Researcher Agreement

Last updated

You accept this agreement when you verify as a researcher before checkout. It works alongside our Terms of Service and Research Use Disclaimer, and it’s between you and Ledger Aminos LLC. Version 2026-10.

1. Your declaration

You confirm that you are a qualified researcher, or work under the direct supervision of one, and that you are buying solely for lawful in vitro and laboratory research. You will not administer any product to a person or animal, consume it, use it for self-experimentation, or supply it to anyone for those purposes. You will not present any product as a medicine, treatment, diagnostic, food, dietary supplement or cosmetic.

2. The capacity you buy in

  • Independent: you conduct research on your own account. Independent researchers meet the same research-use, qualification and legal requirements as organizations. Choosing Independent doesn’t allow a personal, household, human-use or veterinary-use purchase.
  • University: you research at a college or university and confirm with the email address it gave you.
  • Institution / lab: you buy for a company, laboratory or other research organization and confirm with its email address.

Choose the category that honestly describes you. If you buy for an organization, you confirm you’re authorized to do so and to make these statements for it. A personal email address doesn’t prove or disprove your qualifications on its own.

3. Facilities and responsibility

You confirm you have the training, equipment, storage, handling procedures and waste-disposal arrangements the materials require, and you’ll obtain any supervision, permits or institutional approvals your work needs. You’re responsible for following the laws that apply where the materials are received, stored, used, transferred and disposed of.

4. Accurate information

You’ll give accurate, current information about your identity, contact details, category and organization. You won’t use another person’s identity, claim credentials you don’t hold, or send misleading documents. If something changes, update your details before your next order.

5. Requests for more information

If a question comes up about your eligibility, your information, your authority to buy or your intended research use, we may ask for information reasonably needed to resolve it, such as your research role, organization, purchasing authority or arrangements for handling the materials. We’ll tell you what we need and why, give you a reasonable deadline, and tell you how to reach us. You may redact information unrelated to the question. We will never ask for passwords, email codes, full card numbers or medical information.

6. Paused and cancelled orders

  • While a question is open, we may pause the unshipped items in your order.
  • If you can’t or don’t want to answer, you may cancel the unshipped items by emailing support@ledgeraminos.com with your order number.
  • If you cancel, or we decline or cancel unshipped items because a question stays unresolved, we refund everything you paid for those items, including tax and shipping for services we won’t perform. We don’t charge a verification, cancellation or restocking fee, and we refund to your original payment method promptly.
  • If a pause means your order can’t ship by the date shown at checkout, we’ll tell you, give you a new date and let you cancel for a full refund, as our shipping policy describes.
  • Items already shipped are covered by our returns and replacements policy.

7. Records we keep

We keep a record of each verification and confirmation: your name, email, category, organization, the agreement version, the time, and the IP address and device information it came from. We use these records for compliance, fraud prevention and dispute response, including payment disputes, as our Privacy Policy describes. The records are kept in a tamper-evident log.

8. Remembering your device

If you choose “Remember this device,” you can skip the declarations on that device for 30 days while this agreement’s version is unchanged. You can end it at any time by clearing your browser’s cookies. Every order still asks you to confirm the research-use statement.

9. Electronic acceptance and versions

Ticking “I agree” and continuing is your electronic signature. The version you accepted applies to your orders until we publish a new version, which you’ll be asked to accept at your next checkout. A new version doesn’t take away a refund you were already owed.

10. How this fits with our other terms

Our Terms of Service govern everything this agreement doesn’t cover, including how disputes are resolved. Nothing here limits a right the law doesn’t allow to be limited, or your right to dispute a charge with your card issuer.
