4. Product Information & Disclaimer

• Information provided is for educational purposes only.
• Certificates of Analysis (COAs) may be batch-level and are available upon request from third-party laboratories. Availability is not guaranteed for every batch at the time of order; timing/provision is not a condition of sale.
• Appearance or labeling may vary by batch.

5. No FDA Approval

Warning: None of our products are FDA-approved. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

6. Compliance is Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for ensuring that research compounds are legal to purchase, possess, and use in your jurisdiction.

7. Payment & Order Fulfillment

• Orders must be paid in full before shipping.
• Order Acceptance: Receipt of an order or payment authorization does not constitute acceptance. We accept an order only upon shipment; we may cancel or limit quantities at our discretion.
• Refusal of Service: Empower Peptides LLC, as a subsidiary of Empower Group Holdings LLC, reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or terminate service at its sole discretion, including but not limited to situations involving abusive or inappropriate communication, repeated payment issues, policy violations, suspected fraud, chargeback risk, misuse of products, or behavior deemed detrimental to the company, its staff, or its operations. In such cases, orders may be canceled without prior notice and future service may be declined.
• Identity Verification (KYC): Identity and age verification are required for all orders prior to processing or shipment. Empower Peptides may utilize AgeChecker.net or another approved verification provider to verify purchaser identity, age eligibility, payment authorization, and fraud-prevention compliance.

• Orders remain pending until payment is received, verified, and all required identity verification steps are completed. If payment is not received within the required timeframe of 2 hours, the order may be automatically cancelled.
• Customers are responsible for following the payment instructions provided at checkout and ensuring payments are sent correctly when using manual payment methods such as cryptocurrency, bank transfer, or other approved manual payment options.
• Empower Peptides reserves the right to add, remove, or modify payment methods at any time without notice.
• Empower Peptides reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order at its sole discretion, including orders that cannot be verified or that violate our Terms and Conditions.

8. Shipping & Handling

Orders typically ship within 1–2 business days. We are not liable for shipping delays due to couriers, customs, or natural disruptions. Free standard shipping is either through UPS or USPS Ground service, which typically equates to 2–5 business days’ delivery time.

Shipping Carriers

We use USPS and UPS, depending on your location and selected shipping method. Transit times are determined by the carrier. Empower Peptides may change carriers without notice if doing so will result in faster or more secure delivery.

Shipping Policy & Damaged Goods

We ship Monday through Friday to ensure reliable delivery of research compounds.

Processing Time: Orders are processed within 1–2 business days. For orders received before 2:30pm, we try our best to ship the same day.

Friday Shipments: We do ship on Fridays. To hold your order until Monday to avoid weekend delays, email info@empower-peptides.com prior to shipment.

If your order arrives damaged or compromised, notify us within 72 hours of delivery with clear photos of packaging and product, including the tracking label.

Warm Weather Shipping & Ice Pack Disclaimer

We place products in insulated packages and may include ice packs with select shipments as a courtesy, not as a guarantee of temperature control. During warmer seasons, it is normal for ice packs to arrive thawed and for products to feel warm upon delivery.

All peptides are lyophilized (freeze-dried) unless otherwise stated and are stable at ambient temperatures for standard shipping durations. Integrity is not compromised by exposure to room temperature during transit.

Accordingly, refunds or replacements will not be issued solely due to the temperature of a package upon arrival. Customers concerned about temperature sensitivity may request expedited shipping at their own expense.

8A. Pricing, Availability & Errors

We may correct pricing, typographical, or listing errors and cancel any order affected by such errors, even after submission. Product availability may change without notice.

Identity Verification & Dispute Prevention

Empower Peptides utilizes identity and age verification systems, including AgeChecker.net or other approved verification providers, as part of its fraud-prevention and transaction security procedures.

By completing a purchase, customers acknowledge and agree that identity verification records, checkout verification logs, payment authorization records, shipping confirmation, delivery confirmation, customer communication records, and policy acknowledgment records may be retained and utilized in the event of a payment dispute, chargeback, fraud claim, ACH reversal, payment reversal, or unauthorized transaction investigation.

Customers further acknowledge that transactions completed following successful identity verification may be formally challenged if a dispute alleging fraud or unauthorized use is later initiated.

Disputes & Chargebacks

By placing an order, you agree to contact Empower Peptides first in good faith to attempt resolution before initiating any chargeback, payment dispute, fraud claim, ACH reversal, or bank reversal.

Chargebacks are not intended to replace normal customer service communication. Failure to contact us before filing a dispute may result in the dispute being formally challenged with supporting documentation.

In the event of a chargeback, fraudulent claim, unjustified dispute, or bad-faith payment reversal, Empower Peptides LLC and Empower Group Holdings LLC reserve the right to:

• Formally dispute the chargeback with supporting documentation.
• Submit order records, payment records, policy acknowledgments, shipping confirmation, delivery confirmation, customer communication records, and verification logs.
• Submit identity and age verification records to issuing banks, payment processors, acquiring banks, card networks, fraud-monitoring services, or dispute-resolution authorities.
• Permanently ban future purchasing.
• Recover chargeback-related fees, legal expenses, collection costs, bank fees, processor fees, and administrative expenses permitted by law.

Customers acknowledge that failure to follow the return and communication process outlined above may impact the outcome of any dispute filed with a financial institution.
