You may cancel in by emailing us at [email protected] and following the instructions you receive.

People with certain conditions MUST HAVE physician approval prior to starting any Chef V program; these include, but are not limited to people who: (a) are pregnant, (b) have anorexia or bulimia, (c) have chronic kidney disease, (d) children under 17 years old, or (e) nursing mothers. People with these or any other serious health conditions must seek physician approval before starting any Chef V Programs.
Please consult your physician before beginning any Chef V program, or any other weight loss program, as changing your diet or exercise, or losing weight, may affect some medical conditions and medications. Your physician may need to adjust your medications due to changes in your diet, exercise, or weight while on this program. Check with your physician, but as a general guideline, we also recommend taking a multivitamin and a fish oil supplement as a part of your Chef V program for optimal health. You should discuss your continued participation in the Chef V program with your physician if there is any change in your medical condition.
It is important to note that medical studies indicate that people 20 percent or more above their ideal weight are at increased risk of many illnesses or diseases, including coronary heart disease, heart attacks, diabetes, increased cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, strokes, gallbladder disease, kidney disease, neurological disorders, gout, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer. It is also important to be aware of certain risks that have been associated with weight loss. Any weight loss program may cause constipation, muscle cramps, dehydration, diarrhea, dizziness, dry or cold skin, fatigue, gallbladder inflammation or gallstones, gout, hair loss, headaches, heart palpitations, loss of lean body mass, irregular or stopping of menstruation, reduced tolerance to cold, as well as other possible side effects. Please be sure to eat all of the food that is recommended on the Chef V program. Failure to follow the program protocol and eat all of the food recommended may increase the risk of developing serious health complications.
Chef V provides weight loss and health information solely for informational purposes. Weight loss and health results are not guaranteed. Actual results will vary widely from individual to individual. By purchasing from Chef V, you acknowledge that Chef V does not make any claims, guarantees, explicit or implied, for any specific results.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction BY calling our customer service department AT 1-866-709-6060. IF Chef V’s customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if Chef V has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.
All disputes or claims that arise under or related to these Terms and Conditions (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether past, pre-existing, or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive, and equitable claims) will be resolved either in small claims court or by individual arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Unless you and Chef V agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Chef V agrees that it will pay a consumer’s filing fee FOR the arbitration.
You agree to arbitration on an individual basis.

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration).
No waiver by Chef V of any of the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Chef V to assert a right or provision under these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
