The updated terms revise when subscription cancellations become effective for pre-paid multi-month medication plans. Under the previous language, cancellation could occur at least two days before the billing date following the end of the currently shipped supply. The revised policy now states that cancellation must occur at least two days before the next billing date but will not take effect until the end of the medication supply period. This means that if you request cancellation after a billing date but before your current medication shipment is fully consumed, your subscription will continue through the end of that supply period before the cancellation takes effect. You should review the specific timing of your medication shipments and billing dates to understand when a cancellation request will fully process.

The updated terms now authorize Hims & Hers to bill for Weight Loss Membership at 'monthly or multi-month intervals' rather than on a fixed monthly basis, expanding the company's discretion over billing frequency. Additionally, the agreement establishes that refunds for partially used membership or medication plan periods 'may be provided in our sole and absolute discretion' instead of guaranteeing refunds under specific conditions. The first-month membership fee is explicitly non-refundable, and medication refunds remain available only if cancelled within 48 hours of initial order or two days before renewal. The practical effect is that subscribers cannot predict billing intervals with certainty, and refund eligibility now depends on company discretion rather than contractual terms alone.
