Werther’s Original® Helps Fans Kick Off Cozy Season Early with Limited-Edition Werther’s Original Cozy Cooling Scarf

For fall fanatics, the first signs of the season rarely come from the forecast. The candles come out, football returns, fall flavors hit menus and the countdown to sweater weather begins, often while temperatures still feel firmly stuck in summer. With its iconic caramel flavor and the warmth, comfort and nostalgia it brings, Werther's Original® has long been a natural part of those cozy fall moments. So this year, the brand is giving fans permission to stop waiting for the weather and kick off fall on their own schedule with the limited-edition Werther's Original Cozy Cooling Scarf.

Werther’s Original Cozy Cooling Scarf. Sunglasses and hat are not included.

Designed for anyone mentally ready for the "-ber" months before the forecast cooperates, the woven scarf features a hidden cooling pouch at the neck to help take the edge off lingering summer heat. And since it would not be fall without Werther's Original smooth, indulgent caramels, it also includes a zip pocket perfectly sized for Werther's Original caramel candies.

"Fall fans don't wait for a date on the calendar to start craving everything that makes the season special," said Georgia Healey, VP of marketing at Storck USA, L.P. "Werther's Original has always been about warmth, comfort and moments of sweet indulgence, which makes fall a natural fit for us. The Cozy Cooling Scarf is our playful way of helping fellow fall lovers embrace that feeling whenever they're ready, even if the thermometer says otherwise."

Whether it's the lighting of the first fall candle in August, decorating with leaves before Labor Day or ordering a seasonal coffee while the air conditioning is still running, Werther's Original Cozy Cooling Scarf is made for anyone who believes cozy season starts when you say it does.

And Werther's is putting the scarves directly into the hands of people who take fall just as seriously as the brand. From August 25–31, Werther's Original is teaming up with some of the internet's biggest fall fanatics—Chasitey Pounds (@chasiteyy), Chelsea Sawick (@chelseasawick) and Lauren Wildman (@thecozykansan)—to kick off cozy season early and give fellow fall lovers the chance to get their hands on a limited-edition scarf of their own.

Each creator will put their own spin on getting into the fall mindset early, sharing the rituals that signal cozy season has officially arrived for them. Followers can enter through each creator's individual giveaway for a chance to snag a Cozy Cooling Scarf while supplies last.

From the classic hard caramels and soft caramels to the limited-time fall staple Harvest Caramel line, Werther's Original caramel candies are made with fresh butter and real cream to create the perfect combination of smooth and indulgent. Werther's Original products are available at retailers nationwide. Availability and pricing may vary by retailer and location. For more information, visit @werthersoriginalus on Instagram.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION/BINDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE: YOU AND SPONSOR BOTH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS THAT IN ANY WAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES OR FROM ANY SERVICES YOU RECEIVE FROM SPONSOR (OR FROM ANY ADVERTISING FOR ANY SUCH SERVICES), INCLUDING ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND SPONSOR’S EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTE(S)”), ONLY BY ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES, ARBITRATION WILL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MEANS OF RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US. YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES, YOU AND SPONSOR ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN COURT OR IN FRONT OF A JURY, AND THAT YOU AND SPONSOR ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO PROCEED WITH ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Sponsor and Entrant both agree that:

Notice of Dispute. If either you or Sponsor intends to arbitrate under these Official Rules, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the Dispute in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of initiating the arbitration. Notice to Sponsor should be sent to Sponsor either by mail to 325 N. LaSalle, Suite 400, Chicago, IL 60654 or email at . Notice to you will be to your email address(es) and street address(es), if any, that Sponsor has in its records at the time the notice is sent. The notice must describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days, either party may then file a claim for arbitration.

Arbitration Procedure. The Federal Arbitration Act applies to these Official Rules. Any and all Disputes will be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which will apply the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions). You can get additional information from the AAA (www.adr.org). These Official Rules govern to the extent they conflict with the AAA’s Rules.

Arbitration Location. Unless you and Sponsor agree otherwise, the arbitration must take place in Cook County, IL.

Arbitration Fees and Expenses. Sponsor will reimburse any filing fee that the AAA charges you for arbitration of the Dispute. If you provide us with signed written notice that you cannot pay the filing fee, we will pay the fee directly to the AAA. If the arbitration proceeds, we will also pay any administrative and arbitrator fees charged later.

Severability. If any part of this agreement to arbitrate is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the court will reform the agreement to the extent necessary to cure the unenforceable part(s), and the parties will arbitrate their Dispute(s) without reference to or reliance upon the unenforceable part(s). However, if for any reason the Class Action Waiver set forth below cannot be enforced as to some or all of the Dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that Dispute or portion thereof, but the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate will be binding and enforceable. The parties do not agree to class arbitration or to the arbitration of any claims brought on behalf of others.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THESE OFFICIAL RULES DO NOT ALLOW CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATIONS, EVEN IF THE AAA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE OFFICIAL RULES, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. ARBITRATION OR COURT PROCEEDINGS HELD UNDER THESE OFFICIAL RULES CANNOT BE BROUGHT, MAINTAINED OR RESOLVED ON BEHALF OF OR BY A CLASS, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. IN ADDITION, INDIVIDUAL PROCEEDINGS CANNOT BE COMBINED WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL OF THE PARTIES. ANY QUESTION REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OR INTERPRETATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE DECIDED BY A COURT AND NOT THE ARBITRATOR.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER. IF, FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND SPONSOR UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Each Entrant must be the rightful owner of the email address used to enter the Sweepstakes and/or or have authorized use of the email account associated with the Entrant’s submitted email address (if provided). If a dispute arises about who submitted an Entry, the Entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email account provided. The “authorized account holder” is deemed the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, service provider, or other online organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. A potential Winner may be requested to provide Sponsor with proof that the potential Winner is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the winning Entry and that all eligibility requirements are met.

Privacy Policy: Personal information collected from Entrants, which includes, but is not limited to, name, email address, and Instagram handle, will be collected by Sponsor, Administrator and Influencer(s) for the purposes of administering the Sweepstakes, fulfilling the Prize, and for other purposes, including Sponsor using such personal information for marketing purposes. Information submitted with an Entry is subject to the Privacy Policy stated on the Storck USA, L.P. website. To read the Privacy Policy, click here. 

Winners List: To request a copy of the Winners list please contact the Administrator. Requests must be dated and sent to the Administrator within four (4) weeks of the end of the Entry Period.

You understand that you are providing your information to the owner of the Sweepstakes and not to Facebook, Meta, Instagram, Threads, or any other social networks.
