You and Colt agree that any Dispute between You and Colt will be resolved exclusively and finally by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“Arbitrator“) and conducted under its rules, except as otherwise provided below. You and Colt will agree on another arbitration forum if Arbitrator ceases operations. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator, and will be limited solely to the Dispute between You and Colt. The arbitration, or any portion of it, will not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will not be conducted on a class-wide or class action basis. The arbitration shall be held at any reasonable location near your residence by submission of documents, by telephone, online or in person whichever method of presentation You choose. If You prevail in the arbitration of any Dispute with Colt, Colt will reimburse You for any fees you paid to Arbitrator in connection with the arbitration. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. Should either party bring a Dispute in a forum other than Arbitrator, the arbitrator may award the other party its reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in staying or dismissing such other proceedings or in otherwise enforcing compliance with this dispute resolution provision. You understand that, in the absence of this provision, You would have had a right to litigate disputes through a court, including the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action basis, and that You have expressly and knowingly waived those rights and agreed to resolve any Disputes through binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. This arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. For the purposes of this provision, the term “Dispute“ means any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, applicability or validity thereof, (ii) the related order for, purchase, delivery, receipt or use of any product or service from Colt, or iii) any other dispute arising out of or relating to the relationship between You and Colt; the term “Colt“ means Colt, Inc, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, beneficiaries, agents, assigns, component suppliers (both hardware and software), and/or any third party who provides products or services purchased from or distributed by Colt; and the term “You“ means you, or those in privity with you, such as family members or beneficiaries.

You may not assign this Agreement without Colt's written consent. Colt and its subsidiaries and affiliates are intended beneficiaries of this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and any other agreement included with or relating to products or services purchased from Colt, this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended without the written agreement of Colt. Any additional or altered terms attached to your order shall be null and void, unless expressly agreed to in writing by Colt.
