  1. Prices/ ESF. Pricing and pricing plans for the Services have been or will be communicated to you separately by us.
    1. If your pricing plan is based upon each separate client appointment, our fee will be an Environmental Stewardship Fee or “ESF” for each such appointment, which you permitted to itemize separately in your invoice to your clients.   For this plan, you must report to us no later than the 5th day of each calendar month, the number of ESF transactions that occurred in the prior calendar month. The following transactions are exempt from the ESF:  (1) purchases of hair products without services, (2) clients receiving complimentary services or for which a refund was issued; and (3), such other services which we may agree to in writing.
    2. Alternatively, your pricing plan may be a fixed monthly fee, based upon a mutually agreeable estimate of the average number of ESF transactions in a month.
    3. On a monthly basis, we will invoice you our fee for Services, based upon your applicable pricing plan, plus all applicable taxes on such fees.  Invoices are due upon receipt and are subject to a 2% late payment charge for overdue payments. 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.
    4. Terms of payment are within our sole discretion.  We accept approved credit cards for all purchases. You agree, 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 such credit card for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honoured by your credit card company, (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the invoiced prices, including all applicable taxes (v) we may charge your credit card for invoiced amounts immediately upon issuing the invoice.   We will send you a receipt for all payments to the email address you provide.
    5. Prices and pricing plans are subject to change upon 60 days written notice from us to you.
  2. Packing and Shipping of the Materials.  You will collect, package, and send us the Materials by “hAIRmail” (collections services via 3rd party courier) in shipping boxes provided by us.

All of your shipments sent to us must comply with the following restrictions:  (1) You agree to only ship Materials to us; (2) You will not include in any shipment any unauthorized items or items that may cause damage or injury in transit. You will be notified of any packing and shipping violations and we reserve the right to apply an additional charge for any packing violations that are reoccurring and/or not remedied.
