11. Disclaimers; No Warranties

11.1 THE SITE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

11.2 NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SITE OR ODEN ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE ODEN ENTITIES OR THE SITE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

13. Miscellaneous

13.1 General Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), and any Additional Terms (defined below), are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Oden regarding your use of the Site. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, and all rights granted under these Terms, at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

13.2 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. You and Oden submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in the Southern District of New York for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms.

13.3 Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to our collection, use, storage, disclosure of your personal information. The Privacy Policy is incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.
