You and Spartan both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
In simple terms, “non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts” means that if you were able to bring a claim arising from or in connection with this Agreement against us in Court, an acceptable court would be a court located in England, but you may also elect to bring a claim in the court of another country instead. English law will apply in all cases.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.
In our sole discretion, we may transfer our rights and obligations (also known as “assign”) under this Agreement in accordance with the Notices Section (but without your prior express consent), provided that we assign the Agreement on the same terms or terms that are no less advantageous to you.

Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of this Agreement.

We may amend this Agreement at any time by email, or by posting the amended terms on this site. Except as stated elsewhere, all amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted. This Agreement may not be otherwise amended except in writing hand signed by you and us. For the purposes of this provision, “in writing” does not include an email message and “hand signed” does not include an electronic signature.

Except as set out above, this Agreement may not be altered by us or by you unless we both agree in writing hand signed by you and us.  For the purposes of this provision, “in writing” does not include an email message and “hand signed” does not include an electronic signature.

The Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior understandings and representations of the parties.
