Your Rights as a UK & EU Consumer
As a customer purchasing from eupeptidelap.co.uk, you are protected by robust consumer legislation, whether you are in the United Kingdom or a member state of the European Union. We have structured our policies to not only comply with these laws but to exceed them in our commitment to your satisfaction.
🇪🇺 For Our EU Customers: The 14-Day Cooling-Off Period
Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU, consumers throughout the European Union are entitled to a 14-day “cooling-off” period when purchasing goods online . This gives you the right to cancel your order and receive a full refund, for any reason, within 14 days of receiving your goods .
However, there is an important exception that applies to our products: The right of withdrawal does not apply to “the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery” . Due to the nature of peptide products—which require strict handling, storage, and hygiene protocols for safety and efficacy—we cannot accept returns for simply “change of mind” once the sealed packaging has been opened.
For unopened, sealed products, you retain the full right to cancel within 14 days. If you have ordered in error or changed your mind before opening the product, please contact us immediately, and we will guide you through the returns process.
🇬🇧 For Our UK Customers: The Consumer Contracts Regulations
For our UK customers, your rights are protected under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 . These regulations provide a similar 14-day cancellation period for distance sales (online, phone, mail order) .
As with EU law, there are exceptions to the cancellation right. The regulations exempt “sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery” . This exemption applies directly to our peptide products, which is why we can only accept returns for unopened, sealed items.
This approach is standard practice across the peptide industry. As one leading supplier notes, “Due to the nature of the peptides we sell, we do not accept returns” for opened products, though they will work with customers to resolve quality control issues . Another major UK peptide supplier states that “Due to the nature of our products, we will only accept returns for defective items”
