15.       Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.  RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. 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.

Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the Service shall be settled by binding arbitration. You and Company waive the right to go to court and agree to submit any claims to arbitration. This arbitration provision is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended. However, we both retain the right to pursue in a small claims court any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis.  You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules issued in Sept. 2014. Please contact the AAA for a copy of the rules. For your convenience, arbitration may be conducted in the federal district where you reside. It may be held by telephone or through written submissions if both you and Company agree. Any award rendered shall include a written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the FAA. This provision survives termination of your subscription or relationship with Company.  If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable, then this entire arbitration provision shall be rendered null and void.

16.       YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM SIGN-UP OR THE FIRST MOBILE MESSAGE RECEIVED (WHICHEVER IS FIRST) BY WRITING TO: HIBBETT SPORTING GOODS, INC., 2700 MILAN COURT, BIRMINGHAM, AL  35211, ATTN: LEGAL DEPT.  ANY SUCH WRITING MUST BE SENT TO HIBBETT VIA U.S. CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.

17.       Changes to Terms. Our Terms may be modified and/or we may cease offering the Service. YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE NEW TERMS. 

18.       General. No waiver of any of the provisions of these Terms shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed from the remainder of these Terms, which shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Company and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Company. These Terms and your relationship with Company shall be governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
