Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website chicagopeptidesupply.com (the "Site") and any products, information, or services offered by Chicago Peptide Supply ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing the Site, creating an account, adding items to a cart, or contacting a sales representative regarding any product, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site or purchase any products.
