General.
Choice of
Law, Headings and Non-waiver. This Agreement shall be
exclusively construed, interpreted, governed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without
regard to rules governing conflicts of laws, except that in
underlying transactions involving commerce, the enforcement of
this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act. The parties further agree that this Agreement
shall be deemed to have been negotiated, entered into, executed
and performed for all purposes within the State of New
Hampshire. Either party’s failure to act with respect to a
breach does not waive the non-breaching party’s right to act
with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
Severability. The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement
will not affect the validity of any other provision and any such
finding of invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties
agree that the remaining provisions will be deemed to be in full
force and effect as if they had been executed by both parties
subsequent to the expungement of the invalid provision. It is
expressly understood, however, that the parties hereto intend
each and every provision of this Agreement to be valid and
enforceable and hereby knowingly waive all rights to object to
any provision of this Agreement to the full extent permitted by
law. Accordingly, if any part of this Agreement is determined to
be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law
including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and
liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or
unenforceable provision(s) will, rather than be stricken in
their entirety, be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable
provision that most closely matches the intent of the original
provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in
effect.
Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire
Agreement of the parties relating to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements,
negotiations, correspondence, understandings or communications,
whether oral or written. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended except in writing, signed by both parties, or as
otherwise provided herein. Because of changes in Internet
technology and practices, this Agreement and our security and
other policies may change from time to time. Please consult
this portion of the website for important changes to the
Agreement as they occur. Unless otherwise provided in a separate
written agreement between you and us, by using the website after
we post any changes to this Agreement, you agree to accept those
changes, whether or not you have reviewed them, and such
acceptance shall be deemed legally conclusive. If at any time
you choose not to accept the terms of this Agreement, you will
not use the website. This Agreement applies to your use of this
website or other sites that we may own or operate in the future,
unless such sites provide otherwise.
