Payment in full is required at the time of order placement. Peplix accepts payment via the methods listed on the checkout page. By submitting payment, the Purchaser confirms that they are authorised to use the payment method provided.

6. Shipping, Handling & Cold Chain

6.1 Cold Chain Compliance

Peptide research compounds are sensitive to temperature, light, and humidity. Peplix ships all lyophilised peptide compounds with appropriate cold-chain packaging, including insulated packaging and ice or dry ice where required, to maintain product integrity during transit. Standard shipping transit times apply and Peplix does not guarantee specific delivery dates.

6.2 International Shipping

Purchaser is responsible for all import duties, taxes, customs fees, and any delays arising from customs inspection in the destination country. Peplix will provide accurate commercial invoices describing products as research reagents/synthetic peptide reference standards. Purchaser is responsible for ensuring that import of the ordered compounds is lawful in their jurisdiction prior to placing an order.

6.3 Ownership & Risk of Loss

Title and risk of loss pass to the Purchaser upon handover to the shipping carrier. Peplix is not liable for loss, theft, or damage occurring after handover to the carrier. Purchasers are encouraged to obtain shipping insurance for high-value orders.

7. Product Quality & Certificates of Analysis

7.1 Quality Standards

All Peplix research compounds are tested by independent third-party analytical laboratories. Each product lot is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming purity (by HPLC), identity (by mass spectrometry or equivalent), and lot number. Copies of CoAs are available on the Peplix website and upon request.

7.2 Purity Specifications

Unless otherwise stated on the product listing, all Peplix peptide reference standards are supplied at a minimum purity of 98.0% by HPLC. Specific purity values are stated on each product CoA. Purchaser acknowledges that minor lot-to-lot variation within stated specifications is inherent to biological compound manufacturing and does not constitute a product defect.

7.3 Storage Responsibility

Peplix warrants product integrity at the time of shipment. Purchaser is responsible for appropriate storage of all compounds upon receipt in accordance with the storage conditions stated on the CoA and product documentation. Peplix is not responsible for product degradation resulting from improper storage by the Purchaser.

8. Returns, Refunds & Disputes

Given the perishable and regulated nature of research compounds, Peplix operates the following returns policy:

Defective products (confirmed purity below stated specification): Peplix will, at its election, provide a replacement product or full refund, provided the claim is made within 7 days of delivery with supporting documentation.
Products damaged in transit: Photographic evidence of damage must be submitted within 48 hours of delivery. Peplix will coordinate with the shipping carrier and, where applicable, issue a replacement or refund.
Purchaser error (incorrect order, change of mind): No returns or refunds are available for purchaser error orders given the nature of the products.
Refused or unclaimed shipments: No refunds are available for orders refused or unclaimed at destination, as these situations may trigger regulatory obligations for which Peplix cannot assume liability.

To initiate a return or refund claim, contact support@peplix.bio within the applicable timeframe with your order number, a description of the issue, and supporting documentation.

9. Limitation of Liability & Indemnification
