We take great care to give you a successfulful and memorable hatching experience. However, we are dealing with nature, so not every egg will be fertile, not every egg will hatch, and sometime a chick may die for unkown reasons. In addition, there are other things that could go wrong. You may experience a power outage or someone might accidentally unplug the incubator. Unheated classrooms may get too cold for the incubator to keep up. These are things that are out of our control, so we don't offer refunds. In the event that something does go wrong, please contact us immediately so we can offer guidance and support.
