THE LIMITATIONS ON TYPES AND AMOUNTS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN MHCH AND YOU. THE DIGITAL OFFERINGS WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS. EACH OF THE LIMITATIONS ON TYPES AND AMOUNTS OF DAMAGES IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

XII. Disputes and Limitations on Time to File Claims

If any claim, cause of action, controversy, proceeding, or other dispute arises relating to these Terms, any Digital Offering, or MHCH (a “Dispute”), you agree to first give notice to MHCH and engage in good faith negotiations to attempt to resolve any such Dispute for at least 14 days, except that you or MHCH may skip this informal negotiation procedure for any Dispute enforcing, protecting, or concerning the validity of intellectual property rights.

ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER YOU NOR MHCH 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, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT CONSOLIDATED CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS OR ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. ALSO, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE PRECLUDED FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST MHCH BY SOMEONE ELSE.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration

You and MHCH agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Digital Offerings at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and MHCH, and not in a court of law.

You acknowledge and agree that you and MHCH are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. However, you and MHCH each retain the right to bring an individual action to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality, or other breach of these Terms for which equitable relief may be available.

Rules & Governing Law

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://adr.org/Mediation or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Unless both you and MHCH otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of California.

Process

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules, which must also include a detailed description of the party’s claim against the other party, the amount of damages sought to be recovered, and a copy of these Terms. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Location and Procedure

Unless you and MHCH agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in Miami, Florida. If either party’s claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and MHCH submit to the Arbitrator, unless either party requests a hearing, or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If a party’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by you and MHCH, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator will have no authority to award consequential, punitive, or other damages to the extent prohibited by these Terms and will have no authority to award other monetary relief not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The award may include equitable relief. The Arbitrator will not make any ruling, finding, or award that does not otherwise conform to the Terms. The arbitrator may render a summary disposition relative to all or some of the issues, provided that the responding party has had an adequate opportunity to respond to any such application for such disposition. Only declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded by the Arbitrator in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. The parties agree to treat all aspects of the arbitration as confidential, as provided in the AAA Rules. Before making any disclosure permitted by the rules, a party shall give written notice to the other party and afford such party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.

Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

Changes

Notwithstanding the aforementioned provisions of this Section titled “Arbitration” regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if MHCH materially changes the terms of this Section titled “Arbitration” after the date you first agreed to the Terms, you may reject any such change by providing MHCH written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail addressed to MHCH at 960 Alton Road, Miami Beach, FL 33149, Attn: General Counsel, or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to legal.notices@fsymh.com. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and MHCH in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Terms (or agreed to any subsequent changes to the Terms).

Severability and Survival

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, then: (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and, (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

XIV. Other Provisions

Choice of Law

These Terms, your use of Digital Offerings, and any dispute you may have with MHCH related to these Terms or the shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Florida, except as may be otherwise provided in the above Arbitration Agreement. Where permitted under this Section titled “Arbitration”, you agree to irrevocably submit in any legal proceeding relating to these Terms to a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Miami, Florida. The foregoing choice of law and forum selection provisions do not apply to the arbitration clause in the Section titled “Arbitration” or to any arbitrable disputes as defined therein. Instead, as described in the Section titled “Arbitration”, the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to any such disputes.

If any provision of these Terms are held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law. MHCH’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. This provision shall not affect the “Severability and Survivability” section of the Arbitration Agreement of these Terms. Applicable provisions of these Terms will continue in effect after termination or expiration of your Account or these Terms to the extent necessary, including those for billing adjustments and your payment obligations, indemnification, intellectual property ownership, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution.
