Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
In the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the parties conclude, after a reasonable good faith attempt to resolve the dispute, that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter at issue does not appear likely, the parties may, but are not required to, consider alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as arbitration, before beginning formal proceedings for the judicial resolution of such dispute. These Terms of Use and all matters relating thereto will be deemed to have been entered into in the State of Indiana and will be governed under the laws of the State of Indiana (without giving effect to the principles governing conflicts of law). The exclusive jurisdiction for any litigation required to resolve any disputes under these Terms of Use will be in the state and federal courts located in Allen County, Indiana, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives objection to venue.
