APPLICABLE LAW; NO WAIVER; SEVERABILITY

These Terms of Use, and the relationship between you and us, will be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Florida, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you and we nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to our intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.

GOVERNING JURISDICTION

ANY DISPUTE NOT INITIATED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT WILL BE LITIGATED BY EITHER PARTY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION ONLY IN THE United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida or, if such court would not have jurisdiction over the matter, then only in a Florida State court sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Each Party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts and agrees not to commence any legal action under or in connection with the subject matter of these TERMS OF USE in any other court or forum. Each Party waives any objection to the laying of the venue of any legal action brought under or in connection with the subject matter of these terms of use in the Federal or state courts sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and agrees not to plead or claim in such courts that any such action has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
