This Agreement comprises the entire agreement between You and Us with respect to all Services, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. This Agreement prevails over any of Your general terms and conditions regardless whether or when You submitted such terms. Provision of the Services to You does not constitute acceptance of any of Your terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend this Agreement.

If the Term is terminated by Us in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Agreement, You will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Term after the effective date of termination.

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, You may not sign up to use or access the Services with the intent to cancel such Services within the trial period. If We determine, in Our sole, reasonable discretion, that You signed up for the Services with the intent to cancel within the trial period, then You will pay to Us the greater of (i) Our reasonable estimate of damages to Us; or (ii) the applicable monthly fee for such Services.

No waiver by Us of any of the provisions of this Agreement is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by Us. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement operates, or may be construed, as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all civil actions, claims, disputes or proceedings arising out of or relating in any way to the performance, interpretation, validity or breach of this Agreement will be referred to final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in Okaloosa County, Florida, under the AAA’s rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Section 15(i)(ii). The arbitrator will be selected by You and Us and if You and We are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the arbitrator will be selected by the AAA. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by Law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive upon You and Us and Your and Our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may only be entered in the state or federal courts of record for Okaloosa County, Florida.
- Unless You and We agree otherwise, in the event that Section 15(i)(ii) of this Agreement is found not to apply as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order (including any injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement), any civil action or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the courts of record of the State of Florida in Okaloosa County or the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida. You and We consent to the jurisdiction of such court in any such civil action or legal proceeding and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action or legal proceeding in such court. Service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail, as provided in this Agreement, or in such other manner as may be provided under Laws.

YOU AND WE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU OR WE MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU OR WE MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT, AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF YOUR AND OUR CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OF THE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. NEITHER YOU NOR WE HAVE MADE OR RELIED UPON ANY ORAL REPRESENTATIONS TO OR BY THE OTHER REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION. YOU AND WE HAVE EACH READ AND UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT OF THIS JURY WAIVER PROVISION. YOU AND WE EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU AND WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 15(i)(iv), BY YOUR AND OUR OWN RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS.
