  Warranty

• Equipment is guaranteed against defects of manufacture for a period of one year.
   

• Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, or open any product without the approval of V&P Scientific, Inc.  Evidence of any attempts to open and/or modify our product, including any peeling, puncturing, or removal of any labels will void V&P Scientific, Inc. warranty.
   

• Pins for pin tools and replicators

  At the time of shipment to you, we certify that the pins have been validated to the standards of the V&P Scientific Inc. Quality Control Department.  Validation includes thorough cleaning, testing using a FITC assay with the resulting CV listed on an attached Pin Validation Test Results sheet, and a visual inspection.  V&P also certifies that the pins are in new and pristine condition at the time of shipment.

   

  If pins are returned due to poor performance resulting from action by the customer, such as improper or inadequate cleaning, physical damage or other misuse, a charge for pin cleaning and/or replacement will be necessary.

  Returns

No returns on custom items. No returns on products that have been in contact with lab reagents (products such as wands, manifolds, reservoirs, pin tools, etc.).

There is a 25% restocking charge for returns due to customer ordering error.

We try to make sure you have ordered the correct product from the beginning. So if you realize, within a reasonable period of time, that you have ordered the wrong item, we will take it back. But in order to process the return and prepare the product for re-sale we have to charge a fee.

Returns are not accepted without a written authorization. Please contact us for return instructions by phone (858-455-0643) or email (sales@vp-scientific.com).

We would like to have an open return policy, but this is not practical given the nature of the work done by our customers. If the product has been used with hazardous materials (radioactive, biological, chemical) we cannot take it back. If the product has been used with a material that renders it useless or unsellable (such as a dye or material that leaves a visible residue), we cannot take it back. Unfortunately, in most cases this is what will happen to products once they have been used in a research setting.

As long as the product is used as it was designed to be used, then we will make every attempt to make sure that it is functioning for that purpose. Our products are under warranty for materials and workmanship for one year after purchase.
 

  Conditions

* All products are intended to be used for research purposes only.
* They are not to be used for diagnostic purposes.

Product Changes

* We reserve the right to change specifications of our products at any time without notice.
