- You understand that our products are not approved as drugs, medicines, food supplements, or cosmetics.
- You accept full responsibility for ensuring compliance with all applicable local, national, and international regulations governing the purchase, possession, and use of research chemicals in your jurisdiction.
Origin Research reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order if we reasonably believe products will be used in a manner inconsistent with these terms.
2. Age Restriction
You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase products from Origin Research. By placing an order, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. We reserve the right to request proof of age and to cancel orders where the buyer cannot verify they meet this requirement.
