You agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute with WL, or in any way relating to your membership or use of WL, resides in the courts of the State of Delaware and you further agree and expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in the courts of the State of Delaware in connection with any dispute including any claim involving WL or its affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors, telecommunication providers and content providers.

The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by the other party of any provision of the Terms of Use or to exercise any right under the Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance, rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect.
