These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between Orvex Co LLC (“Orvex,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a limited liability company, and any individual or entity (“you,” “purchaser,” or “buyer”) who accesses the Orvex website (the “Site”) or purchases any product from Orvex. By accessing the Site, creating an account, or completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree, do not access the Site or place an order.
1. Acceptance of Terms & Binding Agreement
These Terms govern all access to and use of the Site and all purchases of products from Orvex. By checking the acceptance box at checkout, creating an account, or completing a purchase, you affirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and enter into a binding agreement with Orvex. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an institution or entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity. Orvex recommends that you retain a copy of these Terms for your records.
2. Electronic Signature & Consent
By checking the acceptance box, creating an account, or completing a purchase, you agree that your action constitutes an electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and applicable state law, including the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature. You consent to conduct this transaction electronically and to the electronic delivery of these Terms and all related records and notices.
3. Eligibility & Age Requirement
All purchases from Orvex are strictly limited to individuals who are at least 21 years of age. By accessing the Site or completing a purchase, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. Orvex reserves the right to request proof of age at any point during the transaction process. Any order placed by an individual who does not meet this requirement will be subject to immediate cancellation. Orvex assumes no liability for misrepresentation of age by the purchaser.
4. Research Use Only — Intended Use Restriction
All products sold by Orvex are intended exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and scientific investigation by qualified professionals. These products are not approved, licensed, or intended for:
- Human or veterinary consumption of any kind;
- Diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications;
- Use as food, food additives, dietary supplements, or cosmetics;
- Agricultural, household, or any commercial non-research application.
By completing a purchase, the buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the products will be used solely within a controlled laboratory research environment, in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The “Research Use Only” designation is not a legal shield for misuse — it is a binding condition of sale.
5. Purchaser Responsibility & Legal Compliance
The purchaser bears sole and exclusive responsibility for ensuring that the acquisition, possession, handling, storage, use, and disposal of all products purchased from Orvex comply with all applicable local, municipal, state, and federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to those enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and any other relevant regulatory authority.
Orvex makes no representation that its products are legal for purchase or use in any specific jurisdiction outside of their intended research context. It is the purchaser’s obligation to independently verify the legal status of any product in their jurisdiction prior to placing an order. Orvex shall bear no liability for any legal consequences arising from the purchaser’s failure to comply with applicable laws.
6. Purchaser Certification of Qualified Status
By completing a purchase, the buyer expressly certifies that they are:
- A qualified researcher, scientist, laboratory technician, or authorized representative of a research institution;
- Operating within a controlled laboratory environment with the appropriate knowledge and facilities to safely handle research compounds;
- In full compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations governing the use, possession, and disposal of research chemicals;
- Aware that misuse, diversion, or misrepresentation of product use may result in serious civil and criminal liability.
Orvex reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to require documentation demonstrating research affiliation or intended laboratory use before accepting any order, and to verify purchaser qualifications at any point. Orvex may cancel any order where such qualification cannot be confirmed to its satisfaction.
7. Prohibition of Therapeutic Claims
The purchaser acknowledges that no content on the Orvex website — including product descriptions, research summaries, or educational materials — constitutes a therapeutic claim, medical recommendation, or representation of benefit for human or animal health. Orvex makes no representations regarding the safety, efficacy, or suitability of its products for any human or veterinary application. Any scientific literature referenced on the Site is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement of any specific use. The purchaser agrees not to interpret, represent, or promote any Orvex product as having therapeutic value for human or animal use.
8. Prohibition on Administration Supplies
Orvex does not sell, include, or bundle any materials associated with human administration — including syringes, needles, bacteriostatic water, alcohol swabs, or similar supplies — with its research compounds. Any third-party supplies the purchaser acquires for legitimate laboratory reconstitution purposes are obtained independently and at the purchaser’s sole discretion and responsibility.
9. No Reconstitution or Usage Guidance
Orvex does not provide, and expressly disclaims any obligation to provide, reconstitution instructions, dosage recommendations, administration protocols, or usage guidance of any kind for any of its products. Any such information, if encountered elsewhere, is not endorsed by Orvex and is used at the purchaser’s sole risk. The provision of such guidance would be inconsistent with the research-only nature of Orvex’s products and is not within the scope of Orvex’s services under any circumstances.
10. Laboratory Safety
The purchaser represents and warrants that all Orvex products will be handled only by appropriately trained personnel using appropriate laboratory protective equipment and procedures, within a controlled laboratory environment. The purchaser is solely responsible for maintaining a safe research environment and for compliance with all applicable occupational health and safety requirements.
11. Prohibition on Resale & Redistribution
Products purchased from Orvex are intended solely for the purchaser’s own research use. The resale, redistribution, repackaging, relabeling, or transfer of any Orvex product to any third party — whether for compensation or otherwise — is strictly prohibited without prior written authorization from Orvex. Any unauthorized resale or redistribution constitutes a material breach of these Terms. Orvex reserves the right to terminate the purchaser’s account and refuse future orders upon discovery of any such activity.
12. Orders, Pricing & Product Availability
All prices displayed on the Site are in U.S. Dollars (USD) and are subject to change at any time without prior notice. The display of a product on the Site is an invitation to place an order and does not constitute a binding offer; a binding contract is formed only when Orvex accepts and dispatches the order. Orvex reserves the right to modify, discontinue, or limit the availability of any product at any time without liability to the purchaser. In the event of a pricing or typographical error, Orvex reserves the right to cancel the affected order and issue a full refund. Product descriptions, images, and specifications are provided for informational purposes only and may be updated without notice.
13. Payment Terms & Chargebacks
Payment is due in full at the time an order is placed. Orvex accepts the payment methods identified at checkout, including major credit and debit cards. By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.
The purchaser agrees not to initiate any fraudulent chargeback or payment dispute. In the event of a chargeback initiated in bad faith or in breach of these Terms, Orvex reserves the right to dispute the chargeback, suspend or terminate the purchaser’s account, and recover all resulting costs, including administrative fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
14. Taxes
All prices displayed on the Site are exclusive of any applicable taxes, duties, or governmental charges unless expressly stated otherwise. The purchaser is solely responsible for any and all sales, use, value-added, import, or other taxes or governmental charges that may apply to their purchase, other than taxes based on Orvex’s net income. Where Orvex is required by law to collect such taxes, the applicable amount will be added at checkout.
15. Certificates of Analysis
Each batch of Orvex products is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA). The purchaser acknowledges that a COA reflects testing performed on that specific batch at the time of testing and does not constitute a warranty or guarantee of suitability for any particular research purpose. The purchaser remains solely responsible for independently evaluating whether a product is suitable for their intended research application.
16. No Modifications or Cancellations
Due to the nature of our fulfillment process, which is designed to dispatch orders as rapidly as possible, all orders are considered final upon confirmation of payment. Orvex cannot guarantee the modification or cancellation of any order once it has been submitted. If you believe an error has been made, you must contact our support team immediately at support@orvex.co. Orvex will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requests made prior to dispatch, but assumes no obligation to do so. Once an order has been shipped, no modifications, cancellations, or diversions are possible under any circumstances.
17. Shipping, Risk of Loss & Transfer of Title
Orvex ships orders using third-party carriers. Title to, and risk of loss of, all products pass to the purchaser at the time the products are delivered to the carrier for shipment (FOB origin). From that point forward, the purchaser bears all risk of loss, theft, or damage in transit. Estimated shipping and delivery times are provided for convenience only and are not guaranteed. Once a package has been marked delivered by the carrier, it is outside Orvex’s direct control. Orvex strongly recommends adding shipping protection at checkout to cover lost, stolen, or damaged packages; claims for stolen packages may require supporting documentation such as a police report.
18. Returns, Refunds & Final Sale
Due to the sensitive nature of research compounds and strict quality and chain-of-custody requirements, all sales are final. Orvex does not accept returns or issue refunds for change of mind, improper storage after delivery, or any product that has been opened. This section governs returns and refunds and supersedes any informational statements found elsewhere on the Site. If you believe you received an incorrect or defective product, you must contact support@orvex.co within a reasonable time and include a photograph of the packing slip and the product received; Orvex will review the discrepancy and, at its sole discretion, arrange a replacement or refund.
19. Handling, Storage & Waste Disposal
The purchaser is solely responsible for the proper handling, storage, and disposal of all products purchased from Orvex, in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing research chemicals and hazardous materials. Orvex provides general storage guidance for informational purposes only, and product integrity cannot be guaranteed if storage recommendations are not followed immediately upon delivery. Improper storage, handling, or disposal that results in harm, regulatory action, or liability is the exclusive responsibility of the purchaser.
20. International Shipping & Import Compliance
Orvex may ship to select international destinations subject to availability and applicable regulations. It is the exclusive responsibility of the international purchaser to verify that the importation of research compounds is legal in their country or jurisdiction prior to placing an order. Orvex makes no representations regarding the legal status of its products outside the United States. Orvex shall not be responsible for packages detained, seized, or destroyed by customs authorities, and no refund will be issued in such circumstances. Any customs duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
21. Export Control
The purchaser is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations, including those administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The purchaser shall not export, re-export, or transfer any Orvex product in violation of such laws, and represents that they are not located in, or a national of, any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions.
22. Right to Refuse Service & Suspicious Orders
Orvex reserves the unconditional right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order or transaction at its sole discretion, at any time, and for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, Orvex may refuse or cancel orders based on:
- Repeated purchases inconsistent with legitimate laboratory research;
- Requests for dosage, administration, or usage information;
- Requests for injection or administration supplies;
- Requests regarding human or animal administration;
- Suspected fraudulent activity or unauthorized payment;
- Prior violations of these Terms, or any request otherwise inconsistent with research use.
In the event an order is refused or canceled by Orvex, any payment received will be refunded in full. Orvex shall not be liable for any losses, inconveniences, or damages resulting from the exercise of this right.
23. Monitoring, Reporting & Government Requests
Orvex reserves the right to monitor transactions, communications, and order patterns for indications of misuse, fraud, or activity inconsistent with legitimate research purposes. If Orvex has reasonable grounds to believe that its products are being misused, diverted, or used in violation of applicable law, Orvex reserves the right to cancel pending orders, suspend or terminate the purchaser’s account, and report suspected misuse to the appropriate authorities, including but not limited to the FDA and DEA. Orvex may also comply with any lawful request from governmental or regulatory authorities without prior notice to the purchaser. The purchaser consents to this monitoring and cooperation as a condition of purchase.
24. Assumption of Risk & Liability Waiver
The purchaser expressly acknowledges that research peptides are potent chemical compounds that require specialized knowledge, proper facilities, and strict safety protocols to handle appropriately. By completing a purchase, the buyer voluntarily assumes all risk associated with the purchase, transport, storage, handling, and use of any product acquired from Orvex, including but not limited to:
- Risk of improper handling or accidental exposure;
- Risk arising from storage outside of recommended conditions;
- Risk associated with use outside of a controlled laboratory environment;
- Any physical, financial, legal, or reputational harm resulting from misuse.
Orvex expressly disclaims all liability for any injury, loss, damage, or adverse outcome arising from the purchaser’s use or misuse of its products, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
25. Indemnification
By purchasing from Orvex, the buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Orvex, its owners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses — including reasonable attorneys’ fees — arising out of or related to: the purchaser’s use, misuse, or resale of any Orvex product; any violation of these Terms by the purchaser; any violation of applicable law by the purchaser; any claim by a third party resulting from the purchaser’s actions; or any regulatory action initiated as a result of the purchaser’s conduct.
26. Disclaimer of Warranties
All products offered by Orvex are sold “as-is” and “as available,” without any express or implied warranties of any kind, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of results, or freedom from contamination beyond what is documented in the applicable Certificate of Analysis. Orvex does not warrant that its products will produce any specific result in any research application. The buyer assumes full responsibility for independently evaluating the suitability of any product for their intended research use.
27. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Orvex’s total liability to the purchaser for any claim arising from or related to any product or transaction shall not exceed the total amount paid by the purchaser for the specific product giving rise to the claim. Under no circumstances shall Orvex be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages — including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or reputational harm — arising from the use, misuse, or inability to use any Orvex product, even if Orvex has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which the claim is brought.
28. Limitation Period
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to any product, transaction, or these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such claim or cause of action is permanently barred.
29. Social Media & Third-Party Content
The purchaser agrees not to publish, share, or distribute any content — including testimonials, reviews, social media posts, videos, or any other public communications — that associates Orvex products with human use, personal health outcomes, therapeutic benefits, or any application inconsistent with research use only. Any such content published by the purchaser constitutes a material violation of these Terms and releases Orvex from any and all liability arising from regulatory action, legal proceedings, or reputational harm resulting from said content. Orvex reserves the right to pursue legal remedies against any purchaser whose public communications create regulatory exposure for Orvex.
30. Intellectual Property
All content on the Site — including but not limited to product descriptions, images, logos, branding, text, and documentation — is the exclusive property of Orvex and is protected under applicable intellectual property and copyright laws. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, modification, or use of any content from the Site, in whole or in part, without prior written consent from Orvex, is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
31. Email & Electronic Communications
By creating an account or placing an order, the purchaser consents to receive transactional and administrative communications relating to orders, compliance, and account management. These communications are a necessary part of the service and are not subject to opt-out while an account remains active. Marketing communications are sent only where the purchaser has provided any consent required by law, and the purchaser may withdraw such consent at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism provided, in accordance with the CAN-SPAM Act. If you provide a mobile number and opt in, you consent to receive text messages from Orvex; message and data rates may apply, message frequency varies, you may cancel at any time by replying STOP, and reply HELP for help. Any marketing calls or text messages are sent only with the express consent required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and such consent is not a condition of purchase.
32. Privacy & Personal Data
Orvex collects personal information — including name, email address, phone number, and shipping address — solely for the purpose of processing and fulfilling orders. This information is not sold or rented, and is shared only as required to process transactions (for example, payment processors and shipping carriers) under confidentiality obligations. Orvex employs industry-standard security measures to protect personal data. By using the Site, the purchaser acknowledges that no method of data transmission over the internet is entirely secure and that Orvex cannot guarantee absolute data security. For full details, refer to our Privacy Policy.
33. Cookies
The Site uses cookies to enhance user experience, analyze traffic, and improve functionality. By continuing to use the Site, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect certain features of the Site, including your ability to complete a purchase.
34. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites. Orvex is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or availability of any third-party site and does not endorse them. You access third-party sites at your own risk and should review their applicable terms and policies.
35. Dispute Resolution — Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any product or transaction with Orvex shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may seek relief in small-claims court for qualifying claims. The arbitration shall be conducted in Houston, Texas, in the English language, before a single arbitrator, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and Orvex agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remainder of these Terms shall remain in effect.
36. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms, and any disputes arising from or related to transactions with Orvex, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Subject to the arbitration provision above, any legal action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Houston, Texas, and the buyer irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
37. Force Majeure
Orvex shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, carrier or supplier failures, utility or network outages, or any change in law or regulatory action. During any such event, Orvex’s obligations shall be suspended for the duration of the event.
38. Assignment
The purchaser may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without Orvex’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void. Orvex may freely assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
39. No Agency
Nothing contained in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, franchise, or agency between the purchaser and Orvex. Neither party has the authority to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other’s behalf.
40. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be so modified, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
41. No Waiver
Orvex’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. No waiver by Orvex shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Orvex.
42. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Shipping Policy, the Returns & Refunds Policy, and any other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the purchaser and Orvex regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, representations, or agreements, whether written or oral. No statement made through customer support, social media, email, or any other channel modifies these Terms.
43. Survival
The following provisions, together with any others that by their nature should survive, shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms or of any transaction between the purchaser and Orvex: Research Use Only; Purchaser Responsibility & Legal Compliance; Assumption of Risk & Liability Waiver; Indemnification; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Limitation Period; Intellectual Property; Dispute Resolution; and Governing Law.
44. Notices
All legal notices to Orvex must be sent in writing to support@orvex.co and are deemed given upon confirmed receipt. Orvex may provide notices to the purchaser by email to the address associated with the purchaser’s account or order, or by posting on the Site, and such notice is deemed given when sent or posted. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to maintain a current, valid email address.
45. Changes to These Terms
Orvex reserves the right to update, modify, or replace any portion of these Terms at any time. All changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date and apply prospectively to purchases made and Site use occurring after the effective date. Changes do not retroactively alter the terms applicable to purchases already completed.
