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.

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.

The city’s first homicide of the year went down in an Elmhurst karaoke bar

New York City’s first murder in 2024 occurred on New Year’s Day when a Manhattan bouncer stabbed two men outside an Elmhurst karaoke bar near 76th Street and Roosevelt Ave. just before 4 a.m. Torrance Holmes, 35, of Hamilton Heights, was arrested by detectives days later at his home and transported back to Queens to face justice.
