Choice of Law. These Terms shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).

You agree that the state and federal courts located in Fairfax County in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any claim, dispute, lawsuit or request by us for injunctive relief or other damages, and you irrevocably agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose.
Severability. You acknowledge, and we affirm, that it is the intent of both us and you that the provisions contained in these Terms should be enforced. If any term or other provision, or part of any provision of these Terms, is found to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, the provision, or any part of it, shall be severed from these Terms and all other conditions and provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Entire Understanding. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes any prior written or oral agreement, unless you are engaged as a client, when in such case, the written agreement executed by you shall supersede these Terms. Other than our Indemnitees (who are expressly included as named third-party beneficiaries of these Terms), there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. You also understand and agree that any action or inaction by us or any of our Indemnitees to prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of these Terms is undertaken voluntarily and in good faith, and you expressly agree that neither us nor any of our Indemnitees shall be liable to you or anyone else for any action or inaction to prevent, restrict, redress, or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of these Terms.
Waiver. The waiver by us of a default or breach of any provision of these Terms shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or of a different provision. No waiver or modification of these Terms or of any covenant, condition, or limitation contained in these Terms shall be valid unless in writing and executed by a member of our company. Failure of us to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions in these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such terms, covenants and conditions.
