22. Class Action Waiver; Arbitration. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY.
    
    In the event of any controversy between the parties, including but not limited to any claims, dispute, suite, demand, cross claim, counterclaim, or third-party complaint (where statutory, in tort, or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this agreement or its performance, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity, including the validity, scope or applicability of this provision to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration.
    
    This arbitration is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. and not by any state rule or statute governing arbitration. Any and all arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
    
    THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ARBITRATION SHALL BE before a single arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class or mass action. Further, the parties agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of more than one person's claims.
    The Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section. (The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.)
    
    The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section, and according to the arbitration service’s fee schedule and the service’s current applicable rules and procedures EXCEPT: 1) that the parties expressly waive the applicability of any rule governing class or mass action; and 2) that the parties agree that any specific arbitration procedure provided for herein shall apply to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall be neutral and independent and shall comply with the selected arbitration service’s code of ethics. Additionally, the arbitrator shall be guided by and apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and “governing substantive” law.
    
    The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, but subject to review in accordance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations governing arbitration awards. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties.
    
    The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    
    EACH PARTY SHALL BE EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY ARBITRATION/ARBITRATOR FEES, AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT FAILURE TO PAY ANY SHARE OF THE ARBITRATION FEE SHALL RESULT IN A DEFAULT AGAINST THE PARTY FAILING TO PAY.
    
    If a party fails to comply with the arbitrator’s award, the other party may petition a court having jurisdiction to enforce the award. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees unless such fees are expressly provided for by applicable law. If the arbitrator determines that reasonable attorneys’ fees are to be awarded under applicable law, the parties agree that the arbitrator will also determine the amount under the award for attorneys’ fees. In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration, fails to comply with the arbitrator’s award or unsuccessfully challenges the arbitrator’s award the other party is entitled to any costs and expenses incurred, including a reasonable attorneys’ fee for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award. You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention do so within 60 days of your purchase. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.
    
    BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS: (1) THAT BOTH PARTIES GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY; (2) THAT BOTH PARTIES GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO APPEAL FROM THE ARBITRATOR’S RULING EXCEPT FOR A NARROW RANGE OF APPEALABLE ISSUES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN 9 U.S.C. § 16; AND (3) THAT DISCOVERY MAY BE SEVERELY LIMITED BY THE ARBITRATOR, AND SHOULD THE ARBITRATOR DECIDE TO ALLOW FULL DISCOVERY, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT EXCEED DISCOVERY LIMITATIONS SET FORTH BY THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE.
