THIS SECTION HAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON YOUR RIGHTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE AMONG A GUEST AND A HOST) GET RESOLVED. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.
18.1. Informal Resolution
If a dispute arises between you and us, we strive to resolve the dispute fairly, quickly, and efficiently. Accordingly, you agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of our Site, our Policies, or previous versions of this Agreement or our Policies (“Claim”) by contacting us at support@connecthedocks.com before taking any other action. If we are not able to resolve your Claim within sixty (60) calendar days after we receive written notice from you of your Claim, you may seek relief for your Claim through arbitration or small claims court, as detailed below.
18.2. Governing Law & Venue
This Agreement and the Policies, and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Florida, USA, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. You agree that unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing or as otherwise provided by Section 12.3 below, any Claim shall be brought in a court located in Orange County, Florida, USA.
18.3. Mandatory Arbitration
Any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert a Claim on an individual basis in small claims court if the Claim qualifies for small claims jurisdiction, which, in Orange County, Florida, USA, is a claim of $5,000 or less, excluding costs, interest, and attorneys’ fees. Binding arbitration also applies to Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms of Service, regardless of whether prior versions of the Terms of Service required arbitration.
Arbitration is less formal than a court proceeding. It is presided over by a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court, and the arbitrator should apply this Agreement and the Policies as a court would. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction. Court review of the arbitration decision is limited.
Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its AAA Consumer Rules by an arbitrator knowledgeable in web-based and e-commerce disputes. Except as provided herein, the Rules will govern payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees. If your total Claim seeks less than $10,000.00, we will reimburse you for the amount of the filing fees you pay to the AAA and we will pay half of the arbitrator’s fees. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed location. We may attend the arbitration by phone, videoconference, or other remote method.
18.4. Initiating Arbitration of Claim
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claim to:
428 Lakeview Ave
Winter Park, FL 32789
If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. The AAA’s rules and filing instructions are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, and except for New Jersey residents, any Claim must be filed within two (2) years from the date on which such Claim arose or accrued. All claims you bring against us must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. All claims filed or brought that are not in accordance with to this section shall be considered improperly filed. Should a claim be filed by either you or us in manner that is not in accordance with this section, the other party may seek to recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $5,000.00, provided that the other party has been notified in writing of the improperly filed claim, received fourteen days to withdraw such claim, and fails to do so.
18.5. WAIVER OF CLASS RIGHT & JURY RIGHT
ANY AND ALL PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

19.3. Severability
The Terms of Service shall be deemed severable. In the event that any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions. The severed provisions shall be replaced by a provision approximating as much as possible the original wording and intent.
