Research Use and Product Disclaimer
LEGAL DRAFT - REQUIRES REVIEW BY QUALIFIED COUNSEL
IMPORTANT RESEARCH-USE NOTICE Products identified as research-use products are intended solely for legitimate laboratory, analytical, or research purposes. They are not intended for human use, human consumption, self-administration, diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation, or prevention of disease. The Platform does not recommend or endorse use in humans. Always consult an appropriately licensed physician or other qualified healthcare professional for personal medical questions, symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, medications, or health decisions.
1. Research-Only Platform Context
Certain products made available through a Tenant environment may be described as research chemicals, peptides, compounds, reference materials, laboratory materials, or other research-use products. Any such designation is material. Access to product information, catalogs, group-buying opportunities, knowledge resources, calculators, questionnaires, or AI-assisted research tools does not convert a research-use product into a medicine, dietary supplement, therapeutic, consumer product, or product approved for human use.
2. No Human Use or Consumption
Research-use products are not intended to be injected, ingested, inhaled, applied to humans, self- administered, used as a substitute for an approved medicine, compounded for personal treatment, or otherwise used in or on humans. The Platform Operator does not recommend, encourage, authorize, or instruct any person to use research-use products in humans.
3. No Medical Advice or Treatment Recommendation
No statement, product description, research summary, questionnaire result, calculator, AI- generated output, chat response, ticket response, article, protocol-style content, comparison, or other Platform content is medical advice or a recommendation to begin, stop, modify, select, or avoid a medical treatment. Nothing on the Platform establishes a physician-patient relationship. A licensed healthcare professional should be consulted for all personal medical decisions.
4. No Dosage or Administration Instructions
The Platform should not be interpreted as providing dosage, administration, reconstitution, injection, cycling, frequency, titration, or patient-specific instructions for research-use products. Any laboratory calculation or research-oriented tool must be clearly distinguished from instructions for human administration.
5. Independent Research Responsibility
Researchers, laboratories, institutions, Tenants, and other authorized users are solely responsible for determining whether a product is appropriate and lawful for their intended research, for maintaining required approvals, facilities, training, records, personal protective equipment, storage, handling, disposal, transportation, and required institutional permissions, and for complying with applicable law and recognized laboratory practices.
6. Product Information and Scientific Content
Product descriptions and scientific information may be derived from Tenants, Vendors, manufacturers, published literature, databases, AI-assisted summaries, or other third parties. Information may be incomplete, preliminary, disputed, outdated, or not applicable to a particular lot, protocol, model, jurisdiction, or research design. Users must independently review primary sources and qualified scientific guidance.
7. Research scope
Research products are not intended for human use or consumption. A scientific publication or certificate of analysis does not establish clinical safety, efficacy or suitability for personal use. The responsible product party must substantiate any product-specific claims with appropriate documentation.
8. Certificates and Testing
Certificates of analysis, laboratory reports, purity statements, batch records, photographs, or other documents may be made available for informational or operational purposes. The Platform Operator does not independently guarantee their authenticity, accuracy, methodology, chain of custody, applicability to a particular shipment, or sufficiency for any scientific, legal, or regulatory purpose.
9. AI and Automated Research Tools
AI-generated or algorithmically generated outputs are probabilistic and may contain errors, omissions, unsupported inferences, or outdated information. They must not be relied upon as a substitute for qualified scientific review, professional medical advice, or regulatory analysis. Any AI tool should be used as an aid to research organization and information discovery, not as an authority for human treatment decisions.
10. Assumption of Risk
Research activities involving chemicals, peptides, biological materials, laboratory equipment, and experimental procedures may involve hazards. The responsible researcher or institution assumes responsibility for identifying and controlling such hazards. The Platform Operator does not control laboratory conditions, user qualifications, product handling, or off-platform conduct.
11. Prohibited Misuse
The Platform may restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts or product access where it reasonably suspects that research-use products are being marketed, promoted, purchased, or used for unauthorized human consumption, unlicensed medical treatment, unlawful compounding, deceptive consumer marketing, prohibited import/export, or other activity inconsistent with applicable law or Platform policy.
12. Emergency and Medical Concerns
The Platform is not an emergency service. If you believe a person has ingested, injected, inhaled, been exposed to, or otherwise used a research-use product in a manner that may present a health risk, seek immediate medical assistance or contact the appropriate poison-control or emergency service in your jurisdiction. Do not rely on the Platform, chat, AI tools, or product documentation for emergency medical care.
13. Required Display Version
A short-form version of this disclaimer should be displayed prominently on product pages, checkout or reservation flows, research-assistant screens, calculators that relate to research materials, and other relevant locations. The full disclaimer should remain accessible through the Platform footer and legal center. Recommended Short-Form Product Disclaimer FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR HUMAN USE OR CONSUMPTION. Products designated for research use are intended solely for legitimate laboratory or research purposes and are not offered as medicines, treatments, dietary supplements, or products intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent disease. The Platform does not provide medical advice or recommend use in humans. Consult a licensed physician or other qualified healthcare professional for personal medical questions or treatment decisions.
