  • You will not be charged
  • We will notify you when inventory returns
  • Your subscription will resume on the next available billing cycle

We do not substitute other compounds without your direct approval.

7. Canceling Your Subscription

You may cancel your subscription anytime:

  • Through your dashboard
  • By emailing hello@kold.us
  • Via the cancellation link in your reminder email

Cancellation Notice:
Cancellations must be submitted at least 72 hours before your billing date.
If submitted after billing, that month’s shipment will still be processed.

No Retroactive Cancellations:
Canceling after a charge has been processed does not void that shipment.
Cancellation will apply to future billing only.

8. Returns and Refunds

All subscription orders are subject to KÖLD’s standard return policy:

All sales are final, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Subscription orders cannot be returned or refunded unless:

  • You received the wrong item
  • Your order arrived damaged (reported within 72 hours)
  • A verified defect is confirmed

No Partial Refunds:
Once billed, subscription orders are processed as final. We do not issue prorated refunds for cancellations made mid-cycle.

9. Failed Payments

If your payment method fails:

  • We will retry the charge for up to 7 days
  • If unsuccessful, your subscription will be automatically canceled
  • You will receive an email notification

You may reactivate your subscription anytime by updating your payment method.

10. Reactivating a Subscription

If you pause or cancel your subscription, you can restart it anytime.
Your previous billing and shipping details will remain stored unless you request full data deletion.

11. Price Changes

KÖLD may adjust subscription pricing from time to time.
If pricing changes affect your plan:

  • You will be notified at least 14 days in advance via email
  • You’ll have the option to cancel before your next billing cycle
  • If no action is taken, the new price will apply and be considered accepted on your next billing date
12. Shipping Confirmation

Risk of loss transfers to you once the carrier confirms delivery.
If you believe a shipment was misdelivered or stolen, contact KÖLD Support immediately.
We will assist, but confirmation of delivery by the carrier completes our shipping obligation.

13. Research-Use Compliance Reminder

All subscriptions are subject to the same compliance policies as all KÖLD orders.

All compounds are sold strictly for in vitro research use only.
A subscription does not imply intended or approved use outside a lab setting.

14. Subscription Terms May Change

We may update this policy as our platform evolves.
All changes will be reflected here, and your continued subscription confirms agreement with the most recent version

15. Chargeback Policy

If a chargeback is filed without first contacting KÖLD Support to resolve the issue:

  • Your account may be permanently banned
  • Future transactions or subscriptions may be blocked
  • No further orders will be accepted under that account or card

We keep full records of billing, shipping, and support to resolve any disputes properly.
