General Provisions

Failure by PD to enforce any provision(s) of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

The Site (excluding Third-Party Sites) is controlled by the PD which is headquartered in the State of Rhode Island, in the United States of America. It may be accessed from all fifty states, as well as from other countries around the world. Because each of these places has laws that may differ from those of Rhode Island, by accessing the Site you agree that the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, will apply to all matters arising from or relating to the use of the Site. Any controversy or claim shall be exclusively brought in the federal, state, or local courts of Providence, Rhode Island; and, with regard to such claims and disputes, you hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over them by these courts, and (ii) waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. PD makes no representation that materials on the Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and accessing them from territories where their contents are illegal is hereby prohibited. Individuals or organizations choosing to access the Site from other locations do so of their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

These Terms of Use and any additional terms referenced herein constitute the entire agreement between you and PD with respect to the Site. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent possible, and the remaining Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms of Use inure to the benefit of PD, its successors and assigns.
