20.GENERAL PROVISIONS

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

The TowerTunes Site is controlled and offered by TowerTunes from its facilities in the United States of America. TowerTunes makes no representations that the TowerTunes Site is appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you access or use the TowerTunes Site from other jurisdictions, you do so at you own volition and risk, and you are responsible for compliance with local law.

This Agreement, together with the TowerTunes Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published from time to time by TowerTunes on the TowerTunes Site, is the entire agreement between you and TowerTunes related to the TowerTunes Site and Services, replacing any prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements, and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof. If there is any conflict between this agreement and a signed written agreement between you and TowerTunes related to the TowerTunes Site, the signed written agreement will control. The section titles in this agreement do not limit the other terms of this Agreement.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or a portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

This Agreement is governed by Alabama law. THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS SITTING IN ALABAMA. YOU AND TOWERTUNES CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THESE COURTS. You agree that the TowerTunes Site shall be deemed solely based in Alabama and that the TowerTunes Site shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over TowerTunes, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Alabama. A printed version of this Agreement shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings. Nothing in this agreement limits either party's ability to seek equitable relief. In the event of any litigation or other proceedings in connection with TowerTunes’ enforcement of any provision of this Agreement or arising from or related to the Service the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all costs incurred, including staff time, court costs, attorney's fee and all other related expenses in such litigation or proceedings. In the event of a non-adjudicative settlement of litigation between the parties or a resolution of dispute by arbitration, the term "prevailing party" shall be determined by that same process.

Any claim related to this Agreement or the TowerTunes Site may not be brought unless made within the one-year period beginning on the date when the claim first could be filed. If it is not filed within such time, then that claim is permanently barred. This applies to you and your successors as well as to TowerTunes and its successors and assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, notice to TowerTunes shall be by U.S. mail or recognized national overnight delivery service at Attn: Legal Department, TowerTunes, 17911 Highway 96, Kennedy, AL 35574. We do not accept e-mail notices. Notice to you may be made by e-mail to the email address you provide during the registration process, by U.S. mail or recognized national overnight delivery service to the address provided during the registration process.

Failure to enforce any provision will not constitute a waiver of that provision. If any provision is found unenforceable, it and any related provisions will be interpreted to best accomplish the unenforceable provision's essential purpose, and the rest of this agreement will not change.

Nothing in this agreement creates an agency, partnership, or joint venture. There are no other third party beneficiaries to this agreement.

TowerTunes may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not transfer to anyone else, either temporarily or permanently, any rights to use the TowerTunes Site or any part of TowerTunes Site except as otherwise expressly provided in this agreement.

The parties to this agreement waive their respective rights to a trial by jury. In the event that any provision in the Terms of Service is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

The relationship of the parties under the Terms of Service is that of independent contractors and the Terms of Service shall not be construed to imply that either party is the agent, employee, or joint venturer of the other.
