Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

The parties each agree to notify the other in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that they can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Byrna shall be sent by certified mail or courier to 107 Audubon Rd, Wakefield MA. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your order or Byrna account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Notice to the user of Byrna products or Services will be sent electronically to the email address you use or used for your order or Byrna account, and will include (i) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (ii) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (iii) the specific relief that we are seeking. If the Parties cannot agree how to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either one of them may commence an arbitration proceeding as specified herein or, to the extent specifically permitted herein, file a claim in court.

Limitation Period, Venue, Governing Rules

Except for actions in small claims court or seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, the Parties agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed within ONE YEAR of the date the Dispute arose or the claim is permanently barred. The parties further agree (a) that any arbitration will occur in the State of Massachusetts in the County of Middlesex or in the county in which you reside, (b) that the state or federal courts of the State of Massachusetts and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Massachusetts, Middlesex County, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award, and (c) that any Dispute arbitrated hereunder shall be arbitrated on a confidential basis by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which are available on the AAA website and hereby incorporated by reference. By purchasing any product from or otherwise using this site you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of AAA, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of AAA and any claim that the rules of AAA are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

Exclusivity of and Limits on Arbitrator’s Scope of Authority

Subject to the limits set forth herein with respect to representative actions, damages and otherwise, and subject to any limits set forth in the FAA or in local arbitration rules of the AAA, the arbitrator of any Dispute will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding such Dispute, including deciding its arbitrability, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available; provided, however, that no arbitrator of a Dispute shall have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action or to join the arbitration between the Parties with any other action or arbitration. Arbitrators of any and all disputes hereunder have limited authority only to conduct individual proceedings and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, resolve any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained in this Section, are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.

Severability

If any part of these provisions for Dispute resolution is deemed invalid or unenforceable, such part shall be interpreted as narrowly as may be permitted by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this section will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in this section are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section by writing to: Byrna, 115 Burtt Rd, Suite #100, Andover MA 01810. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.

GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

These Terms of Service and any other agreements between the Parties related to Byrna's products shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware (exclusive of its choice of law provisions). By using this Service and/or purchasing products on this site the Parties irrevocably agree that any Dispute not subject to arbitration or which cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved on an individual basis exclusively in the U.S. District Court for Delaware or the state courts located in Delaware. You and Byrna each irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of these courts and waives any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction by courts in Delaware and to this venue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, you and Byrna agree that Byrna may commence and maintain an action or proceeding seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the Parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.
