Third party content may appear on the website or may be accessible via links from DDS Services. These sites have not necessarily been reviewed by DDS and are maintained by third parties over which DDS exercises no control. Accordingly, DDS expressly disclaims any responsibility for the privacy policies, information collection practices, the content, the accuracy of the information, and/or quality of products or services provided by or advertised on these third-party websites.

7. Arbitration and Class Action Right Waiver
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. DDS and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or to any prior oral or written agreement for DDS Services between DDS and you. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail or overnight courier, a written Notice of Intent to Arbitration ("Notice"). The Notice to DDS shall be addressed to: Attn: Service Department, 4295 Bayridge Court, Spring Hill, FL 34606 ("Arbitration Notice Address"). If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or DDS may commence an arbitration proceeding. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by this Agreement, and shall be administered by JAMS. The JAMS Rules and fee information are available at www.jamsadr.com, by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267, or by writing to the Arbitration Notice Address. DDS agrees to pay one-half the filing fee of any arbitration, with the total costs of arbitration to be borne by the parties to the extent of their respective fault or negligence as determined by the arbitrator; provided, however, if DDS offers you an amount to settle the matter that you reject, and you are then awarded the same amount or less by the arbitrator, than you agree to pay the entire cost of the arbitration, excluding filing fees. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and DDS are waiving the right to a trial by jury. Unless DDS and you agree otherwise, all hearings conducted as part of the arbitration shall take place in the city or county of your billing address. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. The arbitrator must give effect to the limitations on DDS 's liability as set forth in this Agreement and any other applicable agreement or law. You and DDS agree that YOU AND DDS 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. Further, unless both you and DDS agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.
Right to Opt Out. If you do not wish to be bound by this arbitration provision, you must notify DDS in writing within the earlier of 90 days of the posting of these terms on the website, or 60 days of the date that you first purchase or use DDS Services. Your written notification to DDS should be addressed to Attn: Service Department, 4295 Bayridge Court, Spring Hill, FL 34606 (or sent via email to info@myfloridatitleservice.com) and must include your name and address, as well as a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with DDS through arbitration. Your decision to opt out of this arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with DDS or the delivery of DDS Services.
8. Limitation on Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL DDS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
(I) INJURY, CLAIM, LIABILITY, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S FEES) RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY DDS SERVICES (EXCLUDING SERVICE OF PROCESS) IN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE FEES PAID TO DDS IN THE PRIOR TWELVE MONTHS;
(II) INJURY, CLAIM, LIABILITY, DAMAGE, OR DEFAULT OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S FEES) RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE DELIVERY OR FAILURE TO DELIVER SERVICE OF PROCESS IN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF $5,000; OR
(III) SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING ATTORNEY’S FEES),
IN ANY WAY DUE TO, RESULTING FROM, OR ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF ANY DDS SERVICES, INABILITY TO USE THE website, OR THE COMPLETENESS OR ACCURACY OF THE CONTENT.
9. Breach of Agreement and Violation of Laws
DDS reserves the right to seek all remedies at law and in equity for violations of all laws and this Agreement, including but not limited to, the right to block access from a particular Internet address to DDS Services and its features, and terminate any services without refund of fees paid.
You agree that you will not use DDS Services for any fraudulent or unlawful purpose. You agree that you have truthfully disclosed your identity as the named individual placing an order, have the authority to file an title; and are not prohibited from making a transaction by any governing body.
If you violate or exceed the scope of this Agreement or infringe our proprietary rights, you acknowledge and agree that we would be irreparably harmed and may (in addition to other relief and without having to post bond) obtain a court order enjoining you from further mischief. You further agree that DDS may, without notice to you, withdraw documents, or filings filed in contravention to this Agreement and resign as your registered agent (if applicable), and that you will indemnify and hold harmless DDS for any liability (including the costs of DDS in taking such action) arising from the violation of this section.
DDS reserves the right to investigate complaints or reported violations of the Agreement and to take any action we deem appropriate including, but not limited to, reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties and disclosing any information necessary to such persons or entities relating to user profiles, e-mail addresses, usage history, posted materials, IP addresses and traffic information.
10. Governing Law
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA (USA), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH YOUR OWN LOCAL LAWS, WHICH MAY VARY WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES OR PEOPLE (e.g., MINORS). You agree that U.S. District Courts can hear cases involving copyright issues between us. Should you have a grievance with us, you agree to arbitrate your dispute in accordance with Section 7 above. In the event that your dispute is not eligible for such arbitration or if a court finds the arbitration provision to be unenforceable, you hereby irrevocably agree that any legal action brought against us will be brought and maintained on an individual basis (and not consolidated with similar cases) within one (1) year after the claim arises or you will be barred from bringing such legal action. If we are required to enforce this Agreement or our rights, you agree it is reasonable to send you legal notices and papers by electronic mail at your stated address (we would also attempt to send you a backup copy by regular mail).
11. Force Majeure
DDS is not responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any DDS Services in whole or in part for any reason including, without limitation: fires, floods, storms, earthquakes, civil disturbances, disruption of telecommunications, transportation, utilities, services or supplies, governmental action, computer viruses, corruption of data, hacker attacks, incompatible or defective equipment, software or services or otherwise.

12. Miscellaneous

In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement, Additional Terms and/or any other terms found on this website or in the provision of services provided to you by DDS or any of its affiliated companies, the terms of this Agreement shall control even if the other terms are dated later in time, unless such other terms expressly provide otherwise.
We reserve the right to assign this Agreement or delegate responsibility to any third party, including a party acquiring any of our operating assets or ownership interests. All licenses or permissions granted to you by this Agreement are personal in nature and may not be assigned, sublicensed or otherwise transferred and any attempt to the contrary is void. Any provision of this Agreement found by a court to be illegal or unenforceable shall automatically be deemed conformed to the minimum requirements of law and shall thereupon be given full force and effect as so modified. Waiver of a provision in one instance shall not preclude our enforcement of it on future occasions. Headings are for reference purposes only and have no substantive effect.
This Agreement incorporates by reference any notices contained on the website. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement with respect to access to and use of DDS Services. If any provision of this Agreement is unlawful, void or unenforceable then that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. DDS takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
