ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Scope of the Arbitration Agreement.

Mindful of the high cost of legal disputes, not only in dollars but in time and energy, both you and Floor & Decor agree that any legal dispute or claim between you and Floor & Decor, including its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Floor & Decor Parties”), arising out of, relating to or concerning this Agreement, any aspect of your customer relationship with Floor & Decor Parties, any product purchase, pick up, or delivery from Floor & Decor Parties, any related communications between you and Floor & Decor Parties, or your participation in any program or service provided by the Floor & Decor Parties (“Dispute”), shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration unless you are expressly permitted to resolve your legal dispute or claim outside of arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. Dispute includes any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between you and the Floor & Decor Parties, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. Dispute also includes all legal disputes or claims that arose before the existence of these Terms & Conditions (including, but not limited to advertising claims) and legal disputes or claims that arise after the termination of these Terms & Conditions. The term “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

All arbitration proceedings between you and the Floor & Decor Parties will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and shall be governed by the applicable rules of the AAA then in effect (the “Rules”) as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If AAA is unable or otherwise unavailable to administer an arbitration consistent with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, then the parties shall attempt to agree on an alternative administrator. If the parties cannot reach an agreement on an alternative administrator, one shall be selected by a court, which shall administer the arbitration consistent with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. You or the Floor & Decor Parties may commence arbitration against the other by delivering a demand for arbitration (“Demand”) that is personally verified by you and describes in detail the nature and basis of your claim(s) and request for relief. The Demand shall be sent by first class or registered mail to (1) Floor & Decor at 2500 Windy Ridge Parkway SE, Atlanta, GA 30339, Attn: Legal Department, or (2) you at the postal address on file with Floor & Decor. In your Demand, you shall personally certify to AAA and to Floor & Decor that you are a party to this Arbitration Agreement and provide a copy or link to it when submitting your Demand. You shall also personally certify that you have fully complied with the Informal Dispute Resolution process detailed above. You agree that you shall personally participate, along with your counsel if represented, in an individualized administrative telephonic conference with AAA prior to the appointment of an arbitrator if requested by the Floor & Decor Parties.

The arbitration will be conducted before a sole neutral arbitrator selected by agreement between you and the Floor & Decor Parties, who shall be located where the arbitration shall take place. If you and Floor & Decor cannot agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator, a neutral arbitrator will be selected as provided in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted at a location reasonably convenient to you.

The parties agree that the arbitrator may award relief (including declaratory or injunctive relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the proceeding. The award of the arbitrator will be the exclusive remedy of you and the Floor & Decor Parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or pleaded to the arbitrator. The award of the arbitrator may require payment of the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in any such arbitration by the non-prevailing party. The provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall be applied by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be bound by these Terms & Conditions as any court would. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned, detailed decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitration award shall be binding only as to the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party provided that the arbitrator may consider rulings in other arbitrations involving different individuals.

Judgment upon the award may be entered in a state court presiding over Atlanta, Georgia or, if subject matter jurisdictional requirements can be satisfied, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and you irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any such courts in any action or proceeding brought to enforce a judgment. Any additional costs, fees or expense incurred in enforcing the award may be charged against the party that resists its enforcement.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, TO SUE OR TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING ANY CLASS-ACTION SUIT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL AND NOT A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. A DISPUTE MAY NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THE CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. THIS CLASS ACTION AND COLLECTIVE RELIEF WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND IF IT IS DEEMED INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF THEN NEITHER PARTY IS ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE SUCH CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT THE CLASS ACTION AND COLLECTIVE RELIEF WAIVER IS NOT ENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF (INCLUDING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF) AND ANY APPEALS OF THAT DECISION HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED OR THE DECISION IS OTHERWISE FINAL THEN THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF MAY PROCEED IN COURT, BUT SHALL BE STAYED PENDING ARBITRATION OF THE REMAINING CLAIMS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, either you or the Floor & Decor Parties may elect to have your individual claim heard in small claims court, which shall seek only individualized relief, so long as the action remains in that court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. This election may be made at any time prior to the appointment of an arbitrator, assuming it is consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply.

If your Dispute is asserted or noticed along with 30 or more similar claims or disputes by the same or coordinated counsel or is otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that the adjudication of your Dispute might be delayed. Specifically, you understand and agree to the following coordinated bellwether process: Counsel for the claimants and counsel for the Floor & Decor Parties shall each select 15 Demands to proceed first in arbitration in a bellwether process. The remaining Demands shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration and no intake shall be processed and no filing or other arbitration fees shall become due and owing for those Demands until they are selected for a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining Demands after the conclusion of the initial 30 proceedings, then each side shall select another 15 Demands to proceed to arbitration for a second bellwether process. This process shall continue until all of the Demands are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of this process unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. The statute of limitations shall be tolled for Demands that are coordinated as part of this process until the time the Demands are selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing of arbitration demands against the Floor & Decor Parties.

Except as specifically set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. Except as specifically set forth above, only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, the parties agree that any issue concerning the validity of the lawsuit waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of such waiver. The Informal Dispute Resolution provision and this Arbitration Agreement shall survive any termination of these Terms & Conditions and your relationship with Floor & Decor.

GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND OTHER TERMS

The Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of the Arbitration Agreement, and with regard to any interpretations of this agreement or any permitted non-arbitrated disputes or claims under this agreement, the law of the State of Georgia will govern without regard to principles of choice or conflicts of law. You agree that any permitted non-arbitrated disputes or claims between you and Floor & Decor arising from or related to the Site or this agreement shall exclusively be resolved in a state court presiding over Atlanta, Georgia or, if the subject matter jurisdictional requirements can be satisfied, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and you irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such state and federal courts for any such dispute or claim. You waive any right that you may have to object to the personal jurisdiction or venue of such state and federal courts.
