These Terms and Conditions apply to all users of the Site, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/or contributors of content. Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using our Site. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then you may not access the Site or use any Services. If these Terms are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms.

Should any Vedder Holsters' product become worn, loose, broken, defective or ill-fitting, or if in your opinion is unsafe, cease use immediately.

21.DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Binding Arbitration

If you and Vedder Holsters cannot resolve a dispute or other Claim through negotiations, the dispute or Claim shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. This arbitration agreement is reciprocal, and any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s). The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.

The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted through JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) under the Streamlined Rules, as modified by this agreement to arbitrate. All remedies available to the parties under applicable federal, state, or local laws shall remain available in arbitration. The parties shall each participate in the selection of a neutral arbitrator pursuant to the Streamlined Rules. Unless you and Vedder Holsters agree otherwise in writing, the final arbitration hearing shall take place in person at the JAMS facility located in or nearest to your city of residence. If you initiate arbitration against Vedder Holsters, you will be required to pay an initial fee of $250 (unless you qualify for a waiver), and all other arbitration costs (including any remaining JAMS Case Management Fee and all professional fees for the arbitrator's services) shall be paid as determined by the arbitrator. If Vedder Holsters initiates arbitration against you, Vedder Holsters shall pay all costs associated with the arbitration. If JAMS is unavailable to arbitrate a dispute or claim, you and Vedder Holsters agree to arbitrate using an alternative arbitral forum. Regardless of the outcome of the arbitration, you and Vedder Holsters will each pay your own attorneys' fees and costs unless an award of attorneys' fees is available under applicable statute. The arbitrator's award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each Claim. The award will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Either party may litigate to compel arbitration in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

You acknowledge that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial.

Class-Action Waiver

Any arbitration claims or other proceeding by or between you and us shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in any class action, mass action, or on a consolidated or representative basis. You further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief or to combine or aggregate similar claims or unrelated transactions. You acknowledge and agree that this agreement specifically prohibits you from commencing arbitration proceedings as a representative of others. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

Governing Law and Location

This Agreement, including without limitation this Agreement’s interpretation, shall be treated as though this Agreement were executed and performed in Florida, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. By visiting the Site, you agree that, except as otherwise specified herein, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern any dispute of any sort that might arise between us or any of our affiliates regarding your visit and use of the Site.

Remedies in Aid of Arbitration; Equitable Relief

This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or Vedder Holsters from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration, or confirm an arbitral award, from a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or Vedder Holsters from applying to a Court of Competent Jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. "Court of Competent Jurisdiction" means any federal or state court: (1) that has jurisdiction over the subject matter; and (2) that is located in the State of Florida.

22.NOTICES

In General

All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing. Vedder Holsters shall give any notice by email sent to the most recent email address, if any, provided by the intended recipient to Vedder Holsters. You agree that any notice received from Vedder Holsters electronically satisfies any legal requirement that such notice be in writing. You bear the sole responsibility of ensuring that your email address on file with Vedder Holsters is accurate and current and notice to you shall be deemed effective upon the sending by Vedder Holsters of an email to that address. You shall give any notice to Vedder Holsters by submitting said notice to us at contact@vedderholsters.com.

Notice of Dispute

We and you agree that in the event of any dispute, the party wishing to address the dispute must contact the other party in writing, including by e-mail, and advise the other party of the dispute in reasonable detail as well as informing the other party of the remedy being sought. We may send you notices via the email address or physical address you provide to us, and all notices to us shall be sent to the following email address: contact@vedderholsters.com and include the words “DISPUTE NOTICE” in the subject. The parties shall then make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution. In the event that the dispute is not resolved through this procedure, the party raising the dispute may proceed to mandatory arbitration.

23.INDEMNIFICATION

Without limiting any indemnification provision of this Agreement, you (the “Indemnitor”) agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Vedder Holsters, its officers, directors, employees, agents and third parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, causes of action, and other proceedings (individually, “Claim”, and collectively, “Claims”), including but not limited to any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to or arising out of your use of or inability to use the Site or Services, your misuse of any information posted on the Site, any user postings made by you, your violation of any terms of this Agreement or your violation of any rights of a third party, or your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

The Indemnitees each have the individual right, but not the obligation, to participate through counsel of their choice in any defense by you of any Claim as to which you are required to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless any, each, and/or all Indemnitees. You may not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the concerned Company Parties.

Partial Invalidity

Should any part of this Agreement be declared invalid, void, or unenforceable by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties acknowledge and agree that they would have executed the remaining portion without including the part so declared by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable.

Amendments

This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of Vedder Holsters, or by the unilateral amendment of this Agreement by Vedder Holsters along with the posting by Vedder Holsters of that amended version.

No Waiver

A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement, or any breach, in any one instance, will not waive that term or condition or any later breach.

There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement, with the following exceptions: Company Parties, Indemnitees, and Vedder Holsters’ licensors and suppliers (to the extent expressly stated in this Agreement).

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge and agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or infringement of proprietary or other third-party rights by you would cause irreparable injury to Vedder Holsters and its licensors and suppliers and would therefore entitle Vedder Holsters or its licensors or suppliers, as the case may be, to injunctive relief.
