General; Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the internal laws of the State
of Florida, U.S.A., without regard to conflict of law principals,
govern these Terms of Use. GON is a company founded and based in West
Palm Beach, FL. This website is being maintained and operated by GON in
West Palm Beach, FL. You hereby consent and agree that the state courts
of West Palm Beach, FL and the Federal Courts of the West Palm Beach,
FL shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of any claim or
dispute arising out of or relating to the use of this Site or these

does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions,
including without limitation this paragraph. You agree that no joint
venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between
you and GON as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Site.
GON' performance of these Terms of Use is subject to existing laws and

derogation of GON' right to comply with governmental, court and law
enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site
or information provided to or gathered by GON with respect to such use.
You agree that regardless of any law or statute to the contrary, any
claim or cause or action arising out of or relating to the Site or

action arose or be barred as untimely. If any part of these Terms of
Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable
law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and
liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or
unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid,
enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the
original provision and the remainder of these Terms of Use will
continue in effect. Unless otherwise specified herein, these Terms of
Use constitute the entire agreement between the user and GON with
respect to the Site and these Terms of Use supersede all prior or
contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral
or written, between the user and GON with respect to the Site. A

electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same
extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents
and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. It is
the express wish of the parties that these Terms of Use and all related
documents be drawn up in English. The liability disclaimers,
limitations of liability, indemnity obligations, payment terms, your
representations and warranties, and the provisions of this paragraph
will survive the termination of your use of the Site and any
Communication Service and will be enforceable even after you cease
using the Site or any Communication Service.
