MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Severability. If any term or provision in the Terms of Use is found to be void, against public policy, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and such finding or order becomes final with all appeals exhausted, then the offending provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, then the same shall be deemed stricken from the Terms of Use in its entirety, and the remainder of this Terms of Use shall survive with the said offending provision eliminated.

WEBSITE AVAILABILITY. BECAUSE PUBLIC NETWORKS, SUCH AS THE INTERNET, OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE DISRUPTIONS, MARYVILLE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SITE WILL BE AVAILABLE 100% OF THE TIME. ALTHOUGH MARYVILLE STRIVES TO PROVIDE A RELIABLE WEBSITE, INTERRUPTIONS AND DELAYS IN ACCESSING THE SITE ARE UNAVOIDABLE, AND MARYVILLE DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS.

Typographical Errors. Information on the Site may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. We attempt to make the Site’s postings as accurate as possible, but Maryville does not warrant the content of the Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Terms of Use.

Controlling Law and Venue. It is understood and agreed that all the construction and interpretation of this Terms of Use and the relationship between the parties shall at all times and in all respects be governed by the internal laws of the State of Missouri, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. Venue of any action brought to enforce or relating to this Terms of Use or arising out of the relationship between the parties shall be brought exclusively in the courts of St. Louis County, Missouri.
