CONTROLLING LAW; JURISDICTION

The validity, construction and enforceability of these Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, and the parties expressly agree that any dispute requiring resolution by a court shall be subject to the sole and exclusive venue and jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving Dane County, Wisconsin.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any dispute or claim arising under or in any way related to these Terms, with the exception of recovery by Pursuit of any unpaid amounts from you (which may be recovered by Pursuit via collections, small claims court action, or any other legal remedy available to Pursuit), shall be submitted to neutral, non-binding mediation prior to the commencement of arbitration or any other proceeding before a trier of fact.

WAIVER

The failure or delay by Pursuit to enforce or exercise any provisions of these Terms shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions within these Terms. Furthermore, any waiver or breach of any provision of these Terms shall not amount to a waiver of any other provision.

SURVIVAL
