Returns and Cancellation Policy

How to report problems with a delivery, and the circumstances in which returns and refunds are available.

Effective 23 July 2026 · Last updated 23 July 2026

1. Inspecting your delivery

Customers must inspect deliveries immediately on receipt. Damaged, incorrect or defective items should be reported to us via the contact form on our website within 48 hours of delivery, with supporting photographs of the outer packaging and the affected items.

Where a claim is supported, PUREPEP LTD will investigate and, where appropriate, provide a replacement or refund.

2. Nature of the goods

Our products are laboratory research materials supplied in single-use vials. They are sensitive to temperature, handling and exposure, and once goods leave our control the conditions in which they are stored and handled cannot be verified by us.

Sterility, endotoxin status and other analytical properties are only claimed for a specific batch where they are supported by the batch documentation published on the applicable product page and in the Documentation Centre. Where documentation does not cover a given property for a batch, that property is not asserted.

For quality and safety reasons, products cannot normally be accepted back after successful delivery, other than in the case of damaged, defective or incorrect items reported as set out above, or where a return is required by applicable UK consumer law.

3. Return authorisation

Products must never be returned to us without prior written authorisation. Unauthorised returns cannot be processed and may be refused.

4. Refunds

Where a refund is due, it will be issued to the original payment method within a reasonable period after the returned goods (where applicable) have been received and inspected, or after our investigation is completed.

5. Cancellation before dispatch

If you wish to cancel an order before it has been dispatched, please contact us via the contact form as soon as possible. Where the order has not yet been dispatched we will normally be able to cancel it and refund the amount paid.

6. Consumer rights

Nothing in this policy removes or limits any rights you may have as a consumer under applicable UK consumer legislation. The research-use nature of our materials is not used as a basis to remove lawful consumer rights.

7. How to contact us

All cancellation, return and refund requests should be submitted through the contact form on our website and, where possible, should include your order reference.
