13. Governing Law and Arbitration.

13.A. Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in the United States of America; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Wayfarer Chronicles, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the United States of America. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the United States of America, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce.  The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

13.B. Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY.  You and Wayfarer Chronicles agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Wayfarer Chronicles arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Agreements or to your relationship with Wayfarer Chronicles as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreements) will be determined by mandatory binding individual arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreements.

Wayfarer Chronicles may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Wayfarer Chronicles in our sole discretion.  Wayfarer Chronicles reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Agreement.  Wayfarer Chronicles is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us.  Wayfarer Chronicles may, in its sole discretion, modify or update this Agreement from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically.  When we change the Agreement in a material manner, we will update the ‘last modified’ date at the bottom of this page.  Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.  If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Service, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service.

14.C. Entire Agreement/Severability. This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Wayfarer Chronicles in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Wayfarer Chronicles concerning the Service.  If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.

13.D. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Wayfarer Chronicles’ failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

14.E. Government Use Rights. If the Service is licensed to the United States government or any agency thereof, then the Service will be deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” respectively, pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable.  Any use, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure of the Service and any accompanying documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by these Terms of Service and is prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms of Service.
