Our Customer Service Specialists are ready to assist you and address your concerns—email info@support.birkenstockusa.com or call (844) 505-4055 (toll-free).In the event that our customer service team is unable to resolve your concern, by using this Site you unconditionally agree that all claims relating to your access or use of our Site, including all disputes arising out of, or related to, any products or services purchased from BUSA through this Site, will be resolved solely through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. You may also assert individual claims in small claims court if your claims otherwise qualify. You and BUSA both further agree that we may each bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you may send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent: C T Corporation System, 818 West Seventh Street, Suite 930, Los Angeles, CA 90017. You agree that the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (‘AAA’), https://www.adr.org, or 1.800.778.7879. You can contact AAA to find out more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules. BUSA will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000. Likewise, BUSA will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed-upon location.
CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS. You and BUSA agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, consolidated, aggregated, representative or collective action basis. The arbitrator shall be empowered only to hear and determine an individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and BUSA each waives any right to a jury trial or to bring a class, consolidated, aggregated, representative or collective action against the other.
ARBITRATIONS AND COURT ACTIONS DIFFER. An arbitrator is able to award damages and other relief, including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages. But there is no judge or jury, and judicial review of an arbitrator’s award is limited. Discovery in arbitration is also limited in accord with AAA rules. In addition, as set forth above, you are waiving any ability for an arbitrator to oversee or determine class, consolidated, aggregated, representative or collective actions.
IMPORTANT: THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, AGGREGATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES THAT YOU OR BUSA WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

TAX
Tax is collected for purchases made from New York, Kentucky and California. Tax is based on tax rates for your taxing jurisdiction derived from the ship-to address being used for your order. Some states offer tax exemptions and exceptions for certain apparel items. In these states Birkenstock does not charge sales tax. Tax, if applicable, is also applied to the shipping charges.If an item is returned for a refund, a refund for the taxes paid on the original purchase will also be received.
vi. COUNTERFEITS
Ensure your Birkenstock product is authentic by purchasing on www.birkenstock.com/us or through an authorized Birkenstock reseller.We partner with the finest independent and national retailers in the country to provide the highest level of customer service.
COUNTERFEITS
When you choose a Birkenstock shoe or sandal you’re not only choosing footwear that will last for years with proper care, but you also get the reassurance that your footwear has been produced following our strict manufacturing standards, environmental practices and use of natural, responsibly-sourced materials.All Birkenstock brand sandals and footbeds are made in Germany and our shoes and boots are made in Europe.
Counterfeits or copies are inevitably cheaply-made imitations that do not offer the same comfort, quality or assurances of genuine Birkenstock brand products. They can be made with questionable materials in unregulated factories.
AVOIDING COUNTERFEIT PRODUCT
The ONLY way to be absolutely sure that the item you are buying is a genuine Birkenstock is to purchase from Birkenstock.com/US or through an authorized Birkenstock dealer.Be wary of websites that offer “Birkenstock” products on sale or at deep discounts. If you are offered a “Birkenstock” at a price that seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Any website that offers to ship you Birkenstock products from another country into the U.S. is operating illegally. You may receive a counterfeit product or nothing at all.
Bottom line, be cautious and ONLY shop from authorized retailers.
