14. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties.

If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, it shall be submitted to the appropriate courts of competent jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

16. Changes to Terms

Your continued use of this website after any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.
