Subscriptions

Soma offers various ways for you to receive replacement filters automatically (the “Filters by Mail Program”). These include bi-monthly subscriptions (each, a “Pay as You Go Subscription”), prepaid annual subscriptions (each, a “Prepay and Save Annual Subscription”), special promotions as offered from time-to-time (each, a “Special Promotion”), and prepaid gift subscriptions of twelve months (each, a “Gift Subscription”). IF YOU ORDER a Pay as You Go Subscription or Prepay and Save Annual Subscription, YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE FILTERS BY MAIL PROGRAM WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL IT IS CANCELLED.

Pay as You Go Subscription

The Subscription Period for the bi-monthly Pay as You Go Subscription is two months. Under this subscription, you will be charged every two months (in arrears) for replacement filters.

This subscription will be automatically renewed for successive two-month periods and your payment method will automatically be charged for each successive two-month period at the then-current subscription rate until you cancel such subscription. If you move up a filter shipment date to an earlier day, we will charge you on that day instead, and this will reset the shipment date for the next filter. Going forward, we will send you a replacement filter every two months. We will charge you every two months until you cancel your subscription.

Prepay and Save Annual Subscription

The Subscription Period for the one-year Prepay and Save Annual Subscription is one year. Under this subscription, we will charge you in advance for a one-year supply of replacement filters (six filters total). This subscription does not renew. At the end of the year, your subscription will convert to a Pay as You Go Subscription. Instead, you may buy another Prepay and Save Annual Subscription. To do so, please log into your account and sign up for a new subscription plan.

The Subscription Period for the two year Prepay and Save Annual Subscription is two years. Under this subscription, we will charge you in advance for a two year supply of replacement filters (12 filters total). This subscription does not renew. At the end of the two years, your subscription will convert to a Pay as You Go Subscription. Instead, you may buy another Prepay and Save Annual Subscription. To do so, please log into your account and sign up for a new subscription plan.

Gift Subscription

A Gift Subscription will not automatically renew after the then-current term expires. For Soma to continue sending replacement filters to the Gift Subscription recipient, please place an order for a new Gift Subscription. Gift Subscriptions cannot be cancelled and the prepaid fee for a Gift Subscription is non-refundable.

Special Promotion

Current pricing (including any applicable shipping and handling fees) subscription details, and cancelations for any Special Promotion can be found on the Site at the point of sale of the promotion. Soma does not guarantee that any Special Promotion will be available at any given time, or that any pricing for the Special Promotion will continue to be available. The price you will be charged for any product or subscription will be the price posted on the Site on the date you order such product or subscription.

Soma reserves the right to change prices for products and Special Promotions at any time, and does not provide protection or refunds for Special Promotions.

TERMS OF SALE

Fees

You will be charged a one-time fee for the vessel and filter hardware. Thereafter, you will be charged for replaceable filters. All orders will be subject to applicable shipping and handling fees (as indicated at the time you place your order).

By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use such payment method and that you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge such payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable shipping and handling fees and taxes). If the payment method you provide cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, we will notify you and your order may be suspended or cancelled if you do not resolve the issue promptly. In the event that you want to change or update the payment method (or related information) associated with your Soma account, you can do so at any time by logging into your account and editing your payment method (or related information). You acknowledge that the amount billed may vary due to promotional offers, changes to your order or changes in applicable taxes or other charges, and you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the corresponding amount. Soma, at its sole discretion, may modify its pricing during any Subscription Period (as defined below) and such pricing changes will be effective as of the directly subsequent Subscription Period. For the purposes of these Terms, “Subscription Period” means the period of time within which you will receive replacement filters by mail, as specified for each type of subscription below.

Acknowledgement

If you are purchasing an ongoing subscription to the Filters by Mail Program, you will be billed the amount indicated at the time you purchased your initial subscription, at the times set forth in your subscription. Recurring charges for your subscription will be billed to the payment method you provided to Soma at the times set forth in your subscription until you cancel your subscription by logging into your account and following the cancellation procedures there, or sending Soma a message at hello@drinksoma.com. Visit www.drinksoma.com for more information about Soma’s subscription terms.

Cancellation Policy

To cancel your Pay as You Go Subscription or Prepay and Save Annual Subscription at any time, you may (i) log onto your account and follow the cancellation procedures there, or (ii) send us a message at hello@drinksoma.com and we’ll do it for you. For the Prepay and Save Annual Subscription, please note that Soma will only refund the portion of your subscription payment that corresponds to unshipped filters as of the date of cancellation.

If you do not wish for your Prepay and Save Annual Subscription to automatically convert to a Pay as You Go Subscription at the end of the Subscription Period, visit your account and follow the cancellation instructions or email hello@drinksoma.com. Soma must receive your request to cancel the renewal of your subscription before the shipment of the filter.

Because of the special pricing associated with Special Promotions, no refunds are available for Special Promotions.

FEEDBACK

In the event you elect, in connection with your use of the Services, to communicate to Soma suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”), Soma will be entitled to use (or not to use) the Feedback without restriction, even if you have designated the Feedback as confidential.

ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND SOMA TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH BOTH PARTIES CAN SEEK RELIEF.

You and Soma will arbitrate any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or related to these Terms or the Service, except that neither you nor Soma is required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU AND Soma FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Soma will notify each other of any dispute within 30 days of when it arises and attempt informal resolution before any demand for arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted confidentially in San Francisco, California, by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS (or its successor). Except as expressly provided in these Terms, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law, and the award and determination of the arbitrator will bind the parties and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will equally share the expenses of the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines to apportion fees and expenses differently. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE APPLICATION, AND NEITHER you NOR Soma will commence against the other a class action, class ARBITRATION, or other representative action or proceeding.

You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate (“opt out”) by sending Soma a written opt-out notice (the “ Opt-Out Notice ”) to hello@drinksoma.com within 30 days after the date you accept these Terms for the first time. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone number, and email address. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply.
