Terms of Service & Research-Use Policy

PepFAQ is an informational reference. All content — including protocol ranges, reconstitution examples, calculators, and storage guidance — summarizes published scientific literature and documented research-community practice. It is provided solely for educational and research reference purposes.

Nothing on the Site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing constitutes a recommendation, instruction, or encouragement to administer any compound to humans or animals. Use of the Site creates no doctor-patient or other professional relationship. The compounds documented on the Site are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or equivalent regulatory agencies for human use unless explicitly noted. Always consult a licensed physician before making any health decision.

The Site's content concerns materials sold and studied for laboratory research purposes. You represent that your use of the Site is for lawful informational and research purposes, that you are at least 21 years of age, and that you are solely responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, and rules applicable to you in your jurisdiction, including anti-doping rules if you participate in sport.

PepFAQ does not sell, distribute, source, or endorse any compound, product, or vendor. Content describing how the research community evaluates product quality (for example, third-party certificates of analysis) is educational documentation only.

PepFAQ is a community-driven, research-use-only information and tracking platform. Any coach, gym, trainer, clinic, or physician ("Coaches") who uses the Site does so as an independent third party. PepFAQ does not employ, vet, verify, credential, endorse, license, supervise, or control any Coach. Coach applications are reviewed only for basic platform-access purposes based on self-reported information; approval is not a certification, endorsement, or verification of any Coach's qualifications, licensure, or competence.

Any advice, protocol, recommendation, product suggestion, or service a Coach provides is solely that Coach's own, not PepFAQ's. The relationship between a Coach and a client exists solely between those parties. The Site provides read-only tracking visibility as a convenience only and does not monitor, review, or direct anything a Coach recommends or does.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PEPFAQ AND THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE ACTS, OMISSIONS, ADVICE, RECOMMENDATIONS, OR SERVICES OF ANY COACH, OR FROM ANY COACH-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP FORMED THROUGH THE SITE. If you are a Coach, you are solely responsible for your own conduct and for complying with all laws and professional, licensing, and record-keeping obligations that apply to you, and you agree to indemnify the Indemnified Parties accordingly.

You acknowledge that the scientific literature summarized on the Site is largely preclinical, that long-term safety data for the compounds discussed generally does not exist, and that any activity you undertake in connection with research compounds carries inherent risk. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISK. Any decision you make based on information found on the Site — whether on your own or on the suggestion of a Coach — is your own, made at your sole discretion and risk.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PepFAQ and its owners, operators, officers, employees, contractors, and agents (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Site or its content; (b) your own research activities or any use, handling, or administration of any compound; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Content may contain errors and may become outdated.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM IT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ALL EVENTS, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES' AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Your acceptance of these Terms through the Site's click-through Research-Use Agreement constitutes a valid electronic signature. The version accepted and a timestamp are recorded against your account. If the Terms are updated, you will be required to accept the new version before continuing to use gated content.

Accounts are personal and authenticated by email magic link. We may suspend or terminate access at our discretion, including for violation of these Terms. You may request deletion of your account at any time; see Section 12 for what deletion covers.

What we store. Your email address and Terms acceptance record, for authentication and compliance. The account details you provide — name, username, and age. Anything you choose to enter into the tracker: compounds, doses, schedules, and notes. Support messages you send us. And privacy-preserving page-view counts that record no cookie, account, or IP address.

Body measurements stay on your device by default. Height, weight and weight history, body composition, measurements, sex, and your stated goals are stored in your own browser and are not sent to us. We hold no copy of them, which also means they will not follow you to another device and will be lost if you clear your browser data.

Syncing is yours to switch on. If you want that information kept with your account — to reach a second device, or so a linked coach can see your progress — you can turn on syncing from your account page. Only then is it stored on our servers. Turning syncing off deletes our copy; it does not merely stop updating it. Nothing in this section is required to use the Site, and we use whatever you do enter solely to show your own trends back to you, never to profile you or to form any assessment about your health.

Coaches see only what you allow. If you link to a coach, gym, or physician, they receive read-only access to your tracked protocols, and to your body measurements only if you have turned syncing on. That access is controlled by a single sharing switch on your account page. Turn it off and they continue to see that you are linked to them, but none of your regimens or measurements. You may disconnect entirely at any time. Coaches are independent third parties as described in Section 5 — what they do with information you share with them is between you and them.

We do not sell your data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We use service providers to operate the Site — hosting, database, and email delivery — who process data only to provide those services.

PepFAQ is not a healthcare provider. This matters for how your information is treated. We are not a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA, and the information you enter here does not receive HIPAA protection. It is not a medical record, it is not reviewed by a clinician, and it should not be relied on as one. If you need your health information handled under those protections, share it with a licensed provider rather than here.

Your control. You can edit or delete your tracked protocols and body metrics from within the Site at any time. Requesting account deletion removes your account and the data associated with it, other than records we are required to retain — principally your Terms acceptance record, which we keep as evidence of the agreement between us.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version date at the top of this page identifies the current Terms. Continued use of the Site after being prompted to accept an updated version constitutes acceptance of the update.
