You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of California. You hereby irrevocably consent to such venue and to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court over any such dispute.  Any and all disputes directly or indirectly arising out of or related to these Terms or the Website will be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class actions.  Any and all claims, judgments and awards will be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, and in no event shall you be entitled to recovery of attorney's fees.  Under no circumstances will any claimant be permitted to obtain any award for, and you hereby waive all rights to claim punitive, special, incidental or consequential damages and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses.  Any cause of action or claim you may have directly or indirectly arising out of or related to these Terms or the Website must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. A printed version of these Terms will be admissible in judicial and administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent as other business documents originally generated and maintained in printed form.

You agree that these Terms and all incorporated agreements may be assigned by us in our sole discretion.

Whenever used in these Terms, unless otherwise specified the terms "includes", "including", "e.g.", "for example", "such as", "for instance" and other similar terms are deemed to include the term "without limitation" immediately thereafter. In resolving any dispute or construing any provision hereunder, there will be no presumptions made or inferences drawn because one of the parties (or its representatives) drafted these Terms and each party hereby waives application of, or any rights under, any law that would require the interpretation of any ambiguities in these Terms against the party that drafted it.
