However, any changes to Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice prior to the date the change is posted on the Site.

Privacy Policy
EJCR and NAD are committed to protecting the privacy of online users. We do not collect personally identifiable information about individuals—such as names or postal/email addresses—except when that information is knowingly provided by such individuals. This privacy policy applies only to use of the Site and does not apply to any other website.
EJCR and NAD will not sell, trade, or rent the personal information you provide us. We may compile and provide aggregate statistics about our visitors, traffic patterns, and related site information, but these statistics will not include any personally-identifying information. We may share the personal and aggregate information we collect with our affiliates and other sites operated by and for us. On a confidential basis, we may also share personal information with our corporate affiliates or consultants, or with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf (such as general administration purposes for the Site). We may elect to share aggregate information with third parties for advertising and promotional purposes. If all or part of the EJCR is sold, merged or is otherwise transferred to another entity, the information you have provided on or through the Site may be transferred to such entity as part of that transaction. We may also disclose personal information in response to legal process, such as a request by law enforcement, a court order or subpoena, or to protect the integrity of the Site if we believe that a user has committed unlawful or otherwise harmful acts.
The IP addresses of our users are collected only for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our corporate affiliates or consultants, or with third parties that perform a particular service on our behalf. We do not combine IP addresses with any personally identifying information, nor do we compile any session activity reports by IP address.
This Site is hosted in the United States. If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from United States law, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States and by providing your personal data you consent to that transfer and to our use of that information in accordance with this policy. When you provide personal data to us or our service providers or vendors, you consent to the processing of your data in the United States as the Site is operated in the United States.
You acknowledge that the laws of the United States treat your information in a manner that may be substantially different from, and less protective than, the treatment required under the laws of other countries and jurisdictions. If you do not want your information transferred to the United States, you should not share your information with us, or make use of this site.
To the extent allowed by the law of the country in which you are located, you expressly waive any right you may have to require us to treat your identifying information in accordance with the laws of any country or jurisdiction other than the United States. However, the foregoing waiver may not be legally binding in some countries, such as the member states of the European union, to the extent it is not legally binding in the country in which you are located, this foregoing waiver does not apply to you.
We hope you will read this privacy policy carefully in order to clearly understand both our commitment to your privacy and our method of collecting and using information.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver of/by NAD and EJCR of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use 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 NAD and/or EJCR to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use 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.
Entire Agreement
The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and EJCR and NAD jointly with respect to the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Site.
