Terms of Use
Terms of Use
Last updated: June, 22 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of mdpep.com and its content (the “Site”), operated by MD PEP (“mdpep.com,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Please read them carefully. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and that you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. We may update these Terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date will change, and your continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
2. What the Site Is – and What It Is Not
The Site is an educational and informational resource. It is a documented synthesis of what published research, regulatory records, and clinical literature report about peptides and related topics. It is published for general educational purposes only.
The Site is not, and does not act as, any of the following: a seller, retailer, distributor, importer, pharmacy, compounding pharmacy, drug manufacturer, prescriber, medical practice, clinic, or telehealth provider. We do not sell, dispense, compound, prescribe, fulfill, ship, or import any peptide, drug, supplement, or other product. The Site documents, compares, and explains; it does not transact in any product and is not a point of sale.
3. Not Medical Advice; No Professional Relationship
The content on the Site is not medical, clinical, pharmacological, legal, or other professional advice, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed professional who can evaluate your individual circumstances. Using the Site, contacting us, or reading our content does not create a doctor-patient, clinician-patient, pharmacist-patient, or any other professional relationship between you and mdpep.com or its authors.
Always seek the advice of a licensed healthcare provider with any questions about a medical condition or any substance. Never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read on the Site. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.
4. Nature of the Substances Discussed
The Site discusses substances that fall into different regulatory categories, including substances that are FDA-approved for specific indications, substances available only by prescription, substances available only through licensed compounding pharmacies, and substances that are sold by third parties strictly as “research use only” and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for human use or consumption.
You acknowledge and agree that:
- The Site does not recommend, endorse, or instruct any person to obtain, possess, administer, or use any substance, and does not endorse the human use of any substance that is not FDA-approved for that use.
- Nothing on the Site is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any product, or a recommendation that you use any substance.
- Regulatory and legal status changes frequently. Any statement of legal or regulatory status reflects our understanding as of the date shown on the relevant page and may be incomplete or out of date.
- You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all laws that apply to you, including whether obtaining, possessing, or using any substance is lawful in your jurisdiction. The Site does not direct, encourage, or facilitate the importation of any unapproved product.
5. Assumption of Risk
You use the Site and any information on it at your own risk. Any decision you make, or action you take or do not take, based on the Site is your own decision and your own responsibility. You assume all risks associated with any such decision or action.
6. Affiliate Relationships and Disclosures
The Site participates in affiliate programs. This means we may earn a referral fee if you click certain links and make a purchase from a third party, at no additional cost to you. Where this applies, we disclose it clearly and conspicuously adjacent to the relevant link, consistent with the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255).
An affiliate relationship or referral fee is never an endorsement of any product, vendor, or of the human use of any substance, and does not influence our editorial assessments. We do not accept payment for favorable coverage.
7. Third-Party Sites, Vendors, and Products
The Site contains links to third-party websites, vendors, laboratories, and resources, provided for your information and convenience. We do not control, operate, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third party, or for their content, products, certificates of analysis, testing, claims, pricing, shipping, privacy practices, or compliance with law. Any dealings you have with a third party are solely between you and that third party. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or harm arising from those dealings.
8. User-Generated Content
If the Site permits comments, reviews, questions, or other submissions (“User Content”), the following apply. You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the right to post it. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and moderate it in connection with the Site. We may, but are not obligated to, review, edit, or remove User Content at our discretion. We do not adopt, endorse, or guarantee any User Content, and we are not responsible for content provided by others. Do not post medical advice, instructions to use any substance, unlawful content, or anyone’s personal or confidential information.
9. Interactive Tools (If and When Offered)
The Site may, now or in the future, offer educational tools or calculators. Any such tool performs a general informational or arithmetic function only. It does not know your medical history and is not capable of giving medical advice, a recommendation, or a prescription; its output is illustrative only. Where such a tool is offered, your use of it is governed by a separate acknowledgment that you must affirmatively accept before use, and you assume all risk associated with any decision you make based on its output.
10. Telehealth and Provider Referrals (If and When Offered)
The Site is not a telehealth provider and does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or prescriptions. Where the Site refers you to, or partners with, licensed clinicians, telehealth services, pharmacies, or provider directories, those services are provided by independent, licensed third parties under their own separate terms. Any clinical or treatment relationship is solely between you and that licensed provider. We are not responsible for the care, advice, products, or services they provide.
11. Intellectual Property
Except for User Content and third-party material, the content on the Site is owned by MD PEP or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-commercial license to view the content. You may not copy, scrape, republish, sell, or create derivative works from the content without our prior written permission, except as permitted below.
Search and AI answer engines. We permit established search engines and AI answer engines to crawl, index, and quote the Site with attribution for the purpose of answering user queries and linking back to the Site. We reserve all other rights.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the content is accurate, complete, current, reliable, or error-free, or that the Site will be uninterrupted or secure. Any reliance you place on the content is at your own risk.
13. Limitation of Liability and Release
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MD PEP, its owners, authors, contributors, and affiliates WILL NOT BE LIABLE for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content, your reliance on any content, or your dealings with any third party or vendor – whether based in contract, tort, or any other theory, and even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Site will not exceed US $100.
Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release MD PEP and the persons above from any and all claims, demands, and damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any third party or vendor referenced on the Site.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, the limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MD PEP and its owners, authors, contributors, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your User Content, your violation of these Terms or any law, or any decision or action you take based on the Site.
15. Geographic Scope
The Site addresses the United States regulatory landscape and is intended for users in the United States. We make no representation that the content is appropriate or lawful for use outside the United States. If you access the Site from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.
16. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Dispute Resolution
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court and to participate in a class action.
Governing law. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Site, are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to contact us at [email protected] with a short description of your dispute and your contact information, and to give us at least 30 days to try to resolve it informally.
Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and MD PEP agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court, except as stated below. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will take place in San Diego County, California, or, at your election, by telephone, by videoconference, or based only on documents submitted. The arbitrator’s award is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court with jurisdiction.
Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and MD PEP agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding. You and MD PEP each waive any right to a jury trial.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may ask a court for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property or to stop unauthorized use of the Site.
Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing [email protected] with your name and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
Courts. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and MD PEP consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California.
Severability. If the class-action and representative-action waiver above is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will be severed and may proceed in court, while the rest of this section remains in effect.
17. Changes to the Site and These Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may also revise these Terms at any time by posting the updated version with a new “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
18. Privacy
Our handling of your information is described in our Privacy Policy.
19. Severability; Entire Agreement; No Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. These Terms, together with the documents they incorporate, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
20. Contact
Questions about these Terms can be sent to [email protected] or 2801 B St #3060, San Diego, CA 92102.
