The Coca-Cola Company disclaims all representations and warranties that the content or information on this Website is accurate, complete, up to date or does not infringe the rights of any third party.
4.2. Placing your order.
When you place an order with us (by choosing your product, personalizing if applicable and completing our online checkout process), we will send you an order acknowledgement by email. This will detail the products you have ordered. Please note that your completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order. Our acceptance of your order only takes place when we ship it. A ‘purchase contract’ between you and FortyFour, LLC is therefore made at the point of shipment, rather than at the point of payment. If you have cancelled your order, or if we notify you that we cannot accept your order, then no purchase contract will have been made. From time to time, we may not be able to accept an order for the following reasons a. Where we cannot obtain authorization for your payment b. If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions c. If the order for personalized products contains reference to any names, words, acronyms, symbols or other content that is not approved by Coca-Cola. We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time and issue a full refund. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Please double-check your order on screen and your acknowledgement email carefully to check that all the details are correct. We cannot refund items where the personalization has been misspelled due to an error made by you.
4.4 Suggesting a name or phrase for personalization
Note that there will be a number of names or phrases that will not be allowed due to their double meanings or cultural and religious sensitivities.

15. Coca-Cola Insiders Club
Please make sure to review these terms carefully prior to purchasing a Coca-Cola Insiders Club Membership (a “Membership”). These terms contain important Membership information, such as our automatic renewal and cancellation policies. By purchasing a Membership, you agree to the terms below, as well as our www.cokestore.com terms and conditions and our Privacy Policies.
15.1. Membership.
Membership in the Coca-Cola Insiders Club is open to residents of the U.S. ages 18 and up.
15.2. Membership Benefits.
As a member of the Coca-Cola Insiders Club, you will receive an “Innovation Box” for each month of your subscription, which begins as early as January 2020 and continues through June 2020, unless you cancel earlier. Each Innovation Box will contain 3 of The Coca-Cola Company’s latest product innovations and, from time to time, other fun surprises from The Coca-Cola Company. The contents of each Innovation Box are selected by The Coca-Cola Company in its sole discretion.
15.3. Membership Options. The Coca-Cola Insiders Club offers two (2) Membership options:
(a) Monthly Membership. A Monthly Membership is for an ongoing six (6) month Membership that is charged in the amount of $10.00, plus tax, each month and will be automatically charged to the credit card you provide, unless you cancel your Membership in accordance with Section 15.4 of these Membership Terms. A Monthly Membership consists of an initial Innovation Box which will be shipped in January 2020 and an additional Innovation Box each month from February 2020 through June 2020. If you sign up for a Monthly Membership, you will immediately be charged $10.00, plus tax, for the initial Innovation Box you will receive in January 2020. Thereafter, your credit card will be charged $10.00, plus tax, around the 1st of each month, and your monthly Innovation Box will be shipped around the 8th of the month. Unless you cancel your Monthly Membership as provided in Section 15.4, you will be charged a total of $60.00, plus tax, over the course of the six (6) month Membership term. Monthly Memberships purchased after the cutoff date for the January Innovation Box shipment will be charged $10.00, plus tax, for each month remaining in the Membership term, which continues through June 2020.
(b) Prepaid Membership. A Prepaid Membership is a six (6) month Membership that is charged up-front in the amount of $50.00, plus tax. The Prepaid Membership is nonrefundable. With a Prepaid Membership, you will receive the same Innovation Boxes as you would receive with a Monthly Membership (i.e., an initial Innovation Box which will be shipped in January 2020 and an additional Innovation Box each month from February 2020 through June 2020). If you sign up for a Prepaid Membership, you will immediately be charged $50.00, plus tax. Prepaid Memberships purchased after the cutoff date for the January Innovation Box shipment may be offered at a discount in The Coca-Cola Company’s sole discretion and will continue for the number of months remaining in the subscription term, which continues through June 2020.
15.4. Cancellation Policy.
You may cancel your Membership at any time. For Monthly Memberships, cancellations must be effected prior to the beginning of the month to avoid being charged for that month’s shipment (for example, cancel by January 31 to avoid being charged for your February box). If you miss this deadline, your cancellation will go into effect for the next month’s billing cycle. Canceling your Membership does not provide a refund on any previously paid Membership fees and will not stop a pending charge. Prepaid Memberships may be cancelled, however, the amount paid for a Prepaid Membership is nonrefundable.
To cancel a Monthly Membership, members who were logged into their www.cokestore.com account at the time of purchase have the option to cancel under the “My Account” page at "www.cokestore.com". Otherwise, to cancel a Monthly Membership or a Prepaid Membership, send us a message through the Contact Us page or call 1-800-557-4616 and indicate that you wish to cancel your membership.
