How is a Lab Perks membership billed?

What you pay, and for what

A membership costs $200 in US dollars, paid once. That single payment covers 12months in the member area, where every listed supplier's discount code is kept. Spread over the year it comes to roughly $16.67 a month, but nothing is billed monthly: there is one order and one payment.

The membership is the only thing Lab Perks sells. There are no add-ons or tiers, and research materials are bought from the suppliers directly, on their own websites and at their own prices.

Paying, step by step

Payment is in USDT, USDC or BTC only. Here is the whole route from the membership page to an unlocked member area:

1. Sign in, or create a free account, and choose Buy membership on the membership page.
2. At checkout, enter your billing details (a US billing address is needed), confirm that you buy research materials for laboratory research only, and place the membership order.
3. The order page that follows lists a wallet address for each accepted asset, the network next to each address, the exact amount due and the time the payment is due by.
4. Send that amount in USDT or USDC, or the same value in BTC, to one of the addresses, using only the asset and network shown beside it. Funds sent on another network or as another asset can't be recovered.
5. Email the transaction hash, with a screenshot, to the address given on the order page, quoting your order number.
6. Once the payment is confirmed, the order page says your membership is active and the member area unlocks.

Lab Perksdoesn't recommend wallets or exchanges and can't give advice about them. The order page is the only place that shows the addresses to pay to.

The 72-hour payment window

A membership order that is still unpaid 72 hours after it was placed is cancelled. The order page shows the exact deadline in US Eastern time. If you already have a membership order waiting for payment, pay that one rather than starting another: checkout points you back to it. If the window has closed, simply place a new order.

When the 12 months start and end

The 12 months are counted from the day the membership order is placed, not from the day the payment is confirmed, so it pays to send the payment soon after ordering. Access to the codes begins once the payment is confirmed. The member area and the membership page both show the date your membership runs until.

A membership can't be extended or stacked while it is running. A new one can be bought once the current one ends.

No automatic renewal

No card or wallet is stored, and nothing is ever charged automatically. There is no subscription to cancel. When the 12 months are over, the codes are hidden again and the member area offers a new membership; whether you buy one is up to you. Your account, order history and access to the public directory stay in place either way.

Refunds

The rule, as the membership terms state it: If you have not viewed any member code, you can request a refund within 7 days of payment.

To ask for a refund, write to support@labperks.com from the email address on your account and include your order number. Revealing the codes in the member area counts as viewing them, which is why the codes sit behind a button and the member area repeats the rule above it. The member codes page explains that screen.

What happens to your billing details

The name, email and billing details you give at checkout are used only to run your account and membership: the order, the payment check, the member area and emails about your membership or password. They are not sold, and suppliers never receive them from Lab Perks. The privacy page has the details. Questions about a payment go to support@labperks.com.
