Welcome to the ForteVita website, owned and operated by ForteVita ("ForteVita," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website ("Site") and any products purchased through it. By using this Site or purchasing any products, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the Site or any associated services.

1. Research Use Only – Regulatory Emphasis

All products sold by ForteVita are intended exclusively for qualified institutional laboratory research. These compounds are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any therapeutic or diagnostic use. Our products are sold strictly for laboratory research purposes or other controlled investigational settings.

Under no circumstances shall ForteVita products be used for human or veterinary consumption, administration, or application. This includes, but is not limited to, ingestion, injection, inhalation, topical application, or incorporation into food, cosmetics, supplements, or drugs. Any representation by a customer or third party that implies a product is suitable for human use constitutes a direct violation of these Terms.

ForteVita reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order and block further purchases if we have reason to believe that a customer is misrepresenting their intended use, attempting to procure products for human application, or is not a qualified research facility. We may, and reserve the right to, conduct internal reviews, including assessment of order patterns, shipping details, and public information about the purchaser’s entity, to determine whether misuse or regulatory violations may occur. ForteVita may also report such activity to relevant authorities.

2. Eligibility and Restrictions

You must be at least 21 years old to purchase from ForteVita. By placing an order, you affirm that you are legally eligible and authorized to receive, possess, and handle restricted research materials in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. You further represent that you are purchasing on behalf of a licensed institution, laboratory, university, or registered business engaged in lawful scientific research.

Purchasers must be familiar with appropriate handling procedures and possess the necessary certifications or institutional oversight to safely store, study, and dispose of ForteVita products. You agree that any unauthorized use or deviation from approved research applications will be considered a breach of these Terms.

4. Domestic U.S. Sales Only

ForteVita only ships to addresses within the United States. International orders are not accepted. You confirm by placing an order that the shipping address is a valid U.S. location associated with a qualified research organization. Any attempt to circumvent these restrictions may result in order cancellation.

5. Payment and Verification

We accept major credit and debit cards, ACH transfers, Zelle, and cryptocurrency. Orders are not finalized until payment has been successfully processed and verified. All transactions must be made in U.S. dollars.

We reserve the right to verify your identity, payment credentials, institutional affiliation, and intended use before accepting or fulfilling an order. If there is any reason to suspect fraud, noncompliance, or misuse, we may delay until confirmed or cancel the transaction.

6. Shipping and Risk of Loss

Orders are generally shipped within one business day after verification. Once the package is accepted by the carrier, risk of loss transfers to the purchaser. Delivery delays or damage caused by the carrier are not the responsibility of ForteVita, but we will assist in resolving such issues where possible.

Customers are responsible for ensuring all shipping information is complete and accurate. ForteVita is not liable for packages lost or misdelivered due to incorrect information provided at checkout.

Refunds will be issued to the original payment method following inspection. Shipping fees are non-refundable unless the return results from our error. In cases involving defective or incorrect shipments, contact us within five business days of receipt to request a resolution.
