These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and any dispute arising from or relating to the Rebel Ranch Publishing website, books, publications, reviews, forms, communications, services, or Rebel Ranch Corporation's operation of Rebel Ranch Publishing, are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and applicable United States federal law, without applying any rule that would require the law of another state or jurisdiction to apply, including conflict-of-law principles.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any lawsuit or legal proceeding arising from or relating to this website, these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, Rebel Ranch Publishing books, publications, reviews, services, or Rebel Ranch Corporation's operation of Rebel Ranch Publishing shall be brought exclusively in the appropriate state court located in Cañon City, Colorado, or, when federal subject-matter jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, regardless of where the user, visitor, reviewer, customer, or other claimant resides or is located. When permitted by that court's rules and case-assignment procedures, any federal proceeding shall be heard at the United States Courthouse in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts, regardless of where that party resides or is located, and waives any objection based on improper venue or an inconvenient forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.
