  1. PAYMENT AND CANCELATION RIGHTS

Making a Purchase. Please refer to the applicable offer for a description of the products sold on our Site and pricing. Any terms and conditions of any offer disclosed to you when ordering are deemed part of these Terms. We reserve the right to change the fees for products and will provide notice of any increase prior to your being charged.

Orders. Any prices displayed on the Site are quoted in U.S. dollars and are intended to be valid and effective only in the United States. We will add shipping and handling fees and applicable sales/use tax in accordance with our then-current policies. All orders are for personal use only and orders for resale are prohibited.

No Binding Offer. Nothing on the Site constitutes a binding offer to sell, distribute or give away any products or services. In the event the products and services are listed at an incorrect price, we have the right to refuse or cancel orders placed at the incorrect price, regardless of whether the order has been confirmed or you have been charged. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline such order, or any portion thereof, or to not ship to particular addresses, even after your receipt of an order confirmation or after you have been charged. We also reserve the right at any time to limit the quantities ordered for you or your household. There may be information on the Site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, and availability. We make no representation as to whether information on the Site or Services is current or the completeness or accuracy of any information on the Site or Services.

Subscription And Recurring BillingYou will be charged for your subscription using the billing information you provide at the time of enrollment (your “Billing Account”). By purchasing a subscription, you authorize your Billing Account to be charged the fees then in effect for the subscription on a recurring basis without any further authorization from you. Your non-termination constitutes your authorization for your Billing Account to be charged in accordance with and at the frequency (e.g., annually) identified at the time of enrollment. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes contained in your Billing Account information and to update your Billing Account information from available third-party sources. The terms of your payment may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, debit/credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method (your “Payment Method Provider”). If Wellness Health Media does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, or we are advised of insufficient funds in your account or credit to cover your payment we may re-present such un-cleared or rejected payment, or the amount due in partial increments, to your Payment Method Provider. In the event we have to collect unpaid amounts you owe us, you will be liable for all collection costs, including attorneys’ and collection agency fees. In the event we cannot charge the payment method you provide, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel your subscription and invoice you for any unpaid amounts.

Free or Introductory Promotional Offer.  If you enrolled for a subscription under a special introductory offer (e.g., a free or discounted initial trial), you are subject to the terms of the offer you accepted and, unless you cancel within the time frame presented in the offer, the applicable regular charge for the Services you selected will be posted to your payment method after the introductory offer or trial period is completed. We reserve the right to limit any introductory or trial offer to one per person/household.

How to Cancel Auto-Renewal.  Our subscription plans are subject to automatic renewal and therefore you will be charged for the term you select on a recurring basis. You can cancel your subscription at any time to avoid future charges, or to receive a pro rata refund for an annual membership. To cancel any subscription and any corresponding charges go online to your account or contact customer service at customerservice@wellnessletteronline.com or call Member Support at 1-510-999-7850. Unless cancelled in the time frame provided, your subscription will be automatically renewed based on the term you accepted. The deadline for cancelation to avoid a future charge will be in your Manage Account details.

Cancelation rights.  YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WITHIN THE FIRST THREE DAYS AFTER YOU ACCEPT AN OFFER.

Billing Related Inquiries.  To change your payment method or for any other billing related inquiries, please contact customer service at customerservice@wellnessletteronline.com.

Current Billing Information Required.  You must promptly notify Wellness Health Media if your payment method is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft). If you fail to notify us, you remain responsible for any continued charges to the payment method you provided.

Change in Fees for Recurring Charges.  Wellness Health Media reserves the right to change the fees for subscription boxes and will provide no less than 30 days’ notice of any increase prior to your being charged the new rate.

  1. ARBITRATION / DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut without application of conflict of laws rules, except that these Arbitration provisions shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Resolution of Any Dispute.  In the event a dispute arises between you and Wellness Health Media (“Dispute”), we want to provide you with an efficient, neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by contacting us by writing to Wellness Health Media, LLC, 58 Westport Road, Wilton CT 06897. If, however, the Dispute cannot be resolved by the personnel directly involved, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute promptly by negotiation between duly appointed executive officers or other representatives of such parties, with full authority to negotiate and settle the Dispute. If a Dispute has not been resolved by negotiations within 90 days as provided hereinabove, such Dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor (collectively, “JAMS”), for mediation as provided hereinbelow. Any party involved in the Dispute may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and each other party involved in the Dispute a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from JAMS’ panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator and any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the parties; provided, however, that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. None of the parties may commence arbitration or a civil action with respect to the matters submitted to mediation until after the completion of the initial mediation session, or 30 business days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. Mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration or a civil action, if the parties so desire.

Limitation of Legal Remedies. If there is a Dispute that remains unresolved after mediation, INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU AND WELLNESS HEALTH MEDIA EACH AGREE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THE JAMS ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, WITHOUT CLASS RELIEF, EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES PERTAINING TO WELLNESS HEALTH MEDIA’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND STATUTORY CLAIMS THAT PURSUANT TO LAW ARE NOT ARBITRABLE. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory (“Claim(s)”). The arbitrator’s decision and award are final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq., and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND WELLNESS HEALTH MEDIA EACH VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SITE OR SERVICES.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WELLNESS HEALTH MEDIA EACH AGREE THAT CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. All arbitrations under these Terms must be conducted on an individual (and not a class-wide) basis, and an arbitrator will have no authority to award class-wide relief.  You acknowledge and agree that these Terms specifically prohibit you from commencing any legal proceedings as a representative of others, participating in a class, representative, or collective action as a class representative, class member or an opt-in party, acting as a private attorney general, or joining or consolidating Claims with claims or proceedings brought by any other person (“Class Action Waiver”).

Arbitration Procedures. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the Claim and setting forth the specific relief sought (“Notice”). All Notices to Wellness Health Media must be sent to the following address: Wellness Health Media, LLC, 58 Westport Road, Wilton CT 06897. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us but if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section. Upon receipt of such Notice, the receiving party will have a 60-day period in which it may satisfy the Claim against it by fully curing the Claim, providing all the relief requested in the Notice, or entering into a settlement to resolve the Claim to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. After the expiration of such 60-day cure period, you or Wellness Health Media may commence an arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise agreed to by you and Wellness Health Media in writing, the arbitration will be governed and conducted by JAMS before a single arbitrator with substantial experience in the internet industry and shall follow substantive law in adjudicating the Dispute. This Section shall be construed as a written agreement to arbitrate pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). You and Wellness Health Media agree that this Section satisfies the writing requirement of the FAA. The arbitration of any claim will be conducted in the State of Connecticut, and for any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $5,000.00, you shall have the choice as to whether the hearing is conducted in person or by telephone. Each party will pay the fees and costs of its own counsel, experts and witnesses. The JAMS rules are available on its website at www.jamsadr.com. To the extent that this dispute resolution Section conflicts with JAMS minimum standards for procedural fairness, the JAMS rules and/or minimum standards for arbitration procedures in that regard shall control. Neither party shall sue the other party other than as provided herein or for enforcement of this clause or for the arbitrator’s award; and any such suit may be brought only in Federal District Court or, if any such court lacks jurisdiction, in any state court that has jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, or enforceability of these Terms including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the clause entitled “Class Action Waiver”.

Exception to Arbitration. Only disputes or actions pertaining to Wellness Health Media LLC’s intellectual property rights, or statutory claims that pursuant to law are not arbitrable, are exempt from arbitration.

Survival. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

Severability. If any provision of this Section is declared or found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unlawful, unenforceable or void, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent that it is found unlawful, unenforceable or void, and the remainder of the provision and all other provisions will remain fully enforceable, except that if the Class Action Waiver for any Claim cannot be enforced, then the provision to arbitrate will not apply.  

  1. NO RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms and policies incorporated herein (“Policies”), are the entire agreement between you and Wellness Health Media. They supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and Wellness Health Media relating to your use of the Site or the Services. Wellness Health Media may assign these Terms in whole or in part, at any time. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of these Terms, all of which will remain in full force and effect. Headings in these Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of these Terms. The failure of Wellness Health Media to partially or fully exercise any rights or the waiver of Wellness Health Media of any breach of these Terms by you, shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right by Wellness Health Media or be deemed a waiver by Wellness Health Media of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. The rights and remedies of Wellness Health Media under these Terms, its Policies and any other applicable agreement between you and Wellness Health Media shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit Wellness Health Media’s right to exercise any other right or remedy.
