For educational programs, the results (such as, but not limited to, scores, rankings, awards) stand as they are, regardless any disputes. Many people have involved in Beestar web content development. It is possible that you have seen similar or identical items elsewhere. Beestar does not guarantee that all its contents are original and new to you. You use Beestar Sites out of your own willingness in spite of such conditions. Beestar is not responsible for any direct or indirect consequences that arise from such disputes.

  12. General. This agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of law of provision.

Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section. Beestar's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
