- The Terms & Conditions state 'All sales are final' — no refund policy
- The advertised 2-month promo bundles save relatively little versus standard pricing and are explicitly 'while supplies last'
- Brand-medication pathway pricing ($99/mo) excludes the medication's own cost, which isn't published
