- Notice of Financial Incentives
- Sponsors offers the MySimilac® Rewards Program. Generally speaking, Program participants will be eligible to receive coupons, promotions, offers and/or other benefits (including, but not limited to, benefits associated with the accumulation of points for engagement activities identified by us) that we extend to Program customers (included in the definition of "Program Benefits"). In exchange for receiving Program Benefits, Sponsor uses the following types of personal information for eligible coupons, promotions, offers, and communications: Name, Email Address, Mailing Address, Baby’s Birthday/Due Date, and Phone Number.
- Sponsor benefits financially from the Program through increased customer loyalty and sales, but we do not assign an independent monetary value to the personal information we collect in connection with the Program. Further, the precise value of your membership in the Program can vary greatly by individual and depends on (without limitation): (a) the number of dollars spent, and points accumulated, (b) any rewards redeemed or benefits received, (c) whether someone is a regular or occasional customer of Sponsor, and (d) whether participants elect to collect points for product purchases. Some benefits to participants may also be intangible, such as the ability to streamline the ordering and/or payment process.
- In general, however, Sponsor estimates in good faith that the value of the personal information that Sponsor collects through the Program would be less than the value that the Program provides to consumers. To the extent Sponsor calculates the value of the personal information it collects through the Program, it does so in good faith based on the expenses related to the collection and retention of personal information in connection with the Program.
- By providing your personal information when signing-up for the Program, you are affirmatively opting-in to our financial incentive program.
If you wish to withdraw from receiving mailings or other communications through the Program, you may submit such a request by going https://www.similac.com/unsubscribe.html or by calling 1-800-232-7677. Please mention the name of the Program.

Cross-examination of witnesses shall occur immediately after their direct testimony, and cross-examination time shall be charged against the party conducting the cross-examination.
- The party initiating the ADR shall begin the hearing and, if it chooses to make an opening statement, shall address not only issues it raised but also any issues raised by the responding party.

Thereafter, the presentation of regular and rebuttal testimony and documents, other evidence, and closing arguments shall proceed in the same sequence.
- Except when testifying, witnesses shall be excluded from the hearing until closing arguments.

- Within seven (7) days following completion of the hearing, each party may submit to the other party and the neutral(s) a post-hearing brief in support of its proposed rulings and remedies, provided that such brief shall not contain or discuss any new evidence and shall not exceed ten (10) pages. This page limitation shall apply regardless of the number of issues raised in the ADR proceeding.
- The neutral(s) shall rule on each disputed issue within fourteen (14) days following completion of the hearing.

The neutral(s) shall not issue any written opinion or otherwise explain the basis of the ruling.
The neutral(s) shall be paid a reasonable fee plus expenses. These fees and expenses, along with the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows:
- If the neutral(s) rule(s) in favor of one party on all disputed issues in the ADR, the losing party shall pay 100% of such fees and expenses.
- If the neutral(s) rule(s) in favor of one party on some issues and the other party on other issues, the neutral(s) shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the parties. The neutral(s) shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the ADR, with the party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses.
- The rulings of the neutral(s) and the allocation of fees and expenses shall be binding, non-reviewable, and non-appealable, and may be entered as a final judgment in any court having jurisdiction.
- Except as provided in section(i) or as required by law, the existence of the dispute, any settlement negotiations, the ADR hearing, any submissions (including exhibits, testimony, proposed rulings, and briefs), and the rulings shall be deemed confidential information.

- These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Program participants and Sponsor pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or other arrangements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written.
