Mellia Labs does not provide medical advice or instructions for human use.
Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a medical recommendation or as evidence that any product is suitable for use in humans or animals.
A research-use designation does not itself make a product lawful to purchase, hold or supply. All sales remain subject to applicable UK law and any restrictions relating to the particular product.
3. Customer eligibility
Customers must be at least 18 years old to place an order through this website.
By placing an order, the customer confirms that they are legally permitted to purchase and receive the relevant product in their jurisdiction and that the intended use is lawful research.
4. Product information
Product descriptions are provided for research and identification purposes.
While Mellia Labs takes reasonable care to ensure that product information is accurate, specifications, packaging, availability and other product details may occasionally change.
Customers should review the product description and available supporting documentation before ordering.
5. Product documentation
Where applicable, certificates of analysis, batch information or other technical documentation may be provided for relevant products.
Documentation relates to the particular batch or product identified and should be reviewed by the customer before use in research.
6. Orders
Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase. Mellia Labs reserves the right to accept or decline an order.
An order may be cancelled or declined where:
- payment cannot be verified;
- stock is unavailable;
- the delivery destination presents a legal or regulatory issue;
- the intended use appears inconsistent with the stated research-only purpose;
- information supplied by the customer is incomplete or inaccurate; or
- Mellia Labs reasonably believes that fulfilling the order could breach applicable law or regulatory requirements.
7. Pricing & payment
All prices displayed on the website are shown in GBP unless otherwise stated.
Payment must be successfully completed before an order is dispatched.
Mellia Labs reserves the right to correct pricing or product information errors. If an obvious pricing error occurs, Mellia Labs may cancel the affected order and refund any payment made.
Payments are processed securely by a third-party payment provider. Mellia Labs does not unnecessarily store customers' full payment card details.
8. Shipping
UK orders are dispatched using Royal Mail Tracked 24 — Next Working Day. Next working day is a Royal Mail delivery aim and is not guaranteed.
Delivery estimates are estimates only and are not guarantees unless expressly stated otherwise.
Customers must provide accurate delivery information.
Mellia Labs is not responsible for carrier delays or events outside its reasonable control.
9. Returns, cancellations & refunds
Mellia Labs does not offer voluntary returns simply because a customer changes their mind, except where applicable law provides a cancellation right.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits or excludes statutory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Where Mellia Labs supplies the wrong product, a product is damaged or defective, or a refund or replacement is legally required, Mellia Labs will provide the applicable remedy.
10. Prohibited use
Customers must not use, supply, resell, administer or represent Mellia Labs research materials as being intended for human or veterinary use.
