General Provisions

The Site and Service are controlled, operated and administered by Anxiety.org from our offices within the USA. If you access the Service from a location outside the USA, you are responsible for compliance with all local laws. You agree that you will not use the Anxiety.org content accessed through Anxiety.org in any country or in any manner prohibited by any applicable laws, restrictions or regulations.

We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under this TCU through one or more of our company affiliates (including any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us).

Unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) the term "or" shall not be exclusive; (ii) the term "including" shall mean "including, but not limited to," and (iii) the terms "herein," "hereof," "hereto," "hereunder" and other terms similar to such terms shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to the specific section, subsection, paragraph or clause where such terms may appear. The captions, section, subsection and any paragraph headings contained herein are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit or affect, and shall not be considered in connection with, the interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to the singular includes the plural where appropriate. Any reference in this Agreement to the masculine gender includes the feminine and neuter genders where appropriate.

If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect.

Terms and conditions of this Agreement which by their sense and context survive the completion, termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement will so survive.

To the extent that there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, this Agreement shall govern.

The failure of Anxiety.org to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TCU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these TCU is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severed herefrom and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, County of Orange, and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in California in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Site. Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including, without limitation, this section.

Anxiety.org may transfer, sub-contract or otherwise deal with your rights and/or obligations under these terms and conditions without notifying you or obtaining your consent.

You may not transfer, sub-contract or otherwise deal with your rights and/or obligations under these terms and conditions.

Unless otherwise specified herein, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the User and Anxiety.org with respect to the Site and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the User and Anxiety.org with respect to the Site.
