agreement which will govern the Online Services it provides. You agree
to be responsible for all telephone charges associated with your
Internet and online service usage.
10. TERMINATION
Firelace may terminate or suspend any and all Services and your
Merchant's Mirror™ account immediately, without prior notice or

of liability.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the Terms
of Service and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Firelace in any respect
whatsoever. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for
herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Firelace shall not be
liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from
any cause beyond Firelace's reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical,
electronic or communications failure or degradation (including "line-noise" interference).
If any provision of the TOS is found to be unenforceable or invalid,
that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent
necessary so that the Terms of Service shall otherwise remain in full
force and effect and enforceable. The Terms of Service is not
assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with
Firelace's prior written consent. Firelace may transfer, assign or
delegate the Terms of Service and its rights and obligations without
consent. The TOS shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the state of North Carolina, as if made within North
Carolina between two residents thereof, and the parties submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Guilford County and
the United States District Court for the Middle District of
North Carolina. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (but without
limiting Firelace's right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief
in any court of competent jurisdiction), any disputes arising with
respect to this Agreement shall be referred to an arbitrator
affiliated with JAMS, The Resolution Experts. The arbitrator shall be
selected by joint agreement of the parties. In the event the parties
cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the
initiating party providing the other party with written notice that it
plans to seek arbitration, the parties shall each select an arbitrator
affiliated with JAMS, which arbitrators shall jointly select a third
such arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The written decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The arbitration
proceeding shall be carried on and heard in Greensboro, North Carolina
using the English language and pursuant to the rules of JAMS. In any
action or proceeding to enforce rights under the TOS, the prevailing
party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees. Both
parties agree that the TOS is the complete and exclusive statement of
the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all
previous written and oral agreements, communications and other
understandings relating to the subject matter of the TOS, and that all
modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as
otherwise provided herein.
