from applicable laws in
the United States
, then through your continued use of the Site,
you are transferring your data to

, and you agree to have your data transferred to
and processed in
the United States
.
These
Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY
OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF USE, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND
WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP
ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR

18. MODIFICATIONS AND
INTERRUPTIONS
We
reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Site at any time or for any
reason at our sole discretion without notice. However, we have no obligation to update any
information on our Site. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue all or part of the

We
cannot guarantee
the Site will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software,
or other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the Site, resulting
in interruptions, delays, or errors. We
reserve the right to change, revise, update, suspend, discontinue, or otherwise
modify the Site at any time or for any reason without notice to you. You agree that we have no
liability
whatsoever for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to
access or use the Site during any downtime or discontinuance of the Site. Nothing in these Terms
of Use will be
construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Site or to supply any
corrections, updates, or releases in connection therewith.
These
Terms of Use and your use of the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of
the State
of
Texas
applicable
to agreements made and to be entirely performed within
the State of
Texas
, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
To expedite resolution
and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to
these Terms of Use (each "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”)
brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively,
the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any
Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for
at least thirty (30) days before initiating
arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice
from one Party to the other Party.
If the Parties are unable to resolve a
Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded
below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The
arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at
the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of
arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate,
limited by the AAA Consumer Rules.
If such
costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we
will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or
online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of
reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any
award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the
applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in
Hood,
Texas
. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration,
stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award
entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a
Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted
in the state and federal courts located in
Hood
,
Texas
, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of
personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in
such
state and federal courts
. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms
of Use.
In no
