(BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR SUBSIDIARY AND PARENT COMPANIES OR AFFILIATES IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY SUCH STATE LAW.) YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY USER. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SITE, ANY MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES ON THE SITE, OR WITH ANY OF THE SITE’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SITE AND THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND/OR MATERIALS.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
11.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.
11.1
Generally. Except as described in Section 11.2 (Exceptions) and 11.3 (Opt-Out), you and NEllc agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.11.2
Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between you and us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.11.3
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 11 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending an email to NEllc. Once NEllc receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 11 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 11.11 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.11.4
Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between you and us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting NEllc.11.5
Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). NEllc’s address for Notice is: NEllc, Attention: NEllc Legal Department, United Kingdom 71-75, Shelton Street, Covent Garden London. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name and email address of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or NEllc may commence an arbitration proceeding.11.6
Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of NEllc’s registration unless we agree otherwise or you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or NEllc must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.11.7
No Class Actions. YOU AND NEllc AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS PARTNER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and NEllc agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.11.9
Enforceability. If Section 11.7 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 11 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if NEllc receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 11 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 11.11 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.11.10
Consumer Protection. You may have rights under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by these Terms. Nothing in these Terms is intended to supersede your statutory rights as a consumer.11.11
Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of law principles. You and NEllc submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Miami Dade county, Florida for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms. We operate the Service from our offices in Florida.11.12
Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your personal information. The Privacy Policy will be reviewed and updated from time to time. When we do make material changes, we will give notice via the NEllc Site or by otherwise notifying you.
