What changed, in plain language

The only change is an updated obfuscation code in the Customer Care email link. The email address, phone number, and all terms are unchanged. Nothing about your rights or obligations changed.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDCustomer Care email link code refreshed

    The scrambled code in the link behind the Customer Care email address changed. This is just how the site hides the email from spam bots — the address itself, the phone number (855) 940-0585, and the cancellation policy all stayed the same.
