4. Legal Defense of a Claim. We have control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it), unless we direct you to control the defense. You and we must cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim.

You hereby waive any right to seek another forum or venue because of improper or inconvenient forum.

The parties will first meet and negotiate with each other in good faith to try to resolve all disputes between the parties relating to these terms.
2. Litigation Election. Either party may elect to litigate the following type of case or controversy: (1) an action seeking equitable relief, or (2) a suit to compel compliance with this dispute resolution provision.
3. Mediation. If the parties cannot settle a dispute through negotiation within a period of 30 days, then either party may, by notice to the other party and the American Arbitration Association, demand mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties will conduct the mediation in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Each party will bear its own costs in mediation and the parties will share equally between them all third-party mediation costs unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
4. Arbitration
  1. If the parties fail to settle all disputes within 30 days after service of a written demand for mediation, the parties will settle any unresolved dispute arising out of these terms, the Website, or the services by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. A single arbitrator will preside over the arbitration and issue a final award on all issues submitted to arbitration. The parties will conduct the arbitration at a place located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The parties will share equally the costs of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, and each party will bear the costs associated with its case, subject to the prevailing party's right to recover costs and fees under these terms.
  2. This section and the arbitrator's authority to grant relief are subject to (1) the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16, et seq.; (2) these terms; and (3) the American Arbitration Association Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes. The arbitrator may not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in these terms, and the arbitrator's decision will be final and binding. Any court of competent jurisdiction may confirm and enforce the arbitrator's award. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern any post-award proceedings.
  3. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under these terms without the advance written consent of both parties.
5. Waiver of Jury Trial. Both parties hereby waive the right to a trial by jury for any dispute arising out of these terms, the Website, or the services. This waiver will be enforceable up to and including the first day of trial, and even if the parties waive arbitration.
Class Action Waiver
1. The parties must conduct any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum only on an individual basis. Neither you nor we will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. The parties will not combine any arbitration or proceeding with another without the advanced written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
Right to Injunctive Relief
1. Both parties acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide an aggrieved party with full payment if the other party violates these terms, and that an aggrieved party may seek injunctive relief if a violation happens, besides seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity.
Limited Time to Bring Claims
1. A party to these terms must bring any claim that party may have against the other party that arises out of these terms, the Website, or the services within one-year after the claim arises. If a party fails to bring any claim that party may have against the other party within this one-year period, the claim is permanently barred.
