THESE TERMS INCLUDE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY (SEE SECTIONS 14 AND 15) AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF OUR AGREEMENT. PLEASE PRINT OR SAVE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS.

These terms govern your use of our website, including any sub-domains, affiliated websites and mobile applications (together, the "Website"). The Website is owned and operated by Melanin Roots ("Melanin Roots", "we", "our" and "us"). Please read the terms below carefully. We make the Website, and all the information, tools, products and services on it, available to you on the condition that you accept all of the terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here. By accessing or using the Website, or by placing an order through it, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to all of them, you may not use the Website in any way.

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THEY MEAN YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO A COURT HEARING, YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND YOUR RIGHT TO TAKE PART IN A CLASS ACTION. ARBITRATION IS MANDATORY AND IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ALL DISPUTES, EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 16 OR IF YOU OPT OUT. PLEASE READ THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS IN SECTION 16 CAREFULLY, WHICH ALSO EXPLAIN HOW TO OPT OUT.

You can read the current version of these terms at any time on this page. We may update, change or replace any part of them by posting the changes on our Website, and it is your responsibility to check this page from time to time. IF YOU KEEP USING OR ACCESSING THE WEBSITE AFTER CHANGES ARE POSTED, YOU ACCEPT THOSE CHANGES AND ARE BOUND BY THEM.

We may also take any other action we consider necessary and seek any remedies the law allows.

4. Products for personal use only

You agree that any product or service you buy from Melanin Roots through the Website is for your own personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to resell, redistribute, modify or export any product you order from the Website. Reselling our products outside authorized channels can change the product materially, which may affect its safety, its effectiveness, or our ability to honor warranties and guarantees. We may limit or refuse any order that, in our sole judgment, looks like it was placed by a dealer, reseller or distributor.

5. No medical advice; accuracy, completeness and timeliness of information

The material on the Website is for general information only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare provider. The statements on this Website have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Please talk to your healthcare provider before relying on any information provided by Melanin Roots.

We try to keep the information on our Website accurate and current, but it may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions about product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times and availability. We may correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and change or update information or cancel orders if any information on the Website or any related website is inaccurate, at any time and without notice, including after you have placed your order.

We try to show the colors and images of our products as accurately as we can, but we cannot guarantee that your screen will display any color accurately.

The Website may include some historical information. It is not current and is provided only for your reference. We may change the content of the Website at any time, but we are not obliged to update it. It is your responsibility to keep track of changes to the Website.

Melanin Roots does not guarantee that you will reach your health and wellness goals. Results vary and depend on factors unique to you, such as your age, health and genetics.

6. Changes to the Website and to prices

We may change or discontinue access to the Website, or any part or content of it, at any time and without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any change, suspension or discontinuation of access. Some products or services may be available only online through the Website. They may be limited in quantity and can be refunded, returned or exchanged only in line with our Shipping and Refund and Return policies.

Product descriptions and prices can change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. Any offer for a product or service on this Website is void where prohibited.

7. Payment

When you give us payment information, you confirm and agree that: (i) you are fully authorized to use that card or account; (ii) all the payment information you provide is complete and accurate; (iii) you are responsible for any payment card fees; and (iv) there are enough funds to pay the amounts due to us.

We and our third-party payment service providers may ask for, and receive, updated card details from your card issuer, such as a new card number or expiry date when your card has expired. If we receive updated details, we will update your account information to match. Your card issuer may let you opt out of sharing updated card information with vendors and payment service providers. If you want to opt out of your card's updating service, please contact your card issuer.

We are not responsible for any fees or charges your bank or card issuer applies. If your bank or card issuer reverses a charge to your card, we may bill you directly and seek payment by another method, including a mailed statement.

8. Order placement and acceptance

An electronic order confirmation, or any other kind of confirmation, does not mean we have accepted your order. We may accept or refuse to ship to anyone for any reason. If we refuse your order, we will refund you to your original form of payment. You understand and agree that we are not liable for any loss or damage that results from our refusal to provide you with any product or service. We may ask for additional information before we process any order.

9. Shipping

We ship only to addresses in the United States. You must give us an accurate shipping address and phone number. We are not responsible for late or missing shipments if you enter incorrect shipping details. If you realize you made a mistake in your order after submitting it, or you want to cancel an order before it has shipped, please contact Customer Support using the contact details on our Website as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to change or cancel your order as you ask.

10. Delivery confirmation

Many things can happen at a delivery address that are outside our control. You therefore agree that a delivery confirmation from the carrier is enough proof of delivery to the cardholder, even if no signature was collected.

11. Money-back guarantee

Melanin Roots offers a Money-Back Guarantee on certain purchases from your first order. If you ask for a refund within sixty (60) days of the date you received your order, you will get a full refund on the terms below. The Money-Back Guarantee is valid only for products bought directly from our Website. Purchases that do not qualify for the guarantee are covered by our Standard Refund and Return policy. If you claim a refund within the first sixty (60) days and later decide to buy another product, you will no longer be able to use this Money-Back Guarantee. To request a refund, contact us using the contact details on our Website.

Melanin Roots will refund the full purchase price on every approved refund. Refunds go back to the card or other payment method you used to place the order.

12. Standard return and refund policy

We want you to be completely happy with your experience, so we have made returns and exchanges easy. If you are unhappy with a product, or it arrives damaged, please see our detailed Refund and Return policy.

After our shipping department receives your return, it usually takes 1 to 2 business days to process your refund. Once a return has been processed, it can take up to 10 days to show on your account, depending on your financial institution.

This section applies to everyone who interacts with our social media presence, including comment sections, feeds and other parts of our presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn or any other third-party social media platform we may use (our "Social Media Presence").

The sites and platforms that host our Social Media Presence are not controlled by us and have their own privacy policies and terms of use.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

EXCEPT WHERE THE LAW PROHIBITS IT, THIS WEBSITE AND ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL OF THEM, ABOUT THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, THAT: (A) OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS, OR (B) THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, ARE DISCLAIMED.

15. Disclaimer of liabilities

EXCEPT WHERE THE LAW PROHIBITS IT, IN NO EVENT WILL MELANIN ROOTS, OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, FEES, COSTS OR CLAIMS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PRIVACY POLICY, THE PRODUCTS, OR THE USE OR ATTEMPTED USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY PRODUCT BY YOU OR BY A THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF MELANIN ROOTS HAS BEEN TOLD THAT SUCH DAMAGES, FEES, COSTS OR CLAIMS MIGHT OCCUR. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR THE COST OF OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS, AND ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THIS APPLIES NO MATTER HOW THE DAMAGES ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE. IF, DESPITE THE LIMITATIONS ABOVE, MELANIN ROOTS IS FOUND LIABLE ON ANY THEORY, ITS LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WILL BE LIMITED TO USD $500.00. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO ALL CLAIMS, WHETHER OR NOT MELANIN ROOTS KNEW OF, OR WAS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF, THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES OR CLAIMS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE EXCLUSIONS ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

16. Dispute resolution by mandatory binding arbitration and class action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND MELANIN ROOTS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, MELANIN ROOTS' PRIVACY POLICY OR TERMS OF SALE, MELANIN ROOTS' ADVERTISING OR MARKETING PRACTICES, OR MELANIN ROOTS' PRODUCTS OR SERVICES WILL BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING, FINAL AND CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR, ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") UNDER ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, AND THE ARBITRATOR IS BOUND BY ITS TERMS. THE ARBITRATOR HAS THE EXCLUSIVE AND SOLE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE WHETHER A DISPUTE OR CLAIM CAN BE ARBITRATED. THE ARBITRATOR WILL APPLY THE APPLICABLE SUBSTANTIVE LAW TO THE EXTENT CONSISTENT WITH THE FAA, AND MAY AWARD ANY REMEDY THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN AN INDIVIDUAL LAWSUIT UNDER THAT LAW, INCLUDING COMPENSATORY, STATUTORY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES, DECLARATORY, INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF (INCLUDING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF), AND ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS WHERE THE APPLICABLE SUBSTANTIVE LAW ALLOWS THEM. THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND MELANIN ROOTS, AND MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT MELANIN ROOTS' CONSENT. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT HEAR CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS, OR REQUESTS FOR RELIEF ON BEHALF OF OTHER PEOPLE. IF A COURT OR ARBITRATOR DECIDES THAT ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CANNOT BE ENFORCED FOR A PARTICULAR CLAIM FOR RELIEF OR REMEDY, THEN THAT CLAIM OR REMEDY (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM OR REMEDY) MUST BE BROUGHT IN COURT, AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS MUST BE ARBITRATED.

DESPITE ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE THAT MELANIN ROOTS MAY BRING A CLAIM AGAINST YOU IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE UNITED STATES FOR INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL MISAPPROPRIATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF MELANIN ROOTS' INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND YOU AGREE THAT VENUE IS PROPER AND THAT YOU ARE SUBJECT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THAT FORUM.

UNLESS YOU OPT OUT IN TIME, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO: (A) HAVE A COURT OR JURY DECIDE YOUR DISPUTE OR CLAIM; (B) OBTAIN INFORMATION BEFORE THE HEARING TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU COULD IN COURT; (C) TAKE PART IN A CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, WHETHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR CLASS OPPONENT; (D) ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION; OR (E) JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE YOUR DISPUTE OR CLAIM WITH THE DISPUTE OR CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON. OTHER RIGHTS YOU WOULD HAVE HAD IN COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE YOU PURCHASED A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THROUGH MELANIN ROOTS' WEBSITE. TO DO SO, CONTACT US USING THE CONTACT DETAILS ON OUR WEBSITE, STATING YOUR NAME, THE PRODUCT YOU PURCHASED AND THAT YOU INTEND TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION.

17. Indemnification

To the fullest extent the law allows, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Melanin Roots, its parent, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and affiliates, and their respective partners, officers, directors, agents, representatives, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, from and against all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, demands and costs of any kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise out of, result from or are connected in any way with: (1) your breach of these terms, the documents they incorporate by reference, or this Agreement; (2) your breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement; or (3) your violation of any law or of the rights of a third party.
