Refund Policy
Effective Date: July 11, 2026
At Serenity Research Labs LLC, we're committed to accurate fulfillment and clear resolution support. Understand our refund policy and how we handle returns.
1. Overview
Serenity Research Labs LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "Company") offers this refund policy for our research-use-only catalog materials. This policy applies to approved research-use requests placed through our website and is designed to protect both our customers and the integrity of our research chemical inventory.
Because listed catalog materials are intended solely for in vitro laboratory research settings, we maintain inventory-control standards and review every request before any collection step. All refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to the terms outlined below.
2. Eligibility for Refunds
We will issue a refund for the following qualifying reasons:
-
•
Damaged in Transit
Catalog Item arrives damaged, broken, or leaking due to shipping damage (not customer mishandling).
-
•
Wrong Item Shipped
We ship an incorrect product or quantity due to our error.
-
•
Documented Specification Mismatch
A supplier- or lab-issued document, or independent analytical evidence, shows that the shipped item does not match its product record or linked batch documentation.
3. Non-Refundable Items
We cannot accept returns or issue refunds for:
-
•
Opened or Used Catalog Items
Once a vial or container is opened, we cannot accept it. Due to the research chemical nature of our products and contamination risk, we cannot verify integrity after opening.
-
•
Catalog Items Without Original Packaging
Items must arrive in their original, sealed containers with all labels intact.
-
•
Requests Outside the 7-Day Window
Requests submitted more than 7 days after delivery are not eligible unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Step 4: Return Instructions
If approved, we will provide return instructions and either a prepaid shipping label for our error or instructions for an eligible unopened return at your shipping cost.
