You may be accessing our Sites from a computer, mobile device, App or by any other means now known or hereafter devised, and these Terms of Service govern your use of our Sites and your conduct, regardless of the means of access. You may be using our interactive services and digital services (“Interactive and Digital Services”), alerts, messages, calendars, profiles, blogs, lists, groups, media, cloud, favorites, wishlist, community forums, ratings, reviews, comments, posts, Q&A, shopping, sales and other services whether currently existing or hereafter devised, and these Terms of Service govern your use of all such Interactive and Digital Services.

You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., that access the Sites in a manner that sends more request messages to the Dear Cleo servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dear Cleo grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the Sites for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the Sites’ materials, but not caches or archives of such materials.

SECTION 29 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Sites or in respect to Interactive and Digital Services constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service). Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.
SECTION 30 – GENERAL
The Sites and Interactive and Digital Services are created and controlled by Dear Cleo in the State of Washington, U.S.A. As such, the internal substantive laws of the State of Washington will govern these Terms of Service, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. Any claim or dispute arising under or related to the Sites, the Interactive and Digital Services and/or the subject matter of these Terms of Service (including, without limitation, any controversy or claim relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service and/or the enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be resolved by binding arbitration by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be a former or retired judge. The award or decision rendered by the arbitrator (including liability for the legal costs and expenses of the party that substantially prevails in the dispute as set forth below) shall be final, binding, and conclusive and any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon such record. The award of the arbitrator shall include the payment of all costs and expenses including, without limitation, attorney fees, arbitration fees and all other legal fees, costs and expenses relating to the dispute, incurred by the party that the arbitrator determines substantially prevailed in the dispute, subject to the arbitrator’s sole determination. All proceedings connected with the arbitration, including hearings, shall be held in the City of Washington. This section does not preclude a party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms of Service and all related documents be drawn up in English.
These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by Dear Cleo on the Sites or elsewhere, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Dear Cleo concerning the Sites. If any provision of these Terms of Service is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service shall be unimpaired and the unenforceable term or provision shall be replaced by such enforceable term or provision as comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable term or provision. No waiver of any term of this these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Dear Cleo’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Dear Cleo reserves the right to amend these Terms of Service at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review these Terms of Service for any changes. Your use of the Sites following any amendment of these Terms of Service will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, YOU AND DEAR CLEO AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITES AND THE INTERACTIVE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
