Ghidotti | Berger LLP, and Chase A. Berger , Tara Rosenfeld , and Jason L. Duggar , for appellant.

Neil Rose (Hollywood); Howard S. Weinstein P.A., and Howard S. Weinstein (Hollywood), for appellee.

Before EMAS, HENDON and MILLER, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Jersey Palm-Gross, Inc. v. Paper, 658 So.2d 531, 535 (Fla. 1995) (holding that "a usury savings clause cannot, by itself, absolutely insulate a lender from a finding of usury.... Rather, [it is] one factor to be considered in the overall determination of whether the lender intended to exact a usurious interest rate;" further observing "that a contrary holding would permit a lender to `relieve himself of the pains and penalties visited by law upon such an act by merely writing into the contract a disclaimer of any intention to do that which under his contract he has plainly done.'")
