When signing up for a smol plan you are agreeing to our regular tailored service of laundry capsules delivered to your stated delivery address.

The smol plan is a tailor-made subscription based on criteria you specified about your washing patterns on smolproducts.com upon completion and registration of your customer account. When you register for an account, you will automatically be subscribed to a regular order and delivery of Products from smolproducts.com. For the avoidance of any doubt, by ordering Products on our Site, you are signing up to a periodic subscription with us and you agree to pay the then current applicable order price communicated to you on the Site. Your subscription will continue in line with the washing patterns you have chosen unless or until you change that pattern or cancel your subscription, or we terminate it.

The total price will be charged to the payment card we hold on your account for you at the time of the order processing for each specific order.
If you cancel your smol plan and subsequently reactivate at a different time, the price for the smol plan subscription may be a different price to the price in effect for the smol plan at the time of cancellation.
The price that we will charge you for your smol plan may change at any time, with appropriate notice to you.
Cancellation
Once you have received at least one regular 24-capsule laundry pack, you can cancel your smol plan online within the “your details” section of your customer account. You can also cancel your subscription at any time by emailing us with your name and address at hi@smolproducts.com. Details for how to cancel your subscription can be found on our FAQ page.
The estimated delivery date for upcoming orders is visible on your customer account (see the deliveries schedule). Your subscription must be cancelled at least 24 hours before your next scheduled delivery date to ensure you are not billed for this shipment. Orders may still be charged and delivered if your notification of cancellation is less than 24 hours before your next scheduled delivery date.

Products ordered from us will be delivered by the USPS to addresses within the continental United States.
Your trial pack will typically be delivered within two to eight business days of your first order. Future deliveries run on a regular schedule according to the information supplied to us by you upon registration. Your delivery schedule is visible to you in the customer account on the website.

- If a fault is agreed on our part, and/or refund agreed, we will aim to refund you within 10 business days. The refund will cover the cost of the Products being returned.
For deliveries which have subsequently been returned to us due to either:
- Customer not collecting from the post office

then the delivery can be refunded or resent, however a $2 contribution towards re-postage will need to be charged.
Termination or Refusal by us
We reserve the right to terminate, suspend, refuse or cancel your account and/or subscription order at any time at our sole discretion without notice or explanation. If we do this, you will only be charged for orders that have been shipped to you. Upon termination, you shall immediately cease all usage of the Site and Services and we shall, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, immediately revoke all passwords and account details issued to you and deny your access to, and use of, the Site and Services in whole or in part.

Introductory/Member Offers and Discounts
From time to time we may present special offers to new and/or existing customers.
Where we make such offers, introductory offers are only available to new users of the website. Users who have previously registered for the smol plan do not qualify for an additional offer, unless expressly stated. “Users who have previously registered” refers to any combination of: a user with a user account at smolproducts.com, a credit or debit card, a credit or debit card holder, a delivery address, a cardholder address, or a household, who or which has previously made use of, or been directly associated with, the smolproducts.com service.
At our sole discretion, we may restrict who may enter into offers for any reason.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all offers, including but not limited to the trial offer, are limited to one per household.
We may cancel any special offer, introductory offer or discount at any time without notice or explanation.
Promotional discounts and offers are available for limited time periods only.
Delivery charges may apply to trial orders.
The Friend Get Friend scheme allows existing smolproducts.com customers to share their unique Friend Get Friend codes with their friends, enabling them to trial the smolproducts.com service at a discount. Friend Get Friend codes can only be used by new customers who have not previously had a smolproducts.com account or delivery (therefore previously registered users cannot use a Friend Get Friend code). Existing smolproducts.com customers cannot use Friend Get Friend codes, and customers cannot use their own unique Friend Get Friend codes on their own account.
Once an existing smolproducts.com customer (“referrer”) has referred a friend with their Friend Get Friend code and the referred friend has both signed up using that code and received their first smolproducts.com delivery, the referrer will receive a discount off their next delivery. This credit cannot be applied retrospectively.
Each customer is able to refer a maximum of 10 friends and earn a maximum of 10 referral rewards. We reserve the right to increase or decrease these limits at any time, at our sole discretion and without prior notification or explanation.
We reserve the right to put any user account(s) on hold and prevent outgoing deliveries, and/or remove any Friend Get Friend credit from any user account(s) where we become aware of or detect any abuse or unfair treatment of an offer or Friend Get Friend referral code(s) and associated reward(s).
When sharing your Friend Get Friend code you may not mimic or misrepresent smolproducts.com or otherwise mislead people to believe that they are dealing with smolproducts.com or affiliates. We require you to sign up with a customer account at smolproducts.com in order to redeem any offer. This process is detailed in the “Account Registration and Management" section, and specifically this registration process includes you registering valid payment and delivery details. This includes registering for free and discounted offers.
Except where otherwise stated, discounts and credits cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers.
smolproducts.com reserve the right to remove unclaimed Friend Get Friend credit after 6 months. Once an account has been inactive for 12 months (defined as there being no deliveries in the preceding 12 months) we reserve the right to remove Friend Get Friend credit whether it has been claimed or not. Any Friend Get Friend credit (whether claimed or not) on an account that is cancelled is immediately removed.
Purchase of our Products is only via the smolproducts.com website, and requires a registered customer account with valid payment and delivery details to redeem a free or discounted offer, or to redeem credit on an account.
You cannot redeem account credits and offers for cash.
After any discounted offer you will be charged the full price for subsequent orders until such time as another applicable and valid discounted offer is applied, or you cancel active subscriptions and orders with us.
These terms of service can be changed at any time.
The smol Money-Back Guarantee
We hope you love our smol Products. However, if for any reason your experience isn’t satisfactory, we will refund you the original order price of that Product under the smolproducts.com money-back guarantee.
To claim under the smol money-back guarantee we require you to contact us at hi@smolproducts.com within 10 days of the capsules arriving at your nominated delivery address. The email must be sent to us from the email address associated and registered with your account (to confirm that you are the account holder), and must include details of why you wish to submit a claim under the money-back guarantee.
It is your responsibility to arrange return of the remaining portion of the pack to us. When you contact us, we will provide our returns address. You must pay for the cost of the return.
The amount refunded will be for the items for which the claim under the money-back guarantee is made. The original order price means the final price paid after any promotional discounts or account credits have been redeemed or applied for that purchase.
We will arrange a refund within a reasonable period of the initial email being received by us from you, provided the product has been returned to us. This will be repaid onto the card registered to your customer account and we will notify you once this refund has been issued – it can take up to 10 business days from this point for the payment to be credited to your bank account.
The smol money-back guarantee only applies to the first delivery on your smolproducts.com account and claims are limited to one per household and / or smolproducts.com customer account holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Services shall not be subject to arbitration.
For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the state of New York and smol and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
