If you are dissatisfied with one of our Products for any reason, email we@byhumankind.com explaining your dissatisfaction within Thirty (30) days of the date the product was shipped. By Humankind, Inc. will provide product return information within three (3) business days of email receipt. All return requests must be made within thirty (30) days of the date of shipment by By Humankind, Inc. Promptly following By Humankind Inc.'s receipt of your returned product (typically within three (3) business days), By Humankind, Inc. will credit the amount paid for the returned Product (less any shipping and handling costs/fees related to the original purchase, which are non-refundable) to the Payment Method you used to make the original purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, By Humankind, Inc. does not control when a specific credit card or payment method company processes a chargeback transaction. You are responsible for contacting your credit card or payment method company if you have questions about the status of the chargeback.

    By Humankind, Inc. will not provide a refund for a request that is received by By Humankind, Inc. more than thirty (30) days after the date of original shipment. By Humankind, Inc. also does not provide a refund for returned Products that are damaged due to misuse, lack of care, mishandling, accident, abuse or other abnormal use.

22. Security. This website takes precautions to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information when processing a transaction on the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our log in/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers becomes locked (as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’). While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take measures to protect user information off-line. Because our website is an extension of By Humankind, the store and online inventory and customer databases are linked. However, we do not store credit card numbers from online transactions and, at log in, users are offered the option of not having their billing or shipping address details stored in our customer database. If such an option is exercised, those details will remain only on the customer order form, which is necessary to track customer orders. Access to the customer database is limited to those employees with a need to perform specific functions (such as shipping, order transaction, customer service, billing) and each access is password protected. All email communication regarding sales orders will refer to credit card numbers only by their final four digits.

23. Subscriptions. MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL FEES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOUR CARD ON FILE EACH MONTH. By Humankind, Inc. will automatically renew your Membership on each monthly anniversary date of the Membership (or bi-monthly, or third month anniversary date, depending on the subscription selections you make) and, as authorized by you by checking the box demonstrating your consent for automatic monthly renewal of your Membership during the sign-up process, we will charge your Payment Method with the applicable Membership fee and any shipping and handling costs and sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your Membership fee payments. Each Membership renewal period is for one month.

24. Membership cancellation. You may cancel your Membership at any time by logging on to your account page within byhumankind.com. To cancel a membership, please log in to your account on the Site and follow instructions towards cancellation. Cancellation requests must be received at least one full calendar day prior to your next shipping date to avoid being charged for that shipment. Cancellation requests received after that shall take effect the following month. Cancellation requests received through other channels may take up to three (3) business days to process. If you have any problems, please email we@byhumankind.com. By Humaknind, Inc. requires a reasonable amount of time to process your Membership cancellation request. If you cancel your Membership, you will enjoy your Membership benefits until the end of the then-current Membership term, and your Membership benefits will expire at the end of the then-current Membership term for which you have paid. You will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Membership fees paid for any unused days of the then-current Membership term. 

25. No Legal Effect: The paragraph titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
