About The Michiko Way

Business name: The Michiko Way

Website: https://themichikoway.com

Email: [email protected]

Mailing address: 12521 Old Tullahoma Road, Tullahoma, TN 37388

In these terms, “The Michiko Way,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the business identified above. “You” and “your” refer to the person visiting the website, placing an order or accessing our services.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority where you live to place an order or create an account.

By using the website or placing an order, you represent that:

  • You are legally able to enter into a binding agreement.

  • The information you provide is accurate and complete.

  • You are authorized to use the payment method submitted.

  • Your use of the website will comply with applicable law.

    Products may be purchased as gifts for another adult. The purchaser remains responsible for providing accurate order and recipient information.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service when our products, services, business practices or legal obligations change.

The “Last updated” date at the top will show when the terms were most recently revised. Changes become effective when posted unless another effective date is stated.

Changes will not retroactively alter the material terms of a completed purchase unless permitted by law.

Website Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current. However, occasional errors may occur in product descriptions, prices, photographs, availability, shipping information or other content.

We may correct errors, update information or cancel an affected order. If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will issue an appropriate refund to the original payment method.

Website photographs are provided for illustration. Colors may appear differently depending on lighting, photography and device settings.

Products and Natural Variations

Favor is made with plant oils, essential oils and aromatic ingredients. Natural ingredients may vary slightly in color, aroma or appearance between batches. These slight variations are not considered defects.

The presentation box, label or other packaging may be updated while the product itself remains substantially the same.

Product availability is not guaranteed. We may limit quantities, discontinue products or decline orders when reasonably necessary.

Product Ingredients and Allergies

Customers are responsible for reviewing the complete ingredient list before purchasing or using Favor.

Favor contains golden jojoba, Abyssinian oil, pomegranate seed oil, frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon bark, cassia, wild orange and benzoin.

Even naturally derived ingredients may cause sensitivity or an allergic reaction in some individuals.

Perform a small patch test before regular use. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Contact a qualified healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, under medical care, have known sensitivities or have questions about whether the product is appropriate for you.

External Use and Safety

Favor is intended for external use only.

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Keep the product out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest the oil.

Use Favor only as directed and store it securely away from excessive heat, direct sunlight and other conditions that could affect the product.

The Michiko Way is not responsible for harm resulting from ingestion, misuse, use contrary to instructions, use after a known reaction or failure to review the disclosed ingredients and warnings.

Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot legally be excluded.

No Medical Claims

The website, products, digital devotional and related content are provided for personal, educational, reflective and devotional purposes.

They are not intended to:

  • Diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease

  • Replace professional medical or mental-health care

  • Provide individualized medical advice

  • Make claims about altering the structure or function of the body

  • Guarantee relief from any physical or mental-health condition

Statements about ingredients, historical use, aroma, symbolism or personal experience should not be interpreted as medical claims.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, nursing, allergies or adverse reactions.

If you believe you are experiencing a serious allergic reaction or medical emergency, seek immediate professional medical attention.

No Guarantee of Spiritual Results

Favor and its accompanying devotional were created as tools for prayer, reflection and remembrance inspired by Esther’s season of preparation.

The oil itself does not create God’s favor, carry spiritual power on its own, guarantee an answer to prayer or ensure a particular spiritual, personal, relational or financial outcome.

The devotional expresses a Christian perspective but does not replace Scripture, prayer, participation in a local faith community or appropriate pastoral care.

Individual experiences will differ. You remain responsible for your own beliefs, decisions and use of the product and devotional content.

Orders and Order Acceptance

Submitting an order is an offer to purchase the products listed in the order.

We may accept, decline or cancel an order for reasons including:

  • Product unavailability

  • Incorrect pricing or product information

  • Payment problems

  • Suspected fraud

  • An incomplete or undeliverable address

  • Quantity limitations

  • A violation of these Terms of Service

An automated order confirmation acknowledges that we received the order. It does not limit our ability to review or cancel an order when reasonably necessary.

If we cancel a paid order, we will issue an appropriate refund to the original payment method.

Prices, Taxes and Charges

Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.

Product prices may change without notice. A price change will not affect an order already accepted, except when correction of an obvious error is permitted by law.

Applicable taxes, shipping charges and other disclosed costs are calculated or displayed during checkout.

You are responsible for all charges shown and accepted before submitting your order.

Payment

Coupons, Discounts and Promotions

Payment must be made using an available payment method at checkout.

Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor. Your use of the payment service may also be subject to the processor’s terms and privacy policy.

You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided and authorize the applicable charges.

If a payment is declined, reversed, disputed or otherwise unsuccessful, we may suspend fulfillment or digital access while the issue is reviewed.

If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact us promptly at [email protected] so we can investigate.

We may refuse or cancel the use of a promotion when we reasonably believe it has been copied, altered, misused or obtained through fraud.

Shipping and Delivery

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

Shipping estimates are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery dates unless expressly stated otherwise.

Delays may occur because of carrier operations, weather, holidays, incorrect addresses, natural events or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

If we cannot ship within the promised timeframe, we will provide any notice, cancellation opportunity or refund required by applicable law.

Tracking information may be provided by email after an order ships.

Additional information about damaged products, missing packages, incorrect addresses and returns appears in our Return, Refund & Replacement Policy, which is incorporated into these terms.

This informal process does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief or exercising rights that cannot legally be waived.

Governing Law and Venue

Any legal proceeding not resolved informally will be brought in an appropriate state or federal court located in [Franklin County, Tennessee], unless applicable consumer law permits or requires another location.

Nothing in these terms deprives a consumer of protections that cannot be waived under the law of the consumer’s residence.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary. The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

No Waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms without written permission.

We may assign these terms as part of a merger, reorganization, sale of the business or transfer of assets, subject to applicable law.
