You will be responsible for any liability to us that arises out of your breach of the Terms of Use or your use of the Website. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MSL Group and our affiliates, agents, employees, and third party sources from and against any and all suits, losses, claims, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that arise from or relate to: (i) your use of the Website, (ii) your breach of the Terms of Use or any representation, warranty, or covenant made by you in the Terms of Use, (iii) your violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or of any third party’s rights, or (iv) claims asserted by third parties that, if proven, would place you in breach of representations, warranties, covenants, or other provisions contained in the Terms of Use.
The Terms of Use will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. The courts of California will have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of the Terms of Use, except with regard to injunctive relief. No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person who has initiated a putative class action in court or who is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (i) the class certification is denied; or (ii) the class is decertified; or (iii) the customer is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under the Terms of Use except to the extent stated herein.

You may not assign the Terms of Use or delegate any of your obligations under the Terms of Use. Any purported assignment of the Terms of Use in violation of the Terms of Use is void. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. The Terms of Use constitute the entire understanding, and supersedes all other understandings, between you and us concerning the subject matter hereof.
