The following terms together with any rules, program terms, guidelines, policies and directions govern your use of the Sites (the “Agreement”).
Please take a few minutes to review this Agreement carefully. By using the Sites, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. This Agreement applies to all users of the Sites, including users who view material, buy products, and/or register for accounts or programs on the Sites.
Please note the arbitration provision requires—except where and to the extent prohibited by law, which may include the province of Quebec—you to arbitrate any claims you may have against us on an individual basis. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, IF ANY, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
2. WHO WE ARE
We are Boardriders, Inc., including all of its affiliates, subsidiaries and brands: Quiksilver, Billabong, Roxy, DC Shoes, RVCA, Element, Vonzipper, Honolua, Dot Dash and The Boardriders Foundation (“Boardriders,” “we,” “us,” “our”). Our headquarters are located at 5600 Argosy Circle, #100, Huntington Beach, CA 92649 USA.

5. DISPUTES AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, which may include the province of Quebec, by using the Sites, you and we agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Sites, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent:
To us at: Boardriders, Inc., Attention: Legal Department, 5600 Argosy Circle, Building #100, Huntington Beach, CA 92649
To you at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address that you provide us.
You and we agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition that must be satisfied before initiating any other action or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE (including any dispute between you and a third-party agent of Boardriders) CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.
