Forge LX Labs · Research-Customer Qualification and Use Restrictions

Research Use Policy

This Research Use Policy defines who may qualify for purchasing access, the only purposes for which Forge LX Labs products are offered, the verification and continuing obligations imposed on approved purchasers, and the conduct that is strictly prohibited.

Effective: August 2, 2026 Policy version: 2026-08-02-v2 Minimum age: 21 In-vitro research only

Strict in-vitro laboratory-research limitation

Forge LX Labs products are not food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, medical devices, prescription products, compounded products, or products for administration to a human or animal. They are offered only for legitimate, lawful in-vitro laboratory research conducted outside any human or animal body by qualified and approved purchasers.

Scope and policy hierarchy

This Policy applies to every visitor, applicant, account holder, purchaser, recipient, employee, contractor, agent, laboratory, organization, and other person or entity that accesses, requests, receives, transfers, handles, or uses a Forge LX Labs product.

It applies to the website, access gate, customer-account application, approval process, product pages, labels, packaging, certificates, analytical documentation, communications, orders, invoices, and fulfillment records.

This Policy supplements the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, Returns and Refunds Policy, and product-specific documentation. The stricter restriction controls when two provisions differ.

Definitions

In-vitro research Laboratory research performed outside a living human or animal body, including analysis conducted in laboratory vessels, analytical instruments, assays, or other controlled research systems.

Approved account A customer account that Forge LX Labs has manually reviewed and authorized for purchasing access. Approval is conditional, revocable, and limited to the verified applicant and stated research.

Qualified personnel Personnel with education, training, experience, supervision, and authorization appropriate to the material, method, equipment, hazards, controls, records, and disposal procedures involved.

Prohibited administration Any ingestion, injection, implantation, inhalation, topical application, dosing, delivery, exposure, testing, or other introduction of a product into or onto a human or animal.

Applicant classifications

Purchasing access is not offered to ordinary consumers or personal users. An applicant must qualify under one of the following classifications and provide information sufficient for verification.

Institutional or registered entity

A laboratory, corporation, limited-liability company, university, educational institution, analytical facility, government entity, or other registered organization conducting legitimate research. Forge LX Labs may request the legal entity name, business or laboratory address, organizational website, applicant title, domain-based email, registration record, EIN confirmation, or comparable documentation.

Independent professional researcher

An individual acting in a legitimate professional research capacity with verifiable affiliation, lawful access to an appropriate laboratory, authorization to use that facility, relevant qualifications, a detailed research declaration, and supporting documentation when requested.

Forge LX Labs may determine that an applicant does not fit either classification or that the supplied information is insufficient. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval.

Eligibility, verification, and account approval

An approved research account is required before any product may be purchased. Forge LX Labs may withhold prices, purchasing functions, quantity access, or fulfillment until review is complete.

The applicant and all authorized account users must be at least 21 years old.
All application, organization, laboratory, billing, shipping, and contact information must be accurate, current, complete, and verifiable.
The applicant must identify a legitimate research organization, facility, affiliation, or professional setting.
The applicant must have lawful access to, and authorization to use, appropriate laboratory facilities, equipment, safety controls, secure storage, and waste-disposal resources.
The applicant must provide a sufficiently detailed lawful in-vitro research purpose.
The applicant must complete all required policy acknowledgments at registration and Checkout.
The applicant must provide supporting documents or explanations requested during review.
The applicant must promptly update Forge LX Labs when the organization, affiliation, address, ownership, authorized users, facility access, or research purpose changes.

Forge LX Labs may reverify an account at any time and may require periodic reverification, including annual reverification.

Authorized in-vitro laboratory use

Products may be acquired and used only for lawful in-vitro, non-clinical laboratory research conducted by qualified personnel in a controlled professional research environment.

Permitted environment A legitimate laboratory, university, analytical facility, educational facility, government facility, registered business, or other controlled professional research setting permitted by law.

Permitted purposes Analytical testing, biochemical analysis, in-vitro assays, assay development, method development, reference-standard work, instrument calibration, quality-control research, stability investigation, or other documented lawful in-vitro research.

Permitted preparation Preparation only as reasonably necessary for a documented in-vitro protocol using suitable laboratory vessels and controls, and never for administration to a human or animal.

Strictly prohibited uses

The following conduct is prohibited regardless of any statement, instruction, request, label, disclaimer, representation, or proposed use made by a purchaser or third party:

Preparation, reconstitution, and delivery-device restrictions

Reconstitution, dilution, mixing, transfer, or other preparation is permitted only when reasonably necessary for a documented in-vitro laboratory protocol and performed by qualified personnel using appropriate laboratory controls.

No product may be prepared, combined, measured, or transferred for human or animal administration.
No product may be placed into a syringe, pen, injector, implant, transdermal system, applicator, capsule, tablet, nasal device, oral-dosing device, or other delivery system intended for bodily use.
No product may be converted into a dosage form or labeled with dosing, administration, cycle, protocol, or treatment instructions.
No purchaser may request or rely on Forge LX Labs for reconstitution, dosage, syringe-unit, administration, storage-for-injection, or bodily-use instructions.

Transfer, resale, relabeling, manufacturing, and export restrictions

An approved account and order are specific to the verified purchaser, facility, and stated research purpose. Products may not be diverted to another person, organization, or use.

No consumer resale, retail resale, marketplace sale, drop shipping, or direct-to-consumer distribution.
No transfer, gifting, sharing, redistribution, or supply to an unauthorized individual or entity.
No repackaging, private labeling, relabeling, removal of warnings, concealment of lot information, or misrepresentation of product status.

Purchaser representations and continuing duties

By applying for an account, accessing restricted content, placing an order, receiving a shipment, or using a product, the purchaser represents, warrants, and agrees that:

All information and documents supplied to Forge LX Labs are accurate, current, complete, and not misleading.
The purchaser is acting solely for a legitimate lawful in-vitro research purpose and not for personal, clinical, therapeutic, veterinary, cosmetic, performance, or consumer use.
The purchaser is authorized to acquire, possess, receive, store, handle, use, transfer within the approved facility, and dispose of the material.
The purchaser will independently determine and comply with every law, regulation, permit, license, institutional rule, environmental rule, import or export requirement, and safety obligation that applies, including TSCA requirements when applicable.
The purchaser will not rely on Forge LX Labs for legal, medical, veterinary, dosing, administration, compounding, treatment, patient, or consumer guidance.
The purchaser will restrict account credentials and product access to approved and authorized personnel.
The purchaser will immediately stop use and notify Forge LX Labs when the stated research purpose, facility, authorization, or eligibility is no longer accurate.

These duties continue after approval, payment, shipment, delivery, use, account suspension, and account closure. Approval is not a license, certification, legal opinion, regulatory authorization, or assurance that a particular transaction or use is lawful.

Handling, storage, security, traceability, and disposal

The purchaser is solely responsible for evaluating hazards and establishing appropriate controls before receiving or handling a product.

Restrict access to authorized, trained, and supervised personnel.
Use appropriate engineering controls, containment, personal protective equipment, written procedures, spill controls, and emergency measures.
Store products securely under conditions appropriate to the material and available documentation.
Maintain lot identity, chain of custody, inventory records, access records, and traceability.
Prevent contamination, cross-contamination, loss, theft, diversion, unauthorized access, or accidental exposure.
Dispose of products, containers, contaminated materials, and waste according to applicable law and institutional procedures.

Product information, certificates, and analytical limitations

A certificate of analysis, chromatogram, mass-spectrometric result, assay result, specification, label, or other record reports only the particular sample, lot, method, attribute, limit, and result expressly identified in that document.

Such documentation does not establish clinical safety, therapeutic effectiveness, suitability for administration, sterility, freedom from endotoxin, freedom from particulate matter, pharmaceutical manufacturing compliance, or suitability for any use not expressly tested and reported for that specific lot.

Forge LX Labs will describe a product or lot as identity-tested, purity-tested, potency-tested, sterility-tested, endotoxin-tested, or otherwise tested only when that particular attribute was actually evaluated and documented for the applicable lot.

The purchaser must review the lot-specific documentation and independently determine whether the product is suitable for the purchaser’s lawful in-vitro research method and quality system.

Application review, order screening, refusal, and account action

Forge LX Labs may review and investigate applications, accounts, communications, orders, quantities, payment information, delivery information, and account activity for consistency with the verified research purpose and this Policy.

Review or action may be triggered by circumstances including:

Incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent, unverifiable, or misleading information.
Residential, freight-forwarding, mailbox, or other delivery information that does not reasonably match the stated research setting.
Unusually large, frequent, repeated, or patterned orders inconsistent with the approved research declaration.
Multiple accounts, names, addresses, devices, payment methods, or organizations suggesting circumvention or diversion.
Requests for syringes, administration devices, dosing supplies, bodily-use instructions, or consumer-oriented documentation.
Communications, social-media activity, or other information suggesting prohibited use, resale, transfer, or relabeling.
A legal, regulatory, payment-provider, carrier, insurance, banking, or company-policy concern.

Forge LX Labs may request additional documentation, restrict quantities, delay or refuse fulfillment, cancel or refund an order, disable purchasing, suspend or terminate an account, preserve records, or take other appropriate action. Forge LX Labs is not required to disclose confidential screening criteria or investigative methods.

Communications indicating prohibited use

Forge LX Labs does not provide human or animal dosing, administration, reconstitution-for-administration, syringe-unit, cycle, stack, protocol, treatment, expected-benefit, side-effect, or patient-specific guidance.

Requests or communications concerning the following may result in refusal, documentation, account suspension, or termination:

Human or veterinary dosage, injection, application, ingestion, or administration.
Weight loss, appetite suppression, fat loss, muscle gain, bodybuilding, athletic performance, injury recovery, pain, inflammation, anti-aging, hair growth, cosmetic effects, sexual performance, or other bodily outcomes.
Personal cycles, stacks, schedules, syringe units, bacteriostatic-water amounts, administration frequency, or bodily-use storage.
Medical conditions, diagnoses, treatment goals, side effects, contraindications, interactions, patient monitoring, or clinical outcomes.
Consumer resale, repackaging, relabeling, private labeling, drop shipping, or transfer to another user.

Customer-service personnel are not authorized to answer such questions or convert them into research wording. The purchaser must not attempt to disguise a prohibited purpose as laboratory research.

Electronic acknowledgments, records, and reverification

Forge LX Labs may record and retain information reasonably necessary to administer this Policy and document the transaction, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable retention requirements.

Applicant and customer identifiers.
Organization, affiliation, laboratory, address, role, and research-purpose information.
Approval, rejection, suspension, reverification, and termination status.
The exact acknowledgment text, policy version, date, time, order number, and account identifier.
Relevant technical, security, access, device, IP, communication, payment, and fulfillment records.
Documents or explanations submitted for verification.

Electronic acknowledgment documents the purchaser’s representations and agreement but does not replace any license, permit, institutional approval, legal review, or regulatory authorization that may be required.

Reporting suspected misuse, diversion, or unauthorized access

Account holders must promptly notify Forge LX Labs of suspected personal use, human or animal administration, diversion, theft, loss, unauthorized access, altered labels, fraudulent account information, prohibited resale, unlawful transfer, or other conduct inconsistent with this Policy.

Forge LX Labs may preserve records, suspend access, cancel orders, communicate with relevant providers, and take other lawful action when misuse, fraud, diversion, or unauthorized activity is suspected.

Policy changes and continuing acceptance

Forge LX Labs may revise this Policy to reflect changes in products, account procedures, screening, safety practices, business operations, law, regulation, or provider requirements. The effective date and policy version shown at the top identify the current version.

Continued use of restricted website functions or placement of an order after an updated Policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. Forge LX Labs may require a new acknowledgment or reverification before further purchasing access.

Questions about research eligibility?

Contact Forge LX Labs before applying or ordering when you are uncertain whether your organization, affiliation, facility, personnel, documentation, or proposed research qualifies under this Policy. Forge LX Labs does not provide legal, medical, veterinary, clinical, or regulatory advice.

A disclaimer, checkbox, account approval, certificate, label, or customer representation does not make an otherwise prohibited product, transaction, communication, claim, or use lawful.
