These Terms of Service are applicable only to visitors, users, vendors, customers, merchants, and others, who currently reside in or select a shipping address in the United States or who access the Sites from the United States (“you” or “your”).

If you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms of Service on your behalf and you may register an account or shop on the Sites with permission from your parent or legal guardian. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230(d) as amended, we hereby notify you that parental control predictions are commercially available and may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. Please print and retain a copy for your records. We may, from time to time, modify these Terms of Service. When we make changes, we will post the revised Terms of Service on the Websites. Your use of the Sites following any such modification constitutes your agreement to the modified Terms of Service, except as otherwise provided. You should visit this page frequently to learn about any changes to these Terms of Service.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, OR ANY CHANGE THAT WE MAY SUBSEQUENTLY MAKE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP ACCESSING THE SITES AND DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY MEDIK8.

3. Acceptable Use of the Sites

  • send unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or commercial communications, such as spam;
  • engage in spidering or harvesting, or participate in the use of software, including spyware, computer virus, Trojan horse, worm, keystroke logger, rootkit or other malicious computer software designed to collect data from the Sites;
  • transmit any viruses or other computer instructions or technological means whose purpose is to disrupt, damage, or interfere with the use of computers or related systems;
  • stalk, harass, or harm another individual;

13. Return Policy

When we are offering a 30-day Promotional Return Policy (as defined below), such policy will be displayed on the product pages on the Sites with the message “Easy 30-Day Returns.” Otherwise, the Standard Return Policy (as defined below) shall apply.

Promotional Return Policy. Purchase direct from Medik8 with confidence, and definitely no hassle. If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, we simply ask that you return any product to us at least half-full within 30 days after purchase. We ask that you follow the instructions on the product returns page, which may change from time-to-time but will always involve a reasonable requirement to obtain authorization from us for making a return. Please check the returns page before placing an order with us to ensure that you are satisfied with our return policy. Please remember, when returning any kit item (including any custom CSA kits), you must return the entire set. You will then receive a full product refund (to the same payment method used for purchase) or product exchange depending on your preference. After we, or our service provider, receive back your return, we will promptly issue you with a refund in accordance with the details on the returns page at the time you place your order (“Promotional Return Policy”).

We reserve the right to amend or cancel this Promotional Return Policy at any time at our sole discretion.

Standard Return Policy. Any returned item must be unopened and unused and in the state you received them, and in their original packaging with any paperwork. Returns will be processed within two (2) to three (3) weeks of receiving them. If you request a refund, we will refund the purchase price and any applicable taxes to the credit or debit card or other payment method with which you made your initial purchase. Please note that the items purchased during a sale or from our sale page are not eligible for any return or exchange. We reserve the right to refuse any return that does not meet our return requirements (“Standard Returns Policy”).

14. Accessibility

Medik8 is committed to providing the best user experience for everyone, including users with disabilities. To fulfill this promise, on the Websites, we aim to adhere as closely as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us provide the Websites in a manner that is accessible to all people.

Your feedback is welcome. If you have any questions about our accessibility features, please contact us:

• Email: hello (at) medik8.us

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (“Arbitration Agreement”)

Scope of the Arbitration Agreement. Mindful of the high cost of legal disputes, not only in dollars but in time and energy, both you and Medik8 agree that any legal dispute between you and Medik8 concerning or arising in any way out of a purchase from the Sites, any communications between you and Medik8, or your participation in any other program or service provided by Medik8 shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration unless you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement using the process explained below. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE OR GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. However, either you or Medik8 may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. The term “dispute” means any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between you and Medik8 whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

Informal Dispute Resolution. Either party asserting a dispute shall first try in good faith to resolve it by providing written notice as specified below to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Notice shall be made by first class or registered mail (1) to Medik8, Attention: Legal Department, 730 Centennial Park, Elstree, Hertfordshire, WD6 3SZ, United Kingdom or (2) to you at the billing address on file with Medik8. Both you and Medik8 agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent, which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.

Right to Opt Out of this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the first 30 days after the earliest of the first time you (a) make a purchase from the Sites; or (b) create an account or otherwise sign up for any program or service provided by Medik8. You may also opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after we notify you regarding a material change to this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out by sending an email to Medik8 to hello (at) medik8.us or by sending a letter to Medik8, Attention: Legal Department, 730 Centennial Park, Elstree, Hertfordshire, WD6 3SZ, United Kingdom. You should include your printed name, mailing address, and the words “Reject Arbitration.”

How Arbitration Works. Either party may initiate arbitration, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, the parties shall agree to, or the court shall select, another arbitration provider. Unless you and Medik8 agree to conduct arbitration by teleconference, videoconference, or otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Except for a Dispute determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous or initiated in bad faith, Medik8 will pay all filing, administrative, arbitrator and hearing costs up to a total amount of $5,000 and waives any rights it may have to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses against you.

Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims. All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. YOU AND MEDIK8 ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN YOUR OR THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND IN SO DOING YOU AND MEDIK8 HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION, ANY PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LAWSUIT OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION, AND ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, including public injunctive relief. If a court decides that the limitations of this particular paragraph regarding class action waiver are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.

Governing Law and Other Terms. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of this Arbitration Agreement, or to any disputes and claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the state of your residence (determined by your billing address on filed with Medik8) will govern. Medik8 will provide notice of any material changes to this Arbitration Agreement. Except as set forth above with respect to the class action waiver, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. Only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of the Arbitration Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, the parties agree that any issue concerning the validity of the class action/representative waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of the waiver. This Arbitration Agreement survives the end of the relationship between you and Medik8, including, without limitation, termination of your membership or participation in any Medik8 loyalty program or contest or promotion, cancellation or deletion of your Medik8 account, opt out of marketing, or end of participation in any Medik8 program or service.
