The Site contains Merchandise inventory information.  This information can be used to estimate the likelihood that the applicable Merchandise will be shipped immediately after you place your order.  Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that Merchandise listed as “in stock” will actually ship right away, as inventory can change significantly from day-to-day, and hour-to-hour.  In rare cases, Merchandise may be in stock when you place your order and sold out by the time that your order is processed.  Should this happen, we will notify you via email.  If, for any reason, we determine that backordered Merchandise is no longer available, we will cancel your order, notify you immediately via email and provide you with a refund.

In the event that Merchandise is listed at an incorrect price point due to a typographical error or an error in pricing information received from our suppliers, John Varvatos® shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the Merchandise so listed at the incorrect price.  John Varvatos® shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order whether or not the order has been confirmed and whether or not the applicable User paid for such Merchandise.  If a User has already paid for Merchandise and that order is cancelled, John Varvatos® shall immediately issue a credit to that User’s Payment Method (as defined below) in the amount of the subject charge.

20.  Dispute Resolution Provisions.  The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in New York, NY and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict of law principles).  The parties hereby agree to arbitrate all claims that may arise under the Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, should a dispute arise between the parties including, without limitation, any matter concerning the John Varvatos® Offerings, the terms and conditions of the Agreement or the breach of same by any party hereto: (a) the parties agree to submit their dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in New York, NY, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration rules of the AAA; and (b) you agree to first commence a formal dispute proceeding by completing and submitting a Legal Dispute Notice which can be found here. We may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Legal Dispute Notice (“Final Settlement Offer”).  If we provide you with a Final Settlement Offer and you do not accept it, or we cannot otherwise satisfactorily resolve your dispute and you wish to proceed, you must submit your dispute for resolution by arbitration before the AAA, in your county of residence, by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration, which is available here.  For claims of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone or based only on submissions. If the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than our Final Settlement Offer, then we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration and, if you retained an attorney to represent you in connection with the arbitration, we will reimburse any reasonable attorneys' fees that your attorney accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim in arbitration. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Although we may have a right to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek such an award from you unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against the Covered Parties and/or their respective employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and/or assigns. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney's fees and court costs that any Covered Party incurs in seeking such relief. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits: (i) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above; and (ii) is an independent agreement. You may opt-out of these dispute resolution provisions by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first access the Site.   

21.  Miscellaneous.  To the extent that anything in or associated with the John Varvatos® Offerings is in conflict or inconsistent with the Agreement, the Agreement shall take precedence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and the Returns Policy, insofar as the return of Merchandise is concerned, the Returns Policy shall govern. Our failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision.  The parties do not intend that any agency or partnership relationship be created through operation of the Agreement.  Should any part of the Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.  John Varvatos® may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice to you. The Agreement, may not however, be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under it.  Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.
