Terms of Service

1. Buyer certification and eligibility

By ordering, you certify and represent that: (a) you are at least 21 years of age; (b) you are purchasing solely for in vitro laboratory research; (c) products are not for human or animal use, consumption, or administration of any kind, are not for compounding or any clinical application, and are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, or dietary supplements; (d) you have the training, facilities, and knowledge to handle research chemicals safely; (e) you will not resell or transfer products for any non research purpose; (f) you are responsible for compliance with all laws that apply to your purchase, receipt, and use; and (g) all information you provide is accurate.

We may require, before or after accepting an order, documentation reasonably confirming that the purchase is for laboratory research (including research affiliation, institutional email, or a signed research-use statement). We may refuse, delay, or cancel any order if that documentation is not provided or is unsatisfactory, or at our discretion.

2. Research use only, not for human consumption

All products sold by BlueCheck Peptides are intended solely for laboratory research use and in-vitro experimentation by qualified professionals. Products are NOT for human or veterinary consumption and are NOT drugs, foods, cosmetics, or dietary supplements. No product has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for human or veterinary use.

Products may not be used in compounding, in any clinical protocol, or in any diagnostic, therapeutic, or veterinary application.

Nothing on this site is medical advice, dosing guidance, or a representation that any product is safe or effective for any use in humans or animals. Product information describes reference materials for research only.

3. Compliance with laws

You are solely responsible for knowing and complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations that apply to your purchase, possession, and use of these materials in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our sole discretion, to limit quantities, and to decline shipment to any location or person.

4. Orders, pricing, and cancellation

All prices are in U.S. dollars. Prices and availability may change without notice. We may refuse, cancel, or limit any order for any reason, including pricing or listing errors, suspected resale, suspected non-research use, payment risk, or a payment we cannot match to the order. If we cancel an unpaid or unshipped order, refund of the amounts you actually paid is your sole remedy.

An order confirmation is not acceptance of your order. Acceptance occurs when we ship. We are not obligated to ship until we have received a completed, matched payment.

Payment is due through a method we offer at checkout. The methods we may offer are (a) Zelle and (b) card payment through a third-party processor. We may offer one or both. The method you select at checkout, and the payment instructions we display for that method, govern that order.

We may cancel an order if matched payment does not arrive within the time stated on the payment-instruction page, or within 48 hours after you place the order if no other deadline is stated.

5. Payments

5.1 General. You agree to pay the order total using the method you select. You are responsible for sending or authorizing the correct amount to the correct recipient or processor. We do not collect or store your bank login, Zelle credentials, or full card number on our servers.

5.2 Zelle

If you pay by Zelle:

(a) Send the exact amount shown on your order to the Zelle recipient identified on your payment-instruction page and order email. Put the order number in the memo where your bank allows a memo.

(b) Your payment is not credited to the order until we confirm receipt of the exact amount, to the recipient we specified, with information reasonably sufficient to match the payment to your order.

(c) Authorized Zelle payments are generally final. Zelle does not offer purchase protection for goods or services. These Terms do not limit any rights you may have against your own bank under federal law for an unauthorized electronic fund transfer.

(d) If you send the wrong amount, omit matching information, pay the wrong recipient, pay late, or pay from a third party we cannot associate with the order, we may refuse to credit the payment. We are not responsible for funds we did not receive or cannot identify. Contact orders@bluecheckpeptides.com immediately. Recovery of a misdirected Zelle payment is often impossible.

(e) We will not ship on a short payment. We may refund a matched overpayment, or apply it to the order if you ask us in writing.

(f) We will not ask you by text, or by an email that is not from us, to send Zelle to a different name, email, or number than the one on your payment-instruction page. Treat any such request as fraudulent.

(g) Your bank or the Zelle network may delay, cap, block, or later reverse a transfer. If a Zelle payment we credited is later reversed and you have already received the products, the order remains unpaid and you owe the purchase price. If you did not receive the products, you do not owe that payment, and we will not ship.

5.3 Cards

If you pay by card:

(a) You authorize our third-party processor to charge the order total to the card you present. Card details are handled by the processor and are not stored on our servers.

(b) Charges may appear on your statement under a descriptor we disclose at checkout.

(c) If you believe there is an error in a card charge, contact us at orders@bluecheckpeptides.com so we can review it. That request does not limit any rights you have under the Fair Credit Billing Act or your card network's dispute rules.

(d) If a chargeback or dispute is filed after we shipped with tracking, or after we already refunded the order, we may submit evidence to the processor and may suspend or refuse future orders. If we lose funds on a charge that was authorized and fulfilled under these Terms, we may seek recovery of that amount and our reasonable collection costs through Section 10.

5.4 Refunds

Refunds owed under the Refund & Return Policy will be sent by the same method used to pay when practical: a Zelle return to the Zelle identity that paid, or a reversal or credit through the card processor. If we cannot use the original method, we will use another method you confirm in writing. Timing depends on the banks or the processor.

5.5 Failed, blocked, or reversed payments

A payment that fails, is declined, is blocked, or is reversed is not payment. We may cancel the order or withhold shipment. If we already shipped, you remain responsible for the amount due.

6. Shipping and risk of loss

Shipping is governed by our Shipping Policy and returns and refunds by our Refund and Return Policy, each incorporated into these Terms by reference. We ship within the United States only. We ship after payment is matched under Section 5. Title and risk of loss pass to you when we tender the product to the carrier. You are responsible for storage, handling, and the condition of products after delivery. Delivery estimates are estimates, not guarantees.

7. Product conformance & limited warranty

We warrant only that products will, at the time of shipment, conform to the specifications on their Certificate of Analysis. THIS IS THE SOLE WARRANTY. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are disclaimed. No warranty of any kind is made regarding suitability for any use in humans or animals, which is prohibited.

8. Assumption of risk, limitation of liability & indemnification

You assume all risk and responsibility for the use, handling, and storage of products purchased. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from a product or order is limited to the amount you paid for that product, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless J. Aurelius LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms, your breach of the buyer certification in Section 1, your misuse of any product, or any use of any product on or in a human or animal.

9. Prohibited uses and termination

You may not: use the site or any product unlawfully; misrepresent your identity or research purpose; resell or transfer products for any non research use; interfere with or disrupt the site; or scrape, harvest, or copy site content or data by automated means. We may suspend or terminate your access and cancel pending orders at our discretion, including for any conduct we reasonably believe violates these Terms.

10. Dispute resolution and binding arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights. YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS SECTION. You and J. Aurelius LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, this site, or any purchase from us will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration between you and us on an individual basis, except as stated below. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

The arbitrator has exclusive authority to decide the scope, validity, enforceability, and arbitrability of this section, except that a court decides the enforceability of the class action waiver. A completed Notice of Dispute is a condition precedent to filing arbitration, and whether a party has satisfied it is decided by the arbitrator. A demand for arbitration must attach a copy of the Notice of Dispute and state the date it was received as defined in this section.

Before starting arbitration, the complaining party must first try to resolve the dispute by emailing orders@bluecheckpeptides.com. If that does not resolve it, the complaining party must send a Notice of Dispute. You may send the Notice of Dispute by submitting the form at https://www.bluecheckpeptides.com/notice-of-dispute, or by mailing a personally signed letter with the same information to J. Aurelius LLC, 10926 David Taylor Drive, Suite 120 PMB1211, Charlotte, NC 28262, United States, United States, with a copy to orders@bluecheckpeptides.com. The notice must include your name, address, email, order number, a description of the dispute, and the specific relief you seek. A notice that is not individualized is not effective. A typed full legal name on that form, with the personal-signature confirmation, is a signature. A form submission is received at the date and time on the confirmation email. A mailed notice is received on the date we receive it. We will use the same process, sent to the email on your order, if we have a dispute with you. The parties then have 30 days from receipt of a complete notice to negotiate in good faith. Arbitration may be started only after that window ends.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. If this section conflicts with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules or the Consumer Due Process Protocol on filing fees the consumer must pay, hearing location or format, or the consumer's choice of counsel, those Rules or that Protocol control. Administration of 25 or more coordinated demands is governed by the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and by the mass filing paragraphs of this section.

The legal seat of arbitration is Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Hearings will be held by video conference unless the parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator requires an in-person hearing, in which case the in-person hearing will be in the county where you reside or another place the parties agree.

You and we each waive the right to a trial by jury. You and we each agree that disputes may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in the county or equivalent court district where you reside, or in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, if the claim qualifies for that court. Either party may appear by video or written submission where that court allows it.

Either party may seek a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief in court to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights, or to stop unauthorized scraping, harvesting, or copying of the site.

If 25 or more arbitration demands raising similar claims or facts are filed by or with the assistance of the same counsel or coordinated counsel, the demands will be processed in batches. A bellwether group of 10 demands, 5 selected by each side, proceeds first. Filing fees and arbitrator fees are due only for demands in an active batch, and statutes of limitations are tolled for demands awaiting a batch. After the bellwether awards, the parties will mediate the remaining demands for 30 days. If they remain unresolved, either party may elect to have the remaining demands proceed in court under Section 12 instead of arbitration, and the class action waiver still applies.

The bellwether group will be selected and the first hearing dates requested within 60 days after the AAA designates the matter a mass filing, or as soon as the AAA's then-current mass arbitration procedures allow. Statutes of limitations remain tolled for demands waiting in queue.

In any such mass filing, each side will disclose to the other all relationships with third party litigation funders related to those demands, copies of the applicable funding agreements, and any financial interest in the demands that has been assigned or transferred to a third party other than counsel of record, together with the agreements governing that assignment or transfer. This disclosure obligation is mutual, applies only to mass filings as described in this section, and is severable from the rest of this section. Failure to disclose does not bar a claim, but the arbitrator may stay proceedings or impose appropriate remedies until the disclosure is made.

The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking it, and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's individual claim.

Public injunctive relief means injunctive relief that would benefit the general public as a whole, not a subset of similarly situated customers.

If applicable law does not permit a claim for public injunctive relief to be arbitrated, that claim is severed and stayed pending arbitration of all other claims, and will be decided in court under Section 12. This carve out does not void the rest of this section.

If the arbitrator finds that a claim or defense was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the arbitrator may award the other party its reasonable fees and costs.

If the American Arbitration Association is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties will select another established arbitration provider, and if they cannot agree, a court under Section 12 will appoint one.

The arbitrator will issue a written award that states the disposition of each claim and a concise statement of the essential findings and conclusions.

An award in an arbitration to which you were not a party has no precedential or preclusive effect in any arbitration between you and us.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. To do so, send a written opt-out notice with your name, address, and order information to the mailing address above, or email the same notice to orders@bluecheckpeptides.com, within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms. The date of a qualifying email is the date of the opt-out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Changes we make to this section do not apply to any dispute for which a notice of dispute was sent before the change took effect.

If the class action waiver in this section is found unenforceable as to a particular dispute, then this entire arbitration agreement is void as to that dispute, and it will proceed in court under Section 12.

This section survives termination of these Terms and the completion or cancellation of any order.

11. Limitation period

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the site, or a purchase must be filed within one year after the claim accrues. Claims not filed within that period are permanently barred.

12. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law principles. For any matter that is not subject to arbitration under Section 10, other than a qualifying small claims action brought where you reside, the state and federal courts located in North Carolina have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and we consent to venue there.

We may update these terms from time to time; the version in effect at the time of your order applies. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.

13. General terms

We may assign these Terms or any rights under them; you may not assign them without our written consent. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations. These Terms, together with the policies they incorporate, are the entire agreement between you and J. Aurelius LLC about the site and your purchases. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. If any provision outside Section 10 is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of these Terms remain in effect; severability within Section 10 is governed by Section 10 itself. Headings are for convenience only. You consent to receive notices and communications from us electronically at the email address on your order. The sections on buyer certification, the warranty disclaimer in Section 7, indemnification, limitation of liability, dispute resolution including the class action waiver in Section 10, and the limitation period survive termination of these Terms.
