Research-Use Disclaimer

This Research-Use Disclaimer (this “Disclaimer”) is issued by Glacier Aminos LLC (“Glacier Aminos,” “Glacier,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and applies to all products (the “Material”) sold or made available through glacieraminos.shop, our customer accounts, and any other Glacier-operated channel (collectively, the “Services”). By browsing the Services, placing an order, or otherwise receiving Material from Glacier Aminos, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Disclaimer in full. This Disclaimer is incorporated by reference into our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

1. Research Use Only

All Material sold by Glacier Aminos is supplied solely for in-vitro laboratory research, analytical, scientific, or compound-characterization purposes by qualified professionals. Material is not sold, intended, or fit for any other use. Specifically:

• Material is not for human consumption, ingestion, inhalation, injection, topical application, or any other route of administration to a living human being.
• Material is not for veterinary or animal use and may not be administered to any animal under any circumstances.
• Material is not a drug, dietary supplement, food, food additive, cosmetic, or medical device, and is not intended for any clinical, therapeutic, diagnostic, prophylactic, or prognostic use.
• Material may not be incorporated into any product intended for human or animal use, sale, or distribution.

2. No FDA Evaluation; No Medical Claims

Statements made on our website, in product descriptions, in marketing communications, in COAs, or elsewhere in the Services have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or by any other regulatory authority. No statement made by Glacier Aminos describes, recommends, or implies any medical or therapeutic use of Material. Nothing in the Services constitutes medical, scientific, regulatory, legal, or professional advice.

Material is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or condition. Any information about the chemical properties or biological activity of a compound is provided strictly for educational and scientific reference and must not be relied upon as a representation that the compound is safe, effective, or appropriate for any particular purpose.

3. Not a Compounding Pharmacy or Outsourcing Facility

Glacier Aminos is a research-chemical supplier. Glacier Aminos is not a compounding pharmacy and not an outsourcing facility as those terms are defined under Sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, respectively. Material is not manufactured under cGMP for human or veterinary pharmaceutical use, is not labeled as a drug or medical device, and is not sold or marketed for any such purpose. Glacier Aminos does not employ pharmacists or compound prescription medications.

4. Buyer Qualifications & Acknowledgments

By purchasing or receiving Material, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least twenty-one (21) years of age.
• You are a qualified researcher, scientist, laboratory professional, or technician with the training necessary to safely and lawfully handle research chemicals.
• You will use Material only in a properly equipped laboratory or analytical setting that meets the safety, ventilation, and containment standards appropriate for the Material you ordered.
• You have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this Disclaimer, our Terms & Conditions, and our Privacy Policy.
• You will not administer Material to humans or animals, use it in or with any product intended for human or animal use, or sell, gift, transfer, or otherwise distribute Material to any person who is not similarly qualified.

5. Researcher Responsibility & Safe Handling

You are solely responsible for:

• The safe handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of Material in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and laboratory safety standards.
• Selecting and using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), engineering controls (e.g., fume hoods, glove boxes), and standard operating procedures suitable for the Material.
• Maintaining and following written safety protocols, incident-response plans, and emergency contact procedures.
• Determining whether Material is suitable for your intended research and verifying its identity, purity, and integrity prior to use.
• Conducting any required stability testing, recalibration, or independent verification appropriate for your research application.
• Compliance with the safety, environmental, and waste-disposal standards of your facility, institution, or jurisdiction.

Glacier Aminos provides Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and any available safety-data sheets as a reference resource only. These documents do not relieve you of the obligation to handle Material in accordance with the standards applicable to your specific research environment.

6. Compliance with Laws & Regulations

You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations governing the purchase, possession, handling, storage, transportation, transfer, export, and disposal of research chemicals in your jurisdiction. Without limitation, you agree to comply with:

• All applicable federal laws of the United States, including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act (and its regulations administered by the Drug Enforcement Administration), and the Toxic Substances Control Act.
• All applicable state and local laws and regulations regarding laboratory chemical possession and use.
• All applicable U.S. export-control laws, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and economic-sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
• All applicable institutional, biosafety-committee, IRB, and animal-care-committee requirements where applicable to your work.

Glacier Aminos makes no representation that Material is appropriate or lawful for use in any particular jurisdiction. If you are unsure, consult qualified legal counsel before placing an order.

7. Per-Batch Verification; Per-Compound Specifications

Every batch of Material is independently tested before it is offered for sale, and the signed Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each batch is published in our COA library and linked directly from the QR code on every vial label. Glacier Aminos represents that each batch meets or exceeds the published purity specification appropriate for the compound. Different compounds carry different purity specifications reflecting their chemical nature; you are responsible for verifying that the published specification is appropriate for your intended research application.

Material is supplied “as is” based on its independent test results. We make no representation or warranty as to its suitability for any specific research application, downstream procedure, or instrument compatibility beyond the data published on the COA.

8. Prohibited Uses

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

• Administer Material to a human or animal under any circumstances.
• Incorporate Material into any food, beverage, dietary supplement, cosmetic, personal-care product, drug, medical device, or any other product intended for sale or distribution to consumers.
• Resell, repackage, relabel, decant, redistribute, donate, or transfer Material to any third party without our prior written approval.
• Use, transport, or possess Material in violation of any law or regulation in any jurisdiction.
• Make any claim, on any platform, suggesting that Glacier Aminos has endorsed, recommended, or approved a particular use of Material for human or veterinary purposes.

Any use of Material in violation of this Disclaimer is at your sole risk and constitutes a material breach of these Terms.

9. No Reliance on Third-Party Information

Information published online, in scientific literature, or by other third parties regarding any compound is the responsibility of the source that publishes it. Glacier Aminos does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for third-party information. You should consult primary sources, peer-reviewed literature, and qualified professionals before designing any research protocol involving Material.

10. Limitation of Liability & Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Glacier Aminos disclaims all liability arising out of or related to your use, misuse, handling, storage, or disposal of Material, regardless of the theory of liability. The limitations of liability set out in our Terms & Conditions apply with full force to this Disclaimer.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Glacier Aminos, its members, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use or misuse of Material; (b) your violation of this Disclaimer, our Terms & Conditions, or any applicable law; or (c) any injury, illness, property damage, or other harm to any person or entity caused by Material once it is in your possession.

11. Relationship to Terms & Conditions

This Disclaimer is incorporated into and supplements our Terms & Conditions, which govern your broader relationship with Glacier Aminos. In the event of any conflict between this Disclaimer and the Terms & Conditions, the provision that most strongly protects Glacier Aminos and that most clearly emphasizes the research-use-only nature of Material will control.

12. Severability & No Waiver

If any provision of this Disclaimer is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. No failure or delay by Glacier Aminos to enforce any provision of this Disclaimer operates as a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.

13. Acceptance

By placing an order, creating an account, or otherwise using the Services, you affirm that you have read, understood, and accepted this Disclaimer in full. If you do not agree with any provision of this Disclaimer, you must not place an order and you must not use the Services.
