4. Human-Use Cancellation and Refund Clause
Any order will be immediately cancelled and fully refunded if ResearchPure receives communication through any channel — including but not limited to email, website chat, social media, telephone, or any other medium — indicating that the buyer or any third party intends to administer, consume, inject, ingest, or otherwise use the product on or in a human being or animal. Records of such communications are retained for a minimum of two (2) years and may be disclosed to regulatory or law enforcement authorities as required by applicable law.
This clause applies regardless of whether the communication occurs before, during, or after order fulfillment. Buyers who have received product and subsequently communicate human-use intent will be required to return or destroy the materials and certify such return or destruction in writing.
5. Right to Cancel Non-Compliant Orders
ResearchPure reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel any order and issue a full refund if:

- Any communication suggests human or animal use intent;
- The buyer has previously violated these Terms of Sale;
- Fulfilling the order would violate any applicable law or regulation;
- ResearchPure's payment processor, banking institution, or compliance program requires cancellation.
