Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Idaho, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent.
