Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND 1-800 Contacts TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM 1-800 Contacts EXCEPT THAT (i) ANY DISPUTE FALLING WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL SCOPE AND AMOUNT OF AN APPROPRIATE SMALL CLAIMS COURT MAY BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND (ii) ANY DISPUTE TO SEEK TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

(a) Arbitration Agreement. You and 1-800 Contacts agree that all claims and disputes relating in any way to your use of the Site, information collected or provided by you to us through the Site, or to any products or services you use, purchase, or purchased through the Site, shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis. Arbitration is the referral of a claim or dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the claim or dispute and making a final binding determination to resolve it instead of having it decided by a judge or jury in court. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, TO SETTLE DISPUTES. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT AND ARE ADDRESSED BELOW.

(b) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND 1-800 Contacts WAIVE ANY RIGHT, INCLUDING ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION, YOU AND 1-800 Contacts ARE INSTEAD ELECTING TO HAVE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION.

(c) Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Commitment to Good-Faith Negotiations. Before either you or 1-800 Contacts may initiate an arbitration proceeding or any action in a judicial proceeding, you and 1-800 Contacts agree that each party will notify the other in writing of any claim or a dispute reasonably anticipated to lead to, or that will lead to, arbitration or a judicial proceeding, so that the parties can initially try to resolve the claim or dispute informally and individually. Notice by 1-800 Contacts will be sent to you at your last known street and email addresses on file, and notice by you to 1-800 Contacts must be sent by email to 1-800 Contacts at the following email address: legal@1800contacts.com. The notice of dispute must include your name, street address, telephone number, and email address on file with us, as well as a brief description of the claim or dispute that is specific and individual to you, the amount of money (if any) at issue, and the specific relief sought. The notice of dispute must also include the name, street address, telephone number, and email address of any attorney or law firm that represents you with respect to the claim or dispute. You and 1-800 Contacts then agree to negotiate personally, individually, and in good faith to try to resolve the claim or dispute. If and only if the parties cannot resolve the claim or dispute within sixty (60) days after the notice is received, then either party may, consistent with the Mass Case Filing Procedures set forth below, commence an arbitration proceeding with a written demand for arbitration. Any limitations period will be tolled from the date the dispute is noticed to the other side until the expiration of this sixty (60) day period. Compliance with this Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Commitment to Good-Faith Negotiations provision is a condition precedent and requirement for initiating any arbitration proceeding. If the sufficiency of a notice of dispute or compliance with this Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Commitment to Good-Faith Negotiations provision is disputed, that dispute may be decided by a court on an individual basis at either Party’s election, and any formal dispute resolution proceeding shall be stayed pending resolution of that dispute. A court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration and the collection of any fees associated therewith. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the Parties engage in this informal process.

(d) Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration of any dispute or claim subject to this Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”) and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and, as applicable, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as any such rules may be modified by this arbitration agreement and by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org/rules or by calling AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer arbitration consistent with this Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section, another arbitration provider shall be selected by the parties that will administer the arbitration consistent with it. If the parties cannot agree on a provider, one shall be selected by a court that will administer the arbitration consistent with this section. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, virtually, based on written submissions, or at an in person hearing in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. 1-800 Contacts reserves the right to request a hearing from the arbitrator. You agree to personally appear at any in-person hearing (along with your counsel if you are represented). An arbitrator must follow and enforce these Terms as a court would. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator shall apply the cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of an award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, except an award that has been satisfied may not be entered. An award shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding in which you are not a named party.

(e) No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND 1-800 Contacts AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS OR OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR ON BEHALF OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OR OTHER GROUP. UNLESS YOU AND 1-800 Contacts AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE, PROCEEDING. AN ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S) OR DISPUTE. ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER 1-800 Contacts’ USERS. IF, AFTER EXHAUSTION OF ALL APPEALS, ANY OF THESE PROHIBITIONS ON NON-INDIVIDUALIZED RELIEF AND CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS ARE FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THEN SUCH A CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF WILL BE DECIDED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, AFTER ALL OTHER CLAIMS AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF ARE ARBITRATED.

(f) Mass Case Filing Procedures. You and 1-800 Contacts agree that, in addition to other provisions of these Terms, these Mass Case Filing Procedures will apply to your claim or dispute subject to this Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section if your claim or dispute is part of a Mass Case Filing. A claim or dispute that is subject to this Mass Case Filing Procedures provision is called a “Dispute” for purposes of this provision. If 25 or more similar Disputes (including yours) are asserted against 1-800 Contacts by the same attorney or law firm, or by attorneys or law firms acting in concert or cooperation with each other (a “Mass Case Filing”), the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed and ultimately proceed in court. The parties agree that as part of these procedures, their counsel shall meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the Disputes, streamline procedures, address the exchange of information, and conserve the parties’ and the AAA’s resources. If your Dispute is part of a Mass Case Filing, any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled for your Dispute from the time that your claim or Dispute is first submitted to 1-800 Contacts until your Dispute is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration pursuant to this Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section.

  Stage One. If, within any 90-day period, at least 25 Disputes are submitted as part of a Mass Case Filing, counsel for the claimants and counsel for 1-800 Contacts will each select, in their sole discretion, 15 Disputes to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of the first stage of this process. The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed in Stage One can be increased or decreased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 25 Disputes, all shall proceed individually in Stage One). Each of the 25 cases shall proceed individually. No single arbitrator may be assigned to more than three cases in Stage One, and any arbitrator who hears more than one case must hear at least one case selected by each party. If a case is withdrawn from arbitration before an arbitration award is issued, another Dispute shall be selected by the party who selected the withdrawn case for inclusion and will proceed as a case as part of Stage One. The remaining Disputes, and any Disputes submitted thereafter, shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those Disputes, except as authorized in Stage Two, below. The parties shall use their best efforts to complete all Stage One arbitrations no later than 150 days after all of the initial 25 Disputes to be arbitrated in Stage One are assigned to arbitrators. After arbitrations of the first 25 Disputes are completed, the parties’ counsel will participate in a global mediation session, with a mediator jointly selected by counsel, to try to resolve all the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stage One). 1-800 Contacts will pay the mediator’s fee for the global mediation.

  Stage Two. If, following the completion of Stage One, any remaining Disputes (including any additional Disputes asserted at any time between the commencement of Stage One and the commencement of Stage Two) are unresolved, counsel for the claimants and counsel for 1-800 Contacts will each select, in their sole discretion, 15 Disputes per side to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process. The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed as part of this second staged process can be increased or decreased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 25 Disputes remaining, all remaining Disputes will proceed individually in Stage Two). No more than four cases may be assigned to a single arbitrator to proceed individually in Stage Two, and any arbitrator who hears more than one case must hear at least one case selected by each party. If a case is withdrawn from arbitration before an arbitration award is issued, another Dispute shall be selected by the party who selected the withdrawn case for inclusion and will proceed as a case as part of Stage Two. Any remaining Disputes (including any additional Disputes asserted after the Disputes in Stage Two have been selected) shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those Disputes, except as authorized in Further Stages, below. The parties shall use their best efforts to complete all Stage Two arbitrations no later than 150 days after all the Disputes to be arbitrated in Stage Two are assigned to arbitrators. After this second set of staged proceedings, the parties shall engage in a second global mediation session of all remaining Disputes with a mediator jointly selected by counsel in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stage One and Stage Two), and 1-800 Contacts shall pay the mediator’s fee for the global mediation. Upon the completion of the mediation set forth in Stage Two, each remaining Dispute (if any) that is not settled or not withdrawn shall be opted out of arbitration and may proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms.

  Further Stages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for the parties may, in their sole discretion, mutually agree in writing to proceed with the adjudication of some or all of the remaining Disputes in individual arbitrations consistent with the process set forth in Stage Two (except mediation shall be elective by agreement of counsel) or through another process to which the parties mutually agree in writing. Nothing in this provision should be construed to create any obligation on any party to agree to any further adjudications in arbitration following the completion of Stage Two.

  Time and Fee Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that your Dispute has not been assigned to an arbitrator or released from arbitration within eighteen (18) months of the date your Dispute was first submitted to 1-800 Contacts, you may, upon written notice to 1-800 Contacts, elect to opt out of arbitration and proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms. Notwithstanding any other provision or section of these Terms, with respect to a single Mass Case Filing, if at any time and for any reason the total arbitration fees the parties would otherwise be required to pay to file Disputes to proceed as cases in arbitration equal or exceed $150,000.00, then 1-800 Contacts may, upon written notice to you, elect to opt out of arbitration, upon which this Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall no longer apply to the Disputes of that Mass Case Filing, and the Disputes of that Mass Case Filing must instead be brought, if at all, in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms.

  Enforcement. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this Mass Case Filing Procedures provision, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees for any filings that are not made in strict compliance with the Mass Case Filing Procedures.

  Severability. This Mass Case Filing Procedures provision and each of its requirements are essential parts of this Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the Mass Case Filing Procedures provision applies to your Dispute and is unenforceable, unconscionable, invalid, void, or voidable, then your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms.

(g) Arbitration and Other Fees and Costs. Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and fee schedule. However, you agree that 1-800 Contacts will have no obligation to pay any AAA fees in connection with any arbitration filed in violation of these Terms, and specifically the Mass Case Filing Procedures set forth herein. You and we agree that the parties have a common interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, you or 1-800 Contacts may elect to engage with the AAA regarding arbitration fees, and you and 1-800 Contacts agree that the parties (and counsel, if applicable) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorney’s fees and costs in arbitration, unless an award of attorney’s fees or costs is authorized by law or the arbitrator determines that a claim or proceeding was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith. If the arbitrator determines that a claim or dispute was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith, the party that brought that claim or dispute will reimburse the other party for any amounts paid for the arbitration of that claim or dispute.

(h) Survival Severability of this Section. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination or cancellation of your use of the Site, information collected or provided by you to 1-800 Contacts on or through the Site, any products or services you use or purchase, or are used or purchased, through the Site, and your relationship with 1-800 Contacts. Any amendments Dispute Resolution by Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall not affect any then-active or pending arbitration proceeding.
