These Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to them, or to the use of the Website, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Ocxly Publishing House maintains its principal place of business, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded from these Terms.

11.2 Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties.

Section 12

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the parties, or if such modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms.

The failure of Ocxly Publishing House to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if made in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Ocxly Publishing House.
