Conclusion

Interpreting The Agreement; Assignment

If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in effect. “ThePlaz.com” may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement, or assign, transfer or sublicense your rights, if any, in the ThePlaz.com. Except as expressly stated herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and “ThePlaz.com” with respect to the ThePlaz.com and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and “ThePlaz.com” with respect to the ThePlaz.com. The section titles in the Agreement are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.

If this Agreement is with “ThePlaz.com” Corporation, claims for enforcement, breach or violation of duties or rights under this Agreement will be adjudicated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvannia, without reference to conflict of laws principles. If this Agreement is with a “ThePlaz.com” affiliate, claims for enforcement, breach or violation of duties or rights under this Agreement will be adjudicated under the laws of the place of incorporation for such “ThePlaz.com” affiliate, without reference to conflict of laws principles. All other claims, including, without limitation, claims under or for violation of consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws, and in tort, will be adjudicated under the laws of your state of residence in the United States, or, if you reside outside the United States, under the laws of the country to which the ThePlaz.com is accessed. If this Agreement is with “ThePlaz.com”, you hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or federal courts in Deleware County, Pennsylvannia, USA in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the ThePlaz.com.

Liability limitation; your exclusive remedy

In no event will any “ThePlaz.com” party be liable for any damages, including without limitation any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages arising out of, based on, or resulting from this agreement or your use of ThePlaz.com, even if such “ThePlaz.com” party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The exclusion of damages under section 10 is independent of your exclusive remedy and survives in the event such remedy fails of its essential purpose or is otherwise deemed unenforceable. These limitations and exclusions apply without regard to whether the damages arise from (1) breach of contract, (2) breach of warranty, (3) negligence, or (4) any other cause of action, to the extent such exclusion and limitations are not prohibited by applicable law. If you are dissatisfied with the ThePlaz.com, you do not agree with any part of this agreement, or you have any other dispute or claim with or against any “ThePlaz.com” party with respect to this agreement or ThePlaz.com, then your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using ThePlaz.com.
