Governing Law; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Jurisdiction and Venue
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to agreements made and entirely performed within Florida, without resort to its conflict of law provisions or any other rule or interpretation that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO
FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THE
ARBITRATION TERMS PROVIDED BELOW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPT OUT SECTION BELOW.
You and we agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim or controversy between you and us or our officers, directors, employees or agents, that arises out of these Terms, or the use of the Grublr Mobile App, the Site or the Services, regardless of legal theory, and includes claims that accrued before the date you entered into these Terms as well as claims relating to the interpretation, validity, enforcement or scope of the Agreement to arbitrate disputes contained in this section. The term “Dispute” is to be interpreted in the broadest sense allowed by law. The only disputes excluded from this broad provision are intellectual property claims and claims by us for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below.
Regardless of how, when or where you access or use the Grublr Mobile App, the Site or the Services, by agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with us as follows:
Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to arbitration or litigation. You can reach us by email at [support@grublr.com].. Except for intellectual property claims and claims by us seeking injunctive or other equitable relief requiring immediate action, the parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve all disputes in good faith negotiations between them, which both agree is a precondition to either initiating an arbitration or lawsuit.
Binding Arbitration. Unless you opt out of arbitration in accordance with the terms provided above, if we cannot resolve the Dispute with you within thirty (30) days of when we start informal Dispute resolution, then you and we agree that the Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration which may be begun by either you or us and shall be subject to confidentiality. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect except as modified by these Terms, and excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions. Said rules are posted at https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Commercial%20Rules.pdf. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all such disputes and has the power to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Opt-Out of Arbitration. You may opt out of the binding arbitration described in this section by sending us written notice that you are opting out of binding arbitration (an “Arbitration Opt-Out Notice”) by email at [support@grublr.com] or regular mail at [Warden Industries, LLC, 2050 Royal Palm Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33432] within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms. If you don’t provide us with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within such thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except with regard to the exceptions noted in the “Exceptions” section below. Any Arbitration Opt-Out Notice received after such thirty (30) day period shall not be valid or enforceable.
In the event that you provide to us a timely Arbitration Opt-Out Notice or the arbitration terms of these Terms are held not to be applicable, then you and we agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any Dispute will be the state and/or federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. In such event, you and we further waive the right to a jury trial.
Starting an Arbitration. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to the American Arbitration Association (see www.adr.org for the applicable address, or for online filing); and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at [Warden Industries, LLC, 2050 Royal Palm Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33432] and a copy by email to [support@grublr.com].
You and we each understand that, absent the arbitration provision in this section, each has the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You also acknowledge that unless you opt out of arbitration in accordance with the opt-out terms provided above, you are giving up the right to a jury trial and understand that the costs of arbitration and right to pre-trial discovery is more limited than many courts permit. The parties will either select one mutually acceptable arbitrator or, if the parties do not agree to a single arbitrator, each party shall select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators selected by the parties shall select a third arbitrator, and the arbitration shall be held before the three arbitrators, and shall be decided by vote of the three arbitrators with a vote of the majority of the arbitrators required for a decision. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPT-OUT TERMS PROVIDED ABOVE, YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE GRUBLR MOBILE APP, THE SITE OR THE SERVICES AND ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US, EXCEPT FOR THE EXCEPTIONS SPECIFIED BELOW WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED HEREIN.

THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY.
Location of Arbitration. You and we both agree that arbitration between us and you shall take place in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Class Action Waiver. You and we agree that any and all arbitrations shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and we expressly waive the right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis or any other representative basis.
