These Store Terms & Conditions of purepoint.pl (hereinafter: the “Terms”) set out the rules and conditions for the provision of services by electronic means and for the conclusion of distance sales contracts via the online store operated under the purepoint.pl domain (hereinafter: the “Store”) by FIRSTSTONE TRADING spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością with its registered office in Poznań (hereinafter: the “Operator”).
The Terms constitute terms and conditions for the provision of services by electronic means within the meaning of Art. 8 para. 1 point 1 of the Act of 18 July 2002 on the provision of services by electronic means (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2020 item 344, as amended).
The Store operated by the Operator is an online store intended exclusively for Qualified Buyers — that is, entities acquiring Products for a purpose connected with their business, professional, research or academic activity. The Store is not directed at consumers within the meaning of Art. 22(1) of the Act of 23 April 1964 — Polish Civil Code (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2024 item 1061, as amended, hereinafter: the “KC”).
The Products offered in the Store are Research Materials of in vitro purity grade and do not constitute medicinal products within the meaning of Art. 2 point 32 of the Act of 6 September 2001 — Pharmaceutical Law (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2025 item 750, hereinafter: the “PF”), nor dietary supplements, nor medical devices, nor cosmetics. The Products are not intended for consumption, for administration to humans or animals, or for any clinical, diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
Placing an Order in the Store requires the prior creation of an Account, successful completion of the Qualified Buyer status verification procedure and the submission of a Qualified Profile Declaration (KOP) together with acceptance of these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy.
The Terms are made available to Buyers free of charge at https://purepoint.pl/regulamin/ in a manner enabling them to be obtained, reproduced, recorded and printed at any time. The content of the Terms is also recorded and sent to the Buyer at the e-mail address provided during registration.
By accepting the Terms, the Buyer confirms that they have read their content, understand it and accept all provisions, including those concerning the legal nature of the Products, the restrictions on their use and liability for false declarations.
The Operator is a party to the relationship as a professional entrepreneur conducting specialised sales of raw materials for scientific research under in vitro laboratory conditions.
In matters not regulated by these Terms, the provisions of Polish law shall apply, in particular the KC, the Act of 30 May 2014 on Consumer Rights (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2024 item 1796, as amended, hereinafter: the “UPK”) — to the extent that the Buyer is a consumer or an Entrepreneur with consumer rights (PnPK), and other provisions of law indicated in these Terms.
The Operator reserves the right to amend the Terms on the principles set out in § 15.

§ 2. Definitions

Whenever capitalised terms are used in these Terms, they shall be understood as follows:

Store — the online store operated by the Operator at https://purepoint.pl/ together with all its subpages and functionalities, constituting a platform for the distance sale of Research Materials.
Buyer — an entity that has concluded or intends to conclude a Contract with the Operator via the Store and that meets the requirements set out in § 4 of the Terms; a Buyer may be a natural person conducting business or professional activity, a natural person holding the status of student or researcher of a university/institute, a legal person or an organisational unit without legal personality to which the law grants legal capacity — excluding consumers within the meaning of Art. 22(1) KC.
Qualified Buyer — a Buyer who has successfully completed the status verification procedure set out in § 4 of the Terms, in particular by presenting evidence of belonging to one of five categories (STUDENT, LAB, SCIENTIST, BIZ_RD, OTHER_PRO) and by submitting a Qualified Profile Declaration (KOP); only a Qualified Buyer is entitled to place Orders.
Consumer — a natural person performing a legal act with an entrepreneur not directly connected with their business or professional activity, within the meaning of Art. 22(1) KC; Consumers are excluded from the group of Buyers entitled to make purchases in the Store.
PnPK (Entrepreneur with consumer rights) — a natural person concluding a contract directly connected with their business activity where it follows from the content of that contract that it does not have a professional character for that person, resulting in particular from the subject matter of the business activity carried out, made available on the basis of the provisions on the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity; the PnPK status is governed by Art. 38a UPK and Art. 385(5), Art. 556(4), Art. 556(5) and Art. 576(5) KC. Given the nature of the Store and the requirement to verify a connection with the field of biomedicine, biotechnology or chemistry, the PnPK status should not apply to Qualified Buyers; should it be established that a Buyer holds PnPK status, the Operator shall apply the protective provisions arising from the law.

It is recommended that the Buyer use devices and networks under their exclusive control and that they apply firewall and antivirus protection. The Operator shall not be liable for the consequences of unauthorised access to the Buyer’s Account obtained as a result of the Buyer’s negligence (e.g. disclosing the password to a third party, leaving a device unattended with an open Store session).
The Operator reserves the right to carry out periodic technical breaks in the operation of the Store in order to perform maintenance, updates, security audits or the deployment of new functionalities. The Operator shall give notice of planned breaks at least 24 hours in advance by means of a notice in the Store or an e-mail sent to the address of Buyers holding an active Account.
The Store uses the analytics tool Plausible Insights OÜ with its registered office in Tallinn (Estonia), operating without cookies, without personal identifiers and without any transfer of data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). The Operator does not use the Google Analytics tool or other tools based on analytical cookies requiring consent. Details concerning data processing in the analytics tool are set out in the Privacy Policy.

§ 4. Requirements for the Qualified Buyer (KOP)

The Operator runs the Store exclusively for Qualified Buyers — that is, entities acquiring Products for a purpose connected with their business, professional, research or academic activity, within the meaning of Art. 43(1) KC. Purchase in the Store by consumers within the meaning of Art. 22(1) KC is excluded. The Operator reserves the right to refuse to fulfil an Order placed by an entity that does not meet the Qualified Buyer requirements, and to immediately remove such an Account and invalidate the Contract with legal effect for both parties.
In order to obtain Qualified Buyer status, the candidate must present documentation confirming their belonging to one of the five categories set out in para. 3, and then submit a Qualified Profile Declaration (KOP) in accordance with para. 4.
The Operator distinguishes five categories of Qualified Buyers:
1. STUDENT — a natural person holding active status as a student, doctoral candidate or participant in postgraduate studies in one of the following fields or disciplines: biomedical sciences, molecular biology, biotechnology, chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, cosmetology, dietetics, biomedical engineering, biophysics, microbiology, immunology, physiology, bioinformatics or another related field with a natural-sciences or medical profile. Proof of status: a valid student ID card (number, field of study, university) or a certificate from the dean’s office not older than 90 days.
2. LAB — a research, control or analytical laboratory — regardless of legal form (commercial company, civil-law partnership, sole proprietorship, research institute, university unit, foundation conducting research). Proof of status: NIP, full name of the laboratory, address, optionally PCA accreditation (Polish Centre for Accreditation) or equivalent in an EU Member State.
3. SCIENTIST — a scientist, researcher, research or research-and-technical employee of a university, a PAS institute, a research institute, a research unit of an enterprise, or an independent researcher conducting scientific activity. Proof of status: an ORCID identifier (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) together with institutional affiliation, or a current certificate of employment in a scientific unit.
4. BIZ_RD — an entrepreneur conducting research-and-development (R&D), control, formulation or service activity in related areas. Proof of status: NIP together with at least one of the following PKD codes entered in CEIDG or the KRS:
  - 72.11.Z — Research and experimental development in the field of biotechnology;
  - 72.19.Z — Research and experimental development in the field of other natural and technical sciences;
  - 72.20.Z — Research and experimental development in the field of social sciences and humanities (in the scope connected with public health);
  - 21.20.Z — Manufacture of pharmaceuticals and other pharmaceutical products;
  - 74.10.Z — Specialised design activities (in the scope connected with R&D).
5. OTHER_PRO — another professional entity not falling within the STUDENT, LAB, SCIENTIST, BIZ_RD categories, but able to demonstrate a legitimate professional, research, educational or control purpose (e.g. a veterinarian conducting research, an R&D cosmetologist, a court expert, an appraiser, the editorial team of a scientific journal). Proof of status: a declaration of the purpose of acquisition in the form of text at least 100 characters long, describing the purpose of the purchase, the intended use and the professional competences. OTHER_PRO applications are subject to individual examination by the Operator (manual review) within up to 7 Business Days.
Qualified Profile Declaration (KOP) — the Buyer, after selecting one of the five categories and presenting the appropriate proof of status, submits a package of five compliance declarations, each requiring separate ticking (checkbox):
1. “I declare that I acquire the Products exclusively for the purpose of scientific research conducted under laboratory conditions in vitro, and not for administration to humans, animals or for any clinical, diagnostic or therapeutic applications.”;
2. “I declare that I do not intend to use the Products for medicinal purposes, for cosmetic purposes intended for use on humans, or as ingredients of food or dietary supplements.”;
3. “I declare that I will not resell or otherwise make the Products available to consumers within the meaning of Art. 22(1) KC, or to entities not authorised to acquire research raw materials, and that I will not advertise the Products in a manner suggesting their medicinal properties.”;
4. “I accept the Acceptable Use Policy in force in the purepoint.pl Store and acknowledge that its breach results in the immediate termination of the Contract, and I bear full liability for the consequences of using the Products contrary to their intended purpose.”;
5. “I am aware that providing untrue data or making false declarations in this verification procedure may constitute an offence under Art. 233 § 6 in conjunction with § 1 of the Act of 6 June 1997 — Penal Code (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2024 item 17, as amended, hereinafter: the “KK”) punishable by imprisonment from 6 months to 8 years, and also results in liability for damages towards the Operator on the basis of Art. 471 KC.”
The Operator verifies the presented proof of status and the submitted declarations within up to 5 Business Days from the date of a complete application. A positive verification results in activation of Qualified Buyer status and the unlocking of the ability to place Orders. A negative verification results in a refusal to activate the status and a written (e-mail) justification within 5 Business Days. The Operator is under no obligation to disclose the details of its internal risk-assessment criteria.
The Operator may make the activation of Qualified Buyer status conditional on the presentation of additional documents or the provision of supplementary explanations, in particular in the case of the OTHER_PRO category. The Buyer’s failure to respond to the Operator’s request within 14 days results in the application being left without examination.
Consequences of a false declaration: Making untrue declarations or presenting falsified proof of status in the KOP verification procedure constitutes: a. a breach of contractual obligations resulting in the Buyer’s liability for damages towards the Operator on the basis of Art. 471 KC — the Buyer is obliged to remedy the damage arising from the non-performance or improper performance of the obligation, including in particular any administrative penalties imposed on the Operator by state authorities, the costs of control proceedings, the costs of legal services and lost profits; b. the risk of criminal liability under Art. 233 § 6 in conjunction with § 1 KK — whoever makes a false declaration intended to serve as evidence in proceedings conducted on the basis of a statute shall be subject to imprisonment from 6 months to 8 years; c. grounds for the immediate termination of the Contract and the blocking of the Buyer’s Account, as well as the entry of the Buyer’s data on an internal list of excluded entities.
Qualified Buyer status is subject to periodic verification by the Operator, in particular in the event of a change in the Buyer’s data, the expiry of the validity period of documents (e.g. expiry of a student ID card, change of KRS/CEIDG data) or the occurrence of circumstances giving rise to justified doubts as to continued fulfilment of the criteria (e.g. public declarations contrary to the KOP, external reports). The Operator has the right to suspend the fulfilment of Orders until a renewed positive verification.
The Operator applies geo-restrictions: it does not service Orders placed from territories subject to international sanctions or embargoes: Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea (DPRK), Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Myanmar (Burma). Buyers located within the territory of these states cannot become Qualified Buyers. In addition, the Operator applies sanctions-list screening (EU, OFAC, UN) against all Buyers at the KOP verification stage in accordance with EU Council regulations and the Act of 1 March 2018 on counteracting money laundering and the financing of terrorism (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2025 item 67, as amended).
Notwithstanding the fact that the Operator is not an obliged institution within the meaning of Art. 2 para. 1 of the Act on counteracting money laundering and the financing of terrorism, it applies proactive transaction-monitoring thresholds: a. EUR 5,000 — transaction log and Order identifier; b. EUR 15,000 — enhanced due diligence (EDD) — request for supplementary documents, verification of the source of funds; c. EUR 50,000 — STR (Suspicious Transaction Review) — independent assessment by management and, in case of suspicion, a report to the GIIF (General Inspector of Financial Information).

§ 5. Legal nature of the Products

The Products offered in the Store are Research Materials — synthetic peptides, proteins or other chemical substances intended exclusively for scientific research conducted under laboratory conditions in vitro by professional entities such as laboratories, scientific institutes, universities and enterprises’ R&D teams.
The Products are not medicinal products within the meaning of Art. 2 point 32 PF, which provides: > “Medicinal product — a substance or mixture of substances presented as having properties for the prevention or treatment of diseases occurring in humans or animals, or administered for the purpose of making a diagnosis or for the purpose of restoring, improving or modifying the physiological functions of the body through pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action.”

The Operator does not present the Products as having properties for the prevention or treatment of diseases, does not administer them for diagnosis, does not present them for the purpose of modifying the physiological functions of the body and does not place them on the market as medicinal products within the meaning of the PF. 3. The Products are also not: a. dietary supplements within the meaning of Art. 3 para. 3 point 39 of the Act of 25 August 2006 on food and nutrition safety (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2024 item 1252, as amended) or a foodstuff; b. medical devices within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices (MDR); c. cosmetic products within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products; d. biocidal products within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products. 4. The Products are placed on the market as chemical substances for research and development use within the meaning of Art. 3 point 22 REACH, in quantities not exceeding 1 tonne per year per entity. Accordingly, the Products are exempt from the obligation of registration with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 REACH and Art. 9 REACH (PPORD exemption for notified R&D activity). 5. The Products are classified and labelled in accordance with CLP, taking into account the available data from the literature and supplier analyses; in the absence of identified hazards, the Product is marked as “a substance for research under in vitro laboratory conditions, not for administration to humans or animals”. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are made available on request in accordance with Art. 31 REACH. 6. The Operator does not hold and is not required to hold an authorisation for the manufacture or placing on the market of medicinal products, nor an authorisation for the wholesale trade in medicinal products, nor an authorisation to run a pharmacy — because the Products are not medicinal products. 7. Erratum material to earlier documents: A correction of the previously published, incorrect citation of Art. 124 PF. The correct wording of the criminal penalty under the PF in relation to the illegal placing of medicinal products on the market (i.e. acts which the Operator and the Qualified Buyer undertake to avoid):

“Art. 124 para. 1 of the Act of 6 September 2001 — Pharmaceutical Law (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2025 item 750, previously Journal of Laws 2024 item 686, as amended): whoever, without the required authorisation, places a medicinal product on the market shall be subject to a fine, the penalty of restriction of liberty or imprisonment of up to 2 years.”

Earlier drafts (prior to version 2.0) incorrectly indicated a range of “6 months to 8 years of imprisonment and a fine of up to PLN 5 million”, which constituted an editorial error inconsistent with the current wording of the PF. The wording of para. 7 of this section supersedes any previous erroneous references to Art. 124 PF in the Store’s documents. 8. The Qualified Buyer acknowledges that independently placing a Product on the market as a medicinal product (e.g. resale to consumers with a declaration of medicinal properties) results in the exclusive liability of such an entity on the basis of Art. 124 PF and other related provisions (including Art. 132 PF — advertising of medicinal products without authorisation, Art. 286 KK — fraud, Art. 165 § 1 point 2 KK — causing a danger to life or health). 9. The Operator delivers with the Product technical documentation comprising: the LOT number, the COA with a purity analysis by HPLC and molecular mass by MS, reconstitution instructions (solely for the purpose of in vitro laboratory handling), storage conditions and the expiry date. The technical documentation does not contain and may not contain clinical dosing or recommendations regarding administration. 10. The Qualified Buyer bears sole liability for the compliance of the use of the Products with the applicable provisions in the jurisdiction in which they conduct research, including provisions concerning research ethics, animal protection, GMOs, biosafety, precursors and local restrictions on controlled substances.

§ 6. Contract conclusion procedure

The Contract is concluded between the Operator and the Qualified Buyer by way of distance sale in accordance with Art. 70(1)–70(5) KC and the relevant specific provisions. The procedure for concluding the Contract comprises eight checkout steps:
1. Step 1 — Registration and KOP. The Buyer creates an Account, provides the required data, presents proof of status in accordance with § 4 and submits the KOP. The Account is activated after a positive verification.
2. Step 2 — Product selection. The Buyer browses the Store’s offer, reviews the Product descriptions, COA, technical data and specification, and adds the selected Products to the cart.
3. Step 3 — Cart. The Buyer verifies the contents of the cart — the type of Products, quantities, the net and gross unit price, the total value of the Order and notes on restrictions (e.g. quantity limits per single order set for certain Products).
4. Step 4 — Delivery and invoicing data. The Buyer provides delivery data (address, contact telephone for the courier) and invoicing data (NIP, company name or individual data of the student/researcher, registered-office address). The system verifies whether the delivery address is within the geographically serviced zone in accordance with § 4 para. 9.
5. Step 5 — Delivery method. The Buyer selects an available delivery method: InPost Parcel Locker (basic, cheapest) or standard or priority courier, in accordance with the Shipping and Returns Policy. All Products are shipped at ambient temperature.
6. Step 6 — Payment method. The Buyer selects a payment method from those available in the Store: payment card (Visa, Mastercard) via Stripe Payments Europe Limited (Dublin, Ireland), bank transfer (SEPA / domestic transfer) to the Operator’s account, or other methods available at the given time in accordance with § 7.
7. Step 7 — Summary and renewed acceptance. The Buyer receives a full summary of the Order comprising: the Products, the total net amount, VAT (where applicable), the delivery cost, the total gross amount, the delivery and invoicing data, a declaration of consent to fulfilment of the Order, and a renewed acceptance of the Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy.
8. Step 8 — Placing the Order with an obligation to pay. The Buyer places the Order by activating a button containing the wording “Order and pay” or an equivalent unambiguously indicating an obligation to pay, in accordance with Art. 17 para. 3 UPK (applied accordingly despite the non-consumer nature of the transaction). After the Order is placed, the system automatically generates a confirmation and sends it to the Buyer’s e-mail address and to compliance@purepoint.pl.
Placing an Order constitutes an offer to conclude a Contract within the meaning of Art. 66 § 1 KC. The Operator accepts the offer by sending the Buyer a separate message confirming acceptance of the Order for fulfilment (“Order Acceptance Confirmation”), within up to 2 Business Days. The Contract is concluded upon delivery to the Buyer of the Order Acceptance Confirmation.
The Operator reserves the right to refuse to accept an Order, in particular where: a. the Buyer does not meet the Qualified Buyer requirements set out in § 4; b. the Order contains untrue, incorrect or incomplete data; c. the Order gives rise to justified suspicions as to its compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP); d. the value of the Order exceeds internal risk limits and the Buyer has not presented additional EDD documents; e. there is a suspicion of a breach of international sanctions; f. the Product is temporarily unavailable and the Buyer does not consent to delayed fulfilment; g. there is another objective obstacle to fulfilling the Order.
In the event of a refusal to accept an Order, the Operator notifies the Buyer at the e-mail address provided within 2 Business Days from the date of placing the Order and refunds any prepayment made (if one was made) to the account from which the funds originated within 5 Business Days.
The content of the concluded Contract is recorded and secured in the Operator’s IT system and sent to the Buyer at their e-mail address together with the Order Acceptance Confirmation. The Contract is concluded in the Polish language.
Each Buyer receives a VAT invoice documenting the sale. The invoice is issued in electronic form (e-invoice) and sent to the Buyer’s e-mail address, unless the Buyer expressly requests a paper form. Acceptance of the Terms includes consent to receiving electronic invoices within the meaning of Art. 106n para. 1 of the Act of 11 March 2004 on tax on goods and services (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2024 item 361, as amended).
Orders may be placed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject to § 3 para. 5 (technical breaks).

§ 7. Payments

The payment methods available in the Store include: a. payment by payment card (Visa, Mastercard, optionally American Express) via the payment operator Stripe Payments Europe Limited with its registered office in Dublin (1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 2, D02 H210, Ireland), registered with the Companies Registration Office under number 513174; b. direct bank transfer (SEPA Credit Transfer / domestic transfer) — to the Operator’s bank account indicated on the pro forma invoice; c. other methods available temporarily, in particular BLIK, Apple Pay, Google Pay — to the extent supported by Stripe.
In the case of payment by card or other digital Stripe methods — the transaction is authorised instantly, and the funds are reserved on the Operator’s Stripe account. After a positive authorisation, the Order is directed to fulfilment in accordance with § 9.
In the case of payment by transfer (SEPA / domestic transfer) — the Operator sends the pro forma invoice immediately after the Order is placed. The deadline for payment of the pro forma invoice is 5 Business Days. Failure to pay within the deadline results in the automatic cancellation of the Order. Fulfilment of the Order begins only after the full amount has been credited to the Operator’s account.
The Operator does not store the Buyer’s payment card data. The full handling of payment data takes place on the Stripe side, which, as a payment operator, holds PCI DSS Level 1 certification. The Operator receives from Stripe only a tokenised confirmation of the transaction and the payment status (success / failed / refunded).
Stripe may request additional 3D Secure authorisation (SCA — Strong Customer Authentication) in accordance with the PSD2 directive (Directive (EU) 2015/2366 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on payment services in the internal market). The Buyer’s failure to complete SCA authorisation results in the rejection of the payment.
The settlement currency of the Store is the Polish zloty (PLN). The Operator also permits the presentation of prices and settlement in euro (EUR) for orders from euro-area states. Conversion rates are set by Stripe at the time of transaction authorisation. The Operator does not charge any additional currency commissions.
The Operator issues a VAT invoice with VAT charged in accordance with the applicable provisions: a. for Polish Buyers — VAT 23% (basic rate); b. for Buyers from other EU states holding an active EU VAT number (VAT-UE) — reverse charge, the invoice being issued without VAT, with the annotation “reverse charge / odwrotne obciążenie”; c. for Buyers from outside the EU — export of goods, a 0% VAT rate with documentation of the export in accordance with Art. 41 para. 4 of the VAT Act.
In the event of a refund of funds (e.g. withdrawal from an Order, cancellation, a complaint resolved in the Buyer’s favour), the Operator makes the refund by the same method by which the payment was made, unless the Buyer has consented to another method of refund (e.g. a change of card, a change of bank). Refund deadline — up to 14 days from the decision to refund. Stripe processes refunds to cards usually within 5–10 business days from the initiation of the refund by the Operator.
The Operator does not charge fees for the use of a particular payment method, in accordance with Art. 105a para. 4 of the Act of 19 August 2011 on payment services (consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2024 item 30, as amended) and Art. 62 of the PSD2 directive — the Operator does not impose so-called surcharges on Buyers for consumer cards.

§ 8. Prices and price transparency

The prices of the Products presented in the Store are gross prices, expressed in Polish zloty (PLN), including the VAT due in accordance with the applicable provisions. For Buyers from other EU states and from outside the EU, prices may be presented in EUR with the appropriate currency designation.
The prices presented in the Store are binding from the moment they are displayed on the Product card and in the cart, and after an Order is placed they become final until settlement of the Contract.
The Operator applies full price transparency in accordance with Directive (EU) 2019/2161 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 amending Council Directive 93/13/EEC and Directives 98/6/EC, 2005/29/EC and 2011/83/EU as regards the better enforcement and modernisation of Union consumer protection rules (hereinafter: the “Omnibus Directive”), implemented into Polish law by the Act of 1 December 2022 amending the Consumer Rights Act and certain other acts (Journal of Laws 2022 item 2581).
In particular: a. Lowest price within 30 days — in the event of a reduction in the price of a Product, the Operator informs, alongside the current price, of the lowest price of that Product applicable during the 30 days before the reduction was introduced (Art. 4 para. 2 of the Act on informing about the prices of goods and services as worded following the Omnibus Directive); b. for Products offered for less than 30 days — information on the lowest price applicable from the day the Product was introduced into the offer; c. the obligation applies both to a direct reduction (a discount on the price) and to an indirect one (coupons, vouchers, discount codes applied automatically).
The Operator does not apply practices prohibited by the Omnibus Directive, in particular: a. it does not present artificially inflated reference prices; b. it does not mislead as to the previous price of a Product; c. it does not omit information about the 30-day lowest price in promotional communications; d. it does not conceal additional costs — all costs (delivery, insurance) are openly presented in the cart before the Order is placed.
The price of the Product does not include delivery costs. Delivery costs are calculated at the cart stage and presented to the Buyer before the Order is placed. The Operator applies fixed delivery rates depending on the geographical zone, the dimensions and the weight of the parcel. All Products are shipped at ambient temperature — with no surcharges for refrigeration or isothermal packaging.
In the case of bulk Orders (above a defined value or quantity threshold), the Operator may offer wholesale discounts. The terms of discounts are agreed individually and communicated to the Buyer in written form (e-mail) before the Order is placed.
The Operator reserves the right to make periodic adjustments to the prices of the Products resulting from external factors (exchange rates, raw-material prices, production costs, logistics costs, changes in VAT rates). Price changes do not affect Orders already placed and confirmed by the Operator.
In the event of an error in the price displayed in the Store (e.g. a technical error, an obvious mistake — a Product price significantly deviating from market prices), the Operator has the right to refuse to fulfil the Order at the erroneous price in accordance with Art. 84 § 1 KC (material error). In such a case, the Operator immediately notifies the Buyer of the error and offers: a. fulfilment of the Order at the correct price (subject to the Buyer’s additional acceptance); b. cancellation of the Order with a full refund of any prepayment.

§ 9. Order fulfilment and shipping

The Order fulfilment time is counted from the day on which the payment is credited (transfer) or the authorisation is confirmed (card) and amounts as standard to up to 3 Business Days for assembly, packaging and dispatch of the parcel.
After dispatch of the parcel, the delivery time depends on the chosen method and region: a. Poland — InPost Parcel Locker (basic, cheapest): 1–2 Business Days; b. Poland — standard / priority courier: 1–2 Business Days; c. EU states — international courier: 2–5 Business Days; d. states outside the EU (where serviced) — international courier: 5–10 Business Days, taking into account customs clearance time.
Ambient-temperature shipping. The recommended storage of the Product in lyophilisate form (powder, before reconstitution) is 2–8°C; the lyophilisate is, however, resistant to short-term transport at ambient temperature and does not require a cold chain in transport. Shipping is carried out as standard, at ambient temperature. The packaging procedure comprises: a. assembly and packaging at the Operator’s warehouse; b. sturdy protective packaging (cardboard box + bubble wrap or filler paper) protecting the glass vials against mechanical damage; c. an inner plastic bag protecting against moisture and light. The Operator does not use cooling inserts, dry ice or isothermal packaging — these are not required, because the lyophilisate is resistant to short-term transport at ambient temperature.
Buyer’s obligations after delivery: a. After receiving the parcel, the Buyer checks the integrity of the packaging and the condition of the Products; if mechanical damage is found, the Buyer documents the condition (photograph, description) and immediately reports it to the courier and to the Operator at compliance@purepoint.pl; b. the Buyer stores the lyophilisate at a temperature of 2–8°C, away from light and moisture; after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, the Buyer stores the Product in a refrigerator (2–8°C) and uses it within a short period, in accordance with the recommendation on the product card.
The Operator shall not be liable for a deterioration in the quality of the Products as a result of: a. improper storage of the Products after receipt (in particular the lack of refrigeration at 2–8°C after reconstitution); b. the occurrence of force majeure (vis maior) affecting the supply chain (strikes, natural disasters, administrative decisions, embargo).
The Operator documents shipping in the form of an internal register: dispatch date, courier, consignment note number, time of delivery. The documentation is kept for a period of 5 years for the purposes of any complaints and control proceedings.
In the event of significant delays in the fulfilment of an Order (more than 7 Business Days beyond the standard deadline), the Operator informs the Buyer of the cause and the anticipated new deadline. The Buyer then has the right to withdraw from the Contract with a full refund of the value of the Order.
Detailed rules concerning deliveries, including the full list of couriers, rates, geographical zones and transit time — are set out in the Shipping and Returns Policy available at https://purepoint.pl/polityka-wysylki-i-zwrotow/.

§ 10. Complaints

The Operator is liable to the Buyer for the non-conformity of the Product with the Contract on the principles set out in these Terms, the Complaints Policy and, in the B2B scope, the provisions of the KC concerning statutory warranty for defects — subject to § 13 para. 3 (contractual exclusion of the B2B statutory warranty).
The complaints procedure, the time limits for submission, the time limits for consideration, the methods and costs of return, and the rights of the Buyer are set out in detail in the Complaints Policy available at https://purepoint.pl/polityka-reklamacji/. The Complaints Policy is treated as an integral part of the contractual relationship, accepted together with acceptance of these Terms.
Complaints should be submitted to the e-mail address compliance@purepoint.pl or in writing to the Operator’s correspondence address: FIRSTSTONE TRADING sp. z o.o., ul. Wierzbięcice 44A/40A, 61-568 Poznań.
A complaint notification should contain at least: the Buyer’s data, the Order number, the designation of the Product (name, LOT), a description of the non-conformity, the date it was found, photographic documentation (if possible) and the Buyer’s request (replacement, price reduction, refund).
The Operator examines complaints within up to 14 days from the date of a complete notification. In the case of Buyers protected by the provisions of the UPK (PnPK), failure to examine within 14 days is tantamount to the complaint being deemed justified in accordance with Art. 7a UPK.
Complaints concerning the quality of Products requiring laboratory analysis (e.g. verification of HPLC purity, molecular mass) may require a longer time limit — the Operator informs the Buyer of the estimated time of the analyses in its response to the notification.

§ 11. Right of withdrawal from the contract

Primary argument (Qualified Buyer ≠ consumer). The Store is directed exclusively at Qualified Buyers who, within the meaning of Art. 22(1) KC, are not consumers. Consequently, the provisions of Art. 27–39 UPK concerning the right of withdrawal from a distance contract do not apply to Contracts concluded in the Store. The Qualified Buyer does not have, on the basis of the statute, a right to withdraw from the Contract within 14 days without giving a reason.
Fallback argument (Art. 38 UPK). Even if — contrary to the KOP verification procedure and the provisions of § 4 — a Contract were concluded with an entity holding consumer status within the meaning of Art. 22(1) KC or PnPK (Entrepreneur with consumer rights), the right of withdrawal would be excluded on the basis of Art. 38 UPK, which in relation to the Store’s Products applies on three independent grounds: a. Art. 38 point 3 UPK — in relation to a contract in which the subject of the performance is a non-prefabricated item, manufactured according to the consumer’s specification or serving to satisfy their individualised needs. The Store’s peptides are synthesised or packaged in response to the demand of a specific Buyer in a defined LOT and quantity, which qualifies them as an item manufactured according to the Buyer’s specification; b. Art. 38 point 4 UPK — in relation to a contract in which the subject of the performance is an item liable to deteriorate rapidly or having a short shelf life. Peptides are biologically active substances; the lyophilisate has a short shelf life after reconstitution (counted in days), and breaching the primary packaging irreversibly affects the usability of the Product, which qualifies it as an item “liable to deteriorate rapidly”; c. Art. 38 point 5 UPK — in relation to a contract in which the subject of the performance is an item delivered in sealed packaging which, after opening the packaging, cannot be returned for reasons of health protection or hygiene, if the packaging was opened after delivery. The primary packaging of the peptides (a lyophilised vial with a blister seal and a sealing label, in vacuum bags) constitutes sealed packaging within the meaning of this provision.
Notwithstanding the above statutory exclusions, the Operator may in exceptional cases accept a voluntary return of a Product (e.g. as a gesture of good will towards a long-standing institutional client), provided that the Product has not been opened, the seal is intact, the Product was stored in accordance with the instructions (lyophilisate at a temperature of 2–8°C, away from light and moisture), and the Buyer agrees the terms of the return with the Operator before sending the Product back. The voluntary-return procedure is described in the Shipping and Returns Policy.
For the avoidance of doubt: this section does not limit the rights of Buyers protected by the UPK in relation to contracts other than the contract for the sale of a Product (e.g. rights connected with the contract for the provision of services rendered by electronic means in respect of running the Account — § 12), to which the general rules of the UPK and the Privacy Policy apply.

§ 12. User account

The creation of an Account in the Store requires: (i) providing true and complete data, (ii) successful completion of Qualified Buyer status verification (§ 4), (iii) acceptance of the Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy, (iv) confirmation of the e-mail address.
The Account enables: viewing the history of Orders, downloading invoices and COAs, managing delivery addresses, updating KOP data, reviewing communications with the Operator, and managing marketing consents.
The Buyer is obliged to: a. keep the Account data up to date and complete; b. promptly update the data in the event of a change (change of KRS/CEIDG data, expiry of the student ID card, change of ORCID, change of registered-office address); c. maintain the confidentiality of the Account password; d. promptly report to the Operator any suspicion of unauthorised access to the Account.
The provision of the Account service is free of charge and for an indefinite period. The Buyer may delete the Account at any time by submitting an appropriate request to compliance@purepoint.pl. Deletion of the Account does not affect the validity of Contracts concluded to date or the Operator’s obligations regarding the retention of accounting and fiscal documentation.
The Operator may suspend or delete the Buyer’s Account in the event of: a. a finding that the KOP data is untrue or the declarations are false; b. a gross breach of the Acceptable Use Policy; c. payment arrears exceeding 30 days; d. the occurrence of circumstances giving rise to justified suspicions of a breach of international sanctions; e. inactivity of the Account for a period longer than 24 months — by way of a warning with 30 days’ notice to the e-mail address provided.
After deletion of the Account, the Buyer’s data is processed only to the extent required by the provisions of law (retention of accounting documentation, defence against claims, sanctions reporting) and for the periods set out in the Privacy Policy.

§ 13. Liability of the parties

Operator’s liability. The Operator is liable for the non-performance or improper performance of the Contract on the general principles of the KC, taking into account the specific provisions of the Terms and the reservations below.
Standard of due diligence. The Operator performs its obligations in accordance with the standards of a diligent entrepreneur conducting specialised sales of research raw materials, applying quality-control procedures (supplier HPLC analysis, COA verification), warehouse and logistics safeguards and internal compliance procedures.
Exclusion of statutory warranty in B2B dealings (Art. 558 § 1 KC). Between the Operator and Buyers being entrepreneurs not holding PnPK status, the parties exclude the statutory warranty for physical and legal defects of the Product in accordance with Art. 558 § 1 KC, which provides: “The parties may extend, limit or exclude liability under the statutory warranty. If the buyer is a consumer, the limitation or exclusion of liability under the statutory warranty is permissible only in the cases specified in specific provisions.” The exclusion does not apply to Buyers being consumers or PnPK — in that scope the mandatory statutory minimum arising from the UPK and the KC applies.
B2B liability cap. The Operator’s total liability towards a Buyer being an entrepreneur not holding PnPK status, on any basis (contract, tort, unjust enrichment), in relation to a single Contract, is limited to the value of the given Order increased by the cost of delivery actually paid by the Buyer — excluding damage caused by the Operator’s wilful fault or gross negligence and damage the limitation of liability for which is impermissible on the basis of mandatory provisions.
Exclusion of liability for indirect damage in B2B. Towards the Buyers referred to in para. 4, the Operator’s liability is excluded for lost profits (lucrum cessans), indirect damage, consequential damage, damage connected with the interruption of research activity, the inability to achieve a scientific result and other non-direct damage — within the limits permitted by law.
Liability towards Buyers protected by the UPK. In relation to Buyers holding consumer or PnPK status, the Operator does not exclude or limit liability to the extent that such exclusion or limitation would be contrary to mandatory provisions of the UPK or the KC; in the remaining scope, para. 3–5 apply accordingly.
Buyer’s liability. The Buyer bears full liability for: a. the truthfulness of the data provided in the KOP; b. the use of the Products in accordance with their in vitro nature and the prohibition on clinical use; c. compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy; d. maintaining the recommended storage conditions after delivery of the parcel (lyophilisate at a temperature of 2–8°C, away from light and moisture; after reconstitution — refrigeration at 2–8°C and short-term use); e. the compliance of the further use, transfer or resale of the Products with the applicable provisions of law (PF, REACH, CLP, legislation on precursors, research ethics provisions); f. the reimbursement of all costs incurred by the Operator in connection with a breach of the Terms or the AUP, including administrative penalties, the costs of proceedings and legal services, on the basis of Art. 471 KC.
Force majeure. Neither party shall be liable for the non-performance or improper performance of obligations caused by force majeure (vis maior), including: natural disasters, pandemics, administrative decisions of the state, embargoes, logistics strikes, failures of telecommunications networks, cyberattacks, decisions of payment operators beyond the parties’ control.

§ 14. Protection of personal data (GDPR)

The controller of the personal data of Buyers processed in connection with the operation of the Store is FIRSTSTONE TRADING sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Poznań (83-307), ul. Wierzbięcice 44A/40A, NIP 7831958614.
Contact in matters of data protection: compliance@purepoint.pl. Written correspondence: ul. Wierzbięcice 44A/40A, 61-568 Poznań.
Data Protection Officer (DPO). Following an analysis of the obligations arising from Art. 37 para. 1 let. a–c GDPR, the controller has determined that there is no obligation to appoint a Data Protection Officer — in particular: a. the controller is not a public authority or body (Art. 37 para. 1 let. a); b. the controller’s core activities do not consist of processing operations which, by virtue of their nature, scope or purposes, require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale (Art. 37 para. 1 let. b); c. the controller’s core activities do not consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of personal data or data relating to criminal convictions (Art. 37 para. 1 let. c).

Consequently, the controller has not appointed a DPO. All enquiries are addressed directly to the controller at compliance@purepoint.pl. 4. Purposes and legal bases of processing. The Operator processes Buyers’ personal data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases: a. conclusion and performance of the Contract, including fulfilment of the Order, running the Account, service contact — Art. 6 para. 1 let. b GDPR; b. issuing and retaining invoices, keeping accounting books — Art. 6 para. 1 let. c GDPR in conjunction with the Accounting Act and the VAT Act; c. verification of Qualified Buyer status (KOP), including the processing of copies of status documents, sanctions screening and AML monitoring — Art. 6 para. 1 let. c and let. f GDPR (the controller’s legitimate interest in the area of compliance); d. handling of complaints and dispute proceedings — Art. 6 para. 1 let. b and let. f GDPR; e. pursuit of and defence against claims — Art. 6 para. 1 let. f GDPR; f. marketing of the controller’s own products (newsletter) — Art. 6 para. 1 let. a GDPR (consent) and Art. 10 of the Act on the provision of services by electronic means. 5. Recipients of the data. The data may be disclosed to: payment operators (Stripe Payments Europe Limited, Dublin), courier companies, hosting providers (cyber_Folks S.A.), accounting service providers, e-mail and newsletter service providers (Sendinblue SAS / Brevo, Paris), the analytics tool provider (Plausible Insights OÜ, Tallinn) — subject to the reservation that Plausible does not process identifying data and does not use cookies. 6. Transfer outside the EEA. The Operator prefers to process data within the EEA. Plausible Insights OÜ (Tallinn, Estonia) — EEA. Sendinblue SAS / Brevo (Paris, France) — EEA. Stripe Payments Europe Limited (Dublin, Ireland) — EEA; certain components of Stripe’s handling may involve a transfer to Stripe, Inc. (USA) on the basis of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of 4 June 2021 (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914) and additional safeguards in accordance with the EDPB guidelines covering the CJEU judgment in case C-311/18 (Schrems II). 7. Retention periods. The data is retained for periods arising from the provisions of law and the purpose of processing: a. order and invoice data — 5 years from the end of the calendar year in which the tax obligation arose (Art. 70 § 1 of the Tax Ordinance); b. KOP data and compliance logs — 5 years from the last Order, for the purposes of any control proceedings; c. data of an inactive Account — up to 24 months from the last activity, then deletion following a warning; d. marketing data — until consent is withdrawn. 8. Rights of data subjects. The Buyer has the right: of access (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectification (Art. 16), to erasure (Art. 17), to restriction of processing (Art. 18), to data portability (Art. 20), to object (Art. 21), to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7 para. 3) and to lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa). 9. Detailed information concerning the processing of personal data — including the specific categories of data, the bases, periods, recipients, transfers and rights — is described in the Privacy Policy available at https://purepoint.pl/polityka-prywatnosci/. 10. Cookies banner. The Store uses a cookies banner in symmetric mode, with three equivalent options: “Accept”, “Reject”, “Customise”. Symmetric mode is applied in accordance with decision of the President of the UODO No. DKN.5131.42.2024 of February 2025 imposing a penalty of EUR 420,000 for asymmetric banners (“Accept all” prominent, “Reject” hidden). The Store’s banner meets the standards of Art. 7 GDPR (freely given, informed, unambiguous consent) and Art. 173 of the Telecommunications Law.

§ 15. Final provisions

Amendments to the Terms. The Operator has the right to amend the Terms in the event of: a. a change in the provisions of law affecting the content of the Terms; b. the introduction of new functionalities of the Store; c. a change in the Operator’s data (address, KRS); d. a change of providers of key services (payments, hosting, couriers); e. an improvement of compliance procedures; f. court rulings or decisions of authorities (UODO, UOKiK) affecting the scope of the Operator’s obligations.
Manner of amendment. The Operator informs Buyers holding an active Account of each amendment, with 30 days’ notice, by means of: a. an e-mail message sent to the address provided at registration; b. a notice displayed after the Buyer logs in to the Account; c. publication of the updated Terms at https://purepoint.pl/regulamin/.

The Buyer may, within 30 days of receiving the notice, terminate the contract for running the Account if they do not accept the amendments. Placing a new Order after the new Terms come into force is tantamount to their acceptance. Amendments to the Terms do not affect the conditions of sales Contracts already concluded. 3. Applicable law (Rome I). The law applicable to Contracts concluded in the Store is Polish law, in accordance with Art. 3 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I). In relation to contracts with consumers (should — contrary to the procedure of § 4 — such a situation arise), the choice of law may not be made in a manner that deprives the consumer of the protection afforded by the law of the country of their habitual residence, in accordance with Art. 6 Rome I. 4. Jurisdiction (Brussels I bis). Any disputes arising from or in connection with the Contracts are examined by the Polish court with local jurisdiction for the Operator’s registered office — the District Court / Regional Court in Gdańsk, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (Brussels I bis). In relation to contracts with consumers within the meaning of Art. 17 Brussels I bis, the provisions on protective jurisdiction (Art. 17–19) apply accordingly, with respect for the consumer’s right to bring an action against the entrepreneur also before the court of the consumer’s place of domicile. 5. ADR/ODR — out-of-court dispute resolution (applies to consumers). To the extent that the Buyer were to hold consumer status, they are entitled to use out-of-court methods of resolving consumer disputes: a. applying to the permanent consumer arbitration court at the voivodeship inspector of the Trade Inspection (the Act of 23 September 2016 on out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes, Journal of Laws 2016 item 1823, as amended); b. applying to the voivodeship inspector of the Trade Inspection with a request for mediation; c. using the European Commission’s ODR platform available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr — contact point: contact@purepoint.pl; d. using the assistance of the district (municipal) consumer ombudsman or a social organisation whose statutory tasks include consumer protection (the Consumer Federation, the Association of Polish Consumers).

The Operator informs that, as a seller intended exclusively to service Qualified Buyers (B2B), it does not as a rule participate in ADR proceedings for consumers; the information in this paragraph is provided for information purposes and for full compliance with Art. 14 of Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 (the ODR Regulation). 6. Language of the contract. The language of the Contract and the language of communication with the Buyer is Polish. The Operator may provide service in English at the request of a foreign Buyer — however, the binding language remains Polish in the event of doubts of interpretation. 7. Severability of provisions. If any provision of the Terms proves to be invalid or ineffective, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms. The parties undertake to replace the invalid provision with a valid provision whose content most closely approximates the parties’ original intention. 8. Assignment. The Buyer may not, without the Operator’s written consent, transfer the rights and obligations arising from the Contract to a third party. The Operator may transfer the rights and obligations to an affiliated entity or a legal successor, while maintaining the protection of Buyers and in accordance with the GDPR. 9. Preservation of evidence. All communication by electronic means between the Operator and the Buyer (e-mail, notices in the Account) is recorded and retained in the Operator’s systems and may serve as evidence of the conclusion, amendment or termination of the Contract, regardless of the physical form of the document. 10. Related documents. The integral parts of the contractual relationship, accepted together with acceptance of the Terms, are: a. the Privacy Policy (https://purepoint.pl/polityka-prywatnosci/); b. the Acceptable Use Policy (https://purepoint.pl/polityka-dopuszczalnego-uzycia/); c. the Complaints Policy (https://purepoint.pl/polityka-reklamacji/); d. the Shipping and Returns Policy (https://purepoint.pl/polityka-wysylki-i-zwrotow/); e. the Cookies Policy (https://purepoint.pl/polityka-cookies/).

In the event of a discrepancy between the Terms and the detailed policies, the Terms shall prevail, unless the provisions of the detailed policy are more favourable to the Buyer.
