Product Champions Program Terms & Conditions

These Product Champions Program Terms & Conditions (these "Terms and Conditions") govern your participation in Kohl's Product Champions Program (the "Program"), including your use of its dedicated website (productchampions.kohls.com) (the "Program Site"). The Program offers invited customers ("Product Champions") access to certain products listed on the Program Site (the "Product Champions Products") at no cost in order to encourage independent customer reviews on kohls.com and Kohl's affiliated websites, to provide customer feedback to product suppliers, and to further publicize certain products. Only one individual from an immediate household may participate in the Program as a Product Champion at any given time. Your participation in the Program and use of the Program Site is subject to these Terms and Conditions and constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. The Program is operated by Kohl's, Inc. ("Kohl's"). Employees, members of their households and immediate families of Kohl's or its affiliates are not eligible to participate in the Product Champions Program.

These Terms and Conditions incorporate Kohl's Privacy Policy, User Content Terms & Conditions, Product Champions Review Writing Guidelines (available on the Program Site), and Kohl's Legal Notices (collectively, the "Kohl's Terms and Conditions"), as may be updated from time to time. All Kohl's Terms and Conditions apply to all Product Champion-related communications and to your participation in the Program. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and any term in the Kohl's Terms and Conditions these Terms and Conditions shall take precedence only with respect to your participation in the Program.

KOHL'S FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY OR DAMAGE FOR ANY THEFT OR LOSS OF, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR DAMAGE TO, OR INTERCEPTION OF ANY DATA OR COMMUNICATIONS SENT TO, FROM OR STORED ON THE PRODUCT SITE.

YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY ATTEMPT TO RETURN, REPLACE OR OBTAIN A REFUND FOR A PRODUCT CHAMPION PRODUCT IS PROHIBITED AND ANY SUCH ATTEMPT WILL RESULT IN YOUR DISMISSAL FROM THE PROGRAM, IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO KOHL'S BY LAW OR EQUITY.

Your ongoing right to participate in the Program and your eligibility to receive Product Champions Products is at Kohl's sole discretion.

In consideration of the opportunity to participate in the Product Champions Program, you agree that you:

  - If you received a free Product Champions Product and you thought it was terrible, you can’t say it’s terrific.
