Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, the Service, and any claim, cause of action or dispute arising out of or related thereto, will be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Israel, regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Service from, and without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles, which would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Israel.

General

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you the Company with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings, whether written or oral. No waiver, concession, extension, representation, alteration, addition or derogation from these Terms or pursuant hereto will be effective unless expressly effected in writing by our authorized representative. Neither party to these Terms will, by mere lapse of time, without giving express notice thereof, be deemed to have waived any breach, by the other party, of provisions of these Terms. A waiver, by either party, of any such breach, will not be construed as a waiver of subsequent breaches or as a continuing waiver of such breach.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer or delegate your rights or obligations under the Terms. Any purported assignment, transfer or delegation by you will be null and void. We may assign, transfer and delegate our rights and obligations under the Terms, to any third party, without notice to you and without obtaining your consent, provided that the third party to whom we assign or delegate our obligations, undertakes our obligations to you under the Terms. Contemporaneously with such assignment or delegation of our obligations, the Company is released from all its obligations to you under the Terms.

All examples in the Terms and all "i.e." and "such as" notations, indicate an illustration, by way of example only, of the preceding phrase, without limiting its generality. The paragraph headings herein are intended solely for the purpose of orientation and reading convenience, and will not be used for interpretational purposes.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise contrary to law, that provision must be construed in a manner consistent with the applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, its original intention, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
