or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach
thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Miami-Dade County,
Florida, USA, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The
arbitration shall be conducted in the English language before and by a
single arbitrator selected by the parties. If the parties have not selected
an arbitrator within ten (10) days of written demand for arbitration, the
arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association
pursuant to the then current rules of that Association. The expenses of
arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties. The duty to
arbitrate shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

legal action against Service Provider in arbitration, Customer waives any
right or ability to be a class or collective action representative or to
otherwise participate in any putative or certified class, collective or
multi-party action or proceeding based on such a claim in which Service Provider or a related entity is a party.
The same applies to Service Provider 's legal actions against Customer.
Thus, Customer and Service Provider agree that each may bring claims in
arbitration against the other only in Customer or its individual capacity
and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class. Further,
unless both Customer and Service Provider agree otherwise, the arbitrator
may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise
preside over a representative or class proceeding.
