Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using pepteligence.com (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site. “Pepteligence” refers to the operator of this platform (entity name to be confirmed following LLC formation).

2. Eligibility

The Site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. By accessing the Site, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use the Site. We reserve the right to terminate access for any user we reasonably believe to be under 18.

3. Nature of the Service

Pepteligence is an educational and informational reference platform. We publish research summaries, mechanism descriptions, community experience reports, and related educational content about peptides and related compounds.

Pepteligence is not a medical provider, pharmacy, or distributor. Nothing on the Site constitutes medical advice, a prescription, a clinical recommendation, or an endorsement of any substance for human use. We do not sell, supply, or facilitate the procurement of any substance. Use of the Site does not create a professional relationship of any kind between you and Pepteligence.

4. User Submissions

This section applies when the experience submission feature is active. It is included now to establish the applicable terms in advance of launch.

When you submit an experience report or any other user-generated content (“Submission”) to the Site, you:

By submitting, you grant Pepteligence a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to display, moderate, and distribute your Submission on the Site and in aggregate research summaries. You retain ownership of your Submission. This licence does not transfer ownership to Pepteligence.

Moderation is publish-or-reject only. We do not materially edit Submission content. Editing content would undermine the authenticity of the community dataset and could affect protections under 47 U.S.C. § 230. You may request removal of your Submission at any time by emailing contact@pepteligence.com.

User Submissions are third-party content published under 47 U.S.C. § 230. Pepteligence is not the author of user-submitted content, does not adopt it as its own, and is not liable for it. We reserve the right to remove any Submission at our discretion.

5. User Conduct

When using the Site, you agree not to:

6. Intellectual Property

Pepteligence content

Original content on the Site — including editorial text, mechanism descriptions, diagrams, and site design — is owned by Pepteligence. You may not reproduce, redistribute, republish, or create derivative works from Pepteligence’s original content without prior written permission.

User submissions

You retain ownership of content you submit. By submitting, you grant the licence described in Section 4 above.

Third-party research and citations

References, citations, and summaries of peer-reviewed research are used for educational and commentary purposes under fair use principles. We do not claim ownership of third-party research. Links to external research are provided for reference only.

7. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. PEPTELIGENCE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

You assume all risk associated with any action you take or refrain from taking based on content on the Site. This includes, without limitation, any decision related to your health, the use of any substance, or compliance with any law.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PEPTELIGENCE AND ITS OPERATORS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE OR ITS CONTENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL PEPTELIGENCE’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO PEPTELIGENCE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. To the extent such laws apply, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pepteligence and its operators, directors, employees, and contributors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, your Submissions, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law.

10. Dispute Resolution

Binding arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The arbitration shall be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS, as agreed upon by the parties. Arbitration venue and governing law shall be determined by the state of Pepteligence’s LLC formation (Delaware or Wyoming — placeholder: to be confirmed at entity formation and legal review).

Class action waiver

YOU AND PEPTELIGENCE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both parties agree otherwise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [governing state — placeholder: to be determined at LLC formation], without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time and for any reason, including violation of these Terms, without prior notice or liability. Upon termination, all licences granted to you under these Terms will immediately terminate. Sections 6 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Disclaimers), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 9 (Indemnification), and 10 (Dispute Resolution) survive termination.

14. General Provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pepteligence with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior agreements or understandings.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Pepteligence.
