There will be one arbitrator, and such arbitrator will be chosen by mutual agreement of the parties in accordance with AAA rules. The arbitration will take place in Seminole County in the State of Florida, and may be conducted by telephone or online, if available and allowed by law. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Florida to all issues in dispute. The controversy or claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis and will not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party.

Other Non-Personally-Identifiable Information
The Kährs Web site may collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit, such as type of browser, operating system, domain name, or IP address.

Web servers -- the big computers that "serve" up web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit pages on the Site, our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. IP address information is used only to improve the service of the Site, and is then discarded at the end of each session on our Site.
Kährs also collects information through "referrers" and various environmental variables. A "referrer" is information the web browser passes along to Kährs’ web server that references the URL from which you came. "Environmental variables" include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed our Site, type of web browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the website you left to visit Kährs, the names of the pages you visit while at our Site, and the Internet address of the website you then visit. We collect all of this information to allow us to detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance your experience on the Site. Kährs may store "referrer" information for a limited period of time prior to deleting this information.
