14. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Website are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. [Confirm this matches the state of organization and principal place of business.] Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lee County, Alabama. You waive any objection to venue in those courts and consent to their personal jurisdiction. [Adjust county if appropriate.]
15. Dispute Resolution
Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at the address in Section 17 and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of that notice, either party may pursue formal proceedings as provided in Section 14. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any claim will be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. [Consider with counsel whether to add a binding arbitration clause; the tradeoffs depend on your risk profile.] Any cause of action arising out of or related to the Website must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by applicable law.

Notices to us must be sent to the address in Section 17.
17. General Provisions
Waiver. No waiver by Bowden Companies of any term or condition in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of that term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any failure to assert a right or provision under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Bowden Companies LLC regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental action, utility or telecommunications failures, or internet service disruptions.
