In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms of Service to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives. 

Open Source. The Service may contain or be distributed with open source software or other third-party software which may be covered by a different license.

Headings; Interpretation. The section and paragraph headings in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation. Any use of "including" "for example" or "such as" in these Terms of Service shall be read as being followed by "without limitation" where appropriate. 

Any claim related to these Terms of Service, the Site(s) or the Service must be brought within one year. The one-year period begins on the date when the claim first could be filed. If it is not filed, then that claim is permanently barred. This applies to you and your successors.
