Terms & Conditions
Version dated 28 September 2026
1 About us and these Terms
These Terms govern purchases from Black Summit Ventures Ltd, trading as Peptology Labs, and use of our website. Black Summit Ventures Ltd is registered in the Republic of Cyprus under company number HE 498301.
Business address: Amathountos 74, Agios Tychonas, 4532 Limassol, Cyprus.
Email: info@peptologylabs.is
“We”, “us” and “our” refer to Black Summit Ventures Ltd. “You” means the customer or website user. A “business customer” purchases in the course of a trade, business, craft or profession. A “consumer” is an individual acting outside those purposes, as determined by applicable law.
Read these Terms before ordering. By placing an order, you agree to them. These Terms apply to orders placed with Black Summit Ventures Ltd; they do not retrospectively change the contracting party for previous orders.
Nothing in these Terms excludes any obligation, liability or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
2 Research use only
All compounds and related materials are supplied exclusively for lawful laboratory research and analytical purposes, for handling by suitably competent persons in appropriate facilities.
Products must not be used for human or animal consumption or administration, self-experimentation, clinical or veterinary treatment, diagnostic procedures on humans or animals, cosmetic treatment, performance enhancement, or as food or dietary supplements.
Injection, ingestion, inhalation, topical application and any other introduction into or onto a human or animal body are prohibited. Products must not be used to manufacture or prepare anything intended for those purposes.
These restrictions are material conditions of supply. A product name, vial size, packaging format, analytical result or scientific reference does not authorise a prohibited use.
3 Eligibility and customer representations
By ordering, you represent that:
- you are at least 18 and legally capable of entering into the contract;
- you are purchasing solely for a genuine, lawful laboratory or analytical purpose;
- you have the competence, facilities and equipment needed to handle and store the products safely;
- your purchase, possession and intended activities comply with the laws and permissions applicable to you;
- you will not use or knowingly supply the products for any prohibited purpose;
- the identity, delivery and research-purpose information you provide is accurate; and
- if ordering for an organisation, you have authority to bind it.
We may request reasonable information about the purchaser, organisation, facilities or intended research before accepting or fulfilling an order. Failure to provide information reasonably needed to verify eligibility may result in refusal or cancellation under section 10.
4 Product information and advice
Our products are offered as research materials. We make no representation that they are authorised or suitable for human or veterinary administration.
We do not provide medical advice, dosing instructions, administration guidance or treatment protocols. Scientific descriptions, technical information and any laboratory calculation tools are provided for research-reference purposes only and must not be used to plan human or animal administration.
You must assess suitability for your particular lawful research method. Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not warrant compatibility with your equipment, methods or other materials, or any particular experimental result.
This section does not remove an agreed product specification or make applicable product safety information optional.
5 Product descriptions and specifications
The product description and any expressly stated specifications shown when you order identify what we agree to supply. Illustrative photographs do not guarantee an identical visual appearance. Non-material differences in packaging or presentation may occur without changing the agreed specification.
We may amend listings and correct errors for future orders. We will not substitute a materially different product or specification in an accepted order without your agreement.
Storage conditions, expiry information and stated limitations form part of the relevant product information. No additional shelf life or stability following opening, mixing or reconstitution is promised unless expressly stated.
6 Batch testing and Certificates of Analysis
Where testing or a Certificate of Analysis (“COA”) is stated to be available, its scope is limited to the identified sample, batch, methods and parameters. Results reflect the sample at the time of testing and are subject to the method’s limitations and measurement uncertainty.
A purity or identity result does not establish sterility, endotoxin levels, absence of every contaminant or suitability for administration. A test for one parameter does not establish an untested parameter. No COA or analytical result authorises human or animal use.
Different methods, sampling procedures and handling conditions can produce different results. We do not promise that another laboratory will obtain an identical numerical result. This does not excuse failure to meet an agreed specification.
If you identify a suspected discrepancy, provide the batch number, laboratory report, method and available information about sampling and storage. We may reasonably request preservation of remaining material and arrange an investigation or independent retest. Consumer remedies are not conditional on purchasing an independent laboratory report.
7 Orders and contract formation
Product listings invite you to submit an order. Your order is an offer to purchase. An automated acknowledgement or receipt of payment does not itself mean acceptance.
We accept an order when we send an express acceptance or dispatch confirmation, whichever occurs first. Acceptance of part of an order applies only to that part. We may decline an order before acceptance, including for stock, eligibility, payment, error or compliance reasons.
You must check the products, quantities, currency, contact details and delivery information before submitting your order. Requested changes are subject to our agreement and may not be possible once processing or dispatch has begun.
If we decline a paid order, we will refund the payment for the unaccepted items and associated unincurred delivery charges without undue delay.
8 Prices and payment
The checkout identifies the transaction currency, product prices and delivery charges. Consumer prices include taxes that we are required to collect; any additional destination charges payable by the recipient will be explained before ordering where applicable.
Payment is due in full through an available checkout method unless we agree otherwise in writing. You must be authorised to use the payment method supplied. Currency conversion and charges imposed independently by your bank or payment provider are governed by your arrangement with that provider.
We may change prices for future orders. If an error affects your order before acceptance, we may offer the corrected price or decline the order and refund the relevant payment. We will not charge an increased price without your agreement. After acceptance, an error permits cancellation only where the contract or applicable law allows it.
9 Discounts and loyalty benefits
Discounts, referral offers and loyalty benefits are subject to the conditions made available when the offer is presented. They have no cash value unless expressly stated or required by law.
We may reject an invalid, expired or fraudulently obtained benefit. Points or rewards generated by a cancelled or refunded purchase may be reversed to the extent attributable to that purchase.
Changes to promotional schemes apply prospectively and will not retrospectively alter an accepted order. Refunds reflect the price actually paid, with order-level discounts allocated proportionately where relevant.
10 Refusal and cancellation by us
We may refuse future service or restrict an account where we reasonably suspect fraud, false information, prohibited use, unlawful onward supply, circumvention of restrictions or a material breach of these Terms.
After acceptance, we may suspend fulfilment for a reasonable period to investigate credible concerns of that kind. We may cancel an unfulfilled order where a material breach is established, required verification is not provided after reasonable notice, payment is not received, or fulfilment would be unlawful. Where a breach can reasonably be remedied, we will allow an appropriate opportunity to remedy it.
If we cancel, we will refund amounts paid for goods not supplied and any delivery charges not incurred, without prejudice to a lawful claim arising from your breach.
11 Delivery and ownership
Available destinations, delivery services, charges and estimated timeframes are stated before ordering. Estimates are not guaranteed dates unless expressly agreed. For consumer orders, delivery will take place within the agreed period or, if no period is agreed, within 30 days after the contract is concluded.
You must provide a complete address and arrange for receipt and appropriate storage. Contact us promptly about a delivery problem. We may request reasonable cooperation with a carrier investigation, but carrier procedures do not replace our contractual responsibilities.
Ownership passes when we have received full cleared payment. For consumers, risk passes when you or your nominated recipient, other than the carrier, obtains physical possession, subject to any statutory exception for a carrier independently commissioned by you.
For business customers, risk passes on physical delivery to the agreed address or to a carrier independently appointed by the customer, unless different delivery terms are agreed in writing.
12 International orders and customs
You must obtain any import permission or other authorisation that the law requires you, as purchaser or recipient, to hold. We may restrict destinations or products and request relevant evidence before fulfilment.
Destination duties, import taxes and clearance charges are payable by you only where allocated to you before ordering and permitted by law. Seller, exporter and importer obligations imposed on us by law remain ours.
Customs inspections can affect delivery. If your inaccurate information, failure to obtain a required permission or refusal to pay properly disclosed charges causes additional reasonable costs, we may recover those costs where legally permitted.
13 Failed deliveries and address errors
If you provide an incorrect address, fail to collect an available parcel or refuse delivery without a valid reason, we may charge reasonable, evidenced costs of return and redelivery that result from your action, where permitted by law.
We will explain any proposed charge or lawful refund deduction. We will not charge you for a delivery failure caused by us. A valid exercise of statutory withdrawal rights is governed by section 15.
14 Inspection and product complaints
Please inspect your order promptly and report missing, incorrect, damaged or apparently compromised items to info@peptologylabs.is, preferably within 48 hours. Include your order number, a description of the problem and available photographs of the goods and packaging.
Retain relevant packaging and affected material where safe and reasonably practicable. Stop using material suspected to be compromised and contact us for instructions. Do not send potentially hazardous or contaminated material through an unsuitable postal service.
The requested 48-hour notification assists investigation; it is not a deadline that extinguishes statutory rights. We may reasonably inspect or test a disputed product, without undue delay to any required remedy.
15 Consumer withdrawal
If you are a consumer entitled to cancel a distance purchase, you may withdraw without giving a reason within 14 days after you or your nominated recipient, other than the carrier, receives the goods. Where goods in one order are delivered separately, the period runs from receipt of the last item. Any statutory extension applies.
To withdraw, send a clear statement to info@peptologylabs.is or our business address in section 1 before the period expires. You may use the model form at the end of these Terms, but it is not compulsory. You may also use the online withdrawal function at Submit a withdrawal request online. We will acknowledge an online withdrawal without undue delay by email or another durable medium.
Return the goods without undue delay and within 14 days after notifying us. Contact us promptly for the appropriate return address and safe shipping instructions. Our approval is not required for a valid statutory withdrawal, and our response does not extend your return deadline unless agreed or required by law.
You pay the direct return cost unless we agree otherwise or the law requires us to pay it. If a product cannot normally be returned by post, the applicable return-cost estimate will be provided before purchase.
We will refund payments due, including the cost of our least expensive standard outbound delivery where required, within 14 days after receiving your withdrawal notice. We may withhold the refund until we receive the goods or evidence that they have been sent back, whichever occurs first, unless we have offered to collect them. Refunds use the original payment method unless you expressly agree otherwise and incur no refund fee.
You are responsible for diminished value caused by handling beyond what is necessary to establish the goods’ nature, characteristics and functioning, where the law permits this. Opening, mixing, contamination or unsuitable storage may cause such loss; any deduction must reflect actual diminished value and be legally justified.
16 Withdrawal exceptions and discretionary returns
A statutory withdrawal exception applies only where its legal conditions are met. Relevant examples may include genuinely personalised goods, goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly, or sealed goods unsuitable for return for health-protection or hygiene reasons once unsealed. Any applicable exception will be identified before purchase.
Business purchases carry no contractual change-of-mind return right unless agreed in writing. Where no statutory right applies, any return, exchange or credit is discretionary and requires our written agreement. We may require such goods to be unused, unopened, uncontaminated, properly stored and returned in original packaging.
17 Faulty or nonconforming goods
Goods are subject to the legal guarantee of conformity where applicable. If goods are faulty, incorrect or fail to match the contract, contact us using section 14. We will provide the remedy and bear the associated costs required by applicable law, which may include replacement, repair where appropriate, price reduction or refund.
We do not provide an additional voluntary guarantee unless expressly stated. The legal guarantee does not mean a compound remains usable beyond its stated shelf life or irrespective of storage conditions.
We are not responsible for a defect to the extent caused by your subsequent misuse, contamination, unauthorised modification, incompatible mixing or failure to follow appropriate storage instructions. This does not remove responsibility for a defect present when supplied.
18 Handling and onward supply
After delivery, you are responsible for safe storage, controlled access, handling, risk assessment, protective equipment and lawful disposal appropriate to the material. Review relevant labels and safety documentation and retain batch traceability where required.
You must not remove required warnings, mislabel products, conceal their origin or supply them onward for prohibited use. Lawful onward supply must preserve applicable warnings and documentation and comply with obligations imposed on the onward supplier.
You may not represent yourself as our authorised distributor or agent without written permission. Business customers must take reasonable steps to ensure personnel acting on their behalf comply with these restrictions.
19 Responsibility for misuse
You are responsible for consequences attributable to your breach of the research-use restrictions, unlawful activities, unsafe handling or improper storage. We do not accept responsibility for losses to the extent caused by those acts or omissions rather than a breach or other liability on our part.
You must take reasonable steps to limit avoidable loss when you identify a problem. The liability provisions below apply to any claim.
20 Liability
Nothing excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, mandatory product liability, or any other liability that the law prohibits us from excluding or limiting.
For consumers, we are responsible for foreseeable loss caused by our breach or failure to exercise legally required care. We do not accept liability for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was made or for business losses arising from a consumer purchase. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
For business customers, subject to the first paragraph and to the extent permitted by law:
- we exclude implied terms and warranties concerning quality or fitness for a particular purpose, without excluding an expressly agreed specification or our right to supply the goods;
- we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, anticipated savings, business, contracts, opportunity, goodwill or data, whether direct or indirect;
- we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss or for wasted research expenditure, repeat experiments or failure to achieve a particular research outcome; and
- our aggregate liability arising from an order, in contract, tort including negligence, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to the amount paid for the products giving rise to the claim.
These business limitations reflect supply of research materials without an agreed guarantee of a particular experimental result. A different specification, warranty or liability allocation must be expressly agreed in writing by an authorised representative before ordering.
21 Business customer indemnity
This section applies only to business customers. You will indemnify us against reasonable, evidenced third-party claims, liabilities and directly associated legal costs to the extent caused by your material breach of the research-use restrictions, unlawful onward supply, misleading claims about our products or negligent handling by you or persons acting on your behalf.
The indemnity does not cover loss attributable to our negligence, breach of contract or unlawful conduct, or any penalty that cannot lawfully be indemnified. We will notify you reasonably promptly of a relevant claim, take reasonable steps to mitigate it and allow reasonable participation in its defence. Neither party may agree a settlement imposing an obligation on the other without that party’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
22 Reviews and submitted content
Content submitted to our website must be genuine, lawful and relevant. It must not contain human or animal administration instructions, therapeutic claims, personal information about others, fabricated experiences or unlawful material.
We may moderate or remove content for those reasons, including references inconsistent with the research-only supply restrictions, while preserving the accuracy of any published review.
By submitting content for publication, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display it and make necessary formatting changes for that purpose. You must have authority to submit it. Publication does not give a customer or third party authority to speak on our behalf.
23 Intellectual property and website use
Website content, branding, photographs and other protected materials belong to us or our licensors. You may retain order records and relevant product documentation for lawful use, verification and compliance. Further reproduction or commercial use requires permission unless permitted by law.
You must not impersonate us, use our branding to suggest an unauthorised relationship, falsify COAs, bypass security or purchase restrictions, introduce malicious code or use automated systems that disrupt the website or unlawfully extract protected content.
24 Website availability and external services
We may maintain, update or temporarily suspend the website. Continuous or error-free availability is not promised. Changes to the website do not remove obligations under accepted orders.
External websites and independently supplied services may have their own terms. We do not control their content. Use of payment, delivery, hosting or testing providers does not exclude responsibility that the law places on us for performance of our own contracts.
25 Events outside our reasonable control
Where events beyond our reasonable control prevent or delay performance, we will take reasonable steps to limit their effect and inform affected customers where practicable. Such events may include serious transport disruption, natural disasters, war, government restrictions or major infrastructure failures.
Our affected obligations are suspended only for the period and extent reasonably necessary. This does not exclude statutory cancellation or refund rights. If performance becomes impossible, we will cancel the affected part and refund payments for goods not supplied.
26 Privacy and communications
Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is processed, including for orders, payments, delivery, support, fraud prevention and legal obligations. Acceptance of these Terms is not consent to marketing or non-essential cookies.
We may send necessary transactional communications to the contact details provided. Marketing is sent only where lawfully permitted. Keep your contact details accurate and your account credentials secure, and notify us promptly of suspected unauthorised access.
27 Complaints
Send complaints to info@peptologylabs.is with your order number and relevant details. We will investigate and respond within a reasonable time. Where information about an applicable alternative dispute-resolution body must be provided following an unresolved complaint, we will provide it as required.
28 Contract documents and changes
The Terms available when you submit an order, the product description and the delivery, returns and other conditions expressly presented as part of that order govern the contract. A specifically agreed written variation takes priority over a conflicting general provision. We will supply contractual information in a durable form where required.
For business customers, these documents form the entire agreement for the order and exclude terms introduced in a purchase order unless we expressly accept them. No provision excludes liability for fraud or overrides information that is legally binding on us.
Updates to these Terms apply to subsequent orders. Existing contracts are changed only by agreement or as required by law. We may use subcontractors while remaining responsible for our obligations. We may transfer contractual rights and obligations only where this does not reduce a consumer’s contractual or statutory protection.
If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues where the contract can lawfully operate without it. A delay in enforcement is not a waiver. Any waiver must relate to the specific circumstances for which it is given.
29 Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and contracts with Black Summit Ventures Ltd are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus. For consumers, this choice does not exclude mandatory protections of the law of their habitual residence that would otherwise apply.
The courts of the Republic of Cyprus have exclusive jurisdiction for business-customer disputes. For consumer disputes, Cyprus jurisdiction is subject to mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules.
