General.

If any of these conditions are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the unenforceable condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition. From time to time, Squeebles may offer special promotional offers which may or may not apply to you as a User of the Site. You agree to be bound by any additional terms and conditions for these special offers. Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section. This TOS and the relationship between you and Squeebles will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Squeebles agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to any legal proceedings that may arise in connection with this TOS. The failure of Squeebles to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this TOS, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this TOS. This TOS, together with the Privacy Policy and any other terms and conditions linked to from this TOS, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Squeebles regarding the subject matter hereof and governs your use of the Site and Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Squeebles with respect to the Site and Services.
