to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in them will diminish EmployOn's
right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use
of the Site or information provided to or gathered by EmployOn with respect to such
use. These terms represent a binding agreement between EmployOn and you, and our respective
successors and assigns. A printed version of the terms and conditions set forth herein
and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject
to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated
and maintained in printed form. These terms shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Ohio and relevant federal laws, and irrevocable consent is hereby granted by both
parties to the exclusive jurisdiction and subject to the dispute resolution procedures
set forth in Section 10, above, venue for any action or dispute in the state and federal
courts located in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. Use of this Site is unauthorized in any
jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions,
including without limitation this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
these terms shall be severable and construed to the extent of their enforceability
in light of the parties' mutual intent if deemed at all unenforceable by a competent
court. Given the nature of these terms, you understand and agree that, in addition
to money damages, EmployOn will be entitled to equitable relief upon a breach of them
by you. No waiver of any obligation or right of either party shall be effective unless
in writing, executed by the party against whom it is being enforced. All rights not
expressly granted herein are hereby reserved by EmployOn.

of any of the Terms periodically for changes. When using the Site, after we post changes
to the Terms, User accepts the changed Terms.
