You may purchase from BioLongevity Labs if all of the following are true:

Order Verification

Verification protects the integrity of the research supply chain and keeps materials out of channels they were never intended for.

BioLongevity Labs may verify the information supplied at checkout. Verification methods include IP address review, business or institutional confirmation, and direct requests for supporting information.

Orders may be held pending verification. Any order may be cancelled at the sole discretion of BioLongevity Labs, including after payment, when the information provided cannot be confirmed.

Account Termination and Reporting

Accounts are reviewed when a purchase pattern or a stated intent conflicts with this policy.

Providing false information, or purchasing with intent for a prohibited use, results in immediate termination of the customer account and forfeiture of any wholesale, affiliate, or loyalty standing.

Where conduct indicates a violation of federal law, BioLongevity Labs reserves the right to report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
