The Company reserves the absolute right to refuse sale, cancel any order, suspend or terminate any account, and report to authorities any Customer suspected of purchasing or using Products for any purpose inconsistent with lawful Research Use Only.

Orders, Pricing & Payment

Submission of an order constitutes an offer to purchase, subject to acceptance by the Company. No binding contract is formed until the Company confirms acceptance. The Company may refuse, cancel, or limit any order for any reason, including suspected fraud, regulatory restrictions, pricing errors, or indications that Products may be intended for prohibited purposes.
