Return Policy

American Master*Tech Scientific Incorporated (AMTS, Inc.) is committed to supplying products and services that meet or exceed customer expectations. The company stands behind all products and will accept for return, without cost to our customers, any product that is faulty, malfunctioned, does not perform according to specifications, or that does not meet specifications with respect to chemical and physical properties.

In addition, AMTS, Inc. will consider all other requests for return of product. In the event that the request pertains to a product that was incorrectly ordered by the customer, incorrectly stored by the customer, or has exceeded recommended storage life at the customer's facility, AMTS, Inc. will work closely with the customer for disposition of the product. The financial settlement between AMTS, Inc. and the customer will be determined after considering the appropriate method of disposing of the material in question, and will take shipment and disposal costs into consideration.

All sales are final and not all return requests or refund requests are granted. AMTS, Inc. and its authorized representatives may decide to replace a product rather than process a return or refund. If a refund is granted at no fault of the product or AMTS, AMTS, Inc. maintains the right to charge up to a 20% restocking fee on all returned products.

All product returns, or refund requests, regardless of the reason shall be considered and evaluated only if the following product return/refund procedure is performed and any associated criteria is met:

  1. Place an informal call or email to AMTS, Inc., request customer service, and alert the specialist that you would like to return a product. Include the reason for return as well as any pertinent data and a lot number if applicable to support your claim and facilitate the process.
  2. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX, OR MODIFY BROKEN OR FAULTY PRODUCTS IN ANY WAY.
  3. DO NOT REPACK MEDICAL SOLUTIONS IN THIRD PARTY PACKAGING UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE AT AMTS, INC.
  4. You may be requested to send a small sample of the product to AMTS, Inc. for testing purposes to evaluate your claim.
  5. After careful review of your situation and request, a representative from AMTS, Inc. will contact you via e-mail or telephone with a grant to return your product, or a denial to return your product.
  6. If you are granted a return, the grant is for one instance only and for one product in that instance unless otherwise specified. You will receive instructions on how to return, and or dispose of the product.

AMTS Inc. shall not be held responsible for customers who do not follow its product return/refund policy by returning products to the company without prior authorization. The customer in these instances shall be held responsible for shipping costs on any unauthorized return.

If you are an American MasterTech distributor, you must follow the same procedure listed above, including contact American MasterTech and receive authorization before granting return authorization to any customer. American MasterTech will not accept unauthorized returns. Distributors are not authorized to refuse shipments or have customers refuse shipments. The distributor will be responsible for all costs of an unauthorized return. This includes all freight costs incurred.
