As used in these Terms: (i) the words “hereof”, “hereunder”, “herein” and words of similar import refer to these Terms as a whole and not to any particular provision of these Terms; (ii) the words “include” and “including”, and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) except as otherwise expressly indicated, all references in these Terms to “Sections”, “Subsections”, “Paragraphs”, “Schedules”, “Exhibits” are intended to refer to sections, subsections or paragraphs of these Terms; and (iv) the word “or” means “and/or”.

C. Controlling Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and your use of the Services will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Miami-Dade County, Florida or a United States District Court, Southern District of Florida located in Miami-Dade County, Florida for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other Intellectual Property Rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision.
D. Severability
If any provision of these Terms, or the application of such provision, is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of these Terms, and the application of such provision to persons, entities, or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected.
E. Waiver and Enforceability
The failure of All About The Mom to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of All About The Mom. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
F. Third Party Beneficiary
These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the payment card networks are third party beneficiaries of these Terms for purposes of enforcing provisions related to payments, but that their consent or agreement is not necessary for any changes or modifications to these Terms.
G. Term and Termination
These Terms are effective upon your access and use of the Platform or of any User Feature, as amended by any modifications made by All About The Mom as outlined at the start of these Terms.
