25. MISCELLANEOUS

 

These Terms of Use represents the complete agreement between you and EMMAWELL concerning the Platform and supersedes all prior agreements and representations, warranties or understandings between you and EMMAWELL (whether negligently or innocently made but excluding those made fraudulently), regarding the same subject matter. Except with respect to any HIPAA BAA entered into between you and EMMAWELL, EMMAWELL reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use at any time, at its sole discretion. If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms of Use shall continue in effect. Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms of Use or related rights shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

 

EMMAWELL may assign these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, at any time. Notwithstanding, you may not assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without EMMAWELL’s express prior written consent.

The parties agree that all correspondence relating to these Terms of Use shall be written in the English language.

 

These Terms of Use represents the full agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements between the parties regarding the same. 

 

These Terms of Use shall be governed by the law of the State of Delaware, without reference to conflicts of laws principles.  Notwithstanding the arbitration requirements set forth herein, to the extent that any legal suit, action or proceeding arises out of, or relates to, these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy or the Platform, such suit shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the state courts of the State of Pennsylvania, in each case located in Montgomery County, PA. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
