Atlantic Institute Terms and Conditions

These terms were last modified on March 15, 2017.

Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”)  carefully before using atlanticinstitute.com (“the Site”) operated by Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy, LLC (“us”, “we”, or “our”). This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Site at atlanticinstitute.com.

By accessing or using the Site in any manner, including, but not limited to, visiting or browsing the Site, purchasing from the Site, or contributing content or other materials to the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

The Site and its original content, features and functionality are owned by Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy, LLC and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

You may not reproduce this material whether by digital or physical without our written consent.  You may “share” our information through the share buttons on our site, which automatically attribute the information to Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy, LLC and this site.

In the event we have created a downloadable file link, you may print and share the file as long as you do not alter it in any way.  We may terminate your access to the Site, without notice, if our security or brand is at risk.  In the event that you have been banned from our site, you may contact us in an attempt to resolve the matter.

We highly encourage you to know your username and password as banning happens most often from repeated attempts to log in with incorrect credentials.  While we’d like to believe that we’re invincible, we are human.  We all know that humans aren’t perfect.  In the event that we’ve made an error in packing your order, we will correct it in a timely fashion.  Timely meaning, as quickly as we shipped your order to begin with.  We have been in those shoes and know how it feels.  And, we will not charge you for our mistake.  We will be responsible for any shipping in this case.

The majority of our products are non-refundable due to copyright.  We offer replacement for goods damaged in transit only.

At this time, we only ship through USPS Priority Mail.  You will receive a tracking number for your package.

We’re as worried about your online safety as we are about you using essential oils safely.

For that reason, we prefer to have your actual payment handled by a site that’s set up for serious security.  We’re secure, but PayPal is more secure.  You do not have to have a PayPal account in order to pay by credit card through their system.  When you check out on our site, you will be redirected to the PayPal site where you can be assured that the security is at the utmost level.

After payment, you will be directed back to our site and it will show that your order has been placed.  You will also receive an email confirmation of the order and payment.  Our Site does contain links to third-party sites that are not owned or controlled by Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy, LLC.  While we make every attempt to link to safe sites, we can make no guarantees for another entity’s property.  Please use common sense, read other sites’ policies before using them.  Once you leave our site, we have no responsibility for your privacy or safety.  Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy, LLC has two kinds of affiliation.

1)  We are an affiliate for products that fall within our realm but not our actual stock (for instance, book recommendations).  We only recommend those products we’ve found highly valuable.

2)  We have affiliates who are in areas similar to ours.  These affiliates are hand-picked due to their care about proper use and safety.  At any time, if you witness one of our affiliates giving unsafe suggestions, please take a screenshot and inform us immediately.

For our affiliates:  You may not suggest any improper usage.  If you are proven by screenshot to be imparting unsafe usage, your affiliate membership will be terminated immediately and all unpaid commissions will be forfeited. You know it happens.  Someone skirts terms and they have to be changed to adjust.  We reserve the right to change these terms.  We encourage you to review these terms periodically.  If you don’t agree with the terms, don’t use the Site.
