Products purchased by you must be for personal use and may not be re-sold or used for commercial purposes or for any other commercial benefit.  In addition, Metagenics reserves the right to restrict multiple quantities of a Product from being shipped to any one customer or postal address.  Metagenics attempts to be as accurate as possible in its Product descriptions.  However, Metagenics does not warrant that Product descriptions or any content or messaging on the Web Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.  If a Product offered by Metagenics is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition consistent with the Return Section.

Purchases

You may purchase Products on the Web Site or through a Practitioner Platform.  If your Practitioner has a Practitioner Platform, you may use the practitioner code provided to you by your Practitioner and purchase through the Practitioner Platform.  Any purchase of Products through a Practitioner Platform is a separate transaction between you and your Practitioner.  Metagenics is not responsible for the acts or omissions associated with any Practitioner Platform.

When placing an Order through the Web Site, you must follow the instructions on the Web Site as to how to place your Order and for making changes to your Order before you submit it through the Web Site.  The purchase of Products on this Web Site is subject to availability.  When you submit an Order, you agree that you are expressly subject to these Terms of Use at the date you submitted the Order.  You are responsible for reviewing the latest Terms of Use each time you submit an Order.

Once you place an Order, you will receive an e-mail acknowledging the details of your Order, including a reference number for your Order.  The acknowledgement may contain an estimated shipping or delivery time as well as other relevant information as deemed necessary and appropriate by Metagenics.

All Orders are subject to the Satisfaction Guarantee Policy.  For more information, please see our Satisfaction Guarantee Policy.

We may, in our discretion, refuse to accept an Order from you for any reason, including if (i) we are unable to obtain authorization for payment, (ii) shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, (iii) the Product(s) you order are out of stock or do not satisfy our quality control standards or are withdrawn or (iv) you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out in these Terms of Use.  We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any Product(s) from the Services, including, without limitation (x) the Product(s) having been sold, (y) removing, screening, or editing any materials or content on the Services, (z) refusing to process a transaction, or (w) unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

Payment & Billing

By providing a credit card or other payment method that our third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) accepts, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use your chosen payment method and that you authorize us (or the Payment Processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (together, as applicable, an “Order”).  If your payment method cannot be verified, is rejected, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled without further obligation from Metagenics.  It is your responsibility to resolve any problem we encounter with your payment to proceed with your Order.

Any additional payment terms presented or made known to you in association with your Order are deemed part of these Terms of Use.  You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our Payment Processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount.

We use the Payment Processor to bill you through a payment account to process payment for your Order.  The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms of Use.  We are not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor.  By choosing to complete your Order, you agree to pay Metagenics, through the Payment Processor, all charges associated with your Order, and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider.  We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that the Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment.

Coupons, Promotional Codes and Sweepstakes

Coupons and promotional codes may be provided to you and are for your individual use only.  You may not transfer, reproduce, trade, offer for sale, publish, or otherwise share coupons and promotional codes unless expressly allowed to do so.  Metagenics may cancel any order when it has reason to believe that any coupon or promotional code is being used by someone other than the intended recipient or in the case of suspected abuse, misuse, or fraud.  Metagenics reserves the right to terminate a coupon or promotional code offering at any time and/or set expiration dates for such offers at any time, in its sole discretion.  Coupon codes and promotional codes are not valid on prior purchases.

Any sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions (each, a "Promotion") that may be offered via the Web Site may be governed by a separate set of rules that may have eligibility requirements, such as certain age or geographic area restrictions, terms and conditions governing the Promotion, use of User Generated Content, and disclosures about how your personal information may be used.  It is your responsibility to read these rules to determine whether you want to and are eligible to participate, register and/or enter, and to determine the applicable terms and conditions of the Promotion.  By participating in a Promotion, you will be subject to those official rules, and you agree to comply with and abide by such rules and the decisions of the identified sponsor(s).

Sales Taxes

You are responsible for all sales, use, transaction, privilege, gross receipts, excise, or similar transaction taxes (together, “Sales Taxes”) related to any Products or other items you purchase.  Metagenics will typically collect Sales Tax at the time of sale and will either (1) remit Sales Taxes to the taxing authority directly or (2) remit the Sales Taxes to the Practitioners who will then remit Sales Taxes to the taxing authority.  However, you agree that Metagenics retains the right to collect subsequent payment from you of Sales Taxes, including if a taxing authority asserts that Sales Tax is due with respect to a Product for which no Sales Tax was originally collected or Sales Tax was under-collected by Metagenics.  You agree that you will not assert or participate in any class action against Metagenics related to Sales Taxes.

Shipping and Handling

You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you submit your Order.  We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add, or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time.  We will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you complete your Order.  Shipping is handled by a third-party carrier.  When you complete an Order, any shipping times shown on the Web Site are estimates only.  Actual delivery dates may vary.  In the case of inclement weather or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver your Order, we will attempt to deliver your Order as soon as reasonably possible.  You are responsible for inspecting your Order for any damage or other issues upon delivery.

Automatic Re-Orders (“AROs”)

Subscriptions are convenient, and they help you save both time and money.  Choosing the subscription program option will help ensure that you don’t run out of your supplements, as refills are automatically shipped to you at the frequency you select.

By entering into a subscription program, you request the supply of the selected Products by Metagenics in accordance with the subscription plan, at the frequency you have chosen, and you agree to these terms.

If you have an Account, you may choose from among the following frequencies:  monthly, once every 45 days, every two months, every three months, or on a specified billing date each month.  AROs may be easily modified online by logging into your Account, making your desired changes, and agreeing to any additional terms and conditions.  Subscriptions will continue until cancelled.  You must cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before your next Order is placed to avoid being charged.  If you choose to cancel or make changes when there are fewer than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled processing date, those changes may not be effective in time for the pending shipment.  To cancel, log in to your Account and go to Manage Subscriptions and then click cancel on the subscription you wish to cancel.

If you have any questions, including questions regarding how to cancel, please call Metagenics Customer Service at (800) 692-9400.
