Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The JBA Site is operated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States of America.

The single or partial exercise of a right, power, or remedy shall not prevent its subsequent exercise or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions or part thereof is or becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of that provision will not affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remainder of the provision or the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions, as the case may be, or the legality, validity, or enforceability of that provision or part thereof in any other jurisdiction.
