You are encouraged to check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you. These terms govern all purchases or donations made through the Sites.
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Sites, and any service or material we provide on the Sites, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Sites are unavailable to you at any time.

Governing law; Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, such provision is to that extent to be deemed omitted, and the balance of the Terms shall remain enforceable.
