We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any part thereof at any time, in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to make changes to this Agreement, from time to time.

  1. Binding Arbitration and Choice of Law

The parties agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any dispute relating to the arbitrability of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement or any other dispute relating to arbitration), shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), rather than in a court of law. You agree that you are knowingly and voluntarily giving up your right to a trial and have your dispute heard by a judge or jury in a court of law. Any such dispute, claim, or controversy shall be arbitrated on an individual basis and shall not be joined or consolidated with a claim of any other party or class. You agree that the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by this Agreement and any other agreement that you have with us. You agree that the arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA, pursuant to the rules of the AAA. For more information on the rules, procedures, and fees of the AAA, please visit their website at http://www.adr.org. The foregoing shall not preclude either party from seeking any injunctive or other equitable relief in Federal or State court for protection of intellectual property rights.

This Agreement, including binding arbitration, will be governed by the law of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. If any dispute, controversy, or claim cannot be resolved in binding arbitration between the parties, then it shall be submitted for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and the Federal Courts in and for the Southern District of Florida, and the parties hereby submit that exclusive venue shall lie with such courts, and the parties hereby agree to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that it is the intent of the parties that arbitration and litigation, if any, between the parties will be of the parties’ individual claims, and that none of their respective claims may be arbitrated or litigated on a class-wide basis.

  1. Third-Party Links

The Services may contain links to other websites and online resources. A link to a third party’s website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it. We are not responsible or liable for any damage or loss related to your use of any third-party website. You should always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of a third-party website before using it.

  1. Entire Agreement

This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties regarding the use of the Services. You agree that there are no other representations or obligations regarding your access or use of the Services, other than those reflected in this Agreement and that you are not relying on any other representations regarding your access or use of the Services, other than those reflected in this Agreement.

  1. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or unenforceable in any proceeding, such provision shall be severed and shall be inoperative, and, provided that the fundamental terms and conditions of this Agreement remain legal and enforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

  1. Force Majeure

Any failure or delay in performance by either party shall be excused if and to the extent caused by an Act of God (fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane, or other natural disaster), war or civil disorder, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities, terrorism, government actions, lockout or interruption or failure of electricity of network service, or other cause beyond the reasonable control of the parties.
