11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of England and Wales and not by the laws of any other jurisdiction. The parties mutually consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts for England and Wales, and agree that any action, suit or proceeding concerning this Site will not be raised, in connection therewith, any defense or objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, inconvenience of forum or the like.

11.2 Waiver and Severability. Failure by either party to exercise any of its rights under, or to enforce any provision of, this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of such rights or ability to enforce such provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

11.3 General Provisions. This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement between the parties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements between the parties respecting such subject matter.
