DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITS OF LIABILITY 

Clause 5 above shall be supplemented with the following:

No Warranties.
UNLESS WE EXPRESSLY WARRANT SOMETHING, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: ALL WARRANTIES ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, NON-ENCUMBRANCE, OR TITLE, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICES. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT YOUR ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT THE WEBSITE WILL FUNCTION ERROR-FREE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNLESS WE EXPRESSLY WARRANT SOMETHING, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST CONTENT OR OTHER DATA, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY, INCLUDING GOOD FAITH OR REASONABLE CARE. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORESEEABILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 

Applicability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability. Accordingly, some of the above limitations set forth above may not apply to you. 

CHOICE OF LAW AND JURISDICTION; ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS

Clause 7 above shall be replaced by the following:

These Conditions contain the following “Arbitration Agreement” where you waive your right to a jury trial and to bring a class action.

What is arbitration?
Legal disputes are usually resolved in a court of law in front of a judge and, sometimes, a jury. Court cases are a matter of public record. Arbitration is a less formal and more private way of resolving disputes. Instead of going to court, the parties give their arguments and evidence to an arbitrator, and the arbitrator decides who “wins” the case by applying the law in the same way that a judge would. In fact, many arbitrators are retired judges or lawyers. Instead of a courtroom, arbitrations are generally held in a private office, such as a conference room, or by videoconference. 

What is our Arbitration Agreement?
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND US RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, PRODUCTS, THESE CONDITIONS, THE PRIVACY POLICY, OR ANY OF THE OTHER APPLICABLE TERMS OR POLICIES MUST BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. This includes contractual and non-contractual claims and means that we all agree that we will only resolve our legal disputes through arbitration and not in a court of law. Without this Arbitration Agreement, you would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial.

How will the arbitration work?
The arbitration must be filed and conducted through JAMS (https://www.jamsadr.com/), which is a provider of arbitration services in the United States and internationally. JAMS’ Streamlined Rules will apply to the arbitration. All claims, remedies, and defenses that either you or we have under applicable law (whether federal, state, or local) will remain available in the arbitration. Each of us will participate in choosing a neutral arbitrator using the process in the Streamlined Rules. Unless you waive this requirement, the final arbitration hearing (which is like a trial) will take place in person at the JAMS facility closest to your home, provided that either party may elect to conduct the hearing by remote means such as videoconference. The arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement explaining the arbitrator’s decision on each claim. The award will also include a concise written statement of the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. 

What law will the arbitrator follow?
The laws of the State of New York will govern these Conditions, and the arbitrator will apply New York law to the claims in the arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

Who pays for the arbitration?
In most cases, the only fee you will have to pay to JAMS is the initial fee e.g., $250; we will pay all other arbitration costs. However, if the arbitrator decides that you filed your claim in bad faith and without any legal basis, the arbitrator can require you to pay more of the JAMS fees for the arbitration. 

The JAMS fees do not include attorney’s fees. Regardless of who wins the claim, you will be responsible for paying your attorney’s fees, and we will be responsible for paying ours. The only exception is if the claim is brought under a law that specifically allows a party to recover its attorney’s fees. If this applies, the arbitrator may award attorney’s fees as they see fit under such law. 

Are there any instances where a court will get involved?
Yes. There are things an arbitrator cannot do, like order a party to act or stop doing something—this is known as “equitable relief.” Either one of us can go to court and seek equitable relief, including by filing a motion to compel the other party to honor the Arbitration Agreement. However, you and we agree that the only courts where we will seek equitable relief—or file any legal proceeding outside of arbitration—are the state and federal courts located in New York, New York, which will have exclusive jurisdiction. This exception for equitable relief does not waive our Arbitration Agreement.

Can I file a class action?
No. You and we agree that we will only file claims against each other individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in a representative proceeding. THIS MEANS CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED. 

LIMITED LICENSE; AND DMCA
Clause 2 above shall be supplemented with the following:
If you comply with the terms of these Conditions, the Vendor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable license to access and use the Website for the intended purpose. This license does not allow you reproduce, modify, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, distribute, transmit, or otherwise exploit (for any commercial purpose or otherwise) any part of the Website without prior written permission. The Vendor reserves all rights not expressly granted. 

You may create an account to access parts of the Website. You warrant that you will only provide complete and accurate information. It is also up to you to ensure your username and password are secure. You agree not to share your account login details with anyone else. If you believe your Account has been accessed without your permission, you should immediately notify us. If you violate this policy, we may terminate your account and your rights and licenses under these Conditions.

Just as we ask you and other users to respect our intellectual property rights, we respect rights of others; and we follow the takedown procedures in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe content on the Website violates your copyright, please immediately notify the Vendor by emailing a DMCA takedown notice ("Infringement Notice") to us with all of the following:

  • Identification of your copyrighted work.
  • A description of the content you believe infringes your copyright (the “Infringing Content”). 
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  •  The name, address, telephone number, email address, or other information of the infringer.
  • A written statement by you that:
    - You believe in good faith that the use of the material that you claim to infringe your copyright is not authorized by the copyright owner or by law; and
    - You declare, under penalty of perjury, that your Infringement Notice is accurate, and that you are either the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Your signature as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

You should send your Infringement Notice to privacy@viviennewestwood.com  with the subject line “DMCA Infringement Notice,” and we will respond as required under the DMCA. The DMCA requires that your Infringement Notice be submitted in good faith. This means you are required to evaluate whether the use of your content on the Website is a “fair use.” If you are not sure, you should consult with an attorney. If you submit an Infringement Notice in bad faith, the user who posted the Infringing Content could have legal claims against you. Infringement Notices are not anonymous. If we act in response to your Infringement Notice, we will pass on your Infringement Notice for a response.
