Payment and Cancellation

8.3 Our free trials convert on the last day of your trial (for example, a two week trial converts on the fourteenth (14) day of your trial) to a recurring periodic monthly subscription (which is billed every 28 or 30 days, depending on the product). If you do not wish to be enrolled into a monthly subscription, you can cancel your account at any time up to the last day of your free trial. You can cancel your account by following the steps at clause 8.5 below.

8.4 By subscribing to Vitl you are agreeing to pay recurring periodic subscriptions for an indefinite time until your account is cancelled by you or us. The price for this subscription is as set out on our site, and App.

8.5 To cancel your subscription, please follow these steps:

The 'pause' will be activated when you click the 'Pause' button, and will restart at the end of the paused period (maximum 21 weeks). If you do not manually restart your subscription by logging into your account before the end of the pause period, your subscription will automatically restart. If you wish to cancel your subscription entirely, you can do so at any time by following the steps at clause 8.5 above.

8.7 We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, not to renew your subscription at any time without giving any reasons for our decision.

8.8 Depending on your use of our Services, you may be asked if you would like to update your supplement pack. By indicating that you would like your pack to be updated, you agree that Vitl will stop sending you the previous pack of supplements and will instead start sending you the new, updated pack. This only applies to packs that have not already been dispatched.

8.9 Notwithstanding clause 9.1, our refunds policy applies only to the most recent order you have made. Previous or historic orders will only be refunded at our entire discretion.

Offers and promotion codes

8.10 Any promotion code or offer provided on our Site and App cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion (current or historical) and may be subject to additional terms and conditions (such as expiry date/time) which will be shared at the point of publication and are subject to availability.

8.11 Each promotion code or offer may be used only once per customer. If more than one customer is registered at the same delivery address our promotion code or offer may only be used by one customer registered to that address (on a one per household basis).

8.12 If it is found that more than one promotion code or offer has been used by the same customer or more than once per household: (1) only one product will be dispatched and the other orders cancelled. In such instances, we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible and refund you for any charges that may have been incurred on purchase; (2) if we suspect that you have used different email addresses or delivery addresses to get around this system, we may decide to count this as fraudulent activity; (3) for any order which has already been dispatched and, in our reasonable discretion, is deemed to be fraudulent, we reserve the right to charge the Product's Recommended Retail Price (per fraudulent order, without the promotional discount), and any other reasonable charges which we may incur.

8.13 We reserve the right to withdraw or terminate any of our promotion codes or offers at any time. On withdrawal or termination, the promotion codes or offers may not be used for any orders placed after the date of such withdrawal or termination. We reserve the right to reject the use of any promotion codes or offers where fraud is suspected.

8.14 On rare occasions, our promotion codes may calculate incorrectly and therefore are incorrectly applied to your basket at checkout. In this event, we shall notify you as soon as we become aware, but in any event prior to your Products being dispatched, and reserve the right to cancel the order. Should this occur, you shall be given the option to cancel or amend your order in line with how the promotion code should have been correctly applied.

Referral

8.15 * Our refer a friend scheme is managed by MentionMe who will process your data and send you referral service emails. Please ensure that you read and understand their Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. This scheme is a genuine offer to reward our customers for introducing Vitl to friends and family. Unfortunately, there will always be people that take advantage of and abuse that generosity, so there are a few parameters around our referral scheme:

8.15.1 You will only receive referral credit when your friends and family sign up for a free trial and enter a valid email address. Your referral credit will be automatically applied to your account and can only be redeemed against subscription Products.

8.15.2 Referral credit is limited to £/$/€ 60.00. Any amount credited over this figure is entirely at our discretion.

8.15.3 Referrals cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers.

8.15.4 Our referral scheme is entirely at our discretion and can be altered or withdrawn at any time.

8.15.5 You may refer a maximum of one person per household. If your referral exceeds this limit, we may decide to count this as a fraudulent referral.

8.15.6 You cannot refer yourself - if we suspect that you have used different email addresses or delivery addresses to get around this system, we may decide to count this as a fraudulent referral. For any referral which we deem to be fraudulent, we reserve the right to cancel the referred transaction, and to refuse to credit your existing account with any referral credit.

8.15.7 When sharing your referral with friends and family, you may not mimic or misrepresent Vitl or otherwise mislead people to believe that they are dealing with Vitl, one of our agents or affiliates.

If you do not follow these instructions, a defective or partial test result may occur. We may, at our discretion, give you the opportunity of re-testing free of charge if a partial result is reported by the Laboratory.
