Purchase Terms

These Purchase Terms are for the Sips by™ Subscription


ABOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION
  • Sips by offers an auto-renewing Month-to-Month Subscription, and auto-renewing prepaid 3-Month Subscriptions, 6-Month Subscriptions, and 12-Month Subscriptions with automatic rebillable renewal upon realization of the Full Subscription Term ("Monthly Subscription," "Subscription," "Prepaid Subscription," or "Sips by Box").
  • Full Subscription Term refers to the total number of months you elected in your original purchase (e.g. 1-month, 3-months, 6-months, or 12-months).
  • Residents who have created a Sips by account, ages 18 and over, or ages 13-17 with parental supervision, living in the 50 United States, and the District of Columbia ("United States") may subscribe to receive a monthly Sips by Box containing tea products. 
  • Subscription Box Contents: Sips by Boxes typically contain 4 tea items. The contents of each Sips by Box will vary from month to month. We customize your Sips by Box based on your profile, your product reviews, and other feedback you choose to provide to us, but we make no guarantees that you will receive a particular product.
  • You agree to allow Sips by to email you about your account, your profile, your Subscription, and occasional promotions related to your Subscription.
AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS
  • Once you subscribe, Sips by will immediately process your first subscription fee. Auto-renewal will take place as follows:
    • For orders placed after August 10th, 2018: Sips by will continue to automatically process your Subscription fee on the anniversary date of each month after you have received your Full Subscription Term (be that a 1-Month, 3-Month, 6-Month, or 12-Month term). Sips by may adjust this date +/-9 days in order to keep you in the same order fulfillment month given the manner in which holiday schedules and logistics unfold.
    •  For orders placed on or before August 10th, 2018: Sips by will continue to automatically process your Subscription fee on the 26th of each month after you have received your full Subscription term (be that 1-Month, 3-Month, 6-Month, or 12-Month).
  • Your auto-renewing subscription will be charged at the then-current Monthly Subscription rate, subject to terms of any corporate-approved promotional codes used, without further notice to you or authorization from you, until you cancel your subscription. We explain how to cancel your Subscription below.
  • By purchasing a Subscription, you agree to an initial and recurring Subscription fee at the then-current Subscription rate subject to the terms of any corporate-approved promotional codes used, and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.
  • You acknowledge that if you use a promotional code, the charges you incur are subject to these Purchase Terms and the terms of any promotional code you use.  For example, if you use a promotional code for 10% off your first month, you will be charged at a rate 10% off the then-current rate for your first month, and your subsequent auto-recurring charges will be at the non-discounted then-current rate for any month up until the point you skip or cancel your Subscription.
  • "Then-current Subscription Rate" is defined as the non-discounted Subscription Rate at the time of purchase.

CANCEL CUT-OFF DATE 

You can skip or cancel your auto-renewing Subscription on the schedule as follows:

  • For orders placed after August 10th, 2018: Cancel before the last order anniversary date you have received your Full Subscription Term (be that 1-Month, 3-Month, 6-Month, or 12-Month) to stop all recurring charges. For example, if your last order was on January 1st, and you have a 1-Month Subscription, cancel before February 1st. We explain how to skip or cancel your Subscription below. 
  • For orders placed on or before August 10th, 2018: Cancel by the 24th of the month to stop all recurring charges. We explain how to skip or cancel your Subscription below.
