ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY—IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
You agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use—including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms of Use—or the use of the Website (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration between you and the Company, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights or where a party’s conduct may cause the other irreparable injury. The provisions of this Section constitute the parties’ written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and shall be heard by a single arbitrator pursuant to the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “AAA Rules”), except as modified by this Section.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, a party must submit the Dispute by making a demand for arbitration, as detailed at https://www.adr.org, and simultaneously send a copy of the completed demand to the other party. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions, unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary. If the arbitrator grants the request or determines that an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will proceed in Hillsborough County, Florida, U.S.A., unless the Company agrees that the matter should proceed in the county where you reside.

The arbitrator will apply and be bound by these Terms of Use, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Liability of the Company and Its Licensors” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. You and the Company also agree that the arbitrator may not award multiple or punitive damages. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
EACH PARTY SHALL BRING ANY DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. IN ADDITION, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE PROVISIONS.

MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms of Use shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of law principles. These Terms of Use, as they may be amended from time to time, completely and exclusively state the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Website, and no other terms that may have been communicated to you in any manner shall have any force or effect. Any cause of action you may have with respect to the Website must commence within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is forever barred. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court, you and the Company: (a) agree that any such Dispute may only be instituted in a state or federal court located in Hillsborough County, Florida, U.S.A., and waive any defenses or objections based on the jurisdiction, venue, or convenience of this exclusive venue; (b) irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for resolution of such Disputes; and (c) HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

If any part of these Terms of Use is illegal or unenforceable, the illegal or unenforceable part shall be construed to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties. The other provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship exists between you and the Company as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website.

The Company’s electronically stored copy of these Terms of Use will be deemed to be the true, complete, valid, authentic, and enforceable copy, and you agree that you will not contest the admissibility or enforceability of the Company’s copy of these Terms of Use in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use.

A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

The Company’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of the provision. Neither a course of dealing or conduct between you and the Company nor any trade practices shall be deemed to modify these Terms of Use. 
The Company may assign its rights and duties under these Terms of Use at any time to any third party without notice. You may not assign these Terms of Use or any of your rights or obligations hereunder—whether directly or indirectly, by merger, operation of law, transfer of entity ownership, or otherwise—without the prior written consent of the Company. Any attempted assignment in violation of these Terms of Use will be void.
