TERMS AND CONDITIONS

General Warranty Disclaimer

Customer Satisfaction is of utmost importance at VGOD. For sanitary reasons, and the overall safety of our customers, all consumables such as, e-liquids, e-juices, drip tips, standard batteries, cartridges, coils, clearomizers, wicks, wire, cotton, used tanks and used atomizers are NOT eligible for returns, refunds or exchanges.

All hardware must be registered on OfficialVGOD.com/warranty to qualify for our warranty policy.

All DOA, Missing, or Wrong Item claims must be reported to our warranty department via email within 48 hours from the time of delivery. The consumer is responsible for checking all items received and notifying us within the time frame stated with any issues or concerns.

Dead on Arrival or DOA, is defined as an item that is completely non-functional upon receipt or a device that does not function in a manner in which it was designed to be used. Minor cosmetic damage exclusive to the product manufacturer, buttons that rattle, a USB port intended for firmware updates that does not charge batteries, or missing items from the sealed packaging are all examples of, but are not limited to, conditions that do not constitute a DOA item.

Coils: VGOD does not offer exchanges of coils due to the consumable nature and limited life expectancy of disposable e-cigarettes, atomizer tanks, atomizer coils, pod system replacement pods and cartomizers. However, we do offer a dead on arrival (DOA) warranty for replacement coils or pods. If the product does not function correctly out of the box, we will warranty the item. You will be asked to return all defective units with its’ original packaging and all components included to test and confirm the root causes of the non-functioning unit.

Common reasons coils fail to perform or do not last as long:

• High voltage devices or high voltages: High voltages on a coil that cannot handle the heat can and will damage the coils causing one to assume the coil is DOA or defective. The type of e-liquid also is of concern. Higher sugar content e-liquid and high heat will cause caramelization on the wick, which has the same effect as burning a wick. Also, if there is build up on the coil and wick, it will not saturate properly.

• Constant or consistent vaping: A coil may burn out fast due to constant or consistent vaping or “chain vaping.” Most coils are not meant to be fired continuously all day long with no breaks. Doing so can significantly shorten the life of any disposable e-cigarettes, atomizer tanks, atomizer coils, pod system replacement pods and cartomizers.

• E-liquid: A higher VG content in e-liquid will make it more viscous and the wick will not saturate quickly enough into the coil and atomize the liquid. This will cause heat build up and the wick to burn. Once a wick burns the performance of the coil is severely degraded.

Minor Cosmetic damage: Minor cosmetic issues, minor scratches, or discolorations are considered normal wear and tear, and will not be covered by our warranty.

Coils: VGOD does not offer exchanges of coils due to the consumable nature and limited life expectancy of disposable e-cigarettes, atomizer tanks, atomizer coils, pod system replacement pods and cartomizers. However; we do offer a dead on arrival (DOA) warranty for replacement coils or pods. If they do not work right out of the box we will warranty the item. You will be asked to return all defective units with their original packaging and all initially included components for confirmation and for testing the unit to find root causes.

Common reasons coils go bad or fail to perform:

• High voltage devices or high voltages: High voltages on a coil that cannot handle the heat can and will damage the coils causing one to assume the coil is DOA or defective.

• Constant or consistent vaping: A coil may burn out fast due to constant or consistent vaping or “chain vaping.” Most coils are not meant to be fired continuously all day long with no breaks. Doing so can significantly shorten the life of any disposable e-cigarettes, atomizer tanks, atomizer coils, pod system replacement pods and cartomizers.

• The E-liquid: A higher VG content in e-liquid will make it more viscous and the wick will not saturate quickly enough into the coil and atomize the liquid. This will cause heat build up and the wick to burn. Once a wick burns the performance of the coil is severely degraded.The type of e-liquid also matters, higher "sugar" content e-liquid and high heat will cause caramelization on the wick which has the same effect as burning a wick, if there is build up on the coil and wick it will not saturate.

E-liquid:

E-liquids are not covered under any warranty due to their consumable nature. E-liquid flavorings may contain trace amounts of nuts, gluten, sugar, diacetyl, or other sweeteners. Flavorings may also contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, and artificial sweeteners. Keep all e-liquids away from children and pets. Do not drink e-liquid, puncture the cartridge or in any way attempt to modify with any miscellaneous ingredients or accessories. Nicotine levels may vary. If you find that the juice tastes different from a previous batch, we can guarantee that our formulas do not change. Some known reasons for any variances in taste may include the following:

• If the manufacturing date falls close to the current date, and thus, the e-liquid may require more steeping. Please, shake it well and leave in a dark area for a few days.

• If the e-liquid is left in a hot location or in direct sunlight, the heat may have an effect on the taste of the e-liquid. Specifically, if it contains nicotine. For example: The e-liquid is left sitting in your mailbox, on your porch or in the car for an extended period of time.

• If you changed your tank type, atomizer resistance or battery voltage, any or all may cause a reduction or increase in the nicotine dosage per puff. Additionally, under or overheating the e-liquid can change the flavor. Check the suggested voltage range for your atomizer resistance and try again at the lower end of that voltage range

• A survey of 500 customers has shown that the taste of e-liquid, as well as some food items, may change after abstaining from smoking, which is explained by restoration of taste buds due to the elimination of tobacco products.

• Nicotine can oxidize when exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time. This results in a slight variation in color of the e-liquid and possibly a slight variation in flavor, as well. One can avoid this physical change by simply storing your e-liquid in a drawer or a similar dark and dry place at room temperature.

Decorative Items: Items such as the decorative VGOD carrying case, decorative VGOD pin and stickers are not included in the warranty, as they are complimentary items.

Accessories/Apparel: There are no warranties on accessories and/or apparel.

Clearance Products: All purchases of clearance products are FINAL and will not be covered under product warranty OR our return policy with absolutely NO exceptions.

Promotional Codes: Promotional codes or Affiliate codes cannot be combined or applied to already reduced pricing or sale items.

Discontinued Products: Products that are discontinued are no longer supported by our warranty replacement policy effective immediately upon time of discontinuance.

Compatibility: We do not guarantee compatibility between items. If you have any questions about compatibility, please, do your research or send us an inquiry before placing your order. We will not accept returns due to incompatibility.

ADVANCE USER WARNING: Mechanical mods and rebuildable atomizers are for advanced users only and not for beginner or average vapers with no knowledge of Ohms Law. One must have knowledge of how to use a multimeter or ohmmeter to check for the resistance or for shorts in coil builds. These materials cannot be safely used by the inexperienced user or those without basic knowledge of how electronics function.

Children's Privacy Policy

This section explains our practices with respect to the online collection and use of personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18. The Official VGOD website is not directed or to be used by children under the age of 18 and we do NOT knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18 as part of the website.

VGOD does not knowingly distribute such information to third parties. We screen users who wish to provide personally identifiable information in order to prevent users under the age of 18 from providing such information. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a user under the age of 18, we will take the appropriate steps to delete such information from our records.

We do NOT knowingly allow children under the age of 18 to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable information through the website. Because we do not collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18 via the website, we do NOT condition the participation of a child under the age of 18 in the website's online activities on providing personally identifiable information.

We do NOT specifically market to anyone under the age of 18, nor do we knowingly provide services or sales of our products to anyone under the legal age permitted to purchase nicotine products.
