13.1 You agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 13. is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property as provided below.
13.2 Initial Dispute Resolution. In the event of any controversy or dispute between Ronary and you arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, you agree that before taking any formal action (of any nature) you will contact us at legal@ronary.com and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an Account). You and Ronary agree to use reasonable efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with Ronary, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
13.3 Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims (except as provided below) subject to these Terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Ronary Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.
13.4 Arbitrator’s Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered 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.
13.5 Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED SOLELY THEREIN, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE TERMS OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER ENACTED THAT IS BASED ON OR SIMILAR TO THE UNIFORM COMPUTER INFORMATION TRANSACTIONS ACT DRAFTED BY THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMMISSIONERS ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS SHALL NOT APPLY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 12.2 AND 12.3, AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION WHICH MAY BE BROUGHT RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY.
13.6 Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND RONARY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
13.7 Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in any state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).
13.8 Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of a party’s proprietary rights, no action, regardless of form, arising out of or relating to these Terms may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.
13.9 Unenforceability. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

A Force Majeure event means, in relation to either party, any event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of that party, including if such failure is caused by acts of God, fire, explosion, flood, epidemic, pandemic, strikes, revolutions, war or threat of war, acts of terrorism, national emergency, riot or other civil disturbance, governmental action, acts or failures to act of governmental authorities, governmental laws or regulations, lack or failure of electrical or telecommunications facilities, including, with-out limitation, failure of the public Internet, or any other events or circumstances not within the reasonable control of the party affected, whether or not dissimilar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the party suffering such delay notifies the other party of the delay within a reasonable period after it learns of the delay. A party affected by the Force Majeure event shall immediately notify the other party in writing of the event, giving sufficient details thereof and the likely duration of the delay. The affected party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance of its obligations under these Terms as soon as reasonably possible.
