  1. Applicable Law; Time To File Claim. You agree that the laws of the state of Florida, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions, will govern this Agreement and any dispute that may arise between you and North Lake Communities or its affiliates and related entities (collectively, the “North Lake Parties”, or, individually, a “North Lake Party”). To the extent permitted under applicable law, any cause of action or claim you may have against the North Lake Parties arising out of your use of the website or mobile application must be commenced within one (1) year after the action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim shall be waived and permanently barred. All disputes shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as amended by this section (or, if AAA shall not then be in existence, such other organization, if any, as shall then become the successor of AAA or if there be no successor, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Florida). The arbitrator shall be chosen by the applicable North Lake Party and shall be a neutral person with no financial or personal interest in the result of the arbitration or any present relationship with the parties or their counsel. You and the North Lake Party shall equally split the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, but each party shall be responsible for their own legal fees; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall award reasonable legal fees and costs to the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. Jurisdiction for any dispute shall be in Manatee County, Florida. Except as may be required under applicable law, all proceedings with respect to any arbitration shall remain confidential.
  2. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
  3. Waiver. The failure of North Lake Communities to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of this Agreement by North Lake Communities must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of North Lake Communities.
  4. Termination. North Lake Communities may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without notice, for any reason.
  5. Relationship of the Parties.

Neither party has any right or authority to incur, assume, or create, in writing or otherwise, any warranty, liability, or other obligation of any kind, express or implied, in the name of or on behalf of the other party, it being intended by both parties that each shall remain independent contractors responsible for its own actions.
