These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed
within the State of Florida,
without regard to its conflict of law
principles.
14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of
any dispute, controversy, or claim related to
these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and
collectively, the "Disputes")
brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and
collectively, the "Parties"),
the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate
any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal
negotiations commence upon written notice from one
Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute
through informal negotiations, the Dispute
(except those Disputes expressly excluded below)
will be finally and exclusively resolved by
binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT
THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE
IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The
arbitration shall be commenced and conducted
under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer
Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA)
website. Your arbitration fees and your share of
arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the
AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate,
limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may
be conducted in person, through the submission
of documents, by phone, or online. The
arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but
need not provide a statement of reasons unless
requested by either Party. The arbitrator must
follow applicable law, and any award may be
challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
Except where otherwise required by the
applicable AAA rules or
applicable law, the arbitration will take place in
Hillsborough, Florida.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties
may litigate in court to compel arbitration,
stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to
confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on
the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court
rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be
commenced or prosecuted in the
state and federal courts
located in Hillsborough,Florida, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive
all defenses of
lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens
with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal
courts. Application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer
Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded
from these Legal Terms.
In no event
shall any Dispute brought by either Party
related in any way to the Services be commenced
more than one (1) years
after the cause of action arose. If
this provision is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to
arbitrate any Dispute falling within that
portion of this provision found to be illegal or
unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided
by a court of competent jurisdiction within the
courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the
Parties agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be
limited to the Dispute between the Parties
individually. To the full extent permitted by law,
(a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other
proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for
any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis
or to utilize class action
procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for
any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative
capacity on behalf of the general public or any other
persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and
Arbitration
The Parties agree
that the following Disputes are not subject to the
above provisions concerning informal negotiations
binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to
enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of,
any of the intellectual property rights of a Party;
(b) any Dispute related to, or arising from,
allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy,
or unauthorized use; and
(c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision
is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither
Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within
that portion of this provision found to be illegal or
unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a
court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed
for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit
to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
