You expressly agree that the Terms and any dispute, claim, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief between you and Gaumard arising out of or relating to these Terms, your visit to our Site, or to products or services obtained on or through the Web Site (collectively “Disputes”) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Miami-Dade County, State of Florida without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
Subject to the Binding Arbitration Section below, you and we irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in State of Florida, for all Disputes that are heard in court, including any Dispute involving Gaumard or its affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors, telecommunication providers, and content providers.
Binding Arbitration
You and Gaumard agree to submit all Disputes to confidential arbitration on an individual and purely bilateral, non-class/non-representative basis. Arbitration on an individual basis is the exclusive remedy for any Disputes which might otherwise be brought on a class, collective or representative basis between you and Gaumard. This agreement to arbitrate will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 (the “FAA”) and shall be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The arbitration shall take place in Miami, Florida, USA. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Gaumard shall select a mutually agreeable arbitrator from the AAA. Unless otherwise precluded by law, you and Gaumard shall each separately pay your or its own attorneys’ fees and costs. You agree that if any provision of this arbitration agreement is held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, that provision shall be struck from the agreement to arbitrate, and the remainder of the arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect consistent with applicable law. However, in the event the provisions above waiving or precluding class arbitration proceedings are found to be invalid, unenforceable, or void for any reason, the entire agreement to arbitrate shall be void. Notwithstanding the above, if the Dispute concerns a matter for injunctive or other similar relief that is appropriate under applicable law, we may seek such injunctive or other similar relief in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction, whether or not it is in the State of Florida.
Term and Termination
These Terms will remain in full force and effect as long as you continue to access or use the Site. We may, with or without prior notice, terminate any of the rights granted by these Terms without cause.

No Agency: Nothing contained in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between you and Gaumard. Waiver: Gaumard’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision or of any other rights or provisions in these Terms.
Severability: If a court or tribunal should find that one or more rights or provisions set forth in these Terms are invalid, you agree that the remainder of the Terms will remain in full force and effect and that the invalid provision will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. We will amend or replace such provisions with ones that are valid and enforceable, and which achieve, to the extent possible, our original objectives and intent as reflected in the original provisions.
