13.1 Informal Resolution. Before you initiate any formal proceeding, you agree to contact DY at [email protected] with a written description of the dispute and to attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for thirty (30) days. This informal resolution period is a condition precedent to arbitration.
13.2 Binding Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises out of or relates to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules for consumer disputes then in effect. The arbitration shall take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, or by videoconference at the election of either party. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section.
13.3 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND DY EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL TAKE PLACE ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Box 360314, San Juan, PR 00936-0314, or by email to [email protected] with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.” Your notice must include your full name, your email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, all other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
13.6 Governing Law and Venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of laws principles, except where the mandatory law of your place of residence requires otherwise. Subject to this Section 13, the courts located in San Juan, Puerto Rico (including the Court of First Instance, San Juan Part, and the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico) shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any action that the parties are permitted to bring in court, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
13.7 Time Limitation. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you must file any claim that arises out of or relates to these Terms or the Site within one (1) year after the claim arises, or the claim is permanently barred.
