THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (REFERRED TO AS, “TERMS” AS CONTEXT MAY REQUIRE) REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

YOU MAY NOT ORDER OR OBTAIN PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THIS SITE IF YOU (A) DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, (B) ARE NOT THE OLDER OF (i) AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE OR (ii) LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH IL HEALTH & BEAUTY NATURAL OILS CO., INC.

These Terms are subject to change by HBNO without prior written notice at any time, in HBNO’s sole discretion. Any changes to the Terms will be in effect as of the "Last Updated Date" referenced on the Site. You should review these Terms prior to purchasing any Product or services that are available through this Site. Your continued use of this Site after the "Last Updated Date" will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

These Terms apply generally to the use of HBNO’s Site. You should also carefully review HBNO’s Privacy Policy before placing an order for Products or services through this Site.

2. Order Acceptance and Cancellation

Your electronic order confirmation, or any form of confirmation, does not signify HBNO’s acceptance of your order. You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all Products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by HBNO, or HBNO will not be obligated to sell the Products or services to you. HBNO may choose not to accept orders at HBNO’s sole discretion, even after HBNO sends you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered. HBNO reserves the right to require additional information before processing any order. If an order appears fraudulent in any way, HBNO reserves the right to cancel the order, notify the card holder and the proper authorities. HBNO may discontinue selling any Product at any time without notice or approval from you.

3. Samples

You may request pre-ship samples (“Samples”) separately in addition to the quantities set forth in your order. You acknowledge that the Products provided by HBNO are sold “as is” and that you have not been induced by any statements or representations of any person with respect to the quality or condition of the Products and that no such statements or representations have been made. You are given the opportunity to inspect the Samples and notify HBNO if you will accept the Products in accordance with the Samples.

4. Packaging, Enclosures, Marking

You shall be responsible for the cost and expense of obtaining and using specific packaging or coding requested for any Products, as well as bear any liability with respect to the packaging.

5. Prices and Payment Terms

(a) All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Site are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a Product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include federal, state or local taxes, duties applicable to the provision of the Products or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. HBNO strives to display accurate price information, however HBNO may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. HBNO reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.

(b) HBNO may offer from time-to-time promotions on the Site that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

(c) Terms of payment are within HBNO’s sole discretion and payment must be received by HBNO before HBNO’s acceptance of an order. HBNO accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, and wire transfer for all purchases. The billing address and shipping address must match for any purchases via credit card. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to HBNO is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Site at the time of your order. You agree to pay HBNO all costs associated with receipt of wires.

6. Shipment, Delivery and Title

Unless otherwise stated on a specific product’s ordering page through this Site, HBNO offers free shipping on orders valued $100 or more within the lower 48 United States (i.e., excluding Alaska, Hawaii, United States territories and possessions and international shipments). For orders with free shipping, HBNO shall replace Products of such orders that are damaged while in transit. This policy is not applicable to orders lower than $100 which do not qualify for free shipping.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Order Form, confirmation or invoice (interchangeably referred to as “Invoice”), or these Terms, shipment of all Products shall be pursuant to Incoterms 2010. Title and risk of loss will transfer to you upon shipping. Shipping dates are based on conditions at the time of quotation and are subject to changes at the time the order is placed. All reasonable efforts will be made to fill orders within the time promised. In no event will HBNO be made to fill orders within the time promised. In no event will HBNO be liable for any consequential damages for delay in performance or failure to perform. In the absence of your instructions, HBNO will use its own discretion in choice of carrier. HBNO assumes no responsibility for loss or damage during shipment. All shipping risks are assumed and accepted by you. Because many instances may occur at your delivery address that are beyond HBNO’s control, you agree that any delivery confirmation provided by the carrier is deemed sufficient proof of delivery to the cardholder, even without a signature.

7. Insurance

Except for orders that qualify for free shipping, you shall maintain any and all insurance on the Products allocated by HBNO for shipment under this Agreement for not less than the value of the confirmed order, including all charges therein and any freight not included in the order confirmation covering against “All Risks”, providing coverage for all time in shipment from the time the Products are shipped until they are received by you.

8. Returns and Refunds

HBNO will accept a return of unopened Products for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs provided such return is made within 30 days of delivery with valid proof of purchase and provided such Products are returned in their original condition. To return Products, you must call (530) 399-3782 to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization ("RMA") number before shipping your Product. No returns of any type will be accepted without an RMA number.

You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. HBNO therefore strongly recommends 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.

Refunds are processed within approximately 10 business days of HBNO’s receipt of your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Site. HBNO OFFERS NO REFUNDS ON ANY PRODUCTS DESIGNATED ON THIS SITE AS NON-RETURNABLE.

9. Inspection; Nonconforming Goods

Once a Product is opened, a return may only be made if such Product is deemed a Nonconforming Good. You shall inspect Products received under this Agreement within ten (10) days of receipt of such Products (”Inspection Period”) and may reject any Nonconforming Goods discovered during the Inspection Period. You will be deemed to have accepted Products unless you provide HBNO with written Notice of any Nonconforming Goods within five (5) days following the Inspection Period, stating with specificity all defects and nonconformities, and furnishing such other written evidence or other documentation as may be reasonably required by HBNO (including the subject Products, or a representative Sample thereof, which you may contend are Nonconforming Goods). All defects and nonconformities that are not so specified will be deemed waived by you, such Products shall be deemed to have been accepted by you, and no attempted revocation of acceptance will be effective.

If you timely notify HBNO of any Nonconforming Goods, HBNO shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether the Products are Nonconforming Goods. If HBNO determines that such Products are Nonconforming Goods, HBNO shall, in its sole discretion, either:

(a) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Products; or

(b) refund to you the amount paid by you to HBNO for such Nonconforming Goods returned by you to HBNO. You shall ship, at your expense and risk of loss, all Nonconforming Goods to HBNO’s facility located in Chico, California or to such other location as HBNO may instruct you in writing. If HBNO exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, HBNO shall ship to your delivery location, at HBNO’s expense and risk of loss, the replacement Products.

THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE DELIVERY OF NONCONFORMING GOODS.

20. Force Majeure

HBNO will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in HBNO’s performance under these Terms when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond HBNO’s 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 HBNO’s 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.

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 HBNO ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

(The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med 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 is 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.

(c) You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR HBNO 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.

24. Assignment

You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.

25. No Waivers
