Different terms and conditions apply for the online services for employees, job applicants and Coca‑Cola’s business customers and partners and for parts of Coca‑Cola’s corporate webpages.

Additional terms may apply to certain features of the Services, such as Apps or promotions,  terms of sale or use of text messaging services (“Additional Terms”).  All Additional Terms are part of (and incorporated by this reference into) these Terms.  When presented to you, you must agree to the Additional Terms before using the features of the Services to which they apply.  These Terms and the Additional Terms apply equally unless any part of the Additional Terms is irrevocably inconsistent with these Terms, in which case the Additional Terms will control but solely to the extent of the inconsistency.

Text Messaging Services
Some of the Services offer text messaging (SMS or MMS) services.  Once you opt-in to receive text messages from us, the frequency of text messages that we send to you depends on your transactions with us.  You may exit the text messaging services by sending the word STOP to the specific mobile code associated with the Services. MESSAGE AND DATA RATES MAY APPLY. All charges are billed by and payable to your wireless service provider.  Please contact your wireless service provider for pricing plans and details.  Text message services are provided on an “as is” basis and may not be available in all areas at all times.

BY AGREEING TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT COCA-COLA USES AN AUTOMATIC DIALING SYSTEM TO DELIVER TEXT MESSAGES TO YOU AND THAT YOUR CONSENT TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES IS NOT REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF PURCHASE FOR GOODS OR SERVICES.  

4. WILL COCA-COLA CHANGE THE SERVICES?

Coca‑Cola continually works to improve the Services.  Coca‑Cola may introduce new features and functionality that enhance the Services and were not previously part of the Services (“New Features”).  Coca‑Cola also may from time to may introduce updates, error corrections and other changes to the Services that enhance the functionality if user experience (“Updates”).  Coca‑Cola reserves the right to add or not add New Features or the right to make or not make Updates.   If New Features involve fees, Coca‑Cola will provide you with a choice about whether to use the New Features.  If Coca‑Cola makes Updates, you agree and authorize Coca‑Cola to implement Updates with or without notice to you.

Coca‑Cola may make New Feature available solely for you to try before they are generally available to the public.  When New Features are available for you to try before others have access to them, we refer to the New Features as “Trial Services”.  In consideration of your right to access Trial Services, you agree to provide feedback about the Trial Services as reasonably requested by Coca‑Cola.  Coca‑Cola reserves the right to modify Trial Services without notice until Trial Services are deemed part of the Services and to decide not to make Trial Services part of the Services.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE OTHER SECTIONS OF THESE TERMS ABOUT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU, TRIAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND THE COCA-COLA PARTIES (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 13) SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM YOUR CHOICE TO USE TRIAL SERVICES.  IF ANY EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRIAL SERVICES IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOLE LIABILITY OF THE COCA-COLA PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE TRIAL SERVICES IS YOUR DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE TRIAL SERVICES.

Nothing in this Section 4 limits Coca‑Cola’s right to restrict access to certain parts of the Services or discontinue the Services or any content that we provide through the Services at any time, without notice or liability to you.  We do our best to make sure that the Services are fully operational at all times, but Coca‑Cola is not liable to you if for any reason the Services are unavailable.  

5. WILL COCA-COLA CHANGE THESE TERMS?

The Effective Date of these Terms is set forth at the top of this webpage.

Coca‑Cola may need to modify these Terms to reflect Updates or New Features or changes to applicable law.  If Coca‑Cola makes material modifications to these Terms that reduce legal rights, we will post notifications in the Services and notify users by email using the email addresses in their accounts at least thirty (30) days in advance.  If you do not agree to the Terms as modified, then you must cancel your account and stop using the Services before the end of the notice period.  Continued use of the Services after the end of the notice period specified in the notification is deemed acceptance of the Terms as modified.

We will not make changes that materially and retroactively reduce your legal rights without notice unless we are legally required to do so or to protect the rights of other users of the Services.

The modified Terms supersede all previous versions of our agreements, notices or statements of or about these Terms.  

6. IS AN ACCOUNT REQUIRED?

You do not need to create an account to browse Coca‑Cola’s public websites, but you may need an account to take full advantage of the Services, such as to receive access to offers and other promotions or to use “member-only” parts of the Services.

To create an account, you will need to provide at least your email address. Coca‑Cola also may require that you provide your date of birth and place of residence as needed to verify that you are legally able to enter into a binding contract with Coca‑Cola or require your parent’s or legal guardian's agreement to these Terms on your behalf.

Coca‑Cola also may ask you to provide additional information, such as your name, telephone number,  preferences, opinions and other details about yourself that you choose to share as part of the account creation process.  To learn more about how we process the personal information that we collect from you when you create an account, please see the Coca‑Cola Consumer Privacy Policy (or any other privacy policy or notice to which you agreed when you created your account).

As such, the Services are not directed to or intended for use by children under age 13 (or the minimum age required by the laws in your country).

You agree that you will not create an account for anyone other than yourself, create an account with the intent to impersonate another person, or falsify any element of Coca‑Cola’s eligibility verification processes.  Coca‑Cola reserves the right to deny registration or to cancel or suspend an account at any time if we detect or suspect violation of these Terms.  You may not create an account if you were previously suspended or terminated from using the Services.

You promise that any information that you submit to Coca‑Cola is true, accurate and complete and you agree to keep it that way at all times.

If you are asked to choose a password when creating an account, your password is personal to you.  You agree not to provide any other person with your password, other security information or access to the Services.  Please use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer or sharing your device so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. You are responsible for all activities that occur using your password.

You agree to notify us immediately at https://www.coca-colacompany.com/contact-us if you detect or suspect unauthorized access to or use of your password, account or other breach of security.

10. DO ANY TERMS APPLY SPECIFICALLY TO USING THE APPS?

Except as expressly stated in this Section 10, these Terms apply to your download and use of our Apps.

Unlike a website, a mobile application is software that is downloaded to and installed on your mobile device.  Even though it is downloaded to your mobile device, the Apps are licensed – it is not sold to you.  You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Apps or any other right other than to use the Apps in accordance with and subject to these Terms.

You may download a single copy of an App to a mobile device owned or otherwise controlled by you solely for your own personal, non-commercial use.  To provide you with certain functionalities, certain of the Apps must access various functions and data on your mobile device.  For more information about how personal information is handled by the Apps, please review the Coca‑Cola Privacy Policy (or other privacy policy or notice made available to you when you downloaded an App).

The Apps and the rest of the Services may not have the exact same content.

We may from time to time develop and provide Updates (as defined in Section 4) to an App.  Based on your mobile device settings, when your mobile device is connected to the Internet either the App will automatically download and install all available Updates or you may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates.  You agree to download and install all Updates and acknowledge and agree that an App may not properly operate if you do not.  All Updates to an App are deemed part of the App and the Services and subject to these Terms.

Coca‑Cola reserves and retains the entire right, title and interest in and to the Apps, including all Coca‑Cola Marks (defined in Section 8) and, as between Coca‑Cola and you, all other copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto, except as expressly granted to you in these Terms.

When you download any of the Apps from Apple's App Store or Google Play (each, an App Platform), you acknowledge and agree that:

  • As between Coca‑Cola and the App Platform, Coca‑Cola is solely responsible for the Apps. 
  • The App Platform has no obligation to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. 
  • If our App fails to conform to any applicable warranty: (i) you may notify the App Platform and the App Platform may refund the purchase price for an App (if applicable), (ii) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Platform will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Apps, and (iii) other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty is, as between Coca‑Cola and the App Platform, Coca‑Cola’s responsibility. 
  • The App Platform is not responsible for addressing any claim you have relating to the Apps or your possession and use of the Apps. 
  • If a third party claims that an App infringes another party's intellectual property rights, as between the App Platform and Coca‑Cola, Coca‑Cola is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. 
  • The App Platform and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the applicable terms of use as they relate to your license to use an App. Upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of our terms of use, the App Platform will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the terms of use as related to your license of an App against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. 
  • You must also comply with all third-party terms applicable through the App Platform when using an App. 

To learn more about the specific data collected by any of the Apps, please check your mobile device settings or review the disclosures on the App Platform from which you downloaded the App.  To stop the collection of all data through an App, please uninstall it.

subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. 

11. WHEN DO THESE TERMS TAKE EFFECT?  WHEN DO THEY TERMINATE?

These Terms are effective when you acknowledge them as part of creating an account, downloading an App or using any of the Services in which these Terms are linked (subject to the exception noted in Section 2).  These Terms are in effect until terminated by you or Coca‑Cola.

You may stop using the Services at any time and for any reason.  If you want to delete your account, please contact Coca‑Cola using the contact information provided in Section 15 and/or uninstall any or all of the Apps.

If you want to correct or delete the personal information associated with your account, please see the “Your Choices” section of the Coca‑Cola Consumer Privacy Policy (or other privacy policy or notice provided or made available to you).

Coca‑Cola may terminate your account immediately and automatically without any notice if you violate any law applicable to use of the Services.  Coca‑Cola reserves the right to terminate an account and access to the Services with or without notice if Coca‑Cola has a reasonable basis to believe that a user is accessing or using the Services in violation of these Terms.

Coca‑Cola may suspend your access to the Services, cancel your account or terminate these Terms at any time without notice if we detect or suspect a breach of security or if Coca‑Cola ceases to offer or support any of the Services, which Coca‑Cola may do in its sole discretion.

We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your access to the Services so that you are able to retrieve any important user Information (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Coca‑Cola.

When these Terms terminate, the rights granted by Coca‑Cola terminate and you must cease all use of the Services and delete all copies of the Apps from your mobile device.

Any provision of these Terms that, by its nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination.  By way of example, all of the following provisions will survive termination: any limitation on our liability, terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, any obligation you have to pay us, and terms regarding disputes between us.  Termination does not and will not limit any of Coca‑Cola’s or your rights and remedies at law or in equity. 

12. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LINKED SERVICES?

The Services contains links to other websites and resources provided by third parties (including our marketing agency partners and social media platforms) and in advertisements (collectively, Linked Services).  Coca‑Cola cannot and does not control Linked Services even though some Linked Services allow you to export your information to them, such as “like” or “share” features on social media.  Please carefully review the privacy policies and other terms of use for all Linked Services.  If you decide to access any of the Linked Services, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the Linked Services and not these Terms. 

The Services may include third-party software that is offered generally available free of charge under open source or similar licenses (Third Party Software).  Although the Services provided to you are subject to these Terms, Third Party Software included in the Services may be subject to other licenses or usage terms, which will be presented to you as and when applicable. 

13. HOW IS COCA-COLA’S LIABILITY LIMITED UNDER THESE TERMS?

For U.S. Consumers:                                                                                                  Choice of Arbitrator and Rules. A Dispute must be submitted exclusively to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) to be heard under their Consumer Arbitration Rules. If for any reason, AAA is unable or unwilling to conduct the arbitration consistent with these terms, you and we will pick another arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S. Code § 5.

Mandatory (Individual) Arbitration. You agree that any Dispute between us shall be resolved exclusively in individual (non-class) arbitration. The parties intend to be bound to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. An arbitration means there will be no jury, and no judge.

Scope of Arbitration. The arbitrator shall exclusively determine all issues as to the Dispute, applying these Terms. The arbitrator shall also determine any question as to whether any Dispute or issue is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall not have the power to hear any Dispute as a class action, mass action, or representative action. The arbitrator shall not have any power to issue relief to anyone but you or us.

Exception to Arbitration (Small Claims Court). Disputes that can be fully resolved in small claims court need not be submitted to arbitration.

Choice of Venue (Fulton County, Georgia). You agree that any Disputes shall be heard exclusively in Fulton County, Georgia unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties or determined by the arbitrator. You consent to jurisdiction in the State of Georgia for all purposes.

Choice of Law (Georgia). These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, U.S.A., without regard to its choice of law provisions. However, any determination as to whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration, or as to the conduct of the arbitration, shall be governed exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

Remedies Available in Arbitration. The arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief or outcome that the parties could have received in court, including awards of attorney’s fees and costs, in accordance with the law(s) that applies to the case, except injunctive relief.

Injunctive Relief. The arbitrator may not issue any injunction. If either party in a Dispute seeks injunctive relief, the arbitrator will complete arbitration of the Dispute, issue an award of monetary compensation (if any), and then the party seeking injunctive relief may file a new action in state or federal court in Fulton County, Georgia, solely for injunctive relief. The findings of fact and conclusions of law of the arbitrator shall not be submitted as evidence or constitute precedent in this subsequent suit.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER                                                                                            Where permitted by applicable law and in the United States, Coca‑Cola and you each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.  We each waive any right to a jury trial.
