These Terms and any disputes related in any way to your access to and use of this Site and/or Services shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the United States and of the State of Florida, without regard to conflicts of law principles or rules thereof. Any legal action arising out of or related to these Terms or your access to and use of this Site and/or its Services must be commenced within one year after the cause of action arises. WE AND YOU AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

WE AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND/OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND IN THE NAME OF AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON OR ENTITY AND THAT CLAIMS MUST PROCEED ON AN INDIVIDUAL AND NON-CLASS AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE BASIS.

We and you agree that this Section 11 shall be construed and interpreted under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et. seq.

Judgment may be entered on the arbitration award by a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Florida. You agree that Claims submitted to arbitration shall be decided in a single arbitration before a single arbitrator who must be on the AAA National Roster of Commercial Arbitrators and selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award the same damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees, and all other relief that a court can award. You acknowledge and agree that you voluntarily and knowingly entered into these Terms and chose to use the Site and the Services offered by it rather than companies that offer similar services and who may not have an arbitration agreement.
