By visiting the Site or otherwise creating an account and placing an order with us (together with the Site, the “Services”), you agree to abide and be bound by these Terms. Please read these Terms and the Privacy Policy carefully before using the Services. Your access to and use of the Services is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current services shall be subject to these Terms. You are required to create an account on the site to place an order. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for restricting access to your account, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur through your account. You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. You may not access or use the services if (1) you do not agree to these terms; (2) you have previously been suspended or removed from using the services; (3) the laws of the country in which you reside prohibit use of the Services in accordance with these Terms; or (4) your use of the services breaches any other agreement to which you are a party. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You acknowledge that Root To Fruit is not responsible for third-party access to your account that results from theft or misappropriation. Root To Fruit and our associates reserve the right to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit content in our sole discretion. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate your access to the Services or any portion thereof at any time and for any reason, without notice. Root To Fruit  shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such termination, suspension, restriction, modification, or discontinuation. Memberships, Orders & Idle Charges. We offer different membership plans for our services based on the number of menu items and number of people you want to feed per delivery week, as well as add-ons and seasonal specials (collectively, “Add-Ons”) you can select for an additional fee when you confirm your upcoming order. The number of items you receive and the amount you are charged may vary from week to week depending on the membership plan and any Add-Ons you select. If we change the prices or other charges associated with our membership plans, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by email or a notice posted on the Site. The fees for your membership can be found on your account page and may be subject to change in the future. Root To Fruit  allows you to place orders once a week and will allow you to edit your order until a certain date prior to the scheduled delivery, which we will provide you with at the time you place your order (“Order Deadline”). Each week’s order must be placed before the stated Order Deadline. If you choose not to receive meals during a given week, Root To Fruit allows you to skip that week’s delivery on the Services and will not charge your account for any skipped week. You may change your membership plan and skip as often as you would like. In the event your payment method is declined or has insufficient funds to fulfill your order or process an Idle Charge, we will notify you by email and reserve the right to withhold any scheduled but unpaid orders until payment is processed successfully. After the first such instance of an issue with your payment method, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel your membership and terminate your access to the Services. Root To Fruit  does not offer full or partial refunds for any deliveries & inspections In the case of weather or other events beyond our control that interfere with or inhibit our ability to make safe, on-time deliveries to you, we will attempt to deliver your order as soon as reasonably possible. In some cases, delivery may occur on a date other than your scheduled delivery day. If the delivery of your order is not feasible, we will cancel your delivery for the period so affected and issue you a credit, as determined in our sole discretion or refund of a part or the whole of the purchase price for that undeliverable order. You are responsible for promptly inspecting your delivery and all of the meals and products contained within it for completeness, freshness, any defects, or other problems. If you identify any issues or have any questions, please contact us immediately at roottofruit0@gmail.com. Upon the completion of your inspection, we recommend that you place all perishables in your refrigerator to ensure their integrity. We highly recommend that you review the USDA’s instructions on safe food handling. Feast & Fettle uses various materials and packaging, such as insulated bags and cold packs, in an effort to keep perishable items cold for delivery, but cannot guarantee that handling during delivery may not shift or damage the shipping containerdelivery vessel or its contents. Once the order is delivered to you, ownership and the risk of loss and damage passes to you. If you are not home when your order is delivered, your order will be left at your door or in a common area, and we cannot guarantee that the contents of your delivery will remain cold, fresh, or safe for consumption after delivery. Consumption of any order item is solely at your risk from the time of delivery. As such, you are solely responsible for any preparatory steps, storage of the contents of any order, and the service of all the contents of the respective order. We recommend that you use a thermometer to measure the temperature of any poultry, fish, or meat products to verify internal temperatures pursuant to USDA Guidelines. Feast & Fettle includes preparation and service suggestions with your order, and at all times recommends that seafood, meats, and poultry should be cooked to the USDA’s recommended internal temperatures. Orders are processed at the order deadline, four (4) days before the applicable delivery week (“Order Deadline”)and payment is processed on the first day of the applicable delivery week. Any order canceled after the Order Deadline will be processed and delivered. You may cancel your order after the Order Deadline, but before payment is processed, for a fee of 35% of the full order total to cover the cost of the products we have purchased to complete your order. You will be responsible for all charges incurred for any order processed prior to the cancelation of your membership. Orders submitted on menus with Order Deadlines that have not expired will be voided, not processed, and not delivered. Refund Policy & Credits We want you to be completely satisfied with your order. If you’re not, let us know at roottofruit0@gmail.com and we’ll make it right. Refunds or credits are granted on a case by case basis within 5 days of your delivery date and take up to 3 business days to process. We do not accept returns. Credits issued to your account, other than the Idle Charge, are at the sole discretion of Root To Fruit . Any credit issued for a purpose other than direct compensation for goods not delivered is not refundable nor transferrable.  Referrals By referring new customers to us (“Referred Customers”), you will receive a credit (“Reward”) when each Referred Customer receives their first delivery, subject to these Terms. You may earn only one (1) Reward per Referred Customer. To receive multiple Rewards, you must introduce multiple Referred Customers who have received their first delivery after becoming a member through your referral email. You cannot refer yourself to earn a Reward, and purchases by Referred Customers who share your email address, billing address, or shipping information will not qualify for a Reward. When sending referral emails, you agree that you will always tell your Referred Customers that you will receive a Reward from us if they place and order through your email referral and receive their first delivery. Referral emails and Rewards are not transferable, have no cash value, and cannot, under any circumstances, be redeemed for cash or any cash equivalent. Eligibility to receive Rewards is limited to individuals only. Referrals cannot be used by businesses or for affiliate lead generation or similar purposes, as determined in our sole discretion. The use of multiple accounts, email addresses, online identities, or aliases to circumvent the eligibility requirements or other limitations of these Terms is prohibited and may result in exclusion from and the cancelation of all Rewards. Referrals should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes. You should only refer to your personal connections and referral emails and related links should not be published or distributed on commercial websites (such as coupon websites, Reddit, Wikipedia, etc.), on blogs, or other websites created to take advantage of referral traffic generated from individuals searching for coupons or other discount codes, as determined by Root To Fruit  in our sole discretion. You must also comply with all laws governing the transmission of email or other electronic communications. For example, emails must be created and distributed in a personal manner and bulk email distribution is prohibited. Any distribution of your referral emails or associated links that could constitute unsolicited commercial email or "spam" under any applicable law or regulation is expressly prohibited. You are prohibited from paying to advertise your referral emails and related links. We reserve the right to deactivate any referral information and related links distributed through unauthorized channels and to revoke all related Rewards. We reserve the right to close your account and deactivate or cancel all related links and Rewards if we suspect that you (or any Referred Customer you refer to us) has used or attempted to use the referral in a fraudulent or abusive manner or in violation of these Terms or applicable law. These referral provisions are subject to modification or termination at any time without notice in our sole discretion. Promo Codes To be eligible for any promotional discount, you must be a U.S. resident with a valid U.S. delivery address in a state we deliver to (excludes Hawaii and Alaska, P.O.

Promo Codes cannot be applied to previously placed orders and are not transferable or redeemable for cash or credit. If your order complies with these Terms and the Promo Code you enter is valid, we will add the applicable promotional discount to your order. Any attempt by you to abuse the promotional discount by using multiple or different identities, email addresses, registrations, accounts, and/or any other methods, will void and disqualify you from receiving the promotional discount at our sole discretion. For purposes of clarity, percentage- or dollar-off promotions may be combined with other account credits and Rewards, but may not be combined with other percentage- or dollar-off promotions offered by Root To Fruit . We reserve the right to cancel or modify any promotional discounts for any reason and at any time, with or without prior notice. We reserve the right to void any Promo Code redemption that appears to be fraudulent, results from a fraudulent transaction, or is not compliant with these Terms. You may not participate in the promotional discounts if your participation would be prohibited by any applicable law. Promotional discounts are not redeemable for cash, and there are no substitutions. For questions about promotional discounts or Promo Codes, please email roottofruit0@gmail.com.
