Throughout these Terms, "New Gen Genetix," "we," "us," and "our" refer to New Gen Genetix. "Customer," "you," and "your" refer to any person accessing our website or purchasing our products.

2. Website Use

You may use this website for lawful purposes only.

You agree not to:

  • Use the website for any unlawful purpose.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, accounts, systems, or data.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the website.
  • Introduce malicious software, code, or other harmful material.
  • Copy, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit website content without permission.
  • Use information obtained from the website to engage in fraudulent or unlawful activity.
  • Misrepresent your identity or provide false information when placing an order.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the website when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.

3. Customer Eligibility & Legal Responsibility

By purchasing from New Gen Genetix, you represent that you are legally permitted to purchase, possess, receive, and care for the animal, insect, or other product being ordered.

Customers are responsible for knowing and complying with all applicable federal, state, county, municipal, and other laws and regulations that apply to their purchase and possession of any animal, insect, clean-up crew organism, or other regulated product.

Laws and regulations may vary by location and may change over time.

New Gen Genetix will not knowingly ship a product to a destination where we determine that its sale, possession, importation, transportation, or shipment is prohibited or otherwise unlawful.

We reserve the right to cancel an order when we reasonably believe that fulfilling the order could violate applicable law or regulations.

4. Product Information & Availability

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate descriptions, photographs, measurements, quantities, availability information, and other product details.

However, live animals and live insects are naturally variable products.

Individual animals may vary in appearance, coloration, pattern, size, temperament, and development. Live feeder insects and clean-up crew organisms may also vary naturally in size, appearance, and quantity.

Photographs may not represent the exact individual animal or organisms included in an order unless specifically stated in the product listing.

Product availability, pricing, descriptions, and specifications may change without notice.

We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including pricing and availability errors.

5. Orders & Order Acceptance

Submitting an order through our website constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products.

An order confirmation indicates that we have received your order; it does not necessarily mean that New Gen Genetix has accepted the order or is obligated to fulfill it.

We reserve the right to accept, decline, limit, or cancel an order for reasons including, but not limited to:

  • Product availability
  • Legal or regulatory restrictions
  • Shipping limitations
  • Weather or unsafe shipping conditions
  • Incorrect product or pricing information
  • Suspected fraudulent or unauthorized transactions
  • Inability to safely fulfill the order
  • Customer-provided information that is incomplete or inaccurate

If we cancel an order after payment has been processed, we will provide an applicable refund to the original payment method unless otherwise agreed.

6. Pricing & Payment

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Prices may change without notice. The price charged for an order will generally be the price displayed at the time the order is placed, subject to correction of obvious errors.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate billing and payment information.

Payment must be successfully authorized and processed before an order is fulfilled.

New Gen Genetix may use third-party payment processors, including Shopify Payments and PayPal. Payment processing may be subject to the applicable provider's own terms and policies.

7. Customer Information & Order Accuracy

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete information when placing an order, including:

Full name
Email address
Telephone number
Shipping information
Billing information

Any information necessary to safely and legally fulfill the order

New Gen Genetix is not responsible for delays, additional costs, failed deliveries, or other problems resulting from incorrect or incomplete information provided by the customer.

For live-animal shipments in particular, customers are responsible for following all pickup, identification, signature, and receiving requirements described in our Shipping & Returns Policy.

8. Shipping, Live Animals & Returns

Shipping procedures, live-animal transportation, FedEx pickup requirements, weather-related delays, Live Arrival/DOA requirements, return eligibility, refunds, and other fulfillment matters are governed by our Shipping & Returns Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Please review the Shipping & Returns Policy before placing an order.

For live products, the Shipping & Returns Policy contains important requirements regarding shipping methods, signatures, pickup, and the one-hour reporting period for arrival issues.

9. Live Animal & Live Product Responsibility

New Gen Genetix takes the health and welfare of the animals and live organisms we sell seriously.

Once a live animal, feeder insect, or clean-up crew organism has been properly delivered or made available for pickup, the customer is responsible for providing appropriate care, housing, temperature, humidity, nutrition, handling, and other husbandry requirements appropriate for that species.

New Gen Genetix is not responsible for problems resulting from improper care, handling, housing, environmental conditions, or other circumstances occurring after the customer receives or picks up the live product.

Any applicable Live Arrival Guarantee is governed exclusively by the requirements outlined in our Shipping & Returns Policy.

10. Cancellations

Customers who need to cancel an order should contact New Gen Genetix as soon as possible.

Because live products may be scheduled for shipment based on specific dates and conditions, cancellation requests involving live animals, feeder insects, or clean-up crews may be subject to additional restrictions.

Once an order has entered the shipping or fulfillment process, cancellation may no longer be possible.

Any approved cancellation or refund will be handled according to our Shipping & Returns Policy.

11. Prohibited Resale or Transfer Where Restricted

Customers may not purchase or receive animals, insects, or other regulated organisms for the purpose of transferring, reselling, transporting, or distributing them in violation of applicable laws or regulations.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that any subsequent transfer or sale is lawful.
