10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; REVISIONS TO AGREEMENT.
BERT may, from time to time, modify these Terms. Such modifications shall be effective as soon as the modified version of these Terms is posted on the BERT website (currently at www.BERTbrain.com), or made available to you by electronic mail or in any other written form. You can determine when these Terms were last revised by referring to the “Last Updated” legend at the top of then-current version of these Terms. Your use of an Application following the issuance of new or revised set of these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised version of these Terms.

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS
These Terms and the legal relations between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the federal laws of the United States of America, without reference to conflict-of-laws provisions or principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. The parties hereby agree that any dispute which cannot be resolved amicably by the parties shall be determined by one arbitrator in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Hearings will be conducted by audio conference or video conference. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.

These Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other communications or representations or agreements (whether oral, written or otherwise) relating thereto. The failure of either party at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms in no manner shall affect such party’s right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of any breach of these Terms, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any other such breach, or a waiver of any other breach of these Terms. If any provision of these Terms shall to any extent be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby and each such provision of these Terms shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In such case, these Terms shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to correct any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, while preserving to the maximum extent the rights and commercial expectations of the parties hereto, as expressed herein. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Application or these Terms must be filed by either party within two (2) years after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
