In addition to the personal information we collect from you directly, we may also obtain information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly available sources. For example, if you have given Blushington permission to store your credit card information and your credit card issuer provides an account updater service, we may receive updated credit card information (including credit card number and expiration date) from the credit card issuer.

Blushington may combine information collected from you with demographic and other information that is publicly available or that we obtain from third parties. Blushington may use this combined information for the purposes described above.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use personal information in the following ways:

• To identify you when you visit our websites or stores.
• To fulfill your requests, such as to provide you with products and services or to process returns.
• To communicate with you about our products, services, sales, offers, and promotions.
• To conduct research and analytics, including improving our services and product offerings.
• To send marketing and advertising communications.
• To detect security incidents, and to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, including attempts to manipulate or violate our policies, procedures, and terms and conditions.
• To comply with legal obligations, to establish or exercise our rights, and to defend against a legal claim.
• To support core business functions, including to maintain records related to business process management, loss and fraud prevention, and to collect amounts owing to us.

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your personal information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you complete an online purchase, we collect your information to perform our contract with you, but we also collect your information so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions about your order after your transaction is complete.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

we disclose personal information in the following circumstances:

• Corporate affiliates. We may share personal information with our corporate affiliates, including ***. 
• We share certain personal information with third parties that perform services to support our core business functions and internal operations (e.g., fulfilling orders, delivering packages, complying with your request for the shipment of products to or the provision of services by a third party intermediary, sending postal mail and e-mails, analyzing customer data, providing marketing assistance, administering our Ratings & Reviews, supporting beacons, processing credit card and debit card payments, investigating fraudulent activity, conducting customer surveys, and providing customer service).
• Third Party Partners. We may share your personal information with third parties that we have partnered with to jointly create and offer a product, service or joint promotion. Their use of your information is not governed by this privacy policy.
• Social Media Platforms and Networks. Some of our websites have features such as, plugins, widgets, or and other tools made available by third parties that may result in information being collected or shared between us and the third party. For example, if you use Facebook’s “Like” feature, Facebook may register the fact that you “liked” a product and may post that information on Facebook. Their use of your information is not governed by this privacy policy.
• Legal Process. We may disclose personal information in response to subpoenas, warrants, court orders, government inquiries or investigations, or to comply with relevant laws and regulations. We may also disclose information to establish, exercise, or protect the rights of our company, employees, agents, and affiliates; to defend against a legal claim; to protect the safety and security of our visitors; to detect and protect against fraud; and to take action regarding possible illegal activities or violations of our policies.
• Other Instances. We may ask if you would like us to share your information with other third parties who are not described elsewhere in this privacy policy.

SECURITY

Your personal and contact information is stored on servers located in the United States. Though we and our service providers use multiple technologies and tools to protect your personal and contact information against unauthorized disclosure and use, no method of securing data is foolproof or completely effective, and third parties may unlawfully access or intercept data transmissions, communications or stored data, and may unlawfully use the data. Thus, although we take reasonable measures to protect the private data that we hold, we cannot guarantee that your personal and contact information will remain private or secure.

If you reach our site using a link or coming from another web site or search engine, or go to another site from our site, information about your visit to our site may be collected by the other website or search engine, and will be subject to the privacy policy of that site.

To the extent permissible pursuant to the relevant applicable laws, and without prejudice to the limitations set out in the Terms, the liability of Blushington, in the aggregate, will not exceed the lesser of (a) the cost of any Services from Blushington for which you purchased in the last month; or (b) two hundred and fifty United States dollars (or its equivalent in local currency). In case of an overcharge or mischarge caused by Blushington, you can make a claim regarding all erroneous charges notwithstanding what is set out above.

In addition, limitation of or exemption from the aforementioned liability may not be permitted pursuant to the relevant applicable laws. In such case, Blushington shall bear the liability to the extent set forth in the relevant laws. Claims should be submitted as soon as possible after occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Claims submitted with undue delay may be considered void pursuant to applicable statute of limitations. Only bona fide claims will be considered.

14. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Blushington (and its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, employees and third-party service providers), from all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, obligations and damages including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of any term of these Terms of Use; (c) a breach of your representations and warranties set forth above regarding this Site; (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party (including, without limitation, any copyright, property or privacy right); or (e) any claim that any content you submitted caused damage to a third party. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms of Use and your misuse of the Site.

15. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

15.1 Choice of Law/Forum Selection: The Terms and the provision of our Services will be governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without reference to New York conflict of law rules. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth in this section, you and Blushington agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York County, New York.

15.2 ARBITRATION (US Customers Only): Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through binding arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. This arbitration clause will survive termination of this Section.

This provision is intended to be given the broadest interpretation and application to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your relationship with Blushington, including the use of the Site, the Services, and any other interactions with us. Blushington is committed to customer satisfaction. We will try to resolve any concerns or problems with our services that you may have. If we are unsuccessful, any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Section and your relationship with Blushington or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

Notwithstanding the above, you may opt out of this binding arbitration provision within 30 days after this Section comes into effect (the “Opt Out Deadline”). This will be the earliest of (a) the date you first used our website, (b) the date you first used our services or (c) the date you started a relationship with us. You may opt out of these arbitration procedures by sending us a written notice using any of the following methods:

• By email to optout@blushington.comwith the subject line: Terms of Use – US Opt-Out Notice.
• Using our online customer service format this link. This option is supported if you have made a purchase through Blushington and have a confirmation number.

We must receive your opt out notice no later than 3 days after the Opt Out Deadline for it to be valid. You agree that you must pursue any claim in arbitration or small claims court if we do not receive an opt-out notice from you, or if we receive an opt-out notice from you more than 3 days after the Opt Out Deadline.

For all disputes, whether pursued in arbitration or small claims court, you must first send a written description of your claim to us to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days from our receipt of your written description of your claim. You must send us written notice of the claim by email to arbitration.optout@blushington.com with the subject line: Terms of Use – Dispute Notice.

The arbitration of any dispute or claim will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Section. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. To the extent of any inconsistency, this Section will supersede and govern over the AAA Rules.

You and we agree that this Section evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and not governed by state law. Any arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award any individual relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your claim and must follow and enforce this Section as a court would.

Any arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

We agree that we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees other than the initial filing fee that you must pay to file the initial arbitration demand, and if your claim is for less than $1,000 we will reimburse you for the filing fee if you provide a written request for reimbursement. Otherwise, we will each bear the fees and expense of our respective attorneys, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.

In addition to the above, you and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action, except for actions for injunctive relief as described below. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration Section will be void as to you. If you opt out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this class action waiver provision will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out procedure set forth above. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of you, the individual party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief that is warranted by your individual claim, and not any remedy that affects other Blushington customers or users. However, if a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this Section’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief or remedy (such as declaratory or injunctive relief), then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and must be brought in the state or federal courts as set forth in Section 15.1, while the remaining claims and remedies (such as individual damages or restitution) will still be resolved through binding arbitration. 

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any determination of the extent to which your claims qualify as seeking public injunctive relief will be heard and decided by the arbitrator. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

16. WAIVER

No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Blushington’s failure to assert any right or provision under the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 

17. MISCELLANEOUS

If any part of these Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, solely that part, to the minimum extent possible, will be deemed severable, and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions. Specific services, promotions and sections of this Site may include additional terms and requirements, and those additional terms and requirements will supplement these Terms with respect to the items to which they apply. Blushington may revise or modify this Site, these Terms, products, product information or pricing without notice.
