End User Agreement
1. Acceptance and incorporation
This End User Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legally binding contract between you (“Purchaser,” “you”) and Bulk Research Supply (“BRS,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account, accessing the platform, or placing an order, you accept this Agreement. If you do not agree, you must not access the platform or purchase products. This Agreement incorporates by reference the Access Gate Disclosure displayed at platform entry.
2. Products; research use only
2.1 RUO status
All compounds, chemicals, and materials offered through the BRS platform (“Products”) are sold strictly for Research Use Only (RUO) — meaning in-vitro, bench, analytical, and other lawful scientific research purposes. Products are not intended for, and may not be used for, human or veterinary use, consumption, ingestion, injection, implantation, administration, compounding, manufacturing of foods/dietary supplements/drugs/cosmetics, or any application involving human or animal subjects.
2.2 Purchaser certification
You represent, warrant, and covenant that: (a) you are at least 21 years old; (b) you are purchasing Products on behalf of a bona fide research entity or for legitimate personal scientific research; (c) you will not use, resell, gift, or divert Products to any human or veterinary use; and (d) you are legally permitted to purchase and possess the Products in your jurisdiction.
2.3 Prohibited purchases
BRS reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order it reasonably believes is intended for human consumption, recreational use, or resale for such purposes. Any purchase in violation of this Section is a material breach.
3. Role of BRS; relationship with fulfillment suppliers
3.1 Seller of record
BRS is the seller of record and contracting counterparty on every order. BRS is not a marketplace, broker, or agent of any supplier.
3.2 No physical possession
BRS does not hold, warehouse, store, handle, inspect, or take physical possession of any Product. All Products are warehoused and shipped directly to you by independent third-party suppliers (“Fulfillment Suppliers”).
3.3 Separate entities
Each Fulfillment Supplier is a wholly separate and independent legal entity, not a subsidiary, affiliate, division, agent, joint venturer, partner, or employee of BRS. BRS is not responsible for the acts, omissions, products, representations, COAs, or conduct of any Fulfillment Supplier, and no Fulfillment Supplier has authority to bind BRS.
3.4 No agency or manufacturing
BRS does not manufacture, compound, process, repackage, relabel, or test any Product. Title to Products passes from BRS to Purchaser upon shipment from the applicable Fulfillment Supplier’s facility.
4. Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
4.1 Source of COAs
BRS does not itself order, commission, prepare, or generate COAs for Products. COAs are ordered and provided by the Fulfillment Suppliers and/or their contracted laboratories, and are made available through the platform as a courtesy for traceability purposes.
4.2 No verification; no warranty
BRS has not independently verified, and does not warrant, guarantee, or represent, the accuracy, authenticity, completeness, timeliness, or adequacy of any COA. COAs are provided “AS IS” and reflect only the analyses of the issuing supplier or laboratory. A COA is not, and shall not be construed as, a BRS representation regarding identity, purity, potency, composition, stability, or safety of any Product.
4.3 Direct inquiries
Any question, dispute, or claim regarding a COA must be directed to the Fulfillment Supplier or laboratory identified on the COA. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any Product’s identity, purity, and suitability for your research before use.
5. Disclaimers; assumption of risk
5.1 NO WARRANTIES. ALL PRODUCTS, COAS, AND PLATFORM CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BRS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.
5.2 Assumption of risk. You acknowledge that, absent physical possession, BRS cannot inspect Products and that Products may be subject to mislabeling, contamination, degradation, substitution, or variability in identity/purity. You assume all risk associated with receipt, handling, storage, verification, and research use of Products.
5.3 No medical/scientific advice. Nothing on the platform is medical, legal, or scientific advice.
6. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BRS AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR RESEARCH RESULTS. BRS’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any Product or order shall not exceed the amount you actually paid BRS for the specific Product giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not permit these exclusions; in such jurisdictions, liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted.
7. Indemnification
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BRS and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (a) your use of any Product; (b) any use of a Product for human or veterinary purposes; (c) your breach of this Agreement; (d) any third-party claim arising from your research activities; or (e) your reliance on any COA.
8. Compliance; export
You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including DEA, FDA, and state research-chemical statutes. You represent that you are not located in, and will not export or re-export Products to, any country or party subject to U.S. sanctions or export restrictions.
9. Order cancellation; refusal
BRS may refuse or cancel any order at its discretion, including where BRS reasonably suspects RUO-status violations. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery of possession to the delivery service provider.
10. Miscellaneous
10.1 Governing law; venue. Georgia State law, excluding conflicts rules; exclusive venue in Habersham County, Georgia, subject to mandatory consumer-law rights of your jurisdiction.
10.2 Entire agreement. This Agreement and the Access Gate Disclosure are the entire agreement regarding the platform and supersede all prior statements — oral or written — including any marketing materials.
10.3 Severability; no waiver; assignment. Standard clauses. Bulk Research Supply may assign to a successor of the platform.
