GENERAL

The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between You and Four Elements and govern Your use of the Website.

If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.

You and Four Elements agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of King, Washington to resolve any legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Four Elements are still allowed to apply for injunctive remedies in any jurisdiction.
