IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE ANY APPLICATIONS OR WEBSITES OF ZEP SHOES LLC.

Arbitration Agreement. By using this Web site (“Website”) you agree that all claims relating to your access or use of this Website, including all disputes arising out of, or related to, any products or services purchased from Futoli (“Futoli, us ,we” or “our”) through Futoli, we will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of either the American Arbitration Association or the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services; provided that, this Arbitration agreement does not extend to claims for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights for which either party can bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s or JAM’ applicable rules. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you may send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Futoli Shoes, Deputy General Counsel. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, base on written submission or in person in the United States in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.

The Arbitrator will be appointed in accordance with the AAA or JAMs rules. The arbitrator will have full power and authority to determine issues of arbitrability and to interpret or construe the applicable provisions of these Terms of Use and to fashion appropriate remedies for breaches thereof, including injunctive, declaratory, or statutory relief; provided that the arbitrator will not have any right or authority: (i) in excess of the authority a court having jurisdiction over the dispute would have absent this arbitration agreement; or to modify these Terms of Use. Futoli agrees the reimburse your reasonable attorney fees and cost for claims totaling less than ten-thousand dollars ($10,000) and agrees not to seek attorneys fees or costs for you unless the arbitrator finds your claims to be frivolous or to have been brought in bad faith. In determining whether a claim is frivolous, the arbitrator may consider whether we have offered full relief to you in relation to your individual claim, including but not limited to a full refund of the sum you paid for goods you purchased from us.

This arbitration agreement does not apply to Commercial Entities (defined below) that use this Website in violation of these Terms of Use or who undertake any act that violates these Terms of Use.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS THE PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS AGREEMENT ALSO PREVENTS YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN AN EXISTING CLASS ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY OTHER PARTY. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE VOID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THE DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION.
