RELEASE
If you have a dispute with one or more users of the Service, you release us from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. You also waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” You also waive any and all benefits and rights that would otherwise accrue to you by reason of the provisions of any federal or state statute or principle of common law of any state of the United States, or any political entity, nation, or province or local law or regulation that may govern this release, which statute, regulation, law or principle provides in substance something similar to California Civil Code § 1542.
GOVERNING LAW
These Terms of Use and the relationship between you and GIRLS LIFE will be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Maryland as an agreement wholly performed therein without regard to its conflict of law provisions and the United Nations Conventions on Contracts (if applicable).
Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Service will be submitted to confidential arbitration in Baltimore, Maryland, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or Federal court in the state of Maryland, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under these Terms of Use will be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s award will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms of Use will be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms of Use, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Use must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. Any claim by you that may arise in connection with these Terms of Use will be compensable by monetary damages and you will in no event be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief.
You also hereby expressly waive any right to resort to any form of class action.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms of Use. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
