3.1 Introduction
BCUSA sells shaving razors, grooming supplies, and other personal care products (the “Products”) to end-user customers, including customers who purchase a recurring membership plan and/or customers who make an on-demand purchase (“Members”) to receive Products one time or on a schedule they choose from the options BCUSA makes available (the “Membership(s)”). Products are only for Members’ own personal, non-commercial use. You may not purchase Products or Memberships for further distribution or resale or for any other commercial or business purpose. The Membership and all rights and privileges conferred are personal and non-transferable.
3.2. Placing an Order
To place an order for Product(s) and Membership, you will need to register for an account with us. You will need to provide some personal information upon registering—please see our Privacy Policy for details on how we use your information. Once you have registered with us, you will be able to order Products and Membership from us. You submit your order by clicking on the ‘Complete Order' button (please note that your Membership may be a recurring subscription as set out in these Terms). You should check your order and the information provided about your Membership carefully before you submit your order. Once you have submitted your order, we will send you an email to acknowledge and summarize your order. This does not mean that we have accepted your order.
We will contact you if your order is not accepted. This will usually be because (a) Products you have ordered are unavailable; (b) we cannot authorize your payment; (c) you are not allowed to buy Products or Membership from us or we are not allowed to sell Products or Membership to you; or (d) there has been a mistake in the pricing or description of the Products or the Membership you have ordered.
Our acceptance of your order will take place only when we have received payment from you and shipped your Products.
If any problems arise with your order, or with the shipping address or Payment Method (as defined below) associated with your Membership, and BCUSA is unable to resolve the problem, we may notify you via email using the email address associated with your Membership. It is important that you keep your information current with an accurate email address that you regularly check. If problems arise with your order that we cannot resolve, your order may be cancelled and we may not be able to deliver future Products until the problem has been resolved.
3.3 Products and Product Pricing
The price that we will charge you for the Products and Membership depends on the Membership you choose, including the number of Products you select for each box (each a “Box”) and to the extent applicable any discount, promotion or offer. Pricing for Products and Memberships (including any applicable shipping and handling fees) can be found on the Big Club USA, Inc. . You may view or customize the Products in each Box by logging into your account and visiting the ‘Box’ page. If you add or remove Products from a Box, or change your Membership, this may change the price that we will charge you for the Products and Box.
We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to change prices for Products and Memberships, at any time, with appropriate notice to you. We do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases. If you do not wish to continue to receive the relevant Product(s) at the increased price, then you must permanently remove the Product(s) from your Box or cancel your Membership in accordance with Section 4.3 below. You must do this at least one (1) working day before the first date we ship Products to you after the price change takes effect. Unless you permanently remove the relevant Product(s) or cancel your Membership, you will be charged the increased price for the Product(s) for all deliveries of the Product(s) after the date on which the price change takes effect.
3.4 Memberships and Promotions
Your Membership may (at BCUSA’s sole option) start with a promotional trial period, allowing you to receive your first shipment at a reduced price or to otherwise receive trial Product(s) at a reduced price (“Trial”). You may also choose to add additional Products to your Box or Membership on a one-time or recurring basis (“Add-On Products”). During the Trial period, your Payment Method (as defined below) will be charged for only the Trial price and any shipping and taxes, if applicable, and any Add-On Products selected. For combinations with other discounts, promotions and offers, restrictions may apply. BCUSA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine your Trial eligibility.
After the Trial period, Members will receive full-size Products shipped regularly based on the Membership and/or Products you choose at the time you signed up for the Trial (each a “Restock Box”). BCUSA will bill your credit, debit, or other BCUSA-accepted payment method (“Payment Method”) for the applicable Restock Box – based on the Product(s), Membership type, and frequency you selected, and any Add-On Products you select for each Box – at the end of the Trial period, unless you cancel your Membership prior to the end of the Trial period in accordance with Section 4.3.
To view the specific details of your Membership, including frequency of shipments and next ship date, visit our website and click the ‘Account’ page. To view your next Box price, Box contents, and ship date, click on ‘Manage.’ We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it to cover your Membership as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your Trial period.
You will not receive a notice from us that your promotional pricing (which may be reduced during a Trial period) has ended or that the standard rate portion of your Membership has begun. To avoid being charged after the expiration of your Trial, you must cancel your Membership prior to the end of the Trial. After the Trial, we will continue to charge your Payment Method (depending on your Membership selection) until you cancel your Membership.
BCUSA reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to withdraw or modify any Product, Membership, Trial, offering, or promotion at any time without prior notice and with no liability. Any and all Products, Memberships, offers, or promotions advertised on the Big Club USA, Inc. are void where prohibited, and are subject to the posting of any official rules to such offers or promotions.
3.5 Processing Orders
If any problems arise with your order, or with the shipping address or Payment Method associated with your Membership, and BCUSA is unable to resolve the problem, we may notify you via e-mail using the address associated with your Membership. It is important that you keep your information current with an accurate email address that you regularly check. If problems arise with your order that we cannot resolve, your order may be cancelled and we may not be able to process future Restock Boxes until the problem has been resolved.
3.6 Refunds
If you are dissatisfied with one of our Products, we will refund the amount paid for that Product in your most recent Box received (if you received a discount, promotion or offer, then the amount we will refund is the discounted price) if you provide notice to us as described below. Refund requests must be made directly to us at members@bigclubusa.com within 30 days of the date of shipment by BCUSA. We are not liable for Products that you return to us that are damaged or lost in transit to Big Club USA, so we advise you to return your Product using a tracked delivery method. Promptly following Big Club USA’s receipt of your request (typically within five (5) business days), or, if applicable, promptly following return of your Product, Big Club USA will credit the amount paid for the returned Product (less any shipping and handling costs/fees related to the original purchase, which are non-refundable) to the Payment Method you used to make the original purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BCUSA does not control when a specific credit card or Payment Method company processes a chargeback transaction. You are responsible for contacting your Payment Method company if you have questions about the status of the chargeback.
We will not provide a refund for a request that is received by Big Club USA more than thirty (30) days after the date of original shipment. We also do not provide a refund for returned Products that are damaged due to misuse, lack of care, mishandling, accident, abuse or other abnormal use. Finally, we do not provide a refund for returned Product requests that are abusive or unfairly taking advantage of our policy, including but not limited to, repeat refund requests on the same Product or repeat refund requests without return of the applicable Product.
3.7 Gift Cards
The risk of loss and title to gift cards passes to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the recipient or delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable. BCUSA shall have the right to refuse service, suspend or terminate accounts or memberships or any related account(s), cancel orders or Box shipments, or recoup the amount of the Gift Card by charging the amount from the Payment Method supplied, in each case in its sole discretion, if BCUSA suspects a Gift Card is being redeemed and/or used in a fraudulent manner to make purchases on the Big Club USA, Inc. . For full terms and conditions related to gift cards, please visit here.
4.1 Recurring Membership; Automatic Renewal
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH MEMBERSHIP AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS.
When you sign up for a Membership, you will have the opportunity to choose (a) the Products included in each Restock Box (subject to availability); and (b) the frequency of each delivery/payment under your Membership, from the options provided at the time you sign up. Your default Restock Box shipping frequency will be selected at the time you sign up until you change it in accordance with these Terms.
BCUSA will automatically renew your Membership and charge your Payment Method depending on the Membership and/or Restock Box shipping frequency chosen by you and, unless we or you cancel your Membership in accordance with these Terms.
Your Payment Method will be charged at least one full business day prior to your next Box shipping date. We will charge your Payment Method with the applicable recurring cost for your Restock Box, and any Add-On Products, excluding any Products you ‘snooze’ or remove in accordance with these Terms, plus any shipping and handling costs and sales or similar taxes that may be charged with your Membership. You authorize this renewal by agreeing to the automatic renewal of your Membership and these Terms during the Membership sign-up process.
To avoid being charged, you must cancel your Membership in accordance with Section 4.3. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a recurring basis (depending on the Membership and Box shipping frequency selected) until you cancel.
4.2 Pausing and Resuming Membership; Discontinuing Products
Your ability to pause Products
BCUSA offers its Members the ability to temporarily pause (or ‘snooze’) any one or more Products included in their Memberships (“Pause Period”)—you can do this by logging into your account and visiting the ‘My BCUSA’ or ‘Box’ pages. During the Pause Period, a Members’ account will remain active, but they will not receive the Product(s) which they have paused in their next delivery of a Restock Box. During the Pause Period, Members will continue to receive communications from BCUSA via email, and continue to receive (and be charged for) the delivery of any Restock Boxes (with the exception of the paused Product(s)).
The amount we charge your Payment Method will be reduced, for your next Restock Box, to reflect the fact that we will not be delivering the paused Product(s). If your purchase was entitled to a discount, promotion, or offer, then that discount, promotion, or offer, and any related change in pricing, will be recalculated (if applicable) for your next delivery, excluding the paused Product(s).
Requests to pause a Product must be received at least one full working day prior to your next shipping date to take effect for that delivery. Pause requests received by BCUSA through other channels (for example, by email to members@bigclubusa.com) may take up to five (5) business days to process. Otherwise that request will take effect on the following delivery.
Following the delivery for which you paused a Product, the Pause Period will end and the Product which you paused will be included in subsequent deliveries of your Restock Box (unless you pause it again or permanently remove it in accordance with these Terms). You may email any questions about the Pause Period to us at members@bigclubusa.com.
Our right to pause or discontinue Products
From time to time, we may pause a Product included in your Restock Box—for example, if there is no availability of that Product at the time of shipping. We may permanently discontinue Products included in your Membership from time to time. If this applies to you, then we will send you an email, using the email address associated with your Membership. Your Payment Method will not be charged for Products which are not included in your Restock Box, either because we have paused them or because they have been discontinued.
4.3 Membership Cancellation or Modifications
Cancellation by Us
We may cancel your Membership at any time if you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within sixty (60) days of us reminding you that payment is due. We reserve the right to not ship any Products or Box to you unless your payment for those Products, or that Box, has cleared.
We may also cancel your Membership at any time if any of the following conditions are met: (a) if you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Product(s), for example, your shipping address; (b) if you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Product(s) to you; or (c) if we suspect, in our sole judgment, that a purchase was fraudulently made or an account was fraudulently set up.
Cancellation or Modification by You
You may cancel your Membership at any time by logging into your ‘Account’ on the BCUSA website. Then, click the ‘Membership Settings’ link, and then click ‘Cancel Membership’. You must submit your cancellation request at least one full business day prior to your next Box shipping date to avoid being charged for that Box. It may take up to five (5) business days to process cancellation requests submitted through other channels that BCUSA makes available, such as by email. You may be charged for your next delivery if your cancellation request is not received in time for processing before your next delivery date. If you have any questions or issues, please email us at members@bigclubusa.com.
If you cancel or modify your Membership, you will enjoy your Membership benefits until the end of the then-current Membership term for which you have paid.
4.4 BCUSA Referral Program
BCUSA may offer a referral program (“Referral Program”) that allows Members to earn promotional credits towards a future purchase of Products by referring their friends, family, or other individuals to BCUSA. For details about our Referral Program, please review our Referral Program Terms and Conditions. BCUSA reserves the right to terminate the Referral Program at any time for any reason, or disqualify any Member or prospective member at any time from participation in the Referral Program.

Please read this Section 12 (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with Big Club USA and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by writing to our customer service department at members@bigclubusa.com or Big Club USA, Attn: Customer Service, 13335 Maxella Ave, Marina del Rey, CA 90292. In the unlikely event that our customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction, the terms of this Section 12 govern dispute resolution between us.
Applicable to the United States: Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, counts, claim, or cause of action) between you and BCUSA or BCUSA’s employees, agents, successors, or assigns, shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration, except that you or BCUSA may take claims to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for hearing by such a court. In addition, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration and arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, APART FROM THE NARROW EXCEPTIONS ABOVE, YOU AND BCUSA ARE EACH WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO RECEIVE A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Arbitration shall be subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and shall be conducted by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate. The JAMS Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The Minimum Standards are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/.
You and BCUSA must abide by these rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action and the arbitrator shall not award class-wide relief; (b) BCUSA will pay its arbitration costs as required by JAMS rules, and in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, BCUSA will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (c) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (d) each side pays his, her or its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation costs, and in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
With the exception of subpart (a) in the paragraph above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, subpart (a) in the paragraph above is found invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or U.S. federal court in California.
Applicable to Canada: After any dispute arises, the parties involved in the dispute may agree to resolve the dispute using arbitration. If the parties elect to use arbitration, disputes shall be referred to ADR Institute of Canada.
