Age and ID check
You can only order if you are 18 or older. For every parcel, we ask the carrier to check your ID.
This English version is provided for convenience. In case of any difference, the Dutch version prevails.
You can only order from PulseChem if you are 18 or older. We ask about this at three points: on your first visit, at checkout and on delivery.
On your first visit
The website first asks whether you are 18 or older and whether you are a researcher or are buying for research. If you answer no to either question, you do not get access.
At checkout
With every order you tick a box to confirm that you are 18 or older. You cannot order without it. We record your declaration with the order.
On delivery
For every parcel, we ask the carrier to check the recipient’s ID and to hand the parcel over only to someone aged 18 or older. Please keep a valid ID document ready, such as a passport or national identity card. This also applies if someone else accepts the parcel for you.
If the recipient cannot show valid ID, or turns out to be under 18, we ask the carrier not to hand over the parcel. It may then be returned to us. In that case, please contact us.
Why we do this
Our products are research chemicals for in vitro laboratory research, not intended as consumer products. They do not belong in the hands of minors. An age limit when ordering and a check at the door are part of selling responsibly. Under Romanian law, the law of the country where we are established, a person also comes of age at 18, and full legal capacity begins on coming of age (Article 38 of the Codul civil, the Romanian Civil Code).
Your data
We do not ask you for a copy of your ID. The check on delivery is carried out by the carrier. How we handle your data is explained in our privacy policy.
What else you declare with an order is set out in our Liability and research use policy.
