Terms & Conditions
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of the Elevated Research website and your purchase of any products from it. By entering the site, creating an account, or placing an order, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any product-specific disclaimers. If you do not agree, do not use the site or purchase products.
2. Eligibility & Age Requirement
You must be at least 21 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is greater), to use this site or place an order. By purchasing, you represent that you meet this requirement and are legally permitted to buy research materials where you live. We use an age-confirmation gate on entry; providing false information voids your order.
3. Research Use Only
All products sold by Elevated Research are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory and scientific research use only. They are NOT for human or veterinary use, consumption, ingestion, injection, or any diagnostic or therapeutic application. Products are intended solely for qualified researchers and institutions conducting lawful, non-clinical study. Every product is labeled “For Research Use Only — Not for Human Consumption.”
4. No Medical Claims or Advice
Nothing on this site — including product names, descriptions, references, or any linked or published content — is medical advice or a claim of safety or efficacy for any use in humans or animals. We do not provide dosing guidance for human use. Product information is for scientific and informational purposes only and has not been evaluated by the FDA.
5. Buyer Responsibility & Intended Use
You are solely responsible for your handling, storage, and use of any product purchased, and for ensuring your research is lawful and properly authorized. You agree that you are acquiring products exclusively for legitimate research that does not involve administration to humans or animals. Any misuse is at your sole risk, and you accept full responsibility for the consequences.
6. Regulatory Compliance
You are responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations that apply to your purchase, possession, and use of research materials, including obtaining any approvals your research requires. Elevated Research does not support or condone any use of its products that violates the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or any other law.
7. Product Information, Labeling & Certificates of Analysis
You agree to read and follow all label instructions, warnings, and disclaimers before opening or using any product. Where available, a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is provided for reference. Product specifications and appearance may vary; the label and accompanying documentation control.
8. Orders, Pricing & Payment
All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and reflect retail pricing unless a specific promotion applies. We may correct errors, change prices, or update product availability at any time without notice. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order, including where we suspect the intended use violates these Terms. Placing an order on this site submits an order request; it does not charge you and no payment is collected online. After you place an order, a member of our team will contact you to confirm the order and arrange payment and delivery or pickup. Your order is not final until payment is arranged directly with us.
9. Contact & Text-Message Consent
Because we arrange payment and delivery directly, a valid phone number is required to place an order, and you must consent at checkout to be contacted about your order. By providing your number and checking the consent box, you agree that Elevated Research (and its authorized representatives) may contact you by phone call and SMS text message at that number regarding your order, including to confirm details, arrange payment, and coordinate delivery or pickup. Consent is tied to order fulfillment and is not a condition of any unrelated marketing. Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, and reply HELP for help; opting out may delay or prevent us from completing your order. We handle your contact information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
10. Sales Representative Referral Codes
At checkout you may enter the referral code of the authorized sales representative who referred you, which credits that representative for the order. Codes have no cash value to the customer, do not change the price you pay, and may not be combined, sold, or transferred. Orders placed without a valid code are handled as house-account sales. Elevated Research determines representative eligibility and compensation.
11. Shipping, Delivery & Local Pickup
We offer local pickup and flat-rate shipping; free shipping may apply to orders above a stated threshold. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier or upon pickup. Delivery times are estimates only. You are responsible for providing accurate shipping information and for lawful receipt of your order at its destination.
12. Returns, Refunds & Damaged Goods
Because these are research materials, returns are limited. Claims for products damaged in transit or for order errors must be made within [X] days of delivery with supporting documentation. Approved remedies are, at our discretion, replacement or refund. Opened or used products are not returnable except where required by law.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
All products, content, and services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Elevated Research and its owners, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from research outcomes, misuse, or use of products in violation of these Terms. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid for the product giving rise to the claim.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Elevated Research and its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the site or products, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
16. Intellectual Property
All site content — including text, graphics, logos, and design — is the property of Elevated Research or its licensors and is protected by law. You may not copy, reproduce, or use it without our written permission.
17. Privacy
Your use of the site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what information we collect and how we use it. By using the site, you consent to those practices.
18. Prohibited Uses
You may not use the site or products for any unlawful purpose, to resell for human or animal consumption, to make therapeutic claims, or in any way that could subject Elevated Research to liability or regulatory action. We may suspend or terminate access for any violation.
19. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted to the site with a revised effective date. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
20. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [County], Kansas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
21. Severability & Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and product disclaimers, are the entire agreement between you and Elevated Research and supersede any prior understanding.
