For monomers, polymers, solvents and other chemical made products of powder, liquid, cream, emulsions, ointments, etc., we need to receive a detailed reason for your return. If the product is proved not to be defective by our testing lab, return will be considered contaminated and not restockable or resalable. In this case we will not be able to credit your account and goods will be returned to you. Due to F.D.A. Regulations, we are obliged to enforce the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) code, according to which we must receive information from our customers showing invoice numbers, dates purchased and reason for return before we can process this return. We are subject to periodic FDA inspections and we must abide by the law.

EXCHANGE OR RETURN OF FULL SETS OF PLASTIC TEETH
We can accept returns of full sets, of the Tooth Lines listed below - see #3, only if they are accompanied by a tooth order for the same line of teeth. Absolutely no return of full sets will be accepted without prior consent in writing or by calling (805) 487-9868. The return of full sets must not be more than 40% of the dollar value of the new tooth order. No handling charge or extra charge will be applied on the return. However, teeth returned must have been purchased no more than one year before the date of return. Proof of purchase must be attached to return request. No credit will be allowed for loose teeth, ground teeth or teeth not on original card; see paragraph 2 below for specifications on returns of full sets of teeth. For other types of returns or exchanges please request your needs in writing.

POLICY FOR RETURN OF BROKEN SETS OF PLASTIC TEETH
1. All broken sets of plastic teeth will be accepted for credit into our Tooth Bank. All returns of teeth must be returned freight prepaid and will be checked by our Receiving Department. No credit will be allowed for loose teeth, ground teeth, or teeth not on cards (see paragraph 2 below for additional details). You may send any amount of broken sets to be credited in the Tooth Bank against future orders. Based on the Receiving Ticket (ATI Form #132), the Tooth Bank Accounting Department will issue a Tooth Bank Credit Voucher (ATI Form #107). The credit is posted in a Tooth Bank Ledger in your name. A 30% limitation of broken set credit will be issued against each one of your orders (for the same line of teeth only). Example, if you place an order of $100.00 for Justi Blend teeth, we shall decrease your Justi Blend Tooth Bank account by $30.00 (assuming you have accumulated that much in your account) and issue an effective credit on your invoice. Payment of your regular account must be current, including finance charges, to be eligible for the 30% broken set credit. Under no circumstances will we refund to the customer the equivalent in cash of the dollar amount of broken set credit. Tooth Bank credit balance cannot be used to pay off a Regular Receivable balance unless it is used in conjunction with a new purchase.
2. Broken sets and full sets returned will not be credited if received in the following conditions: a. Loose teeth off cards due to improper packaging. b. Ground, chipped or damaged teeth. c. Teeth not on clean cards or in the proper position or proper molds. d. Teeth with wax and permanent markings on them. (Paper dots are O.K.). e. Cards with any markings on the front or back (including bar coding which cannot be easily removed). f. Excessively dusty and dirty cards and/or teeth. g. Teeth must be returned in tooth boxes.
All of the above applies to full sets and broken sets.
