If the sender of a notice in accordance with this section receives a machine-generated message that delivery has failed, or if the sender does not receive an acknowledgement in accordance with this section, that notice will nevertheless be deemed to have been received when originally sent by email if no more than ten business days later the sender delivers a tangible copy of that notice with end-to-end tracking and all fees prepaid.

GOVERNING LAW. This Rental shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

This Rental may be modified or amended in writing, if the writing is signed by the party obligated under the amendment.
SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Rental shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this Rental is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
WAIVER. The failure of either party to enforce any provisions of this Rental shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Rental.
BINDING EFFECT. The provisions of this Rental shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement through friendly negotiations amongst the parties.
