SUBSCRIPTION/BILLING: At THE FINER THINGS, we offer one type of Box Membership. Please review these THE FINER THINGS Membership Terms carefully and make sure you understand them before enrolling because they contain important and relevant information regarding any Membership you may purchase, including renewal and cancellation terms. Memberships are continuous and automatically renew unless you cancel or we terminate your account. 

 By purchasing a Membership, you agree to the Terms of Use and Sale below,

  • Quarterly Memberships. A Quarterly Membership consists of an initial themed product box (each, a “Box”) and an additional Box sent out quarterly thereafter – April, July and October, etc. 

    When you sign up for a Quarterly Membership, you will immediately be billed the quarterly subscription rate, plus applicable taxes and shipping cost (as a non-refundable purchase) and that initial "box" will be the first box you receive. Thereafter, your credit card will be charged the quarterly subscription box rate plus applicable taxes and shipping cost, on the 1st day of the 1st  month of the new quarter (April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st) in advance of the subsequent quarterly box shipment date, and every quarter thereafter.

    • Quarterly Memberships automatically renew each quarter (i.e., calendar quarter) and, unless request a timely cancellation, you will be charged as described above.
    •  Annual memberships were discontinued in December 2018**

    Cancellation Policy: Customers may cancel at any time, subject to the time frames below. We do not place “holds” on Memberships and users are welcome to reactive their membership at any time. 

    In order to cancel your subscription, please login into your account to process your cancellation immediately. 

    Cancellations must be effected prior to the billing date of the Membership renewal. Please cancel by 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month prior to the new quarterly payment. For Quarterly Memberships, this means that you must cancel before the billing date for the next quarter. For Annual Memberships, you must cancel prior to the billing date for the next annual period.

    COMMUNICATIONS: As a registered user of THE FINER THINGS, you agree to receive emails promoting any special offer(s), including third party offers. We may from time to time send you a newsletter. You may opt-out from receiving special promotions or our newsletter by emailing support@thefinerthings1920.com or selecting to unsubscribe as may be provided in the applicable e-mail correspondence.

    All information that you provide to register with THE FINER THINGS including your credit card information is subject to THE FINER THINGS’ Privacy Policy. The price of the Services and/or goods is payable in full before delivery. We accept the following credit cards at this time: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. For your convenience and continuous subscription benefits as a member, if your payment method reaches its expiration date and you do not update your credit card information or cancel your subscription, you authorize us to continue billing that credit card on file including extending the expiration date until we are notified by you or the credit card company that the subscription is no longer valid. We encourage you to constantly update your payment method information or cancel your subscription should you wish to discontinue your quarterly purchase.

    We use a third party payment service in lieu of directly processing your credit card information. By submitting your credit card information, you grant THE FINER THINGS the right to store and process your information with the third party payment service, which may change from time to time; you agree that THE FINER THINGS will not be responsible for any failures of the third party to adequately protect such information. All financial matters regarding your information are subject to the conditions of the third party payment service provider’s terms of service. You acknowledge that we may change the third party payment service and move your information to other service providers that encrypt your information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or other comparable security technology.

    BILLING POLICIES: Certain aspects of the Service, for example subscription plans, may be provided for a fee or other charge. If you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing and payment terms quoted on our Site and as we may update them from time to time. THE FINER THINGS may add new services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion.

    REFUNDS:

    • For Subscription Plans, you must cancel by 11:59 pm prior to quarterly billing date to avoid being charged for that quarter’s box. If you cancel after this time and a box is processed, there will be no refund available. In the event that THE FINER THINGS suspends or terminates your subscription or this Agreement for your breach of this Agreement, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else.
    • The quarterly or annual subscription can be canceled but are nonrefundable. Once a subscription is cancelled consumers will receive a confirmation of cancellation and not receive a refund of any kind. All box purchases are nonrefundable. We do allow refunds in the first 24 hours of your membership. You must contact us via email at info@thefinerthings1920.com and we will respond with next steps. Any refunds will be issued within 1-5 business days of approval.

    For Products.

We will offer exchanges for items which may not fit an expected.
