This Site gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from U.S. state to U.S. state and country to country. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain kinds of limitations or exclusions of liability, so the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms of Use may not apply to you. Other jurisdictions allow limitations and exclusions subject to certain conditions. In such a case the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms of Use shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such applicable jurisdictions. Your statutory rights as a consumer, if any, are not affected by these provisions, and we do not seek to exclude or limit liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Waiver
Our failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms of Use or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision orsuch right. All waivers must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by BH of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms of Use.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction, arbitrator, or other appropriate adjudicatory individual or body to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms of Use will be governed under the laws of the State of Iowa without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
