3. Product Sale Terms.
a. The submission of an order for dÅTERRA products by a Member and its acceptance by dÅTERRA constitutes a contract of sale between the Member and dÅTERRA which includes an obligation on the Member to pay for the products ordered. b. dÅTERRA will endeavour to deliver the products ordered within its stated target delivery dates which are all less than 30 days from order, but all orders are subject to availability and dÅTERRA reserves the right to cancel orders for any products which cease to be available for any reason. dÅTERRA has the right to cancel an order before the products are delivered for any reason including due to an event outside its control, or due to unavailability of stock, limits on its resources which it could not reasonably plan for, or because it has identified an error in the price or description of the product. If this occurs dÅTERRA will notify the Member and refund the payments made for the products. c. It is dÅTERRA’s responsibility to supply goods which meet a Member’s consumer rights. If a Member has any concerns that dÅTERRA has not met its legal obligations please contact us. Product descriptions are set out in dÅTERRA’s catalogue which is also available on dÅTERRA’s website. The product images in the catalogue and on the website are for illustrative purposes only: the shape, colour and size of products delivered may vary from the examples shown and such variations do not constitute a product defect.
4. Cancellation Rights.
a. A Member may cancel a product order at any time before delivery. A Member will also have an opportunity to examine the products ordered after delivery and if the Member is not satisfied with the products for any reason then the Member may give notice to dÅTERRA within 14 days of the delivery of the products that the Member wishes to cancel the order then, provided that the Member returns the products to dÅTERRA at the address stated on the sales receipt within 14 days from the date of the cancellation notice, dÅTERRA will provide a refund to the Member. The refund will include the cost of delivering the product to the Member (except for any supplementary delivery costs if the Member chose a delivery method which is more expensive than dÅTERRA’s standard delivery). The Member will not incur any charges for that refund and the same means of payment will be used as the Member used for payment.
b. The Member can use the notice of cancellation provided on the sales receipt or can give notice in some other way as long as dÅTERRA receives a clear statement of the decision to cancel. c. If the Member rejects the products for any reason other than damage to or a defect in the products, the member must pay the cost of returning the products to dÅTERRA and the Member will be responsible for their safe return. If the Member does not return the products to dÅTERRA, dÅTERRA will be entitled to deduct the cost of recovering the products from the amount to be refunded. If the Member rejects the products because they are damaged or faulty, dÅTERRA will cover the cost of the return of the products to dÅTERRA. d. If the products are returned by the Member for any reason other than damage to or a defect in the products and the products have suffered any reduction in their value as a result of handling beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products then the Member will be charged for that diminution in value and that charge will be deducted from the amount of the refund.

6. Loyalty Rewards Program. While a Member has no requirement to purchase products, a Member can ensure that the Member will receive monthly deliveries of dÅTERRA products by enrolling in the Loyalty Rewards Program (LRP) after the first month of enrollment. LRP eliminates the inconvenience of placing monthly orders manually. If the Member’s LRP Order is at least 50 Personal Volume (PV) points every calendar month, the Member is eligible to receive Product Credits each month. PV is the point value of products purchased by a Member in one calendar month. Not all products will generate PV points and PV does not include purchases of product with Product Credit. The PV of a product is clearly delineated on the Product Order Form. Product Credits are non-cash redeemable points that can be used to purchase dÅTERRA designated products. Product Credits are granted as part of the LRP and in the discretion of the Company. After Member has been an LRP participant for 60 days, Member can redeem Product Credits to purchase full PV products. LRP Product Credits can be redeemed for 12 months from the date of issue, after which they expire. The credits can be redeemed for a 2,00 € fee by calling or emailing the applicable contact information provided below. Products purchased with LRP credits are not for resale. Redemption orders have no PV and cannot be combined with other product orders. Product Credits have no cash redemption value and are not transferrable. All Product Credits will be cancelled if participation in the LRP program is cancelled. A Member’s primary LRP order may only be cancelled by contacting dÅTERRA. Any subsequent LRP order can be cancelled online.
7. Resale of Products. Member agrees that they will not sell dÅTERRA products purchased through the Membership. As a Wholesale Customer a Member does not have any rights to participate in dÅTERRA’s trading scheme; a Member may not market dÅTERRA’s business opportunity or attempt to recruit others; and a Member may not earn any commissions or bonuses under dÅTERRA’s compensation plan. The Loyalty Rewards Program does not form part of dÅTERRA’s compensation plan.
8. Limitation of Liability. dÅTERRA, its members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, assigns, and agents (collectively referred as “affiliates”), shall not be liable for special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages. If dÅTERRA is found to be in breach of the terms and conditions, the maximum amount of damages Member may claim shall be limited to the amount of dÅTERRA products that Member personally purchased from dÅTERRA and have remaining on hand. The foregoing limitations do not apply to any liabilities which may not be excluded or limited under English law.
9. Dispute Resolution. Should any dispute arising from a Membership not be resolved directly between the parties there are a number of government approved and EU listed certified alternative dispute resolution service providers, including ProMediate (UK) Limited (www.promediate.co.uk) and others which can be accessed here http://ec.europa. eu/odr, but dÅTERRA is not obliged to and does not agree to have its Members’ complaints handled by these providers. In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement, which arises from or relates to the Contract the parties shall use their best efforts to settle the dispute, claim, question, or disagreement. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both parties. If they do not reach such solution within a period of 60 days, then each party shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
