You and ThisWayUp agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of ThisWayUp's choice. The failure of ThisWayUp to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

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 Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
