Terms of use

1. Description of Service

Volition is the first and only online beauty brand that empowers its customers to co-create and curate its product lines. We see our mission as democratizing beauty. We partner directly with, and then feature prominently, the true sources of beauty product innovation - people like yourself.

2. Registration

As a condition to using the Service, we ask that you create an account by registering with us directly, or through a third party social media account.

By granting us such access to your Third Party Accounts, you agree that we may access, make available and store (if applicable) any information that you have provided to us or which is stored in your Third Party Account so that it is available through the Service.

You may not use the name of another person or entity that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark that is subject to any rights of another person or entity without receiving appropriate authorization, or a name that is offensive, vulgar, or obscene.

3. Volition Products

The products displayed on our Service can be ordered and delivered only within the U.S. Note that certain products may also be available in select U.S. retail stores. All prices displayed on the Service are quoted in U.S. Dollars and are valid and effective only in the U.S. Before any minor uses or purchase any product from us, a legal or parental guardian must have discussed use of the product with the minor's doctor.

All material and information presented by Volition is intended to be used for personal, educational or informational purposes only. Product results may vary between individuals. The statements made about our products have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the results reported, if any, may not necessarily occur in all individuals. The statements and products presented on our Service are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition or disease. All products should be used strictly in accordance with their instructions, precautions and guidelines. You should always check the ingredients for products to avoid potential allergic reactions. Use of our Service is not meant to serve as a substitute for professional medical advice; please consult with your own physician or health care practitioner regarding the use of any of our products or information received via the Service before using or relying on them. Volition does not give, or intend to give, any answers to medical related questions. Volition does not represent itself as a physician nor is this implied. No prescription medications or medical treatments are intentionally provided on our Service. The products available on the Service, including any samples Volition may provide to you, are for your personal use only. You may not sell or resell any products you purchase or otherwise receive from Volition. Volition reserves the right, with or without notice, to cancel or reduce the quantity of any order to be filled or products to be provided to you that may result in a violation of these Terms of Use, as determined by Volition in its sole discretion.

While Volition has tried to accurately display the colors of products, the actual colors you see will depend on your device monitor and may not be accurate.

4. Submission of Product Ideas

You may submit a product idea or ideas for potential development by Volition at any time in accordance with these Terms of Use. Once a product idea is submitted, Volition and its laboratory, formulation and development partners will evaluate the product idea for its commercial potential. Following such evaluation, Volition may, at its sole discretion, select such product idea for further development. For all product ideas submitted for review, Volition will notify you if the idea has been accepted or declined for further development within six (6) months of the date of idea submission.

Once a product idea is selected for further development, Volition will prepare a product brief, product prototype sketches and marketing materials, all of which will be submitted to Volition Site users for their ideas, suggestions and input regarding the product. Subject to Sections 8 and 9 below, you or Volition may withdraw a product idea from evaluation at any time prior to selection of that product idea by Volition for further development.

THE SELECTION, DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE, SALE AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF ANY PRODUCT IDEA IS SUBJECT TO VOLITION’S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION AND VOLITION RESERVES THE RIGHT, FOR ANY OR NO REASON, TO (I) REJECT ANY SUBMITTED PRODUCT IDEA; (II) TERMINATE THE DEVELOPMENT OR ANY PHASE RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PRODUCT IDEA, (III) TERMINATE THE SALE OR MANUFACTURE OF ANY PRODUCT; OR (IV) SELL OR LICENSE A PRODUCT IDEA, AND/OR ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RELATED THERETO, TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

As used in this Agreement, Intellectual Property Rights means all current and future worldwide copyrights, trade secrets, patents and other patent rights, utility models, mask work rights, moral rights, trademarks, service marks, and all other intellectual property rights, including all related mobile applications and registrations.

You agree that Volition has the right and permission to use your name, voice, image, likeness, and your applicable compensation information, as well as representations made by you, in any media (including, without limitation, television, print, radio and the Internet), world-wide, for the purposes of advertising, promoting, reporting and disseminating information about Volition, Volition’s business or the product idea submission program.

5. Compensation for Developed Products

Once a product idea is accepted by Volition for further development and/or commercialization, you agree to enter into Volition’s standard Innovator Agreement, which will govern compensation to be paid to you and other commercial terms.

Because Volition may elect, in its sole discretion, to cease developing or commercializing any product idea at any time, there can be no guarantee that you will ever receive any compensation in connection with your submitted product idea. Volition makes no representations or warranties regarding any actual monetary compensation that may be earned in connection with a product idea submission.

6. Tax Withholding

You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for all taxes due on any payments made to you by Volition in connection with a product idea submission. Volition will be under no obligation to make any payments to you unless you have properly completed and submitted the Payee Information Form which will be contained in the Innovator Agreement.

7. Ownership of Product Ideas Accepted

As used in this Agreement, the term “Work Product” means any ideas and concepts, whether or not patentable, and all related know-how, designs, trademarks, formulae, processes, manufacturing techniques, trade secrets, ideas, artwork, or other copyrightable or patentable works. You acknowledge and agree that any Work Product relating to a product idea submitted by you and accepted for further development and commercialization by Volition shall become the sole and exclusive property of Volition, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. Volition will also own all rights in any copies, translations, modifications, adaptations or derivatives of any of the Work Product, including any improvements. For the avoidance of doubt, you hereby agree that Volition shall have the sole right to copy, distribute, amend, modify, develop, sublicense, sell, transfer and assign the Work Product, associated documentation, or any enhancements thereof.

If you have any rights to the Work Product that cannot be assigned to Volition, you will (a) unconditionally and irrevocably waive the enforcement of such rights, and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Volition with respect to such rights, and agree, at Volition’s request and expense, to consent to and join in any action to enforce such rights, and (b) unconditionally and irrevocably grant to Volition, under all of your Intellectual Property Rights, an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid and royalty-free license, with rights to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, to reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display by all means now known or later developed, such rights.

You agree to cooperate with Volition, both during and after the term of this Agreement, in the procurement and maintenance of Volition's rights in the Work Product and to execute, when requested, any other documents deemed necessary by Volition to carry out the purpose of these Terms of Use.

8. License for Product Ideas Not Accepted

For all ideas submitted and not accepted by Volition for further development and/or commercialization, you retain ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights therein. However, because accurately tracking idea ownership and intellectual property interests in a multitude of product idea submissions is extremely difficult, if not impossible, you agree that Volition shall receive a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, fully transferable license from you to use all of your Intellectual Property Rights in such product idea in Volition's business, including but not limited to, the right to develop products that may compete with a commercialized version of your idea.

9. Product Orders and Payment

There is no charge to use the Service. For product orders, Volition accepts American Express, MasterCard, and Visa cards. If any fee is not paid in a timely manner, or we are unable to process your transaction using the payment information provided, Volition reserves the right to suspend or revoke access to your account. Volition may add new fees and charges from time to time. If you want to use a different payment card or if there is a change in payment card validity or expiration date, you may edit your information by accessing your account page. If your payment card reaches its expiration date, your continued use of the Service constitutes your authorization for us to continue billing that credit card. It is your responsibility to keep your contact information and payment information current and updated.

10. Product Samples and Returns

Your satisfaction is important to us. We have developed a special testing program. You will receive your order with a sample tester of the exact product you have bought. Try that sample and see if you want to keep the full size. If you like the product then break the seal and use/keep the full size. If you are not satisfied then return the product with all safety seals intact within 30 days for a product refund less $3.00 for return shipping & handling. Please email customer service to process the return at service@volitionbeauty.com. Instructions and a printable ship return label will be provided. Once the product is received back at our warehouse, your credit will be processed. Returns are processed within 5 business days of receipt. Credit card refunds can take up to 30 days depending on your bank’s policies.

11. Product Availability Notifications

If a product that you want to purchase on our Service is not in stock, you can choose to provide us your e-mail address so that we can notify you when the product becomes available again.

12. Fraud Protection Program

As part of our order processing procedures, we screen all received orders for fraud, misrepresentation or other types of unauthorized or illegal activity. We reserve the right to refuse to process an order due to suspected fraud or unauthorized or illegal activity. If such activity is suspected, we may reject your order or our Customer Service department may call you at the phone number you provided (or use your email address) to confirm your order. We also reserve the right to cancel any accounts or refuse to ship to certain addresses due to suspected fraud or unauthorized or illegal activity.

13. No Animal Testing

We do not test our products on animals nor do we permit others to do so except where it is required by law. We are strongly opposed to animal testing and support pushing alternative testing methods forward. We hope they will be adopted by all regulatory agencies and we will all see an end to animal testing.

You may notify us of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”). We will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged infringement sent pursuant to the DMCA.

In order to notify us of a copyright infringement claim pursuant to the DMCA, you must include:

• a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
• a description of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, including a URL address;
• Your full name, address, telephone number, and, email address;
• a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement made under penalty of perjury by you that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright involved.

The notice described above should be sent to us via email using the address service@volitionbeauty.com.

• Right to Close Accounts. Volition reserves the right to close the account(s) of any Referrer and/or Referred Customer and to request proper payment if the Referrer and/or Referred Customer attempts to use the Volition Refer-a-Friend program in a questionable manner or breaches any of these Terms & Conditions or is in violation of any law, statute or governmental regulation.
