Terms of Sale

NorthStar Compounds · nscompounds.com

Agreement

These Terms of Sale govern every order placed with NorthStar Compounds through this website. By confirming eligibility at the entrance and by placing an order, the purchaser accepts these terms, the Research Access Policy, the Privacy Policy, the Refunds & Returns policy and the Shipping Policy, each of which is incorporated here. NorthStar Compounds does not accept any purchase order terms or other conditions proposed by a purchaser.

Research use only

All products are sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use by qualified researchers. They are not intended for, and must not be used in, human or animal consumption, administration or application of any kind, nor for any diagnostic, therapeutic, cosmetic, food, supplement, performance or recreational purpose. Product names, descriptions, quantities and certificates of analysis are provided for research identification only and are not labeling for any other use.

Purchaser representations

By placing an order the purchaser represents and warrants that: (a) the purchaser is a qualified researcher, or is purchasing on behalf of a laboratory or institution that employs qualified researchers; (b) the products will be used only for lawful in-vitro research under the purchaser's control; (c) the purchaser has the knowledge, training, facilities and permits required to receive, handle, store and dispose of the products safely; (d) the products will not be resold, transferred or diverted to any other person or use; and (e) all information provided at the entrance and at checkout is true, complete and current.

Orders and acceptance

An order is an offer to purchase. NorthStar Compounds accepts it only when the order ships. NorthStar Compounds may refuse, limit, cancel or hold any order at any time and for any reason, including a shipping address, stated use, order pattern, payment signal or conduct that is inconsistent with research use, and will refund any amount paid for an order it cancels.

Prices, taxes and payment

Prices are stated in United States dollars and may change without notice; the price charged is the price shown at the time the order is placed. The purchaser is responsible for all applicable sales, use, excise, import and similar taxes and duties. Payment is collected in full at the time of order by the payment processor shown at checkout; NorthStar Compounds does not receive or store card numbers. A payment that is later reversed, disputed or charged back without first contacting NorthStar Compounds is a breach of these terms, and NorthStar Compounds may recover the amount, its costs and any fees from the purchaser and may refuse future orders.

Shipping and risk of loss

Products ship only to verified research addresses in the United States and Canada, as described in the Shipping Policy. Title and risk of loss pass to the purchaser on delivery to the address provided. NorthStar Compounds is not responsible for delay, loss or damage after delivery, for the consequences of an incorrect or incomplete address supplied by the purchaser, or for carrier delays outside its control.

Returns and refunds

Returns and refunds are governed by the Refunds & Returns policy. Nothing in these terms limits any refund right that applicable law grants and that cannot be waived.

Product information and no warranty

Specifications, purity data and certificates of analysis describe the tested lot at the time of testing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, products are provided "as is" and NorthStar Compounds disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. NorthStar Compounds makes no representation that any product is suitable for any purpose other than in-vitro research.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NorthStar Compounds's total liability arising out of or relating to any order or product is limited to the amount paid for that order, and NorthStar Compounds is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or business, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of their possibility. This limitation applies in addition to, and not in place of, the research-use-only restrictions above.

Indemnity

The purchaser will defend, indemnify and hold harmless NorthStar Compounds, its owners, officers, employees, contractors and partners from any claim, loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to the purchaser's breach of these terms, any misrepresentation at the entrance or at checkout, or any use, handling, storage, transfer or disposal of a product by the purchaser or by anyone who obtains it from the purchaser.

Compliance with law

The purchaser is solely responsible for determining that the purchase, import, possession, handling and use of each product is lawful in the purchaser's jurisdiction, and for obtaining any permit or license required. Products may be subject to export, import and controlled-substance laws; the purchaser will not export, re-export or transfer any product in violation of any such law.

Governing law and disputes

These terms and every order are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts located there have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that is not resolved informally. The purchaser agrees to contact NorthStar Compounds and to make a good-faith attempt to resolve any dispute before initiating any claim, chargeback or proceeding. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

General

If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. NorthStar Compounds's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the policies incorporated above, are the entire agreement between the purchaser and NorthStar Compounds for each order. NorthStar Compounds may update these terms at any time; the version published on this page applies to orders placed after it is published.
