SECTION 4. TERMS OF SALE

1. SUBSCRIPTIONS
1. PLANS – Tea with Tae offers a subscription service where we offer various subscription plans for the recurring delivery of our Products (each purchase of any such plan, a “Subscription”) and may offer add-on or one-time Products for sale. Our Product offerings and available Subscription plans are described on our website and mobile application, as applicable, at the time of purchase, and are subject to change at any time prior to purchase.
2. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF SUBSCRIPTION – WHEN YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (A) TEA WITH TAE (OR OUR THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) IS AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE YOU ON THE SPECIFIED FREQUENCY (E.G., WEEKLY, MONTHLY, BI-MONTHLY, ETC.) FOR THE PRICE OF YOUR CHOSEN SUBSCRIPTION (IN ADDITION TO ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES SET FORTH DURING THE PURCHASE PROCESS) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, AND (B) YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE THE SUBSCRIPTION. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.1(c) BELOW. THE INITIAL RECURRING CHARGES FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE SET FORTH DURING THE PURCHASE PROCESS.

3. CANCELLATION POLICY – YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE ORDER INVOICE DATE BY EMAILING [email protected]. IF CANCELLATION OCCURS AFTER THE INVOICE DATE THE CANCELLATION REQUEST WILL BE PROCESSED FOR THE NEXT SCHEDULED INVOICE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHARGES (INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) INCURRED WITH RESPECT TO ANY ORDER PROCESSED PRIOR TO THE CANCELLATION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. You may also cancel your subscription by logging into your customer portal and clicking “Manage Subscriptions.” More information about managing subscriptions can be found on our FAQ page, which can be accessed here.
2. GIFTS – You may have the ability from time to time to purchase Subscriptions and/or one-time Products for other people through the Services (“Gifts”). Gifts are not refundable or redeemable for cash, unless required by applicable law. Gifts must be redeemed for purchases through the Services in accordance with our then-current procedures for redemption, which may require the recipient to create their own account and agree to these Terms in order to redeem the Gift. GIFTS THAT ARE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO THE AUTO RENEWAL TERMS IN 4.1.2 AND THE CANCELLATION POLICY IN 4.1.3.
3. PAYMENT AND BILLING INFORMATION – By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us (or our third party payment processors: Shopify, Stripe, and Square) to charge your payment method for all charges you incur for the purchase of any Subscriptions or other Products (including any applicable taxes and other charges, such as shipping and handling) (each such purchase, an “Order”). You are responsible for, and agree to pay, all such charges. If we or our third party payment processor(s) cannot obtain authorization for charges to your payment method or if any amounts you authorize us to charge to your payment method are reversed or charged back for any reason, we may, at our option, in addition to any other remedies: cancel or suspend any undelivered portion of your Orders, make second and/or subsequent attempts to charge your payment method, and/or use any other lawful means to collect payment on any outstanding amounts due to us. You will remain responsible to pay all applicable charges for all Orders. You agree to provide and keep current a valid payment method. However, your failure to do so shall not constitute cancellation of any Order. In the event you want to change or update payment information associated with your Tea with Tae account, you can do so at any time by logging into your customer portal and editing your payment information. More information about updating your payment information can be found on our FAQ page.
4. PRICING AND AVAILABILITY – All prices posted on this Site are in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. Any applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to change our Subscription and other Product offerings, and to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice; provided, however, that if we change the amounts or other charges associated with your then-current Subscription(s), we will provide advance notice of such changes. We will not, however, be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes prior to such changes becoming effective. The shipment of Products to you after our delivery of such notice will confirm your acceptance of such changes, unless you cancel your subscription(s) in accordance with the cancellation policy set forth in Sections 4.1(c). We are not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.
5. SUBSTITUTIONS – All of our Products are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order, to discontinue offering certain Products and to substitute Products (including, but not limited to, specific ingredients or entire shipments) without prior notice. We strive to provide you with high-quality Products, and given the perishable nature of certain Products and market conditions beyond our control, we may be required to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not satisfied with a substitution, please contact us at [email protected].
6. TAXES – We will collect applicable sales tax on Products shipped to the states for which we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If an item is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown at checkout may be adjusted. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.
7. SHIPPING AND HANDLING – You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you make your purchase. Generally, shipping is handled by the United States Postal Service (USPS), FedEx, and/or UPS, however we reserve the right to use other shipping couriers as needed. Actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain, or direct shipment of, a Product for export. Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the Products to the shipping courier.
8. DELIVERIES – You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery. In addition, you are solely responsible for determining the freshness of the Products you receive. If you have any reason to believe that any other Product in your delivery is not suitable for consumption, contact us at [email protected] (attaching photos of the item(s)) and discard the item(s). From the time the Products are transferred to the shipping courier from us, the condition and consumption of the Products are solely at your risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper and safe handling, preparation, storage, cooking, use and consumption of the Products following delivery. Failure to follow safe food handling practices and temperature recommendations may increase the risk of foodborne illness. In addition, pregnant women, young children, the elderly and individuals with compromised immune systems should follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recommendations on food consumption for at-risk groups, which can be found here. If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the courier will generally leave the package for you at your door. Our ingredients are individually packaged and labeled. For the Tea Bento Box, the ingredients are placed inside a reusable insulated tin cannister and tucked into a tin box that has a polyurethane liner to keep the contents protected. For our Tea Pouches, the ingredients are placed inside heat-sealed, food-grade pouches with a thickened bottom to increase load-bearing capacity. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery. 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. In the event of a courier delay, please inspect the contents carefully and email [email protected] immediately with any concerns (attaching photos for review). In some cases, delivery may occur prior to the scheduled delivery date. In the event that timely delivery of your Products is not feasible, we will cancel your delivery for the period so affected and issue you a credit or refund of the purchase price for that delivery.
9. NO RESALE – You are not permitted to resell or otherwise use the Products for commercial purposes.
10. RETURNS AND REFUNDS
1. Standard Return/Refund Policy
1. In order to maintain the integrity of our Products when we ship them to our customers, we are not able to accept returns.
2. If you are not completely satisfied with your Products for good reason, please contact [email protected] within seven (7) days of receipt. We will happily review you your order and any reported issues and offer an appropriate resolution which may include replacement of the Product in question, credit towards your next box, or a partial/full refund. Since we are not able to physically access the Product, we may ask that you provide photos of the Product label and damage reported.
3. We cannot guarantee the condition of the delivery if the address is incorrectly entered, if a change of address isn’t updated prior to the invoice (or subscription cutoff) date, if an address is altered while in transit, or if you are unable to retrieve the order on the guaranteed delivery date and did not notify us prior to the order being invoiced.
4. When placing your order, please enter your shipping address carefully to ensure accuracy and review your receipt/account for any errors. If you enter the shipping address incorrectly when the order is placed, please email [email protected] immediately for correction. Should your shipping address change, please update your address prior to the invoice date either via the customer portal or by writing to [email protected]. More information about updating your shipping address can be found on our FAQ page.
5. If your order is returned to us because of an incorrect address provided or refusal of delivery when shipped according to our terms and conditions, we must dispose of the contents and you will not be refunded. In the event an order is delivered late due to an incorrect address or if you are unable to retrieve on the delivery date without prior notification, you will not be refunded.
2. Return/Refund Policy for Cancelled Orders – You are liable for any orders placed or charges that incur prior to the cancellation request. If the request for cancellation is made after your order has invoiced, the request will be processed for the next scheduled invoice.
3. Return/Refund Policy for Courier Damages Products – While we would love every delivery to arrive on time and without issue, delays or damage can occur once the package is in transit via the courier (USPS/UPS/FedEx) that are out of our control due to weather, accidents, etc. In the event of damage caused by improper handling or late delivery, we are happy to file a claim and replace the shipment. We ask that you please email [email protected] within seven (7) days of receipt, provide a description of the damage, and a photo(s) of the order in the state it was received. Claim filing is time sensitive and photos are required in order to show proof of damage.
4. Return/Refund Policy or Damages Products (not courier related) – In the unlikely event of damage, we ask that you please email [email protected] within seven (7) days of receipt, provide a description of the damage, and a photo(s) of the order in the state it was received. We will happily review you your order and any reported issues and offer an appropriate resolution which may include replacement of the Product in question, credit towards your next box, or a partial/full refund. Since we aren’t able to physically access the Product, we may ask that you provide photos of the Product label and damage reported.

SECTION 14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF UNDER THESE TERMS. IN PARTICULAR, YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING CERTAIN DISPUTES BEFORE A JURY OR RESOLVE CERTAIN CLAIMS IN COURT OR AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS PROCEEDING.

1. BINDING ARBITRATION – You are agreeing to give up any rights to litigate claims in a court or before a jury, or to participate in a class action or representative action with respect to a claim. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also be unavailable or may be limited in arbitration. Any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether pre-existing, present or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive and equitable claims) between you and TWT arising out of or related to these Terms or the Sites, Content, or Products (each, a “Dispute”), will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration.
2. NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS – To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any Dispute is personal to you and that any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.
3. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT – You agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 14 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
4. NOTICE; INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION – You agree that you will notify TWT in writing of any Dispute or any small claims dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute or small claims dispute informally. Notice to TWT shall be sent to [email protected]. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your TWT account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute or small claims dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. If we cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute or small claims dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by TWT, then either you or TWT may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 14, commence an arbitration proceeding.
5. PROCESS – You agree that any Dispute or small claims dispute must be commenced or filed by you within one (1) year of the date the Dispute or small claims dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute or small claims dispute). You agree that (a) the arbitration will be conducted in Denver, Colorado, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which are explained in more detail in Section 14.7 below and hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of Colorado and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Colorado, City and County of Denver, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
6. AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATOR – As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA rules referenced in Sections 14.5 and 14.7, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of the scope of this arbitration agreement and whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
7. AAA RULES – The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 14. (The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
