1. Waiver. No waiver of a breach of any term of the TOS will be effective unless in writing and duly executed by the waiving party. No such waiver will constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term of the TOS. No failure on the part of a party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any of its rights hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by a party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No course of dealing between the parties will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of the TOS or the rights or obligations of any party hereunder.
2. Entire Agreement. The TOS contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated and supersedes any prior agreements or und-erstandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may only be amended by a written document signed by all parties. There are no representa¬tions, warranties, or obligations of any party not expressly contained herein.
3. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the TOS, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to the TOS.
4. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The TOS will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of law principles. In the event that any legal proceedings are commenced with respect to any matter arising under this Agreement, the parties specifically consent and agree that the courts of the State of New York and/or the Federal Courts located in the State of New York will have exclusive jurisdiction over each of the parties and over the subject matter of any such proceedings, and that the venue of any such action will be in Monroe County, New York and/or the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. Additionally, the party that loses any such proceeding will pay all costs and expenses incurred by the other party(s) in connection therewith, including all attorneys' and other professional fees and expenses.
5. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of the TOS is held invalid or unenforceable by competent authority, that provision will be construed so as to be limited or reduced to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the law as it shall then appear. The total invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of the TOS will not affect its other provisions and the TOS will be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

Please report any violations of the TOS to Our support staff.
