The Credit will expire one (1) year from date of purchase of the Purchased Product if the Credit has not been redeemed.  In the event that the Credit is redeemed, after the initial subscription period, the product will automatically renew at the then-current renewal price until cancelled. If you wish to cancel the automatic renewal of the product, you may do so by contacting customer service.  In the event your Purchased Product includes a free domain name or any other free Service, if you cancel the Purchased Product, the price for the domain name or Service will be deducted from the refund amount.

  1. MONITORING OF CONTENT; ACCOUNT TERMINATION POLICY

RapidCloud generally does not pre-screen User Content (whether posted to a website hosted by RapidCloud or posted to any Service).  However, RapidCloud reserves the right (but undertakes no duty) to do so and decide whether any item of User Content is appropriate and/or complies with this Agreement. RapidCloud may remove any item of User Content (whether posted to a website hosted by RapidCloud or posted to any RapidCloud Service) and/or terminate a User’s access to any RapidCloud Service found at any Service for posting or publishing any material in violation of this Agreement, or for otherwise violating this Agreement (as determined by RapidCloud in its sole and absolute discretion), at any time and without prior notice. RapidCloud may also terminate a User’s access to any RapidCloud Service if RapidCloud has reason to believe the User is a repeat offender.  If RapidCloud terminates your access to any RapidCloud Service, RapidCloud may, in its sole and absolute discretion, remove and destroy any data and files stored by you on its servers.

  1. DISCONTINUED SERVICES; END OF LIFE POLICY

RapidCloud reserves the right to cease offering or providing any of the Services at any time, for any or no reason, and without prior notice. Although RapidCloud makes great effort to maximize the lifespan of all its Services, there are times when a Service we offer will be discontinued or reach its End-of-Life (“EOL”). If that is the case, that product or service will no longer be supported by RapidCloud, in any way, effective on the EOL date.

Notice and Migration. In the event that any Service we offer has reached or will reach EOL, we will attempt to notify you thirty or more days in advance of the EOL date. It is your responsibility to take all necessary steps to replace the Service by migrating to a new Service before the EOL date, or by entirely ceasing reliance on said Service before the EOL date. In either case, RapidCloud will either offer a comparable Service for you to migrate to for the remainder of the term of your purchase, a prorated in-store credit, or a prorated refund, to be determined by RapidCloud in its sole and absolute discretion. RapidCloud may, with or without notice to you, migrate you to the most up-to-date version of the Service, if available. You agree to take full responsibility for any and all loss or damage arising from any such migration.

No Liability. RapidCloud will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any of the Services we may offer or facilitate access to.

  1. BETA SERVICES

From time to time, RapidCloud may offer new Services (limited preview services or new features to existing Services) in a pre-release version. New Services, new features to existing Services or limited preview services shall be known, individually and collectively, as “Beta Services”. If you elect to use any Beta Services, then your use of the Beta Services is subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) You acknowledge and agree that the Beta Services are pre-release versions and may not work properly; (ii) You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Beta Services may expose you to unusual risks of operational failures; (iii) The Beta Services are provided as-is, so we do not recommend using them in production or mission critical environments; (iv) RapidCloud reserves the right to modify, change, or discontinue any aspect of the Beta Services at any time; (v) Commercially released versions of the Beta Services may change substantially, and programs that use or run with the Beta Services may not work with the commercially released versions or subsequent releases; (vi) RapidCloud may limit availability of customer service support time dedicated to support of the Beta Services; (vii) You acknowledge and agree to provide prompt feedback regarding your experience with the Beta Services in a form reasonably requested by us, including information necessary to enable us to duplicate errors or problems you experience. You acknowledge and agree that we may use your feedback for any purpose, including product development purposes. At our request you will provide us with comments that we may use publicly for press materials and marketing collateral. Any intellectual property inherent in your feedback or arising from your use of the Beta Services shall be owned exclusively by RapidCloud; (viii) You acknowledge and agree that all information regarding your use of the Beta Services, including your experience with and opinions regarding the Beta Services, is confidential, and may not be disclosed to a third party or used for any purpose other than providing feedback to RapidCloud; (ix) The Beta Services are provided “as is”, “as available”, and “with all faults”.   To the fullest extent permitted by law, RapidCloud disclaims any and all warranties, statutory, express or implied, with respect to the Beta Services including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

  1. FEES AND PAYMENTS

You agree that your Payment Method may be charged by one of our authorized payment partners and channels.

(A) GENERAL TERMS, INCLUDING AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS

Payment Due at Time of Order; Non-Refundable. You agree to pay all amounts due for Services at the time you order them.  All amounts are non-refundable unless otherwise noted in the Refund Policy.

Price Changes. RapidCloud reserves the right to change its prices and fees at any time, and such changes shall be posted online and effective immediately without need for further notice to you. If you have purchased or obtained Services for a period of months or years, changes in prices and fees shall be effective when the Services in question come up for renewal as further described below.

Payment Types. You may pay for Services by using any of the following “Payment Methods”: (i) valid credit card, (ii) PayPal or (iii) via alternative international payment options, if applicable (and as defined below), each a “Payment Method”. The “Express Checkout” feature automatically places an order for the applicable Service and charges the primary Payment Method on file for your Account. Confirmation of that order will be sent to the email address on file for your Account. Your Payment Method on file must be kept valid if you have any active Services in your Account. In addition, you agree that the location for the processing of your payments may change for any reason, including the type of Payment Method chosen, the currency selected, or changes or updates made to your Payment Method.

Refunds are issued at the sole discretion of RapidCloud. You agree that where refunds are issued to your Payment Method, RapidCloud’s issuance of a refund receipt is only confirmation that RapidCloud has submitted your refund to the Payment Method charged at the time of the original sale, and that RapidCloud has no control over when the refund will be applied towards your Payment Method’s available balance. You further acknowledge and agree that the payment provider and/or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method establish and regulate the time frames for posting your refund, and that such refund posting time frames may range from fifteen (15) business days to a full billing cycle, or longer.

In the event a refund is issued to your Payment Method and the payment provider, payment processor or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method imposes any limitations on refunds, including but not limited to, limitations as to the timing of the refund or the number of refunds allowed, then RapidCloud, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to issue the refund either (i) in the form of a Service credit; or (ii) Paypal credit. RapidCloud also has the right to offer Service credit for customers seeking refunds, even if there are no limitations on refunds imposed by the Payment Method.

Monthly Billing Date. If you are being billed on a monthly basis, your monthly billing date will be based on first date of the month you purchased the Services.

Auto-Renewal Terms. RapidCloud does not retain hard copies or electronic versions of mandate, standing order or standing instruction forms and/or any signed consents relating to your usage of our automatic renewal services, and we are therefore unable to provide any such document upon request. You may view or change your automatic renewal settings at any time by contacting customer support.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE AN INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, ALL SERVICES ARE OFFERED ON AUTOMATIC RENEWAL.  EXCEPT FOR REASONS DESCRIBED BELOW IN THIS SECTION, AUTOMATIC RENEWAL AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS THE APPLICABLE SERVICE UPON EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT TERM FOR A RENEWAL PERIOD EQUAL IN TIME TO THE MOST RECENT SERVICE PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR LAST SERVICE PERIOD IS FOR ONE YEAR, YOUR RENEWAL PERIOD WILL TYPICALLY BE FOR ONE YEAR.  HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT RENEWAL WITH THE PAYMENT METHOD ON FILE FAILS, RAPIDCLOUD MAY ATTEMPT TO RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE FOR A PERIOD LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY FOR THE TRANSACTION TO SUCCEED.

UNLESS YOU PROVIDE THREE (3) MONTHS ADVANCE NOTICE (BEFORE RENEWAL MONTH) IN WRITING TO CUSTOMER SUPPORT CLEARLY STATING NOT TO AUTO RENEW SPECIFIC SERVICES, RAPIDCLOUD WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE WHEN IT COMES UP FOR RENEWAL AND WILL TAKE PAYMENT FROM ANY PAYMENT METHOD YOU HAVE ON FILE WITH RAPIDCLOUD AT RAPIDCLOUD’S THEN CURRENT RATES, WHICH YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RATES FOR THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERIOD.  IN ORDER TO CHECK THE RENEWAL SETTINGS APPLICABLE TO YOU AND YOUR SERVICES, CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE.  IF YOU DO NOT WISH FOR ANY SERVICE TO AUTOMATICALLY RENEW, YOUR SERVICES WILL TERMINATE UPON EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT TERM, UNLESS YOU MANUALLY RENEW YOUR SERVICES PRIOR TO THAT DATE (IN WHICH CASE THE SERVICES WILL AGAIN BE SET TO AUTOMATIC RENEWAL).  IN OTHER WORDS, SHOULD YOU ELECT TO CANCEL YOUR PRODUCT AND FAIL TO MANUALLY RENEW YOUR SERVICES BEFORE THEY EXPIRE, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, AND RAPIDCLOUD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE SAME.

IN ADDITION, RAPIDCLOUD MAY PARTICIPATE IN “RECURRING BILLING PROGRAMS” OR “ACCOUNT UPDATER SERVICES” SUPPORTED BY YOUR CREDIT CARD OR PAYMENT METHOD.  IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CHARGE YOUR EXISTING PAYMENT METHOD, YOUR CREDIT CARD PROVIDER (OR YOUR BANK) MAY NOTIFY US OF UPDATES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND/OR EXPIRATION DATE, OR THEY MAY AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOUR NEW CREDIT CARD ON OUR BEHALF WITHOUT NOTIFICATION TO US.  IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECURRING BILLING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE NOTIFIED OF AN UPDATE TO YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND/OR EXPIRATION DATE, RAPIDCLOUD WILL AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE YOUR PAYMENT PROFILE ON YOUR BEHALF. RAPIDCLOUD MAKES NO GUARANTEES THAT WE WILL REQUEST OR RECEIVE UPDATED CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO MODIFY AND MAINTAIN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO (I) CANCELLING PRODUCTS AND (II) ENSURING YOUR ASSOCIATED PAYMENT METHOD(S) ARE CURRENT AND VALID.  FURTHER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR FAILURE TO DO SO, MAY RESULT IN THE INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, AND RAPIDCLOUD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE SAME.

If for any reason RapidCloud is unable to charge your Payment Method for the full amount owed, or if RapidCloud receives notification of a chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, or is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to your Payment Method, you agree that RapidCloud may pursue all available lawful remedies in order to obtain payment, including but not limited to, immediate cancellation, without notice to you, of any domain names or Services registered or renewed on your behalf.  RapidCloud also reserves the right to charge you “administrative” fees” for (i) tasks RapidCloud may perform outside the normal scope of its Services, (ii) additional time and/or costs RapidCloud may incur in providing its Services, and/or (iii) your noncompliance with this Agreement (as determined by RapidCloud in its sole and absolute discretion). Typical administrative or processing fee scenarios include, but are not limited to (i) customer service issues that require additional personal time or attention; (ii) UDRP actions(s) in connection with your domain name(s) and/or disputes that require accounting or legal services, whether performed by RapidCloud staff or by outside firms retained by RapidCloud; (iii) recouping any and all costs and fees, including the cost of Services, incurred by RapidCloud as the results of chargebacks or other payment disputes brought by you, your bank or Payment Method processor. These administrative fees or processing fees will be billed to the Payment Method you have on file with RapidCloud.

RapidCloud may offer product-level pricing in various currencies. The transaction will be processed in the selected currency and the pricing displayed during the checkout process will be the actual amount submitted for payment.  For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charge, which may be added to the final amount that appears on your bank statement or post as a separate amount. Please check with the issuer of your Payment Method for details. In addition, regardless of the selected currency, you acknowledge and agree that you may be charged Value Added Tax (“VAT”), Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), or other localized fees and/or taxes, based on your bank and/or the country indicated in your billing address section.

(B) REFUND POLICY

Products and Services where refund is approved by RapidCloud will be offered as a service credit only and at complete discretion of RapidCloud.

(E) INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT OPTIONS

RapidCloud offers a variety of alternative international payment options through a variety of International Payment Providers (“IPP”) or International Sales Agents (“ISA”). In the event you select an IPP, you represent that you have already agreed to any and all of the IPP’s applicable customer service agreements in advance of completing your transaction at RapidCloud.  You also agree to allow the IPP to debit the full amount of your purchase from the selected account or payment method, collectively “Funding Sources”. In addition, you agree to allow the selected IPP to debit, if applicable, an “Exchange Rate Conversion Fee”, as well as any other fees or charges applicable to your agreement with the IPP (collectively, the “IPP Fees”), from your Funding Sources. You understand and agree that IPP Fees are subject to change at any time by the IPP without notice to you by RapidCloud.

It is your responsibility to keep your Funding Sources current and funded. You agree that (i) the IPP or RapidCloud reserve the right to decline a transaction for any reason and (ii) neither the IPP nor RapidCloud shall be liable to you or any third party regarding the same. You acknowledge that RapidCloud will not attempt to fulfill the Services purchased by you until RapidCloud receives confirmation of payment from the IPP through its associated payment processor. You acknowledge there may be a gap of several hours or days between the time you place an order and the time the IPP confirms payment through its associated payment processor. If RapidCloud does not receive confirmation of payment from the IPP through its associated payment processor within thirty (30) days from when the order is placed, your order may be cancelled, at which time you will need to commence the purchase process again. In the event that you would like to cancel payment for a pending transaction, you may cancel the order through your RapidCloud account. Payments received on previously cancelled orders will be automatically refunded to the original Payment Method when possible.

If, at the time RapidCloud receives confirmation of payment from the IPP (through its associated payment processor), either (i) the Services (including domain names) are no longer available for purchase; or (ii) a pending order has been cancelled in our systems; or (iii) the confirmation of payment does not match the dollar amount of the pending order, and as a result your purchase is either over-funded or under-funded, RapidCloud may automatically issue a partial refund (in the case of over-funding) or a full refund (in the case of under-funding) to your Funding Source. If the IPP (or its associated payment processor) imposes refund limitations of any kind, RapidCloud reserves the right to issue refunds to an in-store credit balance or as a bank transfer, when the payment processor cannot refund back to the Payment Method.  If you receive a full refund, you will need to begin the purchase process again. You agree that the IPP reserves the right not to refund IPP Fees associated with a refunded transaction. Accordingly, any refunds issued by RapidCloud will be net of the IPP Fees unless otherwise specified.

RapidCloud offers ISA options to make a payment for customers located in countries where IPPs do not operate or in cases where you are not able to complete the payment using standard means of payment. These are individuals or companies who can complete the transaction on your behalf and collect from you in cash or any other means the payment amount which they have made to RapidCloud. If you choose to use ISA as a payment method, you are authorizing RapidCloud to receive and credit your account the amount received from the specific ISA. By agreeing to these terms, you have mandated RapidCloud to collect all of the applicable charges arising under this Agreement. The authorization shall also apply to any purchases by you from RapidCloud.  We will notify you of the payment once it is credited to our account. You also agree to indemnify RapidCloud against any losses that it may incur if the ISA withholds payment from RapidCloud for any reason.

Various payment methods and IPP or ISA may apply a service fee which will be debited from your account.

(F) IN-STORE CREDIT BALANCES

In the event that your Account contains an in-store credit balance: (1) you may apply any available credit balance to any future purchase in your Account; and (2) you authorize RapidCloud to apply any available credit balance from any of your Accounts to any outstanding administrative fees, chargebacks, or other fees related to your Account. In the event that your default Payment Method fails for an automated billing in connection with the processing of any Service renewals, RapidCloud may use any available in-store credit balance if there are enough funds to cover the entire transaction. Regardless of the amount of in-store credit available in your account, RapidCloud is not responsible for the loss of products resulting from an inability to collect funds from your default Payment Methods or the in-store credit. In-store credits will be applied based on the currency selected in the shopping cart at the time of purchase (or renewal). If you have more than one in-store credit, then the credits will be processed according to the age of the credit, with the oldest in-store credit being applied first. If additional funds are required to complete the purchase or renewal, credits held in a non-selected currency will be converted using RapidCloud’s daily exchange rate based on the age of the credit (oldest to newest) until (i) enough funds are allocated to complete the transaction, or (ii) there is no available balance left in your account. You understand and agree that at the time of conversion, RapidCloud may also impose an additional administrative fee.

You can verify your available in-store credit balance at any time through customer support. You acknowledge that in-store credit balances are non-transferrable, may only be used in the Account in which they were acquired and may expire.

15.NO SPAM; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

No Spam.  We do not tolerate the transmission of spam. We may monitor all traffic to and from our web servers for indications of spamming and maintain a spam abuse complaint center to register allegations of spam abuse. Customers suspected to be using our products and services for the purpose of sending spam may be fully investigated. If we determine there is a problem with spam, we will take the appropriate action to resolve the situation.

We define spam as the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or Unsolicited Facsimiles (Fax), which is email or facsimile sent to recipients as an advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent to receive these communications. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:

  1. Email Messages
  1.       Newsgroup postings

iii.      Windows system messages

  1. Pop-up messages (aka “adware” or “spyware” messages)
  1. Instant messages (using AOL, MSN, Yahoo or other instant messenger programs)
  1. Online chat room advertisements

vii.      Guestbook or Website Forum postings

viii.      Facsimile Solicitations

We will not allow our servers and services to be used for the purposes described above. In order to use our products and services, you must not only abide by all applicable laws and regulations, which include the Can-Spam Act of 2003 and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but you must also abide by this no spam policy. Commercial advertising and/or bulk emails or faxes may only be sent to recipients who have “opted-in” to receive messages. They must include a legitimate return address and reply-to address, the sender’s physical address, and an opt-out method in the footer of the email or fax. Upon request by us, conclusive proof of opt-in may be required for an email address or fax number.

If we determine the account, products, or services in question are being used in association with spam, we may re-direct, suspend, or cancel any account, web site hosting, domain registration, email boxes, or other applicable products or services. In such event, at our election, we may require you to respond by email to us stating that you will cease to send spam and/or have spam sent on your behalf and to require a non-refundable reactivation fee to be paid before the site, email boxes, and/or services are reactivated.

We encourage all customers and recipients of email generated from our products and services to report suspected spam. Suspected abuse can be reported by email or through our Spam Abuse Complaint Center on the Web.  Web: report abuse.

Liquidated Damages.  You agree that we may immediately terminate any Account which we believe, in our sole and absolute discretion, is transmitting or is otherwise connected with any spam or other unsolicited bulk email. In addition, if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated then you agree to pay us liquidated damages in the amount of $1.00 for each piece of spam or unsolicited bulk email transmitted from or otherwise connected with your Account.

(A) Disputes. The terms of this Section shall apply to all Disputes between you and RapidCloud, except for disputes governed by the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy referenced above and available here.  For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, or action between you and RapidCloud arising under or relating to any RapidCloud Services or Products, RapidCloud’s websites, these Terms, or any other transaction involving you and RapidCloud, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND RAPIDCLOUD AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR RAPIDCLOUD FOR (i) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION, (ii) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (iii) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, AND (iv) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION. Moreover, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, you agree that a court, not the arbitrator, may decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.

(B) Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or RapidCloud must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to RapidCloud must be addressed to: support@rapidcloudservices.com and have the subject line as “Attention: Dispute Notice”. The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by email to the most recent email address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you.  If RapidCloud and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within ninety (90) days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or RapidCloud may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each of us agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute.

(C) WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND RAPIDCLOUD AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS.  NEITHER YOU NOR RAPIDCLOUD WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OF PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.  NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS.

(D) Claims or Disputes Must be Filed Within One Year.  To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute to which this Section applies must be filed within one year in small claims or in arbitration. The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of Dispute first could be filed.  If not filed within one year, the claim or dispute will be permanently barred.

(M) Severability. If any provision in this Section is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section shall be null and void. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of these Terms.

(N) Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies. RapidCloud and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Section (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona, or the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.
