Personal Data you submit to them. Please read the terms of use and privacy policies of the other websites you visit.

18. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE
The laws of the State of Tennessee, U.S.A. (without regard to its conflict of laws principles) govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and all transactions it contemplates,
including, without limitations, its validity, interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement.
19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION (PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY)
(a) General. Certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. The parties agree that this intended Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arising out of, related to, or connected in any way to your use of Services, (collectively, “Dispute”), then you agree the Dispute shall
be submitted to confidential arbitration in Knoxville, Tennessee, and you agree that all disputes will be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to choice of law principles. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”). Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorneys’ fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect our intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. You hereby consent to and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Tennessee. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court or tribunal with jurisdiction over the parties. As permitted by applicable law, you agree that any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of, related to, or connected in any way with your use of Services must be filed by you within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned. Any and all claims, judgments, and awards will be limited to actual third-party, out-of-pocket costs incurred (if any), but in no event will attorneys’ fees be awarded or recoverable.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you understand that you are thus giving up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court.
20. NO CLASS ACTIONS
You and the foundation agree that any claims brought against each other must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, no arbitrator or court may consolidate more than one person’s claims, or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and may not award class-wide relief.
21. SEVERABILITY; HEADINGS
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it. If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, we shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force. Headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not be used in its construction and/or interpretation.
22. NON-WAIVER
We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement, as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or applicable law will not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any other time.
23. ASSIGNMENT
We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our sole discretion.
