Merchandise Credit is not transferable and may not be combined with Merchandise Credit belonging to others. At no time may you purchase, sell or barter any Merchandise Credit.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for further information. Our contact for copyright issues relating to this Site (including the notices and counter-notices) is: Copyright Agent, Positive Systems, Inc., 903 E Trinity Ave #101, Durham, North Carolina, 27704 United States.

Any action brought to enforce this Agreement or matters related to the Site will be brought in either the state or federal courts Durham, North Carolina; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms of Use to the contrary, we shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against you or anyone acting by, through or under you, in order to enforce our rights hereunder through reformation of contract, specific performance, injunction or similar equitable relief.
