By accessing or using the Meridian Research website and purchasing products, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use this site or place any orders. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and customers.

You must meet all of the following criteria to purchase from Meridian Research:

• You are at least 21 years of age.
• You are a qualified researcher, scientist, laboratory professional, or otherwise authorized to handle research-grade compounds.
• You are purchasing for legitimate laboratory research, scientific study, or experimental purposes only.
• Your purchase and use of the products complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws in your jurisdiction.
• You are not purchasing on behalf of any person who does not meet the above criteria.

Meridian Research reserves the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or close accounts if we have reason to believe eligibility requirements are not met.

All products sold by Meridian Research are supplied exclusively for in vitro laboratory research, scientific study, and experimental purposes. These are research chemicals. They are not consumer products. By placing an order you explicitly acknowledge and agree that:

• Products are not for human or animal consumption under any circumstances, without exception.
• Products are not intended for ingestion, injection, inhalation, or topical application by humans or animals.
• Products are not for therapeutic, diagnostic, preventive, or veterinary use.
• Products are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any equivalent regulatory authority for human or clinical use.
• Products are not dietary supplements, drugs, nutraceuticals, or medical devices as defined by the FDA or applicable law.
• You will handle all compounds in a properly equipped laboratory environment in accordance with applicable safety standards.
• You will not use, administer, or distribute products in any manner inconsistent with their research-only and experimental designation.

Any use of Meridian Research products outside of controlled laboratory or experimental settings is a violation of these Terms and may constitute a violation of applicable law. Meridian Research bears no liability for any such misuse.

You may not use Meridian Research products for any of the following:

• Human or animal consumption, ingestion, injection, inhalation, or topical application of any kind.
• Self-experimentation or administration to any individual outside of an approved clinical or research setting.
• Resale as a consumer product, dietary supplement, or pharmaceutical without appropriate regulatory authorization.
• Use in clinical trials or human subjects research without proper institutional review board (IRB) approval and applicable regulatory filings.
• Any use that violates applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations.
• Distribution to individuals who do not meet the eligibility requirements in Section 2.

Product descriptions, specifications, and certificates of analysis are provided for informational and research reference purposes only. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but do not guarantee that all information is complete or error-free.

Prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order for any reason, including suspected misuse, suspected resale for human consumption, or inability to verify eligibility.

An order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of your order. Acceptance occurs when your order ships. If we cancel an order after payment, a full refund will be issued.

We accept payment by card and third-party payment services including PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App. The exact methods available are shown at checkout. Payment is handled by the provider you choose; Meridian Research does not collect, store, or retain your card numbers or bank details. All sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.

We ship both within the United States and internationally. Lyophilized and temperature-sensitive compounds are shipped with appropriate cold-chain packaging. Title transfers to you upon handoff to the carrier; if a shipment is lost or arrives damaged, see the Replacement Guarantee in our Refund Policy.

It is your sole responsibility to ensure that importing, possessing, or using the purchased compounds is legal in your jurisdiction. Meridian Research is not responsible for orders seized, delayed, or refused by customs or regulatory authorities.

All sales are final. We do not accept returns. We do not issue refunds. No exceptions. Due to the perishable and research-grade nature of our products, once an order ships, the transaction is complete and no refund, exchange, credit, or replacement will be issued under any circumstances.

Products are provided "as is" for research and experimental purposes only. Meridian Research makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding fitness for any particular research purpose, results of any experiment, or outcomes of any use. We expressly disclaim any warranty that our products are safe or suitable for human or animal use. We do not warrant that products are free from all contaminants beyond the purity levels stated in the applicable certificate of analysis.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Meridian Research and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your purchase or use of products, including any injury, harm, or damage resulting from misuse or use in violation of these terms. Our total liability for any claim arising from a specific order shall not exceed the amount paid for that order.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Meridian Research, its affiliates, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of products in violation of these terms, your breach of any applicable law, any injury or harm resulting from non-research use of our products, or any misrepresentation you make in connection with your purchase.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the applicable state or federal courts, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

We may update these terms at any time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
