If you are located outside the United States, or your complaint relates to intellectual property rights other than a U.S. copyright claim, you may send a notice to AshurstPerkinsCoieLegalNotices@ashurstperkins.com with sufficient information to allow us to identify the protected work and the allegedly infringing material, your contact details and the basis for your complaint.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

18.1  If you reside in the United States, this Section 18.1 applies to you. These Terms and any dispute, controversy, proceeding, or claim of whatever nature arising out of or in any way relating to these Terms will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The state or federal courts of the State of Washington and the United States, respectively, sitting in King County, Washington, will have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute, controversy, proceeding, or claim of whatever nature arising out of or in any way relating to these Terms, and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
