Tax is collected on orders shipped to the District of Columbia and to any state other than Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon.
We only sell products to individuals who can purchase with a permitted payment method.
You are permitted to purchase products or services via the Site only for personal use and not for resale.

IX. Prices, Payments, Refunds and Cancellations
Prices. You can find prices on each item's product page within the Site. For first time Subscribe and Save with Subscription orders and one-time orders under $50, there is a $5 flat fee for standard shipping. See “Shipping” below for more information.
Payments. We currently use third parties to process payments and accept payments through various credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, as well as PayPal. New Chapter does not accept Shop Cash as a form of payment. You may choose to link a credit card to your account to facilitate a one-time, or recurring payment(s) for your orders (see Subscription Membership below). In the event your linked credit card expires, our third party payment processor will automatically attempt to extend the expiration date of the credit card by three (3) years in order to process your orders (“Expiration Extension”). If an order is successfully processed in conjunction with an Expiration Extension, then the credit card’s new, extended expiration date will be permanently updated within your account. If an order is not successfully processed in conjunction with an Expiration Extension, then the credit card’s new, extended expiration date will not be permanently updated within your account, and you will receive an e-mail notifying you that your order could not be placed due to an expired card. NOTE: We do not accept Amazon Pay or AfterPay for Subscriptions. We may, from time to time, allow you to purchase our goods and products using Amazon Pay. In the event you use Amazon Pay, Amazon is solely responsible for processing your payments and you hereby agree to Amazon’s privacy terms and other contractual obligations, which may be amended from time to time, and are accessible at https://pay.amazon.com/. Please ensure that your default address with Amazon Pay is updated before placing an order with New Chapter. You agree that New Chapter is not responsible or liable for any acts or omissions undertaken by a third party payment processor, and in the event of a dispute between you and a third party payment processor, you will seek to engage directly with the third party payment processor to resolve the dispute and avoid raising any claim or complaint against New Chapter for the same.
Afterpay Installments by Afterpay is an external service that allows you to pay for your purchase from the Site in installments spaced out over time. For the avoidance of doubt, you recognize and agree that New Chapter is not responsible for, and you will not seek to hold New Chapter liable for, any engagement or interaction between you and Afterpay. To learn more about Afterpay, including its terms and conditions of use (such as payment obligations), its comprehensive list of FAQs, other legal terms, and the Afterpay's Privacy Policy, please visit the Afterpay website www.afterpay.com.

The billing and shipping addresses chosen for your initial order will be saved in your account and used on all future orders.
For recurring orders on Subscription, we will send you email reminder ten (10) days head of your next shipment to update you of any modifications to the item’s price or stock.

Once an order has been processed and shipped, it is considered the property of the customer, and the customer will be billed based on the amount estimated in the order confirmation e-mail. The items may only be returned in accordance with this Agreement.
Problems Processing Orders:
If any problems arise with the payment method associated with your Subscription order, we will notify you via e-mail using the address associated with your New Chapter account requesting that you resolve the problem.

If the item does not become available during that period, we will notify you and attempt to place the order for the next 15 days. If the order is still not in stock, we will attempt to send the next shipment on the next scheduled date. A Customer Service representative may contact you during this period to determine if there is an appropriate substitute for the item.
If a New Chapter Subscription item is no longer available, we will notify you and automatically cancel your Subscription for that item. No additional orders associated with that Subscription will be placed.
You may update your shipping & billing and/or your preferred payment method at any time.
