Next Advance Return Policy

Instrument(s) with a 30-day risk-free trial period may be returned at any time provided the return is authorized by Next Advance within 30 days of delivery of the instrument(s) (see “how to return an item”) and provided that the instrument(s) has not been misused or otherwise returned in a poor, damaged, or defective condition because of misuse or negligence by the user.  Instruments not covered under a 30-day trial, or equipment for which the 30-day trial has passed, will be accepted for return only at the discretion of Next Advance and will be subject to a 15% restocking fee.  Items that are returned and found to have been damaged, misused, or otherwise devalued will be subject to an additional fee or may not be deemed refundable, as determined by Next Advance.

Accessories and other non-consumable, non-instrument purchases may be returned at the discretion of Next Advance, provided the return is authorized by Next Advance within 60 days of delivery of the items (see “how to return an item”).  Such returns will be subject to a 15% restocking fee.  Items that are returned and found to have been damaged, misused, or otherwise devalued will be subject to an additional fee or may not be deemed refundable, as determined by Next Advance.

Consumables may be returned provided the return is authorized by Next Advance within 30 days of delivery (see “how to return an item”) provided that they are unopened and in their original packaging. Consumables are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Consumables that are found to be opened, tampered with, adulterated, fully or partially used, or in any condition other than they were originally sent from NAI will not qualify for a refund.
