VENUS DIRECT SUBSCRIPTION
SUBSCRIPTION POLICIES
Subscription program offers the convenience of automatically delivering products you select right to your door on a schedule you set. The Venus Store may also offer discounts and other promotions such as free shipping on items available as a subscription.
PRICE & PROMOTION
The final cost of each subscription order may vary. We will provide you with the total estimated cost for each subscription order. The estimated cost will be the cost of the item on the day we send you an email notice confirming your subscription order plus sales tax, if any. Applicable discounts or promotions in effect at the time we confirm the price of your subscription order will be applied to your order.
PROCESSING AND NOTIFICATIONS
Your first shipment of each Subscription Order you place will be processed immediately after you sign up. The billing and shipping addresses chosen for your initial order will be saved in your account and used on all future orders. You will receive a shipping confirmation email once your package has left the warehouse, at which point your selected payment method will be billed. The estimated billing amount will be included. The total estimated cost will be the cost of the item plus sales tax, if any. Applicable discounts or promotions in effect at the time we confirm the price of your subscription order will be applied to your order. Subscription orders scheduled to be processed over the weekend or a holiday will be placed on the next business day. Unless you make changes to delay or cancel your order, we will charge your selected payment method on the day we process and ship your order. Once an order has been processed and shipped, it is considered the property of the customer and the customer will be billed based on the amount estimated in the order confirmation e-mail. The items may only be returned in accordance with our return policy set forth in the Gillette Policies.
PROBLEMS PROCESSING ORDERS
If any problems arise with the payment method associated with your subscription order, we will notify you via e-mail using the address associated with your Venus account requesting that you resolve the problem. No additional orders will be processed or shipped until the problem has been resolved. In the unlikely event that a Venus Subscription item is not available on the day it is scheduled to be shipped, we will notify you of the delay and will attempt to fulfill the order each day for the next 15 days. If the item does not become available during that period, we will notify you and attempt to place the order for the next 15 days. If the order is still not in stock we will attempt to send the next shipment on the next scheduled date. A Customer Service representative may contact you during this period to determine if there is an appropriate substitute for the item. If a Venus Subscription item is no longer available, we will notify you and automatically cancel your subscription for that item. No additional orders associated with that subscription will be fulfilled. You may update your shipping & billing and/or your preferred payment method at any time. You may also make changes to the delivery schedule of your reminder e-mails at any time.
CANCELLING SUBSCRIPTIONS:
Your subscription and any related Venus Subscription discount(s) will remain in effect until you cancel your subscription. You can cancel scheduled Venus Subscription orders at any time. If you want to cancel an order from the Venus Subscription program, you can do so up to 24 hours before your recurring order is scheduled to be processed without being billed. Your cancellation will immediately go into effect and you will no longer be charged for the subscription item which was cancelled. If it is not cancelled one business day prior to the scheduled order date, your items may be shipped and billed based on your account information for that subscription item.
