1. Purpose of This Policy

This Research Use Only (RUO) policy establishes the standards and requirements for purchasing and using Modus Club products. All materials sold are designated as Research Use Only and are not intended for any other purpose.

Our RUO designation reflects both our commitment to supporting scientific advancement and our obligation to prevent misuse of potent research compounds that could pose risks if handled improperly or used outside controlled settings.

Modus Club sells exclusively to individuals and entities engaged in legitimate scientific research. Eligible purchasers include:

• Accredited academic and research institutions
• Licensed pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
• Government research laboratories
• Contract research organizations (CROs)
• Independent researchers with verifiable institutional affiliations

We reserve the right to request verification of research credentials, institutional affiliation, or intended use before processing any order. Orders may be declined if purchaser qualification cannot be established to our satisfaction.

3. Proper Handling and Storage

Research peptides require specific handling protocols to maintain stability and ensure safety. Purchasers must:

• Store lyophilized peptides at recommended temperatures (-20°C or below for long-term storage)
• Reconstitute products only with appropriate sterile solvents in a controlled environment
