We or our licensors retain all worldwide intellectual property rights, title, and interest in our Site and Services, including its overall appearance and any text, graphics, designs, videos, interfaces, and underlying source files of the Services, any Content we provide, and our name, trademarks, and logos. In some cases we have obtained the right to use certain elements from others as part of our Services and in that case, those elements are owned by their respective owner/s. Even though we're allowing you to use our Services, that doesn't mean that we're transferring ownership or any other rights to you or that we're allowing you to use our name, any trademarks, logos, or similar property as your own.

These Terms will take effect when you first use the Services and shall continue in full force and effect as long as you continue to use the Services.

You may not assign any of your rights or obligations in these Terms to anyone else and any attempt to do so will be void. If either party waives any rights regarding any breach or default of these Terms, that waiver shall not be deemed to waive any other breach or default.

The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern these Terms without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sales of Goods. In the event that a court rules that a provision of these Terms is unenforceable, that provision shall be replaced with an enforceable provision which most closely achieves the effect of the original and the remaining terms of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, employment, joint venture, or partnership relationship between us and you, and nothing in these Terms enables you to act on our behalf.
