17. Choice of Law; Jurisdiction; Forum; Mandatory Arbitration.

Any claims, legal proceeding or litigation arising in connection with the Service will be brought solely in St. Johns County, Florida, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. You and HomeASAP agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the HomeASAP Service or your use thereof, including our Agreements, shall be determined by mandatory binding arbitration as set forth herein:
(a) You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and HomeASAP are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class or multi-party action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Agreements and the termination of your HomeASAP account. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by these Agreements, and as administered by the AAA. You and HomeASAP agree that these Agreements involve interstate commerce and are subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
(b) You and HomeASAP agree that (a) any claims seeking to enforce, protect, or determine the validity or ownership of any intellectual property rights, and (b) any claims related to allegations of theft, piracy or unauthorized use of the HomeASAP Service are NOT subject to mandatory arbitration. Instead, you and HomeASAP agree that these claims (including but not limited to claims for injunctive or equitable relief) shall be exclusively decided by courts of competent jurisdiction in St. Johns County, Florida, and that applicable Florida and/or Federal law shall govern, without regard to choice of law principles.
(c) YOU AND HOMEASAP AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER OR IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR PROCEEDING. Further, no arbitrator shall consolidate any other person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a multi-party or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable in any way, then the entirety of this arbitration section shall be null and void. The arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief.
(d) Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within ONE (1) YEAR after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitations period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the AAA's Consumer Rules with the remainder paid by HomeASAP. Any arbitration costs or fees deemed “excessive” will be paid by HomeASAP.
