Any use of SOCIAL EXPLORER beyond the scope or in violation of these Terms and Conditions of Use, knowing use of any password or username of another, or any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity, may be grounds for termination of your account, or termination of access to SOCIAL EXPLORER from your IP address, without notice and at SOCIAL EXPLORER's sole discretion. The foregoing includes but is not limited to activity by you that may burden SOCIAL EXPLORER's server(s) such as computer programs that automatically download or export Content, commonly known as web robots, spiders, crawlers, wanderers or accelerators.

Nothing in this Agreement should be construed or interpreted to limit those uses of Content printed or exported from SOCIAL EXPLORER that are permitted under the fair use, educational exceptions, or other provisions to the copyright laws or other intellectual property right laws in the United States or in other countries, but you make such uses at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions of Use should be construed as SOCIAL EXPLORER authorizing you to incorporate Content into electronic or print materials that are for purchase or are disseminated for commercial purposes (such as by a scholarly or commercial press), to make any commercial use of SOCIAL EXPLORER or Content therein, or to make any use, display, performance, reproduction, or distribution of SOCIAL EXPLORER or Content therein not expressly authorized in these Terms and Conditions of use. Copyright is not claimed by SOCIAL EXPLORER as to any work of the United States government, or to any work that is in the public domain.

16. General.
    a. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed according to, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York or United States Federal law, as applicable, excluding any such laws that might direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, and venue shall lie exclusively in the federal and state courts of the United States, excluding any such laws to the contrary. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over you and waive and agree not to assert any objection to proceedings in such courts unless your actions are on behalf of an institution whose license agreement with SOCIAL EXPLORER ("Institutional License") subjects it to the laws and/or jurisdiction of other than New York and/or the United States for the specific matter at issue and are consistent with such Institutional License. Your willful misconduct, tortuous interference with, or material violation of such Institutional License shall not be deemed to be actions on behalf of such institution or consistent with such Institutional License. Please contact your librarian or information services administrator for further details concerning your Institutional License. You expressly agree to waive all rights, if any, arising under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. You agree to waive all rights of application or appeal, if any, to non-U.S. courts in connection with any question of law arising in the course of any dispute herein, or with respect to any award made.
    
    b. If any provision or provisions of this License shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with the law of any jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby. A waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of other breaches of the Agreement.
    
    c. These Terms and Conditions of Use set forth the entire Agreement between us.
    
    d. This Agreement has been executed for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and is not intended for the benefit of any third party, and the Parties expressly disclaim the creation of any third party beneficiary rights under this Agreement.
