Diamond Resorts retains all rights with respect to our Sites except those given to you in this Agreement.

7. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

A. Agreement to Arbitrate; Class Acton Waiver. PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither you nor Diamond Resorts will seek to have a Dispute heard as a class action or private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitrations or proceedings. You and Diamond Resorts agree to arbitrate, as provided below, all disputes between you and Diamond Resorts that are not resolved informally, except disputes relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights. “Dispute” means any dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, between you and us concerning the Sites, the Services and Features and/or this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and Diamond Resorts empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable.

B. Arbitration Requirements. If you and Diamond Resorts do not resolve a Dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”) in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS Rules and instructions about how to initiate an arbitration are available at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352- 5267. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in either Las Vegas, Nevada or Orlando, Florida, whichever is more convenient for you; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Las Vegas or Orlando, JAMS may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. You and Diamond Resorts agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in either Las Vegas, Nevada or Orlando, Florida, whichever is more convenient for you, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. In accordance with the JAMS Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or Diamond Resorts) is responsible for paying the filing fee. However, if the arbitrator issues you an award of damages and: (a) that award is greater than the amount of our last written settlement offer; or (b) if we did not make a settlement offer, then in addition to paying for any JAMS Case Management Fees and all professional fees for the arbitrator's services, we will reimburse you for the filing fees you incurred. Except as provided above with respect to jurisdiction in Las Vegas, Nevada and Orlando, Florida, nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed as consent by Diamond Resorts to the jurisdiction of any other court with regard to disputes, claims or controversies unrelated to the Sites, Services and Features or this Agreement.

8. Additional Provisions

A. Choice of Forum. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not subject to arbitration shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in either Las Vegas, Nevada in Clark County or Orlando, Florida in Orange County, United States of America and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.

B. Choice of Law. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Las Vegas and the laws of the United States, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.

C. Disclaimer of Warranty. THE SITES AND SERVICES AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

D. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL DIAMOND RESORTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SITES OR THE SERVICES OR FEATURES, OR THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE BY DIAMOND RESORTS OR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES RELATED TO THE SITES, THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM ASSERTED IS BASED ON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF RECOVERY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS PROHIBIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

F. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights.

G. Feedback. We always appreciate your feedback and other suggestions about our products and services. But you should know that we may use them without any restriction or obligation to compensate you, and we are under no obligation to keep them confidential.

H. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

I. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination, including but not limited to, Sections 6, 7, and 8.

J. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
