Term Of Use

1. Overview

This website is operated by Forever Zuri Soaps & More. Throughout the site, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Forever Zuri Soaps & More. By visiting our site and/or purchasing from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions. We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms by posting updates to our website.

2. Product Safety, Allergy & Usage Disclaimer

  • Natural Variation: Our products are handmade. Please allow for slight variations in color, shape, and scent between batches.

  • Melting Disclaimer: Our body butters are natural products sensitive to high temperatures. During warmer months, products may soften or melt during transit. If your butter arrives melted, refrigerate for 30 minutes to solidify. Note: Whipped volume may decrease if melted, but the weight remains the same. We do not offer refunds or replacements for melted products.

  • Ingredient Responsibility: We list all ingredients on our website and packaging. It is the customer's responsibility to review these for potential allergens.

  • Allergy Warning: Our products are processed in a facility that handles peanuts. They are not recommended for those with severe nut allergies.

  • Safety & Patch Test: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Perform a "patch test" on a small area of skin before first use. Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs.

  • Slip Warning: Certain products contain oils that may make surfaces (bathtubs/showers) slippery. Use extreme caution when exiting.

  • General FDA & Ingredient Disclaimer

    These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These cosmetic products are handcrafted using traditional methods and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, hormonal imbalance, or medical condition. For external use only.

    Because our formulations utilize raw, natural, and bioactive ingredients, a 24-hour skin patch test is strictly recommended before full-body or axillary application. Discontinue use immediately if localized redness, stinging, or irritation develops. Do not apply to open wounds, severely broken skin, or freshly shaved skin tissue.

3. Medical Disclaimer

The content on this website is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a specific skin condition, consult a physician before using products containing essential oils or new ingredients.

Waterless (Anhydrous) Product Care Disclaimer

(Crucial for your Sapphire Deodorant Stick and Botanical Salves)

PRODUCT INTEGRITY & HYGIENE WARNING

Our premium deodorants and skin salves are 100% waterless (anhydrous) and intentionally formulated without industrial chemical preservatives or synthetic biocides. Because mold, yeast, and bacteria require moisture to thrive, this container must be kept completely free of water.

Do not apply this product to wet or soaking skin straight out of the shower; ensure skin is 100% clean, dry, and cool to the touch before swiping. Store tightly capped in a cool, dry place. If the product container becomes heavily contaminated by external water (dropped in a tub/sink), discontinue use immediately to prevent bacterial growth. The company is not liable for structural damage, texture texturing, or contamination caused by consumer water exposure.

Botanical & Phytoestrogenic Safety Disclosure

(Crucial for formulas containing essential oils like Lavender, Tea Tree, or Clary Sage)

BOTANICAL PHYTOTERAPY NOTE

Forever Zuri products leverage the natural, high-performance power of unrefined plant extracts and pure essential oils. Certain therapeutic botanicals contain natural phytoestrogens (weak, plant-based compounds that structurally mimic environmental estrogens).

While these natural components are clinically safe for general adult cosmetics, individuals who are currently pregnant, nursing, treating a hormone-sensitive medical condition, or undergoing endocrine therapy should consult their primary healthcare provider before introducing new concentrated botanical topicals into their daily routine.

4. Shipping, Delivery & Third-Party Carriers

  • Carrier Policy: We use third-party carriers (USPS/UPS via Pirate Ship). Once a package is handed to the carrier, Forever Zuri Soaps & More is no longer responsible for delays, theft, or delivery errors.

  • Insurance Claims: If your package is lost or damaged, we will assist you in filing an insurance claim through Pirate Ship.

  • Address Accuracy: We are not responsible for orders shipped to an incorrectly provided address. If a package is returned to us, the customer is responsible for additional shipping costs to re-send the item.

5. Returns & Refunds

Due to the personal nature of our skincare and hygiene products, all sales are final. We do not accept returns or exchanges. If there is an issue with your order (wrong item sent), please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

6. Pricing & Modifications

Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any scent or product at any time. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, or discontinuance of the Service.

7. Intellectual Property

All content included on this site, such as text, graphics, logos, images, and product descriptions, is the property of Forever Zuri Soaps & More and is protected by copyright laws. You may not use our intellectual property without express written consent.

8. Prohibited Uses

In addition to other prohibitions set forth in the Terms of Service, you are prohibited from using the site or its content:

  • For any unlawful purpose or to solicit others to perform unlawful acts.

  • To resell our products without express written permission (Wholesale accounts must be applied for separately).

  • To upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code.

9. Limitation of Liability

In no case shall Forever Zuri Soaps & More, our directors, or employees be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct/indirect damages of any kind arising from your use of any of our products. This includes, but is not limited to, slip-and-fall accidents or allergic reactions. Use products at your own risk.

Consumer Misuse Liability Waiver

By purchasing and utilizing Forever Zuri products, the consumer acknowledges that proper storage, application on dry skin, adherence to recommended weekly exfoliation schedules, and doctor consultations for personal health profiles remain 100% the responsibility of the end-user. Forever Zuri is legally insulated from liabilities, skin sensitivities, or product degradation resulting from usage that goes openly against explicit packaging instructions.

MECHANICAL EXFOLIATION WARNING

Formulations containing active mechanical scrubbing agents (such as whole poppy seeds, mineral salts, or ground cornmeal) are designed strictly as specialized treatment polishes. Do not use physical exfoliating bars daily.

Limit mechanical scrubbing to two (2) to three (3) times per week max. Over-exfoliation can cause microscopic tearing of the skin matrix, strip the protective acid mantle, trigger irritation, or cause a temporary "rebound odor spike" due to sweat gland overcompensation. For daily cleansing, always utilize our smooth, non-textured baseline bars.

10. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Texas, USA.
