Your use of the Sites after these changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Privacy Policy

Please refer to our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) for information about how we collect, use and disclose information about you.

Eligibility

The Sites are intended for use by those 18 or older. By using the Sites, you warrant that you are 18 years of age or older, have not been previously suspended or removed from the Sites, or engaged in any activity that could result in suspension or removal from the Sites.

Registration, Account and Communication Preferences

Certain areas and features of the Sites require that you register for a Virtue account. By creating an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current and complete account information
  • Maintain and update your account information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Be responsible for the actions on our Sites by anyone who uses the Sites on your behalf
  • Immediately notify us of any suspicious activity or security breaches related to the Site or your account.

By creating an account, you agree to opt in to receiving electronic or other communications from Virtue and that any electronic notifications we send you satisfies any legal requirements that communications be in writing. We may also send you promotional emails, including promotions, offers, newsletters, surveys and other information we think will be of interest to you. You may opt-out of those promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions contained within.

To the extent we decide to offer a loyalty or rewards program, a customer account will be required to be a member of that program. We may decide to auto enroll all Virtue customers with an account into a loyalty or rewards program at no cost to you. You may cancel your membership in our loyalty program by deleting your account. We may offer rewards or other benefits in that program that are based on your spending on the Sites. Any returns of Virtue Products will be deducted from your spending on the Sites.

Guest Purchasers

When making a purchase on the Sites, you may decide to purchase through an account you create, or have created, on the Sites or you may decide to purchase without creating or using an account (“Guest Purchase”). By making a “Guest Purchase” on the Sites, you agree to opt in to receiving electronic or other communications from Virtue and that any electronic notifications we send you satisfies any legal requirements that communications be in writing. We may also send you promotional emails, including promotions, offers, newsletters, surveys and other information we think will be of interest to you. You may opt-out of those promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions contained within.

Subscription Purchases

We may offer the opportunity for you to purchase full-size Virtue product(s) on an ongoing basis and have them shipped to you them automatically based on an interval that you set from a dropdown selection of intervals of days between purchases. You will be billed at the time we process each subscription order for you. Subscription purchases are not eligible for payment over time through our partnership with AfterPay Google Pay, Apple Pay or other similar payment partners and PayPal is not available for subscription purchases. In order to make a subscription purchase, you must create an account. For more information, please visit www.virtuelabs.com/subscriptions on our website.

Subscription purchases are available to U.S. residents only.

By registering for subscription purchases, you agree that Virtue or our third party payment process is authorized to charge you for your subscription product purchases. You also agree that those purchases are continuous until you pause or cancel your subscription purchases or we suspend or stop the program. You may change the intervals between, pause or cancel your subscription purchases at any time through your account. Any order identified as “Order Processed” or “Shipped” has been processed and cannot be cancelled. You will be responsible for all charges, included taxes and shipping (if applicable), for that order.

Virtue reserves the right to change the products available for subscription purchases at any time, as well as to suspend or stop the program. If we decide to suspend or stop the program, we will notify you via email. You will not be responsible for paying for any subscription purchases you are scheduled to receive should we suspend or stop the program.

Cancelling subscription purchases does not opt you out from receiving Virtue email or promotional communications, unless you expressly unsubscribe from those communications.

Subscription purchases are not eligible for Virtue discounts, other than any ongoing discount for subscribing. If you have an order that includes subscription items and non-subscription items, any promo code you apply to the order will be applied only to the non-subscription items. For example, you order a product via subscription that costs $36 at the subscription price and you also include an item via a one-time purchase that costs $40. If you apply a 20% off promo code to that order, the 20% off will only be applied to the $40 non-subscription item. The cost of that item will then be $32 ($40 minus $8 20% off discount) and your total cart would be $68 before taxes and shipping.

If a subscription order occurs during a period when we offer a free gift for meeting or exceeding a set dollar amount of an order, the subscription order will count toward the dollar amount. In the example above, if we offered a free gift for purchases of $60+, you would receive the free gift, as your total cart is $68 before taxes and shipping ($36 for the subscription item + $32 for the non-subscription item).

We may offer free trials of our subscription purchases for specified periods of time without payment. The specific terms of your free trial will be described in marketing materials or at registration.

Once your free trial ends, we will begin billing you on a recurring basis for your subscription based on the intervals you set, unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of your free trial. We will not notify that you that your free trial has ended and your billing has begun.

Payment and Billing Information

We accept credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard or Discover) as well as debit cards and PayPal for payment. When you provide a credit card or other accepted payment method, you warrant that you are authorized to use that payment method and you authorize us, or our third party payment processor, to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including taxes and shipping, if applicable) (collectively, an “Order”). Your Order may be suspended or cancelled if the payment method cannot be verified or is invalid. You may change or update your payment information by logging into your account.

We also offer AfterPay as an option to extend payment over time, by selecting that option at checkout. You may enroll in AfterPay while checking out on the Sites or by enrolling at www.afterpay.com. By enrolling in AfterPay, you are subject to their terms and installment agreement, which are available at www.afterpay.com. A customer account is required to utilize AfterPay on the Sites

Orders paid for with PayPal or AfterPay will be fully charged at time of order.

Taxes

We will collect applicable sales tax on Products shipped to the states for which we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If an item is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown at checkout may be adjusted.

We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you make your purchase.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

You agree that any dispute between you and Virtue arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Sites, or any other Virtue Products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Governing Law: Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Terms and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms or your purchase of any Products.

Informal Dispute Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Virtue, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at customercare@virtuelabs.com. We'll try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Virtue may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree to Arbitrate: You and Virtue agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting us at customercare@virtuelabs.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration Procedures: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, or any other location we agree to.

Arbitration Fees: The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Virtue will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you or Virtue may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Raleigh, North Carolina. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Virtue Products or the Sites, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions: You may only resolve Disputes with Virtue on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under our agreement.

Judicial Forum for Disputes: Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Virtue agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts located in Raleigh, North Carolina. Both you and Virtue consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Limitation on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Virtue Products or the Sites must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

General Terms

Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Virtue and you regarding the Sites and your purchase of any Products or services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Virtue and you regarding the Sites, your purchase of any Products or services, and Content.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Virtue’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Virtue may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Virtue under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email or (ii) by posting to the Sites. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt on the message will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Virtue’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Virtue. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE TERMS.
