Third-Party Links.
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, this
Site may contain links to other sites on the Internet that are owned
and operated by third party vendors and other third parties (the

affiliated with Wella, The Wella Corporation has no control over
these linked sites, all of which have separate privacy and data
collection practices, independent of Wella. The Wella Corporation
has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies
or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of such web sites. These linked sites are only for your
convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk. Links
do not imply that the Wella Corporation sponsors, endorses, is affiliated
with or associated with, or has been legally authorized to use any
trademark, trade name, service mark, design, logo, symbol or other
copyrighted materials displayed on or accessible through such External
Sites. Nonetheless, The Wella Corporation seeks to protect the integrity
of its Site and the links placed upon it and therefore requests
any feedback on not only its own Site, but for sites it links to
as well (including if a specific link does not work). You should
contact the Site administrator or Webmaster for those External Sites
if you have any concerns regarding such links or the content located
on such External Sites.
Claims.
Each claim or statement about the effectiveness of the Wella Corporation
products and/or each claim or statement comparing the effectiveness
of the Wella Corporation products to the effectiveness of other
products is expressly limited to the United States, unless otherwise
disclosed on the Site.
Disclaimer.
The Wella Corporation makes no warranties or representations about
the accuracy or completeness of this Site's content or the content
of any site or External Sites.
The Wella Corporation does not filter advertisements or other
content that children may view through our sites or "hot-linked"

parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and
to consider using an electronic filtering software.
This site and the materials, information, services, and products
in this site, including, without limitation, text, graphics, and
links, are provided "as is" and without warranties of
any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible
pursuant to applicable law, the Wella Corporation disclaims all
warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement, freedom from computer virus, and warranties arising
from course of dealing or course of performance. The Wella Corporation
does not represent or warrant that the functions contained in the
site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected,
or that this site or the server that makes the site available are

The above limitations may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability.
In no event shall the Wella Corporation be liable for any direct,
indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary or consequential,
damages, or any damages whatsoever, even if the Wella Corporation

whether in an action under contract, negligence, or any other theory,
arising out of or in connection with the use, inability to use,
or performance of the information, services, products, and materials
available from this site. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding
any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Because
some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of liability for
consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not
apply to you.
Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Wella, its officers,
directors, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers (collectively
the "Provider") from and against all losses, expenses,
damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting

conduct), by you or any other person accessing the Site using your
Internet account.
Applicable Laws.

but not limited to the purchase of The Wella Corporation products)
must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of
action arises. Wella's failure to insist upon or enforce strict
performance of any provision of these terms and conditions shall
not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither
the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall
act to modify any of these terms and conditions. The Wella Corporation
may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party
at any time without notice to you.
The Wella Corporation makes no representation that materials in
the Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations,
and access to them from territories where their content is illegal
is prohibited. Those who choose to access this Site from locations
outside Ohio do so on their own initiative and are responsible for
compliance with applicable local laws. You may not use or export
the materials in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations.
Any claim relating to the materials shall be governed by the internal
substantive laws of the State of California.
Arbitration.
By using this Site, you agree that Wella, at its sole discretion,

about filling gaps in this contract or its adaptation to newly arisen
circumstances, to final and binding arbitration under the International
Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, by
one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules.
Notwithstanding these rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed
by the laws of the state as set forth in the previous section.

be limited to monetary damages and shall include no injunction or
direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary
amount. Further, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award

except as may be required by statute.
