In order to resolve disputes efficiently and minimize the burden of litigation, you and ReportYourRent (“RYR”) agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your use of the Services, or your relationship with RYR (regardless of when the dispute arose), shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration, with limited exceptions as outlined below.
10.1 Binding Arbitration Agreement
You and RYR agree that all disputes will be submitted to final and binding arbitration, and not to a court or jury. This includes, but is not limited to, disputes related to:
- The enforcement, interpretation, or scope of this Agreement
- The use or misuse of RYR’s services or platform
- Any advertising, representations, or marketing by RYR
- Alleged breaches of state or federal law, statutes, or regulations
The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs this provision. The arbitrator shall apply Florida law to all substantive matters and claims, and the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), unless otherwise agreed.
10.2 Waiver of Class Actions and Jury Trials
You and RYR agree that arbitration shall be conducted only on an individual basis, and not as a class, collective, or representative proceeding. You expressly waive the right to participate in or initiate any class action lawsuit, class arbitration, or any other consolidated proceeding.
Further, both parties knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to a trial by jury.
10.3 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, either party may:
- Bring an individual claim in small claims court within the jurisdictional limits of that court
- Seek injunctive relief or emergency relief from a court to prevent unauthorized use, infringement, or abuse of the Services or intellectual property
- File a complaint with a regulatory or administrative agency
These exceptions do not waive the overall arbitration obligation for other claims.
10.4 Arbitration Process
A party seeking arbitration must send written notice of the dispute to the other party via certified mail. The notice must describe the nature of the dispute and the specific relief requested. Notices to RYR must be sent to:
RYR, LLC – Legal Department
2131 Hollywood Boulevard, Suite 201
Hollywood, FL 33020
The arbitration will be administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The hearing will be conducted in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, unless both parties agree to a different location or to a remote proceeding. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the arbitration may proceed based solely on written submissions, at your request.
10.5 Arbitration Costs and Attorney’s Fees
RYR will cover arbitration filing fees and arbitrator costs for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines your claim is frivolous or brought in bad faith. In such cases, the allocation of fees will follow AAA Rules, and you may be required to reimburse RYR.
The arbitrator may award attorney’s fees and costs only where allowed by law or if a claim is found to be frivolous.
10.6 Arbitration Award and Enforcement
The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned, written decision and may award any relief permitted by law, including damages, injunctive relief, and declaratory judgment. The decision shall be final and binding on both parties, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
10.7 Changes to Arbitration Terms
If RYR makes any material changes to this arbitration provision in the future (other than a change to its contact address), you may reject the change within 30 days by sending written notice to the address above. Rejection of the change will not affect your obligation to individually arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms in effect prior to the change.
10.8 Severability
If any provision of this Section 10 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed, and the remainder of the arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

No oral or written statements not expressly incorporated into this Agreement shall be binding on either party unless formally executed in writing and signed by an authorized representative of RYR.
12.3 Modifications to the Agreement
RYR reserves the right to amend or update this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion. We will provide notice of material modifications through appropriate means, such as:
- Posting the revised version on our website or app
- Sending notifications via email or in-app alerts
Material changes will require your consent or continued use of the Services to become effective. Non-material changes will be effective immediately upon posting. By continuing to access or use the Services after any modification, you accept and agree to the revised Agreement.
If you do not agree to the updated terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Services and close your account.
12.4 Waiver Must Be in Writing
Any waiver of a right or remedy under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of RYR. A failure by RYR to enforce any provision of this Agreement at any time shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that or any other provision at a later time.
No waiver by RYR of any breach shall be deemed a waiver of any future breach, regardless of similarity.
12.5 Assignment and Transferability
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under it, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without prior written consent from RYR. Any attempt to assign without such consent is void.
RYR may freely assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of assets, without notice or consent.
12.6 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
No invalidity or unenforceability shall affect the validity of any other part of this Agreement. The parties agree that a court may modify any unenforceable provision to preserve its intent and enforce it to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12.7 Interpretation and Headings
Headings, titles, and section labels in this Agreement are for organizational convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. They should not be used to interpret or construe any provision.
This Agreement shall not be interpreted against RYR merely because we drafted it. Both parties acknowledge that they had the opportunity to review this Agreement before accepting its terms.
