We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.

13. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms of Use, including without limitation, your use of the Website and your use and purchase of Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. We’re here to help and would like to work with you directly to resolve any issues or disputes that you may have. If we cannot resolve such dispute, you and Keeping the Blues Alive each agree that it will be resolved in a binding, confidential, individual and fair arbitration process, and not in court.

15. BINDING ARBITRATION
If you and Keeping the Blues Alive are unable to resolve a dispute through informal negotiations, the dispute (except those disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by you or Keeping the Blues Alive. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Except as otherwise provided herein, you and Keeping the Blues Alive may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you and Keeping the Blues Alive hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor Keeping the Blues Alive will elect to arbitrate any dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and you and Keeping the Blues Alive agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

17. RESTRICTIONS AGAINST JOINDER OF CLAIMS
You and Keeping the Blues Alive agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each claim individually. YOU AND KEEPING THE BLUES ALIVE HEREBY AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN YOUR OR KEEPING THE BLUES ALIVE’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then, to the full extent allowable under applicable law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration, and (b) there is no right for any claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures, and (c) there is no right of authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.
