13.4 The terms and conditions set forth herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the User and shoplafamosa with respect to the subject matter set forth in the Website and/or Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications or proposals, whether written or oral, and supersede all contrary representations contained in the Website and/or Services, including but not limited to any statements of policy or answers to frequently asked questions.

Social Media and Endorsement Policy
1. Purpose
shoplafamosa America, Inc. (“shoplafamosa”) is committed to transparency and honesty in all of its advertising messages and promotional communications with consumers. Therefore, shoplafamosa hereby adopts this Social Media and Endorsement Policy (this “Policy”).
This Policy applies to all shoplafamosa independent contractors, employees, agents, speakers, writers, bloggers, talent, endorsers and any other individual or entity engaged in promotional activities on behalf of shoplafamosa, whether they are engaged by shoplafamosa 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 shoplafamosa 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 shoplafamosa, 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 shoplafamosa, 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 shoplafamosa 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. shoplafamosa 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 shoplafamosa’s products or services, or shoplafamosa’s competitors’ products or services, to consumers.
d. Endorsers may not make any claims about shoplafamosa’s products or services, or shoplafamosa’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 shoplafamosa.
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 shoplafamosa 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 shoplafamosa’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 shoplafamosa’s web site and the posting guidelines and Terms of Use on any web site on which they post content on behalf of shoplafamosa.

n. Endorsers must adhere to any specific additional guidelines provided by shoplafamosa.
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 shoplafamosa in all advertising messages and promotional communications concerning shoplafamosa 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 shoplafamosa (or any of its agents acting on its behalf) to the Endorser, or (b) a relationship between shoplafamosa and the Endorser (such as employment or contractual relationships).
ii. Some examples of appropriate material connection disclosures are:
– I received from shoplafamosa as a gift;
– [Thanks to][Courtesy of] shoplafamosa, I was given this

– This post is a paid advertisement for shoplafamosa;
– I am an employee of shoplafamosa.
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 shoplafamosa 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.

b. Endorsers who post their own opinions, comments, content or recommendations about shoplafamosa, and/or its products or services, must disclose that their views do not necessarily represent those of shoplafamosa.

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 shoplafamosa or any of its affiliates may only be used or posted by Endorsers with the prior written consent of shoplafamosa in each instance, strictly in accordance with the specific guidelines provided by shoplafamosa.
6. Confidentiality

Endorsers shall keep confidential and not disclose any such information and, upon termination of an Endorser’s relationship with shoplafamosa, the Endorser shall promptly return to shoplafamosa any confidential information in the Endorser’s possession.

Media inquiries of any kind regarding endorsements or testimonials relating to shoplafamosa, whether from online (news engines, bloggers) or mainstream (newspapers, magazines) media outlets, must be referred to shoplafamosa using the Notice information below.

California Disclosures
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.
shoplafamosa has taken steps to evaluate the risks of forced labor in our supply chain. Within shoplafamosa, 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 shoplafamosa 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.
shoplafamosa is part of the Kering Luxury Division (formerly known as “PPR Luxury Group” and “shoplafamosa 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, shoplafamosa’s suppliers, subcontractors and subsuppliers are required to make a written commitment to all SA8000 requirements, participate in monitoring activities as requested by shoplafamosa, promptly resolve any nonconformance with SA8000, and notify shoplafamosa concerning any relevant business relationships. Moreover, by virtue of our adherence to SA8000, shoplafamosa will be subject to announced and unannounced audits to determine compliance with the SA8000 standard, and shoplafamosa’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.
shoplafamosa 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. shoplafamosa became a member in November 2009. As a member, shoplafamosa 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 shoplafamosa commitment for a Responsible Jewellery. The certification process is rigorous, including independent audits regarding the member’s compliance with human rights standards. Many of shoplafamosa’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.
shoplafamosa 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 shoplafamosa’s dedication to eradicating child labor and forced labor from the company’s supply chain.
shoplafamosa expects and depends on our managers and employees to uphold a zero-tolerance policy regarding forced labor. As such, shoplafamosa 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.
