Age verification (18+, UK)
This page sets out the age-verification declaration that every buyer signs at checkout. It is reproduced here so that the full text remains accessible outside the cart flow. A copy of the declaration as signed is retained for six years against the corresponding order in the Lab's consent register.
1. Age
The Buyer confirms that they are 18 years of age or olderas of the date of the order. Sale to a person under 18 is refused as a matter of policy and as a matter of the Lab's commitment to responsible supply.
2. UK residency and delivery address
The Buyer confirms that they are resident in the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland), and that the billing and delivery addresses supplied are valid addresses within the United Kingdom. The Buyer further confirms that they are not placing the order on behalf of any minor or any person resident outside the United Kingdom.
3. Where age is verified
Age is verified once, at checkout — by this declaration and the electronic signature described in clause 6 below. Standard delivery is tracked, next working day, and parcels are left in a safe place if nobody is home. The courier does not check identification and does not refuse handover on age grounds; there is no age check at the door, and a parcel is not returned to the Lab for failing an age check on delivery.
This means the checkout declaration is the point at which the Buyer's age is confirmed, and the Buyer is relying on the truth of that declaration when placing the order (see clause 5, False declaration).
4. Not on behalf of a third-party minor
The Buyer confirms that the compounds will not knowingly be supplied or made available to any person under the age of 18. The Buyer is solely responsible for the safe storage of the compounds in their possession.
5. False declaration
A false declaration as to age or residency may constitute a fraudulent misrepresentation under UK law and may render the contract of sale voidable at the Lab's option. The Lab may cancel the order and return the price paid (less return-postage cost where applicable), and may decline to accept any further order from the same buyer.
6. Electronic signature
The Buyer's tick of the consent box on the cart page, together with the signature drawn on the canvas at checkout, constitute an electronic signature within the meaning of section 7 of the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and are intended to have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature on a paper declaration.
