damage or interfere with the proper working of the Site;
intercept any Content or information that we have not intentionally made available
to you or defeat any access controls that we have implemented;
give you access to the Site or Content using any interface other than the interface

In addition to our other legal rights, we may limit or terminate your license to

No Professional Advice or Medical Information The Site does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and the
information included on the Site is offered for informational purposes only. Some
portions of the Site may allow you to submit questions either to us or to third
parties who have agreed to communicate with our users. Although we provide information
about our products through the Site, neither our employees nor these third parties
are authorized to provide medical or other professional advice through the Site.
We also have not confirmed the qualifications of any third party who provides information
through the Site, even if that third party lists his or her qualifications. As a
result, you should never use the information you obtain on the Site for diagnosis
or treatment of any health problem or in place of any medication or other treatment
prescribed by a physician or other healthcare provider.
Please consult with your physician or other healthcare provider if you have
health-related questions before using any of our products or relying on any information
you obtain on the Site. You should discuss any medications or nutritional
supplements you are using with a healthcare provider before using any new medications
or supplements.
The statements on the Site have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug
Administration. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent
any disease.
Privacy Our Privacy Policy describes
our practices with regard to personal information that we collect through the Site.
The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference, and by using the
Site you agree to our use of any information that we collect from you in conformance
with our Privacy Policy.
User Submissions The Site may allow you to submit or transmit audio, video, text, or other
materials (collectively, “User Submissions”) to or through the Site. When you provide
User Submissions, you grant to the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual,
worldwide, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify,
adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute and display
such content throughout the world in any media, whether now known or hereafter invented,
including for commercial or marketing purposes, and to use your name or likeness
alone or in connection with such uses.
Except as provided in our Privacy Policy, we do not guarantee that User Submissions
will be private, even if the User Submission is in a password-protected area. Accordingly,
you should not provide User Submissions that you want protected from disclosure.
By providing User Submissions through the Site, you represent, warrant and covenant
that you own those User Submissions or otherwise have the right to grant to us the
rights described in this section. You further represent, warrant and covenant that
the User Submissions:
will be accurate and will comply with these Terms;
will not cause injury to any person or entity, including as used by us in accordance
with these Terms;
will not include medical or other professional advice;
will not be false, fraudulent, libelous, defamatory, sexually explicit, obscene,
threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, illegal or otherwise
objectionable;
will not constitute or encourage a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party,
including intellectual property rights, or otherwise give rise to liability or violate
any law;
will not contain software viruses, political campaigning, chain letters, mass mailings,
or any form of “spam”; and
will not contain advertising or other commercial material, except with our prior
written consent.
We may refuse or remove a User Submission without notice for any reason, including
our belief that a User Submission may violate these Terms or be otherwise objectionable.
However, we have no obligation to monitor User Submissions, and you agree that neither
we nor our employees or agents will be liable for User Submissions or any loss or
damage to you and any other person or entity resulting from User Submissions.
Links to Third Party Site The Site may contain links to other sites that are not operated by our family
of companies. These links are provided as a convenience to you. However, we do not
represent that we have endorsed or evaluated the information on those other sites.
Your relationship with the operators of these third-party sites is governed by the
terms and conditions and privacy policy, if any, of those sites, and not by these
Terms. Therefore, you should review those documents before using the third-party
services.
Commercial Transactions The Site allows you to purchase products or services. To purchase any products
or services on the Site, you must (a) be at least eighteen years of age, (b) provide
us with valid payment information associated with a credit card or other payment
method that you are authorized to use, and (c) authorize us to charge your credit
card or other payment method for the price of the products or services that you
request, together with any taxes, fees, or shipping charges described on the Site.
We stand behind the products and services that we sell, and we will list the return
policy that will apply to purchases from the Site. In general, we accept returns
for a limited period of time following a purchase, and your sole remedy if you are
dissatisfied with a product that you have purchased through the Site will be to
return the unused portion of the product for a refund. After the return period has
expired, all sales are final, and we will not accept returns or issue refunds.
In offering product descriptions on the Site, we attempt to be accurate, but we
do not warrant that any product description is accurate, complete, or error-free,
nor do we represent that any product will diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any
disease. If you receive a product and believe that it materially differs from the
product description, your sole remedy will be to return the product to us for a
refund in conformance with the return policy listed on the Site. Likewise, we attempt
to list the current price for each product that we sell, but a small number of products
may be mis-priced. In these cases, we will notify you before shipping the product
of the corrected price and will either cancel your order or give you an opportunity
to cancel your order or decide to keep your order.
International Orders By confirming your order for shipment outside the United States, you agree
to the additional terms contained in this section.
If any package is returned to us because of an incorrect address, because you refuse
the package, or for any other reason other than solely because of our error, you
will be responsible for our shipping cost for the return and reshipment of the package.
If the cost to return the package to us exceeds the cost of the goods ordered, or
if you have ordered products that we are informed cannot be imported into the country
of intended delivery, we may instruct the shipping company to abandon the package,
but even if we do so, you will remain responsible for payment.
Additionally, you are considered the importer of record for all shipments from us,
and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country of destination and
all laws and regulations the United States imposed of exports to that country. You
agree to pay any fees, fines, or other costs charged to us or to you in connection
with any non-compliance with laws and regulations of the country of destination.
If we decide to allow return of an item that has been rejected because of import
or other legal compliance issues, we will refund the purchase price of the merchandise,
less any charges we incurred in connection with the shipment, such as quarantine
fees, exam fees, demurrage charges, or warehousing fees assessed in the destination
country or in the United States upon return of the goods, and less the shipping
costs to return the package to us.

Disclaimers Your use of the Site is at your sole risk. The Site is provided on an
“as is” and “as available” basis. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate
your access to the Site or any feature or part thereof at any time. We expressly
disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including the implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and any warranties
that materials on the Site are non-infringing, as well as warranties implied from
a course of performance or course of dealing; that access to the Site will be uninterrupted
or error-free; that the Site will be secure; that the Site or the servers that makes
the Site available will be virus-free or otherwise free of harmful components; or
that information on the Site will be complete, accurate or timely. If you download
any materials from the Site, you do so at your own discretion and risk. You will
be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that
results from the download of any such materials. No advice or information, whether
oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from the Site will create
any warranty of any kind. We do not make any warranties or representations regarding
the use of the materials on the Site in terms of their completeness, correctness,
accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, timeliness, reliability or otherwise.
In certain states, the law may not permit the disclaimer of warranties, so the above
disclaimer may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, neither we, nor our
suppliers or third party content providers, will be liable for any direct, indirect,
punitive, exemplary, incidental, special, consequential or other damages arising
out of or in any way related to: (1) the Site (including any delay or inability
to use the Site), (2) any information, products or services advertised in or obtained
through the Site, or (3) our removal or deletion of any materials submitted or posted
on the Site, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even
if we or any of our suppliers have been advised of the possibility of damages.
Your sole and exclusive remedy for any claims or disputes involving us that are
not waived by these Terms will be to discontinue your use of the Site and to seek
a refund of the money you paid to us, if any, during the three months preceding
your initiation of the claim or dispute. (Such a refund, in any case, will be governed
by the applicable refund policy and the terms of sale specified on the Site or in
these Terms.)
Indemnification You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its officers,
directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, subcontractors
and suppliers from and against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages
and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising from or
in connection with your use of the Site or our products or services or any violation
or alleged violation by you of these Terms or applicable law. We reserve the right,
at our own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise
subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with
us in the defense of such matter. You may not settle any claim covered by this Section
or admit any liability on the part of the Company without the Company’s prior written
approval.
Jurisdiction and Venue The laws of the State of New York govern these Terms and any dispute of any
sort that may arise between you and the Company or its affiliates, without regard
to conflict of laws rules, as if entered into by residents of New York and fully
performed therein. You irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in or serving Suffolk County, New York for any action relating
to the Site or these Terms. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms,
we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.
Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, you must file any claim or action
related to use of the Site or these Terms within one year after such claim or action
accrued. Otherwise, you will waive the claim or action.
Changes to These Terms of Use We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change these Terms at any
time by posting revised terms on the Site. It is your responsibility to check periodically
for any changes we may make to these Terms. Your continued use of the Site following
the posting of changes to these terms or other policies means you accept the changes.
Entire Agreement; Severability; No Waiver These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy incorporated within them by
reference and any policies that we post on the Site, constitute the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between
the parties with respect to such subject matter. If any provision of these terms
is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain
in place and the invalidated provision will be deemed replaced by an enforceable
provision that most closely reflects the intent of the parties.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not
constitute a waiver of that right or provision or any other rights or provisions
included within the Terms.
Use in conjunction with an intense daily exercise program and
a balanced diet including an adequate caloric intake. It is important to check with your healthcare
practitioner before beginning any diet or exercise program. This program may not
be appropriate for all individuals.
