These Terms and Conditions, your use of this Site and any claims relating to the Site shall be governed by and construed for both substantive and procedural purposes in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without giving effect to any principles of any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California to apply. We do not represent that information in the Site is appropriate or available for use in any specific location. Access to it from locations where its contents are illegal is prohibited.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach of these Terms and Conditions by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit our rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches.

​Jurisdiction

​This Site, this Site’s content, and incentives are intended to comply with U.S. state and federal laws and regulations.

​Timing of Claims

​Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to this Site must be commenced within 1 year after the claim or cause of action arises.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of any of these Terms and Conditions will cause such damage to us as will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that we will be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of these terms and conditions by you, or your affiliates, partners, or agents, as well as recover from you any and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by us in obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees.

Notwithstanding these rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.

​Class Action Waiver

​To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms and Conditions shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms and Conditions, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER USERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than 1 person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

General

Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these Terms and Conditions. We may assign our rights and duties under these Terms and Conditions to any party at any time without notice to you and without your express consent. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms and Conditions without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms and Conditions. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy shall be held unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions but shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,  and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Some people who endorse our content may receive consideration for their endorsement.
