Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to this website (the “Website”) operated by Active Choices, Inc., a corporation formed in Illinois, United States (“us,” “we,” or “our”). These Terms apply to everyone who wishes to access or use the Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you do not have our permission to access or use the Website.

We offer goods, services, and digital products on this Website. The price of these goods, services, and digital products is as follows: the price is listed on the website for some items, while other items (such as particular programs) are customized based on the needs of the customers. This price does not include taxes or other fees that you may be charged.

When you make a purchase on the Website, you will be using a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe) that will collect your payment information and process your payment. We are not responsible for the collection, use, sharing, or security of your billing information by that processor. The following payment methods are typically accepted: American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.

You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method in connection with any purchase and that the information you supply to us and to the processor is true, correct, and complete.

We do not offer you the ability to cancel any purchases you have made of the goods, services, and digital products offered on our Website. We reserve the right to cancel your purchase for any reason, at our sole discretion, including but not limited to fraud, inaccuracies, and unavailability of the items or services purchased. We will let you know immediately if we plan on cancelling your purchase, and we will issue you a refund of the full purchase price if we cancel.

We do not offer refunds on any purchases made of the goods, services, and digital products offered on our Website. Click here to view our cancellation and rescheduling policy.

When you purchase our goods, either we or a third party will ship these goods to you. If a third party is used for shipping, the shipping will be governed by that third party's Terms of Service and other applicable policies. When you purchase our goods, the cost of shipping will be calculated and presented to you during checkout. We or a third party will ship the goods to you within a reasonable time from the date of your purchase.

We may ask you to provide an advance payment or deposit on any purchase. An advance payment is a partial payment of the total purchase price; a deposit is a payment made to reserve goods, services, or digital products. We will issue you a refund of any advance payment or deposit if we cancel your purchase. Because we do not offer you the ability to cancel purchases, we do not refund advance payments or deposits.

The items or services displayed or sold on this Website are provided “as is.” No warranty, express or implied (including any implied warranty of merchantability, of satisfactory quality, or fitness for a particular purpose or use) shall apply to any items or services displayed or sold on this Website, whether arising by law, course of dealing, course of performance, usage of trade, or otherwise.
