-
- 12.1 Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. If you live outside the United States, you understand and agree that U.S. laws shall apply to the maximum extent permitted, and that our Services are intended to be compliant with U.S. laws (including privacy, accessibility, etc.) primarily.
-
-
- 12.2 Jurisdiction and Venue: Subject to applicable law, you and Tech for Palestine agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought in the federal or state courts located in Georgia, unless such jurisdiction is prohibited by law.

We both agree to waive any objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over us by these courts and to venue in these courts, including any claim that such legal action has been brought in an inconvenient forum, to the extent permitted by law.
-
-
- However, we reserve the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in any jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property or confidential information.
-
-

-
-
- 12.5 No Waiver: Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by Tech for Palestine of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Tech for Palestine to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
