16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version and change the "Last Updated" date above. If we make a material change, we may also provide additional notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought in the state or federal courts serving Jefferson County, Wisconsin, and each party consents to that venue and personal jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, collective, or representative action.

18. General Provisions

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and replace prior understandings on that subject.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
