Shipments; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss

We will arrange for shipment of the products to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options.  You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process.  Shipping and handling charges are reimbursement for the costs we incur in the processing, handling, packing, shipping, and delivery of your order.  Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based.  To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full dollar.   Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.  We are not liable for any delays in shipments. If item is backordered and we provide an estimated date of delivery, the date provided is only an estimate and cannot be guaranteed.

 

If you choose to purchase our products that are provided through a subscription basis, the delivery schedule options are outlined on the product page.

Unless we notify you otherwise, you may return any product purchased on our Sites within thirty (30) days of purchase for a full refund. In the event a longer return period for certain products is provided in the written documentation for certain products, we will honor the longer period for those products.  To initiate your return, you must contact our representative by email at [email protected] or by telephone at 888-824-8826.   Our representative will give you instructions on how to complete your return.

 

We are unable to grant refunds for digital subscription programs. However, if you cancel your subscription, we will cancel any scheduled future payments. To cancel your digital subscription program, you must contact our representative by email at [email protected] or by telephone at 888-824-8826. Other services we offer, such as Metabolic Optimization Coaching, may have specific terms and conditions.

In the event you have purchased a physical product, we will process the refund once we have received and processed the returned product. In both cases we will notify you via e-mail of your refund.  We will strive to issue a refund in the same form of payment originally used for the purchase within five (5) business days of our receiving your return. The time it takes for the credit to be posted to your account may vary.  If you have not received a refund within twenty-five (25) business days from the day you sent us your return, please e-mail us for further assistance. 

 

You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items.  You bear the risk of loss during shipment.  We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection.

Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

 

YOU AND MHN 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 US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO (A) YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE OR (B) YOUR USE OF THIS SITE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

 

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 Agreement. (The AAA Rules are available at www.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. 

 

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement are void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  We will be responsible for paying any individual consumer’s arbitration/arbitrator fees. If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.  

 

You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention do so within sixty (60) days of your purchase. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.

 

You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR MHN WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.  If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severed from this Agreement and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  

 

We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in our performance under this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to our workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.
