Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution

Unless TGF otherwise specifies publicly, or directly to you, TGF controls and operates the Site from its headquarters in Switzerland.

Integration, Severability, and Reservation of Rights

If any provision of the Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from the Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which must be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties, and to remain in full force and effect.

The Terms comprise the entire agreement between you and TGF with respect to the Site. You may also be subject to additional terms and conditions contained in any other agreements between you and TGF including (but not limited to) the TGF Gift and System Use Agreement.
