Disputes

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS CAREFULLY. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. By accepting these Terms of Use, you agree to resolve any dispute with us through binding arbitration or small claims court and to waive your rights to participate in any class action suit and to a jury trial. This agreement to arbitrate, class action waiver, and jury trial waiver shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and the termination of your account with Belk or your discontinued use of Belk’s Platforms.

A. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES, WHETHER AT LAW OR EQUITY, IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR CONCERNING THESE TERMS OF USE, BELK’S PRIVACY POLICY, BELK GIFT CARDS, YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO BELK’S PLATFORMS (OTHER THAN UNAUTHORIZED USE), ANY COMMUNICATION, BY WHATEVER MEANS, BETWEEN YOU AND BELK, OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED BY BELK, WHETHER IN-STORE, OVER THE PHONE, OR ONLINE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, BILLING DISPUTES OR DISPUTES OVER THE ADVERTISING OF, SALES PRACTICES, OR PRICING RELATING TO PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR DELIVERY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. This dispute resolution and arbitration provision includes any claims and disputes between you and Belk, its affiliates, related entities, agents, representatives, insurers, payment processors, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, licensors, or suppliers, and any claims against other parties whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding. You and we each also agree that the Terms of Use affect interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, not state law, apply and govern the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution and arbitration provision (despite the general choice of law provision set forth below). Disputes and claims brought on an individual basis related to intellectual property, patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of Belk’s Platforms or services are excluded from this dispute resolution and arbitration provision.

Belk is committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. For any and all disputes or claims you have against Belk, including those described in the above paragraph, you must first give Belk an opportunity to resolve the dispute by sending notice by certified mail to 2801 West Tyvola Road, Charlotte, NC 28217, Attn: General Counsel, or by attaching a PDF of the notice to an email and sending to Customer_Resolution@belk.com. The notice must be physically signed by you and provide the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, (4) a description of the specific relief you seek, and (5) a request for arbitration. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You agree not to commence any arbitration or court proceeding unless you and we are unable to resolve the claim within 60 days after we receive your claim notice, and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with us during that time. You and Belk may also mutually agree to extend the time period provided in this paragraph. You may pursue your dispute or claim in a court only under the limited circumstances described below.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CLAIM WITHIN 60 DAYS DESPITE THOSE GOOD FAITH EFFORTS, THEN EITHER YOU OR WE MAY START ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT PROCEEDINGS. To begin arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) with a copy of the demand on Belk’s registered agent for service of process, National Registered Agents, Inc., 160 Mine Lake Court, Suite 200, Raleigh, North Carolina 27615, United States. For any consumer matters, the arbitration of all disputes will be administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, except to the extent any of those rules conflicts with our agreement in these Terms of Use, in which case these Terms of Use will govern. The AAA’s rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at https://www.adr.org. After you pay your portion of any initial filing fee, Belk shall pay any remaining portion of the initial fee. Thereafter, the payment of administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. If the claims asserted in any request or demand for arbitration could have been brought in small claims court, then either you or we may elect to have the claims heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, by notifying the other party of that election in writing.

The arbitration of all disputes will be conducted by a single arbitrator, who shall be selected using the following procedure: (a) the AAA will send the parties a list of nine (9) arbitrators drawn from its panel of arbitrators. Each party will have ten (10) calendar days to strike all names on the list it deems unacceptable. If only one common name remains on the lists of all parties, that individual will be designated as the Arbitrator. If more than one common name remains on the lists of all parties, the parties will strike names alternately from the list of common names by telephone conference administered by AAA, with the party to strike first to be determined by a coin toss conducted by AAA, until only one remains. If no common name remains on the lists of all parties, the AAA will furnish an additional list of nine (9) arbitrators from which the parties will strike alternately by telephone conference administered by AAA, with the party to strike first to be determined by a coin toss conducted by AAA, until only one name remains. That person will be designated as the arbitrator. If the individual selected cannot serve, AAA will issue another list of nine (9) arbitrators and repeat the alternate striking selection process. If AAA fails or declines to conduct the arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint a different arbitration administrator.

An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. During the arbitration, both you and we may take one deposition of the opposing party, limited to 4 hours. Unless we and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings for claims of $10,000 or less, will be conducted solely on the basis of (i) documents submitted to the arbitrator, or (ii) through a telephonic hearing, except if the arbitrator requires otherwise. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any Court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may award either party its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including reasonable expenses associated with production of witnesses or proof upon a finding that a claim was frivolous or brought solely to harass you or Belk. A party may make an offer of judgment in a manner consistent with, and within the time limitations, consequences, and effects provided in Rule 68 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The offer shall be served on the offeree in the same manner in which other papers are served in the arbitral proceeding. The offer shall not be served on the Arbitrator, except that if the offer is accepted, either party may then file with the Arbitrator the offer and notice of acceptance together with proof of service thereof. The Arbitrator shall then immediately render an award as provided by the offer, and the arbitration proceedings shall then be terminated. If the offer is not accepted, the offer shall not be used as evidence in the arbitration proceedings and, following the issuance of the Arbitrator’s award, the offeror may file a motion for costs with the Arbitrator, who shall retain jurisdiction to decide the motion and award costs to the offeror as warranted, to the extent allowed by applicable law.

B. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If you or we believe that any claim you or we have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with this limitation, then you agree that you or we may seek an order from a court determining whether your claim is within the scope of this class action waiver. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that any part of this class action waiver is unenforceable with respect to any claim, the arbitration agreement and class action waiver will not apply to that claim, but they will still apply to any and all other claims that you or we may assert in that or any other action. Regardless of anything else in this agreement and/or the AAA Rules or other applicable rules, or any amendments and/or modifications to those rules, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

C. Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND BELK AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND BELK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN A PUBLIC COURT. In the absence of this provision, you and Belk might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, other than small claims court, before a judge or jury.

D. Offer of Judgment. A party may make an offer of judgment in a manner consistent with, and within the time limitations, consequences, and effects provided in Rule 68 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The offer shall be served on the offeree in the same manner in which other papers are served in the arbitral proceeding. The offer shall not be served on the Arbitrator, except that if the offer is accepted, either party may then file with the Arbitrator the offer and notice of acceptance together with proof of service thereof. The Arbitrator shall then immediately render an award as provided by the offer, and the arbitration proceedings shall then be terminated. If the offer is not accepted, the offer shall not be used as evidence in the arbitration proceedings and, following the issuance of the Arbitrator’s award, the offeror may file a motion for costs with the Arbitrator, who shall retain jurisdiction to decide the motion and award costs to the offeror as warranted.

E. Sanctions. To the extent allowed by applicable law and if the claim(s) or counterclaim(s) brought by either party in arbitration allow for imposition of sanctions, the Arbitrator may award either party its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including reasonable expenses associated with production of witnesses or proof, upon a finding that the claim or counterclaim was frivolous or brought solely to harass you or Belk.

Miscellaneous Provisions

The Platforms are controlled and operated by Belk from its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Federal Arbitration Act and applicable federal law (or, in the absence of applicable federal law, then the laws of the State of North Carolina), without regard to any conflict of law provisions, will govern these Terms of Use and any disputes or claims between you and Belk. In any circumstances where the agreement to arbitrate permits the parties to litigate a dispute in court, any such dispute shall be resolved exclusively by, and you hereby agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of, the state and federal courts in the State of North Carolina.
