12. Survival of Terms After Agreement Ends
Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms of Use, or any general legal principles to the contrary, any provision of these Terms of Use that imposes or contemplates continuing obligations on a party will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms of Use.
13. General
If any of the provisions set forth in these Terms of Use are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the unenforceable condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions of these Terms of Use. Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. These Terms of Use and the relationship between you and Outer Boro will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If a dispute arises under these Terms of Use between you and Outer Boro, such dispute shall be resolved, at the filing party’s election, in either a small claims court or by final and binding arbitration administered by the National Arbitration Forum or the American Arbitration Association, under their rules for consumer arbitrations. The venue for all disputes arising under these Terms of Use shall be New York, the State of New York. All disputes in arbitration will be handled solely between the named parties, and not on any representative or class basis. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A COURT (OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT) OR TO A JURY TRIAL. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Use, any member of Mighty News may resort to court action for injunctive relief at any time.
The failure of Outer Boro to act with respect to a breach of these Terms of Use by you or others does not waive Outer Boro’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. If any content on this Site, or your use of the Site, is contrary to the laws of the place where you are when you access it, the Site is not intended for you, and we ask you not to use the Site. You are responsible for informing yourself of the laws of your jurisdiction and complying with them.
Outer Boro does not guarantee it will take action against all breaches of these Terms of Use. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Use, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms of Use.
14. Changes to These Terms of Use
Outer Boro reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, at any time, by posting revised terms on the Site. It is your responsibility to check periodically for any changes we make to the Terms of Use. Your continued use of this site after any changes to the Terms of Use means you accept the changes.
15. Entire Agreement and Admissibility
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and Outer Boro with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
In some instances, both of these Terms of Use and a separate document that provides additional conditions may apply to a service or product offered via this Site (“Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.
A printed version of these Terms of Use shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based on or relating to use of this site to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
