Welcome to MEDIFOOD.IO! 

Our mission is to bring fresh, nutritious, and affordable food to people everywhere at a scale that creates positive and lasting impact. We operate the websiteç where users can purchase produce, packaged goods, other food items, merchandise, any other items we offer for sale, and all related services and promotions (collectively, “Products”). Products are made available through weekly or biweekly subscription boxes and optional add-ons to subscription boxes. We use the word “Website” in these Terms of Service to refer to any and all websites owned or operated by MEDIFOOD.IO (including the websites currently located at MEDIFOOD.IO) through which access to our Products are available. References to the \”Website\” include any and all related features, functionality, tools, and content. Our provision of the Website and sale and delivery of Products are collectively referred to herein as the “Services.” As used in these Terms of Service, the terms “MEDIFOOD.IO,” “we” and “us” refer to MEDIFOOD.IO

Please read these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and all other policies, terms, rules, and notices on our Website (collectively, the “Terms”) carefully, because they contain terms and conditions that impact your rights, obligations, and remedies in connection with your use of the Website and Products. As a condition to your access to or use of the Website and purchase of any Products, you consent to be bound by the Terms, so please do not use the Website or purchase Products if you do not agree with all of the Terms. Your use of the Website and purchase of any Products, and our provision thereof to you, constitutes an agreement between you and MEDIFOOD.IO to be bound by each of the terms, guidelines, and rules incorporated into the Terms. Because the Terms are legally binding, we want to make sure you understand them, so if you have any questions, click here

THESE TERMS PROVIDE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND MEDIFOOD.IO RELATING TO THE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE TERMS, EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOUR CLAIMS CANNOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ACTION. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 17 (“DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION”) FOR THE DETAILS REGARDING YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTES WITH MEDIFOOD.IO.

It\’s really important that you read and understand these Terms, so to encourage you to read to the end, we\’ve hidden one of our favorite recipes. 🙂

 

1. An Important Note About Food Safety and Allergens

You are solely responsible for, and assume all risks related to, the proper and safe washing, handling, preparation, storage, cooking, use, and consumption of the Products. We cannot currently accommodate any modification due to allergies, and thus do not guarantee that your order will be free from any allergens. You are solely responsible for knowing about and monitoring any food allergies you may have, and handling, preparing, using, and consuming any Products accordingly. We cannot guarantee that cross-contamination will not occur between Products.  

We attempt to display accurate images of the Products on the Website; however, we do not guarantee the accuracy of such materials and information. The appearance, color, size, condition, and other characteristics of each Product will vary from product to product. Images on the Website are examples only.

 

2. Amendment of The Terms

We regularly review the Terms to make sure they accurately reflect our business operations. As such, MEDIFOOD.IO reserves the right to amend the Terms, at any time and without prior notice, including to change, modify, add to, update or remove terms and conditions (collectively “amend” or “update”).  If we choose to amend the Terms, we will update the Effective Date at the top of the Terms and post the updated version. We may also, at our option, choose to notify you by email or another means. By continuing to use the Website after we have posted an updated version of the Terms or otherwise notified you of an update, you are affirming that you agree to be bound by the amended Terms.

MEDIFOOD.IO reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or discontinue offering the Website and/or Products, in whole or in part, or any features, functionality, tools or content thereof, at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice to you. We also retain the right to impose limits on your use and storage of Website content at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.

You agree that MEDIFOOD.IO has no obligation to provide any updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features, functionality, tools or content, and will not be liable with respect to any such modifications, discontinuance or deletions.

 

4. Your Account

  1. Account registration. While the Website is publicly available, you must register for a user account before you are able to access certain areas of the Website or order Products or sign up for a subscription. You may register for an account directly via the Website.

You may not register for an account on behalf of any person (other than yourself). No person or entity may have more than one active account at any given time.

  1. Account set-up. Your account and account profile page will be created based upon the information you provide to us. In order for us to provide you with the best service possible service, you agree to provide complete, accurate and up-to-date information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary to ensure that it remains complete, accurate and up-to-date.

When you create your account, you will be asked to create a password, which you will be solely responsible for safeguarding. We encourage you to use a strong password (passwords that use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols).  

You should not disclose your username or password to any third party, and you agree to immediately notify MEDIFOOD.IO of any unauthorized use of your account. You will be solely responsible for any activities or actions on or through your account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions.

  1. Account suspension and deactivation. We may, in our discretion, with or without prior notice and at any time, decide to limit, suspend, deactivate or cancel your account and take technical and legal steps to prevent you from using our Website at any time for any reason. We may do this if you create more than one account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter is determined to be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, deceptive or fraudulent.

We reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a prolonged period of time. Any discount, referral, or coupon codes associated with such accounts will be deactivated.  We also reserve the right to cancel accounts of users who fail to comply with the Terms, including the terms and conditions regarding user conduct, as set forth in the “User Conduct Guidelines” section below and elsewhere in the Terms.

If your account is deactivated or suspended, MEDIFOOD.IO will have the right, but not the obligation to delete your information.

If MEDIFOOD.IO has suspended your account due to your actual or suspected breach of the Terms, such suspension will continue until the suspected breach is cured or otherwise resolved to MEDIFOOD.IO’s reasonable satisfaction.

 

5. Subscriptions and Cancellation 

If you purchase a subscription, MEDIFOOD.IO will automatically charge the credit card or payment account associated with your account on the billing dates listed under “Upcoming Orders” in the Manage Your Subscription section of your account page.  

You agree to pay the subscription fee at the rates and frequency in effect when the charges are incurred, including any applicable taxes and shipping charges. Any change in the subscription fee will go into effect on the next billing date after we provide notice of the change.

When you register for a subscription, you expressly acknowledge and agree that (a) MEDIFOOD.IO (or our third-party payment processor) is authorized to charge you on a weekly (or biweekly, as applicable) basis for your subscription (in addition to any applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other charges) for the duration of your subscription, (b) the amount you are charged and the number and size of the Products you receive each delivery cycle may vary, and (c) your subscription is continuous until you cancel it or we suspend or stop providing access to the Website or Products in accordance with the Terms.  

You may cancel or pause your subscription up to 48 hours prior to your next billing date by clicking CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION or PAUSE SUBSCRIPTION in the Manage Your Subscription section of your account page or by clicking here to request a pause or cancellation of the subscription.

If you need to skip a box, instead of pausing your subscription, you can instead elect to donate your box to a food bank. If you choose this option, you will be charged your regular subscription fee (except that you will not be charged for any shipping costs), and MEDIFOOD.IO will donate the amount of produce you would have received to a food bank. Electing to donate your box is not considered a tax-deductible charitable contribution.  

6. Prices and Payment

  1. Prices. You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, the particular Products in each delivery, changes you make to your subscription, or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third party-payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice. The shipment of Products to you after our delivery of such notice will confirm your acceptance of such changes, unless you cancel your subscription.  
  2. Payment and credit cards. You are responsible for providing MEDIFOOD.IO with valid credit card or payment account details and for the timely payment of all fees.  

Please note that the payment information, including name and contact information, that you submit when you register may be used and shared with our payment processing services provider and otherwise used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

If you wish to designate a different credit card or payment account, or if there is a change in your credit card or payment account status, you must change your information in your account.  Doing so may temporarily disrupt your access to your account while MEDIFOOD.IO verifies your new payment information. Any change in the chosen payment method will go into effect for the next billing date. 

  1. Default. If MEDIFOOD.IO is unable to successfully charge your credit card or payment account for fees due, we reserve the right to restrict, suspend access to, or terminate your account. 

 

7. Products, Orders, and Refunds

A reference to a Product on the Website does not imply or guarantee that it is or will be available at the time of your order. 

We attempt to display images of the Products on the Website as accurately as possible. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of such materials and information. The appearance, color, size, condition and other characteristics of each Product will vary from product to product. Images available on the Website are examples only.

All of our Products are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order, to discontinue offering certain Products and to substitute Products without prior notice. You can pause your subscription up to 48 hours prior to your next billing date, as explained above. You can request changes to your order up to 48 hours prior to your next billing date and MEDIFOOD.IOs will attempt to honor those requests, but cannot guarantee that those requests will be honored. Unless MEDIFOOD.IO agrees or states otherwise in writing, all fees and charges are nonrefundable.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Check the FAQs page of the Website to see where we ship.

You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. All Products should be shipped to you personally and are not for resale or export.

You will have the opportunity to select a preferred delivery day, but note that the day is an estimate only, and that your actual delivery date may vary. Any person at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery. In cases in which you have designated an alternative receiver, such person shall accept the delivery under all of the same terms and conditions that would apply had you accepted the delivery yourself.

If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the courier will generally leave the package for you at your door, unless other delivery instructions have been communicated to you. You should plan for immediate and proper storage of your products upon delivery.

You are responsible for inspecting all Products for any damage or other issues upon delivery. Failure to follow safe food handling practices and temperature recommendations may increase the risk of foodborne illness.
