Product Return Policy
Product Exchange
8HOURZ warrants the quality of its products and shall exchange any defective product. Anyone returning a damaged or defective product must complete the Associate Product Exchange or Return. Product exchanges made for the purpose of favorable gain through maximizing commissions or manipulating the Binary Compensation Plan (as evidenced through patterns observed outside of the average Associate pattern of exchanges) will not be honored and are considered a material breach of the Associate Agreement.
Thirty (30) Day Return Policy
Retail Customers
8HOURZ obligates its Associates to honor the Company’s 100 percent, unconditional, 30-day, money-back guarantee to all retail customers. If for any reason a retail customer is dissatisfied with any 8HOURZ product, he/she may return the product to the Associate from whom the product was purchased within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase for a replacement, exchange, or full refund of the purchase price. If the retail customer requests a refund, the Associate who sold the product to the retail customer must immediately refund the retail customer’s purchase price. (Retail customers must return merchandise to the Associate who sold it to them; 8HOURZ will not accept returned merchandise directly from retail customers.) The Associate, in turn, should complete a Dissatisfied Consumer Product Return and forward the form along with the original sales receipt and returned merchandise to 8HOURZ. 8HOURZ will then replace the returned merchandise with like product and ship it to the Associate. All retail customers must be provided with two copies of an official 8HOURZ Retail Sales Receipt at the time of the sale. The back of the receipt provides the customer with written notice of his/her rights to cancel the sales agreement.
Preferred Customers
8HOURZ offers Preferred Customers, and retail customers who order directly from an official 8HOURZ Web site, a 100 percent, 30-day, money back guarantee on their initial product order. If for any reason a Preferred Customer is dissatisfied with any 8HOURZ product, he/she may return that product to the Company within thirty (30) days for replacement, exchange, or full refund of the purchase price. If a Preferred Customer returns merchandise equal to or exceeding $100.00 US, this will be deemed a Voluntary Cancellation. For all other returns, the Company shall repurchase the inventory pursuant to the terms of section 7.3. Moreover, the Company will adjust the appropriate Associates’ sales volume pursuant to section 6.2
