23. GENERAL INFORMATION

The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and LinkGrinder and govern your use of the Service, superceding any prior agreements between you and LinkGrinder. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. The TOS and the relationship between you and LinkGrinder shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and LinkGrinder agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Simi Valley, California. The failure of LinkGrinder to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
