Scope of the Arbitration Agreement.

Unless you and Bootbarn.com agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall take place in the county of your residence (as determined by your billing address on file with Bootbarn.com). If you live outside the United States, any arbitration will take place in the USA. Except for claims determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous, Bootbarn.com will pay all filing, administrative, arbitrator and hearing costs and waives any rights it may have to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses against you.

Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims.

Any arbitration shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and Bootbarn.com also agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and Bootbarn.com hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in any class action lawsuit or class action arbitration, any private attorney general lawsuit or private attorney general arbitration, and any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind.

Governing Law and Other Terms.

This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law.

Only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, the parties agree that any issue concerning the validity of the class/representative action waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of the waiver.
