Disclosure

Peptide Compass is intended for adults. By using the site, you confirm you're at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority where you live). Peptide Compass is not directed at, and does not knowingly collect information from, minors.

Peptide Compass is a crowdsourced directory of peptide vendor listings and reviews, submitted by members of the public. It is not a medical resource — see the Medical Disclaimer below.

Creating an account is optional. If you do create one, you agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials secure, and use one account per person. Peptide Compass may suspend or ban an account that violates these terms, submits abusive or fraudulent content, or is used to manipulate reviews.

You agree not to:

• Submit reviews that aren't based on a genuine personal experience
• Use a review to advertise your own discount code, referral link, or business — see the Review Policy
• Use bots, scripts, or other automated means to submit content or bypass the site's anti-bot checks
• Impersonate any person or vendor, or misrepresent your affiliation with one
• Upload content that is illegal, harassing, defamatory, or infringes someone else's rights

By using this site, ordering from any listed vendor, or acting on any information found here, you acknowledge and agree that you do so entirely at your own risk. Peptide Compass, its owner, and operators are not responsible or liable for any harm, loss, injury, legal consequence, or other outcome resulting from the purchase, possession, or use of any product mentioned or listed on this site.

Laws governing peptides and research chemicals vary by country, state, and locality, and change over time. It is your sole responsibility to understand and comply with the laws that apply to you before purchasing, possessing, or using any product referenced on this site.

Peptide Compass is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any vendor, product, or piece of content is accurate, safe, or legal.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Peptide Compass, its owner, and operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, reliance on its content, or any transaction with a listed vendor.

You agree to indemnify and hold Peptide Compass, its owner, and operators harmless from any claim, loss, or damage — including reasonable legal fees — arising from your content, your use of the site, or your violation of these terms.

Peptide Compass may suspend or terminate your access at any time, for any reason, including violations of these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use of Peptide Compass after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

• Account information (optional): username, email address, and a securely hashed password, if you create an account.
• Content you submit: review text, ratings, an optional display name, optional order date, and optional photos; vendor listing details if you submit a vendor.
• Technical data: the IP address a review was submitted from. This is stored for anti-abuse and moderation purposes (for example, enforcing IP bans on spam or self-promotional submissions) and is only visible to site administrators, never displayed publicly.
• Cookies: first-party, functional cookies only — used to keep you signed in. See "Cookies" below.

We use this information to operate the site: displaying your reviews and listings, keeping you signed in, moderating content (including automatic flagging of possible self-promotion and blocking submissions from banned IP addresses), running anti-bot checks, and tracking founding-member badge eligibility for accounts.

Peptide Compass uses two first-party cookies — one for user sessions and one for admin sessions — both cryptographically signed and used solely to keep you logged in. Peptide Compass does not currently use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.

We don't sell your personal information or share it with third parties, except where required by law. Keep in mind that content you choose to submit (reviews, display name, photos) is, by design, published publicly on the site.

You can delete any of your own reviews at any time from your account page. To request deletion of your account and associated personal data, email pepsource1@gmail.com.

Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Session cookies are cryptographically signed to prevent tampering. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Peptide Compass is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

This policy may be updated from time to time. Continued use of Peptide Compass after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Peptide Compass participates in the Amazon Associates affiliate program. The supply links on the Learn page point to an Amazon storefront curated by Peptide Compass, and Peptide Compass earns a commission on qualifying purchases made through those links, at no additional cost to you.

Some vendor pages display a discount code. These codes are a monetization arrangement between Peptide Compass and the vendor — when a code is used, it may generate revenue or a commission for the owner of this site.

Neither the Amazon affiliate program nor vendor discount codes have any effect whatsoever on a vendor's rating, ranking, or placement in the directory. Reviews and ratings are driven entirely by user submissions and the price, quality, and trustworthiness scores those users assign — they cannot be purchased, boosted, or influenced by advertising or any form of payment. A vendor with a discount code can rank below a vendor without one, and vice versa.

Anyone can submit a review — an account is optional. Every review requires a rating on price, quality, and trustworthiness, a checkbox confirming the review is based on a genuine experience, and passing a short anti-bot check.

Reviews publish immediately and are not verified by Peptide Compass staff, medical professionals, or independent lab testers before appearing on the site. Peptide Compass does not test, inspect, or guarantee the identity, purity, potency, safety, or legality of any product sold by any listed vendor, and does not verify that reviews reflect genuine experiences.

Reviews that mention terms commonly associated with self-promotion (for example, "code," "coupon," "promo," "discount," "referral," or "affiliate") are automatically flagged for moderator review. Any user can also report a review using the "Report" link on that review. Flagged reviews are reviewed by an administrator, who may dismiss the flag or remove the review. Submissions from IP addresses associated with spam, abuse, or self-promotion may be banned from submitting further reviews.

A small number of early reviews were sourced from Trustpilot to help seed the directory at launch. These are marked with a "TP-" prefix in front of the reviewer's name.

Each review's overall rating is a weighted average of its three subratings: quality counts for 50%, trustworthiness for 30%, and price for 20%. Quality and trustworthiness matter most to a genuine buying decision, but price still moves the score. A vendor's overall rating shown across the site is the average of its reviews' overall ratings.

The default "Recommended" sort in the vendor directory additionally blends a vendor's average rating with the site-wide average, weighted by how many reviews back it up — so a vendor with one perfect review doesn't outrank one with dozens of strong reviews.

You retain ownership of any review, listing, or photo you submit to Peptide Compass.

By submitting content, you grant Peptide Compass a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute that content on the site for as long as it remains posted. You will not be paid for content you submit.

You're solely responsible for what you post. Content must be truthful and based on a genuine experience, and must not infringe anyone else's intellectual property or other rights, or be defamatory, harassing, or otherwise unlawful.

Peptide Compass may remove or edit content that violates these terms, applicable law, or at its discretion — see the Review Policy for how review moderation specifically works.

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice with your contact information, identification of the removed content, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed by mistake. Peptide Compass may restore the content after a reasonable waiting period unless the original complainant notifies us that they've filed a legal action.

Accounts found to repeatedly infringe others' copyrights may be suspended or terminated.

If you run a vendor listed on Peptide Compass and want to correct its details (logo, description, ordering link, discount code, etc.), email pepsource1@gmail.com from an address or channel associated with the vendor, describe the correction needed, and include reasonable proof of your affiliation with the vendor. Peptide Compass will review the request and update the listing if it checks out.

If you believe a specific review about your vendor is fake or fraudulent, use the "Report" link on that review, or email us with details. We'll investigate, but genuine reviews are not removed simply because a vendor disagrees with them — that would defeat the purpose of an independent review system.

Newly submitted vendors, and corrections to existing ones, go through the same moderation queue as any other vendor submission before going live.
