Agreement To Our Legal Terms

Last updated February 13, 2025

We are Waves Pest Control, LLC, operating as Pest Control Sarasota (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a business registered in Florida, located in Sarasota, FL.

We manage the website https://www.pestcontrolsarasotaflorida.com/ (the “Site”), along with other related products and services that point to these legal terms (the “Legal Terms”) (together, the “Services”).

You can reach us by phone at 1-941-241-3591 or email at [email protected].

These Legal Terms form a binding agreement between you, whether as an individual or representing an entity (“you”), and Waves Pest Control, LLC, about your use of the Services. By accessing the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES AND MUST STOP USING THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Additional terms, conditions, or documents posted on the Services from time to time are part of these Legal Terms by reference. We may, at our discretion, alter or update these Legal Terms at any time for any reason. We will notify you of changes by revising the “Last updated” date of these Legal Terms, and you waive any right to specific notice of each change. You are responsible for checking these Legal Terms periodically to stay aware of updates. Your continued use of the Services after revised Legal Terms are posted means you accept and are subject to those changes.

Minors in the jurisdiction where they live (typically under 18) must have permission from, and be supervised by, a parent or guardian to use the Services. If you are a minor, your parent or guardian must read and agree to these Legal Terms before you use the Services.

By using the Services, you agree to follow our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Legal Terms. The Services are hosted in the United States. If you access them from a region with different data laws, your continued use means you consent to your data being transferred to and processed in the United States.

These Legal Terms remain in effect while you use the Services. WE MAY, AT OUR DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BLOCKING IP ADDRESSES) TO ANYONE FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON, INCLUDING FOR BREACHING ANY PART OF THESE LEGAL TERMS OR ANY LAW OR REGULATION.

13. GOVERNING LAW

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Florida, applicable to agreements made and performed entirely within Florida, ignoring conflict of law principles.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To quickly resolve and limit costs of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a “Dispute” and collectively, “Disputes”) brought by you or us (each a “Party” and together, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to negotiate any Dispute (except those noted below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before starting arbitration. Negotiations begin with written notice from one Party to the other.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties cannot settle a Dispute through informal talks, the Dispute (except as excluded below) will be resolved solely by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS, YOU COULD SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. Arbitration will follow the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and, where fitting, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (AAA Consumer Rules), available at the AAA website. Your arbitration fees and share of arbitrator pay will follow AAA Consumer Rules and may be limited by them. If the arbitrator finds the costs excessive, we will cover all arbitration fees and expenses. Arbitration can occur in person, by document submission, phone, or online. The arbitrator will issue a written decision without explanation unless a Party requests one. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and awards can be contested if they do not. Unless AAA rules or law state otherwise, arbitration will happen in Florida, United States. The Parties may go to court to compel arbitration, pause proceedings, or confirm, modify, vacate, or enforce an arbitrator’s award.

If a Dispute goes to court instead of arbitration, it will be filed in state and federal courts in Florida, United States, and the Parties consent to jurisdiction there, waiving defenses of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) do not apply to these Legal Terms.

If any part of this section is illegal or unenforceable, neither Party will arbitrate that part, and it will be decided by a court in the jurisdiction listed above, with both Parties agreeing to that court’s authority.

Restrictions

The Parties agree arbitration is limited to Disputes between them individually. To the fullest extent allowed by law, (a) no arbitration will combine with another proceeding; (b) Disputes cannot be arbitrated as a class action; and (c) no Dispute can be brought representing the public or others.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

Disputes about enforcing or protecting a Party’s intellectual property rights, theft, piracy, privacy invasion, unauthorized use, or injunctive relief are not subject to informal negotiations or arbitration. If this section is illegal or unenforceable, Disputes within that part will be decided by a court in the jurisdiction above, with both Parties agreeing to its authority.

18. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, partners, and employees, from any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by a third party due to (1) your use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) breach of your promises in these Legal Terms; (4) violation of a third party’s rights, including intellectual property; or (5) harmful acts toward another user connected via the Services.

23. MISCELLANEOUS

These Legal Terms, along with any policies or rules we post on the Services, form the full agreement between you and us. Failing to enforce any right or part of these Legal Terms does not waive it.

We are not liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure due to causes beyond our reasonable control. If any part of these Legal Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is separable and does not affect the rest. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us due to these Legal Terms or Service use. You agree these Legal Terms are not interpreted against us because we wrote them. You waive defenses based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms or lack of signing.
