MY BATH & BODY WORKS LOYALTY PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS
ALL DISPUTES REGARDING THESE TERMS WILL

PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION). SEE SECTIONS 16 AND 17 FOR ADDITIONAL
DETAILS.
Welcome to the My Bath & Body Works loyalty program (“My Bath &
Body Works” or the “Program”). These Program Terms and Conditions
(“Terms”) contain important information about your rights and
obligations in the Program. My Bath & Body Works is provided by Bath
& Body Works which is solely responsible for the Terms of the
Program. Bath & Body Works may modify, add or delete any of these
Terms, benefits or Rewards, in whole or in part, at any time, even
though such changes may affect the value or amount of your Eligible
Purchase spend, Points, and Rewards (collectively, the “Loyalty
Components”) already accumulated and/or the time for redemption.
Participating in the Program means you are bound by these Terms.
-
1. General Information; Definitions; Changes
- Participation in the Program and its benefits are offered at the
sole discretion of Bath & Body Works Brand Management, Inc., Bath
& Body Works Direct, Inc., or their affiliates or assignees
(collectively referred to herein as “Bath & Body Works”). All Terms
apply to Program membership, earning Loyalty Components, Reward
redemption, and all other Program benefits. Other restrictions may
apply.
- BATH & BODY WORKS MAY, AT ANY TIME, CHANGE ANY AND ALL
ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM, SPECIAL PROMOTIONS, AND THESE TERMS, OR
OTHERWISE END THE PROGRAM. Bath & Body Works will provide

Section 18 for additional details regarding updates to the Terms.
- The Program allows you to earn Rewards (each, a “Reward”) by
accumulating Points (defined below) on the dollars you spend, as
described in Section 3 below, by: (i) presenting your Program barcode
(which can be accessed via the Bath & Body Works Mobile Application
(“App”) or via your Account on www.bathandbodyworks.com (the “Website”))
or (in some states) providing the phone number or email address
associated with your Account for in-store purchases; or (ii) signing in
to your Account for purchases made on the Website or via the App.
- In these Terms, “Participant”, “you”, and “your” mean the Account
holder. “Account” means your Program account. “We”, “our”, “ours”, and

or earn toward your next Reward, as detailed in Section 3 of the Terms.
These Terms contain the entire understanding between you and Bath &
Body Works regarding the Program.
- The Program is intended for personal use only and commercial use
is prohibited. You are limited to one Account. Your Account and
membership are personal to you. You may not transfer to others your
Account or membership in the Program, or any benefit of any kind.
Moreover, Loyalty Components are not transferable and may not be
combined or conveyed by any means to anyone, including through your
estate, and may not pass to your successors and assigns and, as such,
Loyalty Components are not transferable by you (i) upon death, (ii) as
part of domestic relations proceedings, or (iii) otherwise.
- In-store Program Participation can occur only at participating Bath & Body Works stores. Find participating stores here (“Participating Stores”).
-
2. Eligibility; Enrollment
- Membership in the Program and App usage is only open to residents of the United States residing in one of the ZIP Codes listed here (each a “Participating ZIP Code”). You must be at least eighteen (18) years old at the time of registration.
- Program registration is available through the App and the Website (https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/rewards)
without the need for a transaction. The App is available to download on
the Apple App Store and Google Play Store via iPhone and Android
smartphone devices. In some Participating Stores, registration for the
Program may also be available when making a purchase, return, or
exchange transaction at the point of sale. Inquire at Participating
Stores to see if you may register at their point of sale during a
transaction.
- To enroll in the Program, you must provide your first name,
last name, email address, phone number, ZIP code, and other information,
as indicated. You must provide a Participating ZIP Code to be eligible
to enroll in the Program.
- If you sign up for an Account at the point of sale at
Participating Stores, you will receive an email with a link to set up a
password for your Account on the Website. If you cannot find this
email, you will need to go to the App or Website (https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/rewards)
to complete the Account sign up process by entering the email address
you provided at sign up, and following the instructions to create a
password and complete the setup of your Account.
- When setting up an Account you agree that: (i) You will not
use an e-mail address that is already being used by someone else, may
impersonate another person, belongs to another person, violates the
intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or is
offensive. We may reject the use of any e-mail address or password for
any reason in our sole discretion; (ii) You will provide true, accurate,
current, and complete information about yourself in connection with the
Account registration process and, as permitted, maintain and update it
continuously and promptly to keep it accurate, current, and complete;
(iii) You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under
your Account, email address and password – whether or not you authorized
the activity; (iv) You are solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Account and password and for restricting access
to your device so that others may not access your Account or any
password protected portion of the App or Website using your email
address or password; (v) You will immediately notify us of any
unauthorized use of your Account, email address or password or any other
breach of security; and (vi) You will not sell, transfer, or assign
your Account or any rights you have under the Account. We will not be
liable for any loss or damage (of any kind and under any legal theory)
to you or any third party arising from your inability, or failure for
any reason, to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.
- While you will be able to accrue Loyalty Components prior to
completing the sign-up process by creating a password on the Website,
you may not be able to redeem Rewards or Special Offers until you have
completed the sign-up process and created a password. Additionally,
refer to Section 6 for details regarding the expiration of Loyalty
Components for Accounts that have not completed the sign-up process and
created a password.
- Membership
is nontransferable and subject to present and future Terms. Bath &
Body Works reserves the right in its sole discretion to approve, deny,
or revoke any aspect of Participation in the Program to any individual
for any reason whatsoever. This includes, without limitation, the right
to cancel your Participation or suspend accrued Loyalty Components and
the right to terminate your Account. Without limiting the foregoing,
Bath & Body Works will revoke Participation in the Program
(including all benefits) for evidence of fraud, abuse of privileges,
violation of these Terms, transfer of Program benefits or Loyalty
Components, or the holding of multiple Accounts by an individual.
“Participation” includes earning Loyalty Components and Rewards
redemptions, and any other benefits associated with the Program.
Enrollment becomes effective, and acceptance of these Terms begins when
you commence the process of enrolling in the Program via the Website or
App or at the point of sale in Participating Stores (the “Enrollment
Date”).
-
3. Earning Points and Rewards
- You will earn one (1) Point toward your next Reward for every ten
cents ($.10) of Eligible Purchase spend. “Eligible Purchases” are the
actual amount paid on any purchases of goods and/or services made by you
after any applicable discounts are applied, excluding shipping and
handling fees, applicable taxes, gift card purchases, gift wrap, and
gift-wrap fees. Points will be earned at the time of purchase for
in-store purchases, at the time of shipment for Website or App orders,
and at the time of pickup for Buy Online, Pick Up In Stores (“BOPIS”)
orders. In the event a Website or App order has multiple shipments, or
is a mix between shipped and BOPIS products, Points will be assessed
based upon the price of the products in each shipment or BOPIS order.
Eligible Purchase spend ending in five cents or more will be rounded up
to the next ten-cent increment and Eligible Purchase spend ending in
four cents or less will be rounded down to the current ten-cent
increment for the purposes of earning Points for every ten cents of
Eligible Purchase spend in the transaction. For example, if a
transaction has twelve dollars and twenty-four cents ($12.24) of
Eligible Purchase spend, the Eligible Purchase spend will be rounded
down to twelve dollars and twenty cents ($12.20) and one hundred and
twenty-two (122) Points will be earned.
- Bath & Body Works may from time to time, in its sole
discretion, provide select Participants the opportunity to, on a limited
time basis, earn Points in other ways (such as through other offers and
activities we make available) that will be independent of the ability
to earn one (1) Point for every ten cents ($.10) of Eligible Purchase
spend (each, a “Bonus Opportunity”). The terms and conditions that
apply to each Bonus Opportunity will be determined by Bath & Body
Works in its sole discretion. Bath & Body Works will make efforts to
notify eligible Participants of any Bonus Opportunity available to them
and such notification will contain the terms and conditions associated
with the Bonus Opportunity. Notification of the Bonus Opportunity may be
made through email, through notice in the App, through notice in stores
or in any other way deemed acceptable by Bath & Body Works in its
sole discretion. Please check the terms and conditions of any Bonus
Opportunity carefully, as there may be important conditions or
limitations associated with the Bonus Opportunity and/or its Points.
- Bath & Body Works may from time to time, in its sole
discretion, surprise select Participants by awarding Participants
additional Points or with other special offers (each, an “Automatic
Bonus”). The terms and conditions that apply to each Automatic Bonus
will be determined by Bath & Body Works in its sole discretion.
Participants may or may not be notified of the opportunity to receive
the Automatic Bonus prior to the Automatic Bonus being awarded to their
account. Please check any terms and conditions associated with an
Automatic Bonus carefully as there may be important conditions or
limitations associated with the Automatic Bonus and/or its Points.
- Purchases made within seven (7) days prior to the Enrollment
Date and after the Enrollment Date are eligible to qualify as Eligible
Purchase spend toward the earning of Points. Points are not earned on
purchases made more than seven (7) days prior to the Enrollment Date,
international purchases, purchases made from or through third parties
(including, but not limited to, Instacart), unauthorized or fraudulent
purchases, or purchases made by or for a business or for a business
purpose.
- Unless otherwise disclosed to you in the advertising or
promotion of an offer, you will need to accrue seven hundred and fifty
(750) Points to earn one (1) Reward.
- You must identify yourself as a Participant at the time of
transaction for the transaction to be eligible to count as an Eligible
Purchase that earns Points toward a Reward. On the Website or App, you
must be signed into your Account. In Participating Stores, you must
display your Program barcode (which can be accessed via the App or via
your Account on the Website). Additionally, in Participating Stores, the
redemption of a Reward associated with your Account in connection with a
transaction will associate your Account with that transaction for the
purpose of earning Points, if applicable. In some Participating Stores,
you may also be able to provide the phone number or email address
associated with your Account to earn Points in connection with a
purchase.
- The Points earned toward your next Reward will be reflected
in your Account balance within seventy-two (72) hours of your store
purchase, your picking up a BOPIS purchase or your Website or App
purchase having shipped.
- Returns will be deducted from Points accrued towards earning
a Reward. Points that contributed toward the earning of a Reward that
were earned in connection with purchases that are later returned or
refunded or otherwise adjusted will result in a deduction of those
Points accordingly. Such deductions may result in a negative Points
balance, in which case, any subsequent Points you earn will be applied
to reduce that negative Points balance. With a receipt, an item acquired
through Reward redemption may be exchanged for another item meeting the
eligibility criteria for Reward redemption. All other returns and
exchanges (including items acquired through Reward redemption) will be
governed in accordance with the Bath & Body Works Return Policy.
- We reserve the right to verify and adjust Loyalty Components at any time prior to or following posting or redemption.
- Loyalty Components are the property of Bath & Body
Works. Loyalty Components are a revocable licensed right and you have
no monetary interest in the Loyalty Components.
-
4. Redeeming Rewards
- Each Reward may be redeemed for only one (1) item and will be applied to the most expensive eligible product in the transaction.
- Products eligible for Reward redemption must each have a
regular retail unit ticket price equal to or under sixteen dollars and
fifty cents ($16.50). This means that products that have a regular
retail unit ticket price that is above sixteen dollars and fifty cents
($16.50) are not eligible for Reward redemption.
- You must identify yourself as a Participant at the time of
transaction to redeem the Reward. On the Website or App, you must be
signed into your Account and apply your Rewards code in the Rewards Code
box at checkout. In Participating Stores, you must open your App or
your Account on the Website and display your redemption code.
- Rewards are valid for ninety (90) days from date issued. Expired Rewards will not be replaced.
- Rewards are single use only whether redeemed in Participating Stores or on the Website or App.
- Rewards may be combined with other available promotional
offers, codes, or coupons to the extent permitted by the terms of those
offers, codes or coupons. However, the value of the product received
when redeeming a Reward will not count toward any qualifying purchase
requirements for other offers, codes or coupons.
- Up to eight (8) Rewards may be redeemed (each for one (1) item) per transaction.
- Shipping and handling fees apply to free items redeemed with Rewards on the Website or App.
- Reward details are subject to change without notice.
- Rewards will not be re-issued after use.
- Rewards have no cash value and you will not receive cash or
credit for the difference between the regular retail unit ticket price
of the free item redeemed with a Reward and sixteen dollars and fifty
cents ($16.50).
- Rewards may not be redeemed on products purchased through
“auto-refresh” or “auto-ship” functionality or on purchases made from or
through third parties (including, but not limited to, Instacart).
- You may be notified of additional eligible and ineligible products at the time of Rewards redemption.
-
5. Special Offers
- Special offers may be available to you from time to time at Bath
& Body Works' discretion. Terms and conditions of those special
offers are outlined in the offer details. Please check those terms and
conditions carefully, as there may be important conditions or
limitations (such as blackout periods or exclusions).
- Offers are single-use only, unless otherwise stated, and are subject to change without notice.
-
6. Expiration of Loyalty Components
- As used in this section, “transaction activity” means purchases,
returns, exchanges or adjustment to the Account point balance by
Customer Care.
- Loyalty Components will expire if there has been no
transaction activity associated with your Account for three hundred and
sixty-five (365) days.
- If you sign up for an Account at the point of sale at
Participating Stores and fail to complete the sign-up process (described
in Section 2) by creating a password for your Account, Loyalty
Components will expire if there has been no transaction activity
associated with your Account for ninety (90) days. Once the sign-up
process (described in Section 2) has been completed by creating a
password for your Account, thereafter Loyalty Components will expire if
there has been no transaction activity associated with your Account for
three hundred and sixty-five (365) days.
- Once Loyalty Components expire, they may not be resurrected.
-
7. Cancellation and Reactivation of Account
- If you wish to cancel your Account you may do so by calling
Customer Care at 1-800-869-0158. Immediately after cancelling your
Account, all earned Loyalty Components will be forfeited. However,
within seventy-two (72) hours after calling to cancel your Account, your
Account can be reactivated, and all earned Loyalty Components
(including Loyalty Components earned as of the time of cancellation and
Loyalty Components earned since cancellation) may be restored, provided
that such Loyalty Components did not expire in the time period between
Account cancellation and reactivation.
- You can reactivate your Account by (within seventy-two (72)
hours after calling to cancel your Account) (i) clicking the
reactivation link in the email you receive confirming your Account
cancellation, or (ii) by calling Customer Care and requesting that your
Account be reactivated. In the event that your Account is reactivated
within the seventy-two (72) hour timeframe after you cancelled your
Account, you understand that restoration of the Account constitutes your
re-enrollment in the Program and, by virtue of requesting that your
Account be restored, you are again accepting and agreeing to these Terms
(as may be amended at any time).
-
8. Communications
- We may email you regarding any matter related to the Program or
send you marketing emails regarding Bath & Body Works offers and the
latest new arrivals. You may opt out of marketing email materials by
simply following the unsubscribe link provided in each marketing email.
However, if your Account remains active, you will continue to receive
relationship/operational emails primarily related to the Program unless
your Account is cancelled or otherwise terminated.
- In the event you cancel your Account pursuant to Section 7
of these Terms (and do not restore your Account within seventy-two (72)
hours after such cancellation), within ten (10) days of Account
cancellation, you will be opted-out of receiving marketing emails
related to the Program, but you will continue to receive marketing
emails regarding Bath & Body Works offers and the latest new
arrivals.
- E-receipts are neither marketing nor emails related to the Program, but merely confirmations of purchases.
- In addition, depending on your preferences, we may send push
notifications or alerts to your mobile device. You can deactivate these
messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your
mobile device.
- Bath & Body Works is not responsible for any lost,
stolen, expired, damaged, or otherwise misdirected communications or
Loyalty Components due to change of address, email address or for any
other reason. Loyalty Components will not be reissued. You are solely
responsible for updating any changes to your contact and Account
information.
- We are not responsible for technical, hardware, network
connections or incomplete or delayed computer transmissions, regardless
of cause.
-
9. Program Activity; Customer Service
- You can view your Points balance through the App or in your
Account on the Website. For any questions regarding the Program, visit
our help & FAQs.
- In the event you believe that a purchase should have
resulted in the addition of Points to your balance, and those Points are
not reflected in your balance within seventy-two (72) hours of your
store purchase, your picking up a BOPIS purchase or your Website or App
purchase having shipped, please contact Customer Care at 1-800-869-0158.
- We reserve the right to make the final decision on whether any purchase qualifies for Points and the amount of Points earned.
-
10. Waivers
We can delay enforcing our rights under these Terms without losing
them. In addition, our failure to exercise our rights on any one
occasion, or even on more than one occasion, does not constitute a
waiver of our rights for any future occasion. All waivers must be in
writing.
-
11. Privacy; Terms of Use
All information provided by you will be handled in accordance with the Bath & Body Works privacy policy found here.
By Participating in the Program through the App or Website you are also agreeing to the Terms of Use
which govern your use of the Website and App. In the event that the
Privacy Policy or Terms of Use conflict with these Terms, these Terms
will control.
-
12. Intellectual Property
All title and intellectual property rights in and to any content
that is accessed, viewed, streamed, or downloaded from the App or our
Website remains the sole and exclusive property of Bath & Body Works
or its licensor, and use of such content is subject to the restrictions
imposed by these Terms as well as applicable copyright and other
intellectual property laws and treaties. Content may not be used in a
manner that exceeds the specific rights granted and individuals are
strictly prohibited from copying, modifying, selling, re-licensing or
distributing content. You agree that you will not circumvent, or attempt
to circumvent, any technology or methods used by Bath & Body Works
or its licensors to prevent the unauthorized reproduction or
distribution of content accessible via the Program.
-
13. Taxes
You are solely liable for any applicable federal, state or local
income, sales, use, or other taxes arising out of the accrual or use of
Loyalty Components. Consult your tax advisor concerning any tax
consequences that may arise from your Participation in the Program.
-
14. Severability
If a court of competent jurisdiction or any government agency
determines that any provision of these Terms is void or unenforceable,
that provision will continue to be enforceable to the extent permitted
by that court or agency, and the remainder of that provision will no
longer be considered as part of these Terms. However, all other
provisions will remain in full force and effect.
-
15. Limited Time to File Claims
If you want to assert a dispute against Bath & Body Works, then
you must commence it within two (2) years from the date of the activity
that first gave rise to the dispute, or it will be forever barred.
“Commencing” means filing for arbitration with the AAA as set forth in
the “Binding Arbitration” section of these Terms.
-
16. Binding Arbitration
ANY DISPUTE THAT CANNOT FIRST BE RESOLVED THROUGH INFORMAL METHODS
WILL BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE COMMERCIAL
ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") then
in effect (the "Rules"), except as modified herein. The arbitration will
be administered by the AAA. Claims or disputes that fall within the
scope of the small claims court's limited jurisdiction may, however, be
submitted to such court. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING
UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR
JURY. IF AN IN-PERSON ARBITRATION HEARING IS REQUIRED, THEN IT WILL BE
CONDUCTED IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, UNITED STATES. You and Bath & Body
Works will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs
in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if the
applicable arbitration rules or laws require Bath & Body Works to
pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this
arbitration provision to be enforceable, then Bath & Body Works will
have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to
arbitration. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by these Terms, and
will determine any dispute according to applicable law and facts based
upon the record and no other basis. After the hearing, the arbitrator(s)
will decide the dispute and render a written decision setting forth the
issues adjudicated, the resolution thereof and the reasons for the
award. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be
final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in
the federal or state courts located in Columbus, Ohio, United States.
The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) will apply to the dispute and will
govern whether the dispute is subject to arbitration, including the No
Class Action Matters section below. You can obtain AAA procedures, rules
and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879, http://www.ADR.org.
This section survives the termination of the Program.
-
17. No Class Action Matters
Disputes hereunder will be arbitrated only on an individual basis
and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitration or
other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other
party. THIS MEANS YOU AND BATH & BODY WORKS AGREE THAT EACH MAY
BRING CLAIMS REGARDING SUCH DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY
PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. There
will be no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a
class action basis or on any basis involving disputes brought in a
purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or
other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason,
any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction
regarding arbitration on a class action basis is unconscionable or
unenforceable, then the dispute must be brought exclusively in a State
or Federal court located in Columbus, Ohio as set forth above.
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, any and all issues
relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class
action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this "No Class
Action Matters" section), are to be decided only by a federal or state
court located in Columbus, Ohio, and not by the arbitrator. The
arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver
provisions. This section survives the termination of the Program.
-
18. MISCELLANEOUS
- Governing Law. These Terms will be governed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without reference to its
conflicts of laws principles.
- Fraud. Fraud or abuse relating to the Account
registration process, providing of personal information, or earning or
redemption of Loyalty Components is a violation of these Terms. You are
solely responsible for any fraudulent use that may occur due to the
theft of or sharing of your Account password or your device. You agree
to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your Account or any
other breach of security known to you. The Program is a service
provided to an individual Participant, not a company or other entity,
and a company or other entity may not direct, encourage or allow
individuals to participate in the Program for anything other than
individual use. Bath & Body Works reserves the right to take any of
the actions set forth in Section 2 if you engage in fraudulent activity
or otherwise use this Program other than in accordance with these Terms
and applicable law. ANY ATTEMPT BY YOU OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR
ENTITY TO DAMAGE ANY WEB SITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF
THE PROGRAM IS A VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS. BATH & BODY WORKS
RESERVES THE RIGHT TO INVESTIGATE ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AND TO SEEK
DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
- Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief.
IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN
CONNECTION WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, THEN THE LOSSES,
DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE
YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS
MEANS THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT
SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER
ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR
EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITES, APPLICATION, CONTENT, THE PROGRAM, USER
CONTENT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED,
USED OR CONTROLLED BY US.
- Indemnity. In exchange for the right to
participate in the Program, you agree to indemnify, defend (at our
option) and hold us harmless from and against any and all damages,
losses, liabilities, claims, costs, investigations, judgments, fines,
penalties, settlements, interest, expenses or demands, including, but
not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of
property, that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to: (i)
your use of the Program and your activities in connection with the
Program; (ii) your breach or anticipatory breach of these Terms (as
updated from time to time); (iii) your violation or anticipatory
violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances,
or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities in
connection with your use of the Program or your activities in connection
with the Website, the App and/or the Program; (iv) any
misrepresentation made by you; and (v) our use of the information that
you submit to us (all of the foregoing, “Claims and Losses”). You will
cooperate as fully required by us in the defense of any Claim and
Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we retain the exclusive right to
settle, compromise, and pay any and all Claims and Losses. We reserve
the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims and
Losses. You will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each
instance, the prior written consent of an officer of Bath & Body
Works.
- Updates to Terms. These Terms, in the form posted
at the time of your use of the Program, shall govern such use
(including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR PROGRAM
EVOLVES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE PROGRAM MAY
BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE PROGRAM UNDER THE TERMS FOR
WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN
TO YOUR ACCOUNT OR OTHERWISE USE THE PROGRAM YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW
AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE
MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE APP OR WEBSITE (OR
IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, VIA EMAIL), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM AFTER SUCH
NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE REVISED TERMS.
Therefore, you should review the posted Terms each time you use the
Program. The revised Terms will be effective as of the time that we
post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other
notice to you. However, the Terms that applied when you previously used
the Program will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and
additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the event
any notice to you of new, revised or additional Terms is determined by a
tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until
sufficient notice to establish a new agreement to Terms occurs. You
should frequently check the App and Website and the e-mail you
associated with your Account for notices, all of which you agree are
reasonable manners of providing you notice. You can reject any new or
revised Terms by discontinuing use of the Program.
- Disclaimers. YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE
PROGRAM IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”,
“AS AVAILABLE”, AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. Therefore, to the fullest
extent permissible by law, Bath & Body Works and our parent

MY BATH & BODY WORKS LOYALTY PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS
IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION: PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT
CAREFULLY. IT SETS FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE MY BATH & BODY WORKS LOYALTY PROGRAM.
THESE TERMS REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTES YOU HAVE WITH
US AND YOU WAIVE THE ABILITY TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US IN COURT, TO
HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY, OR TO BRING ANY CLAIMS
AGAINST US IN A CLASS ACTION FORMAT.
Welcome to the My Bath & Body Works loyalty program (“My Bath &
Body Works” or the “Program”). These Program Terms and Conditions
(“Terms”) contain important information about your rights and
obligations in the Program. My Bath & Body Works is provided by Bath
& Body Works which is solely responsible for the Terms of the
Program. Bath & Body Works may modify, add or delete any of these
Terms, benefits or Rewards, in whole or in part, at any time, even
though such changes may affect the value or amount of your Eligible
Purchase spend, Points, and Rewards (collectively, the “Loyalty
Components”) already accumulated and/or the time for redemption.
Participating in the Program means you are bound by these Terms.
-
1. General Information; Definitions; Changes
- Participation in the Program and its benefits are offered at the
sole discretion of Bath & Body Works. As used herein, “Bath &
Body Works” means Bath & Body Works Brand Management, Inc., Bath
& Body Works Direct, Inc., Bath & Body Works, LLC, Bath &
Body Works, Inc., and all affiliates or assignees. These Terms apply to
all aspects of your use of the Program, including, but not limited to,
Program membership, earning Loyalty Components, Reward redemption, all
other Program benefits and any purchase made using your Program account,
and all disputes between you and Bath & Body Works. Other
restrictions may apply.
- BATH & BODY WORKS MAY, AT ANY TIME, CHANGE ANY AND ALL
ASPECTS OF THE PROGRAM, SPECIAL PROMOTIONS, AND THESE TERMS, OR
OTHERWISE END THE PROGRAM. Bath & Body Works will provide
thirty (30) days’ notice prior to termination of the Program. See
Section 18 for additional details regarding updates to the Terms.
- The Program allows you to earn Rewards (each, a “Reward”) by
accumulating Points (defined below) on the dollars you spend, as
described in Section 3 below, by: (i) presenting your Program barcode
(which can be accessed via the Bath & Body Works Mobile Application
(“App”) or via your Account on www.bathandbodyworks.com (the “Website”))
or (in some states) providing the phone number or email address
associated with your Account for in-store purchases; or (ii) signing in
to your Account for purchases made on the Website or via the App.
- In these Terms, “Participant”, “you”, and “your” mean the Account
holder. “Account” means your Program account. “We”, “our”, “ours”, and
“us” mean Bath & Body Works. “Point(s)” means the credit you accrue
or earn toward your next Reward, as detailed in Section 3 of the Terms.
These Terms contain the entire understanding between you and Bath &
Body Works regarding the Program.
- The Program is intended for personal use only and commercial use
is prohibited. You are limited to one Account. Your Account and
membership are personal to you. You may not transfer to others your
Account or membership in the Program, or any benefit of any kind.
Moreover, Loyalty Components are not transferable and may not be
combined or conveyed by any means to anyone, including through your
estate, and may not pass to your successors and assigns and, as such,
Loyalty Components are not transferable by you (i) upon death, (ii) as
part of domestic relations proceedings, or (iii) otherwise.
- In-store Program Participation can occur only at participating Bath & Body Works stores. Find participating stores here (“Participating Stores”).
-
2. Eligibility; Enrollment
- Membership in the Program and App usage is only open to residents of the United States residing in one of the ZIP Codes listed here (each a “Participating ZIP Code”). You must be at least eighteen (18) years old at the time of registration.
- Program registration is available through the App and the Website (https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/rewards)
without the need for a transaction. The App is available to download on
the Apple App Store and Google Play Store via iPhone and Android
smartphone devices. In some Participating Stores, registration for the
Program may also be available when making a purchase, return, or
exchange transaction at the point of sale. Inquire at Participating
Stores to see if you may register at their point of sale during a
transaction.
- To enroll in the Program, you must provide your first name,
last name, email address, phone number, ZIP code, and other information,
as indicated. You must provide a Participating ZIP Code to be eligible
to enroll in the Program.
- If you sign up for an Account at the point of sale at
Participating Stores, you will receive an email with a link to set up a
password for your Account on the Website. If you cannot find this email,
you will need to go to the App or Website (https://www.bathandbodyworks.com/rewards)
to complete the Account sign up process by entering the email address
you provided at sign up, and following the instructions to create a
password and complete the setup of your Account.
- When setting up an Account you agree that: (i) You will not
use an e-mail address that is already being used by someone else, may
impersonate another person, belongs to another person, violates the
intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or is
offensive. We may reject the use of any e-mail address or password for
any reason in our sole discretion; (ii) You will provide true, accurate,
current, and complete information about yourself in connection with the
Account registration process and, as permitted, maintain and update it
continuously and promptly to keep it accurate, current, and complete;
(iii) You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under
your Account, email address and password – whether or not you authorized
the activity; (iv) You are solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Account and password and for restricting access
to your device so that others may not access your Account or any
password protected portion of the App or Website using your email
address or password; (v) You will immediately notify us of any
unauthorized use of your Account, email address or password or any other
breach of security; and (vi) You will not sell, transfer, or assign
your Account or any rights you have under the Account. We will not be
liable for any loss or damage (of any kind and under any legal theory)
to you or any third party arising from your inability, or failure for
any reason, to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.
- While you will be able to accrue Loyalty Components prior to
completing the sign-up process by creating a password on the Website,
you may not be able to redeem Rewards or Special Offers until you have
completed the sign-up process and created a password. Additionally,
refer to Section 6 for details regarding the expiration of Loyalty
Components for Accounts that have not completed the sign-up process and
created a password.
- Membership
is nontransferable and subject to present and future Terms. Bath &
Body Works reserves the right in its sole discretion to approve, deny,
or revoke any aspect of Participation in the Program to any individual
for any reason whatsoever. This includes, without limitation, the right
to cancel your Participation or suspend accrued Loyalty Components and
the right to terminate your Account. Without limiting the foregoing,
Bath & Body Works will revoke Participation in the Program
(including all benefits) for evidence of fraud, abuse of privileges,
violation of these Terms, transfer of Program benefits or Loyalty
Components, or the holding of multiple Accounts by an individual.
“Participation” includes earning Loyalty Components and Rewards
redemptions, and any other benefits associated with the Program.
Enrollment becomes effective, and acceptance of these Terms begins when
you commence the process of enrolling in the Program via the Website or
App or at the point of sale in Participating Stores (the “Enrollment
Date”).
-
3. Earning Points and Rewards
- You will earn one (1) Point toward your next Reward for every ten
cents ($.10) of Eligible Purchase spend. “Eligible Purchases” are the
actual amount paid on any purchases of goods and/or services made by you
after any applicable discounts are applied, excluding shipping and
handling fees, applicable taxes, gift card purchases, gift wrap, and
gift-wrap fees. Points will be earned at the time of purchase for
in-store purchases, at the time of shipment for Website or App orders,
and at the time of pickup for Buy Online, Pick Up In Stores (“BOPIS”)
orders. In the event a Website or App order has multiple shipments, or
is a mix between shipped and BOPIS products, Points will be assessed
based upon the price of the products in each shipment or BOPIS order.
Eligible Purchase spend ending in five cents or more will be rounded up
to the next ten-cent increment and Eligible Purchase spend ending in
four cents or less will be rounded down to the current ten-cent
increment for the purposes of earning Points for every ten cents of
Eligible Purchase spend in the transaction. For example, if a
transaction has twelve dollars and twenty-four cents ($12.24) of
Eligible Purchase spend, the Eligible Purchase spend will be rounded
down to twelve dollars and twenty cents ($12.20) and one hundred and
twenty-two (122) Points will be earned.
- Bath & Body Works may from time to time, in its sole
discretion, provide select Participants the opportunity to, on a limited
time basis, earn Points in other ways (such as through other offers and
activities we make available) that will be independent of the ability
to earn one (1) Point for every ten cents ($.10) of Eligible Purchase
spend (each, a “Bonus Opportunity”). The terms and conditions that apply
to each Bonus Opportunity will be determined by Bath & Body Works
in its sole discretion. Bath & Body Works will make efforts to
notify eligible Participants of any Bonus Opportunity available to them
and such notification will contain the terms and conditions associated
with the Bonus Opportunity. Notification of the Bonus Opportunity may be
made through email, through notice in the App, through notice in stores
or in any other way deemed acceptable by Bath & Body Works in its
sole discretion. Please check the terms and conditions of any Bonus
Opportunity carefully, as there may be important conditions or
limitations associated with the Bonus Opportunity and/or its Points.
- Bath & Body Works may from time to time, in its sole
discretion, surprise select Participants by awarding Participants
additional Points or with other special offers (each, an “Automatic
Bonus”). The terms and conditions that apply to each Automatic Bonus
will be determined by Bath & Body Works in its sole discretion.
Participants may or may not be notified of the opportunity to receive
the Automatic Bonus prior to the Automatic Bonus being awarded to their
account. Please check any terms and conditions associated with an
Automatic Bonus carefully as there may be important conditions or
limitations associated with the Automatic Bonus and/or its Points.
- Purchases made within seven (7) days prior to the Enrollment
Date and after the Enrollment Date are eligible to qualify as Eligible
Purchase spend toward the earning of Points. Points are not earned on
purchases made more than seven (7) days prior to the Enrollment Date,
international purchases, purchases made from or through third parties
(including, but not limited to, Instacart), unauthorized or fraudulent
purchases, or purchases made by or for a business or for a business
purpose.
- Unless otherwise disclosed to you in the advertising or
promotion of an offer, you will need to accrue one thousand (1,000)
Points to earn one (1) Reward.
- You must identify yourself as a Participant at the time of
transaction for the transaction to be eligible to count as an Eligible
Purchase that earns Points toward a Reward. On the Website or App, you
must be signed into your Account. In Participating Stores, you must
display your Program barcode (which can be accessed via the App or via
your Account on the Website). Additionally, in Participating Stores, the
redemption of a Reward associated with your Account in connection with a
transaction will associate your Account with that transaction for the
purpose of earning Points, if applicable. In some Participating Stores,
you may also be able to provide the phone number or email address
associated with your Account to earn Points in connection with a
purchase.
- The Points earned toward your next Reward will be reflected
in your Account balance within seventy-two (72) hours of your store
purchase, your picking up a BOPIS purchase or your Website or App
purchase having shipped.
- Returns will be deducted from Points accrued towards earning
a Reward. Points that contributed toward the earning of a Reward that
were earned in connection with purchases that are later returned or
refunded or otherwise adjusted will result in a deduction of those
Points accordingly. Such deductions may result in a negative Points
balance, in which case, any subsequent Points you earn will be applied
to reduce that negative Points balance. With a receipt, an item acquired
through Reward redemption may be exchanged for another item meeting the
eligibility criteria for Reward redemption. All other returns and
exchanges (including items acquired through Reward redemption) will be
governed in accordance with the Bath & Body Works Return Policy.
- We reserve the right to verify and adjust Loyalty Components at any time prior to or following posting or redemption.
- Loyalty Components are the property of Bath & Body
Works. Loyalty Components are a revocable licensed right and you have no
monetary interest in the Loyalty Components.
-
4. Redeeming Rewards
- Each Reward may be redeemed for only one (1) item and will be applied to the most expensive eligible product in the transaction.
- Products eligible for Reward redemption must each have a
regular retail unit ticket price equal to or under sixteen dollars and
fifty cents ($16.50). This means that products that have a regular
retail unit ticket price that is above sixteen dollars and fifty cents
($16.50) are not eligible for Reward redemption.
- You must identify yourself as a Participant at the time of
transaction to redeem the Reward. On the Website or App, you must be
signed into your Account and apply your Rewards code in the Rewards Code
box at checkout. In Participating Stores, you must open your App or
your Account on the Website and display your redemption code.
- Rewards are valid for ninety (90) days from date issued. Expired Rewards will not be replaced.
- Rewards are single use only whether redeemed in Participating Stores or on the Website or App.
- Rewards may be combined with other available promotional
offers, codes, or coupons to the extent permitted by the terms of those
offers, codes or coupons. However, the value of the product received
when redeeming a Reward will not count toward any qualifying purchase
requirements for other offers, codes or coupons.
- Up to eight (8) Rewards may be redeemed (each for one (1) item) per transaction.
- Shipping and handling fees apply to free items redeemed with Rewards on the Website or App.
- Reward details are subject to change without notice.
- Rewards will not be re-issued after use.
- Rewards have no cash value and you will not receive cash or
credit for the difference between the regular retail unit ticket price
of the free item redeemed with a Reward and sixteen dollars and fifty
cents ($16.50).
- Rewards may not be redeemed on products purchased through
“auto-refresh” or “auto-ship” functionality or on purchases made from or
through third parties (including, but not limited to, Instacart).
- You may be notified of additional eligible and ineligible products at the time of Rewards redemption.
-
5. Special Offers
- Special offers may be available to you from time to time at Bath
& Body Works' discretion. Terms and conditions of those special
offers are outlined in the offer details. Please check those terms and
conditions carefully, as there may be important conditions or
limitations (such as blackout periods or exclusions).
- Offers are single-use only, unless otherwise stated, and are subject to change without notice.
-
6. Expiration of Loyalty Components
- As used in this section, “transaction activity” means purchases,
returns, exchanges or adjustment to the Account point balance by
Customer Care.
- Loyalty Components will expire if there has been no
transaction activity associated with your Account for three hundred and
sixty-five (365) days.
- If you sign up for an Account at the point of sale at
Participating Stores and fail to complete the sign-up process (described
in Section 2) by creating a password for your Account, Loyalty
Components will expire if there has been no transaction activity
associated with your Account for ninety (90) days. Once the sign-up
process (described in Section 2) has been completed by creating a
password for your Account, thereafter Loyalty Components will expire if
there has been no transaction activity associated with your Account for
three hundred and sixty-five (365) days.
- Once Loyalty Components expire, they may not be resurrected.
-
7. Cancellation and Reactivation of Account
- If you wish to cancel your Account you may do so by calling
Customer Care at 1-800-869-0158. Immediately after cancelling your
Account, all earned Loyalty Components will be forfeited. However,
within seventy-two (72) hours after calling to cancel your Account, your
Account can be reactivated, and all earned Loyalty Components
(including Loyalty Components earned as of the time of cancellation and
Loyalty Components earned since cancellation) may be restored, provided
that such Loyalty Components did not expire in the time period between
Account cancellation and reactivation.
- You can reactivate your Account by (within seventy-two (72)
hours after calling to cancel your Account) (i) clicking the
reactivation link in the email you receive confirming your Account
cancellation, or (ii) by calling Customer Care and requesting that your
Account be reactivated. In the event that your Account is reactivated
within the seventy-two (72) hour timeframe after you cancelled your
Account, you understand that restoration of the Account constitutes your
re-enrollment in the Program and, by virtue of requesting that your
Account be restored, you are again accepting and agreeing to these Terms
(as may be amended at any time).
-
8. Communications
- We may email you regarding any matter related to the Program or
send you marketing emails regarding Bath & Body Works offers and the
latest new arrivals. You may opt out of marketing email materials by
simply following the unsubscribe link provided in each marketing email.
However,
if your Account remains active, you will continue to receive
relationship/operational emails primarily related to the Program unless
your Account is cancelled or otherwise terminated. - In the event you cancel your Account pursuant to Section 7
of these Terms (and do not restore your Account within seventy-two (72)
hours after such cancellation), within ten (10) days of Account
cancellation, you will be opted-out of receiving marketing emails
related to the Program, but you will continue to receive marketing
emails regarding Bath & Body Works offers and the latest new
arrivals.
- E-receipts are neither marketing nor emails related to the Program, but merely confirmations of purchases.
- In addition, depending on your preferences, we may send push
notifications or alerts to your mobile device. You can deactivate these
messages at any time by changing the notification settings on your
mobile device.
- Bath & Body Works is not responsible for any lost,
stolen, expired, damaged, or otherwise misdirected communications or
Loyalty Components due to change of address, email address or for any
other reason. Loyalty Components will not be reissued. You are solely
responsible for updating any changes to your contact and Account
information.
- We are not responsible for technical, hardware, network
connections or incomplete or delayed computer transmissions, regardless
of cause.
-
9. Program Activity; Customer Service
- You can view your Points balance through the App or in your
Account on the Website. For any questions regarding the Program, visit
our help & FAQs.
- In the event you believe that a purchase should have
resulted in the addition of Points to your balance, and those Points are
not reflected in your balance within seventy-two (72) hours of your
store purchase, your picking up a BOPIS purchase or your Website or App
purchase having shipped, please contact Customer Care at 1-800-869-0158.
- We reserve the right to make the final decision on whether any purchase qualifies for Points and the amount of Points earned.
-
10. Waivers
We can delay enforcing our rights under these Terms without losing
them. In addition, our failure to exercise our rights on any one
occasion, or even on more than one occasion, does not constitute a
waiver of our rights for any future occasion. All waivers must be in
writing.
-
11. Privacy; Terms of Use
All information provided by you will be handled in accordance with the Bath & Body Works privacy policy found here.
By Participating in the Program through the App or Website you are also agreeing to the Terms of Use
which govern your use of the Website and App. In the event that the
Privacy Policy or Terms of Use conflict with these Terms, these Terms
will control.
-
12. Intellectual Property
All title and intellectual property rights in and to any content
that is accessed, viewed, streamed, or downloaded from the App or our
Website remains the sole and exclusive property of Bath & Body Works
or its licensor, and use of such content is subject to the restrictions
imposed by these Terms as well as applicable copyright and other
intellectual property laws and treaties. Content may not be used in a
manner that exceeds the specific rights granted and individuals are
strictly prohibited from copying, modifying, selling, re-licensing or
distributing content. You agree that you will not circumvent, or attempt
to circumvent, any technology or methods used by Bath & Body Works
or its licensors to prevent the unauthorized reproduction or
distribution of content accessible via the Program.
-
13. Taxes
You are solely liable for any applicable federal, state or local
income, sales, use, or other taxes arising out of the accrual or use of
Loyalty Components. Consult your tax advisor concerning any tax
consequences that may arise from your Participation in the Program.
-
14. Severability
If a court of competent jurisdiction or any government agency
determines that any provision of these Terms is void or unenforceable,
that provision will continue to be enforceable to the extent permitted
by that court or agency, and the remainder of that provision will no
longer be considered as part of these Terms. However, all other
provisions will remain in full force and effect. An exception to this
general provision is provided in Section 18.
-
15. Limited Time to File Claims
If you want to assert a dispute against Bath & Body Works, then
you must commence it within two (2) years from the date of the activity
that first gave rise to the dispute, or it will be forever barred.
“Commencing” means filing for arbitration with the AAA as set forth in
the “Binding Arbitration” section of these Terms.
-
16. Informal Resolution of Disputes
If any controversy, allegation, dispute or claim arises out of or
relates to the Program, including, without limitation, any advertising
or marketing communications regarding Bath & Body Works or the
Program, any purchases you make using your Program account, Program
benefits or restrictions, or any other controversy, allegation, dispute
or claim against Bath & Body Works regarding any interaction or
transaction between you and Bath & Body Works, whether heretofore or
hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of Bath &
Body Works’ actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded
Dispute”, which includes those actions set forth in Section 21), then
you and we agree to engage in good-faith informal efforts to resolve the
Dispute by sending a written notice to the other providing a reasonable
description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed
resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the
most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such
information exists or if such information is not current, then we have
no obligation under this Section 16. Your notice to us must be sent via
email to: chieflegalofficer@bbw.com.
The written description included in your notice must be on an
individual basis and provide at least the following information: your
name; the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; the date of any
purchase or transaction at issue (if any and if available), and the
relief sought.
For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from
the other party, Bath & Body Works and you agree to negotiate in
good faith about the dispute through an informal telephonic dispute
resolution conference between you and Bath & Body Works in order to
attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will
require either you or Bath & Body Works to resolve the Dispute or
Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Bath & Body
Works, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable. The informal
telephonic dispute resolution conferences shall be individualized such
that a separate conference must be held each time either party intends
to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating
claims cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute
resolution conference. If either party is represented by counsel, that
party’s counsel may participate in the informal telephonic dispute
resolution conference, but the party also must appear at and participate
in the conference. This informal dispute resolution process is a
prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute
resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any relevant limitations
period and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled while the
parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.
-
17. All Disputes are Subject to Binding Arbitration
ANY DISPUTE THAT CANNOT FIRST BE RESOLVED THROUGH THE INFORMAL
METHODS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 16 MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING
ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. This includes all Disputes as
defined in Section 16, whether based in contract, statute, regulation,
ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, any other
intentional tort or negligence), common law, constitutional provision,
respondeat superior, agency or any other legal or equitable theory,
whether arising before or after the effective date of these Terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disputes that fall within the scope of
the small claims court's limited jurisdiction may be submitted to such
court. An Excluded Dispute will only be subject to binding arbitration
pursuant to this Section 17 if the parties mutually agree.
Following the sixty-day (60) period described in Section 16, a party
who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a
written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the applicable
arbitration rules. Arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the
then-current: (i) Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) then in effect since the matter involves a
“consumer” agreement as defined by Consumer Arbitration Rule R-1; and if
such Consumer Arbitration Rules do not apply then: (ii) the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as modified herein. The
arbitration will be administered by the AAA.
If a party properly submits a Dispute to the AAA for formal
arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing, then either party
can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial
Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined
Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration
administration service that you and an officer or legal representative
of Bath & Body Works consent to in writing. The AAA provides
applicable forms for Demands for Arbitration available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Demand_for_Arbitration_0.pdf (Commercial Arbitration Rules) and https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_1.pdf (Consumer Arbitration Rules), and a separate affidavit for waiver of fees for California residents only is available at https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Waiver_of_Fees_CA_Only.pdf.
The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed
to practice law in the state or county in which you reside. The parties
will first attempt to agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable
to agree upon an arbitrator within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the
AAA’s list of eligible neutrals, then the AAA will appoint the
arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration may be
conducted by telephone or based on written submissions, and if an
in-person hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the county
where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. You and we
will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs (and
please note that you will be responsible for a portion or percentage of
such fees) in accordance with the requirements of the AAA Rules; but if
the AAA Rules (or other applicable arbitration rules or laws) require
Bath & Body Works to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and
costs in order for Section 16-19 of this Agreement to be enforceable,
then Bath & Body Works shall have the right to elect to pay the fees
and costs and proceed to arbitration. Except as set forth in Section
19, the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will
apply and be bound by these Terms, and will determine any Dispute
according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other
basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual
party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted
by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator will render an award
within the time frame specified in the applicable arbitration rules. The
arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and
conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the
arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary
damages on an individual basis and to grant, on an individual basis, any
non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual to the extent
available under applicable law, arbitration rules, and these Terms. In
no event will a claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated.
Attorneys’ fees will be available to the prevailing party in the
arbitration only if authorized under applicable substantive law
governing the claims in the arbitration. If the arbitrator finds that
either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand
for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as
measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
11(b)), Bath & Body Works will have the right to recover its
attorneys’ fees and expenses.
For U.S. residents, the FAA, not state law, shall govern the
arbitrability of all Disputes between Bath & Body Works, including
this Section and the “No Class Action Matters” Section below. BY
AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT
AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Bath & Body Works and
you agree, however, that Ohio law shall apply to and govern all
Disputes between you and Bath & Body Works, without regard to any
jurisdiction’s choice of law principles. If you reside in the U.S. (and
as applicable to U.S. residents), this Section, Section 18, and
Sections 19 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant
to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Bath & Body Works agree
that we intend Sections 17-19 of this Agreement to satisfy the “writing”
requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).
This Section survives the termination of the Program. You can obtain
AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA:
800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.
-
18. No Class Action Matters
YOU AND BATH & BODY WORKS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS
AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE
PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Except as expressly contemplated in
Section 19 below, Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual
basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations
or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other
party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be
arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes
brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general
public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. The arbitrator
does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
If, for any reason, this restriction is deemed unconscionable or
unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate (set forth in Sections
16-19) will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in a
state or federal court in Ohio. Accordingly, you and Bath & Body
Works consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such
courts for such matters. If any portion of Sections 16-19 other than
the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration are
deemed invalid or unenforceable, all other portions of this Agreement
shall continue to govern. This Section survives the termination of the
Program.
-
19. Special Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration.
If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against
Bath & Body Works by the same or coordinated counsel or are
otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that the resolution of
your Dispute might be delayed. You also agree to the following
coordinated bellwether process and application of the AAA Multiple
Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule. Counsel for the claimants and counsel
for Bath & Body Works shall each select five (5) cases (per side)
to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a
bellwether process; the parties may but are not required to agree in
writing to modify the number of cases to be included in the bellwether
process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in
arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those
cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration
proceedings pursuant to this provision. In the bellwether process, a
single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be
assigned to each arbitrator during the bellwether process unless the
parties agree otherwise. After decisions have been rendered in the first
ten (10) cases, Bath & Body Works and all claimants shall engage in
a global mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases with
the benefit of the decisions in the bellwether cases. If the parties are
unable to resolve the remaining cases after the mediation, each side
shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual
arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. After
decisions have been rendered in the second group of twenty (20) cases,
Bath & Body Works and all claimants shall engage in a second global
mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases with the benefit
of the decisions in the decided bellwether cases; if a global settlement
cannot be reached in the second mediation, the parties also may discuss
with the mediator the process for resolving the remaining cases with
the benefit of the decisions in the first two (2) rounds of bellwether
cases; the parties are not required to agree to any modifications to the
process set forth herein. Absent a settlement or agreement to modify
the procedure for arbitrating the remaining cases, in order to increase
the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, the
arbitration provider shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in
batches of fifty (50) demands per batch (to the extent there are fewer
than fifty (50) arbitration demands left over after the batching
described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining demands);
(ii) designate one (1) arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide for a
single filing fee due per side per batch. You agree to cooperate in
good faith with Bath & Body Works and the arbitration provider to
implement such a “batch approach” or other similar approach to provide
for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of single
filing and administrative fees for batches of claims.
This Section shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class
arbitration of any kind. Bath & Body Works does not agree or consent
to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or
arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any
circumstances, except in the limited circumstances set forth in this
Section. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall
be tolled for claims subject to this Section from the time of the first
cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is
selected to proceed, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall
have authority to enforce this Section and, if necessary, to enjoin the
mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Bath &
Body Works. This Section survives the termination of the Program.

accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without reference to its
conflicts of laws principles.
- Fraud. Fraud or abuse relating to the Account
registration process, providing of personal information, or earning or
redemption of Loyalty Components is a violation of these Terms. You are
solely responsible for any fraudulent use that may occur due to the
theft of or sharing of your Account password or your device. You agree
to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your Account or any
other breach of security known to you. The Program is a service provided
to an individual Participant, not a company or other entity, and a
company or other entity may not direct, encourage or allow individuals
to participate in the Program for anything other than individual use.
Bath & Body Works reserves the right to take any of the actions set
forth in Section 2 if you engage in fraudulent activity or otherwise use
this Program other than in accordance with these Terms and applicable
law. ANY ATTEMPT BY YOU OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY TO DAMAGE ANY
WEB SITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM IS A
VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS. BATH & BODY WORKS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO
INVESTIGATE ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AND TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH
PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND THIS AGREEMENT.
- Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief.
IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN
CONNECTION WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, THEN THE LOSSES,
DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE
YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS
MEANS THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT
SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER
ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR
EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITES, APPLICATION, CONTENT, THE PROGRAM, USER
CONTENT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED,
USED OR CONTROLLED BY US.
- Indemnity. In exchange for the right to
participate in the Program, you agree to indemnify, defend (at our
option) and hold us harmless from and against any and all damages,
losses, liabilities, claims, costs, investigations, judgments, fines,
penalties, settlements, interest, expenses or demands, including, but
not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of
property, that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to: (i)
your use of the Program and your activities in connection with the
Program; (ii) your breach or anticipatory breach of these Terms (as
updated from time to time); (iii) your violation or anticipatory
violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances,
or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities in
connection with your use of the Program or your activities in connection
with the Website, the App and/or the Program; (iv) any
misrepresentation made by you; and (v) our use of the information that
you submit to us (all of the foregoing, “Claims and Losses”). You will
cooperate as fully required by us in the defense of any Claim and
Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we retain the exclusive right to
settle, compromise, and pay any and all Claims and Losses. We reserve
the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims and
Losses. You will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each
instance, the prior written consent of an officer of Bath & Body
Works.
- Updates to Terms. These Terms, in the form posted
at the time of your use of the Program, shall govern such use
(including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR PROGRAM
EVOLVES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE PROGRAM MAY
BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE PROGRAM UNDER THE TERMS FOR
WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN
TO YOUR ACCOUNT OR OTHERWISE USE THE PROGRAM YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW
AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE
MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE APP OR WEBSITE (OR
IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, VIA EMAIL), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM AFTER SUCH
NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE REVISED TERMS.
Therefore, you should review the posted Terms each time you use the
Program. The revised Terms will be effective as of the time that we post
them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice
to you. However, except with respect to the provisions set forth in
Sections 16, 17, 18, and 19, the Terms that applied when you previously
used the Program will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes
and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the
event any notice to you of new, revised or additional Terms is
determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall
continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement to Terms
occurs. You should frequently check the App and Website and the e-mail
you associated with your Account for notices, all of which you agree are
reasonable manners of providing you notice. You can reject any new or
revised Terms by discontinuing use of the Program.
