By Humankind, Inc. will provide product return information within three (3) business days of email receipt. All return requests must be made within thirty (30) days of the date of shipment by By Humankind, Inc. Promptly following By Humankind Inc.'s receipt of your returned product (typically within three (3) business days), By Humankind, Inc. will credit the amount paid for the returned Product (less any shipping and handling costs/fees related to the original purchase, which are non-refundable) to the Payment Method you used to make the original purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, By Humankind, Inc. does not control when a specific credit card or payment method company processes a chargeback transaction. You are responsible for contacting your credit card or payment method company if you have questions about the status of the chargeback.

- Security. This website takes precautions to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information when processing a transaction on the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our log in/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers becomes locked (as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’). While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take measures to protect user information off-line. Because our website is an extension of By Humankind, the store and online inventory and customer databases are linked. However, we do not store credit card numbers from online transactions and, at log in, users are offered the option of not having their billing or shipping address details stored in our customer database. If such an option is exercised, those details will remain only on the customer order form, which is necessary to track customer orders. Access to the customer database is limited to those employees with a need to perform specific functions (such as shipping, order transaction, customer service, billing) and each access is password protected. All email communication regarding sales orders will refer to credit card numbers only by their final four digits.

By Humankind, Inc. will automatically renew your Membership on each monthly anniversary date of the Membership (or bi-monthly, or third month anniversary date, depending on the subscription selections you make) and, as authorized by you by checking the box demonstrating your consent for automatic monthly renewal of your Membership during the sign-up process, we will charge your Payment Method with the applicable Membership fee and any shipping and handling costs and sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your Membership fee payments.
