Refund and return policy
1. General Policy Overview
Due to the sensitive nature of laboratory research materials, returned items must remain sealed and in their original condition. Products that have been opened, unsealed, or otherwise removed from their protective packaging cannot be accepted for return for safety and quality control reasons.
2. EU Right of Withdrawal (14 Days)
You may withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods, in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive.
Conditions for eligibility:
- the product is unused
- the original seal is fully intact
- packaging is undamaged
- the item has been stored properly
Products that do not meet these conditions cannot be returned.
3. Non-Returnable Items (Legal Exemptions)
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- goods that have been unsealed after delivery
- goods that cannot be returned for reasons of protection of health or hygiene
- goods whose quality or stability may be compromised once opened
Once a vial’s seal is broken or packaging has been opened, the item is considered non-returnable.
