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forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision(s) will, rather than be stricken in their entirety, be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.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.
