Understanding the Refund Policy
DNA Labs India, an ISO 9001 certified laboratory, is committed to transparency and patient satisfaction. This refund policy outlines the conditions under which cancellations and refunds are processed, ensuring clarity for all customers. The policy applies to all diagnostic tests and services offered by DNA Labs India.
Cancellation Stages and Deductions
Refunds are determined by the stage at which cancellation occurs. The following table summarizes the deduction percentages and conditions:
| Stage | Deduction | Refund | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before Sample Collection | Processing fees only | Full amount minus processing fees | Cancellation before any sample collection |
| After Collection, Before Dispatch | 10% | 90% | Sample collected but not yet dispatched to lab |
| After Dispatch, Before Lab Delivery | 20% | 80% | Sample dispatched but not yet delivered to lab |
| After Lab Delivery, During Initial Processing | 40% | 60% | Sample delivered and in first stage of preparation |
| Inconclusive Results | 70% (if refund chosen) | 30% (if refund chosen) | Free retest offered; refund only on customer insistence |
| After Full Processing | 100% | 0% | Testing fully initiated and completed |
Inconclusive Results and Retesting
If a sample does not yield conclusive results, DNA Labs India offers a free retest to ensure accurate diagnostics. Customers who prefer a refund over a retest will receive a 30% refund after a 70% deduction. This policy balances operational costs with patient convenience.
Additional Testing and Liability
In cases where additional testing is required to obtain conclusive results, customers will be notified of the associated costs before proceeding. Declining additional testing does not entitle the customer to a refund. DNA Labs India is not liable for errors or omissions in reports, and no refunds are issued in such cases.
Legal and Jurisdictional Terms
This refund policy is governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from this policy are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. By using DNA Labs India's services, customers agree to these terms.
