Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions, as well as your access to and use of thesporemarket.com, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions or principles, and regardless of your domicile, residence, or physical location at the time of any dispute. The application of any other law, whether domestic or international, is expressly excluded.

Any and all legal actions, claims, disputes, or proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or in connection with your use of thesporemarket.com, including any issues related to intellectual property, contractual obligations, or any matter arising under these Terms, shall be exclusively brought before the competent courts of the State of New York or the United States District Courts located within the State of New York, United States of America.

You hereby agree that any such action or proceeding shall be brought solely in the aforementioned courts, and you further waive any right to assert that such courts constitute an improper or inconvenient venue for the resolution of any legal dispute, or that such courts lack jurisdiction over you for any reason. This provision shall apply regardless of where you are located or the location from which you accessed thesporemarket.com.

Waiver

No failure or delay on the part of The Spore Market or any other party in exercising any right, remedy, power, or privilege under these Terms and Conditions shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any such failure or delay be construed as an abandonment, relinquishment, or impairment of any such right, remedy, power, or privilege. The express or implied waiver of any breach or default under these Terms and Conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, nor shall any such waiver affect or limit the exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder at any time thereafter.

Furthermore, the partial or single exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege by any party shall not preclude or limit the full or further exercise of such right, remedy, power, or privilege, nor shall it preclude or limit the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege, whether arising under these Terms and Conditions or otherwise. No course of dealing, conduct, or custom shall operate as a waiver of any provision of these Terms and Conditions, and any waiver of any term or condition shall be effective only if expressly set forth in writing and executed by the party granting such waiver.

Severability

In the event that any provision, term, clause, or condition of these Terms and Conditions is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect, impair, or render void any other provision, term, clause, or condition of these Terms and Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be construed, to the extent possible, in a manner that most closely reflects the original intent of the parties, in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and the intent of these Terms and Conditions.

The determination of invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the same or similar provision in any other jurisdiction, and these Terms and Conditions shall be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been included herein. Each provision of these Terms and Conditions is severable, and the enforceability of any remaining provisions shall not be impaired or affected by the determination of invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any other provision.
