  1. GOVERNING LAW

 

These Terms of Use, including without limitation, your use of the Website and your use and purchase of 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.

 

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.  We’re here to help and would like to work with you directly to resolve any issues or disputes that you may have.  If we cannot resolve such dispute, you and NOT WHAT DEFINES US each agree that it will be resolved in a binding, confidential, individual and fair arbitration process, and not in court.

 

  1. BINDING ARBITRATION


If you and NOT WHAT DEFINES US 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 AAA website www.adr.org.  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 you or NOT WHAT DEFINES US.  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 Manatee County, Florida.  Except as otherwise provided herein, you and NOT WHAT DEFINES US 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 Manatee County, Florida, and you and NOT WHAT DEFINES US 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 Terms of Use.  If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor NOT WHAT DEFINES US 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 you and NOT WHAT DEFINES US agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

 

  1. RESTRICTIONS AGAINST JOINDER OF CLAIMS

You and NOT WHAT DEFINES US agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each claim individually.  YOU AND NOT WHAT DEFINES US HEREBY AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN YOUR OR NOT WHAT DEFINES US’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then, to the full extent allowable under applicable law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration, and (b) there is no right for any claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures, and (c) there is no right of authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.

  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF ITS LIABILITY IS VOID, PROHIBITED OR UNENFORCEABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER NOT WHAT DEFINES US NOR ITS AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS RESULTING FROM USE OR UNAVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION OR CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO DATA OR INFORMATION OF ANY KIND, DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, HARDWARE OR OTHER PROPERTY OF USER, PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COMPENSATORY OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH USE OF THE WEBSITE OR CONTENT, OR FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF $100 (IN THE AGGREGATE), EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms of Use and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Website or in respect to the Website constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.  Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.  These Terms of Use operate to the fullest extent permissible by law.  We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time.  We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.  If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.  There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Website.  You agree that these Terms of Use will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them.  You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms of Use and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms of Use.
