Any claim or dispute between you and Hoosays that arises in whole or in part from the Hoosays website or the Drawing will be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Cass County, North Dakota. These Terms and Conditions and any other legal notices published by Hoosays on the website, will constitute the entire agreement between you and Hoosays concerning the Hoosays website or the Drawing. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which will remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of these Terms and Conditions will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Hoosays’ failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
