Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "User," or "Purchaser") and G3 Bioscience & Research ("G3," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of our website and your purchase of any products. By clicking "I Agree," completing the age verification process, or placing an order, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, Research Use Policy, and Refund Policy, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease use of this site and may not purchase any products.

2. Eligibility

To purchase from G3, you must:

• Be at least 21 years of age;
• Be a qualified researcher, scientist, or laboratory professional with the appropriate facilities and training to handle research-grade compounds safely;
• Be legally permitted under all applicable federal, state, provincial, and local laws in your jurisdiction to purchase, possess, and use research compounds of the type offered;
• Not be purchasing on behalf of or for use by any person who does not meet the above criteria;
• Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction.

By placing an order, you represent and warrant that all of the above conditions are satisfied. G3 reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order at its sole discretion.

3. Research Use Only — Binding Restriction

All products sold by G3 are sold exclusively for lawful scientific research purposes — including in-vitro cell and tissue research and in-vivo animal model research conducted in properly equipped, licensed laboratory settings with applicable institutional oversight (IACUC or equivalent). You expressly agree that you will NOT:

• Use, administer, inject, ingest, inhale, apply, or otherwise introduce any G3 product into a human body, including your own;
• Use any product for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical purposes in humans;
• Conduct in-vivo animal research without applicable IACUC or equivalent institutional ethics authorization;
• Resell, redistribute, or transfer products to any person without verifying that the recipient is a qualified researcher and has agreed to these restrictions;
• Use products for any purpose other than legitimate laboratory scientific research;
• Represent to any third party that G3 products are approved for human use.

All G3 compounds undergo independent third-party analytical verification by HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity) prior to release. Violation of this restriction may expose you to criminal liability under federal and state law and will immediately void any warranty or return rights. See our Research Use Policy for full compliance guidance.

4. Distribution Controls & Prohibited Purchasers

Prohibited Purchasers. You are NOT eligible to purchase from G3 if you are, or are acting on behalf of: a licensed compounding pharmacy or compounding pharmacy operator; a licensed healthcare provider purchasing for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use in patients; a clinical trial operator acquiring products for investigational use without an applicable IND; or any entity whose intended use is the formulation, compounding, or administration of products to humans or animals, regardless of regulatory status. Placing an order while knowing you fall within any of these categories constitutes fraud and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Institutional Buyer Representation. By completing a purchase, you represent that you are employed by or affiliated with an accredited research institution, licensed independent laboratory, university, government research agency, or equivalent research facility, and that you are purchasing in your professional research capacity. G3 reserves the right to require institutional verification documentation (including institutional email address, purchase order, or letter of affiliation on institutional letterhead) before fulfilling any order.

No-Resale Restriction. You agree not to resell, redistribute, transfer, donate, sublicense, or otherwise provide G3 products to any third party under any circumstances. This restriction applies regardless of whether the intended recipient qualifies as a researcher. Each purchase is for the sole use of the purchasing researcher or institution. Any resale or unauthorized transfer constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may expose you to liability under applicable federal and state law.

Order Quantity Controls. G3 reserves the right to limit order quantities per purchaser. Orders that exceed quantities consistent with plausible laboratory research use may be flagged for manual review, delayed, or cancelled at G3's sole discretion.

Right to Refuse. G3 reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and without liability, to refuse any order, cancel any confirmed order, or suspend purchasing access where G3 has reason to believe that: (a) the purchaser does not meet eligibility requirements under §2; (b) the purchaser intends to use products in a manner inconsistent with the research-only designation; (c) the order presents unusual risk indicators; or (d) the order may violate applicable federal, state, or local law. Full refunds will be issued for any cancelled pre-shipment orders.

5. Product Descriptions & Accuracy

We make every effort to ensure product descriptions, purity specifications, and certificates of analysis are accurate and up to date. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions are error-free, complete, or current. Purity and characterization data reflects the specific batch tested; actual performance may vary by application. Images are representative and may not depict exact lot appearance.

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an independent third-party laboratory is available for every batch. The COA is incorporated into the product description and constitutes the sole warranty of identity and purity.

6. Pricing & Payment

• All prices are listed in US Dollars (USD) and are exclusive of applicable taxes and shipping unless stated otherwise.
• We reserve the right to change prices at any time without notice. Price changes do not affect orders already confirmed.
• Payment is due in full at the time of order placement. We accept major credit/debit cards and other payment methods listed at checkout.
• You authorize us to charge your payment method for the full order amount including taxes, shipping, and any applicable fees.
• If a payment is declined or a chargeback is filed without basis, your account may be suspended and the order cancelled. Fraudulent chargebacks may be pursued legally.
• We are not responsible for currency conversion fees or foreign transaction charges assessed by your financial institution.

7. Orders & Fulfillment

• An order confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of your order. Acceptance occurs when your order ships and tracking is provided.
• We reserve the right to cancel any order for any reason, including but not limited to: suspicion of misuse, inability to verify eligibility, product unavailability, or pricing errors. Full refunds are issued for cancelled orders.
• Orders placed before 12:00 PM Pacific Time on business days (Monday–Friday, excluding federal holidays) generally ship same day. Later orders ship the next business day.
• Cold-chain items ship in insulated packaging with gel packs. G3 is not responsible for degradation caused by delays outside our control once the package has been accepted by the carrier.

8. Shipping & Risk of Loss

• Risk of loss and title to products pass to you upon tender to the shipping carrier.
• Shipping times are estimates only; G3 does not guarantee delivery by any specific date.
• You are responsible for providing an accurate and complete shipping address. G3 is not liable for orders shipped to an incorrect address you provided.
• International shipments are subject to customs inspection. You are responsible for all import duties, taxes, and clearance fees. G3 cannot guarantee that products may legally be imported into all countries. It is your sole responsibility to verify your jurisdiction's import laws before ordering.
• If a package is refused, returned to sender, or seized by customs, refunds are issued minus shipping costs and any recovery fees. G3 is not responsible for customs seizures resulting from the laws of your jurisdiction.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, G3, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR PRODUCTS, EVEN IF G3 HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

G3's total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your purchase shall not exceed the total amount you paid to G3 in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless G3 Bioscience & Research and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of any product, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation, (d) your violation of the rights of any third party, or (e) any claim that your use of products caused personal injury or property damage.

14. Compliance with Law

You are solely responsible for ensuring your purchase, importation, possession, storage, handling, and use of G3 products complies with all applicable federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to: the Controlled Substances Act (CSA); the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA); DEA regulations; state controlled substance analog acts; and export control laws under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR Parts 730–774). G3 makes no representation that any product is legal in your jurisdiction. Some compounds may be controlled, scheduled, or restricted in certain locations.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights you may have under California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA, Civil Code §§1750–1784), Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §17200 et seq.), or other non-waivable California consumer protection statutes.

California Liability Waiver Notice: In accordance with California Civil Code §1668, nothing in these Terms purports to exempt G3 from liability for fraud, willful injury to person or property, or violation of law, whether willful or negligent. To the extent any provision conflicts with §1668, that provision is void as applied to California residents.

Informal Resolution: Before initiating arbitration, you must notify G3 in writing at legal@g3research.com describing the nature of your claim and the relief sought. The parties will have 30 days from that notice to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith before either party may initiate arbitration.

Arbitration: If the dispute is not resolved within that 30-day period, it shall be submitted to binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Disputes where you are acting as a consumer (purchasing for personal, family, or household purposes) shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules; all other disputes shall be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted in the county of G3's principal place of business in California, or by videoconference at your election for claims under $25,000. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.

You waive any right to bring claims as a class action or in a representative capacity. Small claims court actions are exempt from this arbitration requirement. If California law prohibits enforcement of the class action waiver in a particular circumstance, the class action waiver shall be severed and the remaining arbitration clause shall remain in full force.

16. Modifications to Terms

G3 reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be communicated via site banner or email. Your continued use of the site or purchase of products after changes are effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

17. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Research Use Policy, and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and G3 with respect to your use of this site and the purchase of products, superseding all prior discussions, representations, or agreements.

18. Endorsements & Influencer Disclosure

G3 may work with ambassadors, influencers, affiliates, or other third parties who receive compensation (monetary payment, free products, or other material benefit) in exchange for promoting or reviewing G3 products. In accordance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255, as revised effective September 2023), all such individuals are required to clearly and conspicuously disclose their material connection to G3 in any content they create or publish. This disclosure must appear in close proximity to the endorsement and in a format that is easy for the average viewer to notice and understand.

If you create content about G3 products and have a material connection to G3 (including receipt of free products or any compensation), you are solely responsible for making required disclosures. If you believe any third-party endorser has failed to disclose a material connection, please notify us at legal@g3research.com.
