Effective Date: 5/1/2026
1. Purpose and Scope
Short Chain Labs is committed to maintaining a professional, legally compliant, and research‑focused environment across all platforms where our brand and products are discussed. These Community Guidelines (“Guidelines”) apply to all user‑generated content and interactions involving Short Chain Labs, including:
- Product reviews on www.ShortChainLabs.com
- Comments and messages on our social media accounts
- Emails and support inquiries
- References to our products on third‑party forums, groups, and content platforms where we are tagged, named, or otherwise associated
By posting or engaging in any of these spaces, you agree to follow these Guidelines in addition to our Terms and Conditions.
2. Research‑Only Environment
All Short Chain Labs products are strictly for laboratory research purposes (RUO). Any discussion, suggestion, or content implying human or animal use is prohibited, including but not limited to:
- Injection or self‑administration reports (“I injected this…”, “I used X mg per kg…”)
- Dosing discussions or protocols for people or pets
- Descriptions of physical or mental effects, “cycles,” “stacks,” or performance enhancement
- Claims of medical benefit, symptom relief, or disease treatment
Content that promotes, normalizes, or glamorizes non‑research use violates these Guidelines and may be removed, reported, or result in account restrictions.
3. No Medical, Dosage, or Administration Advice
Short Chain Labs does not provide, endorse, or permit:
- Medical advice of any kind
- Human or animal dosing or titration guidance
- Reconstitution, preparation, or injection instructions for consumption
- “Stacking,” cycling, or protocol recommendations for personal use
Users may not:
- Ask others how to use products on themselves or others.
- Provide specific “how to take,” “how much,” or “how often” instructions.
- Frame personal experimentation as a template others should follow.
The appropriate and compliant response to such inquiries is to direct users back to the core principle:
“These products are for Research Use Only. No usage guidance for human or animal use is permitted.”
4. No Claims of Human or Animal Consumption
To protect both users and the company, the following are not allowed in any content associated with Short Chain Labs:
- Statements indicating that a product was ingested, injected, inhaled, applied topically, or otherwise used on a person or animal.
- Before‑and‑after photos suggesting aesthetic, performance, or health changes from using our products.
- Testimonials or anecdotes describing perceived health, fitness, cognitive, or cosmetic benefits from using our products.
Such content will be removed where we have control, and may be reported or disavowed where we do not.
5. No Off‑Label Marketing, Influencer Claims, or Affiliation Misrepresentation
Short Chain Labs does not engage in, endorse, or authorize:
- Influencer or content creator campaigns that promote human or animal use of our products.
- Any representation that Short Chain Labs sponsors, approves, or is affiliated with individuals or entities suggesting non‑research use.
Users and third‑party creators must not:
- Claim or imply that Short Chain Labs has approved their personal protocols, cycles, or regimens.
- Use our name, logo, or product images to market non‑research uses.
- Suggest that Short Chain Labs provides medical, coaching, or therapy services.
Short Chain Labs reserves the right to publicly clarify that any such content is unauthorized and inaccurate and to request removal or correction.
6. Professional Conduct and Respectful Communication
All community interactions linked to Short Chain Labs must remain professional and respectful. Prohibited behavior includes:
- Harassment, threats, or personal attacks
- Hate speech, discriminatory language, or slurs
- Obscene, vulgar, or sexually explicit content
- Spamming, self‑promotion unrelated to research use, or misleading links
We may remove or decline to engage with content that is abusive, off‑topic, or inconsistent with a professional research environment.
7. Accuracy, Transparency, and No Misrepresentation
Users are expected to:
- Accurately describe their role (e.g., researcher, student, lab staff) and not misrepresent themselves as physicians, regulators, or company employees.
- Avoid making unsupported claims about product identity, purity, or performance that could mislead others.
- Clearly distinguish personal opinions or hypotheses from established scientific findings.
Short Chain Labs may correct misleading statements, request clarifications, or remove content that misrepresents our products, business model, or regulatory status.
8. Legal Purpose and Regulatory Alignment
All Short Chain Labs products are non‑clinical, non‑therapeutic, RUO materials. Any content suggesting:
- FDA approval or clearance
- Legality for human use, prescribing, or compounding
- Status as dietary supplements, cosmetic ingredients, or drugs
is false and prohibited.
Statements implying that Short Chain Labs products may be safely used by individuals outside a research setting, or that they replace medical care, are unauthorized and may be treated as legally significant misrepresentations.
9. Reporting, Moderation, and Enforcement
Short Chain Labs actively monitors, to the extent reasonably possible, user‑generated content within channels we control. We may:
- Remove or hide content that violates these Guidelines or applicable law.
- Limit, suspend, or terminate user accounts or community access.
- Decline to approve product reviews that describe non‑research use.
- Document and, where appropriate, report activity that appears unlawful or presents health and safety risks.
On platforms we do not control (e.g., independent forums, social media pages we do not own), we may request removal of unauthorized content and publicly disavow statements that conflict with our RUO policies.
Users are encouraged to report violations or concerning content via our website contact methods so that we can review and take action where appropriate.
