Peptigenix Labs – Disclaimer & Terms of Use
You should ideally have this as a dedicated page linked in your footer, checkout, product pages, and possibly a checkbox at checkout saying:
“I confirm I have read and agree to the Disclaimer & Terms of Use.”
This wording below is designed to:
- Position products as research/laboratory compounds
- Reduce claims that products are marketed as medicines
- Limit liability
- Reinforce customer responsibility
- Cover age restrictions, storage, handling, dosing discussions, and third-party information
- Protect against misuse and unrealistic claims
- Help create separation from “human-grade pharmaceutical” positioning
You should still eventually have a South African attorney review it if the business scales significantly.

Additional Recommendations For You
You should also add:
- A checkbox at checkout
- “Research Use Only” footer text
- Age restriction popup (18+)
- Separate Shipping Policy page
- Separate Refund/Returns page
- Separate Privacy Policy + POPIA compliance page
- Separate Terms & Conditions page
- Avoid explicit medical claims on product pages
- Avoid “before & after” transformation claims
- Avoid words like:
- “cure”
- “heal”
- “guaranteed fat loss”
- “anti-aging treatment”
- “prescription alternative”
- “safe for humans”
Better wording:
- “commonly researched”
- “investigated in studies”
- “research interest”
- “research applications”
- “educational purposes only”
Also:
- Keep labels professional and minimal
- Keep “for research purposes only” visible
- Avoid dosage instructions directly on labels
- Avoid making the site look like a pharmacy or clinic
- Avoid references implying SAHPRA approval unless actually registered
A cleaner, more “research-company” appearance generally reduces unnecessary attention compared to aggressive medical marketing.
