TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE
Credit/Bank Card Processing.
You may experience credit card/bank card processing issues regarding the sale of Products due to issues relating to the regulation and enforcement of the Laws. You are strongly encouraged to investigate all payment processing issues prior to the execution of the Agreement. In no event shall processing issues relieve or excuse you from paying all fees, costs, charges, etc., that we invoice to you.
Order Acceptance and Cancellation.
You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all products and services listed in your order. All orders must be accepted by us or we will not be obligated to sell the products or services to you. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after we send you a confirmation email with your order number and details of the items you have ordered.
We reserve the right but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.
We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the Service will be corrected.
Shipping and Mailing Products.
We ship through the United States Postal Service (USPS). In addition to USPS, other methods of shipping include UPS, DHL, and FedEx (collectively, “Carriers”). Due to the potential or actual conflict(s) of federal, state, and local laws and regulations, (collectively “Laws”), we cannot and do not warrant or represent to you that any hemp or hemp derivative product (collectively, “Products”) will reach the intended destination, regardless of which mailing/shipping service is utilized. Products may be subject to forfeiture, seizure, indefinite hold, unexpected delays, confiscation, and other losses to you or impediments to the delivery of the Product. We have no control over shipping carrier routes. While a destination for the product may be in a “low-risk” city or state, shipments routed through “high-risk” states, cities, or municipalities may result in a partial or total loss to you.
Prices and Payment Terms.
All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on this Site are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price advertised on this Site at the time the order is placed, subject to the terms of any promotions or discounts that may be applicable. The price charged will be clearly stated in your order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after the time of the increase. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your total price and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation email when applicable. We strive to display accurate price information, however, we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.
Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We accept the following credit cards: VISA, MASTERCARD, and AMERICAN EXPRESS., for all purchases. You represent and warrant that (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use a such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Site at the time of your order. In the event you enter into a separate contract with us for payment terms that differ from the above, we may charge a late payment penalty of 1.5% per month on undisputed amounts, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Without waiving any of our other rights or remedies, we may refuse additional orders and suspend any services until all overdue amounts are paid in full.
Shipments; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss.
We will arrange for the shipment of the products to you. Please check the individual product page for specific delivery options. You will pay all shipping and handling charges unless otherwise specified in the order confirmation.
Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the products to the carrier/delivery. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.
You understand the packaging and closure of a product may vary slightly if we do not have the ability to successfully secure the same packaging that has been represented in order to ensure we are shipping a product in a timely manner due to supply chain issues that may arise.
Returns and Refunds.
Except for any products designated on the Site as non-returnable, we will accept a return for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs, provided such a return is made within 30 calendar days of shipment with valid proof of purchase and provided such products are returned to us. To return products, you must email our team by submitting the form on our returns page (https://awakencbd.com/pages/returns/). You must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA“) number before shipping your product. No returns of any type will be accepted without an RMA number.
You are responsible for all shipping and handling charges on returned items unless otherwise specified. You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection.
Refunds are processed within approximately three to fifteen (3-15) business days of our receipt of your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original purchase on the Site. WE OFFER NO REFUNDS ON ANY PRODUCTS DESIGNATED ON THIS SITE AS NON-RETURNABLE.
Awaken CBD is not responsible for melting or other damage caused by heat exposure during shipping. Most products are fine and will not melt in transit. However, some types of products such as Gummies can melt in warm weather. We can’t guarantee our heat-sensitive products will arrive in perfect shape – but we will do our best to ensure they do. Here is how you can help: Be present for delivery and have someone available to accept the package so it doesn’t sit outside in the heat. If the box feels warm, open it immediately to expose the product to the cooler air. Also, give the product a chance to firm up again before handling further. Please keep in mind, we do not accept returns or provide refunds for a melted products due to warm weather. If you are concerned about the possibility of receiving a heat-sensitive product, and it is melted, we encourage you to order a different product.

Dispute Resolution
In the event of any claims, disputes, or other controversies arising out of, or relating to, these Terms and Conditions, the use of this website or information obtained through this website, or any other claims, disputes, or controversies arising out of or relating to this website, or any other World Wide Website owned, operated, licensed or controlled by us (the “Dispute” and together the “Disputes”), you agree to resolve any Dispute by submitting the Dispute to Retired Judges and Associates through its offices located in Louisville, Kentucky (the “ADR Firm” see retiredjudgesmediation.com), or its successor, for mediation. Any party to the Dispute may commence mediation by providing ADR Firm and the other parties a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with ADR Firm and with one another in selecting a mediator from ADR Firm’s panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings promptly, not later than thirty (30) days after such request for mediation. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts, and attorneys, and by the mediator or any ADR Firm employees, are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
If the Dispute is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the then-current form of AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) before one arbitrator, selected by the agreement of the parties and, failing such agreement within thirty (30) days of the Dispute being submitted for arbitration, by AAA in accordance with the Rules. All hearings shall be held in Louisville, KY, USA. If AAA ceases to exist and has no successor, then the parties shall submit the Dispute to an established alternative dispute resolution entity in Louisville, Kentucky. Any party may initiate arbitration with respect to the Disputes submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case. The provisions of this clause may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees, and expenses, including attorney fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.
THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS YOU ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IS MANDATORY AND BINDING.
The mediation or arbitration of any Dispute shall not be joined or consolidated with the mediation or arbitration of any other Dispute, even if such other Dispute relates to, arises out of, or raises similar factual or legal claims.
Failure to insist on strict performance of any of these Terms and Conditions will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by us of any right under these Terms and Conditions will be deemed either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time. These Terms and Conditions will be governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of Kentucky, United States of America, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law. You specifically consent to personal jurisdiction in Kentucky in connection with any dispute between you and us arising out of or pertaining to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions.
