Terms and Conditions

These Terms, including the Coty Privacy Notice located at https://www.coty.com/privacy-notice, and any Additional Terms you may enter into with Coty in connection with the Coty Sites, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Coty concerning the Coty Sites.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, use of the Coty Sites, and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Coty, shall be governed by all applicable federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provision. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby expressly agree that any proceeding arising out of or relating to your use of the Coty Sites shall be instituted in a state or federal court sitting in New York.

The failure of Coty to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by you or others does not waive Coty’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. If any content on the Coty Sites, or your use of the Coty Sites, is contrary to the laws of the place where you reside when you access the Coty Sites, the Coty Sites are not intended for you, and we ask you not to use the Coty Sites. You are responsible for informing yourself of the laws of your jurisdiction and complying with them.

You may not assign these Terms (or any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder) by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Coty, which may be withheld at Coty’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment that does not comply with these Terms shall be null and void. Coty may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, to any third-party in its sole discretion.

Certain features or services offered on the Coty Sites may be subject to separate guidelines, terms and conditions which may be posted by Coty from time to time (“Additional Terms”). All Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference to these Terms.

In most cases, the Additional Terms are specific to a particular feature of a Coty Site or a service or offering provided on a Coty Site, but to the extent of any inconsistency between these Terms and any Additional Terms, these Terms will prevail.
