20. International Use
If you are not a United States resident and you are accessing the Services from outside the United States, you agree to transfer certain information outside your home country to us and that you will follow all the laws that apply to you.
LCI’s servers and operations are located primarily in the United States and our policies and procedures are based primarily on United States law. Because of this, the following provisions apply specifically to users located outside of the United States: (i) you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information (including Submissions and personal data) to and in the United States and/or other countries; (ii) if you are using the Services from a country embargoed by the United States, or are on the United States Treasury Department’s list of “Specially Designated Nationals,” you are not authorized to access or use the Services; and (iii) you agree to comply with all local laws, rules, and regulations including all laws, rules, and regulations in effect in the country in which you reside and the country from which you access the Services. The Services are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject LCI or its affiliates to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.
21. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the DuPage County, Illinois, other than for actions to enforce any order or judgment entered by such courts. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR MYLION APP MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
22. General
You and LCI intend that the provisions of these Terms be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Where these terms are translated into languages other than English for your convenience, the English language version is controlling. If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You and LCI agree that if any provision is deemed unenforceable, where possible it will be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, which may include its deletion. Section titles are only for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance. Any list of examples following “including” or “e.g.,” is illustrative and not exhaustive, unless qualified by terms like “only” or “solely”. LCI may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights, if any, in your Account, to the Services, or under these Terms. If, at any time, LCI fails to respond to a breach of these Terms by you or others, that failure will not waive LCI’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. A waiver will only be binding on LCI if it is in writing and signed by LCI. These Terms (including any incorporated terms or policies) constitute the entire agreement between you and LCI with respect to your Account and the Services. Both you and LCI warrant to each other that, in entering these Terms, neither LCI nor you have relied on or will have any right or remedy based upon any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance other than those expressly stated in these Terms. The preceding sentence will not limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. No one other than you and LCI, or LCI’s successors and permitted assigns, will have any right to enforce any of these Terms.
