(2) The categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected.

(3) The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling Personal Information.

(4) The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information.

(5) The specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.

We do not sell consumer Personal Information. We may from time to time disclose consumer Personal Information for a business purpose, such as operational purposes, or other notified purposes, that are reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the operational purpose for which the Personal Information was collected or processed or otherwise is compatible with the context in which the Personal Information was collected.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose to you, upon our receipt from you of a verifiable request, the categories of Personal Information that we have disclosed about you for a business purpose.

If you are a California resident, you also have the right under the CCPA to request the deletion of your Personal Information that we collect. All such requests are subject to verification according to methods determined by us. You may submit a request for the deletion of your Personal Information by sending an email to us.

Even though we do not sell consumer Personal Information, if you are a California resident, you also have the right under the CCPA to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information. All such requests are subject to verification according to methods determined by us. You may submit an opt-out request by sending an email to us or by clicking the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link on the Website.

Accordingly, we will ask you to confirm your date of birth and postal address, and we also may request a copy of your valid government-issued identification.

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. However, nothing prohibits us from charging a consumer a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services to the consumer, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the consumer by the consumer’s data.

You may exercise any of the California Privacy Rights described in this section by sending such a request to us by email. We may ask you to verify your identity before taking further action on your request. Consistent with California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

(1) Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by the consumer, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with the consumer, or otherwise perform a contract between us and the consumer.

(2) Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.

(3) Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

(4) Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.

(5) Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.

(6) Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if the consumer has provided informed consent.

(7) To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer's relationship with us.

(8) Comply with a legal obligation.

(9) Otherwise use the consumer's Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

Informal Dispute Resolution

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, with the significant costs arising from legal disputes, not only in dollars but also in time and energy, both you and L’Occitane agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: In the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to any transaction conducted on the Websites, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement or any part of it (“Dispute”), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notices shall be sent

  1. To L’Occitane at: L’Occitane Inc., Legal Department, 111 W 33rd St, 20th Floor New York, NY 10120, or 
  2. To you at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.

Both you and L’Occitane agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.

Arbitration Agreement

To the extent you cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, a Dispute shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”). You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement and with respect to any Dispute. You and L’Occitane expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

You may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending a letter requesting arbitration to L’Occitane, Attn: Legal Dep’t, 111 W 33rd St, 20th Floor New York, NY 10120. You agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules. L’Occitane will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000. L’Occitane. waives its right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually-agreed location.

This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement provisions shall survive after this Agreement terminates or your use of the Websites ends.

In lieu of arbitration, either you or L’Occitane may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim.

Waiver of Right to Bring Class Actions and Representative Claims

All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis, and not on a consolidated, representative or collective action basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and L’Occitane agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and L’Occitane hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular cause of action, then that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration.

Termination

With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement, which shall survive the termination of these terms, this Agreement and the Terms of Use shall remain effective unless and until terminated by either you or L’Occitane. You may terminate this Agreement at any time. L’Occitane also may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice, and accordingly may deny you access to the Websites, if in our sole judgment you fail to comply with any term or provision of the Agreement. The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this Agreement for all purposes.
