13. Dispute Resolution
ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BELOW, YOU AND

RESOLVE BY BINDING ARBITRATION ANY
CONTROVERSY, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, DISPUTE OR
DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US, WHETHER
ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF
THIS AGREEMENT (ANY "CLAIM"). THIS INCLUDES, BUT
IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM, DISPUTE OR DISAGREEMENT
ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING
TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) THE
INTERPRETATION, EXECUTION, ADMINISTRATION,
AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION OF THE AGREEMENT;
(2) ANY SERVICE ACCOUNT; (3) ANY CHARGE OR COST
INCURRED PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT; (4) THE
COLLECTION OF ANY AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THE
AGREEMENT OR ANY SERVICE ACCOUNT; (5) ANY
ALLEGED CONTRACT OR TORT ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE AGREEMENT, ANY
SERVICE ACCOUNT, ANY TRANSACTION, ANY
ADVERTISEMENT OR SOLICITATION, OR YOUR
BUSINESS, INTERACTION OR RELATIONSHIP WITH US;
(6) ANY BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THE
AGREEMENT; (7) ANY STATEMENTS OR
REPRESENTATIONS MADE TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO
THE AGREEMENT, ANY SERVICE ACCOUNT, ANY
TRANSACTION, ANY ADVERTISEMENT OR
SOLICITATION, OR YOUR BUSINESS, INTERACTION OR
RELATIONSHIP WITH US; OR (8) ANY OF THE
FOREGOING ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH
OR RELATING TO ANY AGREEMENT WHICH RELATES
TO THE AGREEMENT, ANY SERVICE ACCOUNT, ANY
TRANSACTION OR YOUR BUSINESS, INTERACTION OR
RELATIONSHIP WITH US. IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO
ARBITRATE, THE CLAIM SHALL BE SETTLED BY
BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT ("FAA").
This agreement to arbitrate shall include any Claim involving
our officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives,
contractors, subcontractors, parent, subsidiaries, affiliates,
successors, assigns, any third party that assigned any
agreements to us and any of the respective employees,
officers, agents or directors of such affiliates or third parties,
and any such Claim against any of those parties may be
joined or consolidated with any related Claim against us in a
single arbitration proceeding. In addition, if we become a
party in any lawsuit that you have with any third party,
whether through intervention by us or by motion made by
you or any third party, we may elect to have all claims in that
lawsuit between you and such third party to be resolved by
BINDING ARBITRATION under this agreement.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American
Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial
Arbitration Rules and its Supplementary Procedures For The
Resolution Of Consumer-Related Disputes (the "Arbitration
Rules") in effect at the time the demand for arbitration is
filed. In the event of a conflict between the Arbitration Rules
and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control, except
that, in the event that the AAA determines that any provision
of this Agreement does not comply with applicable standards
stated in the AAA's Consumer Due Process Protocol, the
standards of the Protocol shall control. We will tell you how
to contact the AAA and how to get a copy of the Arbitration
Rules without cost if you ask us in writing to do so. Or, you
may contact the AAA directly at 1-800- 778-7879 (toll free) or
at www.adr.org.
If the AAA's Supplemental Procedures for Consumer-
Related Disputes apply to your Claim and if your Claim for
actual damages does not exceed $10,000, you shall be
responsible for paying one-half of the arbitrator's fees up to a
maximum of $125. If your Claim for actual damages exceeds
$10,000 but does not exceed $75,000, you shall be
responsible for paying one-half of the arbitrator's fees up to a
maximum of $375. For any Claim that does not exceed
$75,000, we will pay all other arbitrator's fees and costs
imposed by the administrator of the arbitration.
If your Claim is a consumer-related claim for actual damages
that exceeds $75,000, or if it is a non-monetary consumer-
related Claim, or if it is not a consumer-related Claim, you
shall be responsible for paying the administrative costs and
arbitrator's fees as provided in the AAA's Commercial Fee
Schedule. Additionally, in the case of a consumer-related
Claim for actual damages in excess of $75,000 or for non-
monetary damages, and in the case of any non-consumer-
related Claim, the prevailing party in an arbitration
proceeding may seek to recover its expenses for
administrative fees and arbitrator(s)' fees from the other
party in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The final
award by the arbitrator(s) pertaining to such a Claim can
apportion the administrative fees and expenses and
arbitrators' fees between you and us as part of the award, as
the arbitrator(s) determines is appropriate.
The fees and costs stated in this Agreement are subject to
any amendments to the Arbitration Rules and fee and cost
schedules of the AAA. The fee and costs schedule in effect
at the time you submit your Claim shall apply. The Arbitration
Rules permit you to request a deferral or reduction of the
administrative fees of arbitration if paying them would cause
you extreme hardship. Each party also has the option of
filing an action in small claims court for any Claim or
disputes within the scope of the small claims court's
jurisdiction.
The arbitration of any Claim of $100,000 or greater shall be
conducted by a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitration of
any Claim of a lesser amount shall be conducted by one
arbitrator. The arbitrator(s) shall be selected from the AAA's
panel of arbitrators by mutual agreement between you and
us. If we cannot agree on the arbitrator(s), the AAA shall
appoint the arbitrator(s). EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, NO
CLAIM MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER DISPUTE OR
LAWSUIT, OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THE ARBITRATION
OF ANOTHER CLAIM, OR RESOLVED ON BEHALF OF A
CLASS OF SIMILARLY SITUATED PERSONS, OR
BROUGHT AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR ON
ANOTHER SIMILAR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. All
statutes of limitation, defenses, and attorney-client and other
privileges that would apply in a court proceeding shall apply
in the arbitration. Any in-person arbitration hearing will be
held in the federal judicial district embracing the Middle
District of Florida.
Any dispute regarding whether a particular controversy is
subject to arbitration, including any claim of
unconscionability and any dispute over the scope or validity
of this agreement to arbitrate disputes or of this entire
Agreement, shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). The
arbitrator(s) shall establish such reasonable procedures as
may be necessary for the reasonable exchange of
information between the parties prior to such arbitration. In
rendering an award, the arbitrator(s) shall apply applicable
contract terms, statutes and legal precedent and shall follow
the Federal Rules of Evidence, enforce applicable privileges,
and employ applicable burdens of proof.
The arbitrator(s) shall award only such relief as a court of
competent jurisdiction could properly award under applicable
law. The arbitrator's findings, reasoning, decision, and award
shall be set forth in writing and shall be based upon and be
consistent with the law of the jurisdiction that applies to the
Agreement. Judgment on the arbitration award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction.
In the event that the arbitration results in an award which
imposes an injunction on you or on us, or contains a
monetary award in excess of two hundred fifty thousand
dollars ($250,000.00), the award shall be reviewable on
appeal initiated within 30 days of the award by a panel of
three new arbitrators selected to hear the appeal under the
procedure for appointment from the national roster as
provided by Commercial Arbitration Rule 11. Such review
shall apply the substantive and procedural standards
normally applying to an appeal of a judgment from a trial
court of competent jurisdiction. However, if the award does
not impose an injunction on you or on us or contain a money
award in excess of two hundred fifty thousand dollars
($250,000.00), then the award shall not be appealable and
shall only be subject to such challenges as would otherwise
be permissible under the FAA.
This agreement to arbitrate does not limit the right of you or
us, whether before, during or after the pendency of any
arbitration proceeding, to exercise self-help remedies such
as set-off, repossession, trustee's sales and the like. This
agreement to arbitrate does not limit the right of you or us,
whether before or during the pendency of any arbitration
proceeding to bring an action (individually, and not on behalf
of a class) to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies or
injunctive relief (other than a stay of arbitration) to protect the
rights or property of the party seeking such relief. However,
the arbitrator(s) shall have the power to vacate and/or stay
any such proceedings or orders granting provisional or
ancillary remedies or injunctive relief, upon application by
you or us. The taking by either you or us of any of the self-
help remedies or by filing any action in court, including but
not limited to the actions described in the preceding
sentence, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to
elect BINDING ARBITRATION of any Claim upon the filing
of a counterclaim or the like by either you or us in response
to any such action.
You and we specifically acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement evidences a "transaction involving commerce"
under the FAA, and hereby waive and relinquish any right to
claim otherwise.
Should the AAA be unavailable, unable or unwilling to accept
and administer the arbitration of any Claim, or any appellate
proceeding, as applicable, or otherwise refuse or decline to
accept and administer the arbitration of any Claim, or any
appellate proceeding, as applicable - in whole or in part and
for any reason whatsoever - this agreement to arbitrate shall
not fail or be invalidated as a result. Rather, in that instance,
any party to the Claim may then petition a court of
competent jurisdiction under 9 U.S.C. § 5 to appoint the
arbitrator(s). Upon consideration of such a 9 U.S.C. § 5
petition, should the court decline or refuse to appoint the
arbitrator(s), then and only then and within 30-days of a final
and non-appealable decision on the matter from such court,
you and we shall each respectively pick one arbitrator, and
those two arbitrators shall then, by mutual agreement and
within 30-days of the selection of the second of them, select
a third arbitrator. The third arbitrator so selected shall then
arbitrate the Claim as the sole arbitrator, except with respect
to a Claim for $100,000 or greater, in which case all three
arbitrators so selected shall arbitrate the claim together, with
the award and all pre-award decisions made by majority
vote. In the case of any arbitration not administered by the
AAA, the arbitrator(s) shall still be bound by all applicable
provisions of this agreement to arbitrate and the Federal
Arbitration Act. They further shall administer and conduct the
arbitration under the Arbitration Rules, to the extent such
rules may be practicably applied to an arbitration not
administered by the AAA.
If any term or provision of this agreement to arbitrate any
and all disputes, and waiver of jury trial, is held to be invalid
or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced
without regard to the invalid or unenforceable term or
provision; provided, that if you or we seek to bring a joined,
consolidated, or class action for arbitration, and if the
foregoing prohibition against the arbitration of joined,
consolidated or class actions is held by an authority of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the
arbitration agreement between you and us shall be deemed
inapplicable to such joined, consolidated or class action, to
the effect that any permitted and lawful joined, consolidated
or class action shall be adjudicated in accordance with the
provisions of applicable law and shall not be resolved
through arbitration (provided further, that the jury trial waiver
shall, in any event, remain in full force and effect to the
fullest extent permitted by law). This agreement to arbitrate
any and all disputes, and waiver of jury trial, shall survive the
termination of services under this agreement and/or the
closing of your Service Account(s) and shall also survive as
to any Claim covered within the scope of this Agreement.
WHETHER ANY CONTROVERSY IS ARBITRATED OR
SETTLED BY A COURT, YOU AND WE VOLUNTARILY
AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CONTROVERSY TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.
