If Authorized Account intends to use the Products for any purpose other than Qualified Use and Resale, Authorized Account must notify both Distributor and Moroccanoil of that purpose in writing mailed separately to each. Authorized Account understands that Diversion damages Moroccanoil’s contractual relations with its distributors, consumers at large, and other Qualified customers.
- Moroccanoil’s goal is to prevent all diversion of Products it distributes. Authorized Account agrees it shall not divert any Products, shall not cause or permit the diversion of any Products, and shall take any and all actions requested by Moroccanoil or which a reasonable person would believe to be helpful to prevent or stop any Products it has received from being diverted.
- Authorized Account shall not sell or transfer any Products to any person or entity that does not at the time of sale or transfer qualify as bona fide customers of Authorized Account under this Agreement.
- Unless Moroccanoil has expressly authorized Authorized Account to engage mail shipping, Authorized Account shall not ship any Products by mail or any parcel carrier to consumers and customers. Authorized Account agrees that it will not sell to any buyer any quantity of any Products that is greater than the amount that such buyer could reasonably personally use.
- Moroccanoil may use any method to demonstrate that Authorized Account has been involved in diversion of Products, including, as examples and not as a limitation, evidence that Authorized Account sold excessive amounts of Products to a bona fide customer; evidence that Authorized Account has sold Products to a person who does not qualify as a bona fide customer; evidence that Authorized Account, which includes any of its employees or agents, knows that its customers have engaged or are engaging in diversion of Products; credible evidence from another professional hair products company that Authorized Account has diverted its products.
- Moroccanoil or Distributor, may terminate this Agreement if either received credible indication that Authorized Account has diverted any Products.
- Authorized Account understand that diversion constitutes a material breach that may subject Authorized Account to civil litigation.

- Authorized Account agrees that Moroccanoil will suffer substantial economic harm as a result of any breach of this Contract. The Parties further agree that Moroccanoil’s damages from Diversion are uncertain and will be difficult for Moroccanoil to determine. Authorized Account, therefore, agrees that it shall pay, in addition to, or in lieu of, other remedies available under this Agreement or under New York laws, Moroccanoil a sum of three times the retail price of each Product diverted in violation of this Contract in liquidated damages, and not as a penalty. The Parties agree that such amount represents a reasonable estimate as to the damages Moroccanoil will sustain in the event of Diversion. Each individual act of Diversion shall constitute a separate breach for purposes of determining the amount of liquidated damages.
- Authorized Account shall indemnify, defend and hold Moroccanoil, and its officers, directors, employees, members, agents and affiliates harmless from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees resulting from or arising out of any claim, suit, action, arbitration or proceeding brought by a third party against Moroccanoil relating to: (1) a breach or alleged breach by Authorized Account of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations hereunder or pursuant to any of its agreements; (2) infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights by Authorized Account; (3) any negligence or willful misconduct of Authorized Account or its representatives; or (4) any other claim related to Authorized Account's performance under this Agreement.
- Authorized Account shall take appropriate steps to ensure that each of its employees and independent contractors are aware of the requirements of this Agreement. Authorized Account waives any defense based upon the assertion or evidence that its employee(s), representative(s), or agent(s) did not know or were unaware of the requirements of this Contract.
- Termination.
- Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party breaches or otherwise fails to comply with any material provision of this Agreement and such breach or failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such breach or failure, provided, however, that if the breach is not reasonably capable of being cured, the non-breaching party may immediately terminate the agreement.

Upon termination, (i) Moroccanoil shall instruct Distributor to immediately stop providing Products to Authorized Account either directly or indirectly; (ii) Moroccanoil or Distributor shall each have the right to repurchase any Products sold to Authorized Account by Distributor that remain in Authorized Account’s inventory at the lowest price Authorized Account paid to Distributor for those Products; and (iii) Authorized Account shall immediately stop selling any Products unless otherwise permitted in writing by Moroccanoil.
- Assignment. Authorized Account may not assign, transfer, or convey this Agreement or any rights and obligations granted therein without Moroccanoil’s prior written consent which may be granted by Moroccanoil in its sole discretion.

Schedule 3
UNITED STATES MINIMUM ADVERTISED PRICE POLICY
Effective January 1st, 2021
Introduction:
Moroccanoil Inc. (“Moroccanoil”) recognizes that our Authorized Account Partners (“Accounts”) invest significant time and resources to deliver an extraordinary customer experience through their knowledgeable staff and compelling vendor presentation. To support our Accounts’ efforts and, Moroccanoil’s brand reputation within the target consumer population, we have unilaterally adopted this Minimum Advertised Price (“MAP”) Policy (the “Policy”), which applies to all Accounts of Moroccanoil Products in the United States. Moroccanoil is confident that this program will strengthen its reputation among customers and benefit all of its Accounts.
Official Policy and Guidelines:
- The MAP Policy is enforced by Moroccanoil in its sole discretion. Moroccanoil, unilaterally, reserves the right not to engage in business with any Account that is found to be violating this Policy.
- Moroccanoil maintains a list of those products that are governed by this MAP Policy (“MAP Products”). Moroccanoil reserves the right to update or modify this list at any time in its sole discretion.
- The MAP was established solely by Moroccanoil and is communicated to Accounts of Moroccanoil Products through a MAP Price Sheet (“Price Sheet”). The Price Sheet appears on the Moroccanoil Partners site, under the toolbox Merchandising (http://us.moroccanoilpartners.com/toolbox/merchandising). If Moroccanoil changes the MAP on any Product, it will provide notice to Accounts before such change takes effect.
- THIS POLICY DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN ANY ACCOUNT OR OTHER PARTY AND MOROCCANOIL. Each Account must exercise its own discretion and independently choose whether to comply with the terms of this Policy. Moroccanoil neither solicits nor will it accept any assurance of compliance with this Policy from any Account or other party. This Policy is not negotiable and will not be altered for any individual Account.
- It is a violation of this Policy to advertise any MAP Product at a price below the MAP listed in the Price Sheet.
- This Policy applies to all Advertisements of MAP Products. “Advertisement” includes, but is not limited to, any and all communications, announcements, information or publications generated, developed, produced or distributed related to or on behalf of Moroccanoil Products, in any format or media, including, by way of example only, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines catalogs, mail order catalogs, internet or similar electronic media including websites, forums, email newsletters, email solicitations, television, radio, and public signage. Such website features as “Click for price,” automated “bounce – back” pricing e-mails, pre-formatted e-mail responses, forms, automatic price display for any items prior to being placed in a customer’s shopping cart, and other similar features are considered to be communications initiated by the Account (rather than by the customer) and this constitutes “advertising” under this MAP Policy. This MAP Policy also applies to any activity which Moroccanoil determines, in its sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent, directly or indirectly, the intent of this MAP Policy, such as solicitations for ‘group purchases’ and the like.
- This Policy does not apply or affects in any way the actual prices that an Account may charge for Moroccanoil products. Accounts are free to sell Moroccanoil products at any price they choose. This Policy applies only to Accounts’ advertised prices, not selling prices.
- It is not a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise in general that the Account has “the lowest prices” or will match or beat its competitors’ prices, or to use similar phrases, so long as the Account does not include any advertised price below MAP.
- From time to time, Moroccanoil may permit Accounts to advertise MAP Products at prices lower than the MAP. In such events, Moroccanoil reserves the right to modify or suspend the MAP with respect to the affected products for a specified period of time by providing advance notice to all Accounts of such changes.
- 1 From time to time Moroccanoil may offer a direct manufacturer’s rebate to customers. In such events, it is not a violation of this MAP Policy to advertise the availability of the manufacturer’s rebate, provided that (a) the advertisement include a MAP-compliant price, the rebate amount, and the net price after manufacturer’s rebate in the same type size and style; (b) an asterisk is placed next to the net price after manufacturer’s rebate; and (c) the “*After manufacturer’s rebate” appears in the same area of the advertisement as the advertised product.
- It is a violation of this MAP Policy to include in any advertising for Moroccanoil Products any additional discount, coupon, gift card, or incentive (whether in the form of a special event, promotion, term of doing business or otherwise) that translates into an immediate price reduction, where the cumulative effect would be to reduce the advertised price of any MAP Product below MAP. Advertising that includes an additional discount, coupon, gift card, points, or any other incentive for future purchases (regardless of whether the future purchases is of a Moroccanoil product) shall be evaluated under the same guidelines as described in Section 7 regarding product bundling. This Section 11 does not apply to any manufacturer’s rebate from Moroccanoil on Moroccanoil Products or its partners’ products.

Schedule 4
LIMITED WARRANTY
Moroccanoil Inc. (“Moroccanoil”) expressly warrants that the Moroccanoil products it exclusively sells or permits authorized accounts to sell in the United States (collectively, the “Products”) will be free of material defects in manufacturing, material, or workmanship under normal use, consumption, subject to conditions contained in this limited warranty (the “Limited Warranty”). Moroccanoil does not warrant, and is not responsible for, any product other than Products sold by Moroccanoil, a qualified professional salon, spa, beauty supply store or independent stylist, select authorized retailers or online reseller, or from the official Moroccanoil website (an “Authorized Account”) who procured the Products from Moroccanoil and complied with Moroccanoil’s terms and conditions. This Limited Warranty will apply only to Products sold by Moroccanoil or an Authorized Account (that is contractually subject to and follows Moroccanoil’s quality controls) to a direct consumer of the Products (“Consumer”), unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
The Limited Warranty shall apply to each Product only if a valid receipt is provided as proof of purchase from an Authorized Account. This warranty does not cover any Moroccanoil products that were not originally purchased from an Authorized Account.
FOR STYLING TOOLS ONLY: in addition to providing the receipt, if the person claiming under the warranty is not the original purchaser, evidence of change of ownership of the Moroccanoil styling tool must be provided. If a Moroccanoil styling tool is bought from an Authorized Account and then sold to a third party, then the warranty transfers with the Moroccanoil styling tool, subject to appropriate evidence of the change of ownership. Moroccanoil warrants all of its styling tools against defects in materials and workmanship for two (2) years from original purchase date (“Warranty Period”). If we receive a valid claim during the Warranty Period, along with the documentation described in the preceding paragraph, we will repair the returned tool or (in our discretion) replace it with a product of equivalent value. Replacement products are warranted as above only for the remainder of the original applicable Warranty Period and the Warranty will continue to apply to the repaired or replaced styling tool only until the end of the original Warranty Period. This warranty DOES NOT COVER cosmetic damage including scratches or dents, or normal wear and tear including but not limited to: rusting, shorts in the power supply cord or plug, or excessive product buildup on the barrel or scratched or damaged barrel (in the case of styling irons), or damage due to accident, misuse or abuse such as: dropping (broken housing, broken hinges, loose barrel, rattling noise, etc.), wrong voltage supply (including use of the tool in a country other than where it was intended to be used), damage from external sources such as transport, electrical outages or power surges, damage or failure due to unpredictable circumstances or neglect in safety precautions or regular maintenance; use of styling tool for any purpose other than styling hair as set out in the tool manual, or any tampering or modification such as repair or attempted repair by unauthorized persons, or use of unauthorized attachments.
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
If a manufacturing, material or workmanship defect arises regarding any Product and a valid claim is received by Moroccanoil, Moroccanoil will, at its sole discretion: (1) refund the cost of the Product or (2) replace the Product with another Moroccanoil product that is the same or similar to the Product returned to Moroccanoil under this Limited Warranty.
Moroccanoil will make every effort to replace Moroccanoil limited edition or specialty Products or discontinued Products but cannot guarantee their availability for replacement. Any Moroccanoil limited edition or specialty Products or discontinued Products still under its applicable Limited Warranty that cannot be replaced with an identical product will be replaced with the equivalent or substantially similar product based on availability.
In the event of a defect, the remedies explicitly provided herein shall be the Consumer’s sole and exclusive remedies. This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original end-use Consumer, and will not be extended to any other person or transferee.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Except for the remedies expressly set forth above or to the extent restricted or prohibited by applicable law, the Consumer shall bear the risk as to the quality and performance of the Products, and the Consumer assumes the entire costs associated with the Products should the Products prove defective following their purchase.
In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing disclaimers, this Limited Warranty does not, under any circumstance, cover defects resulting from: normal wear and tear of the packaging, improper storage of the Products by the Consumer, or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Product once in the Consumer’s possession; cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents on packaging unless such failure has occurred due to a defect in manufacturing, materials or workmanship; improper or unreasonable use or maintenance; failure to follow use instructions; accident; excess moisture once in the Consumer’s possession ; insects; damage caused by accident once in the Consumer’s possession, abuse by the Consumer, misuse by the Consumer, fire, excessively hot temperature once in the Consumer’s possession, excessive cold temperature once in the Consumer’s possession, or other external cause; unauthorized alteration or modification of original condition; damages caused by inadequate packing or shipping procedures that are beyond the control of Moroccanoil or its Authorized Accounts; damages caused by use in combination with non- Moroccanoil products; and products purchased from any sellers other than Authorized Accounts that are not subject to Moroccanoil’s strict quality controls.
FOR CONSUMERS WHO ARE COVERED BY AN APPLICABLE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW OR REGULATION IN THEIR STATE, THE BENEFITS TO THE CONSUMER UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE IN ADDITION TO OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF CONSUMER UNDER SUCH LAWS OR REGULATIONS. SUCH BENEFITS MAY INCLUDE ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES OR RIGHTS RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT AND REMEDIES APPLICABLE IN THE EVENT OF A DEFECT. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY WILL BE INTERPRETED UNDER THE LAWS OR REGULATIONS THAT APPLY TO A CONSUMER IN ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND ANY PROVISION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY THAT CONFLICTS WITH ANY SUCH CONSUMER RIGHTS OR BENEFITS IS NOT APPLICABLE TO CONSUMERS COVERED BY SUCH LAW OR REGULATION. AS A RESULT, THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS SET OUT IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY MAY NOT APPLY, OR MAY NOT FULLY APPLY, TO A PARTICULAR CONSUMER.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, EACH PRODUCT IS PROVIDED SOLELY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND MOROCCANOIL MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MOROCCANOIL SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IF SUCH DISCLAIMER OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS NOT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DURATION OF SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD APPLICABLE TO THE PRODUCT AS SET FORTH ABOVE. SOME STATES MAY NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO A PARTICULAR CONSUMER. IF APPLICABLE LAW SPECIFIES A MINIMUM WARRANTY PERIOD THAT IS LONGER THAN THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, THEN THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO SUCH APPLICABLE LAW WILL BE CONFORMED TO THE MINIMUM PERIOD SO REQUIRED. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES THE CONSUMER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND THE CONSUMER MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND PROVINCE TO PROVINCE AND FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT, UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY, WILL MOROCCANOIL, ITS DISTRIBUTORS, SUPPLIERS, OR AUTHORIZED ACCOUNTS BE LIABLE TO CONSUMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE ANY PRODUCT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF VALUE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS THAT ARE USED IN OR WITH THE PRODUCT, OR LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS THAT ARE USED IN OR WITH THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF MOROCCANOIL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY DAMAGES THAT THE CONSUMER MIGHT INCUR FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL DAMAGES REFERENCED HEREIN AND ALL DIRECT OR GENERAL DAMAGES IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE), THE ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF MOROCCANOIL AND ANY OF ITS DISTRIBUTORS, SUPPLIERS, AND/OR AUTHORIZED ACCOUNTS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY CONSUMER FOR ANY PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
