Alternate Dispute Resolution. Any and all disputes, controversies, claims, or causes of action, whether in contract, tort, equity, statute, regulation, or otherwise, arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use, the Site, or any services, information, content, or transactions made available through the Site (collectively, the “Disputes”), shall first be submitted to non-binding mediation as a condition precedent to any litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding. Mediation shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. The mediation shall take place in Nashville, Tennessee (or another location designated solely by Southern Land Company, LLC, in its discretion), and shall be conducted by a single mediator selected in accordance with AAA procedures, who shall be a retired judge or an attorney with not less than ten (10) years’ experience in complex commercial, technology, or real estate disputes. The parties shall participate in mediation in good faith, and a party’s refusal or failure to attend and participate in at least one full day of mediation shall constitute a breach of these Terms of Use, permitting the non-breaching party to immediately pursue all other remedies available at law or equity without further obligation to mediate. All costs and fees of the mediator and the AAA shall be advanced and borne by the user, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and each party shall otherwise bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the mediation. All aspects of the mediation shall be strictly confidential, including the existence of the Dispute, any documents exchanged, and any settlement discussions or proposals, and no statement made in the course of the mediation shall be admissible in any later proceeding. The running of any statute of limitations or other time-based defense shall be tolled during the period between the date a party gives written notice demanding mediation and the conclusion of the mediation process. No party may file a lawsuit, demand arbitration, or otherwise initiate any adjudicatory proceeding unless and until it has complied with this Mediation provision, except that Southern Land Company, LLC, may immediately seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, proprietary data, or the integrity and security of its Site. These obligations shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use and your use of the Site. If mediation does not resolve any Dispute, the matter shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms of Use. The arbitration shall take place in Nashville, Tennessee (or such other location as designated by Southern Land Company, LLC, in its sole discretion) before a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA rules. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge or an attorney with not less than ten (10) years of substantial experience in complex commercial, technology, or real estate disputes. The arbitration shall be conducted solely on an individual basis, and not in any consolidated, class, representative, collective, or private attorney general proceeding. By agreeing to arbitration, you expressly waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action of any kind. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including any challenge to the validity of this provision. The arbitrator may award only those damages and remedies that are available under applicable law and that are consistent with the limitations set forth in these Terms of Use, and under no circumstances shall the arbitrator have the authority to award punitive, exemplary, special, consequential, or incidental damages against Southern Land or any of the Indemnified Parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. All fees and costs of the arbitrator and the AAA shall be advanced and borne by the user, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and each party shall otherwise bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration. All proceedings, submissions, evidence, and awards in arbitration shall be strictly confidential, except to the extent disclosure is required by law or necessary to enforce an arbitral award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Southern Land Company, LLC retains the unrestricted right to seek injunctive or equitable relief at any time in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, proprietary data, or the integrity and security of its Site, and such action shall not be deemed incompatible with or a waiver of this arbitration requirement. This arbitration obligation shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and your use of the Site.

User Waiver. By using the Site, you waive any class action rights and agree that any disputes must be pursued on an individual basis only.

Governing Law. If you use the Site and a dispute results relating to your use, the dispute will be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. If you take legal action relating to these Terms, you agree to file such action only in state court in Nashville, Tennessee, or federal court within the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.

Force Majure. Neither Southern Land Company, LLC, nor any of its affiliates, licensors, service providers, or contractors shall be responsible or liable for any delay, failure, interruption, degradation, or inability to operate, access, or make available the Site, any portions thereof, or any services, features, content, or materials provided through the Site, in whole or in part, if such delay, failure, interruption, degradation, or inability arises, directly or indirectly, from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Southern Land, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, storm, or other natural disaster, explosion, pandemic, epidemic, communicable disease outbreak, or public health emergency, war, invasion, hostilities, terrorist threats or acts, riot, insurrection, strike, labor disputes or stoppages, shortages of materials or supplies, embargoes, governmental orders, actions, laws, or regulations (whether valid or invalid), national or regional emergency, telecommunications or power outage, Internet or network breakdown, denial-of-service attacks, hacking, malware, ransomware, or other malicious cyberattacks, equipment or system failures, software or hardware malfunctions, third-party hosting or content provider interruptions, or any other event or circumstance beyond Southern Land’s control, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). In the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, Southern Land’s obligations to maintain, operate, or provide access to the Site or any of its content, services, or features shall be suspended for the duration of the delay or inability to perform, and the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the duration of such Force Majeure Event, or Southern Land may, in its sole discretion, elect to modify, limit, suspend, or permanently discontinue access to the Site, or any portion thereof, without liability of any kind. You acknowledge and agree that you shall have no claim against Southern Land arising out of or relating to any Force Majeure Event affecting the Site, including, but not limited to, any claim for service interruptions, lost access, unavailability of content, refunds, damages, or other relief.
