You understand that a number of samples might require recollection, and should this occur, you do not need to pay extra cost for the first re-test. If the initial processing fails for any of these reasons, Neucleus will offer to send another kit to you to collect a second sample and reprocess the second sample at no charge. If the second attempt to process the second sample is unsuccessful, Neucleus will not send additional sample collection kits and you will be entitled solely and exclusively to a complete refund of the amount paid to Neucleus, less shipping and handling,provided the user shall not re-submit another sample through a future purchase of the service.
