About Causeway's Terms of Service Agreement

VTM reserves the right to modify these terms to reflect changes to the law, changes to our services, or from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Website.

Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms of Service means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

These terms control the relationship between VTM and your use of Causeway, and do not create any third party beneficiary rights. If you do not comply with these terms, and we do not take immediate action, this does not mean we are giving up rights we have (such as taking future action). If a particular item is found not to be enforceable, it will not affect other terms.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Service and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Oregon, U.S.A. without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Oregon, U.S.A., or any other jurisdiction).

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Oregon, U.S.A. in each case located in the City of Portland and County of Multnomah. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the VTM of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Services shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the VTM to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
