All prices are shown in U.S dollars, and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice, including without limitation, as based on geographic or other criteria as we may establish from time to time; provided, however, that if we change the amounts or other charges associated with our various subscription plans, we will provide our existing subscribers with advance notice of such changes as set forth in the “Sakara Communications To You” section of these terms. We will not, however, be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes.

We strive to provide you with high-quality Products, and due to the perishable nature of certain ingredients and market conditions beyond our control, we may be required to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not satisfied with a substitution, please contact us at help@sakaralife.com. Note that gifts with purchase during special programs are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and subject to availability.

You must resolve any payment method problems before we proceed with your Order.

9. DELIVERY LOGISTICS

Current Delivery Area

We currently deliver to all 48 contiguous states in the U.S.

We ask that you leave detailed delivery instructions when checking out for your meal program. For example:

• Where should we leave your Sakara box? (the more descriptive the better)

• Is yours a residence or commercial building?

• Should we leave the box at your doorstep or with a doorman?

• Would you like the delivery team to call you on arrival?

Delivery Schedule
We will notify you via email should there be a change in delivery schedule, including due to holidays.

10. DELIVERY DISCLAIMER

Sakara is not responsible for failed deliveries due to incorrect or incomplete addresses.

All Sakara meals should be kept refrigerated until consumed and freshness cannot be guaranteed past the 4th day from receipt. It is up to you to maintain freshness once received. Our meals are packaged with insulated liners and ice packs and will typically remain cold and fresh for several hours, but depending on the season and temperature in your geographic area at the time of delivery, advance planning by you should be made for immediate and proper storage of your meals prior to consumption. It’s important to put your Sakara meals and perishable items in the refrigerator when you receive them. By purchasing the Sakara organic meal delivery program, you agree to properly and promptly refrigerate all meals until you plan to eat them. Since all of our food is fresh (and preservative-free, chemical-free, etc.), it will go bad if not properly stored and refrigerated. Sakara is not responsible for any food that has not been properly and promptly refrigerated after delivery.

In certain cases, you may be able to provide additional delivery instructions when setting up your account or placing your Order, such as requesting that your delivery be left with a doorman or neighbor. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery. In cases in which you have designated an alternative receiver, such person shall accept the delivery under all of the same terms and conditions that would apply had you accepted the delivery yourself. We will do our best to deliver your meals to you in accordance with your specifications. However, if you are not home to receive the delivery, our team will leave your box according to your delivery instructions or in the safest available spot. Sakara is not responsible for replacing programs once delivered, in the event that you are not home and the delivery is taken.

Once the delivery has been made, we are no longer responsible for any damage to the delivery or for the security of its contents. You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery. In addition, you are solely responsible for determining the freshness of the Products you receive. If you think the contents are not suitable for consumption or have been tampered with, please let us know as soon as possible so we can find a more suitable arrangement for the next delivery.

Sakara is not responsible for damage or loss of personal property during deliveries if evidence of misconduct by Sakara or its delivery personnel cannot be provided.

11. MEAL PROGRAM AND DELIVERY MODIFICATIONS

If you are traveling, you can reschedule your deliveries by signing into your account, or emailing us at help@sakaralife.com for help. Because all meal programs are made to order, we require that you let us know by Wednesday at midnight EST of any changes to be made for programs beginning the following week, including but not limited to paused delivery, delivery address changes, allergy changes, and delivery window changes.

12. WEATHER & TRAFFIC ALLOWANCES

Our delivery partners do their best to get your food to you on time so you may enjoy it at its freshest. Still, they run into delays due to weather, traffic, and other factors that are outside of their control. We cannot guarantee delivery within your selected time slot.

In instances of inclement weather, we reserve the right to cancel our deliveries in order to avoid putting our delivery teams at risk. In such a case, we will notify you as early as possible and your meal program will be automatically extended by the number of days cancelled. If this does not suit your schedule, please let us know and we will do our best to find a better arrangement.

As both traffic and weather are outside of Sakara’s control, refunds will not be issued for affected Orders.

13. RETURNS, REPLACEMENTS, REFUNDS, AND CREDITS

Since our products are handcrafted and made-to-order with fresh ingredients, we cannot accept returns. All sales are final. If a product arrives damaged or you have concerns, please contact our Wellness Team (help@sakaralife.com). We do our best to ensure a flawless experience, and depending on the circumstances, we may, in our sole discretion, replace the meal or products, provide you with a full or partial refund for the purchase price of that meal or products, or provide you with a credit for that meal or product that will be automatically applied to future deliveries under your meal program subscription. If issued, a refund may take 3-5 business days to show up, depending on which bank you use. If you are provided with a credit for a future program, we may implement the credit in a variety of ways at our discretion, including extending the program for you ourselves, providing you with a discount code to use on a future Order, or applying a credit to your account, which will be automatically deducted from your next payment. If you have any questions regarding the replacement, refund, and credit logistics, please reach out to us at help@sakaralife.com for help.

Refunds will not be issued for delays that are the result of factors outside Sakara’s control, including but not limited to weather, traffic, and unexpected events as they relate to our delivery partners. If for any reason we have to cancel your delivery, you will be notified by email, and the number of meals canceled will be automatically added to the end of your program. If this does not suit your schedule, please let us know and we will do our best to find a better arrangement.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS THAT RESULTS FROM YOUR USE OF SUCH DATA OR INFORMATION.

CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

THIRD PARTY PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS. WE DO NOT MANUFACTURE OR CONTROL ANY OF THE FOOD OR NON-FOOD PRODUCTS OFFERED IN THIRD PARTY PROMOTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH THIRD-PARTY PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS OFFERED ON OUR SITE OR PROVIDED IN MEAL PROGRAM SUBSCRIPTIONS. YOU AFFIRM THAT WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY CLAIMS OR FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE MANUFACTURER'S FAILURE TO HONOR ITS WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS TO YOU.

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO CASE SHALL SAKARA, OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, INTERNS, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS, CLAIM, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, REPLACEMENT COSTS, OR ANY SIMILAR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT (OR PRODUCT) POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE AMOUNT THAT SAKARA IS LIABLE TO YOU EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) $100.00 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO SAKARA IN CONNECTION WITH OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT ON WHICH YOUR CLAIM IS BASED.

THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN SAKARA AND YOU. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY, THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO PREVENT A RIGHT TO RECOVER CERTAIN DAMAGES (INCLUDING PUNITIVE DAMAGES) WHERE A HARMED PERSON PROVES WITH THE REQUIRED EVIDENCE THAT THE HARM SUFFERED WAS THE RESULT OF THE DEFENDANT'S "ACTS OR OMISSIONS AND SUCH ACTS OR OMISSIONS WERE ACTUATED BY ACTUAL MALICE OR ACCOMPANIED BY A WANTON AND WILLFUL DISREGARD OF PERSONS WHO FORESEEABLY MIGHT BE HARMED BY THOSE ACTS OR OMISSIONS." SIMILARLY, THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT SAKARA’S TORT LIABILITY UNDER NEW JERSEY LAW RESULTING FROM SAKARA’S OWN INTENTIONAL OR RECKLESS CONDUCT.

16. INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sakara and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

In the event of such a claim, suit, or action ("Claim"), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

Sakara reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Sakara in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify Sakara for any unconscionable commercial practice by Sakara or for Sakara 's negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your account, these Terms or your access to or use of the Site or Products.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you only agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Sakara and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.

29. ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION ("ARBITRATION AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE MOST DISPUTES WITH SAKARA AND MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

YOU AND SAKARA AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE SITE, THE PROGRAM, THESE TERMS, OR CONTENT (A "DISPUTE" AS DEFINED BELOW) SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION, AS DETAILED BELOW.

You and Sakara agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

Disputes. "Disputes" shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Sakara against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way from the Site, the Products, the Program or the Content including but not limited to sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and Sakara, even if the claim arises after you or Sakara has terminated use of the Site or a user account or these Terms. Disputes also include, but are not limited to: (a) claims that you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) claims that Sakara brings against you; (c) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Sakara, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (d) claims that arose before these Terms or out of a prior set of Terms with Sakara; (e) claims that are subject to ongoing litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (f) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms. “Disputes” does not include disagreements or claims concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, claims of piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property (collectively, “intellectual property claims”).

Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach our support department at help@sakaralife.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with our [support department], and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration Process and Procedure. Except as provided herein, if we cannot resolve a Dispute informally, any Dispute will be resolved only by binding arbitration to be held in the county in which you reside. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in New York, New York. Sakara and you further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, NY Times Building, 620 8th Ave, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Sakara at 580 Broadway, Suite 210, New York, NY 10012.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules (or the rules of the alternative arbitral forum selected by the parties) and the rules set forth in this Arbitration Agreement, the rules set forth in this Arbitration Agreement will govern. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to your state's law.

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Sakara will pay the additional cost. Sakara shall also bear the cost of any arbitration fees, unless the arbitrator finds your claims, defenses, or other fee-generating activity to be frivolous or asserted or conducted for an improper purpose. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expert witness costs unless Sakara is specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law.

If Sakara's or your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the JAMS Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator.

You or Sakara may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where: (a) jurisdiction and venue over you and Sakara otherwise qualifies for such small claims court; (b) such claim advances only on an individual (e.g., non-class, non-representative) basis; and (c) where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to provide Sakara with advance notice by email to help@sakaralife.com and by mail to 580 Broadway, Suite 210, New York, NY 10012.

These Terms and this Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Sakara on your behalf.

Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable or whether any claims are not subject to arbitration. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Sakara. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND SAKARA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Sakara are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out. Your notice must be sent via email to legal@sakaralife.com and to: Sakara, 580 Broadway, Suite 210, New York, NY 10012 within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), your signature, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have with us, or may enter into in the future with us.

Parents, Subsidiaries, Affiliates. This Arbitration Agreement will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Sakara, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Sakara, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Site, any person's access to and/or use of the Site, the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Site, or the provision of the Program.

Changes to this Section. Sakara will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Site, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the applicable website or sent to you. Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection titled "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the sections entitled "Arbitration" and "Class Action Waiver" and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver sections in existence after you began using the Site.

Severability. Subject to the section titled "Class Action Waiver," if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms or your relationship with Sakara.

30. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Sakara and you agree to resolve any dispute in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Sakara and you further agree to not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to any dispute with a third party. If an arbitrator or a court determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then the portion of the claim seeking that remedy (and only that portion of the claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims shall remain subject to arbitration solely on an individual basis.
The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person's or entity's claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). And the arbitrator's decision or award in one person's or entity's case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other Sakara users, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other users.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims, or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in New York, New York.

If any clause within this Class Action Waiver Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.

This Class Action Waiver Section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of Sakara, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Sakara, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims is a dispute.
This Class Action Waiver Section shall survive any termination of your account or the Site.

31. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms shall not be modified by any of: (i) course of performance between the parties; (ii) course of conduct or dealing between the parties; or (iii) applicable trade practice.

Waiver. The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Severability. Subject to the section titled “Arbitration,” in the event that any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

Interpretation. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.

32. SAKARA REWARDS

Membership in the Program ("Membership") is limited to individuals only and is limited to one account per individual. You must be age 16 years or older and a legal resident of the United States to be eligible for Membership. Eligible minors must obtain their parent's or legal guardian's consent prior to participation.

BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT ON SAKARA.COM YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY OPTING INTO THE SAKARA REWARDS PROGRAM, AND YOU AGREE (OR, IF YOU ARE A MINOR, YOUR PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN AGREES) TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT AND JOIN THE SAKARA REWARDS PROGRAM. HOWEVER, A PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO QUALIFY FOR A TIER AND REDEEM REWARDS.

Membership Tiers; Earning and Redeeming Sakara Rewards Points

Membership Tiers Generally

There are three Tiers of membership in the Program: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. All membership Tiers enjoy a variety of benefits made available by Sakara in its sole discretion from time to time (“Benefits”). Benefits may vary by Tier and some Tiers may have more Benefits than others. The type, timing, and availability of any Benefits (including Rewards as defined below, special offers, sweepstakes, one of a kind experiences, exclusive events, and advance access to products) will be determined by Sakara in its sole discretion.

Sakara may, in its sole discretion, alter, limit, or modify the Tier rules, regulations, benefits, eligibility for membership, or any other feature of a particular tier or may terminate a particular tier at any time in its sole discretion, without prior notice except as expressly set out in these Terms or required by applicable law.

Silver Status

All registered Sakara Rewards members are granted Silver status upon their first purchase. Subject to removal from the Program (as explained in Section 7 below), a member will remain a Silver status indefinitely unless the minimum annual spend required to achieve Gold or Platinum status is met.
Gold Status

Gold status is conferred on those registered Sakara Rewards members who spend a minimum of $1,000 during a rolling 12 month calendar. Gold status is maintained for the 12 months in which the Sakara Rewards member qualifies; after that, annual requalification is required.

Platinum Status

Platinum status is conferred on those registered Sakara Rewards members who spend a minimum of $5,000 during a rolling 12 month calendar. Platinum status is maintained for the 12 months in which the Sakara Rewards member qualifies; after that, annual requalification is required.

Sakara Rewards Points

Under the Program, all three Tiers of membership will have 1 Point (a “Sakara Rewards Point”) credited to their Sakara Rewards for every U.S. dollar spent.

Any reference to "merchandise" or the value of merchandise in these Terms for purposes of collecting Sakara Rewards Points includes all Sakara Products sold online through sakara.com only. It does not include payment for e-gift cards, gift cards, ticket purchases for special Sakara events, or value of any discount codes used. Rewards Points are not earned on purchases of Sakara products through other on- or off-line retailers.

As part of the Benefits of being a member, your Sakara Rewards Points may be redeemed for rewards made available by Sakara from time to time in its sole discretion (“Rewards”). You are eligible to redeem Sakara Rewards Points for a Reward if you have enough Sakara Rewards Points in your account. Rewards can only be redeemed online and shipped to addresses in the contiguous United States.

Sakara Rewards Points themselves have no cash value and can only be redeemed for Rewards. Sakara may, in its sole discretion, allow Sakara Rewards Points to be redeemed for other benefits or items of merchandise from time to time. However, unless expressly permitted by Sakara, Sakara Rewards Points are never redeemable for cash, for another product, for gift cards or for e-gift certificates.

Sakara Reward Point Expiration

It's our hope that you redeem your Sakara Rewards Points on a regular basis. All unredeemed Sakara Rewards Points will expire when a Program member has not engaged in Sakara Rewards Point activity associated with that membership account (through purchase or redemption) for 12 months or longer. If you have questions regarding the date of your last Sakara Rewards Point activity or your last purchase, check your Profile page. If you feel Sakara Rewards Points have expired in error, please email customer service at help@sakaralife.com for assistance.

Sakara Rewards Profile Page

Your Sakara Rewards profile page is your destination for everything Sakara Rewards related, including the Benefits associated with your membership Tier; your current Sakara Rewards Point balance or Sakara Rewards Point activity stored in your account. Your Sakara Rewards profile page can be accessed by logging into your online account at www.sakara.com/pages/rewards.

Rewards

Generally

Sakara may offer Rewards through your profile page from time to time and in its sole discretion. Your Sakara Rewards page is where you can browse Rewards and then redeem Sakara Rewards Points for Rewards with redemption varying in Points.

All Sakara Rewards are offered for a limited time, while supplies last, and provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Quantities of each Reward are limited and you must be a registered Sakara Rewards member in order to redeem offers. Sakara Rewards members may only redeem one of each Reward per transaction. Sakara Rewards Points will be deducted at time of redemption. Rewards are subject to change, alteration, substitution, or termination by Sakara in its sole discretion at any time.

All Rewards are non-transferable, have no cash value (unless required by law) and cannot be sold, returned or exchanged for Sakara Rewards Points, cash, another product, gift card or e-gift certificate unless pursuant to a specific offer from Sakara. Sakara is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged Rewards. You are solely responsible for any taxes incurred by you relating to the receipt of Rewards. Rewards can only be shipped to addresses in the contiguous United States. See specific Rewards for any additional terms and conditions.

Redeeming a Reward

Rewards available for redemption online require a priced merchandise purchase.

If your online order is not completed during the same visit, the Rewards will remain in your shopping basket. However, they may no longer be available when you return and complete the order. You are not required to redeem a Reward during checkout. In the event a Reward arrives damaged, you received the wrong one, or one is missing from your order, please contact Sakara customer service via email at help@sakaralife.com.

Online Order Cancellation

Because all Rewards redeemed online are shipped with merchandise orders, if you cancel an item from your order and that cancellation drops your Sakara Rewards Points balance below the required Sakara Rewards Points to redeem the Reward, you will still receive the Reward as long as other merchandise is being shipped. It is possible your account could have a negative balance if you do not have enough Sakara Rewards Points in your account because of the item cancellation. If your entire order is cancelled by you, any Reward will not ship because a merchandise purchase is required and the redeemed Sakara Rewards Points will be re-credited to your account.

Redeemed Sakara Rewards Points will be re-credited if an order is cancelled by Sakara.

Samples and all other promotional items are shipped with merchandise orders only. If part of your order is cancelled, the samples and/or other promotional items in your order will ship with the rest of your merchandise order. If your entire order is cancelled, the samples and/or other promotional items will not ship because a merchandise purchase is required.
