As used in these Terms, “Vedder Holsters”, “us” or “we” refers to Vedder Holsters and its subsidiaries and affiliates. You and Vedder Holsters may be referred to collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party.”
Vedder Holsters offers this Site, including all information, tools, and services available from this Site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here. We recommend that you read the following terms and conditions carefully.
By visiting our Site and/or purchasing something from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the Terms, including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. 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.
These Terms contain an arbitration provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. See Section 22 (Dispute Resolution) for full details.
You understand that the Site and any information made available through the Site is for informational purposes only. Any activity involving firearms is potentially dangerous and could result in property damage, serious injury, disabling injury or death.

The Privacy Policy is available here. We encourage you to frequently check the Privacy Policy for changes.
3.CHANGES TO TERMS AND PRIVACY POLICY
Vedder Holsters reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change this Agreement and its Privacy Policy at any time upon notice to you (including by posting a new version, or by sending you a change notice). Vedder Holsters encourages you to periodically review the Terms to stay informed of our updates. If at any time you find either this Agreement or the Privacy Policy unacceptable, you must immediately cease accessing the Site and/or using the Service.

Vedder Holsters will not be responsible for any typographical or other human errors that can and do occur. It is the user's responsibility to personally check for holster handgun compatibility. It is also the user's responsibility to regularly check the holster and its hardware (including, but not limited to, snaps and tension screws) for proper fit and function. Slight manufacturing changes in a handgun model can affect the proper and safe fit of your handgun and holster. Vedder Holsters will not be responsible for such changes or for typographical or other human errors, which can and do occur despite diligent efforts. Should any Vedder Holsters' product become worn, loose, broken, defective or ill-fitting, or if in your opinion is unsafe, cease use immediately. Any damage or injury caused to you or others as a result of your use of the product, including but not limited to damage to property, or injury and/or death to people, is your responsibility.

Under the DMCA, you may be held liable for damages based on material misrepresentations in your Infringement Notice.

22.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.
23.NOTICES

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.
