Item Issue or Shipping Damage

In the unlikely event that you receive a damaged item, contact our Public Relations team or +632.917.327.9178. We will work with you and the seller (when applicable) to reach a satisfactory solution.

For Month-to-Month Consulting Subscription

Chiqui Rodriguez does not offer refunds for payments made on a month-month subscription plan. To avoid being charged during a free trial promotion, you must cancel your subscription before your 3-day free trial ends. If you complete a subscription or service during the free trial period, Chiqui Rodriguez reserves the right to require you to pay for a one-month subscription.

​

Your subscription will continue on a month-to-month basis unless and until you cancel or the subscription is suspended or discontinued by Chiqui Rodriguez. For subscriptions to individual topics, Chiqui Rodriguez will automatically discontinue your subscription at the end of the monthly period unless you have subscribed through a third-party marketplace that restricts Chiqui Rodriguez's ability to do so -- e.g., in-app purchases through the Apple App Store. Please visit the third-party marketplace for information regarding their policies. You must cancel your subscription before your monthly renewal date to avoid the next billing.

​

If you cancel your subscription, cancellation will be effective at the end of the current monthly period; you will have continued access to your subscription for the remainder of that period, but you will not receive a refund.

​

Your Chiqui Rodriguez subscription session will continue for the subscription period identified at the time of your purchase and then automatically renew unless and until you cancel your subscription or the subscription is suspended or discontinued by Chiqui Rodriguez.

​

If you cancel your subscription after the first 14 days of your subscription period, you will continue to have access until the end of the subscription period and will not be billed for the next billing cycle.

For One-time Consulting and Product Purchases

One time Consulting

If you cancel your paid Service or consulting subscription for a one-time session 48 hours before the session starts, Chiqui Rodriguez will offer you a complete refund in 5 business days. For avoidance doubt, once you decided to start and have completed a session with your payment, you are not eligible for a refund.  However, if you’re taking the Service through your company or organization similarly, refunds and cancellations will also be governed by the terms of that contract between your organization and Chiqui Rodriguez.​ 

For Other Paid Services like Artworks and  other Collectibles from Friends of the Artist

If you purchase products from Friends of the Artist and/or through a third-party marketplace (e.g., in-app purchases through the Apple App Store or purchases made through certain alternative payment services), the refund policy applicable to that third-party marketplace will apply, unless otherwise explicitly stated by Chiqui Rodriguez. Except as otherwise explicitly stated by Chiqui Rodriguez, the third-party marketplace and/or merchants will be solely responsible for making refunds under its refund policy, and Chiqui Rodriguez will have no refund obligations. 

​

Our partners in Friends of the Artist follows a 20-day return policy during which the customer must inform Chiqui Rodriguez that they would like to return an item. The item must be undamaged, unworn, and unused with tags still attached within 14 days of the notification that the item will be returned.  Contact us with any requests for a return and we will then contact our partners.​

5. We use personally identifiable information you supply through the Service to provide you with the merchandise, product, service, and/or Content you have requested. For example, if you subscribe to any of our publications, we may use your e-mail address to send you a confirmation notice and your mailing address to send you the publication. Similarly, if you enter an online sweepstakes, we will use this information to notify you if you are a winner. We may also use the information to communicate with you about new features, products or services, and/or to improve the services that we offer by tailoring them to your needs.

        

6. Unless otherwise specified on the Service, we may sell or share information about you and your computer, mobile or other devices, including without limitation your Registration Information and other personally identifiable information, with our parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates and with carefully selected companies who we think may offer services and/or products that may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to have your personally identifiable information shared with third parties, contact our Privacy Policy Coordinator as described at the end of this document. If you do not wish to receive future commercial messages from us, simply follow the unsubscribe instructions contained within the message you receive. (But note that you may continue to receive certain communications from us, such as transactional or relationship messages, and/or messages about your account/profile). If you’ve registered on any part of the Service, please use the mechanism or contact information on the Service that allows you to change or update your member preferences or information, if available, to keep all such data accurate and up-to-date. If no such mechanism or contact information is available on the Service, contact our Privacy Policy Coordinator as described below with your changes.

        

7. We may also allow access to our database by third parties that provide us with services, such as technical maintenance, market research, community and forums management, auction services, and shopping, personal/job search and other classified ads functionality, but only for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to provide those services. And if you choose to purchase merchandise, products and/or services, including without limitation Content, on or through features on the Service, we may forward your information to third parties for services such as credit card or other payment processing, order fulfillment, credit pre-authorization, and address verification. There are also times when you provide information about yourself to us in areas of the Service that may be managed or participated in by third parties. In such cases, the information may be used by us and by such third party(ies), each pursuant to its own policies. We may also provide your information to our advertisers, so that they can serve ads to you that meet your needs or match your interests. While we may seek to require such third parties to follow appropriate privacy policies and will not authorize them to use this information except for the express purpose for which it is provided, we do not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of third parties.

        

8. We reserve the right to access, use, and share with others your personally identifiable information for purposes of health, safety and other matters in the public interest.

        

9. We may also provide access to our database in order to cooperate with official investigations or legal proceedings initiated by governmental and/or law enforcement officials, as well as private parties, including, for example, in response to subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, or other legal processes.

        

10. In addition, we reserve the right to use the information we collect about your computer, mobile or other devices (including its geographic location), which may at times be able to identify you, for any lawful business purpose, including without limitation to help diagnose problems with our servers, to gather broad demographic information, analyze trends, track users’ movements around the Service, and to otherwise administer the Service. Geographic location information about you and/or your computer, mobile or other devices may specifically be used to show you content and sponsored messaging based on geographic location.

        

11. We reserve the right to use, transfer, sell, and share aggregated, anonymous data about our users as a group for any lawful business purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and seeking compatible advertisers, sponsors, clients and customers.

        

12. In addition, as our business changes, we may buy or sell various assets. In the event, all or a portion of the assets owned or controlled by us, our parent or any subsidiary or affiliated entity are sold, assigned, transferred or acquired by another company, the information from and/or about our Service users may be among the transferred assets.

        

13. We reserve the right to identify you from your Registration Information and/or to merge or co-mingle anonymous or non-personally identifiable data about you, your offline and online behavior, and/or your computer, mobile or other device (including its geographic location), with your Registration Information and/or other personally identifiable data for any lawful business purpose.

    

Local Device Storage and other Tracking Technologies; Do Not Track (DNT):

​

14. The Service will at times place and/or store code or other types of information and/or devices (e.g., “cookies”) on your computer, mobile or other devices (“Local Device Storage”). We may use Local Device Storage for any lawful business purpose, including without limitation to determine which of our messages have been opened by recipients so we can gauge the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, to control the display of ads, to track usage patterns, the movements of individual users, and your geographic location, to help diagnose problems with our servers, to gather broad demographic information, to analyze trends, to conduct research, to deliver editorial content, to record registration and personalization information, and to otherwise administer the Service. For example, if you register on any part of the Service and are given the option to save your user name and password, we may provide this convenience to you via Local Device Storage. Local Device Storage may also collect and store your personally identifiable information, which may be shared with our parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates and other companies.

        

15. If you do not want Local Device Storage, your computer, mobile or other devices may include an option that allows you to not accept it. However, if you disable Local Device Storage, some portions of the Service may not function properly.

        

16. In addition to Local Device Storage, we may use web beacons, web bugs, clear gifs, and similar technologies (collectively, together with Local Device Storage, the “Tracking Technologies”). We use Tracking Technologies for all or some of the same lawful business purposes we describe above for use of Local Device Storage.

        

17. As discussed below, you may opt-out of third-party tracking on the Service at any time. However, we do not currently support any browser-based Do Not Track (DNT) settings or participate in any DNT frameworks, and we do not assign any meaning to any potential DNT track signals you may send or alter any of our data collection or use practices in response to such signals.

    

How to Opt-Out of Third Party Tracking Technologies:​

18. Our advertising service vendors and other third parties will at times also use Tracking Technologies to serve you advertisements tailored to interests you have shown by browsing on this Service and other sites, applications, destinations, and services you have visited, and to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before to avoid sending you to duplicate advertisements, and for other lawful business purposes. In doing so, these third parties will collect non-personally identifiable data including for example the make, model, settings, specifications (e.g., CPU speed, connection speed, browser type, operating system, device identifier) and geographic location of your computer, mobile or other devices, as well as date/time stamp, IP address, pages visited, time of visits, content viewed, ads viewed, the site(s), application(s), destination(s), and/or service(s) you arrived from, and other clickstream data. The use of Tracking Technologies by third parties is subject to their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy, and we have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith. 

    

Transfer of Information

19. Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, servers and databases located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as your jurisdiction. Please be advised that we may transfer your information to and from any state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction, and process it in the Philippines or elsewhere. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to any such transfer.

    

Information Security and Notification:​

20. Because no data transmission is completely secure, and no system of physical or electronic security is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you send to us or the security of our servers, networks or databases, and by using the Service you agree to assume all risk in connection with the information sent to us or collected by us when you access, visit and/or use the Service, including without limitation your personally identifiable information or other Registration Information, and we are not responsible for any loss of such information or the consequences thereof.

        

21. Moreover, if you elect to store information, such as your personally identifiable information or other Registration Information, where others may access it, we are not responsible for any loss of such information or the consequences thereof. If you lose a computer, mobile or other devices, or it is stolen, that contains your personally identifiable information or other Registration Information, it is up to you to take all the steps necessary to protect yourself.

        

22. In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you. If notification is appropriate, we may notify you via your computer, mobile or other devices.

    

Kids and Parents:

23. This Service is not intended for use by children, especially those under age 13. No one under age 13 is allowed to register for the Service or provide any personally identifiable information or use our social, community and public discussion areas, photo and video galleries, bulletin boards, forums, chats, blogs, personal/job search and other classified ads, and elsewhere. Minors between the ages of 13 and 17, inclusive, must get the permission of their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) before making purchases, including subscriptions, on this Service.

Accordingly, you should tell them not to do so.  If you’re worried about your children’s activities or their privacy on the Service, we encourage you to contact the National Privacy Commission, the Philippines.
