Under no circumstances may you “frame” the Site or any of their Content or copy portions of the Site to a server, except as part of an Internet service provider’s incidental caching of pages. When a page of our Site is accessed from a link featured on your website, each page within our Site must be displayed in full (including all trademarks, branding, advertising and promotional materials), without any accompanying frame, border, margin, design, branding, trademark, advertising, or promotional materials not originally displayed on the page within the Site, and without any interstitial pop-ups or web pages loading before the applicable target page is accessed.

Any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of our Digital Services or any products, services, or information you receive through our Digital Services, shall be submitted to confidential, binding arbitration in Seattle, Washington, USA, pursuant to the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, using one arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be mutually agreed upon by both parties, or if the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, they each will choose one arbitrator, and those two will together choose a third arbitrator, and a panel of three arbitrators will hear the matter. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration under these Terms of Use may be joined with another arbitration related to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration requirement, with regard to any actual or potential violation of our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in the courts of Seattle, Washington, USA, and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive all objections thereto.
The laws of the state of Washington and the United States govern these Terms of Service and any claims arising out of or relating to use of the Digital Services, without giving effect to any choice of law rules. We make no representation that our Digital Services are appropriate, legal or available for use outside of the United States. With the exception of any matters subject to arbitration as described above, the state and federal courts located in Seattle, Washington will serve as the venue for any actions brought, or claims made, arising out of your use of our Digital Services.
If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, the other provisions (and any partially-enforceable provision) shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid and enforceable to the maximum possible extent. You agree that these Terms of Service and any other agreements referenced herein may be assigned by SHERIDAN HEADLIGHT, in our sole discretion. These Terms of Service shall apply in addition to, and shall not be superseded by, any other written agreement between us in relation to your participation as a User. You agree and understand that these Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and SHERIDAN HEADLIGHT regarding your use of the Digital Services, and that any and all prior agreements between you and SHERIDAN HEADLIGHT are superseded by these Terms of Service. Any failure by SHERIDAN HEADLIGHT to exercise its rights under these Terms of Service or to enforce the terms hereof will not constitute a waiver of those rights. If any term of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court in any event should try to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that all of the other provisions of these Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Digital Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
