a) COOLS Promotions terms and conditions (“COOLS Promotion Rules”)

COOLS Promotion Rules apply to all COOLS promotions. Each COOLS promotion will also have specific terms and conditions. The specific terms and conditions for current COOLS promotions will be displayed in this section and/or in any communication you may receive informing you of the promotion (usually email). If there is a conflict between these COOLS Promotion Rules and the specific promotion terms, the specific promotion terms will prevail. 

The Rules displayed on the COOLS sites shall apply to all COOLS promotions.

COOLS promotions are an arrangement between you and COOLS, and not between you and the Retailer Partner. As such, any discount will not be reflected in communications you may receive from the Retailer Partner regarding the order. COOLS promotional codes have no cash value, cannot be transferred, forwarded or reassigned and cannot be redeemed for cash. COOLS promotional codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

COOLS promotions are not valid for purchases made from Macy’s or Bloomingdale’s.

COOLS reserves the right to suspend, change or cancel any promotion, at any time, at our discretion. COOLS may update these COOLS Promotion Rules from time to time and reserves the right to add to them as and where necessary. You should review these COOLS Promotion Rules periodically for changes.

b) Cools Rules regarding Cools Retailer Promotions (“Cools Retailer Promotion Rules”)

Cools Retailers occasionally hold special offers or contests (“Retailer Promotions”), which COOLS may also make available to users of Cools’ Tools, including by providing related promotional codes. The specific terms and conditions applicable to any Retailer Promotions should be set out on the relevant Cools Retailer’s website. If you are using Cools’ Tools and you wish to participate in any Retailer Promotion, you are advised to read those terms and conditions carefully. You will be deemed to have done so and to have understood and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of any Retailer Promotion in which you participate or for which you use the relevant promotional code.

If COOLS has identified any Retailer Promotion on Cools’ Tools as being a ‘limited time offer’ or ‘ending soon’, it means that the applicable Retailer Promotion will expire in 6 days or less. Cools Retailers will provide any expiry information and COOLS will endeavour to ensure that such information is correct and current, however, to be certain, you must consult and rely solely upon the relevant Cools Retailer’s website for the applicable terms and conditions and complete details on any specific Retailer Promotion.

If you are using a promotional code obtained on Cools’ Tools to make a purchase on a Cools Retailer’s website, the code must be correctly entered at checkout in order for any discount to be applied.

13. No Waiver

No delay or failure by COOLS to exercise or enforce any provision of Cools’ Rules or any right arising hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be deemed a waiver of such provision or of such right, nor shall any express waiver of any right or provision from time to time preclude COOLS from exercising or enforcing such right or provision at a later time.

In the event that any provision of these Rules is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Rules will remain in full force and effect.

14. Severability

Should any provision of Cools’ Rules be held invalid or unenforceable by any court or other competent authority in any jurisdiction, such invalidity will not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining provisions or of Cools’ Rules as a whole in such jurisdiction, which provisions shall remain fully operative, nor the validity or effectiveness of such provision – or of Cools’ Rules as a whole – in any other jurisdiction.

In such event, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall, to the extent possible, be interpreted so as to most closely reflect the objective of such provision without rendering it unenforceable, or if that is not possible, severed and replaced with another provision which achieves the parties’ objectives as much as possible within the limits of applicable laws or jurisprudence.
