Governing Law

These Terms of Use and all causes of action relating in any way to the Site (including but not limited to claims under contract, for torts or any other basis of liability) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts or choice of law provisions.

If the Dispute is not settled by mediation within thirty (30) calendar days of the appointment of the mediator, or such further period as the parties hereto shall agree in writing, the Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the rules of the LCIA (“LCIA Rules”), which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause.

Termination

Either party may terminate or cancel use of the Site, at any time and for any or no reason after giving notice of same (see “Notices; Our Legal Notice Address”), except that we need not give prior notice in what we believe is an emergency or if we do not have your e-mail address. Upon termination or cancellation, your right to use the Site or a Third Party Service will immediately cease and we may immediately deactivate or delete your account, access credential and all related information and files associated with them, and/or bar any further access to such information or files. You agree to keep for your files your own copies (that are lawful or allowed by these Terms of Use) and acknowledge that we are not obligated to provide copies to you after any termination or cancellation. We may do all of the foregoing without liability to you or any third party. We also reserve the right to discontinue all or any part of the Site at any time.

General

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck, and the remaining provisions shall be enforced if the allocation of liabilities in these Terms of Use is honored. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the extent or scope of such provision. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. These Terms of Use (which include our Privacy and Information Security Policy) set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site. There are no third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use.

Amendments

You agree that we may change these Terms of Use (including our Privacy and Information Security Policy) from time to time such as by adding, altering, or deleting any term, including but not limited to adding fees or a term requiring arbitration of disputes (“Amendments”), as long as we do so in our good faith discretion and comply with the following procedure. We will post a new version of the Terms (or policy) on the Site prior to the effective date of the amended version (“Effective Date”) – we will try to do that at least 15 days before a new version becomes effective, but we reserve the right to provide lesser or subsequent notice (such as in an emergency or to prevent harm or damages to us or others). We may instead give notice by another method, including by e-mail, assuming we have your address. You agree periodically to check for notice of an amended version and to review that version.

The Effective Date of each version will appear in the Terms of Use and in our Privacy and Information Security Policy: if you see a date that is later than the date you last reviewed them, review the latest version because it will apply as of its Effective Date and until the next version is posted. Until then, all amended versions will apply to all information, including personal information, then or later in our control or possession (except that we will not apply fees or increases in them to transactions already conducted). No Amendments will be effective unless we post them on our Site.

You agree that using the Site, providing personal information, or failing to terminate your Site account by the Effective Date, will constitute your agreement to the amended version. However, we make an exception to the foregoing for pending applications: if your enrollment or employment application is pending on the Effective Date and you do not want to agree to an Amendment, you may withdraw your application, including withdrawal by using the Site only for that purpose. You must make your withdrawal before the earliest of: (a) the Effective Date, if we have provided prior notice of the Amendment; (b) before you participate in any interview and before you sign any enrollment or employment agreement (if any); or (c) you use the Site (other than to provide notice of withdrawal).

You also agree that without amendment, we may change the Site in our sole discretion (other than the text of these Terms of Use or our Privacy and Information Security Policy), including without limitation all content, pricing and services.

Notice Of Availability Of Filtering Software

We do not believe that the Site contains materials that would typically be the subject of filtering software. Nevertheless, all users are hereby informed by the provider of this interactive computer service that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. A report detailing some of those protections can be found at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/ntiageneral/cipa2003/index.html (Children’s Internet Protection Act: Report on the Effectiveness of Internet Protection Measures and Safety Policies). Parents may have more leeway to place controls on personally-owned systems than on TGS systems.

Notice: No Harvesting Or Dictionary Attacks Allowed

TGS will not give, sell, or otherwise transfer addresses maintained by it to any other party for the purposes of initiating, or enabling others to initiate, electronic mail messages except as authorized by appropriate TGS personnel or policies. Except for parties authorized to have such addresses, persons may violate federal law if they: (1) initiate the transmission to TGS computers or devices of a commercial electronic mail message (as defined in the U.S. “CANSPAM Act of 2003” that does not meet the message transmission requirements of that act; or (2) assist in the origination of such messages through the provision or selection of addresses to
which the messages will be transmitted.
