The exclusive forums for the resolution of any dispute relating to these Terms and Conditions shall be the state and federal courts in Pitt County, North Carolina, U.S.A., and you agree to personal jurisdiction of such courts over you with regard to any dispute relating to these Terms and Conditions and agree to service of process on you by email to the address you have submitted on the Site, if any, and by any other means permitted by law.

Miscellaneous

You may not assign, sublicense, or otherwise transfer any of your rights under these Terms and Conditions.
