DISPUTES/ARBITRATION.
PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO YOUR USE OF ANY OF THE SITES TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEED IN COURT. IF YOU WANT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, THIS PROVISION DESCRIBES THE PROCEDURES YOU MUST FOLLOW TO DO SO. THIS PROVISION ALSO INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO PROCEED WITH ANY DISPUTE INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION. THIS AGREEMENT ALSO INCLUDES A JURY WAIVER.
It is Beauty-Addict.com’s goal that the Sites meet your expectations and that you are satisfied. However, there may be instances when you have a problem or dispute that needs special attention. In those instances, Beauty-Addict.com is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution that satisfies you; however, we can only do this if we know about and understand your issue. Therefore, for any problem or dispute that you may have with Beauty-Addict.com, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give Beauty-Addict.com an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes you first sending a written description of your problem or dispute to Beauty-Addict.com, 26730 Towne Centre Drive, Suite 202, Foothill Ranch, CA 92610. You then agree to negotiate with Beauty-Addict.com in good faith about your problem or dispute. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after Beauty-Addict.com’s receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below.
You agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of your use of any of the Sites and these Terms shall be final and binding arbitration, except to the extent that you have in any manner infringed upon or violated or threatened to infringe upon or violate any of the Beauty-Addict.com Entities’ or any third party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy or publicity rights, in which case you acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought by the Beauty-Addict.com Entities and/or the applicable third party(ies). You and we acknowledge that the Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under the Agreement (despite any other choice of law provision).
Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted by JAMS. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures). Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You and we agree to pay our own fees, costs, and expenses, including those for any attorneys, experts, and witnesses. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. In addition, for claims under $75,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith with Beauty-Addict.com as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, Beauty-Addict.com agrees not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law. As a limited exception to the agreement to arbitrate, you and we agree that you may take claims to small claims court, if your claims qualify for hearing by such court.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
If you do not agree to this mandatory arbitration provision with regard to your use of any of the Sites, then prior to accessing and/or using any of the Sites, you may opt-out of this part of the Terms by calling the Beauty-Addict.com Customer Service Center at 949-600-7888 or sending written notification to the following address: Beauty-Addict.com 26730 Towne Centre Drive, Suite 202, Foothill Ranch, CA 92610.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER VISITOR OF THE SITES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
WE BOTH AGREE THAT, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND BEAUTY-ADDICT.COM BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL INVOLVING ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN US.
In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Application or this Agreement be instituted more than three (3) years after the cause of action arose.

We automatically collect your IP address, or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for the Device (computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device), you use to access the Platforms.

A pixel tag may tell your browser to get content from another server.
• To learn how you may be able to reduce the number of cookies you receive from us, or delete cookies that have already been installed in your browser’s cookie folder, please refer to your browser’s help menu, or other instructions related to your browser. If you do disable, or opt out of receiving cookies, please be aware that some features and services on our Platforms may not work properly, because we may not be able to recognize, and associate you with your Beauty-Addict.com account(s). In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us, may not be as relevant to you, or tailored to your interests. If you block, or delete cookies, not all tracking that we have described in this privacy statement will stop. Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are not currently setup to respond to those signals.

Important Information
• Children’s Privacy. Beauty-Addict.com does not seek information from children under the age of 13.
• Phishing Scams. Beauty-Addict.com will never ask you to update your personal information through email.
• Acceptance. By using the Sites, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
5. CHILDREN.
• The Platforms are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personally identifiable information from anyone under 13 years of age. If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use, or maintain his/her Personal Information, without the parent/guardian’s consent. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records.
6. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION.
• We take information security seriously, and use certain reasonable security measures to help protect your Personal Information. However, no electronic data transmission, or storage of information, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you use the Platforms, and provide us with your information, at your own risk. When we collect sensitive information on our sites, or within our mobile application (such as credit card number, or geo-location information), we encrypt the transmission.
• Beware of Phishing Scams: There have been noticeable increases in the number of suspicious e-mails, claiming that the e-mail recipient has won a lottery or other promotion. Sometimes the e-mail claims that the recipient has won a new product or service. In order to claim the prize, the e-mail asks that Personal Information be sent to a Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail address.
• This type of e-mail solicitation is known commonly as a “phishing” scam, with the primary objective being to obtain one’s personal information. This information can then be utilized to steal a person’s identity. For example, a “Lottery” phishing scam is often sent from Chinese (.cn), German (.de) or British (.co.uk) addresses, but can originate from anywhere, and look very official even to the savviest of Internet users. Beauty-Addict.com will never ask you to send passwords, login names, Social Security numbers, or other personal information through e-mail, or U.S. mail, or fax, or text message. If you receive an email, or letter by U.S. mail, or fax, or text message, from Beauty-Addict.com asking you to update your credit card information, do not respond: this is a phishing scam! Recipients of suspicious e-mail like this, should delete the message from their in-box, and, if possible, update their e-mail filter settings, to block e-mails from the e-mail address being used. The Federal Trade Commission and the Anti-phishing Workgroup are also good sources of information about these types of security threats, and how they may be reported to the authorities.
7. OTHER SITES.
• The Platforms may contain links to other sites that we do not own or operate, as well as, links from advertisers, sponsors and/or partners. We do not control, recommend, or endorse, and are not responsible for these sites, or their content, products, services, or privacy policies or practices, even though they may use the Beauty-Addict.com name or logo on their site, through an agreement with us. These other sites may send their own cookies to your Devices, they may independently collect data, or solicit Personal Information, and may have their own published privacy policies. You should also independently assess the authenticity of any site, which appears, or claims that it is one of our Platforms (including those linked to through an email, or social networking page).
• The Platforms may make available chat rooms, forums, message boards, and news groups. Remember that any information that you disclose in these areas becomes public information, and is not subject to the provisions of this Privacy Notice.

Such providers may place and access cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies on your Device to serve you ads, or other content personalized to your interests, which they infer from your precise location, and/or your browsing on the Platforms, and other sites you have visited. In doing so, the provider collects, or has access to non-Personal Information, such as your Usage Information. The use of cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies by these providers, is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours.

These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The DAA Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS – YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
• Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, residents of the State of California have the right to request certain information from companies conducting business in California relating to third parties to which the company has disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that a company may comply, as we do, by disclosing in its privacy policy that it provides consumers a choice (opt-out or opt-in) regarding sharing personal information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and information on how to exercise that choice. As stated above in this Privacy Policy, Company provides you a choice prior to sharing your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you do not opt-in or if you choose to opt-out at the time Company offers that choice, Company does not share your information with that identified third party for its direct marketing purposes.
