13. Dispute Resolution: Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution; Class and Collective Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver
IMPORTANT: THIS SECTION IMPACTS CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS, MASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; CONTAINS A WAIVER TO THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL; AND LIMITS YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY.
This agreement covers any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Genesco Inc., and/or any of their respective officers, directors, board members, agents, employees, affiliates, vendors, and third parties if Genesco could be directly or indirectly liable, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your purchase or use of any products or services through the Service, or these Terms (the “Dispute”). This includes, but is not limited to, claims based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort, or any other legal or equitable theory.
If the parties have more than one Dispute between them, all such Disputes shall be asserted and resolved in a single claim so they may be resolved at the same time, or they will be deemed waived. This Section 13 shall survive termination of these Terms.
Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution. We are always interested in resolving disagreements amicably and efficiently. Many of your inquiries may be resolved by contacting us at legalnotices@genesco.com. In the unlikely event that a Dispute arises you agree that, before initiating any legal action, you will first provide us with written notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) so that we may work with you in good faith to find a mutually agreeable solution. The Notice of Dispute must include the following information: (i) your name and contact information; (ii) the nature and basis of the claim or Dispute; and (iii) the nature and basis of the relief sought (including a calculation of any damages). Your Notice of Dispute to us must be personally signed by you (and your attorney if you are represented by legal counsel). Any Notice of Dispute must be specific to you as an individual and cannot be consolidated with Disputes involving any other parties.
During the 60-business days from the date we receive your Notice of Dispute, both parties agree to engage in good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. During this 60-business day period, both parties agree to toll any statutes of limitations that may apply, along with any filing deadlines.
We will consider reasonable requests to resolve a Dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration.
If the sufficiency of a Notice of Dispute or compliance with this informal resolution process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and any litigation shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent.
Class Action Waiver. You agree that you will not sue Genesco, Inc., and/or their respective officers, directors, board members, agents, employees affiliates, vendors, and third parties if Genesco could be directly or indirectly liable, as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class action lawsuit against Genesco, its affiliates, and/or vendors in relation to your use of the Service. You and Genesco explicitly agree to the fullest extent allowable and enforceable under applicable law, that any Dispute must be decided on an individual basis. You agree that any and all Disputes (which you acknowledge and agree shall be defined as broadly as possible) will be resolved individually, and without resort to any form of class, collective, or representative action. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits your rights to bring a lawsuit as an individual plaintiff. All claims must be brought solely in a party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, consolidated action, representative action, or proceeding. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in these Terms, any challenge to the validity of this Section 13(b) must be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights they may have (including but not limited to, their constitutional or statutory right) to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding for any Dispute, including but not limited to Disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the relationship of the parties.
Time Bar. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, A PARTY MUST DELIVER WRITTEN NOTICE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES – OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
Venue. These Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by Tennessee law. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Tennessee, United States of America, for purposes of any legal action arising out of or related to a Dispute, and waive any objections as to personal jurisdiction as to the laying of venue in such courts due to: (a) inconvenient forum; or (b) any other basis or any right to seek to transfer or change venue of any such action to another court.
14. Internal Do Not Call (DNC) and Text Policy
These terms constitute Johnston & Murphy’s formal, written Do Not Call and Text Policy, developed and maintained to comply with the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule and the FCC's Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
We maintain an Internal DNC list of persons who request not to receive (i.e., opt out of) calls made by or on behalf of Johnston & Murphy.
You may opt out of marketing calls or text messages at any time by replying "STOP" to a text, emailing johnstonmurphy@johnstonmurphy.com or mailing 535 Marriott Dr., 8th Floor, Nashville, TN 37214, Attn: Johnston & Murphy Do Not Call Compliance, requesting to be opted out of marketing calls or texts. Requests will be processed promptly, and no later than 10 days after receipt.
Exceptions: We may still contact you if messages are transactional or informational (e.g., order confirmations, shipping updates) or if you later opt-in and consent to receive marketing calls or text messages from Johnston & Murphy.
All employees engaged in marketing calls or texts are trained on this policy. We maintain records of all opt-out and Internal DNC requests for at least five years to ensure compliance.
This Internal DNC policy applies to all marketing calls and text messages initiated by Johnston & Murphy and is available upon request.
15. Miscellaneous
Severability. In the event that any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.
No Waiver. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Entire Agreement. These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this Service constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms). Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
