  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, this Section K (the “Arbitration Agreement”) shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be invalidated.

1. Informal Dispute Resolution.

In the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to the use of or any transaction conducted on the Site, or our services (each a “Dispute”), the party asserting the Dispute (as between you and JD Finish Line) will first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) (a “Dispute Notice”). A Dispute Notice must identify the claimant by name and be signed personally, and describe the claims, facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute in reasonable detail, including the specific relief requested. The party sending the Dispute Notice must allow the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute.

A Dispute Notice shall be sent to (as the case may be):

(1) JD Finish Line at The Finish Line, Inc. (d/b/a Finish Line and JD Sports), 3308 N. Mitthoeffer Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46235, Attn: General Counsel, or  

(2) you at your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your user or loyalty account (if you choose to create such an account).

Each of JD Finish Line and you agree that this dispute resolution procedure and good faith negotiations is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.

2. Arbitration; Small Claims Court Claims Exception.

To the extent a Dispute subject to the informal dispute resolution procedure described above cannot be resolved, but the condition precedent has been met, the Dispute shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration. With the exception of small claims court, and any claim or dispute regarding the interpretation and enforceability of the Arbitration Agreement (such as the issue of arbitrability), you and we agree to give up our rights to go to court with respect to any Dispute. You and JD Finish Line expressly delegate to the courts of competent jurisdiction the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would.

If either party files a court proceeding in violation of this provision (other than as expressly allowed herein), he/she/it agrees to be responsible to pay any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by the other party in enforcing these dispute resolution provisions.

You may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending a letter requesting arbitration to JD Finish Line at The Finish Line, Inc. (d/b/a Finish Line and JD Sports), 3308 N. Mitthoeffer Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46235, Attn: General Counsel. JD Finish Line may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending a letter requesting arbitration to you at your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your user account (if you choose to create such an account).

You and we agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM) pursuant to its applicable rules and fee schedule, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, and that there will only be one arbitrator, not a panel. In the event NAM is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of case management and arbitrator fees will be governed by NAM’s applicable rules; however, all filing and administrative fees will be paid by the initiating/filing party. JD Finish Line will reimburse all fees and costs if the arbitrator rules in your favor on any material aspect of your claim. JD Finish Line waives its right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration. However, if your claim is deemed by the arbitrator to be frivolous or brought in bad faith, then the arbitrator may award JD Finish Line the reimbursement of its costs and arbitration fees against you and/or your counsel. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. You further agree that if your arbitration claim is filed at or around the time of other similar claims by the same or related counsel, your claim may be temporarily stayed or phased to allow the NAM to establish efficient and fair adjudication procedures upon hearing from the parties.

All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration after an arbitrator has been appointed shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of this agreement, or the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

In lieu of arbitration, either you or JD Finish Line may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. Also, even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any claim later asserted by a party in any related or unrelated lawsuit. Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless a trial has begun, or a final judgment entered.

Notwithstanding this Arbitration Agreement, you or we may bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, including with respect to temporary restraining orders.

All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis unless all parties agree otherwise. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court. If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section M shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to the Agreement.

3. Waiver of Right to Bring Class Actions and Representative Claims.

YOU AND JD FINISH LINE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND IN SO DOING YOU AND JD FINISH LINE HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION (EITHER AS A NAMED-PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER).

4. 30-Day Right to Opt Out.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in this Section K by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address via certified mail: JD Finish Line at The Finish Line, Inc. (d/b/a Finish Line and JD Sports), 3308 N. Mitthoeffer Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46235, Attn: General Counsel. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the effective date of these Terms and upon notice to you, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those Sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, JD Finish Line also will not be bound by them.
