XXIII. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the District of Columbia without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction).

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of Washington, D.C although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Notwithstanding any other terms in this Terms of Use, you acknowledge and agree that any actual or threated breach by you of these Terms of Use will cause NPCA irreparable injury for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, NPCA shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the obligation to post any bond, to remedy or mitigate any such actual or threated breach. This provision will not limit, and instead is in addition to, any other remedies available to NPCA at law or in equity.

XXIV. Arbitration

At NPCA’s sole discretion, it may require you to submit any disputes arising from these Terms of Use or use of the Website, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, to final and binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying Washington, D.C.’s laws.

XXV. Limitation on Time to File Claims

TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

XXVI. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by NPCA of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of NPCA to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

All headings in this Terms of Use are for convenience only and will not be considered when interpreting its terms. The Terms of Use is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties’ successors and permitted assigns.
