Overview

Welcome! The following Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to all visitors or users of our Bath & Body Works websites, microsites, and mobile websites (each, a “Site”) our mobile applications (each, an “App”) and your use of interactive features, widgets, plug-ins, content, downloads and/or other online services that we own and control and that post a link to these Terms (collectively with each Site and each App, the “Service”).  The Service is made available by Bath & Body Works Direct, Inc., Bath & Body Works, LLC, and Bath & Body Works Brand Management, Inc. (collectively referred to herein as “BBWD”,” “we”,” “our” or “us”).

If you want to access or use the Service, then carefully read these entire Terms (including all links to details), as they constitute a written agreement between you and us and they affect your legal rights and obligations.  Each time you access and/or use the Service (other than to simply read these Terms), you agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms and any Additional Terms (defined below) then posted.  Therefore, do not use the Service if you do not agree. In the event of a violation of these Terms, we reserve the right to seek all remedies available by law and in equity.

The business realities associated with operating the Service are such that, without the limitations that are set forth in these Terms, such as your grants and waivers of rights, the limitations on our liability, your indemnity of us, and the arbitration of certain disputes – we would not make the Service available to you.

By accessing and/or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.  In some instances, both these Terms and separate guidelines, rules, or terms of use or sale setting forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of the Service or to a service or product offered via the Service such as if you join our loyalty program (which may only be available in select markets), you agree to our loyalty program terms that will apply (in each such instance, and collectively “Additional Terms”).  To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.

   3.    Terms Applicable to Purchases

                   
                       

   A. Purchases Generally.  To purchase any products or services sold through the Service, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence or if you are a minor and have a valid gift card or a credit or debit card where an adult has listed you as an authorized user of their card.  By submitting that information to us or to our third-party credit card processor or service provider, you agree that you authorize us and/or our processor or service provider to charge your card/account at our convenience.  For any product or service that you order on the Service, you agree to pay the price applicable (including any sales taxes, shipping and handling fees and surcharges) as of the time you submit the order.  We will automatically bill your credit card or other form of payment submitted as part of the order process for such price.  

                                              

   B. Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes. All payments must be made through any of the methods that are accepted at the time of payment by us or by our payment services provider. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card or payment account, and you must refer to that agreement and not these terms to determine your rights and liabilities as a card or account holder.  If for any reason your default payment method is declined or no longer available, you authorize us to charge any other payment method that you have authorized for use on your account with us.  You will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.  You represent and warrant that you will not use any credit card or other form of payment unless you have all necessary legal authorization to do so.  YOU, AND NOT US, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY UNAUTHORIZED AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY.  You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases (including any applicable taxes, shipping and handling fees and surcharges) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred.  If we do not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us or our agents.  Sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges are not included in the price of the products.  We will charge the applicable taxes in effect at the time of purchase. We shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable tax for orders to be delivered to addresses within and any states or localities that we deem is required in accordance with our order policy in effect at the time of purchase.

                                              

   C. Return Policy and Orders/Shipping Policy.  All purchase transactions made through the Service are subject to our return policy and orders/shipping policy in effect at the time of purchase.  Our current Return Policy can be found  here and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.  Our current Orders/Shipping Policy can be found here and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.  Some products or services may be made-on-demand and may be subject to additional policies, conditions and restrictions, and may take longer to ship. Such on-demand items are made and fulfilled to order, and will be noted on the product or services description.  Products or services made-on-demand may not be returned or exchanged unless damaged or incorrect on arrival due to our error or mistake. All products purchased from us are delivered to you by a third-party delivery company, pursuant to a shipping contract.  You shall become the owner of the products and shall assume the risk of loss at the time of delivery by us of the products to the third-party delivery company.  We shall not be in default if delivery is delayed or rendered impossible by forces of nature, war, civil commotion, governmental action, terrorism, fire, storm, flood, explosion, strikes, walkouts, pandemic, other industrial disturbances, utility, services or transportation interruptions or any other cause beyond our reasonable control.

                                              

   D. Order Acceptance Policy.  Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell or that the price or availability of an item has been confirmed.  We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order (or otherwise cancel your order) for any reason. We further reserve the right any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item or refuse to fulfil your order (in whole or in part). Your order will be deemed accepted by us upon our delivery of the products or services that you have ordered. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Unlike in-stock orders, certain products or services may be made-on-demand and may be shipped to you directly from the third party on-demand vendor and subject to additional delay due to production methods.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a portion of your order or if we provide you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy is either that: (a) we will issue a credit to your card or payment account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your card/account has already been charged for the order); or (b) we will not charge your card/account for the cancelled portion of the order or the quantity not provided.  Do not assume that a cancellation or change of an order you have placed with us has been effectuated until you receive a confirmation from us via email.  As stated above, you will be responsible for, and your credit/debit card or other third-party payment account may be charged for, the payment of all fees associated with orders already processed or shipped before your cancellation/change request or a request to terminate your order was received.  We may refuse any order that is connected with a previous credit card dispute or previous apparent fraudulent activity.   We may refuse to accept any order if fraudulent activity is suspected and we may refuse to process any subsequent order from a customer who has a history of placing fraudulent orders.

                                              

   E. No Responsibility to Sell Mispriced Products.  We do our best to describe every item, product or service offered on the Service as accurately as possible.  However, we are human, and therefore we do not warrant that specifications or pricing on the Service is complete, accurate, reliable, current, or error-free.  In the event of any errors relating to the pricing or specifications of any item, product or service, we shall have the right to revoke any stated price and to correct the error, inaccuracy or omission (including after a purchase has been made) or to refuse or cancel any orders in our sole discretion (including any accepted orders).  If we charged your credit/debit card or other account prior to cancellation, we will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge.  If we accept and process your order where a pricing or specification error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing or misdescription, we may cancel the sale, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you under the order.  If a product you purchased from us is not as described on the Service, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition, complete and undamaged, in the original packaging, subject to the terms of the Return Policy.

                                              

   F. Modifications to Prices or Billing Terms. Purchases of products and services on the Service are subject to availability. All descriptions, images, references, features, content, information, specifications, products and prices described or depicted in connection with the Service are subject to change at any time without notice.  We cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability and services, including for any items sold by third parties (if any).  We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies or omissions at any time without prior notice (including after a purchase has been made).  Descriptive, typographic and photographic errors are subject to correction and we shall have no liability of any kind for such errors.  We reserve the right to modify or cancel orders for any reason, including for typographical, pricing and other errors at any time.  We strive to display as accurately as possible the colors of the products shown on the Service; however, we cannot and do not guarantee that your monitor’s display of any color will be accurate.  PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DISPLAYED ON THE SERVICE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES AND MAY BE SUBSTITUTED OR DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME.

                                              

   G. Offers and Discounts.  For most promotional offers, such as coupons, vouchers, and discounts, restrictions apply.  See offer for full terms and conditions applicable thereto.  Offers are not valid on previously purchased online merchandise, merchandise purchased through third parties, gift cards, taxes or shipping and handling and there is no cash value.  Limit one (1) offer per order. Offers may not be combined with other offers or promotions. Pricing, promotions and availability of offers may vary by store location, geographic area and customer. Limitations on availability of an offer in certain stores or areas may or may not be disclosed as part of the terms and conditions of the offer.  Offers are not valid if reproduced and they are only accepted for a limited time.  Please read the details of each offer, as coupons and promotional code restrictions vary.  We reserve the right to modify, suspend, impose conditions on or cancel offers at any time without notice.  If you return any of the items purchased with a discount offer, the discount or value may be subtracted from the return credit.  We have no obligation for payment of any tax in conjunction with the distribution or use of any offer.  You are required to pay any applicable sales tax related to the use of the offer.

                                              

   H. Auto-Refresh.  Auto-refresh (also referred to herein as auto-replenishment) is limited to items displaying the auto-refresh tag on the Service and is only available for orders shipping to addresses in the United States.  If you purchase products using our auto-replenishment feature on the Service, you’ll receive regular shipments of those products based on the frequency you choose; Bath and Body Works currently offers 1-month, 2-month 3-month, 4-month, 5-month or 6-month auto-replenishment frequencies (i.e., your auto-replenishment starts on the date you submit your auto-refresh subscription and if you select every two months, then it will ship every two (2) months on that same date each month, however, for subscriptions that began on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, in the event that a subsequent month in which the auto-replenishment order is to ship doesn’t have that day during the month, the auto-replenishment order will ship on the last day of that month and that new calendar date will become the new date that all auto-replenishment orders will ship on a going-forward basis) but reserves the right to offer different frequencies in the future which will be posted on the Service. When you are enrolled, auto-refresh will automatically create a new order according to the frequency applicable to your product purchase selection, and your auto-replenishment for the selected product will continue for each auto-replenishment frequency period selected by you until you cancel. You may skip an auto-replenishment shipment, make changes to or cancel your auto-replenishment up to twenty-four (24) hours before your next recurring order is to be processed. There is no additional fee charged for participating in auto-replenishment, and there is no minimum purchase obligation. Some of the offer details for auto-replenishments may change as you receive deliveries over time (for example, price, taxes, availability, and shipping/handling charges). If any item in an auto-refresh order is unavailable on the date it was scheduled to ship, we will attempt to fulfill the order each of the next two calendar days.  If the product remains unavailable after those three days, we will notify you that we are unable to process the auto-replenishment order, in its entirety, and we will wait to process your order until the next scheduled shipping date based on the shipment frequency selected.

                                              

                       

   (i) Autorenewal and Recurring Charges Apply. The total cost charged to your payment method for each auto-replenishment order will be the cost of the item on the day that order is processed, less any auto-replenishment discount offered as a percentage or dollars off at the time you signed up, plus shipping and handling (if applicable) and any applicable sales tax. Your auto-replenishment subscription will automatically renew at the end of the term you selected continuously and indefinitely without action by you, and the cost will be automatically charged to you at the time of renewal. BBWD reserves the right to modify or cancel any discount (whether a discount on the price of the product or on shipping and handling charges) offered at the time you signed up for auto-replenishment, with notice to you, and future orders fulfilled would reflect any such change. For each auto-replenishment shipment made after the initial auto-replenishment order is placed, you authorize BBWD to charge the payment method you identified in your account as the default payment method. If we are unable to complete your auto-replenishment order with the payment method you identified in your account as the default payment method, we will not fulfill the order and will notify you that your payment method needs to be updated.  In the event that we are unable to complete your auto-replenishment order with the payment method you identified in your account as the default payment method, for three consecutive auto-replenishment cycles, we will cancel your auto-refresh subscription.  The actual cost of each shipment may vary depending on the quantity and frequency chosen. You accept responsibility for all recurring charges and your auto-replenishment will continue until you cancel your auto-replenishment. There is no minimum purchase obligation.

                                              

   (ii) Cancellation. You may cancel auto-replenishment at any time. To cancel, log in to your BBWD account, click “Cancel Auto Refresh Order” next to the order your wish to cancel, select your reason for cancelling, and then click “Cancel.” You may also cancel by contacting BBWD Customer Service at 1-800-756-5005. If you cancel before the next recurring payment is charged, then your subscription will terminate automatically, and BBWD will not charge your payment provider for any subsequent auto-replenishment period. If you cancel while an order is in process, BBWD will continue to process your order; your auto-replenishment will terminate automatically after the last order is shipped.  If you cancel your enrollment and then reactivate it, the discount applied to any auto-replenishment item may not be the same discount in effect at the time of cancellation. If the auto-replenishment discount for such item changes, the new discount will be applied to your future shipments of that item.

                                              

   (iii) Skip a Shipment. You may also skip a shipment at any time. To skip a shipment, log in to your BBWD account, click “Skip It” next to the order you wish to skip, and then click “Confirm.” If you skip a shipment at least twenty-four (24) hours before your next recurring order is to be processed, BBWD will cancel the next scheduled delivery for your auto-replenishment and your payment method will not be charged for the skipped shipment. If you skip a shipment while an order is in process (i.e., your payment has been charged but you have not yet received your shipment), BBWD will continue to process your order for that period and skip the following subscription period. After your skipped shipment, BBWD will automatically re-start your auto-replenishment deliveries unless you skip the next shipment or cancel your auto-replenishment. Skipping a shipment does not cancel your subscription.

                                              

   (iv) Manage Your Auto-Replenishments. You can manage or make changes to your auto-replenishments at any time, by logging into your BBWD account, clicking “My Auto Refresh.” Any changes you make will be reflected in your next shipment, except for changes initiated while an order is in process, in which case they will be reflected after the current order has been completed.

                                              

   (v) Termination and Suspension. We may, in our sole discretion, terminate or suspend your enrollment in auto-replenishment (and/or the entire auto-replenishment program) for any reason at any time without notice in our sole discretion. If we do so, you will only be charged for orders that have been shipped to you. BBWD reserves the right to change the auto-replenish benefits, including the discount amounts and eligibility used to determine discount amounts, and the products eligible for auto-replenishment at any time in its sole discretion. All changes will apply to future orders, including for current enrollments.

                                              

   (vi) Discounts, Price Adjustments and Rewards. Auto-replenish discounts and any limited time special auto-replenish enrollment promotions apply only to eligible items displaying the offer message on the auto-replenish item information pages, and then only if you select the auto-replenish delivery method and meet all stated qualifications for the discount or promotion. Enrollments are good while supplies last. Special limited time enrollment promotions only apply during their effective dates.  Auto-replenish orders will not be eligible for price adjustments and earned Rewards cannot be redeemed on auto-replenish orders.

                                              

   (vii) Returns. All returns under auto-replenishment are subject to the BBWD Return Policy found here.

                                              

   (viii) Pricing and Product Changes. BBWD reserves the right to change the pricing of any product associated with auto-replenishment at any time.  In the event of a price change, BBWD will post the new pricing on the website and attempt to notify you in advance by sending an email to the address you have registered for your account. You agree that we may change the pricing we charge you for your auto-replenish products by providing you with notice through an electronic communication from us and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.  BBWD also reserves the right to change the SKU/item number and/or packaging (but not the fragrance) of products shipped to you via auto-replenishment. You consent to our ability to change our pricing and the details of our auto-replenish products (sizes, varieties, SKU/item number, packaging, etc.) through an electronic communication to you.  If you do not wish to accept a price and/or product change made by us, you may cancel your auto-replenishment order, using the process described above, otherwise you will be deemed to have consented to the price and/or change and authorize BBWD to charge the new price to your payment method and/or send you the new product.  If there are any discrepancies in billing, you hereby waive your right to dispute such discrepancies if you do not notify BBWD within sixty (60) days after they first appear on an account statement.

   In order to access or use some (or potentially all) of the features on the Service, you may be required to first register for a user account through our registration process that we make available through the Service.  The Service’s practices governing any resulting collection and use of your personal information are disclosed in our Privacy Policy.  If  you register for any feature that requires a password and/or username, then you will select your own password at the time of registration (or we may send you an e-mail notification with a randomly generated initial password) and you agree that: (i) You will not use a username (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else, that may impersonate another person, that belongs to another person, that violates the intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or that is offensive.  We may reject the use of any password, username, or e-mail address for any other reason in our sole discretion; (ii) You will provide true, accurate, current, and complete registration information about yourself in connection with the registration process and, as permitted, to maintain and update it continuously and promptly to keep it accurate, current, and complete; (iii) You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account, password, and username – whether or not you authorized the activity; (iv) You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, for using a long and unique password that you do not use on or for other third-party websites, apps, or services,  and for restricting access to your Device so that others may not access any password protected portion of the Service using your name, username, or password; (v) With respect to your account, you will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account, password, or username, or any other breach of security; and (vi) You will not sell, transfer, or assign your account or any account rights.  We will not be liable for any loss or damage (of any kind and under any legal theory) to you or any third party arising from your inability or failure for any reason to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.  If any information that you provide, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information that you provide, is false, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or violates these Terms, any Additional Terms, or any applicable law, then we may suspend or terminate your account.  We also reserve the more general and broad right to terminate your account or suspend or otherwise deny you access to it or its benefits – all in our sole discretion, for any reason, and without advance notice or liability.

   5.    Your User Content and Community Usage Rules

                   
                       

   A. User Content.  We may at times invite you to respond to an invitation to post digital content in the manner specified (“User Content”), for example, by using the specified tags, (e.g., the hashtag and the brand tag) or by launching Content from the Service (the “Invitation”).  By “User Content,” we mean all content, including, without limitation, product reviews, testimonials, messages, text, illustrations, files, images, graphics, photos, comments, feedback, surveys, responses, sounds, music, videos, information, content, data, questions, suggestions, personally identifiable information, or other information or materials and the ideas contained therein that comprise the content that you post in response to such an Invitation or on the Service.  By submitting your User Content or by applying any required hashtags or other tags, you agree to these Terms.  Specifically, you:

                                              

                           
   • Represent that you are a legal resident of the U.S., the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or other United States territory or possession, and are at least eighteen (18) years of age.
                           
   • Represent that you own or have secured all rights, title, and interest in the User Content.
                           
   • Represent that you have obtained express permission from everyone who took, or is appearing in, your User Content.
                           
   • Acknowledge that you will not be compensated in any way for our use of your User Content.
                           
   • Represent that you understand that we may retouch, edit or otherwise alter User Content (such as photos) without your ability to inspect or pre-approve.
                       

                                            

   If you do not fully consent to and authorize use of User Content as outlined here, do not respond to the Invitation.  If you want to have your User Content taken off the Service at any time, please contact us.  Subject to the license you grant in these Terms, you retain whatever legally cognizable right, title, and interest that you have in your User Content and you remain ultimately responsible for it.

                                            

                           

   (i) Non-Confidentiality of Your User Content. Except as otherwise described in the Service’s posted Privacy Policy or any Additional Terms, you agree that: (a) your User Content will be treated as non-confidential – regardless of whether you mark them “confidential,” “proprietary,” or the like – and will not be returned; and (b) BBWD does not assume any obligation of any kind to you or any third party with respect to your User Content.  Upon BBWD’s request, you will furnish us with any documentation necessary to substantiate the rights to such content and to verify your compliance with these Terms or any Additional Terms.  You acknowledge that your User Content may be viewed by any visitor to the Service and, accordingly, agree not to submit any User Content that contains detailed or sensitive information (such as personal information), whether concerning you or others.  In your communications with BBWD, please keep in mind that we do not seek any unsolicited ideas or materials for products or services, or even suggested improvements to products or services, including, without limitation, ideas, concepts, inventions, or designs for music, websites, apps, books, scripts, screenplays, motion pictures, television shows, theatrical productions, software or otherwise (collectively, “Unsolicited Ideas and Materials”).  Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you post on or send to us via the Service are deemed User Content and licensed to us as set forth below.  In addition, BBWD retains all of the rights held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.  BBWD’s receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by BBWD of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair BBWD’s right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

                                                      

   (ii) License to BBWD of Your User Content. Except as otherwise described in any applicable Additional Terms, you grant to BBWD the non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise use and exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of your User Content (and derivative works thereof), for any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through any means or medium now known or hereafter developed, and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed, and to advertise, market, and promote the same.  Without limitation, the granted rights include the right to: (a) configure, host, index, cache, archive, store, digitize, compress, optimize, modify, reformat, edit, adapt, adopt, publish in searchable format, and remove such User Content and combine same with other materials, and (b) use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any User Content for any purposes whatsoever, including developing, producing, and marketing products and/or services.  You understand that in exercising such rights, metadata, notices and content may be removed or altered, including copyright management information, and you consent thereto and represent and warrant you have all necessary authority to do so.  In order to further effect the rights and license that you grant to BBWD to your User Content, you also hereby grant to BBWD, and agree to grant to BBWD, the unconditional, perpetual, irrevocable right to use and exploit your name, persona, and likeness in connection with any User Content, without any obligation or remuneration to you.  Except as prohibited by law, you hereby waive, and you agree to waive, any moral rights (including attribution and integrity) that you may have in any User Content, even if it is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you.  To the extent not waivable, you irrevocably agree not to exercise such rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with any exercise of the granted rights.  You understand that you will not receive any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any of the rights granted in this Section 5(A)(ii).  

                                                      

   (iii) Exclusive Right to Manage Our Service. BBWD may, but will not have any obligation to, review, monitor, display, post, store, maintain, accept, or otherwise make use of, any of your User Content, and BBWD may, in its sole discretion, reject, delete, move, re-format, remove or refuse to post or otherwise make use of User Content without notice or any liability to you or any third party in connection with our operation of User Content venues in an appropriate manner.  Without limitation, we may do so to address content that comes to our attention that we believe is offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, threatening, abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, including, without limitation, the content restrictions set forth below in the Rules (defined in Section 5(B)).  Such User Content submitted by you or others need not be maintained on the Service by us for any period of time and you will not have the right, once submitted, to access, archive, maintain, or otherwise use such User Content on the Service or elsewhere.  

                                                      

   (ii) Enforcement. BBWD has no obligation to monitor or enforce your intellectual property rights to your User Content, but you grant us the right to protect and enforce our rights to your User Content, including by bringing and controlling actions in your name and on your behalf (at BBWD’s cost and expense, to which you hereby consent and irrevocably appoint BBWD as your attorney-in-fact, with the power of substitution and delegation, which appointment is coupled with an interest).

                         

                                     

   B. Community Usage Rules.  As a user of the Service, these Community Usage Rules (“Rules”) are here to help you understand the conduct that is expected of visitors of the Service’s online forums and user content areas (collectively, “Communities”).

                                              

                                                

   (i) Nature of Rules. Your participation in the Communities is subject to all of the Terms, including these Rules:

                                 

                                   
   • Your User Content.  All of your User Content either must be original with you or you must have all necessary rights in it from third parties in order to permit you to comply with these Terms and any Additional Terms.  Your User Content should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties.  Do not use any User Content that belongs to other people and pass it off as your own; this includes any content that you might have found elsewhere on the Internet.  If anyone contributes to your User Content or has any rights to your User Content, or if anyone appears or is referred to in the User Content, then you must also have their permission to submit such User Content to BBWD (for example, if someone has taken a picture of you and your friend, and you submit that photo to BBWD as your User Content, then you must obtain your friend’s and the photographer’s permission to do so).
                                                                    
   • Speaking of Photos:  No Pictures, Videos, or Images of Anyone Other Than You and Your Friends and Family.  If you choose to submit photos to the Service, link to embedded videos, or include other images of real people, then make sure they are of you or of you and someone you know – and only if you have their express permission to submit it.
                                                                    
   • Act Appropriately.  All of your Service activities must be venue appropriate, as determined by us.  Be respectful of others’ opinions and comments so we can continue to build Communities for everyone to enjoy.  If you think your User Content might offend someone or be embarrassing to someone, then chances are it probably will and it doesn’t belong on the Service.  Cursing, harassing, bullying, stalking, insulting comments, personal attacks, gossip, and similar actions are prohibited.  Your User Content must not threaten, abuse, or harm others, and it must not include any negative comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or physical handicap.  Your User Content must not be defamatory, slanderous, indecent, obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit.  
                                                                    
   • Do Not Use for Commercial or Political Purposes.  Your User Content must not advertise or promote a product or service or other commercial activity, or a politician, public servant, or law.
                                                                    
   • Do Not Use for Inappropriate Purposes.  Your User Content must not promote any infringing, illegal, or other similarly inappropriate activity.
                                                                    
   • Be Honest and Do Not Misrepresent Yourself or Your User Content. Do not impersonate any other person, user, or company, and do not submit User Content that you believe may be false, fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, or misleading, or that misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company.
                                                                    
   • Others Can See. We hope that you will use the Communities to exchange information and content.  However, please remember that the Communities are public or semi-public and User Content that you submit on the Service within a Community may be accessible and viewable by other users.  Do not submit personally identifying information (e.g., first and last name together, password, phone number, address, credit card number, medical information, email address, or other personally identifiable information or contact information) on Community spaces and take care when disclosing this type of information to others.  
                                                                    
   • Don’t Share Other Peoples’ Personal Information. Your User Content must not reveal another person’s address, phone number, e-mail address, social security number, payment card number, medical information, financial information, or any other information that may be used to track, contact, or impersonate that individual, unless, and in the form and by the method, specifically requested by BBWD.
                                                                    
   • Don’t Damage the Service or Anyone’s Computers or Other Devices. Your User Content must not submit viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, or any other technologies or malicious code that could impact the operation of the Service or any computer or other Device.
                               

                                                            

   If you submit User Content that BBWD reasonably believes violates these Rules, then we may take any legally available action that we deem appropriate, in our sole discretion.  However, we are not obligated to take any action not required by law.  We may require, at any time, proof of the permissions referred to above in a form acceptable to us.  Failure to provide such proof may lead to, among other things, the User Content in question being removed from the Service.

                                                        

   (ii) Your Interactions With Other Users; Disputes. You are solely responsible for your interaction with other users of the Service, whether online or offline.  We are not responsible or liable for the conduct or content of any user.  We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor or become involved in disputes between you and other users.  Exercise common sense and your best judgment in your interactions with others (e.g., when you submit any personal or other information) and in all of your other online activities.

                         

                                            

   C. Alerting Us of Violations.  If you discover any content that violates these Terms, then you may report it to us here.  For alleged infringements of intellectual property rights, see Sections 6 and 7, below.

   6.    Notice of Copyright Infringement under the “Digital Millennium Copyright Act” (DMCA)

                   
                       

   A. DMCA Notice.  BBWD will respond appropriately to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), as set forth below.  If you own a copyright in a work (or represent such a copyright owner) and believe that your (or such owner’s) copyright in that work has been infringed by an improper posting or distribution of it via the Service, then you may send us a written notice that includes all of the following:

                                                  

                               

   (i)    a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice”;

                                                              

   (ii)    a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;

                                                              

   (iii)    a description of where the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity is located that is reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (please include the URL or page of the Service on which the material appears);

                                                              

   (iv)    your full name, address, telephone number and email address;

                                                              

   (v)    a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;  

                                                              

   (vi)    a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and  

                                                              

   (vii)    your electronic or physical signature.

                             

                                                             

   BBWD will only respond to DMCA Notices that it receives by mail or email at the addresses below:

                                                    

                                                            

   By Mail: Bath & Body Works Chief Legal Officer’s Office, Three Limited Parkway, Columbus, OH 43230 U.S.

                                                            

   By Email: chieflegalofficer@bbw.com

                           

                                                         

   It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed.  BBWD may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and BBWD may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.

                                                

   Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

                                                    

   We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work.  That person may elect to send us a DMCA Counter-Notification.

                                                    

   Without limiting BBWD’s other rights, BBWD may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate a repeat infringer’s access to the Service and any other website owned or operated by BBWD.

                                            

   B. Counter-Notification.  If access on the Service to a work that you submitted to BBWD is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the addresses above.  Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:

                                                  

                                                    

   (i)    a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;

                                                              

   (ii)    a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the URL or page of the Service from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);

                                                              

   (iii)    a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

                                                              

   (iv)    your full name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and the username of your account;

                                                              

   (v)    a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA notification to us or an agent of such person; and

   If we receive a DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA Counter-Notification.  However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the addresses above that the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Service.  You should also be aware that we may forward the Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

   7.    Procedure For Alleging Infringement of Other Intellectual Property

                   
                       

   If you own intellectual property other than copyrights and believe that your intellectual property has been infringed by an improper posting or distribution of it via the Service, then you may send us a written notice to the addresses set forth above that includes all of the following:

                       

                                                

   (a)    a legend or subject line that says: “Intellectual Property Infringement Notice”;

                                                      

   (b)    a description of the intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;

                                                      

   (c)    a description of where the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity is located that is reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (please include the URL or page of the Service on which the material appears);

                                                      

   (d)    your full name, address, telephone number and email address;

                                                      

   (e)    a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the owner of the intellectual property, its agent, or the law;

                                                      

   (f)    a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the owner of the intellectual property at issue (or, if you are not the owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of the intellectual property that is allegedly infringed); and

                                                      

   (g)    your electronic or physical signature.

                                                  

                                            

   We will act on such notices in our sole discretion.  We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing material. Any user of the Service that fails to respond satisfactorily to BBWD with regard to any such notice of infringement related to User Content, is subject to suspension or termination.

    11.    Dispute Resolution

                    
                        

    PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY, AS YOU ARE WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE WITH US AND ARE AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

                                         

    A. First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, dispute or claim arises out of or relates to the Service, including, without limitation, gift cards offered via the Service, any advertising or marketing communications regarding BBWD or the Service, any products or services sold or distributed through the Service, the Content, your User Content, these Terms, any Additional Terms, or any other controversy, allegation, dispute or claim against BBWD, its parent, and all of their related entities, regarding any interaction or transaction between you and or BBWD, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of BBWD’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”, which includes those actions set forth in Section 11(F)), then you and we agree to engage in good-faith informal efforts to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute by sending a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 11(A). Your notice to us must be sent via email to: chieflegalofficer@bbw.com.  The written description included in your notice must be on an individual basis and provide at least the following information: your name; the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; the date of any purchase or transaction at issue (if any and if available), and the relief sought. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, BBWD and you agree to negotiate in good faith about the dispute through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference between you and BBWD in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or BBWD to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and BBWD, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable. The informal telephonic dispute resolution conferences shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. If either party is represented by counsel, that party’s counsel may participate in the informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, but the party also must appear at and participate in the conference. This informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. If you reside in the U.S. (and as applicable to U.S. residents), certain portions of this Section 11 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and BBWD agree that we intend that this Section 11 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).

                                               

    B. Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 11(A) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY DISPUTE ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND BBWD (whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, any other intentional tort or negligence), common law, constitutional provision, respondeat superior, agency or any other legal or equitable theory), whether arising before or after the effective date of these Terms, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

                                               

    For U.S. residents, the FAA, not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between BBWD and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Service, including the “No Class Action Matters” Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. BBWD and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated in Section 11(J) below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and BBWD regarding these Terms and the Service or any other type of Dispute described in Section 16(A), whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction’s choice of law principles. An Excluded Dispute will only be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 11 if the parties mutually agree.

                                             

    Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current: (i) Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association “AAA”) then in effect since the matter involves a “consumer” agreement as defined by Consumer Arbitration Rule R-1; and if such Consumer Arbitration Rules do not apply then: (ii) the Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, “Rules”) of the AAA, except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by the AAA.  If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of BBWD consent to in writing.

                                             

    C. Arbitration Process. If after sixty (60) days the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 11(A) above is unsuccessful in resolving the parties’ dispute, a party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Rules. (The AAA provides applicable forms for Demands for Arbitration available at (Commercial Arbitration Rules) and (Consumer Arbitration Rules), and a separate affidavit for waiver of fees for California residents only is available at https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Waiver_of_Fees_CA_Only.pdf.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state or county in which you reside. The parties will first attempt to agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the AAA’s list of eligible neutrals, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the Rules.     The arbitration may be conducted by telephone or based on written submissions, and if an in-person hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs (and please note that you will be responsible for a portion or percentage of such fees) in accordance with the requirements of the Rules; but if the Rules (or other applicable arbitration rules or laws) require BBWD to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 11 to be enforceable, then BBWD will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration.  Except as set forth in Section 11(D), the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages on an individual basis and to grant, on an individual basis, any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual to the extent available under applicable law, the Rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator’s award of damages and/or other relief must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability“ Section above as to the types and the amounts of damages or other relief for which a party may be held liable. If a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual claims will be arbitrated.  In such a case, the court shall stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. Attorneys’ fees will be available to the prevailing party in the arbitration only if authorized under applicable substantive law governing the claims in the arbitration. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), BBWD will have the right to recover its attorneys’ fees and expenses. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Service. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.

                                               

    D. Special Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against BBWD by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. You also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process and application of the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for BBWD shall each select five (5) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process; the parties may but are not required to agree in writing to modify the number of cases to be included in the bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings pursuant to this provision. In the bellwether process, a single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator during the bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. After decisions have been rendered in the first ten (10) cases, BBWD and all claimants shall engage in a global mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases with the benefit of the decisions in the bellwether cases. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the mediation, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. After decisions have been rendered in the second group of twenty (20) cases, BBWD and all claimants shall engage in a second global mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases with the benefit of the decisions in the decided bellwether cases; if a global settlement cannot be reached in the second mediation, the parties also may discuss with the mediator the process for resolving the remaining cases with the benefit of the decisions in the first two (2) rounds of bellwether cases; the parties are not required to agree to any modifications to the process set forth herein. Absent a settlement or agreement to modify the procedure for arbitrating the remaining cases, in order to increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, the arbitration provider shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of fifty (50) demands per batch (to the extent there are fewer than fifty (50) arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining demands); (ii) designate one (1) arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide for a single filing fee due per side per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with BBWD and the arbitration provider to implement such a “batch approach” or other similar approach to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of claims. This “Batch Arbitration” provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitration of any kind. BBWD does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as set forth in this Section 11(D). The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this Section 11(D) from the time of the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected to proceed, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this Section 11(D) and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against BBWD.

                                               

    E. Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT AN EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(A)) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in Section 11(A); (b) filing for arbitration as set forth in Section 11(B); or (c) filing an action in state, Federal or provincial court.

                                               

    F. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11 will not apply to any legal action taken by BBWD to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Service, any Content, your User Content and/or BBWD’s intellectual property rights (including any that BBWD may claim are in dispute), BBWD’s operations, and/or BBWD’s products or services.  

                                               

    G. No Class Action Matters. YOU AND BBWD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Except as expressly contemplated for mass arbitrations set forth in Section 11(D), Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party.  There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated.  But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 11(B) to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 11(H). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.  The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.  Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire Section 11 shall be void.  If any portion of this Section 11 other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Section 11.

                                                   

    H. Jurisdictional Issues. Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in Franklin County, Ohio.  Accordingly, you and BBWD consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

                                               

    I. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court on an individual basis for disputes and actions within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction.

                                               

    J. Governing Law. These Terms and any Additional Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and any Dispute and Excluded Dispute will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

    These Terms (or if applicable Additional Terms), in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable services to which it applies, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use).  AS OUR SERVICE EVOLVES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE SERVICE MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE SERVICE UNDER THE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED.  ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE THE SERVICE YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE SERVICE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS.  Therefore, you should review the posted terms of use and any applicable Additional Terms each time you use the Service (at least prior to each transaction or submission).  The Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you.  However, the Terms (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Service will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed.  In the event any notice to you of new, revised or Additional Terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs.  You should frequently check the web page hosting these Terms and the email you associated with your account for notices, and you agree that the means set forth in these Terms are all reasonable manners of providing you with notice.  You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing use of the Service and related services.

    16.    General Provisions

                    
                        

    A. BBWD’s Consent or Approval. As to any provision in these Terms or any Additional Terms that grant BBWD a right of consent or approval, or permits BBWD to exercise a right in its “sole discretion,” BBWD may exercise that right in its sole and absolute discretion.  No opt-in consent or approval may be deemed to have been granted by BBWD without being in writing and signed by an officer of BBWD.    

                                               

    B. Indemnity.  You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the BBWD Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to: (i) your User Content; (ii) your use of the Service and your activities in connection with the Service; (iii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms or any Additional Terms; (iv) your violation or alleged violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities in connection with your use of the Service or your activities in connection with the Service; (v) information or material transmitted through your Device, even if not submitted by you, that infringes, violates, or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy, or other right of any person or entity; (vi) any misrepresentation made by you; and (vii) BBWD Parties’ use of the information that you submit to us (including your User Content) (all of the foregoing, “Claims and Losses”).  You will cooperate as fully required by BBWD Parties in the defense of any Claims and Losses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, BBWD Parties retain the exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay any and all Claims and Losses.  BBWD Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims and Losses.  You will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each instance, the prior written consent of an officer of a BBWD Party.

                                               

    C. Operation of Service; Availability of Products and Services; International Issues. The Service is operated in the United States, and is primarily intended for users located in the U.S.  BBWD makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use beyond the U.S.  If you use the Service from other locations, you are doing so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws regarding your online conduct and acceptable content, if and to the extent local laws apply.  We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Service and/or the provision of any content, program, product, service, or other feature described or available on the Service to any person, entity, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service, or other feature that we provide.  You and we disclaim any application to these Terms of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

                                               

    D. Severability; Interpretation . If any provision of these Terms, or any Additional Terms, is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms or the Additional Terms, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms or the Additional Terms (which will remain in full force and effect).  To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to waive, and you hereby waive, any applicable statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be construed against its drafter.  Wherever the word “including” is used in these Terms or any Additional Terms, the word will be deemed to mean “including, without limitation,”.  The summaries of provisions and section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms.

                                               

    E. Communications. As permitted by applicable law, when you communicate with us electronically, such as via email and text message, you consent to receive communications from us electronically.  Please note that we are not obligated to respond to inquiries that we receive.  You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.  

                                               

    F. Investigations; Cooperation with Law Enforcement; Termination; Survival. BBWD reserves the right, without any limitation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of its Service security or its information technology or other systems or networks, (ii) investigate any suspected breaches of these Terms and any Additional Terms, (iii) investigate any information obtained by BBWD in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with criminal laws, (iv) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any of the foregoing matters, (v) prosecute violators of these Terms and any Additional Terms, and (vi) discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, or, except as may be expressly set forth in any Additional Terms, suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any user accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party.   Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to BBWD under these Terms or any Additional Terms.  Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Service, or upon notice from BBWD, all rights granted to you under these Terms or any Additional Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Service.  The provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms (including the terms applicable to User Content), which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to BBWD in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

                                               

    G. Assignment. BBWD may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms and any Additional Terms, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice.  These Terms and any Additional Terms may not be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of BBWD.  

                                               

    H. No Waiver. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or any Additional Terms: (i) no failure or delay by you or BBWD in exercising any of rights, powers, or remedies hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms or any Additional Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.  For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be construed to restrict BBWD’s right to amend these Terms or any Additional Terms as otherwise permitted in those agreements.
