Return, Refund, and Inspection Policy

At Remedium Research, we are committed to supplying analytically verified, laboratory-grade research compounds and biological reference materials to qualified scientific professionals and institutions. Because our catalog consists of temperature-sensitive biochemicals and peptides—including our high-capacity Remedium Research 30mg and multi-receptor formulations—maintaining an unbroken chain of custody is essential to preserving chemical integrity and biosafety.

This policy outlines our procedures for returns, refunds, damaged shipments, and product replacements, while detailing how we handle customer verification and personal data during the claims process.

1. About Our Quality Standards & Product Nature

Remedium Research operates exclusively as a supplier of investigational compounds intended strictly for in vitro, analytical, and laboratory research. Our products are not pharmaceutical medications, veterinary drugs, or consumer goods.

Due to the specialized nature of lyophilized peptides and liquid formulations:

  • Peptide bonds are susceptible to degradation from thermal fluctuations, kinetic agitation, and UV exposure.

  • Once a biological reference product leaves our climate-controlled storage and the carrier completes delivery, the environmental chain of custody is broken.

  • To protect the scientific integrity of all laboratory materials we supply, we cannot accept returns or offer restocks on opened, reconstituted, or unsealed peptide vials.

2. Order Cancellation Prior to Dispatch

If you need to modify or cancel an order:

  • Pre-Dispatch Window: Orders may be cancelled for a full refund only if the request is submitted and confirmed before the order has entered our automated packaging and dispatch queue.

  • Processed Shipments: Once tracking information has been generated and the package has been handed over to the courier, the shipment cannot be intercepted, recalled, or cancelled.

3. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Shipments

We take rigorous precautions when packaging our glass vials and research formulations. In the rare event that an order arrives compromised:

Reporting Requirements

All claims regarding damaged packaging, compromised seals, missing items, or incorrect product dispatches must be submitted within 48 hours of confirmed carrier delivery.

To file an inspection claim, please submit:

  1. Your official order number and registered laboratory/institutional contact details.

  2. Clear, high-resolution photographs of the exterior shipping box (showing the shipping label).

  3. Clear photographs of the internal packaging and the specific product showing the lot/batch identification number and the damaged seal or broken vial.

Resolution Protocol

Upon rapid review by our logistics and quality verification team:

  • Verified Damage or Shipping Errors: If an item is verified as broken in transit or incorrectly fulfilled by our dispatch facility, Remedium Research will dispatch an immediate replacement at no additional charge. If a replacement is out of stock, a full refund to the original payment method will be issued.

  • Return of Incorrect Items: If an incorrect product was dispatched, we may provide a pre-paid return label. The product must remain unopened, sealed, and kept in recommended temperature conditions until handed to the courier.

4. Refund Processing

Once an authorized refund is approved:

  • Payment Method: Refunds are credited strictly back to the original method of payment (bank transfer, debit/credit card, or approved commercial payment gateway).

  • Processing Timeline: Financial institutions typically take 3 to 7 business days to post refunded amounts to your account once released by our billing team.

  • Non-Refundable Fees: Expedited shipping fees, cold-chain handling surcharges, and customized laboratory preparation fees are non-refundable unless the return is due to an internal fulfillment error.

5. Privacy, Compliance, and Data Protection

Processing return and refund claims requires the collection and verification of transaction records. Remedium Research handles all customer information in strict compliance with the UK Data Protection Act and UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

Data Collected for Claims

When you submit a refund or replacement inquiry, we process:

  • Institutional/individual contact details (name, billing/shipping address, email, telephone number).

  • Order history, payment confirmation references, and IP verification data.

  • Photographic evidence provided for quality control and lot verification.

How We Use and Protect Your Data

  • Purpose: This data is used solely to authenticate purchases, process financial reconciliations, investigate shipping partner claims, and prevent fraudulent returns.

  • Data Retention: Return and refund documentation is retained only for the period required by statutory UK accounting, tax, and consumer compliance obligations.

  • Third-Party Sharing: Your payment details are encrypted and handled exclusively by PCI-compliant payment gateways. We never sell, lease, or distribute your private research inquiries, order contents, or personal information to marketing databases or unauthorized third parties.
