TERMINATION, ABOVE, WHICH SETS FORTH THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF ANY MEMBER WHO OBJECTS TO ANY TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT (OR ANY MODIFICATION
HEREOF) OR BECOMES DISSATISFIED WITH ANY OF THE SERVICES.
17. MISCELLANEOUS
The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of law
provisions. Subject to Section 16: Arbitration, above, and without limiting the applicability of any provisions there under, we and you agree to submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and further agree that the exclusive venue for any cause of action arising under
or relating to this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder shall be the Superior Court in and for Santa Barbara County, California, sitting in
the City of Santa Barbara, California. We and you agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Agreement or the Services must
commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
If any provision of the Agreement is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to applicable law, then such
provision shall be construed as nearly as possible to conform to applicable law and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.
The Agreement (i) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties supersedes all prior agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter
contained herein, and (ii) may be modified or amended only in the manner expressly set forth herein.
We at any time and from time to time may assign our rights and delegate our duties under this Agreement without your prior consent. You may not assign
this Agreement to any other person under any circumstances without our express prior written consent.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged
and agreed to by us in writing.
The section titles in the Agreement are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.
