Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using the Service.
WELCOME

DISPUTES
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND IMPACTS HOW CLAIMS YOU AND ENTREPRENISTA MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE DETERMINED.
Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Entreprenista agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to this or previous versions of the Terms, your use of Site or Services, or to any products sold or distributed by Entreprenista or through our Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) bring an action in a court pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq.; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to National Registered Agents, Inc., 160 Greentree Dr., Suite 101, Dover, Delaware, 19904. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
The arbitration hearing will be held in the country in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. You or Entreprenista may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Entreprenista subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing.
The arbitrator will decide all claims in accordance with applicable law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving other Entreprenista users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Entreprenista user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of these Terms. If you do not want to be subject to this Agreement to Arbitrate provision, you may opt out of by notifying Entreprenista in writing of your decision by sending, within 30 days of the date you receive these Terms, an electronic message to membership@entreprenista.com, stating clearly your full name and intent to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. Should you choose not to opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate within the 30-day period, you and Entrprenista will be bound by the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. You understand that you will not be subject to retaliation if you exercise your right to opt out of coverage under this Agreement to Arbitrate.
Prohibition of Class, Representative, and Consolidated Actions
You and Entreprenista agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless both you and Entreprenista agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join more than one party’s claims, and may not adjudicate or determine any form of a representative, class, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party bringing the claim, if such relief is warranted by the facts and law. Any relief awarded by the arbitrator will not affect other Entreprenista users.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration both you and Entreprenista each waive any right to a jury trial. You and Entreprenista also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms, your use of any Services, or any products sold or distributed by Entreprenista or through the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
Unless you and Entreprenista agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms, your use of any Services, or any products sold or distributed by Entreprenista or through Entreprenista Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Florida. You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
No waiver of these Terms by Entreprenista shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such Terms or any other term or condition, and any failure of Entreprenista to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
UNITED STATES ONLY
Unless otherwise specified, the Services are presented solely for the purpose of promoting products and services available in the United States. Entreprenista makes no representation that the Entreprenista Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you access Entreprenista Services from locations outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Entreprenista with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the sites.
MODIFICATIONS
Entreprenista reserves the right to make changes to these Terms, including the terms that apply to purchases or returns, at any time. If Entreprenista makes a material modification to these Terms, we will attempt to notify you by displaying an announcement within the Services or by sending you an email, and that will be deemed sufficient notification of such changes.

A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

XIII. General Terms
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Company concerning your use of the Service. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. The section titles and annotations in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
XIV. Arbitration, Class Waiver, and Waiver of Jury Trial
We are located in Florida, so all disputes must be resolved there. We will use arbitration to resolve any problems, and you cannot join a class action lawsuit or obtain a jury trial for any disputes you have with us related to your use of the Service.
a. Mandatory Arbitration. Please read this carefully. YOU AND COMPANY AND EACH OF OUR RESPECTIVE CORPORATE PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS, PERMITTED ASSIGNS, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ARE ACCESSING THE SERVICE AGREE TO ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AS THE EXCLUSIVE FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BELOW, FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.
i. Commencing Arbitration. A party intending to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by an international courier with a tracking mechanism, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “Notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address Company provides to you, via any other method available to Company, including via email. The Notice to Company must be addressed to 12133 Aviles Circle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418, Attn: Chief Executive Officer (the “Arbitration Notice Address”). The Notice must
(A) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (B) set forth the specific relief sought (the “Demand”). If you and Company do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court. THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) WILL ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (THE “Rules”), AS MODIFIED BY THESE TERMS. The Rules and AAA forms are available online at http://www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee to commence an arbitration against Company, then Company will promptly reimburse you for your confirmed payment of the filing fee upon Company’s receipt of Notice at the Arbitration Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration along with a receipt evidencing payment of the filing fee, unless your Demand is equal to or greater than $1,000 or was filed in bad faith, in which case you are solely responsible for the payment of the filing fee.
ii. Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration will be in English. A single independent and impartial arbitrator with his or her primary place of business in Florida, will be appointed pursuant to the Rules, as modified herein. You and Company agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens on the parties: (A) arbitration will only be conducted if the damages sought exceed $75,000; (B) the arbitration will be conducted online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (C) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and (D) any judgment on the award the arbitrator renders may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
iii. No Class Actions. YOU AND
COMPANY AGREE THAT YOU AND COMPANY 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, YOU AGREE THAT 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, AND THAT IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISO IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION SECTION WILL BE NULL AND VOID.
iv. Decision of the Arbitrator.
Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim. The arbitrator will apply the laws of the State of Florida in conducting the arbitration. You acknowledge that these terms and your use of the Service evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The United States Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the Mandatory Arbitration clause in these Terms.
b. Equitable Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section do not apply to any claim in which either party seeks equitable relief to protect such party’s copyrights, trademarks, or patents. You acknowledge that, in the event Company or a third party breaches these Terms, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Company, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in these Terms.
c. Claims. You and Company agree that, notwithstanding any other rights the party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
d. Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against Company must be resolved in accordance with this Section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section, Company may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $5,000, provided that Company has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
e. Modifications. In the event that Company makes any future change to the Mandatory Arbitration provision (other than a change to Company’s Arbitration Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Company’s Arbitration Notice Address, in which case your account with Company and your license to use the Service will terminate immediately, and this Section, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive the termination of these Terms.
f. Enforceability. If only Section XIII.a.iii or the entirety of this Section XIII is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section XIII will be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section XIV will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
XV. Governing Law; Choice of Forum. The laws of the State of Florida, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern these Terms and your use of the Service. Your use of the Service may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws. To the extent that any action relating to any dispute hereunder is permitted to be brought in a court of law, such action will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Florida, and you hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction in such courts, and waive any defense of inconvenient forum.
