Orders may not be accepted for delivery to certain addresses and territories based upon your location. We may contact you (via email or phone) if additional information is required to accept and process your order. Invalid order information may result in delays processing your order. For Product purchases, your receipt of order confirmation does not constitute Company’s acceptance of your order. Without prior notification, the Company maintains the right to limit the Product order quantity and the right to refuse to sell Products to any customer for any reason or no reason at all. Company reserves the right not to sell to resellers, dealers, or distributors.

    6. Colors and Other Features. We have endeavored to be as accurate as possible in describing and displaying the colors and other features of the Products made available for purchase through the Service; however, there is no warranty or guarantee that the colors, size, quality, product descriptions, or other content of the Service is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.
  9. Shipping:
     
    1. We will ship the Product(s) you purchase via the shipping method of our choice, on such other terms and conditions (such as applicable shipping and handling fees) that we may disclose to you at the time of your purchase. We do not guarantee the services of any shipping service, and delivery dates and times are estimates and are not guaranteed. We will, however, use commercially reasonable efforts to dispatch the Product to you as soon as reasonably possible after you place your order. During busy times or circumstances outside of our control, such as holiday periods, periods of inclement weather, etc., there may be additional processing and shipping delays.
       
    2. You agree to not hold the Company liable for any shipping issues. Most package carriers have a short time frame in which to initiate claims. Any delivery issues need to be reported appropriately and in a timely manner. We recommend that you inspect your package for damage immediately upon arrival. If there is a problem, contact the delivery service immediately to resolve any problems.
       
    3. For lost or delayed shipments, carrier policies will apply before we are able to file a claim (outlined on our Support Page). Issues with lost or delayed deliveries need to be reported within 30 days from the last carrier tracking update. This excludes packages that have been marked as "Delivered" or "Arrival in Destination Country". A package that has been marked as "Delivered" or "Arrival in Destination Country" is not eligible for a lost in transit claim, nor eligible for a refund.
       
    4. Any damaged or missing items need to be reported within 20 days from the delivery date (based on the tracking), including clear photo evidence, to be eligible for a claim.
       
    5. Returned to Sender shipments are not valid claims. If there is a problem with delivery, contact the carrier service immediately to resolve any problems to avoid returns. Should your shipment be returned ("Returned To Sender") for any reason, any shipping & processing fees paid to the carrier will not be refunded. Moreover, as the originating warehouse does not generally accept returns, additional fees will also be applied aside from those already paid to the carrier.
       
    6. Shipping information is captured during checkout, be it manually or automatically (if using digital wallets) and may be updated by logging in to your Account or contacting us for changes. Once an order is processed for dispatch, we can no longer make any changes to your order (products, shipping address, delivery speed, etc), nor cancel it. 
       
    7. The Company is not responsible for any customs fees, import duties or taxes that is enforced by your country's customs regulations.
       
    8. Unless otherwise provided by notice from Company, all Products are shipped F.O.B. from any place we designate the Products to leave. At our discretion, we may choose to halt or alter (when possible), the delivery of an order, even though it is in the hands of a delivery agent or shipping company. We may do this as a customer service or in cases where we suspect fraud. You agree to pay any additional charges that may arise due to circumstances in which we take such action.
       
  10. Returns.
     
    1. Unfortunately, these are medical products that cannot be reused if returned. Therefore, there will be no refund for the initial costs of the discounted first-month kit. Subscription kits that are automatically shipped as part of your active subscription, after the first trial month concludes, will not be eligible for a return or refund. 
       
    2. We are only able to accept returns of unopened first-time purchases of individual shop products (single orders). This does not include subscription kits. Should a return be offered, the product/s need to be returned within 10 days of delivery date (based on carrier tracking). You are not to return the items to the place of origin, rather you will be provided with an address where the items need to be sent to. The company will not cover the shipping costs of sending the products to the customer (this covers all expenses related to fulfillment, processing & shipping), nor the shipping costs of returning the products to the company. In the scenario that you return the items to the place of origin (warehouse) other than the one provided to you, additional return fees (excluding fulfillment, processing & shipping fees mentioned prior) will be applied and deducted to your total refund. A refund will not be issued to you if you cannot provide proof of return (return receipt + tracking).

Your account may be deactivated without notice to you if payment is past due, regardless of the dollar amount. You are also responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your use of the Service, including, but not limited to, sales, use, or value-added taxes. To the extent Company is obligated to collect such taxes, the applicable tax will be added to your billing account.
       
    3. Authorization to charge the payment method on the account will remain in effect until you cancel or modify your preferences within the Service; provided, however, that such notice will not affect charges submitted before Company could reasonably act. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you ordered the applicable service or on the payment terms specified on the MDacne app. You agree that charges may be accumulated as incurred and may be submitted as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of the applicable billing cycle.
       
    4. Company reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges for the Service we provide, and to institute new fees, charges, or terms effective upon prior notice to our Users. You will receive notice of any fee change at least five (5) days before the scheduled date of the transaction and failure to cancel your account as set forth herein will constitute acceptance of such fee change. Any changes to fees will apply only on a prospective basis. If you do not agree to any such changes to fees, charges, or terms, your sole remedy is to cancel your subscription. Fees paid for any subscription term are paid in advance and are not refundable in whole or in part. If you have a balance due on any Service account, you agree that Company can charge these unpaid fees to any payment method that you have previously provided.
       
    5. Your Service will be automatically renewed one (1) month after your initial sign up, without further authorization from you, and the payment method on file will be charged per your plan selection respectively (e.g. every 1,2, 3 or 6 months).

You acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may change if the applicable tax rates change or if there has been a change in the applicable fees, or if there are any currency rate conversion associated with your purchase.
       
    6. The MDacne subscription is a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly membership service that automatically renews per your subscription plan term (e.g. every 1,2, 3 or 6 months) respectively, i.e. if you are on the bi-monthly plan, the member will receive a 2 month supply of their chosen customized treatment kit.
       
    7. Upon sign up, you have unrestricted access to your account settings. You are able to cancel your subscription, and/or place any further orders from your account (either on the MDacne app or on the website). You hereby consent to and authorize any changes made to your subscription may result in additional charges, either for one-time orders or further subscription kits.
       
    8. For subscriptions, you must cancel your subscription or modify you next billing & shipping date from within the Service at least five (5) business days prior to the next billing date to avoid being charged for the next billing period.

    Governing Law. You agree that: (a) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and (b) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Company regarding your use of the Services shall be governed by and interpreted under the internal substantive laws of the State of California without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Except as provided in the Section below entitled ”Arbitration,” you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California, specifically for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that San Francisco County, California is the proper forum for any court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
     
    1. Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from the Company and how claims are resolved, including our agreement to waive the right to a trial by jury and a prohibition on class and representative actions and non-individualized relief pursuant to which you agree to waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit against the Company.  You and Company agree that any claim, dispute or controversy at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between you and us, including claims or disputes that arise out of or are related to the Services or these Terms, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration or in small claims court (if the claim is within the jurisdiction of a small claims court). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. Before bringing any dispute or claim to arbitration, each party must first send to the other party a Notice of Dispute.  You can send this Notice of Dispute by certified mail to our address at: 548 Market St #86774 94104-5401, San Francisco, California, and Company will send this notice to you via certified mail to the address Company has on file. If we are unable to resolve the claim or dispute within 60 days after the notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding by sending a Demand for Arbitration as provided below.  The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, and the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules shall apply.  A form for initiating arbitration proceedings, procedures for sending a Demand for Arbitration, and more information about AAA’s rules, are available on the AAA’s website at www.adr.org.  Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.  In the event that the AAA is not available or unwilling to administer the arbitration, then parties agree to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that the parties agree. We will pay arbitration costs required by the administrator’s rules or that are necessary for this Arbitration section to be enforced. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
       
    2. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the Service for personal, commercial or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and not in favor of any other Company customers or third parties. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or another representative proceeding of any kind.
    3. Opt-Out. You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate by mailing us a written opt-out notice to our address at: 548 Market St #86774 ,94104-5401, San Francisco, California. If you opt-out, then a court will resolve any dispute or claim.  Your opt-out notice must be mailed no later than 30 days after you first accept these Terms or we first provided you with your right to reject this Arbitration section. This procedure is the only way you can opt-out of the agreement to arbitrate. Rejecting the Arbitration provisions has no effect on any other provisions of these Terms or any prior or future arbitration agreement or dispute resolution provisions between you and Company which will remain in full force and effect.  If you do not reject this Arbitration section, it will be effective as of the date of your acceptance of these Terms and will supersede any prior arbitration agreement between you and Company that would otherwise be applicable.
