    14.  MISCELLANEOUS

    The Governing Laws will govern this Agreement, without reference to rules governing choice of laws or the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. PetZONE360 and you each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration PetZONE360 and you each waive any right to a jury trial.

    You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt to assign or otherwise transfer in violation of this section is void; provided, however, that upon notice to PetZONE360, you may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of your Affiliates as long as you remain liable for your obligations that arose prior to the effective date of the assignment or transfer under this Agreement. You agree that we may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under this Agreement: (a) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or similar transaction; or (b) to any Affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganization; and effective upon such assignment, the assignee is deemed substituted for PetZONE360 as the party to this Agreement.

We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under this Agreement through one or more of our Affiliates. PetZONE360 retains the right to immediately halt any of Your Transactions, prevent or restrict access to the Services or take any other action to restrict access to or availability of any inaccurate listing, any inappropriately categorized items, any unlawful items, or any items otherwise prohibited. Because PetZONE360 is not your agent, PetZONE360 will not act as either party's agent in connection with resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any transaction.

    PetZONE360 will provide notice to you under this Agreement by posting changes to Seller Zone or to the applicable PetZONE360 Services site to which the changes relate (such as the Developer Site accessible through your account), by sending you an email notification, or by similar means.

You may change your e-mail addresses and certain other information in Seller Zone, as applicable. You will ensure that all of your information is up to date and accurate at all times.

    If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. 

    15.  PRODUCT LISTINGS AND ORDERS

    16.  SELLER PROTECTION

    PetZONE360 provides limited protection to sellers. PetZONE360 will attempt to mediate issues if you and a buyer are unable to settle on your own.
