To comply with these laws, Benchmade may require customers purchasing automatic knives to complete an Automatic Knife Opening Acknowledgment (“AKOA”) affidavit confirming eligibility under applicable exemptions.

Additional information about these requirements can be found here.

30. Applicable Law and Venue. To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in all respects in accordance with the substantive laws of the state of Oregon, U.S.A., without regard to its choice of law provisions, and not by the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
To the extent permitted by law, the state and federal courts located in Oregon, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any action or proceedings between you and BENCHMADE that are not subject to arbitration or that may be brought in small claims court and over any action seeking interim or preliminary relief. Each of you and BENCHMADE (i) voluntarily and irrevocably consents and (without waiving service of process) submits to personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Oregon, that have subject matter jurisdiction, and (ii) waives all objections to venue and any claim that you or it is not personally subject to such jurisdiction or to seek a change of venue, and agrees not to bring any such action or proceeding in any other form.
31. Mandatory Pre-Dispute Resolution Process.
(a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and BENCHMADE waive the right to bring any claim directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the Agreement (including all sections of this Agreement) or the Site (including the purchase of BENCHMADE products via BENCHMADE.com) in any forum unless the party bringing the claim provides the other party with written notice of the dispute within one (1) year of its occurrence by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail. BENCHMADE’s address for notice is: Attn: Legal Department – Notice of Dispute, Benchmade Knife Company Inc, 300 Beavercreek Rd., Oregon City, OR 97045. The written notice (“Notice of Dispute”) must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought.
(b) The Notice of Dispute must be personally signed by you (if you are initiating the Notice of Dispute) or by a BENCHMADE representative (if we are initiating the Notice of Dispute). BENCHMADE must send any such Notice of Dispute to you at the email address that BENCHMADE has on file for you.
(c) BENCHMADE and you will attempt to resolve the dispute through reasonable, good-faith consultation, cooperation, and good-faith negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date that the Notice of Dispute is received (or a longer period, if agreed to by the parties). Neither you nor BENCHMADE may initiate an arbitration or small claims proceeding before the conclusion of the sixty-day period from the time the Notice of Dispute is received, or otherwise absent full compliance with the process described in this Section 32 (collectively, the “Mandatory Pre-dispute Resolution Process”). You agree that you or BENCHMADE may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon, as necessary to protect their rights pending completion of the Mandatory Pre-Dispute Resolution Process.
(d) If the sufficiency of a Notice of Dispute or compliance with this Mandatory Pre-dispute Resolution Process is at issue, it may be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon, at either party’s election, and any formal dispute resolution proceeding will be stayed. Such court has the authority to enforce this condition precedent to an arbitration proceeding, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party retains the right to raise non‑compliance with this condition precedent and seek related damages in arbitration. Any applicable limitations period (including statutes of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines will be tolled while you and BENCHMADE engage in the Mandatory Pre-dispute Resolution Process.
32. Class Action Waiver. ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE, ARBITRATE, OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR BENCHMADE WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
33. Small Claims Court. Any dispute directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the Site (including the purchase of BENCHMADE products via BENCHMADE.com) that falls within the jurisdictional scope and limits of the small claims court where you reside may be brought in that court on an individual basis. Such disputes must remain in small claims court and may not be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.
The party initiating the small claims court proceeding shall submit a certification of compliance with the Mandatory Pre-Dispute Resolution Process set forth in Section 32 to that court. The certification shall be personally signed by that party (and counsel, if represented).
34. Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any disputes directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the Agreement (including all sections of this Agreement) or the Site (including the purchase of BENCHMADE products via BENCHMADE.com) that cannot be resolved through the Mandatory Pre‑dispute Resolution Process in Section 32 shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, and administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”). Except as modified by this Agreement, NAM shall administer the arbitration in accordance with the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or the Mass Filing Supplementary Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, as applicable (the “NAM Rules”). The NAM Rules and fee information are available at www.namadr.com. If NAM is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the parties shall agree on an alternate administrator that will do so. If the parties cannot agree, they shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon, to appoint an alternate administrator that will do so.
The demand for arbitration must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). By signing the demand for arbitration, a party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with (i) the Mandatory Pre-Dispute Resolution Process in Section 32 and (ii) all of the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all appropriate persons (including counsel) as a court would.
Any required arbitration hearing will be held in Oregon, or a location that is reasonably convenient for both parties taking into account the location of the parties and relevant witnesses, as well as the parties’ and witnesses’ ability to travel.
Any award in any arbitration initiated hereunder shall be limited to monetary damages and shall include no injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Further, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award punitive, consequential or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages in any arbitration initiated under this section, except as may be required by statute. To the extent a party seeks injunctive relief, it may seek such relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon.
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 32 within thirty (30) days after the date that you first agree to this Agreement by sending a letter to Attn: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, Benchmade Knife Company Inc, 300 Beavercreek Rd., Oregon City, OR 97045, that specifies: your full legal name, your email address (if applicable, the email address associated with your use of the Site), and a statement that you wish to opt out of the provisions of this Section 32 (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once BENCHMADE receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 32 will be void. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement does not prevent you or BENCHMADE from participating in a mass settlement of claims, including from participating in a class-action settlement.
If BENCHMADE makes any future changes to the arbitration provisions in this Section 32 (other than a change to the notice address), you may reject any such change by sending a letter within 30 days after the date of such change to Attn: Legal Department – Arbitration Change Opt-Out, Benchmade Knife Company Inc, 300 Beavercreek Rd., Oregon City, OR 97045, that specifies: your full legal name, your email address (if applicable, the email address associated with your use of the Site), and a statement that you wish to opt out of such change to the provisions of this Section 32 (“Change Opt-Out Notice”). Once BENCHMADE receives your Change Opt‑Out Notice, any such change to this Section 32 will be void as to you, but you will still be bound by the prior arbitration agreement that you agreed to. For clarity, please note that this is not an opt-out of arbitration altogether.
The terms of the arbitration provisions contained in this Section 32 will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of BENCHMADE to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to or use of the Site or the provisions of content or technology on or through the Site.
BY AGREEING TO THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND LIMITING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL. DO NOT USE THIS SITE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOREGOING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.
35. Procedures for Mass Arbitration Filings.
a) If your claim is one of twenty-five (25) or more similar claims intended to be asserted against BENCHMADE by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, consistent with the definition of Mass Filing set forth in the NAM Rules, you and we understand and agree that these procedures for mass arbitration filings will apply and the resolution of your dispute might be delayed. The parties agree that throughout this process, their counsel will meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the mass filing.

Counsel for the claimants and counsel for BENCHMADE will each select twenty-five (25) claims per side to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of the first staged process (“Stage One”). Absent agreement of the parties, no more than five (5) Stage One cases will be assigned to a single arbitrator. If there are fewer than fifty (50) claims, all will be filed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims will not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties will engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge to be jointly selected by counsel for the parties, and BENCHMADE will pay the mediation fee.
· Stage Two. If the remaining claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the claimants and counsel for BENCHMADE will again each select twenty-five (25) claims per side to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process (“Stage Two”), subject to any procedural changes the parties agree to in writing following mediation or through continuing, good-faith discussions. Absent agreement of the parties, no more than five (5) Stage Two cases will be assigned to a single arbitrator. If there are fewer than fifty (50) claims, all will be filed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims will not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this second set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties will engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge to be jointly selected by counsel for the parties, and BENCHMADE will pay the mediation fee.
b) Upon the conclusion of the second global mediation session (should the parties be unable to resolve the remaining claims), either
· Option One. You or BENCHMADE may opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in a court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of this Option One, you may opt out of arbitration by providing your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out to BENCHMADE via email at legal@BENCHMADE.com within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the second global mediation session. For purposes of this Option One, BENCHMADE may opt your claim out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of its intention to opt out to your counsel via email at the earliest possible time and no more than thirty (30) days following the expiration of your thirty (30) day opt-out period. Counsel for the parties may agree to adjust these deadlines. OR
· Option Two. If neither you nor BENCHMADE elect to have your claim heard consistent with Option One above, then you agree that your claim will be resolved through continuing staged proceedings as set forth in this Option Two. If after the expiration of BENCHMADE’s opt-out period, the number of remaining claims exceeds two hundred (200), then two hundred (200) claims will be randomly selected (or selected through a process agreed to by counsel for the parties) to be filed and to proceed in arbitrations as part of a staged process. Absent agreement of the parties, no more than ten (10) cases in any set of two hundred (200) cases will be assigned to a single arbitrator. If the number of remaining claims is fewer than two hundred (200), then all of those claims will be filed and proceed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims will not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until such remaining claims are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After each set of two hundred (200) claims are adjudicated, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved, this staged process will repeat consistent with the parameters in this Option Two.
c) Any relevant limitations period (including statutes of limitations) and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled subject to these procedures for mass arbitration filings from the time the first cases are selected for a staged process until your claim is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration.
d) You and BENCHMADE agree that we each value the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wish to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between us. You and BENCHMADE acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. The parties further agree that application of these procedures for mass arbitration filings has been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of claims.
e) A court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon, will have the authority to enforce these procedures for mass arbitration filings and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. If these procedures for mass arbitration filings apply to your claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon, determines they are not enforceable as to your claim, the mandatory arbitration provisions of this Agreement, including the procedures for mass arbitration filings, are non‑severable from one another and therefore your claim then must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction in Oregon, consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
SERVICE PROGRAM TERMS & CONDITIONS

Any alteration beyond these services is out of scope and may be considered under the Warranty Service.

Certain parts, colors, limited editions, or retired product components may no longer be available and cannot be reproduced or sourced.
39. Discontinued Products. If a product or specific component is discontinued and no suitable direct replacement exists, Benchmade will make a good-faith effort to repair the product using available components. If repair is not reasonably possible, Benchmade may, at its sole discretion, offer a like-kind or comparable replacement. Benchmade is not obligated to recreate retired, limited, or exclusive products.
40. Out-of-Scope Requests. Repairs or changes requested by the customer that fall outside the scope of the Service Programs may be invoiced. Benchmade will notify the customer of any charges before work begins.
Benchmade does not alter the component makeup of any knife, does not upgrade materials, and does not modify knives in a way that would constitute the creation of a new product. Benchmade performs only one-to-one replacement with the same component type where available. Requests for material changes, finish changes, or altered component configurations may be denied.
41. Service Limitations and Discretion. Benchmade provides Service Programs as a discretionary customer benefit. Benchmade reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to:

· limit or refuse service based on misuse, modification, excessive service requests, non-personal use, safety concerns, or fraudulent activity;
· require proof of purchase or proof of personal use;
· block or suspend a customer’s ability to submit future service requests.
Benchmade’s decisions regarding eligibility, repairs, replacements, and service outcomes are final.
42. Modified Knives and Aftermarket Components. Benchmade may, at its discretion, perform service on knives that have been modified with components not manufactured by Benchmade (“Modified Knives”), including aftermarket scales, hardware, blades, or other third-party parts.
Benchmade is not responsible for damage to, loss of, or failure of any aftermarket or non-Benchmade components during service and will not repair, replace, or warranty those components. Benchmade will not sharpen blades that were not manufactured by Benchmade.
Benchmade reserves the right to refuse service on any knife we determine to be unsafe or incompatible with our service procedures and may charge a reassembly or service fee for work performed on Modified Knives.
Customers are encouraged to remove aftermarket components before submitting a knife for service. More information can be found here.
43. Right to Refuse Service. Benchmade may refuse, decline, or discontinue service at any time and without obligation including where:
· the knife has been altered, modified, or tampered with;
· the knife shows evidence of non-Benchmade parts;
· repeated service requests indicate non-personal use;
· the customer engages in abusive, unsafe, fraudulent, or improper conduct; or
· the knife presents a safety or operational risk.
Benchmade may also suspend or permanently block service request submissions for individuals who violate these Service Program Terms.
44. Counterfeit and Non-Benchmade Products. Submitting counterfeit, replica, or non-Benchmade knives for any Service Program is strictly prohibited. If a knife submitted for service is determined or suspected to be counterfeit, Benchmade may:
· impound the knife for authenticity testing;
· perform destructive testing to verify authenticity;
· decline all service requests associated with the knife;
· permanently impound or destroy the product;
· coordinate with third parties or governmental agencies as permitted by law.
Counterfeit or replica knives will not be returned, refunded, or replaced.
By sending any product to Benchmade for service, you automatically agree to the Counterfeit Goods Acknowledgement, which is incorporated into these Service Program Terms by reference. Submission of a knife for service constitutes your full acceptance of the Counterfeit Goods Acknowledgement, whether or not the checkbox or form is completed.

We may modify or cancel the Text Messaging Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Text Messaging Terms at any time and your continued use of the Text Messaging Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.
BENCHMADE may send to you text messages (Short Message Service (“SMS”) or Multimedia Messaging Service (“MMS”)) that contain promotions and marketing content, order tracking and delivery, back in stock (“Notify Me”) reminders, or other such content (collectively our “Text Messaging Service” and each as a separate “Program” as defined in more detail below). By affirmatively opting into one or more Programs as part of BENCHMADE’s Text Messaging Service, you expressly consent to receive text messages from BENCHMADE, including text messages which may utilize or be sent using an automated system, an auto-dialer, an automatic telephone dialing system, and/or other type of system, software, hardware, or machine that may use an automated procedure or process for sending messages, at the mobile telephone number provided at the time of opt-in.
Message and data rates may apply for any message sent or received in connection with this Text Messaging Service. Message frequency may vary.

For help or questions, you can reply to the text message with the keywords “HELP” or “INFO” for more assistance.
