Disputes and Arbitration Agreement

Informal Dispute Resolution

You and we agree to work together in an effort to resolve any dispute or claim between us relating to these Terms of Use, your account, purchases, or our products (“Dispute”). The party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to:

  1. JanSport, A Division of VF Outdoor, LLC at ATTN:  General Counsel, 1551 Wewatta Street, Denver, CO 90202
  2. You, at your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.

Both you and we agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.

Arbitration Agreement

To the extent you and we cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, any Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you or we may assert individual claims in small claims court if the claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual basis.  You and we agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under these Terms of Use and with respect to any Dispute. This also includes any dispute or claim that arose before you accepted these Terms of Use, regardless of whether prior versions of the Terms of Use required arbitration.  You and we expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, WE BOTH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules, including rules related to multiple or mass case filings, except as provided in this section. You agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) and, if appropriate, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules (“Supplementary Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules and Supplementary Rules, are available on the AAA’s website.  In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to h

ear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. If you initiate an arbitration against JanSport, you will be responsible for the nonrefundable individual’s initial filing fee. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the filing fee to file the case in a court of competent jurisdiction embracing the location of the arbitration, the arbitrator may require JanSport to reimburse you for the excess amount you paid to AAA. If the arbitrator finds that AAA’s filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees would be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, the arbitrator may require JanSport to reimburse as much of the filing, administration, hearing, and/or arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive to you. In the even the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, groundless, or brought or continued in bad faith, you agree to reimburse JanSport for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by us on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA Rules. 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, you agree that your claim may be temporarily stayed or phased to allow the AAA to establish efficient and fair adjudication procedures.

The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may, in the arbitrator’s discretion and to the extent authorized by applicable law, include in the award rendered by the arbitrator costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs, including costs for expert and other witnesses, to the prevailing party, and the arbitrator shall include in such analysis whether any claims made in the arbitration were frivolous or were brought or continued in bad faith.

Waiver of Right to Bring Class Actions and Representative Claims

ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court. However, to the extent permissible by applicable law, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or JanSport’s respective individual capacities and in so doing you and we hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If it is decided that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must proceed in court and be severed from any arbitration.

Mass Arbitration and Bellwether Protocols.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, to increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 25 or more arbitration demands of a similar nature are filed within 180 days of an arbitration demand filed on your or JanSport’s behalf, and your claim or defense is presented by or with the assistance or involvement of the same law firm, organization, or collection of law firms as is involved in the other arbitrations of a similar nature, the parties agree that this will constitute a “Mass Arbitration.”

If the parties disagree about whether a Mass Arbitration has been instituted, either party may request that the arbitration provider determine that a Mass Arbitration has been instituted and that the procedures below are applicable.  For purposes of making this determination, the parties agree that arbitration demands are of a “similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to a similar factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. 

From the date of agreement that a Mass Arbitration has been filed, or if the arbitration provider determines that a Mass Arbitration has been filed, either party may opt-out of arbitration within thirty (30) days of the determination.  You may opt out of arbitration by providing written notice of your intention to opt out to the arbitration provider and to us.  We may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice of its intention to opt out to the arbitration provider and to you or your attorney, agent, or representative if you are represented.

If the parties proceed with the Mass Arbitration, they agree that the following terms and procedures shall apply.

First, the parties agree to the following bellwether protocols intended to reach a fair and speedy resolution of all claims in the Mass Arbitration.  The arbitration provider shall randomly select four (4) demands for arbitration to proceed, and then claimants and respondents shall each select three (3) demands for arbitration to proceed, for a total of ten (10) arbitrations (“Bellwether Arbitrations”).  While the Bellwether Arbitrations are adjudicated, all remaining demands for arbitration comprising the Mass Arbitration shall be held in abeyance and stayed, and no party shall be responsible for paying any additional administration or arbitrator fees (other than initial filing/administrative fees for the Bellwether Arbitrations and the abeyance fees) while the Bellwether Arbitrations are adjudicated. Any applicable statute of limitations regarding those demands shall be tolled beginning from the date of determination there is a Mass Arbitration.  The parties agree that these bellwether procedures are designed to achieve an overall faster, more efficient, and less costly mechanism for resolving Mass Arbitrations, including claims that are not selected for Bellwether Arbitrations.  Accordingly, following the resolution of all of the Bellwether Arbitrations, the parties shall engage in a global mediation of all remaining demands for arbitration comprising the Mass Arbitration.  The mediation shall be administered by the arbitration provider, or a mutually agreeable other mediator.

If the parties are unable to reach a global resolution following the above Bellwether Arbitrations and global mediation, the following batching provisions shall apply to the remaining claims:

  1. The parties shall cooperate to group the arbitration demands into randomized batches of no more than 100 demands per batch. To the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching previously described, a final batch shall consist of the remaining demands.
  2. The arbitration provider shall treat each batch of demands as one case, with each case having one demand for arbitration, one appointed arbitrator, and one set of administrative documents, and administrative, arbitrator, and filing fees per batch. 
  3. This batching process shall not impact the nature of these actions as individual in nature, including that the arbitrator will make a separate determination for each claimant, nor shall it change the burden of proof on each individual claimant.

You agree to cooperate in good faith with JanSport and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution. Disagreements over the applicability of this batch arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. If the AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the Dispute in accordance with the terms set forth in this section, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider that is willing and able to administer the Mass Arbitration pursuant to the Bellwether Arbitration and batch approach outlined in the terms above.

Severability of Arbitration Agreement

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Arbitration Agreement; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Other Terms. The parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that it shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement provisions shall survive after this Agreement terminates or your use of the Website ends. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.

Opt Out

You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement via email sent to terms. If you do so, neither party can force the other party to arbitrate. To opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you must notify us in writing no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the earlier of when you receive notice of the Terms of Use or posting updated terms to the Website. if you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, the Class Action Waiver shall continue to apply. Your opt-out notice and must be sent via email to the email address noted above in this Section and shall include your name, address, and the same email address you used to create an account with us (if you created an account with us) and a statement that you wish to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.  

Termination

With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement, which shall survive the termination of these terms, these terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or we. You may terminate this Terms of Use at any time. We also may terminate these Terms of Use at any time without notice, and accordingly may deny you access to the Website, if in our sole judgment you fail to comply with any term or provision of the Terms of Use.

Pack Points Terms & Conditions

JanSport, a division of VF Outdoor, LLC, is proud to offer Pack Points (“Pack Points” or the “Program”).

1. Privacy and Pack Points; Notice of Bona Fide Loyalty Disclosures for Colorado Residents; Notice of Financial Incentive for California Residents.

Your participation in the Program is voluntary and subject to JanSport’s Privacy Policy, including but not limited to the Bona Fide Loyalty Disclosure and Financial Incentive Disclosure, which may be found . JanSport’s Privacy Policy is made a part of these Terms and is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and JanSport’s Privacy Policy, JanSport’s Privacy Policy will control.

2. Membership

A. Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of the United States to become a Member. Individuals receiving a discount or free product to represent a VF Corporation brand are not eligible to join Pack Points. In addition, employees, officers and directors of unauthorized resellers of JanSport products are not eligible for the Program.

Employees of VF Corporation and its brands (hereafter, “VF Corporation employees”) are eligible to participate in the Program but may be excluded from certain promotions or benefits. (For clarity, a VF Corporation employee must also be at least 18 years of age and a resident of the United States to become a Member.)

B. How to Join: Before joining and/or participating in the Program, you are strongly advised to carefully review these Terms. You may register to become a Pack Points Member:

  • 1. Online  by creating an account and indicating that you want to be a Pack Points Member. Once you’ve created your Pack Points account, you will: earn Points on all Qualifying Purchases made, be able to access your Member account balance, and view/print your points earned which may be used for redemption in increments of 100 points. You will also be signing up to receive Program emails and Member Offers, as well as general marketing emails. Your online account will allow you to access your Member points account balance and see special offers available to Pack Points members. As described in these Terms, once you have earned an increment of 100 points, JanSport will send you an email advisory informing you that the points you’ve earned may be redeemed for a discount on Qualifying Purchases made online.

C. Creating your online account: When setting up your online account, you will receive a one-time password (OTP) to authenticate your email and receive a code to complete your account creation. Each time you log in to the website, you will receive a unique one-time code in your email inbox.

D. Updating information: You are responsible for providing the correct email address to ensure proper accounting and receipt of Points. As a result, each Member is responsible for maintaining accurate and

updated personal information, including their email address. (VF Corporation employees must update their personal information for the Program independent of doing so with the Company’s Human Resources Department.) You may update your personal information for your online account online.

3. Program Benefits – Earning Points, Redeeming Points for Discounts

A. Shop online and earn Points towards Discounts on the purchase of merchandise online.

  • Subject to the conditions provided in these Terms & Conditions, on any eligible product that is purchased (a “Qualifying Purchase”, as further described below), earn: one (1) Points for every U.S. Dollar spent. (For VF Corporation employees, Points will be earned based on the price of eligible products after deduction of any Company discount.)
  • Qualifying Purchase(s) include both regular and sale-priced merchandise online. Purchases made will accrue Points at the time the order ships, not when the order is placed. No Points are earned when purchasing Gift Cards from JanSport, but you do earn Points when redeeming a Gift Card online towards the purchase of regular or sale-priced merchandise. In addition, no Points are earned for:
  • Payment of any form of sales tax, shipping charges, gift boxes or wrapping.
  • Payment made using a Gift Card from JanSport.
  • Discounts received by applying a coupon, promo code, rebate or the like.
  • Any purchases of JanSport products (1) at JanSport stores, (2) at other retailers that sell JanSport products, or (3) on websites other
  • Every 100 Points earned (a “100 Point increment”) may be redeemed for a $10 discount. Points earned will be credited to Member at the time the applicable Qualifying Purchase ships. If purchase is made , once credited, Points may be automatically available in Member’s cart to be applied to a transaction, subject to system availability and these Terms. JanSport does not guarantee that Points earned from a Qualifying Purchase will be available for redemption in the same transaction in which they are earned. Providing an email address at checkout is unrelated to the acceptance of credit card transaction. If for some reason Member does not provide their email address at the time of purchase, they will not be able to apply Points to the transaction in question, but may emailing us. Upon verification by Customer Service of their Qualifying Purchase and that they did not previously receive Points (or a discount) for that purchase, the Points associated with the corresponding Qualifying Purchase will be reflected in their Pack Points account.) In either case, Member may only select ONE (1) discount per transaction.
  • Earning and redemption of Points may take up to five (5) business days to be reflected in the Member’s account.
  • A maximum of 500 Points may be redeemed for a $50 discount in a single transaction.
  • If not redeemed for a discount at the time earned (including if qualifying purchase results in earning less than 100 Points), Points will expire three hundred sixty-five (365) days after being earned. Expiration will occur if (a) Member fails to reach the 100 Point increment within the three hundred sixty-five (365) day period or (b) Member DOES reach the 100 Point increment within the three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, but does NOT redeem the Points for a discount.
  • Unredeemed Points CANNOT be applied so as to result in discount exceeding total amount of transaction.
  • Any refunds or store credits received for the returns of merchandise after purchase will result in the corresponding Points being deducted from your Pack Points account. If you already earned and redeemed a 100 Point increment, a Point deduction due to merchandise return may result in a negative balance in your Pack Points account. (For clarity, a negative balance does not represent a collectible debt owed to JanSport; rather, the negative balance will only be used to offset future Points earned by you. Negative balance will only expire when offset by earning Points via Qualifying Purchase or otherwise, unless JanSport elects to waive a negative balance on a case-by-case basis in its sole discretion.)
  • Pack Points may also be earned without purchase by performing the following activities; provided that certain non-purchase activities may require the Member to have previously purchased a JanSport product, as specified below, while other activities do not require a purchase.
