Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 6 June 2026  · Effective immediately
Important — Research Use Only
All products sold by Clarion Peptides are strictly for in vitro laboratory research and scientific study. They are not approved for human or veterinary use, are not medicines or dietary supplements, and must not be used in or on any biological system. By placing an order, you confirm that you understand and accept these restrictions without reservation.
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using the Clarion Peptides website (clarionpeptides.com) or placing an order for any product, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions in their entirety. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our website or place an order. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Clarion Peptides.
1.Research Use Only — Absolute Restriction
All peptides, compounds, and associated products listed on our website (“Products”) are sold exclusively for in vitro laboratory research purposes. They are not intended, approved, licensed, or suitable for:
- Human consumption, injection, or any form of self-administration
- Veterinary or agricultural use of any kind
- Use in clinical trials without explicit regulatory approval
- Administration to any biological system, including cell cultures unless conducted in a properly equipped and regulated laboratory
- Any purpose that contravenes applicable local, national, or international law
Clarion Peptides bears no liability whatsoever for any harm, injury, or legal consequence arising from use of our products outside of their intended research application. The full burden of compliance with applicable law rests with the purchaser.
2.Purchaser Eligibility and Representations
By placing an order with Clarion Peptides, you represent, warrant, and confirm that:
- You are at least 18 years of age.
- You are a qualified researcher, scientist, laboratory professional, or are acting on behalf of a recognised research institution, university, or commercial laboratory.
- You will use all purchased compounds solely for lawful scientific research purposes in a controlled laboratory environment.
- You have the knowledge, training, and equipment necessary to handle research-grade chemical compounds safely.
- You have reviewed all relevant safety data, literature, and regulatory guidance for the compounds you are purchasing.
- Your purchase and use of the Products complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
- You are not purchasing Products for the purpose of human or animal administration, resale as a consumer product, or any prohibited purpose.
- All information you provide during checkout is accurate, truthful, and up-to-date.
We reserve the right to refuse service to any person or organisation that we believe is not complying with the above representations, or where fulfilling the order may create legal or regulatory risk.
3.Product Information and Accuracy
We take reasonable care to ensure that product listings — including names, purity figures, specifications, and Certificate of Analysis (COA) documents — are accurate and up-to-date. However:
- Purity figures and analytical data reflect batch-specific testing conducted by independent laboratories at the time of testing. Results may vary between lots.
- Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute scientific claims, endorsements, or guarantees of research outcomes.
- We do not warrant that any product is suitable for any specific research application. It is the researcher's responsibility to verify suitability.
- COA documents are issued by third-party laboratories. While we take reasonable steps to verify their authenticity, we make no independent warranty regarding their content beyond what is stated.
We reserve the right to modify product listings, discontinue products, or correct errors at any time without prior notice.
4.Pricing, Orders, and Payment
Prices
All prices are displayed in United States Dollars (USD) and exclude any applicable shipping costs, duties, taxes, or import fees, which are calculated and displayed at checkout. Prices are subject to change without notice. The price charged will be the price displayed at the time your order is confirmed.
Order Acceptance
Submission of an order constitutes an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order at our sole discretion, including but not limited to cases where a product is out of stock, the order triggers a fraud alert, payment cannot be verified, or the purchaser fails to meet eligibility requirements. An order is confirmed and accepted only when we send an order confirmation to the email address provided.
Guest Checkout
All orders are processed as guest transactions. We do not create or require customer accounts. Your order details are associated with your email address and order reference number for fulfilment and support purposes only.
Payment Processing
Payments are processed by secure, PCI-DSS-compliant third-party payment processors. We do not store your full card details on our servers. All payments must be received and cleared before an order is dispatched.
5.Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss
We aim to dispatch all orders placed before 2:00 pm (local business hours) on the same business day. Orders placed after this time or on weekends or public holidays will be dispatched the following business day.
- Shipping is via tracked express courier. A tracking reference will be included in your dispatch notification email.
- Delivery estimates are provided by the carrier and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays caused by the carrier, adverse weather, customs processing, or other events outside our control.
- Risk of loss and title for Products passes to the buyer at the time we hand the order to the carrier for delivery.
- We package all compounds in tamper-evident, climate-appropriate packaging to minimise the risk of degradation in transit.
- International shipments may be subject to customs inspection, import duties, or restrictions imposed by the destination country. The buyer is solely responsible for understanding and complying with any such requirements. We are not liable for packages seized or delayed by customs.
- If a package is returned to us as undeliverable, we will contact you to arrange re-shipment. Additional shipping charges may apply.
6.Returns, Refunds, and Replacements
Due to the perishable, controlled, and research-grade nature of our products, we do not accept returns as standard practice. Once an order has been dispatched, it cannot be cancelled or returned.
We will consider a replacement or refund only in the following exceptional circumstances:
- A Product arrives visibly damaged or demonstrably compromised due to transit mishandling.
- An incorrect product was dispatched — i.e., you received a product you did not order.
- A Product is analytically verified to be materially different from the specification stated at the time of order.
To initiate a claim, you must contact us at support@clarionpeptides.com within 48 hours of receiving your order, providing your order reference, a description of the issue, and photographic evidence where applicable. We will review your claim and respond within 5 business days. Approved replacements or refunds will be processed within 10 business days.

Clarion Peptides is committed to supplying research compounds of the highest verifiable quality. Every product in our catalogue:
- Is synthesised using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) or equivalent validated methodology.

- Has a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available for download on the product listing page.
- Meets a minimum purity standard of 99% by HPLC unless otherwise stated on the product page.
- Is assigned a unique lot number, allowing full traceability from synthesis to dispatch.
COA documents are issued by independent laboratories and are provided in good faith. We do not make any further warranty beyond the accuracy of the lot-specific analytical report as issued by the testing laboratory.
