3. How to Enter. There are two ways to enter the Sweepstakes, and eligible entries must be received during the Entry Period:
The first method of entry automatically enters you into the Sweepstakes drawing when you complete an online purchase through usa.loccitane.com during the Entry Period.
The second method of entry is by completing and submitting an online entry form ("Online Entry") via this link [https://www.loccitane.com/en-us/pages?fdid=holiday-win-your-order] as a free alternative method of entry. One Online Entry per person and/or per email address, regardless of whether one person has more than one email address or more than one person uses the same email address. In the event of a dispute regarding who submitted an Online Entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of entry. “Authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. A selected entrant may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that he or she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the selected Online Entry.
All entries must meet the eligibility requirements described in Section 1. All entries must also be submitted and received during the Entry Period regardless of entry method. Sponsor may not receive entries that fail to follow the requirements stated herein, and Sponsor is not responsible for failure to see or receive an entry. Entries will not be acknowledged. Entries generated by a script, computer programs, macro, programmed, robotic or other automated means will be disqualified. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, corrupted, false, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Proof of uploading an entry does not constitute proof of delivery or entry.
4. Prize Winner Selection. Thirty winners (each a “Winner”) will be selected and confirmed from among all eligible entries in a random drawing conducted by Sponsor or its designated representative on or about April 28, 2021. Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. One Prize per person regardless of method of entry.
5. Prize. Each Winner will receive a refund of up to $200 total toward all purchases made by the Winner during the Entry Period, including tax and shipping (if applicable). L'OCCITANE reserves the right to substitute another gift of comparable value.

We will attempt to contact the winner two times by email only. If the winner has not responded within 1 week detailing their shipping address, a new winner will be picked at random. Before being confirmed as a Prize Winner, each potential Winner may be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility ("Affidavit"), a liability and publicity release (“Release”) and complete an IRS W-9 form (collectively, “Prize Documents”). The Release shall grant Sponsor the right, at the Sponsor's discretion, to use for any advertising and promotional purposes relating to the Sweepstakes, the Potential Winner’s name, likeness, voice, signature, silhouette, approved quotes and biographical information, city and state of residence and any material based thereon or derived therefrom (collectively, “Likeness Materials”), in perpetuity, including images, videos and social media posts in any media now known or hereafter devised, without further notice, compensation, consideration, review or consent and without regard to moral rights, except where prohibited by law. Each potential Winner must sign and return the Prize Documents to Sponsor within ten (10) business days from the date of notification or the Prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner selected at random. Once a potential Winner's eligibility is verified, he/she will be confirmed as Prize Winner. Arrangements for redeeming the Prize will be sent to each Prize Winner within thirty (30) days from the date each Prize Winner is confirmed. If a Prize notification or a Prize is returned as undeliverable for any reason, the Prize may be forfeited, and the Sponsor reserves the right to select an alternate potential winner, time permitting and in Sponsor’s sole discretion, with whom the Sponsor will follow the same process. In the event that a Prize Winner is disqualified for any reason, fails to respond to the prize notification or does not timely complete and return the Prize Documents, Sponsor will award a Prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries.

By participating in this Sweepstakes, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Sponsor, including without limitation federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate. If any court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is void or unenforceable or that arbitration may proceed on a class basis, then the relevant claim will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in New York, New York, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws. The agreement to arbitrate and class action waiver also apply to any Claims you assert against the Sponsor or its present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies.
THE ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS SHALL BE IN THE ENTRANT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
