  1. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction

This Agreement, and all claims relating to or arising out of this contract, or the breach thereof, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without consideration of choice of law principals.  All actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement shall be tried and litigated only in the state courts located in the State of Connecticut.

  1. Disputes

In the case of any dispute arising under this Agreement which cannot be settled by reasonable discussion, the parties agree that, prior to commencing any proceeding, they will first engage the services of a professional mediator agreed upon by the parties and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through confidential nonbinding mediation. Each party shall bear one-half (1/2) of the mediator’s fees and expenses and shall pay all of its own attorneys’ fees and expenses related to the mediation. If mediation is not successful in resolving all disputes arising out of this Agreement, those unresolved disputes shall be settled by arbitration with one (1) arbitrator belonging to the American Arbitration Association in the State of Connecticut; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have no authority to add to, modify, change, or disregard any lawful terms of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy. Arbitration shall be the exclusive final remedy for any dispute between the parties.

  1. Miscellaneous

Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as making any party the partner, joint venturer, agent, legal representative, employer, contractor or employee of the other. Neither party shall have or hold itself out to any third party as having any authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that shall be binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any term or provision of these Terms shall in no way effect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other term or provision of these Terms. The provisions of these Terms are severable, and if any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision may be removed and the remaining provisions will be enforced. No waiver by New Silver of any right under or term or provision of these terms and conditions of use will be deemed a waiver of any other right, term or provision of these terms and conditions of use at that time or a waiver of that or any other right, term or provision of these terms and conditions of use at any other time. These Terms may be assigned by us to an associated entity at any time, or to a third party without your consent in the event of a sale or other transfer of some or all of our assets. In the event of any sale or transfer, you will remain bound by these Terms. These Terms will be binding on and will inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
