Our or our partners’ failure to act in a particular circumstance, including a failure to enforce any term of an official rule, does not waive our ability to act with respect to that circumstance or similar circumstances.

The section headings and titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Any provision in these Terms that by its nature should survive the termination of your license to access the Service or any termination of these Terms (including, without limitation, provisions governing indemnification, limitations on liability, disclaimers of warranty, and ownership of intellectual property) will continue to remain in full force and effect after any such termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Austria, excluding conflict of laws principles. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be commenced within one year after the claim arose and will be settled by binding arbitration.

The arbitration will be conducted in Vienna, Austria and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court of competent jurisdiction. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by Austrian law. Either party may seek any interim or preliminary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, as necessary to protect the party's rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.
