9. Dispute

These Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. You hereby agree that any cause of action you may have with respect to ACE must be filed in a federal or state court located in Los Angeles, California, within two months of the time in which the events giving rise to such claim began, or you agree to waive such claim. If for any reason any provision of this TOS is found unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties as reflected in that provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Any failure of ACE to enforce or exercise any provision of this TOS or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. The section titles used in this TOS are purely for convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect. In the event of termination of this TOS for any reason, you agree that the following provisions will survive: the provisions regarding the limitations on your use of Content, the license(s) you have granted to ACE, and all other provisions for which survival is equitable or appropriate.

10. General

You acknowledge and agree that these TOS, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between us concerning your use of the Website, and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change these TOS at any time by posting the changes on the Website. Any changes are effective immediately upon posting to the Website. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your agreement to all such TOS. We may, with or without prior notice, terminate any of the rights granted by these TOS. You shall comply immediately with any termination or other notice, including, as applicable, by ceasing all use of the Website.

Nothing contained in these TOS shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between us. Our failure to require your performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall our waiver of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any provision of these TOS shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by any applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these TOS unenforceable or invalid as a whole. We will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, our original objectives and intent as reflected in the original provision.

If you have any questions regarding these TOS, please contact us.
