You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the Ryza, you will first contact Ryza and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, arbitration pursuant to the procedures set forth below. 

After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of our products or services, including the Services, or otherwise arising under these Terms, will be resolved by arbitration.  You and Ryza agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, as administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then current commercial arbitration rules (the “AAA Rules”).  Arbitration will be conducted in Philadelphia, PA in the English language by a single arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.  Any judgment or award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties, and may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.  Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitration and class actions are not permitted.  You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and Ryza are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action, class arbitration, consolidated, multi-district, or collective action, or private attorney general action lawsuit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Ryza will have the right to bring an action in the state courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator, for Ryza to protect its confidential information or intellectual property rights, or to remove you as a participant in any class action, class arbitration, consolidated, multi-district, or collective action, or private attorney general action lawsuit. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts for such actions.  You and Ryza shall each bear and pay its own fees associated with the arbitration, including any filing, administrative, arbitrator fees, attorneys’ fees, and experts’ fees.   

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@RyzaGrow.com.  The notice must be sent to Ryza within 30 days of you registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms.  The opt-out notice must include: (a) your name; (b) the email address associated with your Ryza account; (c) your mailing address; and (d) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Ryza through arbitration.  This notification affects these Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with Ryza or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms  shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and Ryza.  If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Ryza also will not be bound by them.

Any claim you may have against Ryza must be brought within six (6) months after the cause of the claim arises, or such claim is barred.  A printed version of these Terms and of any related notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.  Please contact Ryza if you wish to receive a printed copy of these Terms.

You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Ryza, you will first contact Ryza and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, arbitration pursuant to the procedures set forth below. 

 After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of our products or services, including the Products and Additional Services, or otherwise arising under these Sales Terms, will be resolved by arbitration.  You and Ryza agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, as administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then current commercial arbitration rules (the “AAA Rules”).  Arbitration will be conducted in Philadelphia, PA in the English language by a single arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.  Any judgment or award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties, and may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.  Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitration and class actions are not permitted.  You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and Ryza are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action, class arbitration, consolidated, multi-district, or collective action, or private attorney general action lawsuit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Ryza will each have the right to bring an action in the state courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator, for Ryza to protect its confidential information or intellectual property rights, or to remove you as a participant in any class action, class arbitration, consolidated, multi-district, or collective action, or private attorney general action lawsuit. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts for such actions.  You and Ryza shall each bear and pay its own fees associated with the arbitration, including any filing, administrative, arbitrator fees, attorneys’ fees, and experts’ fees. 

 You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to support@Ryzagrow.com.  The notice must be sent to Ryza within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Sales Terms, unless a longer period is required by applicable law, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Sales Terms.  The opt-out notice must include: (a) your name; (b) the email address associated with your Ryza account; (c) your mailing address; and (d) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Ryza through arbitration.  This notification affects these Sales Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with Ryza or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Sales Terms  shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and Ryza.  If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Ryza also will not be bound by them.      

Any claim you may have against Ryza must be brought within six (6) months after the cause of the claim arises, or such claim is barred.  A printed version of these Terms and of any related notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.  Please contact Ryza if you wish to receive a printed copy of these Terms.

Refund Policy

Last Updated: November 15, 2022

RyzaPods Refund Policy

 FIRST MONTH

RyzaGrow.com (“Ryza”) offers a limited 30-day refund policy for legitimate purchases of its Ryza Pods product. 

If any product supplied by Ryza through the RyzaGrow.com website fails because of a proven defect in workmanship, improper sterilization, or material within 30 days from the date of original purchase, in each case as determined by Ryza at its sole good faith discretion, Ryza may, at its sole option, provide a refund to the original method of payment or provide a replacement product in lieu of a refund.  If Ryza elects to replace the product, the customer may be required to pay for shipping and handling for the replacement product.

APPLICABILITY AND LIMITATIONS

 This refund policy is applicable only to products sold retained within the Fifty States of the U.S.A. and District of Columbia.  This refund policy is not applicable to products which have been innoculated or otherwise contaminated by operation of the user, or damaged during shipment.  Contamination during mushroom cultivation is inevitable in some cases and is not covered by this policy.

ELIGIBILITY AND PROOF OF PURCHASE

 In order to be eligible under this policy, customer must provide original proof of purchase (such as a Ryza sales receipt or delivery slip) in order to establish the date of purchase of Ryza products.   The Ryza product must have been purchased directly from Ryza’s website at the RyzaGrow.com domain, the product must be unused and in the same condition that it was received and in its original packaging, and the customer must notify Ryza no later than 30 days following the date of purchase (the "Refund Period").  The product is not eligible for a refund or replacement after the 30-day Refund Period.  Customers who received their Ryza product through a testing program, promotion, or giveaway are not eligible for any refund or replacement.

INITIATING REFUNDS

 To initiate a refund, the customer must inform Ryza within the Refund Period by contacting Ryza customer support and emailing support@ryzagrow.com, and clearly stating the owner’s desire for a refund or replacement of the product.  To be eligible for a refund, the customer must provide a receipt or proof of purchase for the defective product.  Ryza also requests that the customer include details on the reason for requesting a refund for the product and the nature of the product defect, with any supporting documents such as pictures.  

Once a refund request with all required documentation is received and reviewed, Ryza will notify the customer and provide confirmation of the approval or rejection of the refund request and whether a refund or replacement will be provided.  If a refund was approved, Ryza will refund the price the customer paid for the product, exclusive of the original delivery cost, less the value of any promotional merchandise or discounts the owner received. Shipping costs are non-refundable.  If a replacement product was approved, Ryza will provide the customer with the shipping and tracking information for the replacement product, after the customer pays any applicable shipping costs. 

 If the product was purchased as part of a bundle of multiple products sold together at a discount, Ryza will not provide a refund if the request is only for part of the bundle, and all of the products sold together in that bundle must be defective in order to receive any refund.  

​Ryza will process the refund due to customers as soon as possible.

 GIFTS

 If the product was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to the product owner, the owner (if eligible for a refund) will receive a gift receipt for the value of the defective product.  Once the refund request is received and approved by Ryza, a gift certificate or Ryza account credit will be provided to the original customer who purchased the product.

 LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

 THE REFUND OR REPLACEMENT OF PRODUCTS AS STATED HEREIN CONSTITUTES CUSTOMERS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, TO THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RYZA HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, OR MERCHANTABILITY.  RYZA HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF RYZA’S PRODUCTS.
