Choice of Law and Dispute Resolution
The Terms of Services shall be deemed to have been entered into and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama as applied to contracts made and performed entirely within Alabama, without giving effect to any conflicts of law statutes. Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or related to the Terms, the Privacy Policy or the Services shall be settled by final and binding arbitration to be conducted by an arbitration tribunal in the State of Alabama and the County of Shelby, pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

General Legal Terms
The Terms, including the Privacy Policy, constitute the whole legal agreement between You and Basecanvas and govern Your use of the Services and completely replace any prior agreements between You and Basecanvas in relation to the Services.
If any part of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
The failure of Basecanvas to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
You agree that if Basecanvas does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Basecanvas has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Basecanvas's rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Basecanvas.
Basecanvas shall not be liable for failing or delaying performance of its obligations resulting from any condition beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, governmental action, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disasters, labor conditions, power failures, and Internet disturbances.
We may assign this contract at any time to any parent, subsidiary, or any affiliated company, or as part of the sale to, merger with, or other transfer of our company to another entity.
