Understanding the Terms of Use
Before diving into the cancellation process, it's crucial to understand the Terms of Use that govern your use of the Mayo Clinic Diet services, provided by Digital Wellness. By accessing or using the services, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Commitment Contracts and Renewal Policies
The Mayo Clinic Diet offers various commitment contracts, including pay-per-month plans (3, 6, and 12 months) with discounted monthly rates and up-front payment plans for further discounts. For your convenience, all membership plans automatically renew after the initial contract period. From time to time, special, discounted recurring long-term commitment plans with upfront or monthly billing for payment may be available.
Cancellation and Refund Policies
If you would like to cancel your membership at any time prior to the end of your commitment plan period, please contact us. To cancel your automatic renewal, please visit your Account. You must cancel at least 1 day prior to your renewal date. We do not offer refunds. However, if you change your mind or cannot complete your contract, we may allow you to downgrade to a shorter-term plan and pay the difference, if any, in the contracted monthly rate.
Payment and Billing Information
It is your responsibility to notify Digital Wellness of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment. Your right to use a paid service is conditional upon their receipt of payment. Unless specifically requested, they do not send a receipt following an automatic renewal. All fees are nonrefundable. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or if a charge is refunded for any reason, including chargeback, they reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your access and account. You agree that in the event they are unable to collect the fees you owe us for the products or services specified in your order, they may take any other steps they deem necessary to collect such fees from you, and that you will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, interest, court costs and attorneys’ fees.
