If you make a mistake
If you make an error while using or shipping the kit (it happens!), we may offer a replacement kit at a discounted rate.
Examples of client error include:

- Shipping a kit back on a Friday, over the weekend, or over holiday lab closures
- Not using the provided transport liquid
- Using an expired sperm transport liquid, or a transport liquid that was not kept refrigerated
- Opening or breaking the security seal after your kit is sealed
