Collective Voice

POPSUGAR Inc., is the owner and operator of the ShopStyle websites and ShopStyle Collective Service (“ShopStyle“). ShopStyle has partnered with Dress for Success^®, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (“DFS“) to support DFS’s mission of promoting the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life, through the ShopStyle Collective Bloggers Give Back with Dress for Success promotion (the “Promotion“). 

Terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the ShopStyle Collective Terms located at https://www.shopstylecollective.com/help/terms (the “ShopStyle Collective Terms“).

You must be a current, active member of ShopStyle Collective in good standing to participate in the Promotion. You may participate only if you reside in the 50 United States of America.

By participating in the Promotion you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (together, the “Terms“).

ShopStyle reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Terms at any time by posting a notice on ShopStyle’s website, or by sending you a notice via email or postal mail. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Your participation in the Promotion following such notice constitutes your acceptance of the Terms as modified.

           Start:          December 8, 2015 (12:01AM) (Pacific Time) (“Promotion Start Date“)

           End:           December 9, 2015 (11:59PM) (Pacific Time)

During the Promotion Period, you pledge to donate 10% of your ShopStyle Sales (defined below) to DFS, subject to any maximum donation limit established by you as further described below (the “Blogger Donation“).

“ShopStyle Sales” means (A) the net revenue actually received by a ShopStyle retailer partner with products on www.shopstyle.com (“ShopStyle Site“) as a result of an end user in the Territory clicking on a ShopStyle Link from your website or application (“Sites“), clicking on a product from the ShopStyle Site and then purchasing a product on the retailer’s website, as reported by the retailer to ShopStyle, minus (B) (i) discounts, (ii) taxes, (iii) shipping expenses, and (iv) actual value of returns corresponding to ShopStyle Sales, through and until February 9, 2016.

“Territory” means the 50 United States of America excluding Alabama, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, and South Carolina.

ShopStyle will match each Blogger Donation on a $1 for $1 basis, up to a maximum of US$15,000 (“ShopStyle Donation“); provided, that if the aggregate Blogger Donation is less than US$5,000, then ShopStyle will increase its donation above the $1 for $1 match such that the minimum combined Blogger Donation and ShopStyle Donation to DFS is US$10,000. 

You may limit your Blogger Donation at 125% of your daily average earnings through ShopStyle Collective in October 2015, as calculated and communicated to you by ShopStyle.  You must notify ShopStyle if you wish to impose a maximum limit through the submission form on or before 3 p.m. PST, Friday, December 4, 2015.

For illustration, if your ShopStyle Collective daily average earnings for October were $100, you may limit your total donation at $125.

Any maximum contribution must be clearly disclosed in all Marketing Materials (defined below).

ShopStyle will calculate and deduct your Blogger Donation from your ShopStyle Collective payment as follows:

            •          65% of your anticipated Blogger Donation will be deducted from your regularly scheduled ShopStyle Collective payment on January 20, 2016 (assuming a 30% return rate).

            •          The balance of your actual Blogger Donation will be deducted from your regularly scheduled ShopStyle Collective payment on February 20, 2016.        

ShopStyle will remit your Blogger Donation to DFS on your behalf.  In the event the value of your Blogger Donation exceeds your ShopStyle Collective payment on either of the foregoing dates, you agree that ShopStyle may deduct the balance of your Blogger Donation from any  subsequent ShopStyle Collective payments to you.

Any statements, marketing, and publicity activities and materials related to the Promotion (together, the “Marketing Materials“) must strictly comply with the Marketing Guidelines located at [insert link] and all
applicable laws, rules, and regulations.  You acknowledge and agree that ShopStyle may update the Marketing Guidelines at any time upon notice (email to be sufficient) and that you will be bound by any such updates.  In addition, your Marketing Materials must contain any and all disclosures required by applicable law and regulations governing cause-related marketing programs and by the Better Business Bureau Standards for Charity Accountability, Standard #19. 

You expressly understand and agree that the Marketing Materials shall not suggest any endorsement of your products, services, or Sites, or of ShopStyle and its products or services by DFS.

You are solely responsible for any and all costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with your marketing of the Promotion.
