All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Except for disputes in which you or the Company seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute resolved in court.
