THE “F&G PARTIES” ARE COMPRISED OF F&G AND EACH OF THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE F&G PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUES, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY F&G PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR COMPLAINTS WITH THE SERVICE IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages.  Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent that F&G or any other F&G Party may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any warranty or limit its liability as set forth herein, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of F&G’s and such F&G Party’s liability shall be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.

P. Governing Law and Remedies:

These Terms of Service and any action related to the Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.  The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any action with respect to the subject matter of these Terms of Service will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California, and each of the parties waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. The parties specifically disclaim application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.  You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made to F&G under these Terms of Service are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which may result in immediate and irreparable harm to F&G for which remedies at law are inadequate. F&G shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligation to post any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you.  You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief.

Q. Miscellaneous:

You agree to be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all devices and equipment needed for access to and use of the Service, and all related costs, charges and expenses.

F&G operates and controls the Service from its offices in the United States.  The content provided on or by the Service are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be against applicable laws or regulations or that would subject F&G to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.  Those persons who choose to access the Service from other locations are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, to the extent any such local laws are applicable.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and F&G as a result of these Terms of Service or your use of the Service. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and F&G with respect to your use of the Service and any other subject matter hereof and cannot be changed or modified by you except as expressly posted on the Service by F&G.  The failure of F&G to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, and no waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms of Service may not be assigned by you without F&G’s prior written consent, but are freely assignable by F&G.  The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import. Upon F&G’s request, you will furnish F&G any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with these Terms of Service.  You agree that these Terms of Service will not be construed against F&G by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms of Service and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms of Service.

You agree that the following sections of these Terms of Service will survive any termination of these Terms of Service, your Account or the Service:  Section G (Service Materials, Ownership, Trademarks and Feedback), Section H (Your User Content), Section K (Termination), Section L (Disputes with Others), Section M (Disclaimers of Warranties and Damages, Limitations of Liability), Section O (Indemnification), Section P (Governing Law and Remedies) and Section Q (Miscellaneous).
