keywords, and ads, including the URL(s),

laws principles. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement shall be adjudicated in
Maricopa
County, Arizona. This constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any
modifications to this Agreement must be made in a writing executed
by both parties. The waiver of any breach or default of this
Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or
default. If any provision herein is held unenforceable, then such
provision will be modified to reflect the parties' intention, and
the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect. Advertiser may not resell, assign, or transfer any of
its rights hereunder. Any such attempt may result in termination of
this Agreement, without liability to Webwaders. The relationship(s)
between Webwaders and the "Partners" is not one of a legal
partnership relationship, but is one of independent contractors.
This Agreement shall be construed as if both parties jointly wrote
it.
