5. ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE TERMS
THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR MANDATORY ARBITRATION OR CLASS ACTION WAIVERS. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE PROVISIONS BELOW MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
If any dispute arises between you and MEG AND HUGO, you and MEG AND HUGO agree, as permitted by applicable law, to resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with your use of the Site (including, but not limited to these Terms), including any question regarding the Terms’ existence, validity or termination, through binding arbitration unless we and you expressly agree, in writing, not to arbitrate. The dispute, to the extent permissible by applicable law, shall be referred to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in Pinellas, Florida before a single arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrability of this agreement is governed by the laws of State of Florida as well as the United States Federal Arbitration Act.
If for any reason any claim proceeds to court rather than arbitration, you and MEG AND HUGO agree, to the extent permissible by applicable law, to waive any right to a jury trial and you agree to waive any right to bring a class action lawsuit.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5 is intended to limit your mandatory rights under applicable law.

The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the events or circumstances were foreseeable and even if the MEG AND HUGO parties were advised of or should have known of the possibility of such losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action based in contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused, in whole or in part, by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or destruction of the Site).
AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEG AND HUGO PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID MEG AND HUGO IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION(S) THAT UNDERLIE THE CLAIM(S).
