as provided in these terms and conditions of use, no content on this website may be reproduced, copied, uploaded, republished, publicly displayed, posted, translated, encoded, distributed or transmitted in any way to any server, computer, website or other medium for distribution, publication or any commercial enterprise without our express prior written consent.

Indemnity

You agree to hold and indemnify Peptide Works, and our partners, subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents, co-branders and employees, harmless against any demand or claim, including reasonable legal fees, created by any third party due to or arising from your use of the content on this website, any content you post, submit or transmit from this website, or your violation of these terms and conditions.

External Links

Peptide Works does not endorse, control, review or approve, and is not liable for, any sites that are linked to this site, the content of those sites, or their services or products.

Where this website links outward — to a third-party privacy policy, for example — you leave this website and enter one governed by its own terms. Those terms, not these, apply to what happens there.

Website Availability

Whilst Peptide Works endeavours to make its website available at all times, Peptide Works reserves the right to make its website unavailable at any time, for any length of time, and for any reason.

Peptide Works does not accept liability for any loss or damage arising from the suspension, interruption or unavailability of the website.

Privacy

At Peptide Works we make sure that we are not storing or collecting any information about you that is not required for your purchase. Personal information such as your name, address and purchase history remains private. Transactions on this website are SSL encrypted.

The website does use a small number of third-party services in its operation, including web hosting, analytics and, in the context of comments, an avatar service. Which services are involved and what each one receives is set out in full in the privacy policy, which also describes your rights of erasure, access, portability and rectification, and should be read alongside this clause.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The content on this website is provided without any warranty of any kind, whether implied, expressed or statutory.

This site expressly denies responsibility for technical problems, scrambled, incomplete or delayed computer transmissions, unauthorised access of user transmissions, and other technical inaccuracies by third parties.

You have the responsibility to protect and back up your own data, including taking precautions such as scanning for computer viruses and other damaging properties.

Note the scope of this clause. It disclaims warranties in respect of the website and its content. The specification and testing position applying to the research materials themselves — minimum purity levels, independent third-party batch testing and batch-specific Certificates of Analysis — is described on the shop page and the about page.

Entire Agreement

Except as expressly provided in the legal notice on this website, these terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between Peptide Works and you, the user, with respect to the use and content of this site.

By confirming your agreement as you place your purchase, you adhere to all of these terms and conditions as stated above, including the Peptide Works shipping and returns policy.

If for any reason you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then you are advised not to purchase from Peptide Works, for your own safety.

The privacy policy and the shipping and returns policy are incorporated into this agreement and should be read as part of it. Questions about these terms can be raised through the routes described on the contact page.
