For each User Submission you send, post, upload, or otherwise make available to our Channels, you grant to Dressbarn and its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates an irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, perpetual, fully sub-licensable and assignable, royalty-free license to use, exploit, reproduce, modify, translate, incorporate in other works, create derivative works from, publish, broadcast, and perform that User Submission and your name, voice, likeness, and other identifying information in connection with that User Submission via any media now known or later developed, without any compensation or further notice to you.
Representation and Warranty. By submitting a User Submission, you represent and warrant that:
You are the sole author and owner of the intellectual property and other rights thereto;
Subject to applicable laws, all "moral rights" that you may have in such content have been voluntarily waived by you, even if the User Submission is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you;
All content that you post is honest, accurate and not misleading;
You will not impersonate any other person, user or company or upload or post User Submissions that you know are false, fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, misleading or that misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company;
Use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms and will not cause injury to any person or entity;
Your User Submission relates to the content on our Channels and is intended to add to the discussion and community on our Channels and does not include irrelevant topics or postings (this is not the place to discuss politics, religion, or private matters);
Your User Submission is not for commercial purposes and does not advertise or promote a product or service except those provided on our Channels;
You will be respectful of others' opinions and comments so we can continue to build a Community Forum for everyone to enjoy. If you think your User Submission might offend someone, chances are it probably will and it does not belong on a Community Forum; AND
Your User Submission is suitable for a public forum.
You further agree and warrant that you will not submit any User Submission:
That infringes any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy;
That violates any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising);
That is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libelous, indecent, obscene, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening, unlawfully harassing, abusive, or threatening to any individual, partnership or corporation, or negative toward or connected to national origin, gender, sexual preference or physical handicap. Cursing, stalking, posting insulting comments, personal attacks, gossip or similar actions are prohibited and your User Submission may not threaten abuse or harm others;
That includes any information that references other websites, or personal information about you or another person (e.g., full name, password, phone number, address, e-mail address, financial information, other personally identifiable information or contact information, or information that may be used to track, contact, or impersonate that individual or that is extremely personal in nature);
That contains any computer viruses, worms or other potentially damaging computer or electronic programs, code or files; or
That promotes violence or describes how to perform a violent act.
Please remember that each Community Forum is a public forum and any User Submission that you post on a Community Forum will be accessible and viewable by other users.
All User Submissions that you submit may be used at our sole discretion. We do not guarantee that you will have any recourse through our Channels to edit or delete any content you have submitted. You acknowledge that you, not Dressbarn, are responsible for the content of your User Submission. Neither we nor the Dressbarn Affiliates are responsible for, and we do not endorse, any User Submission posted in Community Forums or elsewhere on our Channels.
No Obligation to Prescreen/Monitor. We do not have, and do not undertake, any obligation to prescreen, monitor, edit, or remove any User Submission. However, we retain the right (but not the obligation), in our sole discretion and for any reason, to prescreen, monitor, edit, refuse to accept, post, remove, or move any User Submission. Because we may not prescreen User Submissions, if your User Submission contains offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable content, or infringes on the rights of any third parties, you may bear legal responsibility for that User Submission. You agree that Dressbarn has no obligation to monitor or enforce your intellectual property rights to your User Submission, but has the right to protect and enforce its and its licensors' licensed rights to your User Submission.
No Confidential Relationship, Compensation, or Liability.

You agree that if you submit content, information, ideas, suggestions, designs, or other materials to Dressbarn, those materials are submitted voluntarily.

ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER/DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Summary:
Most or your concerns can be resolved quickly to your satisfaction by contacting our Customer Service Center via 1-800-DRESSBARN (373-7722). In the unlikely event that Customer Service cannot resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after trying to do so informally, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration rather than in court. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows less discovery than courts, and is subject to very limited court review. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will serve as the arbitration provider. We agree that any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis. Representative, group, collective or class actions or arbitrations are not permitted. As explained below, if you prevail in arbitration, Dressbarn may pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator's award and will pay your actual, reasonable attorney's fees if you are awarded an amount greater than what Dressbarn offered you to settle the dispute before arbitration.
You may speak with your own lawyer before using this Website or purchasing any product or service, but your use of this Website and the purchase of any product or service constitutes your agreement to these Terms.
Arbitration Agreement:
Dressbarn and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The kinds of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted, including but not limited to:
claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising, or any other legal theory;
claims that arose before these or any prior Terms became effective;
claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to "Dressbarn," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Website and our products and services under these Terms or any prior agreements between us.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Dressbarn are each WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE, GROUP, COLLECTIVE OR CLASS ACTION OR ARBITRATION.
You acknowledge that use of this Website and/or purchase of products or services constitutes a transaction in interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement survives termination of these Terms.
A party seeking arbitration under these Terms must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") to the other party. A Notice to Dressbarn should be addressed to: [addressee and address, Attn: Notice of Dispute (the "Notice Address"). Dressbarn may send a written Notice to the electronic mail address that you provided when you created an account, if any. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Dressbarn and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Dressbarn may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Dressbarn or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we is entitled.
You may download or copy a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) website at:
http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015820.
(There is a separate form for California residents, also available on the AAA's website at:
http://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowPDF?doc=ADRSTG_015822.)
After Dressbarn receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your total claim is for more than $75,000. If your total claim exceeds $75,000, the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA rules. The filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitration is currently $300, but this is subject to change by AAA, the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee and your total claim is for $75,000 or less, Dressbarn will pay the filing fee directly after receiving a written request at the Notice Address. Except as otherwise provided herein, Dressbarn will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with these Terms. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse the AIC for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.
d. All arbitration proceedings will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the AAA (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide.
e. Unless Dressbarn and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county or parish of the contact address you submitted to us. If your total claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephone hearing, or by an in-person hearing governed by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either by telephone or in person, we may choose to respond only by written or telephonic response. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a telephone or in-person hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration under these Terms, neither party will rely on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration to which Company was a party. In all cases, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned, written decision sufficient to explain the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based.
f. If the arbitrator finds in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Dressbarn will pay you either the amount of the award or $2,000 ("the Alternative Payment"), whichever is greater, plus the actual amount of reasonable attorney's fees and expenses that you incurred in investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the "Attorney's Payment"). If we did not make you a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you will be entitled to receive the Alternative Payment and the Attorney's Payment, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the Alternative Payment and the Attorney's Payment at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits. In assessing whether an award that includes attorney’s fees or expenses is greater than the value of Dressbarn’s last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall consider only the actual attorney’s fees or expenses reasonably incurred before Dressbarn’s settlement offer.
g. The right to attorney's fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (f) supplements any right to attorney's fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. If you would be entitled to a larger amount under applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorney's fees or costs. Although under some laws Dressbarn may have a right to an award of attorney's fees and expenses from you if it prevails in an arbitration, we will not seek such an award.
h. The arbitrator may award monetary and injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND DRESSBARN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE, GROUP OR CLASS ACTION OR ARBITRATION, OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Dressbarn agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, group or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims remain subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
i. If the total amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or either party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party's notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA.
j. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any material change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone number), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration provision, any such termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.
k. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In no event will you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of these Terms or the Channels.
