US, which policy is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference.
18. MISCELLANEOUS
The Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Kentucky as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Kentucky between Kentucky residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Brand must be resolved by a court located in Louisville of Kentucky, unless agreed in writing otherwise by the parties. If any provision of the Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or, if not capable of reformation, will be deemed severable from the Terms, and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, including by operation of law or otherwise, but may be assigned by Brand without restriction. The Terms (including the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and Brand relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to the Terms as set forth in Section 1.2 above. Failure by Brand at any time to require performance of any provision of the Terms will in no manner affect its right to enforce the same at a later time. The provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive the termination of these Terms by their nature will survive such termination.
The services hereunder are offered by Turquoise Morning Press located at PO Box 43958, Louisville, KY, US. You may contact us by sending correspondence to the foregoing address or by emailing us at contact@turquoisemorning.com. If you are a California resident, you may have these Terms mailed to you electronically by sending a letter to the foregoing address with your electronic mail address and a request for these Terms.
