Overview
This Return & Refund Policy applies to all purchases made from Impact Recovery (“Impact Recovery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Due to the regulated and hazardous nature of refrigerants and pressurized cylinders, all returns are subject to strict conditions.
1. Refrigerant Sales Are Final
All refrigerant sales are considered final sale items once shipped.
Because refrigerants are regulated materials and pressurized containers, we cannot accept returns simply because:
- The wrong refrigerant was ordered
- A job was canceled
- The product is no longer needed
- The buyer changed their mind
- price fluctuations occurred
- The customer did not verify compatibility
It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm:
- refrigerant type
- system compatibility
- cylinder size
- quantity
before placing an order.
2. Opened or Used Cylinders
We DO NOT accept returns on:
- opened cylinders
- partially used cylinders
- installed refrigerant
- tampered safety seals
Any cylinder with a broken seal is legally considered used material and cannot be resold.
3. EPA Regulations
Federal law restricts the resale and transportation of refrigerant once it has been delivered to the end user.
For safety, environmental, and compliance reasons, refrigerants cannot be returned after delivery unless damaged in transit.
4. Damaged or Incorrect Shipments
We will replace items ONLY if:
- The wrong product was shipped
REQUIRED STEPS
You must:
- Inspect shipment at delivery
- Note damage on the delivery receipt
- Take clear photos
- Email us within 24 hours of delivery
Failure to report damage within 24 hours will void your claim.
5. Freight Damage Claims
Freight shipments must be inspected before signing.
If you sign the delivery receipt as “received in good condition,” the freight carrier will deny the claim and we may be unable to issue a refund.
6. Refused Shipments
If a shipment is refused for any reason other than shipping damage:
Customer is responsible for:
- return freight cost
- original outbound shipping
- carrier penalties
- restocking fee (up to 25%)
Refunds (if approved) will be issued after we receive and inspect the returned shipment.
7. Order Cancellations
Orders may be canceled only if they have NOT shipped yet.
Once an order has shipped:
it is treated as a completed sale.
8. Refund Processing
Approved refunds will be issued:

Shipping charges are non-refundable.

Claims cannot be approved if:
