Terms and Conditions
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE.
Last updated: September 17, 2024
These Terms of Sale (this “Agreement”) apply to all orders, purchases and use of Organika health products (each a “Product”) manufactured by or for Organika Health Products Inc. (“Organika”) via www.organika.com and www.organika.ca or such other websites and mobile applications as may be made available by Organika and its affiliates from time to time (collectively, the “Site”). In this Agreement, the buyer of any Product via the Site is referred to as “you”; accordingly, if the individual making the purchase is doing so on behalf of a corporation or other legal entity, they represent and warrant having the authority to do so and to bind such entity to this Agreement.
This Agreement contains important terms that, among other things, affect Organika’s liability and your legal remedies against Organika, including a mandatory arbitration agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully, BEFORE you complete a transaction to purchase a Product on the Site. By completing a transaction to purchase a Product on the Site, you agree to be bound by this entire Agreement including the warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability and methods of resolving disputes. This paragraph does not apply to you if you are a consumer residing in the Province of Quebec, or if otherwise required by applicable law.
THIS SITE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE
Any information made available on the Site is for informational purposes only, and no warranty is made that the information is error-free. It is not intended as a substitute for advice from your physician or other healthcare practitioner. Consult your physician or other healthcare practitioner for advice. The products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and no guarantee of results are provided. Reliance on any information provided on this Site or provided by Organika is solely at your own risk.
- Orders, Price and Payment
- Price and Order. The total price for the Product(s) you are purchasing will be stated on the confirmation notice displayed at the last step of the ordering transaction before you confirm your purchase, and, upon your acceptance of the confirmation notice as well as all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the notice becomes your “Order”, an offer to us to purchase such Product(s) on the terms set out therein and this Agreement.
- Availability. All Orders are subject to availability. When placing your Order, the confirmation notice will display whether the Product is in-stock (an “In-Stock Product”), out-of-stock (an “Out-Of-Stock Product”), or a pre-order (a “Pre-Ordered Product”) and may provide an estimated delivery time frame. While we make every effort to ensure that the actual availability of a product is reflected on our website, if any Product turns out to be unavailable after you place an Order, we will inform you as soon as possible by email and will not charge you for that Order. Your Order is not confirmed until we provide you with delivery information.
- Acceptance. Orders submitted by you are not binding upon Organika until the Order is confirmed by Organika. Organika will issue an order confirmation and purchase invoice (an “Invoice”) to you by email, which will constitute Organika’s acceptance of your Order.
- Merchant. Organika may appoint a merchant of record (the “Merchant”), as indicated in your confirmation notice, as the merchant of record for the transaction. In such a case, the Merchant will accept payment, handle Orders, and handle shipments for and behalf of Organika. Accordingly, your point of contact for dealing with Orders may be the Merchant and not Organika directly; check your Invoice for more details.
- Payment. Payment for all Orders must be received by Organika before Organika is legally obligated to fulfill any Order previously accepted under an Invoice. The payment method you use will be charged when you place your Order, and you agree that by providing your payment information, Organika is authorized to immediately invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Organika hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. Organika may accept payments from a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”). When a Payment Processor is utilized to make a payment for an Order, the transaction may be re-directed from the Site to the Payment Processor’s website. You should be aware that the terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of the Payment Processor apply to your dealings with the Payment Processor. Your account and any activities related to providing your personal information will be governed by the Payment Processor’s terms and conditions, and the information provided in relation thereto will be governed by the Payment Processor’s privacy policy. When a Payment Processor is used, your financial information is not shared with Organika and once payment is completed, the Payment Processor will email a receipt to you for the transaction.
- Subject to Organika Cancellation. Organika reserves the right to decline your Order, or to cancel an accepted Order after an Invoice, at any time, including, without limitation, in the event there is an error, typographical error, inaccuracy or omission to the price of any of Organika’s Products or Product descriptions, promotions, offers or availability. Prices, specifications and configurations are subject to change without notice. Organika reserves the right at any time in Organika’s sole and absolute discretion and without notice to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions to the information on the Site.
Although Organika makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the Site is current and contains no errors or inaccuracies, Organika makes no representations, warranties, conditions, or guarantees that the information, content or materials included in the Site will be error-free or completely accurate or current at all times, or at any time.
- Taxes, Duties and Extra Charges. Prices displayed on the Site may not include shipping and handling charges or applicable country/region-specific sales, goods or services taxes, which may be added to the price you pay. Calculation of taxes and shipping charges occurs before your Order is submitted and charged to your credit card as part of the total order amount. You are also responsible for any customs duties or other similar fees applicable to your Order.
- Subscription Orders. Organika offers some of the Products for purchase via a recurring subscription (a “Subscription”). When you purchase Products on a Subscription basis, you agree to pay for and receive repeat deliveries in accordance with the duration and frequency that you select in your Order. During the Subscription period, you will be charged for each delivery of Products at the time of shipping, unless you choose to pay in advance.
If you want to cancel or change your Subscription, you can do it at any time through the links provided in any confirmation emails regarding your Order.
- Currency. All pricing will be noted on your Order and on the Invoice in the appropriate country- or region-specific currency as indicated thereupon. Depending on that currency, your credit card company may apply a conversion rate and additional fees that are outside of Organika’s control. Furthermore, if for any reason pursuant to this Agreement you become entitled to a refund, that refund may be converted by your financial institution at a different rate meaning that it may be lesser than, or greater than, the actual amount charged to you by your financial institution, as the case may be.
- Privacy. Organika collects, uses and discloses your personal information to fulfill your orders and to otherwise manage its relationship with you. By visiting the Site and making a purchase, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
- Returns and Refunds
- Return Policy. Organika offers a limited 60-day return period for the Products (the “Return Policy”). This return policy does not apply to any other products or merchandise sold by Organika or the Merchant. For Quebec consumers, all provisions of this clause apply in addition to the legal warranty. Proof of purchase required.
- Requesting an RMA. The return period applicable to the Products you have purchased commences when Organika or the Merchant ships the Products and expires 60 days following such date (the “Return Period”). To request a refund, you must, within the Return Period, contact Organika (by email at care@organika.com) or the Merchant during business hours with your order number, product name and the reason for your return. . For unopened Products, Organika or the Merchant will send to you a return merchandise authorization (“RMA”) form by email and you must complete the RMA form and return it to Organika or the Merchant by following the instructions contained on the RMA within 30 days. Proof of purchase is required.
- Returning the Unopened Products. You must return the unopened Products to Organika following the RMA instructions and the Return Policy. Please note, for any unopened Products, we will offer a full refund on the original payment method on file. For any opened products being returned, we will be offering the refund amount on an Organika gift card. Organika reserves its rights to require the return of opened products.
- Non-Compliant Returns. If the returned Products have not been returned in accordance with the Return Policy, Organika may refuse to accept the return by returning the Products to you, in which case you will not be entitled to any refund.
- Shipping
- Products. Products will generally be shipped to you within the estimated shipping time period indicated at the time of the Order. Organika does not guarantee shipping times and you acknowledge and agree that any shipping timeframes or dates provided by Organika are estimates only and subject to change.
- Priority. All Products will be shipped in the order in which Invoices have been issued to Organika’s customers, including you. Please allow 2 business days for orders to be processed.
- Receipt. The date of shipping does not guarantee the date of receipt; the actual delivery date to you will depend on the shipping method selected and available to you during your Order.
- Delivery
- General. Organika will arrange to deliver the Products in your Order to the address you provided in your Order, as noted on the Invoice. Title to the Products and risk of loss passes to you upon delivery of the Products at your chosen shipping address.
- Delivery Procedure. Organika’s carriers will complete delivery of the Product to you at the address you specify in your Order.
- Investigations. Organika reserves the right to investigate (or to retain a third party to investigate) any claims or returns on the basis of incorrect delivery procedure and false information. In the unlikely event that your Order arrives with visible damage to the exterior packaging, you may either take delivery or refuse the shipment.

Any claims made after the Inspection Period will not be honoured and the Product shipped and delivered to you will be deemed to have been delivered and accepted by you, and Organika will not consider any claim for damaged or missing Products outside of this time period.
