These Terms of Use and any documents expressly incorporated herein constitute the entire agreement between you and Good Days relating to their subject matter, and cancel and supersede any prior versions of these Terms of Use and any other prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Sites. No modification to these Terms of Use will be binding on Good Days, unless in writing and signed by an authorized Good Days representative or posted by Good Days to the Sites.

b. Survival. Rights and obligations under these Terms of Use which by their nature should survive will remain in full effect after termination or expiration of these Terms of Use.
c. Equitable Relief. You agree that any material breach of these Terms of Use will result in irreparable harm to Good Days for which Damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Good Days will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Good Days seeks such an injunction.
d. No Waiver. No waiver by Good Days or failure to exercise promptly any right of Good Days under these Terms of Use will create or be deemed to create a further or continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.
e. Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, such provision shall be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, or eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
f. Choice of Law and Forum Selection. These Terms of Use and all matters relating hereto or to the Sites shall for all purposes be governed, interpreted, construed, and enforced solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflicts of law provisions thereof. Any disputes or controversies shall be decided by a state or federal court serving Frisco, Texas, United States. You expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by such courts and agree that you will not object to jurisdiction of or venue in such courts on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, or otherwise.
