9. Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability

Your use of this website and Content is at your own risk. Content may become inaccurate as a result of developments after its publication on these Sites. We assume no responsibility to keep Content current or to correct inaccuracies or errors in Content. The Content on these Sites and the operation of them are provided “as is,” and we disclaim all representations or warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. Certain jurisdictions may not permit certain disclaimers of warranties. In such case, we disclaim warranties to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law.

WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, for damages of any kind including, but not limited to, any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, and/or exemplary damages caused by, arising out of, and/or in any way connected with functionality or operation of, access to, use of, or reliance on the Sites or the Content (even if we or our representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages) or that are caused by and/or arise in connection with mistakes or omissions in, or delays in transmission of, information to or from the Sites, interruptions in telecommunications connections to the Sites, or viruses that may infect your computer equipment or other property, whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of God, telecommunications failure, theft, or destruction of, or unauthorized access to the Sites or the Content. This limitation of liability may be different in connection with specific products and services offered by us. Some states do not allow the limitation of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify us, our affiliates, employees, and officers of each, from and against any and all third-party claims, debts, losses, liabilities, demands, obligations, actions, and causes of action, alleged claims or litigation, damages, judgments, judgments for damages, fines, penalties, expenses, and costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by, arising out of, or resulting from your use of the Sites or the Content in a manner not expressly authorized by these Terms or that violates these Terms, any law, or the rights of a third party.

11. Dispute Resolution: Mandatory Binding Individual Arbitration and Class and Collective Action Waiver

The exclusive means of resolving any claim related to your use of the Sites or these Terms shall be BINDING ARBITRATION. Except as provided below in the case of a Mass Filing, the arbitration will be administered by JAMS under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. If you are a consumer, as defined by JAMS in its Consumer Minimum Standards, you may request that the arbitration hearing be conducted in the area in which you reside. Otherwise, the hearing (if any) shall take place in Broward County, Florida, United States of America.

You agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any claims by contacting us in writing (the “Claims Notice”). After receipt of a Claims Notice, we may request an individualized video or telephone conference which both parties will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). If we are not able to resolve your claims within sixty (60) days of receiving the Claims Notice, you may seek relief through arbitration, as set forth in this section. You agree that you will not take any legal action, including any demand for arbitration, until after the expiration of this 60-day dispute resolution period.

EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT, TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY COVERED CLAIM.

If, at any time, twenty-five (25) or more claimants (including you) submit demands or seek to file demands for arbitration raising similar claims against us, and such circumstances meet the definition and criteria of Mass Filings (“Mass Filing”) set forth in National Arbitration & Mediation's (“NAM”) Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM's Mass Filing Rules,” available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), you and we agree that JAMS shall not serve as the arbitration administrator and that instead NAM shall administer any such Mass Filing and the NAM Mass Filing Rules in effect at the time such claim is filed shall apply. You agree that throughout this process, the parties' counsel shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures, including the possibility of procedural consolidation of similar claims for arbitration, based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You acknowledge and agree that by electing to participate in a Mass Filing, the adjudication of your dispute might be delayed.

You and we agree that each party values the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wishes to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between the parties. You and we acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States and the State of Florida, without giving effect to conflict of law principles thereof. Subject to Section 11, you hereby consent and submit to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Broward County, Florida.

13. Compliance with Law

We provide our Sites in accordance with United States law. By using our Sites or providing us with any information through the Sites, you acknowledge that our Sites are subject to United States law and that other countries and jurisdictions may not provide the same rights or protections as those in the United States or in the country where you reside or are a citizen.
