15. Links
The Services may integrate with and/or provide links to various other independent third-party products and/or services (“Linked Sites”) that may be of interest to you and are for your convenience only. FamilyLaw365 does not control and/or endorse such Linked Sites and is not responsible for their content nor is it responsible for the accuracy and/or reliability of any information, data, opinions, advice and/or statements contained within such Linked Sites.

16.1. Entire Agreement; Conflict. Unless otherwise agreed to by FamilyLaw365 and you in writing, the Terms (including without limitation the terms and conditions set forth herein and FamilyLaw365’s operating rules, policies and/or procedures as described above) constitutes the entire agreement between FamilyLaw365 and you concerning the subject matter hereof.
16.2. Governing Law. Except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise, this Agreement and any access to or use of the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of law provisions.
16.3. Arbitration. Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought in any competent court without the posting of a bond), any dispute arising under the Terms shall be finally settled in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (“JAMS”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall take place in San Francisco, California, in the English language and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce the Terms shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. You can opt- out and decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting FamilyLaw365 within thirty (30) days from the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision (i.e.: the date you initially accepted the Terms). (i) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and FamilyLaw365 in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND FamilyLaw365 WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. (ii) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS SECTION 16.3 MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this Section is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court located in Los Angeles, California.
16.4. Reference. You agree that we may reference you as our customer, and that we may reasonably use, on a royalty-free basis, your trademark and/or logo for such purpose.
16.5. Severability. If any part of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Terms and/or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term and/or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.
16.6. Assignment. You may not assign your rights under the Terms to any other party without FamilyLaw365’s express prior written consent; FamilyLaw365 may assign its rights under the Terms without condition. The Terms will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
16.7. Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither FamilyLaw365 nor Customer will be liable by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond the reasonable control of a party, which may include denial-of-service attacks, a failure by a third party hosting provider or utility provider, shortages, riots, fires, acts of God, war, strikes, terrorism, and governmental action.
16.8. Survival. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, licenses of User Content, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity provisions and limitations of liability.
16.9. No Waiver. No waiver by either you and/or FamilyLaw365 of any breach and/or default and/or failure to exercise any right allowed under the Terms is a waiver of any preceding and/or subsequent breach and/or default and/or a waiver and/or forfeiture of any similar and/or future rights under the Terms.
