9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Site is hosted on servers located in the United States and is intended to be viewed by residents of the United States. The Terms of Use shall be deemed to be agreed to by you in St. Louis County, Missouri. The Terms of Use, and all matters arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Missouri and the United States, without giving effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof and excluding any application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. You consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal courts sitting in St. Louis, Missouri, unless no federal subject matter jurisdiction exists, in which case you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts sitting in St. Louis County, Missouri. You hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which you may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. You agree that any cause of action that you may desire to bring arising out of or related to the Terms of Use must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arises; otherwise, such cause of action shall be permanently barred.

10. General Provisions

If any provision of the Terms of Use is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, then the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be modified in accordance with the applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intention of the applicable provision, and the remaining sections of the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. No right or remedy conferred by the Terms of Use is exclusive of any other right or remedy conferred herein or by law or in equity; rather, all of such rights and remedies are cumulative of every other such right or remedy and may be exercised concurrently or separately from time-to-time. Ranken Jordan may provide notice to you relating to the Terms of Use by sending an email to your last known email address, if any, your last known postal address, if any, or posting a notice on the Site, and any such notice shall be deemed given and received on the earlier of the day it is sent to you or the day it is posted on the Site. A printed version of the Terms of Use and of any notices given to you in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The failure of Ranken Jordan to insist upon or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of the Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. If Ranken Jordan brings any suit against you to enforce the Terms of Use or otherwise in connection with your use and/or enter of the Site, you agree that if Ranken Jordan prevails in such suit Ranken Jordan shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred in such suit including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Terms of Use.
