NextGenPeps Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing the Site, creating an account, placing an order, or otherwise using any part of the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, Reship Policy, and Compliance Statement, each of which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or purchase any product.

Placing an order constitutes your affirmative acknowledgment that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms, including the representations in Section 4.

2. Eligibility

To use the Site or purchase any product you must:

• be at least 18 years of age;
• be located in, and have your order shipped to, the United States, Puerto Rico, or a United States territory;
• be a qualified researcher, laboratory, research institution, or other person or entity lawfully permitted to acquire, possess, and handle research chemicals in your jurisdiction; and
• have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

We may ask you to verify your eligibility at any time, and we may refuse, cancel, or limit any order at our discretion if we are unable to confirm it.

3. Nature of the products: research use only

All products sold on the Site are chemical reference materials supplied strictly for in vitro laboratory research and development use only. They are not drugs, medications, dietary supplements, cosmetics, foods, or medical devices, and they are not manufactured, tested, labeled, or sold as such.

Our products are not intended for, and must not be used for, human consumption, human or veterinary administration of any kind, clinical use, diagnostic use, therapeutic use, cosmetic use, dietary use, or any in vivo application.

NextGenPeps is a chemical supplier. We are not a pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy as defined under Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, an outsourcing facility as defined under Section 503B, or a healthcare provider of any kind. No product on the Site has been evaluated or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for any purpose.

Nothing on the Site, in any product listing, in any certificate of analysis, in any communication from us, or in any third-party material linked from the Site constitutes medical, health, dosing, or safety advice, and none of it should be relied on as such. We do not publish dosing instructions, treatment claims, transformation claims, weight-loss claims, health claims, or use-result claims, and any such claims appearing elsewhere are not ours and are not endorsed by us.

4. Your representations and warranties

By placing an order, you represent and warrant to us that:

1. you satisfy every eligibility requirement in Section 2;
2. you are purchasing the products solely for lawful in vitro laboratory research and development purposes;
3. you will not, and will not permit any other person to, consume, ingest, inject, apply, or otherwise administer any product to any human or animal;
4. you possess the training, facilities, equipment, and knowledge required to handle, store, and dispose of research chemicals safely and in accordance with applicable laws, institutional policies, and laboratory protocols;
5. you will comply with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations that apply to your purchase, possession, handling, and use of the products;
6. you will not resell, redistribute, relabel, or transfer any product to any person for any purpose prohibited by these Terms; and
7. all information you provide to us in connection with an order is accurate, current, and complete.

You acknowledge that we are relying on these representations in agreeing to sell to you, and that any breach of them is a material breach of these Terms.

5. Prohibited uses

You agree not to use the Site or any product to:

• administer, or facilitate the administration of, any product to any human or animal;
• market, advertise, or represent any product as suitable for human or veterinary use, or make any health, treatment, or efficacy claim about any product;
• edit, alter, falsify, or misrepresent any certificate of analysis or other quality documentation, or present such documentation as evidence of approval for any use other than laboratory research;
• violate any applicable law or regulation, including any law governing the sale, possession, or transport of research chemicals;
• place an order using false identity or payment information, or on behalf of a person who is not eligible under Section 2;
• interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any connected system;
• use any automated means to scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Site without our written permission; or
• infringe the intellectual property or other rights of NextGenPeps or any third party.

6. Accounts

You may browse the Site and view pricing without creating an account. If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate any account at our discretion, including for any breach of these Terms.

7. Orders, pricing, and availability

All prices are stated in United States dollars and are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include shipping, handling, or any applicable taxes, which are calculated and displayed at checkout.

Your order is an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order for any reason, including product availability, suspected fraud, inability to verify eligibility, an error in pricing or product information, or a violation of these Terms. An order is accepted only when we confirm shipment. If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the amount paid.

We make reasonable efforts to display products and pricing accurately, but errors occur. If a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, we may cancel any order placed for that product, whether or not the order has been confirmed, and refund any amount charged.

Quantity limits may apply to certain products. We may limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per account, per payment method, or per order.

8. Payment

Available payment methods are shown at checkout and may vary by order, region, and provider availability. By submitting payment information you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method and you authorize us and our payment processors to charge the full order amount, including shipping and any applicable taxes.

Where we offer a discount for using a particular payment method, that discount applies only to orders paid entirely with that method and may be withdrawn at any time. Payment method discounts cannot be combined with other promotions unless expressly stated.

If a payment is declined, reversed, or charged back, we may cancel the associated order, suspend your account, and pursue any amounts owed. You agree to reimburse us for any costs we incur collecting amounts you owe, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

9. Shipping

We ship only to addresses within the United States, Puerto Rico, and United States territories. We do not ship internationally. Shipping methods, costs, processing times, and delivery estimates are described in our Shipping Policy, which is part of these Terms.

Orders over $150 shipped to a United States address qualify for free standard shipping. Expedited options are available at checkout for an additional charge.

Delivery estimates are estimates only. Title to and risk of loss for products pass to you upon our delivery of the products to the carrier. We are not responsible for delays, loss, or damage caused by the carrier, weather, or events outside our control, except as expressly provided in our Reship Policy.

You are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. Orders returned to us as undeliverable due to an incorrect address, or refused at delivery, may be subject to a reshipping charge.

10. All sales final; cancellation; reshipment

All sales are final. Because of the nature of the products, we do not accept returns and we do not issue refunds, except as expressly provided in this Section or as required by applicable law.

Cancellation. You may cancel an order for a full refund by contacting us within 24 hours of placing it, provided fulfillment has not begun. Once an order has been packed or handed to the carrier it can no longer be cancelled.

Wrong item. If you receive a product that does not match what you ordered, we will ship the correct product at no additional charge. Contact us with your order number, a description of what you ordered and what you received, and photographs of the item received.

Lost, damaged, or missing packages. If a package is damaged in transit, shows no tracking movement, or is marked delivered but not received, contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date with your order number, a description of the issue, and photographs where applicable. We will investigate and may, at our discretion, reship the order. Reshipment in these circumstances is not guaranteed. Full details are in our Reship Policy, which is part of these Terms.

Any reshipment or refund we provide is your sole and exclusive remedy for the affected order.

11. Certificates of analysis and quality documentation

We make certificates of analysis and related quality documentation available for research review where applicable, including through our COA Library. This documentation reflects third-party laboratory testing of samples from a given batch and is provided for informational purposes to support laboratory research.

A certificate of analysis is not a warranty, a guarantee of suitability for any purpose, or evidence of approval for human, clinical, diagnostic, cosmetic, dietary, or therapeutic use. Test results describe the sample tested at the time of testing and may not reflect the condition of a product after shipment, storage, or handling.

You may not edit, alter, falsify, reproduce out of context, or misrepresent any certificate of analysis or other documentation we provide.

12. Subscriptions

NextGenPeps does not currently offer product subscriptions or recurring-order programs. If we introduce one in the future, its billing interval, first-charge timing, renewal terms, options to skip or change a shipment, and cancellation instructions will be disclosed before enrollment.

13. Promotions and discount codes

Promotional offers, discount codes, and free shipping thresholds are subject to the conditions stated with the offer, may be limited in time or quantity, may not be combined with other offers unless expressly stated, and may be modified or withdrawn at any time. Discount codes have no cash value. We may cancel any order that uses a code the purchaser was not entitled to use, including codes obtained through unauthorized coupon aggregators or extensions.

14. Affiliate program

Participation in the NextGenPeps affiliate program is subject to the Program Terms & Conditions published on our Affiliate Program page.

Affiliates are independent parties, are not our agents or employees, and are not authorized to make any representation on our behalf. Nothing an affiliate says about any product is a statement by NextGenPeps.

Affiliates must comply with Sections 3, 4, and 5 in all promotional activity, must not make any health, treatment, or use claim about any product, and must clearly disclose their affiliate relationship as required by the Federal Trade Commission. We may terminate any affiliate and withhold unpaid commissions for any breach.

15. Intellectual property

The Site and all of its content, including text, graphics, logos, product descriptions, images, certificates of analysis, software, and the NextGenPeps name and marks, are owned by or licensed to NextGenPeps and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any Site content without our prior written consent.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of liability

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

18. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NextGenPeps, NUTRL LLC, and our members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, suppliers, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Site or any product; (b) any breach of these Terms, including any breach of the representations in Section 4; (c) any use of a product contrary to Section 3 or Section 5 by you or by any person who obtained the product directly or indirectly from you; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

19. User content and reviews

If you submit reviews, comments, or other content to the Site or to our community channels, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and display that content in connection with our business. You represent that you own or have the right to submit the content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.

You may not submit content that describes or implies human or animal use of any product, makes any health or efficacy claim, or otherwise violates Section 5. We may remove any content at our discretion and without notice. We are not obligated to monitor user content and do not endorse any opinion expressed in it.

20. Third-party services and links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, communities, and services, including payment processors, shipping carriers, laboratory testing providers, and community platforms such as Telegram. These are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party, and a link does not imply endorsement. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that third party.

21. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. By using the Site you consent to that collection and use.

22. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, cancel pending orders, and refuse future orders at any time and for any reason, including any actual or suspected breach of these Terms, without liability to you. Sections 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, and 25 survive any termination.

23. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them, the Site, or any product are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and by applicable federal law.

Informal resolution. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at the address in Section 26 and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Arbitration. Any dispute not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, conducted in San Diego County, California, or remotely by agreement. You and NextGenPeps each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to the address in Section 26 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

24. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on the Site and updating the "Last updated" date above. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site or any subsequent purchase after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The Terms in effect at the time you place an order govern that order.

25. General provisions

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and NextGenPeps regarding the Site and any purchase, and supersede any prior agreements or communications.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them without restriction.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including carrier disruptions, supplier failures, payment processor actions, government action, or natural events.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms create no rights in any third party.
• Electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically and agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.
• Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
