Terms of Sale
Effective: June 30, 2026
These Terms of Sale ("Terms") govern every order placed with Ontario Bio Sciences ("Ontario Bio Sciences," "we," "us," or "our") through https://ontariobiosciences.com (the "Site"). By submitting an order you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Research Use Only
All products sold through the Site are supplied for research use only (RUO). They are not intended for, and must not be used for, human or animal consumption, diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic purposes, or any use other than authorized laboratory or scientific research. See also our separate Research Use Only Notice.
2. Buyer Qualification and Age Warranty
By placing an order you warrant and represent that:
- You are at least 18 years of age;
- You are a qualified researcher, scientist, or other professional with the training and facilities necessary to handle research-grade compounds safely and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations;
- You are purchasing solely for legitimate research purposes; and
- Your purchase and use of the products complies with all federal, provincial, state, and local laws applicable in your jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order where we have reasonable grounds to doubt that these conditions are met.
3. No Resale for Human Consumption
You agree that you will not repackage, relabel, or resell any product purchased from us in a manner that represents or implies suitability for human or animal consumption, or for any medicinal, dietary, or therapeutic use. Any such resale or representation is a material breach of these Terms and may expose you to independent legal liability.
4. Formation of Contract — Offer and Acceptance
Your submission of an order through the Site constitutes an offer to purchase. No contract of sale is formed until we accept your order, which occurs upon shipment of the products. We reserve the right to decline any order at our sole discretion, in which case any wire payment received will be refunded in full.
5. Pricing and Currency
All prices displayed on the Site are in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change without prior notice. The price applicable to your order is the price displayed at the time you submit your order.
6. Payment by Wire Transfer — Reference Number Requirement
Payment is due by manual bank wire transfer in CAD. Wire instructions will be provided at checkout or by email upon order receipt. You must include your unique order reference number in the wire transfer memo/reference field. Payments received without a matching reference number may experience processing delays. Title and risk of loss pass to you only after payment is confirmed and the order is shipped.
7. Taxes and Duties
You are solely responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by your jurisdiction in connection with the delivery of your order. We do not collect or remit such charges on your behalf.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- Ontario Bio Sciences and Ontario Bio Sciences shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your purchase or use of any product, even if advised of the possibility of such damages;
- Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to a specific order shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for that order; and
- Products are sold without any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or results. All products are provided "as is" for research purposes only.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ontario Bio Sciences, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your breach of these Terms, your misuse of any product, or your violation of any applicable law.
10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of Canada, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or any order shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Canada. You consent to personal jurisdiction in that forum.
11. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
12. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping and Returns Policy, and Research Use Only Notice, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ontario Bio Sciences with respect to your purchase and supersede all prior representations, warranties, or understandings.
