You agree that if we don’t exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or of which we have the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a waiver of our rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to us.

These Terms, and your relationship under these Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Amador County, California to resolve any legal matter arising from these Terms.

You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).
