By accessing the Site or purchasing any product, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Disclaimer in full. It is incorporated into and subject to our Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or purchase our products.
1. Research Use Only
All products offered by Cal Chem Supply are sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use only. They are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, dietary supplements, or medical devices, and they are not intended for human or animal consumption or for any clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or in-vivo application. Our products are intended solely for use by qualified professionals in a controlled laboratory setting.
The molecular data, specifications, and reference information provided on the Site are offered for informational purposes to support legitimate research and do not constitute any recommendation, instruction, or endorsement of any particular use.
2. Not a Pharmacy or Compounding Facility
Cal Chem Supply is a supplier of research chemicals. We are not a pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy under Section 503A, or an outsourcing facility under Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. We do not fill prescriptions, compound medications, or dispense any product for patient use, and nothing we sell should be treated as a substitute for a prescribed or approved medication.
3. No Health or Medical Claims
Nothing on the Site — including product descriptions, blog content, reference materials, or any other information — is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or health condition. No statement made by Cal Chem Supply has been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other regulatory authority. We make no representation that any product has any medical, therapeutic, cosmetic, or nutritional benefit, and no such claims should be inferred.
4. Regulatory Status
Our products are not approved by the FDA for use in or on humans or animals. They are not manufactured, labeled, or intended as pharmaceuticals, and they have not been evaluated for safety or efficacy in humans or animals. The sale and purchase of these products for research use does not imply approval, clearance, or authorization by any governmental or regulatory body.
5. Buyer Eligibility & Qualifications

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order where we reasonably believe these conditions are not met.
6. Assumption of Risk & Responsibility
By purchasing, the buyer affirms they meet the qualifications above and assumes full responsibility for the safe and lawful handling, use, storage, and disposal of all materials in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. You accept all risk associated with your possession and use of any product, and you agree that Cal Chem Supply bears no responsibility for any consequence arising from any use of a product inconsistent with its research-use-only designation.

Any such use is a misuse of the product, is strictly prohibited, and is undertaken entirely at your own risk and liability.
8. No Usage or Dosing Guidance
Cal Chem Supply does not provide, and our staff are not permitted to provide, any guidance on dosing, administration, reconstitution for human or animal use, cycling, stacking, or any other information relating to the use of our products in or on humans or animals. Customer support is limited to questions about orders, shipping, product specifications, and Certificates of Analysis.
Any communication indicating that a product is intended for human or animal use — whether by email, chat, social media, product review, or any other channel — may result in the cancellation of pending orders and the refusal of future sales.
9. Handling, Storage & Safety
Research chemicals may be hazardous and should be handled only by trained personnel using appropriate laboratory practices and personal protective equipment. You are responsible for reviewing all available product information and safety data before handling any product.
Product stability depends on proper storage. Once a product has been delivered, Cal Chem Supply is not responsible for any degradation, contamination, or loss of integrity resulting from storage, handling, or environmental conditions outside our control. Products should be stored according to the conditions indicated on the label or product page and kept out of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
10. No Professional Advice
The Site does not provide medical, legal, scientific, or professional advice of any kind. Any information presented is general in nature and should not be relied upon as a substitute for the independent judgment of a qualified professional. You are solely responsible for determining the suitability, legality, and safety of any product for your intended research application.
11. Product Information, Testing & Accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product information, including purity, specifications, and Certificates of Analysis where provided, is accurate. However, we do not warrant that such information is complete, current, or error-free. Certificates of Analysis reflect testing of a representative lot by the laboratory identified on the certificate, apply only to the lot tested, and are subject to the methods and limitations of that testing. They are provided for informational reference only. Product appearance, packaging, and presentation may vary.
12. Third-Party Content & Scientific Literature
The Site may reference or link to published scientific literature, research summaries, or other third-party content. Such references are provided for general informational and educational purposes only, describe research conducted by independent third parties, and do not constitute claims, representations, or endorsements regarding any Cal Chem Supply product or its suitability for any use. We do not control and are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of third-party content.
