Termination

Selerity may, at any time and in its sole discretion, for any or no reason and without prior notice to you, terminate your access to and use of the Site and/or any or all of the Services. Causes for such termination shall include, but are not limited to: (a) breaches or violations of the T&C or other agreements, policies or guidelines, (b) requests by law enforcement or other government or regulatory authorities, or (c) violation of third party copyrights or other intellectual property rights.

Miscellaneous

The Site and the Services are directed solely to individuals residing in jurisdictions in which provision thereof is legal. We make no representation that any Services provided on the Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access the Site and use the Services from locations in which such access and use is illegal do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent applicable. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Site and the Services to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction we so desire, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the scope of any Service we provide.

 

These T&C shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, as to all matters, including, but not limited to, matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.  In no event shall these T&C be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Further, UCITA whether enacted in whole or in part by any state or applicable jurisdiction, regardless of how codified shall not apply to this Agreement and is hereby disclaimed.

 

In connection with any litigation arising out of or relating to these T&C, each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in New York State courts located in the County of New York, in the borough of Manhattan and in the federal courts located in the Southern District of New York.

 

In the event that any court having competent jurisdiction over the interpretation of these T&C shall finally determine that one or more of the provisions contained herein shall be unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited and restricted to the extent that such court shall deem it to be enforceable, and, as so limited or restricted, shall remain in full force and effect.  In the event that any such provision or provisions shall be deemed wholly unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.  Any such judicial interpretation requiring limitation or deletion of a provision shall be valid only in the jurisdiction in which such interpretation is made.

No failure or delay on the part of either party in the exercise of any right, power or remedy under these T&C shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

You may not assign or otherwise transfer these T&C or any rights or obligations hereunder.
