The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and

when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. The TOS and

Swaziland without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and MailFly agree to
submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the Kingdom
of Swaziland. The failure of MailFly 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

have no legal or contractual effect. Please report any violations of the TOS to our Customer
