permitted under such applicable law.

to access the Site or use the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and at
their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent

may be effective without prior notice to you. - Governing Law.
These TOU and the relationship between you and FPL shall be governed by and construed in

provisions. You and FPL irrevocably agree to submit to the personal and exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in England and Wales, and waive any
jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. - Waiver and Severability.
The failure of FPL to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOU shall not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these TOU is found by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that
provision shall be deemed severed here from and shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. - Successors and Assigns.
We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under this TOU through
one or more of our corporate affiliates (including any entity that directly or indirectly
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us). If FPL or its assets are
acquired by another entity, that entity will assume our rights and obligations as described in
this TOU. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this TOU, by operation of law
or otherwise, without our prior written consent. - Arbitration Clause
ARBITRATION NOTICE: Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof,
including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall
be determined by arbitration in England and Wales before a single arbitrator. The arbitration
shall be administered JAMS, pursuant to its International Arbitration Rules and Procedures.
Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This
clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from
a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the
right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable
relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT (I) NO
ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER; (II) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR
AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS
OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; AND (III) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR
AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR ANY
OTHER PERSONS. If the specific provision of this paragraph is found to be unenforceable,
then the entirety of this Section entitled “Binding Arbitration” shall be null and void.
YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND UNDERSTAND
THAT, ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN
COURT. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING
OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT
RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER
COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. - Updates.
We may modify these TOU at any time, as we deem appropriate. If you disagree with the
changes to the TOU, you must discontinue your use of the Site and Services, and if you have
registered as a member, cancel your registration. Your continued access or use of any of the
Site or Services following such notice signifies your acceptance of the modified TOU. It is
your responsibility to review the TOU regularly to be aware of such modifications. We
reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Site or Services with or without notice. We will
not be liable to you or any third party should we exercise our right to modify or discontinue
the Site or Services. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse will be to cease
access to the Sites or Services. Continued access to the Site or Services following notice of
any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and acceptance of the
Site or Services as so modified and your use of new Services will be governed by these TOU.
