We recognize that the Website may be accessed from anywhere in the world, and that the laws of the jurisdictions in which some users are located may differ substantially from those of the United States and the State of California. Users should be aware that data related to the Website is hosted in the United States. Because we cannot practicably prevent users in different jurisdictions from accessing the Website, you are responsible for knowing and complying with the laws of your jurisdiction. If such laws conflict with your use of the Website or any of its content, the Website is not intended for you, and we ask you not to use it.

Entire Agreement, Admissibility, and Severability

These Terms of Use and any policies or operating rules posted on the Website constitute the entire agreement and understanding between Taovation and you with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications or proposals between Taovation and you with respect to such subject matter; provided that any written contractual agreement between you and Taovation in connection with provision of any products or services supersedes any contrary information in the Website.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is determined by a competent court with jurisdiction in the matter to be invalid, unenforceable, or void pursuant to applicable law, that determination shall not invalidate or void the remainder of these Terms of Use, and the parties agree and intend that this agreement shall be amended by changing the offending provision only as far as is necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its intention or, if such modification is not possible, the parties will substitute another provision that is valid, legal, and enforceable to achieve, as far as possible, the same results between the parties.

No Waiver
