Terms of Service

Last updated: October 5, 2026

These terms explain how ordering from The Milky Box works. We've kept them as clear as we can. By placing an order or using our website, you agree to these terms and to the policies they mention.

1. Who we are

The Milky Box (themilkybox.com) is operated by The Milky Box, based in the Netherlands. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean The Milky Box, and "you" means the person using our website or placing an order.

2. Who can order

  • You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live.
  • We deliver to home addresses in North America (the United States and Canada), South America, Asia and Australia. We don't deliver to business addresses or P.O. Boxes.
  • We don't sell or deliver any product to any country in the European Union. EU delivery addresses are disabled at checkout.
  • Our products are for personal use. We may limit quantities per order, customer or household, and we may refuse or cancel orders that appear to be for resale or that we suspect are fraudulent.

3. Our products and information

We describe our products as accurately as we can, using information from the manufacturers. Manufacturers may change packaging, sizes, recipes or instructions without notifying us right away, so always follow the instructions on your packaging.

The information on our website is general information, not medical advice. Breast milk is best for babies. Please talk to your pediatrician before starting or switching formula.

4. Prices and payment

  • Prices are shown at checkout and may change at any time. The price at the moment you place your order is the price you pay.
  • If a product is listed at a clearly wrong price because of an error, we'll contact you before shipping, and you can choose to continue at the correct price or cancel for a full refund.
  • All orders are paid in full at checkout. Payments are processed securely by our payment providers.

5. Your order

After you order, you'll receive an order confirmation by email. Your order is accepted once we send that confirmation. If we can't fulfill your order, for example because a product is out of stock, we'll let you know and refund you in full.

6. Subscriptions

  • Subscribe & Save orders ship automatically at the interval you choose, and subscribers save 5% on every order.
  • You can change, skip or cancel your subscription in your account at any time. Please make changes at least one week before your next shipment, because once an order has been created, it's packed and shipped.
  • Your subscription is only canceled once you've received a cancellation confirmation. See our Subscription FAQ for details.

7. Shipping, delivery and customs

  • Please allow 1 business day for processing. Delivery times are estimates.
  • Formulas shipped from the EU: Standard shipping is always free (5–9 business days) and Express shipping is always $19.95 (3–5 business days).
  • Sprout Organic® ships from Australia. Its shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout.
  • Responsibility for your parcel passes to you once it has been delivered to your address.
  • You are the importer of your order. Any import duties, taxes or customs fees charged by your country are your responsibility.
  • We're not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, weather, holidays or other events outside our control. See our Shipping Policy for reshipments, lost parcels and claims.

8. Cancellations, refunds and returns

  • To cancel an order, message us on live chat within 1 hour of placing it. We don't charge a cancellation fee.
  • Refunds go back to your original payment method and take 3–5 business days.
  • For the safety of every family we serve, we can't accept returns of food products, including formula.
  • If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 3 business days of delivery.

Full details are in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

9. Using our website

You agree not to use our website for anything unlawful, to interfere with its security or operation, to copy or resell our content without permission, or to send us content that is unlawful, misleading or infringes anyone's rights.

If you send us reviews, comments or suggestions, you allow us to use them on our website and in our marketing (see our Customer Reviews Terms). Our website may link to other websites or tools that we don't control, and we're not responsible for their content.

All content on our website, including text, images and our logo, belongs to The Milky Box or its licensors.

10. Our responsibility to you

We do our best to keep our website available and accurate, but we can't guarantee it will always be error-free or uninterrupted.

If we're responsible for a loss, our liability is limited to the amount you paid for the order concerned. Nothing in these terms limits our liability where the law doesn't allow it, for example for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, and nothing in these terms affects your rights as a consumer under the laws that apply to you.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your personal information.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time and will post the new version on this page with a new "last updated" date. The terms that apply to your order are the ones on our website when you placed it.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands. This doesn't take away any protection you have under the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live. If you have a problem, please contact us first at hello@themilkybox.com. We'll do our best to resolve it quickly and fairly.
