Assignment

You will not assign this Agreement or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lovingly. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of Lovingly will be null and void. Lovingly may assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without your consent. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify this Agreement.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by Lovingly of any term or condition set out in this Agreement 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 Lovingly to assert a right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms 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.

Modifications

We may modify this Agreement from time to time, and will always post the most current version on our site. If a modification meaningfully reduces your rights, we will notify you (by, for example, sending you an email or displaying a prominent notice within the Sites). The notice will designate the date on which the modifications become effective. Modifications will never apply retroactively. By continuing to use or access the Sites after any modifications come into effect, you agree to be bound by the modified Agreement, including any  price changes. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using the Sites.

Events Beyond Lovingly’s Control

We are not in breach of this Agreement or liable to you if there is any total or partial failure of the Sites resulting from any act, circumstance, event or matter beyond our reasonable control. This may include where such results from any act of God, fire, act of government or state or regulation, war, civil commotion, terrorism, insurrection, inability to communicate with third parties for whatever reason, failure of any computer dealing or necessary system, failure or delay in transmission of communications, failure of any internet service provider, strike, industrial action or lock-out or any other reason beyond our reasonable control.

Governing Law; Venue

If there is any dispute arising out of the Sites, by using the Sites, you expressly agree that any such dispute shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles and excluding that body of law known the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods. You acknowledge and agree that any violation of this Agreement may cause Lovingly irreparable harm, and therefore agree that Lovingly will be entitled to seek extraordinary relief in court, including but not limited to temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that Lovingly may have for a breach of this Agreement.
