These terms and conditions of use (the “Terms of Use”) govern your use of the content and functions available through the papajohns.com domain name and our other websites and our apps on which these terms reside or are linked from (collectively the “Platform”) that are operated by Papa Johns International, Inc. or its affiliates (collectively “Papa Johns”). Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the Platform.

Binding Arbitration

These Terms of Use provide that all disputes, controversies, or claims arising between you and Papa Johns will be resolved by BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION.

Informal Dispute Resolution

We try to address any disputes without the need to initiate a formal legal case. You agree that prior to submitting any dispute or claim to arbitration for resolution, you and we agree to make a good faith effort to resolve it informally. To initiate this good faith effort to informally resolve a dispute you agree to notify us in writing at Papa John’s International, Inc., P.O. Box 99900, Louisville, Kentucky 40269-0900, of the nature of the dispute, the basis for your claims and the resolution that you are seeking, including any monetary amount, with as much detail as you can provide so that we can gain a sufficient understanding of the dispute. Within the sixty (60) days following our receipt of this notice, you and we agree to engage in good faith efforts to resolve the dispute, including, but not limited to, personally participating in a telephone call or videoconference with us within that sixty (60) days. You may have a lawyer attend the call with you if you wish. If the dispute is not resolved within that sixty (60) days (which period can be extended by agreement of the parties), you or we may commence an arbitration to resolve the dispute consistent with the process set forth below. Compliance with and completion of this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to commencing an arbitration. Failure to participate in good faith in this informal dispute resolution process is an absolute defense to any arbitration filed by you, or on your behalf, against us. You and we agree to toll any applicable statute of limitations and filing fee deadlines while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process from the date we receive your notice up to and including the date by which the parties agree the informal dispute resolution process has been exhausted.

Arbitration Agreement

Agreement to Arbitrate All Disputes. Except for the excluded claims and injunctive relief as explained below, you agree that any and all disputes, controversies, or claims arising between you and Papa Johns (each a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”), including but not limited to Claims arising out of or relating to the Platform, use of the Platform, these Terms and/or the Privacy Notice, shall be settled by binding and final arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator, who shall be selected pursuant to the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision, judgment, or award in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. The arbitrator shall apply Kentucky law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor all claims of privilege recognized at law. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the arbitrability of any Claims, the scope, applicability, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration agreement, and the interpretation, applicability, enforcement, formation of these Terms and/or the Privacy Notice. Further, the arbitrator has the authority and discretion to award the same damages and relief, including injunctive and declaratory relief, on an individual basis, that any court of competent jurisdiction can award to an individual, except for public injunctive relief as explained below in the discussion of excluded claims.

Class Action Waiver. You may not act as a class representative or private attorney general or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the Claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

Claims and Disputes Excluded from Mandatory Arbitration. As described herein, the following claims or disputes are excluded from the parties’ agreement to arbitrate: (i) qualifying small claims, (ii) claims for public injunctive relief, (iii) disputes regarding the interpretation or enforceability of the class action waiver agreed to herein, (iv) issues relating to the enforceability of the “Mass Arbitration Process Requirements.”

  • Small Claims. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Papa Johns from bringing qualifying claims in small claims court or transferring qualifying claims to small claims court. Either party may elect that a Claim be filed exclusively in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction by providing notice to the other party. In the event a Claim has already been filed in arbitration, the party who has filed that Claim will withdraw their Claim from arbitration within ten (10) days of receiving notice of the other party’s election to have the Claim pursued in or transferred to small claims court. The parties will then proceed with the Claim exclusively in small claims court.
  • Public injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, an arbitrator may not issue a “public injunction” and any such “public injunction” may be awarded only by a federal or state court. To that end, you and Papa Johns retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for public injunctive relief, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have related Claims submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms. If either party seeks a “public injunction” in court, all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any prayer or claim for a “public injunction” in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party’s claim or prayer for “public injunctive relief.” In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator.
  • Interpretation and Enforcement of Class Action Waiver. Issues relating to the interpretation or enforceability of the class action waiver will be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Enforceability of Mass Arbitration Process Requirements. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce this section regarding “Mass Arbitration Process Requirements” and, if necessary, to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Papa Johns.

Arbitration Costs and Procedures. If you initiate arbitration against us, you will not be responsible for professional fees for the arbitrator’s services or any other AAA administrative fees; this does not include, however, the filing fee you must pay to initiate the arbitration. If you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be cost-prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Papa Johns will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate. Pursuant to the AAA Rules, the arbitration shall proceed in a location determined by the arbitrator (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Mass Arbitration Process Requirements. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Papa Johns at or around the same time by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated (and your claim is one such claim), you understand and agree that the resolution of your Claim might be delayed. You also agree to the following process and application of the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule and Supplementary Rules. Regardless of the provisions in the arbitration agreement above about the prohibitive costs of individual arbitration for you, if your lawyer or their business partner (each a “Third Party Funder”) is directly or indirectly paying or advancing the arbitration fees and costs in a Mass Arbitration on your behalf, AAA shall have discretion to determine whether the total arbitration fees and costs due to AAA should be split evenly between the Third Party Funder(s), on the one hand, and us, on the other hand. AAA shall make or confirm this discretionary decision before the initiation of each batch, as set out below. In the final decision, the arbitrator can reevaluate and divide the arbitration fees and costs among the Third Party Funder(s) and us in amounts they see fit to ensure a fair division among the parties. Additionally, when permitted under applicable rules, you may be responsible for our arbitration fees and costs.

Twenty (20) claims shall be selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a first batching process, ten (10) of which will be selected by the claimants and ten (10) of which will be selected by Papa Johns. The remaining claims shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of the staged process described herein. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining claims after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, the parties shall participate in a global mediation session before a retired state or federal court judge, for which Papa Johns will pay the mediator’s fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining claims through mediation at this time, then forty (40) claims shall be selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second batching process, twenty (20) of which will be selected by the claimants and twenty (20) of which will be selected by Papa Johns. (If there are fewer than forty (40) claims remaining, all shall proceed.) The remaining claims shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of the staged process described herein. In any batching process, a single arbitrator shall preside over each proceeding, and only one proceeding may be assigned to each arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining claims after the conclusion of the forty (40) proceedings, the parties shall participate in another global mediation session before a retired state or federal court judge, for which Papa Johns will pay the mediator’s fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining claims in mediation at this time, this staged process shall continue with no more than one hundred (100) claims proceeding at any time in a staged order that is selected randomly or by Papa Johns, until all the coordinated claims, including your claim, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. At any time during these proceedings, we agree to participate in a global mediation session should your counsel request it in an effort to resolve all remaining claims. Any applicable statute of limitations on your claims and filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this section regarding “Mass Arbitration Process Requirements” from the time claims are selected for the first set of batching proceedings until the time your claim is selected to proceed in arbitration, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce this section regarding “Mass Arbitration Process Requirements” and, if necessary, to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Papa Johns. Should a court of competent jurisdiction decline to enforce these “Mass Arbitration Process Requirements,” you and we agree that your and our counsel shall engage in good faith and with the assistance of a Process Arbitrator to devise and implement procedures that ensure that arbitration remains efficient and cost-effective for all parties. Either party may engage with the AAA to address reductions in arbitration fees.

Enforcement and Invalidity. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor Papa Johns shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN 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 CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR PAPA JOHNS WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
