COAs reflect the analytical findings associated with the identified samples or production lots. Results should not be assumed to apply to unrelated batches.

Customers should review the documentation associated with their specific products and verify suitability for their intended laboratory methods.

Product descriptions and analytical documentation are provided for research-related informational purposes and do not constitute medical advice or authorization for clinical use.

Customers must not purchase, market, redistribute, relabel, or otherwise supply RUO-designated materials for prohibited human, veterinary, clinical, or consumer applications.

Customers must not make unauthorized medical, therapeutic, or performance-related claims about Zenith research materials.

Zenith may suspend accounts, reject orders, or discontinue commercial relationships when credible information indicates misuse, misrepresentation, or noncompliance.

8. Order Review and Verification

Zenith may review orders and request additional information before processing or fulfillment.

Orders may be delayed, declined, or canceled if required verification is incomplete or if concerns arise regarding eligibility, intended use, product restrictions, or legal compliance.

Any refunds associated with canceled orders will be handled in accordance with applicable law and Zenith’s Refund Policy.

Zenith reserves the right to restrict sales or shipping destinations where required by law, product-specific restrictions, or applicable business policies.

11. Policy Enforcement and Updates

Zenith may review suspected violations of this Policy and take appropriate action, including restricting account access, canceling orders, or refusing future transactions.
