Any invalid or ineffective provision will be interpreted and adapted to the extent necessary to make it valid, effective, and consistent with its original purpose.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the User and the Owner with respect to the subject matter governed and prevail over any other communication, including any previous agreements, between the parties regarding the subject matter governed.

European Users

If any provision of these Terms is or becomes void, invalid, or ineffective, the parties will endeavor to find, amicably, a valid and effective replacement provision for the void, invalid, or ineffective provision.
