29. Other Important Terms
We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organization, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing. However, if you are a consumer and you have purchased a Product as a gift, you may transfer the benefit of your Contract to the recipient of the gift without needing to ask our consent. You must however tell us in writing (which shall include email) that you have done this.
This contract is between you and us, and no other person shall have the rights to enforce its terms. However, if you are a consumer, the recipient of your gifted Product will benefit from the contract made between us and the original purchaser. Neither we nor you will require their consent to cancel or make any changes to these Terms.
Each paragraph of these Terms functions independently. Should any court or competent authority determine that any of them are illegal or unenforceable, the other paragraphs will continue to be valid and enforceable.
Failure to promptly enforce your obligations under these Terms, or to exercise our rights, or any delay in doing so, does not constitute a waiver of our rights. Any waiver of your default will be explicitly stated in writing and does not imply an automatic waiver of any subsequent default.
As a consumer, please be aware that these Terms are subject to American law. This implies that any Contract for purchasing Products via our site, along with any disputes or claims associated with it, will be regulated by American law. Both you and we consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in America and Kentucky.
For businesses, these Terms are subject to American law. Consequently, any Contract and disputes or claims related to it, whether contractual or non-contractual, shall be governed by American law. Both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in America and Kentucky.
We will not file a copy of the Contract between us.

They govern your use of the Service, overriding any prior agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including any previous versions of the Terms of Service).
