11. ARBITRATION

For any claim that you may have with TCC, you agree to contact us first in writing within one (1) year of the date that such claim first arose, or such claim is forever waived by you.  You agree that we will first attempt to resolve the claim informally. We each agree to negotiate any claim in good faith.  However, if TCC is unable to resolve the claim with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of, in connection with, or relating to these Terms, through binding arbitration.  The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will arbitrate all claims or disputes and will adhere to the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. Unless otherwise agreed to by you and TCC, the arbitration will be conducted in the county chosen by TCC.  Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules, except that TCC will pay for your reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000 and is non-frivolous (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).  The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.  

You agree that by entering into these terms, you and TCC are each waiving the right to a trial by jury.  Additionally, we each agree that any claims or proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis.  Neither you, nor any other user can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.  

12. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.  We each agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Miami-Dade County, Florida or the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, for any actions not subject to Section 11 (Arbitration).

The Service is controlled and operated from the United States, and we make no representations that they are appropriate or available for use in other locations.
