PLEASE NOTE, IN PARTICULAR, THE MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER SET FORTH IN SECTION 14 (BELOW), WHICH, SUBJECT TO SOME LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

YOU AND GUCCI EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS IN THIS SECTION 13 ARE INTENDED TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOLVING THEIR DISPUTES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF ANY PARTY’S CLAIMS.
THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ANY CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND GUCCI (EACH, A “PARTY;” TOGETHER, THE “PARTIES”) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OF USE, OUR PRODUCTS, YOUR VISIT TO THE WEBSITE, OUR ADVERTISING OR MARKETING, OUR PRIVACY AND DATA SECURITY PRACTICES, AND TO ANY IN-STORE OR ONLINE PURCHASE, TRANSACTION, RETURN OR OTHER INTERACTION WITH GUCCI, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, STATUTE, REGULATION, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE BASIS (EACH, A “CLAIM”), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

The route to small claims court shall only be the result of a direct filing by you or Gucci. As set forth below, a Claim commenced in arbitration may not be secondarily directed to small claims court per otherwise applicable rules.
THIS ENTIRE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THESE TERMS OF USE, THE PARTIES’ RELATIONSHIP, OR THE END OF YOUR USE OF ANY SERVICES.
14.1 Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution for All Claims
If you have a Claim against Gucci or if Gucci has a Claim against you, you and Gucci must first attempt to resolve the Claim informally in order to try to resolve the Claim faster and reduce costs for both parties. You and Gucci agree to engage in good faith pre-suit/pre-arbitration discussions for a period of no less than sixty (60) days (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). During that time, the Parties will communicate directly with each other about any Claim and attempt to resolve it without initiating an arbitration. The foregoing process shall be referred to herein as the “Informal Resolution Process.”
To commence the Informal Resolution Process, you or Gucci must send to the other Party a written notice of Claim ("Notice") describing the facts and circumstances of the Claim and the specific relief sought and including any supporting documentation. Your Notice must be mailed via certified or first class registered mail with proof of receipt to us at Gucci America, Inc. 195 Broadway, New York, New York 10007 – USA, Attn: General Counsel, Legal Department. We will send any Notice to you (1) first class or certified mail at your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile; (2) by electronic mail to the email address we have on file for you (if any). If we do not have a physical or email address on file for you, or if we are, for any reason, unable to provide notice via the contact information on file, we reserve the right to provide notice by such means as we deem reasonable.
The Informal Resolution Process is intended to allow the party who has received a Notice to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if it chooses to do so. The statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadlines for a Claim shall be tolled for the duration of the Informal Resolution Process. Should Gucci request a telephone conference with you in an effort to resolve your claim as part of this process, you agree to personally participate (with your counsel if you are represented).
Completion of the Informal Resolution Process and expiration of the sixty (60) day period shall be express conditions precedent to either Party serving an Arbitration Demand (defined below) or otherwise initiating a lawsuit (should the Arbitration Clause below not apply). You and Gucci agree that any action commenced in arbitration or court without first exhausting the Informal Resolution Process shall be defective and subject to dismissal at the cost of the Party found to have prematurely commenced the action.
14.2 Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND GUCCI AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, INCLUDING ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND.
Additionally, you agree that you will not be a member of any putative or actual class in a class action brought by anyone else against Gucci, nor will you seek to become a class representative. You further agree that in any action you initiate against Gucci, any relief you seek will be confined to relief on your own behalf.
Together, the terms in the preceding paragraph shall be called and operate as the “Class Action Waiver.” To the extent any portion of this Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable, the Arbitration Clause below shall not apply, notwithstanding any severability provisions herein.
Except as the Terms of Use otherwise provide and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Gucci acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury.
14.3 Arbitration Clause
You and Gucci agree that CLAIMS SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. This requirement, and the terms set forth in subsections 13.4 and 13.5, shall collectively be referred to as the “Arbitration Clause.”
These Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and the enforceability of this Section 13 (except with respect to the Class Action Waiver) will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. By consenting to arbitration, you and Gucci do not limit in any way either Party’s statutory or common law rights or potential remedies to which either Party would be entitled were a claim being heard in a court.
Any arbitration shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration and be governed by its rules then in effect, including the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines in effect on the date such action is commenced. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/) if it is determined by JAMS or the arbitrator that these standards are applicable to the Dispute.
You and Gucci empower the arbitrator(s) with the exclusive authority to resolve any Claim relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these Terms of Use or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any Claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable. For the avoidance of doubt, you and Gucci agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this agreement to arbitrate or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The arbitrator shall determine in accordance with the applicable rules, without limitation, all issues regarding filing fees, form of pleadings, procedures for payment, locale, seat, arbitrator selection and disclosures, exchange of information, presentation of evidence, and criteria for any Arbitration Demand, Answer, and other claims, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted (1) solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator or (2) through a non-appearance based hearing by teleconference or videoconference. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award. You agree that the existence or results of any arbitration will be treated as confidential.
You and Gucci agree to opt out of JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards Rule 1(b) concerning small claims court, and waive the right to return any claim to Small Claims Court at any time after the filing of an Arbitration Demand under the applicable JAMS rules. You and Gucci agree that Confidential information of either Party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) shall not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce or vacate the arbitration award, and that any permitted court filing of confidential information must be done under seal to the furthest extent permitted by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration either you or Gucci file an individual claim in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of its intellectual property rights, provided that any such claim is brought and maintained on an individual basis.
14.4 Special Procedures for Mass Filings
To the extent an arbitration falls within the JAMS’s definition of a Mass Arbitration, the Parties agree to be bound by the procedures set forth in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines effective on May 1, 2024, as amended thereafter, and that the additional procedures set forth below shall apply, unless the Parties jointly agree otherwise.
The Parties shall each select 15 Claims per side (30 Claims total) to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of the first stage in a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining Claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those Claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled beginning when the Informal Dispute Resolution procedures are initiated (so long as the pre-arbitration Notice complies with the requirements herein), until a given Claim is selected to proceed as part of the staged process herein, or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration.
After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the Parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Gucci shall pay the mediator’s fee. If the remaining Claims are not resolved at this time, the Parties will continue the same staged process, as set forth in this Special Procedures for Mass Filings section, by arbitrating a maximum of 30 individual Claims at a time (15 Claims selected by each Party), until the Parties are able to resolve all of the Claims, either through settlement or arbitration.
Notwithstanding the provisions herein, in Mass Arbitrations consisting of more than 500 Claims total, either party may opt out of arbitration and elect to have the Claims heard in court.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this entire Dispute Resolution section and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your Claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your Claim, then your Claim shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of these Terms of Use.
14.5 Time Limits
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY CLAIM MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, THAT CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. For purposes of this provision, a Claim is considered commenced at the time the Notice in the Informal Dispute Resolution section is sent, as defined above. To the extent a Claim is filed in arbitration or court without first providing such notice (which would be contrary to these Terms of Use, as set forth herein), the Claim is deemed commenced at the time of such filing.
14.6 Applicable Law
These Terms of Use have been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the state of New York, USA, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles. Except for disputes or claims not subject to the agreement to arbitrate in Section 14.3 shall be resolved by a court located in New York and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action. You further agree that any such claims will be brought and maintained solely on an individual basis pursuant to the Class Waiver in Section 14.2, and not as part of any class, consolidated, collective or representative capacity, and that you waive your right to a jury trial with respect to any such action. You and Gucci acknowledge that these Terms of Use evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms of Use shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
To the extent the Class Action Waiver or Arbitration Clause do not apply, normal conflict of law procedures shall apply, and any Claim shall be resolved exclusively by an appropriate federal or state court sitting in the State of New York.

1. Purpose
Gucci America, Inc. (“Gucci”) is committed to transparency and honesty in all of its advertising messages and promotional communications with consumers. Therefore, Gucci hereby adopts this Social Media and Endorsement Policy (this “Policy”).
This Policy applies to all Gucci independent contractors, employees, agents, speakers, writers, bloggers, talent, endorsers and any other individual or entity engaged in promotional activities on behalf of Gucci, whether they are engaged by Gucci directly, or through an agency, representative of an agency, subsidiary, or franchise (collectively referred to herein as “Endorsers”).
This Policy is intended to outline the policies and procedures of Gucci with respect to any and all advertising messages or promotional communications made by Endorsers. It is also intended to address endorsements and testimonials made by Endorsers about Gucci, and/or its products and services, whether those endorsements and testimonials are made through “traditional media,” such as television commercials or print ads, or “new media,” or “social media,” such as websites, blogs, mobile applications or any other form of media that may be used by advertisers.
Endorsers are legally responsible for their opinions, comments and content. Individual Endorsers can be held personally liable by third parties for any commentary deemed to be defamatory; obscene; proprietary to, or owned by, others; or libelous to Gucci, its suppliers/partners or any other person or entity. For these reasons, Endorsers should exercise caution with regard to exaggeration, colorful language, guesswork, obscenity, materials used in content, conclusions, images and/or video, and derogatory remarks or characterizations.
In addition, Endorsers should at all times be mindful that, given advances in technology, opinions, comments or content may remain public, and may be archived, stored and retrievable, indefinitely.
2. Standards of Conduct
With respect to statements or other claims made in advertising messages or promotional communications about Gucci and/or its products or services, Endorsers must adhere to the following principles:
a. Endorsers may only make statements that reflect their honest beliefs, opinions, experiences or recommendations. Gucci encourages these statements to be in the first person. Endorsers may not make statements about experiences with a product that they have not personally tried, examined or evaluated.
b. Endorsements by organizations must reflect the collective judgment of the organization, as approved by senior management.
c. Endorsers may not make deceptive or misleading claims about Gucci’s products or services, or Gucci’s competitors’ products or services, to consumers.
d. Endorsers may not make any claims about Gucci’s products or services, or Gucci’s competitors’ products or services, that are not substantiated (i.e., claims may not be made about a product that would require proof that the Endorser does not have).
e. Endorsers may not engage in any communication that is defamatory or infringes upon the intellectual property, or privacy and publicity rights of others, including competitors.
f. Endorsers may not offer for sale, or solicit, products or services on behalf of Gucci.
g. Endorsers may not make offensive comments that have the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating or hostile environment, including telling lies or spreading rumors about Gucci or its affiliates and their respective Endorsers, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, licensees or competitors.
h. Endorsers may not use ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity, or other offensive language.
i. Endorsers may not make any comments or post any content that in any way promotes unsafe activities that could lead to an unsafe situation involving Gucci’s customers or other individuals.
j. Endorsers may not make any comments or post any content that may violate applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations.
k. Endorsers must adhere to the legal conditions on Gucci’s web site and the posting guidelines and Terms of Use on any web site on which they post content on behalf of Gucci.
l. Endorsers must strive for high quality with every comment or post, including adherence to basic spellchecking and rules of grammar.
m. Endorsers that are also employees of Gucci must also adhere to any and all guidelines provided by Gucci to its employees with respect to social media and related matters.
n. Endorsers must adhere to any specific additional guidelines provided by Gucci.
o. Endorsers must always use sound judgment and common sense.
3. Disclosure Requirements
a. Endorsers must clearly and conspicuously disclose and make readily apparent all “material connections” to Gucci in all advertising messages and promotional communications concerning Gucci and/or its products or services.
i. A “material connection” is one that could influence the weight or credibility a reasonable consumer would give to the communications or messages made by the Endorser. Such connections may be in the form of (a) consideration (such as monetary compensation, including fees or commissions; gift cards; event access; prizes; or free or discounted products or services) provided by Gucci (or any of its agents acting on its behalf) to the Endorser, or (b) a relationship between Gucci and the Endorser (such as employment or contractual relationships).
ii. Some examples of appropriate material connection disclosures are:
- I received [product] from Gucci as a gift;
- [Thanks to][Courtesy of] Gucci, I was given this [product]
- Gucci sent me [product] to try;
- Some of the products reviewed in this blog post were sent to me by Gucci;
- This post is a paid advertisement for Gucci;
- I am an employee of Gucci.
These are simply examples of appropriate disclosures and variations on these examples may be appropriate based on the context. The key is to make it apparent to the reasonable consumer that Gucci provided the subject product or service, as opposed to the Endorser independently purchasing or obtaining the subject product or service.
iii. It is not sufficient to make a single disclosure on a home page or legal terms/disclaimer page that, for example, “many of the products I discuss on this site are provided to me free of charge by their manufacturers.” Disclosures should be tied to the specific products at issue and readily apparent to readers of the particular blog post.
iv. When using a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or similar platform, Endorsers should endeavor to include a link on their main profile page directing followers to a comprehensive disclosure statement.
b. Endorsers who post their own opinions, comments, content or recommendations about Gucci, and/or its products or services, must disclose that their views do not necessarily represent those of Gucci.
4. Third Party Endorsers
Endorsers that employ or contract with third parties to have such third parties deliver advertising messages or other promotional communications to consumers (e.g., advertising agencies, network marketing agencies and blogger networks) are also required to cause those third parties to agree to this Policy before engaging them to communicate to consumers about Gucci and/or its products or services.
5. Trademarks and Intellectual Property
All emblems, logotypes, insignia, designs, devices, colors, artwork, trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade dress and copyrights, and the commercial goodwill associated therewith, that at any time were or are owned, applied to be registered or registered (irrespective of class of goods/services), controlled, cleared for use by, or on behalf of, or licensed by Gucci or any of its affiliates may only be used or posted by Endorsers with the prior written consent of Gucci in each instance, strictly in accordance with the specific guidelines provided by Gucci.
6. Confidentiality
Endorsers may develop, have access to, or directly or indirectly be exposed to, information of a proprietary and confidential nature about Gucci (including without limitation its business operations and activities, strategic plans and financial information) which, if disclosed, could have a negative effect on Gucci. Endorsers shall keep confidential and not disclose any such information and, upon termination of an Endorser’s relationship with Gucci, the Endorser shall promptly return to Gucci any confidential information in the Endorser’s possession. In the event that there is any question as to whether particular information is confidential in nature, Endorsers must promptly contact Gucci for clarification and approval before posting, commenting, blogging or uploading content.
7. Press Inquiries
Endorsers’ endorsements and testimonials may generate media coverage. Media inquiries of any kind regarding endorsements or testimonials relating to Gucci, whether from online (news engines, bloggers) or mainstream (newspapers, magazines) media outlets, must be referred to Gucci using the Notice information below. Endorsers may not engage in any discussions or correspondence with any members of the media, or make any public oral or written statement, in each case regarding endorsements or testimonials relating to Gucci, without first consulting with, and receiving permission from, the appropriate authorized Gucci representative in each instance.
8. Questions
Any questions concerning the contents of this Policy should be referred to socialmediapolicy@us.gucci.com.
9. Right to Modify Policy
Gucci reserves the right to amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify this Policy at any time. In the event of a dispute as to the interpretation of this Policy, Gucci’s interpretation shall be final.
10. Effective Date
This Policy is effective immediately and was last updated October 15, 2013.
California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010
Last Updated October 2015
Corporate disclosure
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) requires California businesses to disclose their efforts to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking, thereby allowing consumers to make better, more-informed choices regarding the products they buy and the companies they choose to support.
Gucci has taken steps to evaluate the risks of forced labor in our supply chain. Within Gucci, procurement falls into two broad categories: (1) sourcing of raw materials such as gold, diamonds, precious stones, textiles, and leather; and (2) procurement of other types of goods and services to support the day-to-day running of our operations, such as energy, manufacturing, and office equipment. Although the social impact of the goods and services that Gucci purchases often lies outside our direct control, where possible, we have taken proactive steps to ensure the absence of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain.
Gucci is part of the Kering Luxury Division (formerly known as “PPR Luxury Group” and “Gucci Group”), which has certified several of its businesses under Social Accountability International’s (SAI) SA8000 standard [http://www.sa-intl.org/]. SA8000 sets out a strong approach concerning forced labor and provides guidance to our suppliers and business partners regarding responsible sourcing. SA8000 includes an endorsement by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Among other issues, SA8000 specifically forbids the use of forced or involuntary labor as defined in ILO Convention 29, including employment of people under the age of 15, unless a higher age is required by law, in which case the higher age applies. While several of Kering Luxury Division’s businesses have certification under SA8000, the Kering Group continues its commitment to bring all of its businesses into compliance with SA8000 and obtain certification.
As part of SA8000, Gucci’s suppliers, subcontractors and subsuppliers are required to make a written commitment to all SA8000 requirements, participate in monitoring activities as requested by Gucci, promptly resolve any nonconformance with SA8000, and notify Gucci concerning any relevant business relationships. Moreover, by virtue of our adherence to SA8000, Gucci will be subject to announced and unannounced audits to determine compliance with the SA8000 standard, and Gucci’s suppliers are subject to the same. Kering Luxury Division’s standard supply agreements already refer to and adopt the SA8000 requirements, obligating its suppliers to confirm compliance with the standard. The brands of Kering Luxury Division also often use several of the same suppliers, subcontractors and subsuppliers, so to the extent that businesses of the Kering Group are already certified, other businesses of the Kering Group that are not yet certified have been well positioned to be in compliance with SA8000 and obtain certification.
Gucci also addresses slavery and human trafficking through our involvement in the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC). The RJC was established in 2005 to promote responsible ethical, human rights, social, and environmental practices in the diamond and gold supply chains. Gucci became a member in November 2009. As a member, Gucci has committed to efforts to address slavery and human trafficking and is subject to RJC audits concerning our own compliance. RJC Code of Practices certification, began in January 2012 and renewed in 2015, integrates the Gucci commitment for a Responsible Jewellery. The certification process is rigorous, including independent audits regarding the member’s compliance with human rights standards. Many of Gucci’s suppliers are also members of the RJC and complete their own RJC certification. RJC has grown to include some 300 members since its founding, from miners to retailers. Additional information on RJC can be obtained here: [http://www.responsiblejewellery.com/]
Kering Luxury Division’s internal policies also articulate the Kering Group’s determination to rid its supply chain of human trafficking and forced labor. For example, Kering Code of Ethics states that its businesses will not tolerate child or forced labor in the production of their products.
Gucci shares this determination to pursue full compliance with all applicable Laws, Regulations and Directives, such as the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and relevant ILO Conventions. It specifically addresses Gucci’s dedication to eradicating child labor and forced labor from the company’s supply chain.
Gucci expects and depends on our managers and employees to uphold a zero-tolerance policy regarding forced labor. As such, Gucci has taken steps to increase employee awareness and compliance regarding slavery and human trafficking issues. Kering Code of Ethics is provided to all employees and suppliers. Employees are encouraged to report violations of the Kering Code of Ethics. Moreover, as part of SA8000 certification, the standard will be displayed at business locations to inform personnel about Kering Luxury Division’s voluntary commitment to this standard and its requirements.
