    Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

    All matters relating to our Services and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

    Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or our Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the City and County of New York and New York County, respectively. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

    Limitation on Time to File Claims.

    ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR OUR SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

    Waiver and Severability.

    No waiver by the Partnership of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use 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 or delay of the Partnership to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

    If any term, provision, covenant or condition of these Terms of Use, or any application thereof, should be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, all other provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. Further, all provisions, covenants and conditions held invalid, void or unenforceable shall be reformed by such a court of competent jurisdiction in a manner that is valid, not void and enforceable and in such a fashion as to best effectuate the intent of the Partnership as evident with respect to the provisions, covenants or conditions that were held to be invalid, void or unenforceable.

    Assignment.

    These Terms of Use, and any rights and/or licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned, licensed or transferred by the Partnership without restriction or notice to you.

    Entire Agreement.
