We reserve the right, at our own expense, to employ separate counsel and assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms of use or the Cumulus Sites, including any Cumulus Internet Service, shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Atlanta, Georgia, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.

MODIFICATION/TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE CUMULUS SITES

At any time in our sole discretion, we may amend these Terms of Use (including by modification, deletion and/or addition of any portion thereof). If we make a material modification to these terms of use, we will notify you of such amendment by posting notice of such modification on the Cumulus Sites covered by these Terms of Use.

Cumulus reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any Cumulus Site and/or any portion thereof, including any Cumulus Internet Service, and/or your account, password, or use of any Cumulus Internet Service, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason with or without notice to you. Termination of your account for a Cumulus Internet Service removes your authorization to use the Cumulus Internet Service. In the event of termination, you will still be bound by your obligations under this Agreement and any Additional Terms, including the warranties made by you, and by the disclaimers and limitations of liability. Additionally, Cumulus shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to a Cumulus Internet Service.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

To the maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement and any Additional Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia as it is applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of law principles. You agree that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of, or connected with, this Agreement and/or the Additional Terms, or in connection with any matters related to this Cumulus Site and/or the Privacy Policy, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, exclusively in either the state or Federal courts located in Atlanta, Georgia. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Georgia for any cause of action arising out of this Agreement. You agree to file any cause of action with respect to this Agreement within one year after the cause of action arises. You agree that a cause of action filed after this date is barred.

If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is held invalid or for any reason, unenforceable including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations, then such provision shall be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that matches, as closely as possible, the original provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Unless expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Cumulus with respect to the use of a Cumulus Site and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by an authorized representative of Cumulus.
