These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other agreements, statements, and other arrangements between the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof.

Each party acknowledges that it has not relied on or been induced to enter these Terms of Use by a representation other than those expressly set out in these Terms of Use. The MEGCT and You do not intend to confer, and these Terms of Use will not be construed as conferring, any right, remedy, obligation or liability of any kind on any person other than the the MEGCT Parties, You, and their successors and assigns. No modification, alteration or waiver of any of the provisions of these Terms of Use will be effective unless in writing and signed on behalf of each of the Parties. No waiver of any of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and the MEGCT’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that the Service shall be deemed solely based in Minnesota, United States of America and the Service shall be deemed a passive Service that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over the the MEGCT Parties in jurisdictions other than Minnesota. These Terms of Use are governed by United States and Minnesota law, without regard to conflict of law provisions, and the Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hennepin County, Minnesota in relation to any dispute between them arising out of the subject matter of these Terms of Use.
