The following meanings shall apply in these Terms of Service: “Site” refers to any website made available by WillSitter.com. “Services” refers to the Site and all services, self-help documents, forms, and templates provided by WillSitter.com. “WillSitter.com,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to WillSitter.com LLC (the owner and operator of www.willsitter.com) and our affiliates (including officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, and representatives). “You" and “your” refer to each customer, visitor, or user of any Services. Suppose you access or use the Services for a company, organization, or other entity. In that case, ( a ) “you” and “your” also refer to that entity, ( b ) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with authority to bind the entity to these Terms of Service, and ( c ) you agree to these Terms of Service on the entity’s behalf. “Will” refers to your most recently updated, signed, witnessed, and adequately notarized Last Will and Testament. “Representative” refers to the person or entity that You appointed as the Personal Representative/Executor/Executrix in charge of managing the execution of your Will. “The Plan,” “Plan” refers to the End-of-Life document comprised of, but not limited to, the following: your Will, your Pet Directives (if applicable), your List of Assets and Liabilities, etc.

WillSitter.com is a digital commerce website provider of the Service, which allows You access and means of purchasing memberships to electronically store, maintain, process, enable the monitoring of your travels (depending on your choice of membership), and only upon your passing, electronically notify and forward to your Representative, for the timely execution of your Plan, the following, but not limited to, documents: your Plan, your Last Will, and Testament (herein “will”), your Pet Directives (if applicable), your List of Assets and Liabilities, etc., and makes it accessible to you and your designated representative, on compatible devices and computers, only under the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement.

The Representative does not necessarily need to be an attorney (it could be your spouse, child, or best friend). However, it must meet the following criteria:
-
be at least 18 years old,
-
be mentally and physically capable of serving (that is not judged incapacitated by a court) and
-
cannot have any felony convictions.
Complex estates require skilled executors who can manage duties without getting emotionally involved. So, it is best to consult an estate attorney in these cases.

Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Services if you are a resident outside the United States, of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Services are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.
Assignment
These Terms of Service are assignable only by WillSitter.com. These Terms of Service and any rights and licenses granted hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be transferred or assigned by WillSitter.com without restriction.
Controlling Law and Jurisdiction
You agree that (i) the Services shall be deemed solely based in Florida, and (ii) the Services shall be deemed passive and do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over WillSitter.com, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Florida. You expressly agree that your rights and obligations, these Terms of Service, and any disputes shall be governed by and interpreted following the laws of Florida, excluding its choice of law rules. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any claim or dispute between you and WillSitter.com that arises in whole or in part from the Services shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction in Miami-Dade County, Florida, unless submitted to arbitration as outlined in the following paragraph. The preceding sentence shall not apply to North Carolina consumers. You also acknowledge and agree that you and WillSitter.com each waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and WillSitter.com otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. This waiver of the right to participate in a class action lawsuit shall not apply concerning a consumer who engages in an offering made to AARP members.
Dispute Resolution
You and WillSitter.com agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or the use of the Services or use of the Site (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and WillSitter.com are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and WillSitter.com otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms of Service.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) following the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/active-rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form of Demand for Arbitration.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Florida and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. Suppose the parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of the Demand for Arbitration delivery. In that case, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator under the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless you and WillSitter.com otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Suppose your claim does not exceed $10,000. In that case, the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents you and WillSitter.com submit to the arbitrator unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine your right to a hearing. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator's Decision
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above regarding the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's claim. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
Fees
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as outlined in the AAA Rules. However, suppose your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000. In that case, WillSitter.com will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
