responsibility to determine whether any of the Services and/or
Content (as defined in Section 6 below) is appropriate for
your child. If you have agreed to allow your minor child, or
a child for whom you are legal guardian (a “Minor”)

MISCELLANEOUS
|
|
The validity, construction and enforceability
of this TOS shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, without regard to
its conflict of law provisions. You may not assign any of your
rights, obligations or privileges hereunder without the prior
written consent of Hainesville. Any assignment other than as
provided for in this Section shall be null and void, ab initio.
If any provision of this TOS shall be unlawful, void or for
any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed
severable from this TOS and shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. The TOS shall constitute
the entire understanding between you and Hainesville with respect
to the subject matter, superseding any prior and contemporaneous
understandings, whether express or implied, pertaining thereto
and cannot be modified, amended, superseded or rescinded, except
as agreed to in writing by both parties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, you also may be subject to additional terms and
conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services,
third party content or third party software. The failure of
Hainesville to exercise or enforce any right or provision of
the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Headings in the TOS are for reference purposes only and in
no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent
of such section.

ARBITRATION

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this TOS or our Service, shall be settled by binding arbitration

shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be
consolidated in any arbitration with any controversy or claim
of any other party. The arbitration shall be conducted in Los
Angeles, California, and judgment of the arbitration award
may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Either you or Hainesville may seek any interim or preliminary
relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles,
California necessary to protect the rights or property of you
or Hainesville pending the completion of the arbitration.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the
contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or
