Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you Submit are deemed User Content and licensed to us as set forth above. Orvis’s receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by Orvis of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair Orvis’s right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

4. Copyright Infringement
DMCA Notice. Orvis handles copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). You may not post, upload, or otherwise place any content or information on the Site that belongs to a third party, unless you have the legal right to do so. If you are a copyright owner who would like to send us a notice pursuant to the DMCA regarding content or material posted on the Site, you may notify our designated copyright agent either by mail to 1711 Blue Hills Drive, Roanoke, VA 24012 or in an email to customerservice@orvis.com. Please include the following:
- a reference or subject line that says: “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice”;
- a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
- a description of where the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity is located that is reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (please include the full URL of the page(s) on the Site on which the material appears);
- your full name, address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and
- your electronic or physical signature.
It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed. Orvis may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and Orvis may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.
We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work. That person may elect to send us a DMCA Counter-Notification.
Without limiting Orvis’s other rights, Orvis may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate a repeat infringer’s access to the Site and any other website owned or operated by Orvis.
DMCA Counter-Notification. If a work that you Submitted to Orvis is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the addresses above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:
- a reference or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;
- a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the full URL of the page(s) on the Site from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);
- a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
- your full name, address, telephone number, email address;
- a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Vermont), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA Notification to us or an agent of such person; and
- your electronic or physical signature.
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
If we receive a DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA Counter-Notification. However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the addresses above that the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Site. You should also be aware that we may forward the Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

8. Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief
YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN AN INJUNCTION OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND SUCH AS ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CONTENT, SUBMISSIONS, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED, OR CONTROLLED BY ORVIS.
9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION/MANDATORY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER
IMPORTANT: THIS SECTION (SECTION 9) LIMITS CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY.
In the unlikely event that a disagreement arises between you and Orvis, you must first contact us directly by calling us at 888-235-9763 or by emailing customerservice@orvis.com so that we may work in good faith to find a mutually agreeable solution.
If the issue cannot be resolved as described above within sixty (60) days, you and Orvis agree, as permitted by applicable law, to resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Site, these Terms, or Additional Terms (collectively, “Dispute”) through binding individual arbitration, or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. You agree that the term “Dispute” in these Terms will have the broadest meaning possible. These Terms also cover any Dispute between you and any officer, director, board member, agent, employee, affiliate of Orvis, or third party if Orvis could be liable, directly or indirectly, for such Dispute. If the parties have more than one Dispute between them, you and Orvis agree to assert all such Disputes in a single arbitration so they may be resolved at the same time or they will be deemed waived.
CLASS AND COLLECTIVE ACTION WAIVER: You and Orvis explicitly agree to the fullest extent allowable and enforceable under applicable law, that the arbitrator must decide any Dispute on an individual basis.
NO DISPUTE SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated absent the express written consent of Orvis. The arbitrator may only award relief (including injunctive relief, if available) on an individual basis. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, any challenge to the validity of this Class and Collective Action Waiver must be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If, for any reason, this Class and Collective Action Waiver is held to be unconscionable or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution/Mandatory Binding Arbitration provision (Section 9) shall not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in a state or federal court in Vermont. Accordingly, you and Orvis consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.
- As stated above, we require you to first contact us directly at customerservice@orvis.com to seek a resolution. If we cannot resolve a Dispute within sixty (60) days, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Disputes shall be resolved solely by a single, neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in a reasonably convenient location agreed to by the parties in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Due Process Protocol (including, but not limited to the AAA’s Consumer-Arbitration Rules, available at the ADR Consumer site), except that we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court. You can also obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information by visiting the ADR Consumer site.
- To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must submit the Dispute by utilizing the forms available at the ADR Consumer site, and simultaneously sending a copy of the completed form to the following address: 200 State Street, 7th Floor, Boston, MA 02109.
- Upon filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees other than the initial $200 filing fee, and for claims of less than $1,000, Orvis will reimburse you for the filing fee within 30 days of receiving a written request from you. Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.
- WITH ARBITRATION (i) THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, (ii) THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION OUTCOME ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND (iii) JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS LIMITED. Any Dispute shall otherwise be governed by the internal laws of the State of Vermont without regard to Vermont choice of law principles, except that the provisions of this agreement concerning arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrability of Disputes shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You hereby consent to, and waive, all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Vermont.
- Certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Orvis agree that we intend that this Section 9 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual written agreement.
- In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, you and Orvis shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider.
- TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES – OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Orvis from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any of the following: (i) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms; (ii) your use of the Site; (iii) your User Content; (iv) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities; (v) your violation of the rights of any third party including any intellectual property, publicity, confidentiality, property, or privacy right; or (vi) any misrepresentation made by you. Orvis reserves the right to assume, at your expense, the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. You agree to cooperate with Orvis’s defense of any claim. You will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of Orvis.
11. Third-Party Sites and Other Information
The Site may contain, as a convenience to you, content, links, and other information submitted by third parties over whom Orvis has no control or responsibility. Orvis has no obligation to monitor, control, or restrict the use of the Site, or third-party websites or services accessible via links available as part of the Site. These other websites or services are not under Orvis’s control, and you acknowledge that, whether or not such websites or services are affiliated in any way with Orvis, Orvis is not responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, decency, or any other aspect of the content of such websites or services. The inclusion of such a link does not imply endorsement of any website or service by Orvis or any association with its operators.
12. Electronic Communications
We may communicate with you electronically in regard to the Site, including by email, and we may collect information related to communications between you and Orvis. You agree that all notices, disclosures, agreements, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You agree that any time you electronically transact, agree, or consent via the Site, your action is intended as an electronic signature which binds you as if you had signed on paper.
13. General Provisions
Severability; Interpretation; Assignment. If any provision of these Terms is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms. The summaries of provisions and Section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms. Orvis may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice. These Terms may not be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of Orvis.
Complete Agreement; No Waiver. These Terms reflect our complete agreement regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements, representations, warranties, assurances, or discussion related to the Site. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, (i) no failure or delay by Orvis in exercising any of the rights, powers, or remedies hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by Orvis.
Investigations; Cooperation with Law Enforcement. Orvis reserves the right to investigate and prosecute any suspected or actual violations of these Terms. Orvis may disclose any information as necessary or appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation, legal process, or government request.
Governing Law. These Terms, your rights and the rights of Orvis within these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Vermont, without regard to choice of law principles. Any action arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Vermont and you hereby consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
