TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or
(d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of GravityFed, its users and the public.

22. GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and GravityFed and governs your
use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and GravityFed. You
also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use
affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. The TOS and the

without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and GravityFed agree to submit to
the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Salt
Lake City, Utah. The failure of GravityFed to exercise or enforce any right or provision
of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of
the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties
nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties'
intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS 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 Service or the TOS
must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
