These Terms of Use apply to the Giraffe website located at www.giraffebathandbody.com and all other sites, services, and tools where these Terms of Use appear or are linked (collectively, the “Site”). As used in these Terms of Use, “Giraffe,” “us,” or “we” refers to Giraffe Bath & Body, LLC, and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE.

These Terms of Use apply to your access to, and use of, all or part of any website or mobile application of Giraffe Bath & Body, LLC (“GIRAFFE”) or its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, “GIRAFFE”), including www.giraffebathandbody.com, and any other site, mobile application or online service where these Terms of Use are posted (collectively, the “Sites”). These Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with GIRAFFE for products, services or otherwise. If you are using the site on behalf of any entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms of Use on such entity’s behalf and that such entity agrees to indemnify you and GIRAFFE for violations of these Terms of Use. This agreement contains disclaimers and other provisions that limit our liability to you.

In the event there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms of Use and any other terms of use that appear on the Sites, these Terms of Use will govern. However, if you navigate away from the Sites to a third-party site, you may be subject to alternative terms and conditions of use, as may be specified on such website. In such event, the terms and conditions of use applicable to that site will govern your use of that site.

While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and timely information about GIRAFFE on the Sites, you should not assume that the information is always up to date or that the Sites contain all the relevant information available about GIRAFFE.

GIRAFFE reserves the right to change or modify these Terms of Use or any policy or guideline of the Sites, at any time and in its sole discretion. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the revisions to the Sites, and you waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Your continued use of the Sites will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications; therefore, you should frequently review these Terms of Use and applicable policies to understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of our Sites. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you must stop using the Sites.

Restrictions on Use

The Sites may include interactive areas in which you or other registered users may create, post, send or store messages, materials, data, information, text, music, sound, photos, video, graphics, applications, tags, code, links or other items or materials on the Sites (“User Content”). By using the Sites, you agree not to post, upload, transmit, distribute, store, create, or otherwise publish through the Sites any of the following:

  • Unless specifically requested by GIRAFFE, any “sensitive” personally identifiable information about yourself or another person (including, but not limited to, information that relates to health or medical conditions, social security numbers, credit cards, bank accounts or other financial information, additional information concerning trade union membership, sex life, political opinions, criminal charges or convictions, religious beliefs, racial or ethnic origin, or other sensitive matters);
  • User Content that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent, otherwise objectionable or which threatens our relationships with our employees, partners, customers or suppliers;
  • User content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party. By posting any User Content, you represent and warrant that you have the lawful right to distribute and produce such User Content;
  • User Content that impersonates any person or entity or otherwise misrepresents your identity or affiliation with another person or entity;
  • Spam, direct marketing communications or any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials or other forms of solicitation or commercial content;
  • User Content that constitutes encourages or provides instructions for a criminal offense, violates the rights of any party or that creates liability or violates any applicable local, state, national or international law;
  • Viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, Easter eggs or any other harmful, disruptive or destructive files; and
  • User Content that, in the sole judgment of GIRAFFE, is objectionable, restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Sites or which damages the image or rights of GIRAFFE, other users or third parties.

GIRAFFE does not control, take responsibility for or assume liability for any User Content posted, stored or uploaded by you or any third party, or for any loss or damage thereto, nor is GIRAFFE liable for any user conduct or any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity you may encounter. The interactive areas are generally designed as open and public community areas for connecting and sharing with other people. When you participate in these areas, you understand that certain information and content you choose to post may be displayed publicly. You are solely responsible for your use of the Sites and agree to use the interactive areas at your own risk.

If you become aware of User Content that you believe violates these Terms of Use (with the exception of copyright infringement which is addressed in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice section), you may report it by clicking on the “Report Abuse” or “Flag” links located just below each piece of User Content. Enforcement of these Terms of Use, however, is solely at our discretion and absence of enforcement in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the Terms of Use in other instances. In addition, these Terms of Use do not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation or promise that the Sites will not contain any content that is prohibited by these Terms of Use. Although GIRAFFE has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Content posted on the Sites, GIRAFFE reserves the right and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content on the Sites at any time and for any reason without notice. You are solely responsible for creating backup copies and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Sites at your sole cost and expense.

If you are viewing the Sites on a public computer or are otherwise using a computer to which multiple people have potential access, be sure to follow all relevant instructions to ensure you are sufficiently disconnected and logged off the Sites and the computer system you are using to prevent unauthorized User Content.

License to User Content

You represent and warrant that your User Content is not subject to any confidentiality obligations and that you own and control all of the rights to the User Content or otherwise have the right to grant the rights to GIRAFFE that you grant herein. GIRAFFE claims no ownership or control over any User Content, except as otherwise provided herein, on the Sites or in a separate agreement. However, by submitting or posting User Content on the Sites, you grant GIRAFFE and its designee’s a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid up and royalty-free license to use, sell, reproduce, prepare derivative works, combine with other works, alter, translate, distribute copies, display, perform, publish, license or sub-license the User Content and your name and likeness in connection with such use of your User Content. By posting User Content, you hereby release GIRAFFE and its agents and employees from any claims that such use, as authorized above, violates any of your rights and you understand that you will not be entitled to any compensation for any use of your User Content.

Links

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive right to create text hyperlinks to the Sites for non-commercial purposes, provided such links do not portray GIRAFFE in a false, misleading, derogatory or otherwise defamatory manner and provided further that the linking site does not contain any obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit or illegal material or any material that is offensive, harassing or otherwise objectionable. This limited right may be revoked at any time. In addition, you may not use GIRAFFE’ logo or other proprietary graphics to link to our Sites without our express written permission. Further, you may not use, frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any GIRAFFE trademark, logo or other proprietary information, including the images found at the Sites, the content of any text or the layout/design of any page or form contained on a page on the Sites without our express written consent. Except as noted above, you are not conveyed any right or license by implication, estoppel or otherwise in or under any patent, trademark, copyright or proprietary right of GIRAFFE or any third party.

GIRAFFE makes no claim or representation regarding and accepts no responsibility for, the quality, content, nature or reliability of embedded content, third-party websites accessible via hyperlink or websites linking to the Sites. Such sites are not under the control of GIRAFFE and GIRAFFE is not responsible for any embedded content or the content of any linked site or any link contained in a linked site, or any review, changes or updates to such sites. GIRAFFE and its users may provide these links as a convenience to you, but the inclusion of any link does not imply affiliation, endorsement or adoption by GIRAFFE of any site or any information contained therein. When you visit other sites via links or embedded content, you should understand that our terms and policies no longer govern and that the terms and policies of those third party sites will now apply. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any site to which you navigate from our Sites.

Third-Party Content

GIRAFFE may provide third party content on the Sites and links to web pages and content of third parties (collectively, “Third Party Content”) as a service to those interested in this information. We do not control, endorse, or adopt any Third Party Content and can make no guarantee as to its accuracy or completeness. You acknowledge and agree that GIRAFFE is not responsible or liable in any manner for any Third Party Content and undertakes no responsibility to update or review such Third Party Content. You agree to use such Third Party Content contained therein at your own risk.

Advertisements and Promotions; Third-Party Products and Services

GIRAFFE may display advertisements and promotions from third parties on the Sites or may otherwise provide information about or links to third-party products or services. Your business dealings or correspondence with, or participation in promotions of, such third parties, and any terms conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings or promotions, are solely between you and such third party. GIRAFFE is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of such dealings or promotions or as the result of the presence of such non-GIRAFFE advertisers or third party information on the Sites.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GIRAFFE and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, or any other damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of income, profits, goodwill, data, contracts, use of money, or loss or damage arising from or connected in any way to business interruption, whether in tort (including without limitation negligence), contract or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the use of or inability to use the Sites, the content or the materials contained in or accessed through the Sites, including without limitation any damages caused by or resulting from reliance by a user on any information obtained from GIRAFFE, or that result from mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files or e-mail, errors, defects, viruses, delays in operation or transmission or any failure of performance, whether or not resulting from acts of God, communications failure, theft, destruction or unauthorized access to GIRAFFE’ records, programs or services. In no event shall the aggregate liability of GIRAFFE, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), product liability, strict liability or other theory, arising out of or relating to the use of or inability to use the Sites exceed any compensation you pay, if any, to GIRAFFE for access to or use of the Sites. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability in contracts with consumers, so some or all of these limitations of liability may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GIRAFFE, its independent contractors, service providers and consultants, and their respective directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, damages, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Sites; (b) any User Content or Ideas you provide; (c) your violation of these Terms of Use; (d) your violation of any rights of another; or (e) your conduct in connection with the Sites.

Any legal action or proceeding relating to your access to, or use of, the Sites or these Terms of Use shall be instituted only in a state or federal court located in Dallas County, Texas. You and GIRAFFE agree to submit to the jurisdiction of and agree that venue is proper in, these courts in any such legal action or proceeding.
