Section 01
Refund Policy Overview
This Refund Policy explains when and how we offer refunds, replacements, and store credit on BioPepCems orders. Because our products are sold for research and in vitro use, return eligibility is limited and conditions are spelled out below.
Plain Language
Sealed product can be returned within seven days, case by case. Opened product cannot be returned. Damaged shipments and documentation issues are made right.
Section 02
General Return Eligibility
Due to the research-use nature of our products and the verification chain that ships with every order, returns are limited to the following circumstances:
- The product arrived damaged or compromised in transit
- The product received does not match what was ordered
- The accompanying Certificate of Analysis documentation is missing or contains an error
- The product is sealed, unopened, and the request is made within seven days of delivery
Returns of opened, used, or unsealed compounds are not accepted under any circumstances. This policy reflects standard practice for research-grade compounds, where chain-of-custody and product integrity cannot be verified once a vial has been opened or its seal disturbed.
Section 03
Damaged or Defective Shipments
If your order arrives damaged, with broken vials, compromised packaging, or evidence of tampering, contact our team within seven days of delivery. Include the following:
- Your order number and the email used at checkout
- Photographs of the outer box and any damage
- Photographs of the damaged product and packaging inside
- A description of the issue and whether you would prefer a replacement or a refund
Damaged shipment cases are prioritized and resolved within one business day in most situations. We will issue a replacement, a full refund, or store credit, at your preference.
Section 04
Wrong Product Received
If you received a product that does not match your order, contact our team within seven days of delivery. We will arrange to send the correct product at no additional cost and provide a prepaid return label for the incorrect item.
The incorrect product must be returned in its original sealed packaging. Please do not open or break the seal on the wrong product.
Section 05
COA Documentation Issues
If the Certificate of Analysis included with your order is missing, illegible, or does not match the lot number printed on your product label, contact our team. We will email the correct COA within one business day and, if there is a verifiable mismatch between the product and the documentation, we will arrange a replacement or full refund at no cost to you.
Section 06
Sealed Product Returns
Returns of sealed, unopened product may be considered on a case-by-case basis when requested within seven days of delivery. If approved:
- You are responsible for return shipping costs unless we authorized the return for our error
- The product must be in its original sealed packaging, with all included documentation
- The product must be in saleable condition, with no damage to the vial or label
- A restocking fee of up to fifteen percent may apply, deducted from the refund total
Approval is at our discretion. We may decline return requests where the product is no longer in its original condition or where the request falls outside the seven-day window.
Section 07
Non-Returnable Items
The following are not eligible for return under any circumstances:
- Opened or unsealed product
- Product with damaged, removed, or altered labels
- Product purchased more than seven days ago, except as covered under damage or documentation provisions
- Product purchased through wholesale or bulk-order arrangements, which are governed by separate written terms
- Custom orders or specially manufactured items
- Bacteriostatic water and consumable accessories
Section 08
How Refunds Are Processed
Once your return is approved or your damage claim is resolved, refunds are processed within three to five business days. Refunds are issued to the original payment method.
| Payment Method | Refund Time | Posting Time |
| Credit or debit card |
3 to 5 business days |
5 to 10 business days, depending on issuing bank |
| Store credit |
Same business day |
Immediate, applied to your account |
If you have not received your refund within ten business days of approval, first check your bank statement, then contact your card issuer. If both confirm no posted refund, contact our team with your order number.
Section 09
Order Cancellations
Orders can be cancelled within two hours of placement, before the order enters the fulfillment queue. To request a cancellation, contact our team immediately with your order number.
After fulfillment begins, the order cannot be cancelled. If you wish to refuse the order, you may do so under the sealed-product return process described in Section 06, subject to its conditions.
Section 10
Exchanges
We do not offer direct exchanges. If you would like a different product, the original item must be returned through the standard sealed-product return process, and a new order must be placed for the desired item.
For damaged or wrong-product cases, replacements are sent at no additional cost as part of resolving the original issue, and no separate exchange process is needed.
