This attestation may be recorded and stored with your order records for audit, compliance, legal, and business purposes.

If you do not agree to this attestation, do not place an order.

5. No medical advice

Nothing on the CaliLean website is medical advice, health advice, treatment advice, dosing guidance, administration guidance, or a recommendation for human or animal use.

Product descriptions, research notes, references, labels, customer support responses, and other website content are provided for research and documentation purposes only. They must not be interpreted as instructions, approval, encouragement, or guidance for any prohibited use.

6. No FDA approval for human or animal use

CaliLean products have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for human or animal use.

No statement on this website should be understood to mean that any product is safe, effective, approved, or suitable for human or animal use.

7. No resale or redistribution

You may not resell, redistribute, transfer, relabel, repackage, compound, dispense, or supply CaliLean products to unauthorized third parties without written permission from CaliLean.

You may not provide CaliLean products to any person or organization if you know, suspect, or reasonably should suspect that the products may be used for any prohibited purpose.

8. Prohibited communications

Do not submit order notes, support messages, reviews, return requests, chargebacks, or other communications that request or suggest human use, animal use, dosing, administration, personal use, therapeutic use, cosmetic use, weight-loss use, anti-aging use, bodybuilding use, athletic-performance use, or any other prohibited use.

CaliLean will not provide instructions, recommendations, or guidance for prohibited use.

9. Compliance review

CaliLean may review orders, accounts, support messages, return requests, chargebacks, and other communications for compliance with this policy.

If CaliLean believes that an order, account, communication, or activity may involve prohibited use, misuse, resale, redistribution, fraud, non-compliance, or violation of our policies, CaliLean may take action where permitted by law, including:

  • Canceling an order.
  • Refusing shipment.
  • Restricting or closing an account.
  • Refusing future service.
  • Denying return, refund, replacement, or store-credit eligibility.
  • Documenting the incident.
  • Taking any other action available under our Terms of Service or applicable law.

10. Storage and handling

You are responsible for proper storage, handling, documentation, and disposal of all products after delivery.

CaliLean is not responsible for misuse, improper storage, improper handling, contamination, relabeling, repackaging, unauthorized transfer, or any use outside lawful research purposes after delivery.

11. Agreement to related policies

This Research Use Only Policy works together with our Terms of Service, Returns and Refunds Policy, Shipping Policy, Privacy Policy, Indemnity Waiver, and any checkout attestation or product-specific notice shown on the website.

If there is a conflict between this policy and another CaliLean policy, the stricter research-use-only restriction will apply where permitted by law.

We may update this Research Use Only Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the website after an updated policy is posted means you accept the revised policy.
