If the Site contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

8. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

The validity, construction, and effect of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the state of New York, without giving effect to that state’s conflict of laws rules. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Site, shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in Manhattan, New York, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of this Agreement in your country or county of residence, or any other relevant country or county. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

All disputes arising out of, or relating to, these Terms of Use (including formation, performance, breach, enforceability, and validity of the Terms of Use), our operation of the Site, or a purchase made through the Site shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will be held in Manhattan, New York, or another location if we consent to such other location, which consent may be withheld in our sole discretion. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use, including any claim that all or any part of the Terms of Use is void or voidable. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class actions and class arbitrations are prohibited. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. Further, no action arising under this Agreement may be brought by User more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.

9. NO WAIVER

No waiver of any term of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under the Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

If any part of these Terms of Use is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, solely that part, to the minimum extent possible, will be deemed severable, and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions. Specific services, promotions, and sections of this Site may include additional terms and requirements, and those additional terms and requirements will supplement these Terms of Use with respect to the items to which they apply. We may revise or modify this Site and these Terms of Use without notice.

11. ENFORCEMENT AND SEVERABILITY

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by our duly authorized representative. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise. If any term or condition in these Terms of Use is deemed invalid, void, or unenforceable, that term or condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining term or condition.
