6. Governing Law

These Terms of Service ("Terms") shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be resolved exclusively by the state or federal courts located within the State of Ohio. The parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to venue therein.

Furthermore, the parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms or any transaction conducted thereunder. In the event that any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written.

No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms and any rights and licenses granted hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction.

7. Waiver

No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of a party to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Furthermore, no waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by both parties. This ensures that any modifications or exceptions to the Terms are explicitly agreed upon and documented, preventing any misunderstandings or disputes regarding the enforceability of the Terms.

8. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms. The parties agree to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves, to the extent possible, the economic, legal, and commercial objectives of the original provision.

This severability clause ensures that the Terms remain enforceable and effective even if certain provisions are found to be invalid or unenforceable, thereby preserving the overall intent and purpose of the agreement between the parties.

9. Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable. The parties agree that the intent of this provision is to preserve the enforceability of these Terms to the greatest extent possible, while ensuring compliance with applicable law.

If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The severance of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms in any one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms in any jurisdiction.

The parties agree to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves, to the extent possible, the economic, legal, and commercial objectives of the original provision. This ensures that the intent and purpose of the agreement between the parties are preserved, even in the face of unforeseen legal challenges or changes in applicable law.

This severability clause is intended to be interpreted broadly and to apply to any and all provisions of these Terms, regardless of their nature or subject matter. The parties acknowledge that the enforceability of these Terms is essential to their business relationship and agree to cooperate in good faith to ensure that the Terms remain valid and enforceable at all times.
