Terms and Conditions of Sale, Use, and Liability Waiver

Product Condition, Vacuum Seal, Lyophilization Appearance, and Research Handling Disclaimer

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the purchaser (hereinafter the “Customer,” “Researcher,”or “End User”) and EvolvePep (hereinafter the “Company”), operating via evolvepep.com.

By purchasing, receiving, possessing, accessing, or using any product, material, or service provided by the Company, the Customer acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be legally bound by the following terms and conditions.

1. Scope, Acceptance, and Research-Only Use

All products offered or sold by the Company are strictly for lawful research, laboratory, analytical, or educational purposes only, and are intended solely for use by qualified individuals or entities.

• Products are not intended for human or animal consumption, diagnostic use, therapeutic application, or incorporation into food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or medical treatments under any circumstances.

• The Customer affirms that:

  • Products are not FDA-approved and are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, DEA, or any comparable regulatory body, as they are designated and sold exclusively as non-consumable research materials.

  • No licensure, registration, or regulatory approval is required to purchase or possess these materials due to their investigational, non-consumable classification.

  • Products will only be handled by qualified persons trained in appropriate laboratory procedures, safe handling, storage, and disposal of potentially bioactive compounds.

  • The Customer will not promote, apply, resell, or represent the products for any prohibited purpose.

  • No statements by the Company shall be construed as medical, therapeutic, or diagnostic advice.

2. Mass and Purity Assurance

The Company warrants that, at the time of shipment, all products conform to the stated mass and chemical purity specifications. No other express or implied warranties are provided, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, experimental outcome, or research result.

3. Vacuum Seal Disclaimer

The presence, absence, or perceived strength of a vacuum seal within a vial does not constitute evidence of defect, contamination, degradation, or loss of integrity. Vacuum conditions may vary due to factors including:

• Compound-specific lyophilization parameters.

• Residual gas displacement during freeze-drying.

• Headspace volume and stopper elasticity.

• Temperature, pressure, and altitude changes during shipping.

• Hygroscopic or porous properties inherent to certain compounds. The Customer acknowledges that vacuum perception is not a quality metric, and the Company does not warrant or guarantee a particular vacuum appearance.

4. Lyophilized Material Appearance Disclaimer

Lyophilized materials are inherently fragile. The presence of a puck that is cracked, fragmented, chipped, dislodged, or loose does not indicate defect, loss of purity, reduced stability, or diminished integrity. Minor cosmetic changes may occur during shipping or handling; these are purely cosmetic and do not alter chemical composition or mass.

5. Reconstitution, Solvent Selection, and pH Responsibility

All outcomes related to reconstitution, dissolution, aggregation, or experimental performance are solely dependent upon the Customer’s methodologies, including solvent quality, volume, buffering capacity, and pH stabilization. Peptides are highly pH-sensitive; the Company assumes no liability for outcomes resulting from improper handling.

6. Post-Delivery Control and Assumption of Risk

Once delivery occurs, the Company has no control over handling, storage, reconstitution, or environmental exposure. The Customer expressly assumes all post-delivery risk.

7. Independent Verification

If product identity or purity is questioned, verification may be conducted at the Customer’s sole expense by an independent laboratory using accepted analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, Mass Spectrometry). Such testing constitutes the exclusive and authoritative method of verification.

8. No Returns, Refunds, or Replacements

All sales are final. Due to the inability to verify post-delivery conditions and the inherent risks of tampering, the Company does not accept returns, issue refunds, or provide replacements under any circumstances once delivery has occurred. This policy is strictly enforced without exception.

9. Payment, Disputes, and Chargebacks

The Customer waives all rights to initiate payment chargebacks, disputes, or reversals. Any such attempt constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, and the Customer shall be liable for the full purchase price, collection costs, attorney’s fees, and additional losses.

9A. Cryptocurrency Payments

Cryptocurrency payments are final and irreversible. The Customer is solely responsible for ensuring the correct token, amount, wallet address, and network are used.

10. Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss

All risk of loss transfers to the Customer once a shipment is released to the carrier. The Company is not liable for loss, delay, seizure, damage, or misdelivery.

11. Force Majeure

The Company is not responsible for delays caused by events beyond its control, including weather, customs, labor disruptions, or carrier failures. Delivery estimates are non-binding.

12. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

The Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from all claims arising from misuse, mislabeling, or regulatory violations. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages.

13. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property remains the exclusive property of the Company or its licensors.

14. Confidentiality

All non-public information is confidential and may not be disclosed for five (5) years following the transaction.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming. At the Company’s sole discretion, disputes may be resolved through binding arbitration or exclusively in the courts of Laramie County, Wyoming.

16. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior communications. No modification is valid unless in writing and signed by the Company.
