21. GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you
and 100Free and govern your use of the Service, superceding
any prior agreements between you and 100Free (including,

also may be subject to additional terms and conditions
that may apply when you use affiliate or other 100Free

be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland without
regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and 100Free
agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts located in Maryland. The failure of 100Free

intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other
provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
