PACKAGING
All Auspep peptides are sold by gross weight (unless quoted otherwise), ie. the weight stated on the vial includes the associated counter-ions and water. For example, if the percentage of peptide is 90% in a 25mg sample, the true peptide weight is 25mg x 90% = 22.5mg.

If requested, peptides can be packaged according to net peptide weight. The weight stated on the vial will then be exclusive of associated counter ions and water. For example, if the peptide content determined by Amino Acid Analysis is 80% in a 1mg sample, the gross weight in the vial is 1.25mg.

Do not confuse peptide content with purity. While the purity of a peptide may be 100%, the peptide content will be determined by both the number of counter-ions associated with charged groups (ie. Arg, Lys) and the hydrophobicity of the peptide. This phenomenon is an intrinsic property of synthetic peptides.

CONDITIONS OF SALE
The customer accepts that these conditions shall apply to all legal relations between itself and Auspep Pty. Ltd. (Auspep) to the exclusion of any other terms including any conditions, warranties or representations written or oral, express or implied, even if contained in the Customer's documents which purport to provide that the Customer's own terms shall prevail. No variation of these conditions shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Auspep to the Customer.

1. PRICES
Prices quoted are recommended prices only and may be subject to change without notice and variation for foreign currency fluctuation. Prices are subject to variation by Auspep without notice with immediate effect upon variation. Unless otherwise specified, prices are net FOB appropriate to the mode of transport.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS
Auspep reserves the right to accept or reject any order for goods. Auspep shall be under no obligation to provide the goods ordered if Auspep has bona fide doubts as to the solvency of the Customer.

6. FORCE MAJEURE
If Auspep is prevented or delayed from or in performing any of its obligations under the Contract by force majeure, including but not limited to strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action, whether or not caused by or involving employees of Auspep, then Auspep may give notice in writing to the Customer of the circumstances constituting force majeure and of the obligation, performance of which is thereby delayed or prevented and shall thereupon be excused from compliance with such obligation for as long as force majeure continues.
