You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Any changes will be incorporated into the Terms and you should check the Terms periodically for updates. Changes will be effective immediately unless otherwise provided. Use of the Services by you following such modification constitutes your acceptance of the Terms as modified.
    

3. Privacy Policy and Other Terms

In the event that you are required to agree to an additional governing agreement, including without limitation a terms of service, end user license agreement, privacy policy, contest, sweepstakes or promotion terms or rules (collectively, “Other Governing Agreement”), in order to use, access and/or download such other service, the Other Governing Agreement will govern to the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and the Other Governing Agreement. TopProp may issue additional terms, rules and conditions of participation in particular contests. You agree to be subject to those additional rules if you participate in such contests.
    

4. Eligibility

 

You hereby represent and warrant that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations and warranties set forth in these Terms and to abide by and comply with these Terms. Access to and use of the Services is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are eligible.

 

By depositing money or entering a contest with a prize, you are representing and warranting that:

• you are a natural person of at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher, who is personally assigned to the email address and/or other information submitted in relation to your account;

• you are a citizen or resident of (and have an address in) the United States of America;

• you do not, by employment or affiliation with a fantasy sports league provider or service provider associated with the fantasy sports league provider, have access to pre-release non-public confidential data about fantasy contest-related information;

• you are not, by employment or affiliation with a professional sports team or other entity, or for any other reason, restricted from entering into a fantasy sports contest with a prize;

• at the time of deposit and participation in a contest, you are physically located in the United States of America in a jurisdiction in which participation in the contest is not prohibited by applicable law;

• you will abide at all times by these Terms and any Other Governing Agreement between you and TopProp regarding your use of the Services or participation in contests;

• when depositing funds or entering a paid contest, you are not physically located in of any of the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia or Washington;

• the name on your bank account, credit card, and other payment and withdrawal information provided matches the name on your account;

• you are not subject to backup withholding tax because: (a) you are exempt from backup withholding, or (b) you have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that you are subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified you that you are no longer subject to backup withholding.

• when entering any contest that awards prizes, you are not an employee of a fantasy sports league developer or service provider associated with the fantasy sports league associated with that contest.

• you do not, by virtue of affiliation with a fantasy sports league developer or service provider, have access to source code underlying a fantasy sports league associated with the entered contest.

 

If you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, then you are not permitted to use the Services and you agree that you will not use the Services. In addition to any other rights that TopProp may have in law or equity, TopProp reserves the right to suspend or terminate the account of any purported user of the Services that, in our sole discretion, does not meet the foregoing requirements.

 

TopProp may require you to provide proof that you are eligible to participate according to this Section 4 prior to receiving a prize. This includes by requesting that you fill out an affidavit of eligibility or other verification information (as discussed in Sections 5 and 6 below). If TopProp otherwise determines, in our sole discretion, that you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, in addition to any rights that TopProp may have in law or equity, TopProp reserves the right to terminate your account, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with your account or limit your ability to withdraw funds. In such a situation, TopProp may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrant(s) in the relevant contest in a manner consistent with the prize structure of the contest, to be precisely determined by TopProp in its sole discretion. TopProp also reserves the right to withhold revoked prizes to use in furtherance of its fraud prevention or anti-money laundering efforts.

TopProp employees may use the Services for the purpose of testing the user experience, but may not enter paid contests unless they are private contests with other TopProp employees. Relatives of TopProp employees with whom they share a household are not eligible to participate in paid contests unless they are private contests with other TopProp employees or household members.

 

TopProp consultants or promoters of the Services may play in contests without such limitation, but only if (i) their arrangement with TopProp does not permit them to have any access to the source code underlying the TopProp Services and (ii) they do not receive any other advantages in their play on the Services.

 

Employees or operators of other fantasy sports services that charge entry fees or offer cash prizes, and individuals who, by virtue of affiliation with another fantasy sports service, have access to the site’s pre-release non-public confidential data about game-related information may not enter any contests in which a real money prize is awarded. If such person enters a TopProp contest that awards prizes, TopProp will disqualify the entry, will not award a prize, and may report such person’s violation of this provision to the fantasy sports service for which the entrant is employed by, operates or affiliated with. Additionally, TopProp may maintain information about the entrant sufficient to assist TopProp in blocking the user from entering future TopProp contests, unless and until TopProp determines, in its sole discretion, that the entrant is no longer an employee or operator of another fantasy sports service or no longer has access to pre-release non-public confidential data about game-related information by virtue of affiliation with a fantasy sports service.

 

Athletes, coaches and other team management, team support personnel (e.g. without limitation, team physicians) and team owners may not participate in any TopProp contests in the sport or sports with which they’re associated. Team owners, referees, league employees, sports commissioners and other individuals who through an ownership interest or game-related employment can influence the gameplay are likewise ineligible.

 

TopProp may offer tools, features, and support meant to encourage healthy player behavior and deliver positive player experiences. We may also allow qualified third parties, who have concerns about a player’s ability to manage his or her play, to request a limitation on that player’s use of the Services. You can learn more about our responsible play policies and tools at https://www.toppropsports.com/responsible-gaming or by contacting us at support@toppropfantasy.com.

 

TopProp is not affiliated with or sponsored by the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League or Major League Baseball.

​

5. Conditions of Participation

 

In order to use the Services, including participation in a contest on the Services, you are required to register for an account. By registering for an account, you agree to: (i) provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself (including usernames and other identifiers associated with your account and third-party fantasy sports service accounts) as prompted (such information being the “Registration Data”); (ii) maintain the security and confidentiality of the Registration Data; (iii) promptly update the Registration Data to keep it accurate, current and complete; (iv) ensure that others do not use your account; and (v) notify TopProp immediately in the event of unauthorized use of, or any other breach of your Registration Data.

 

If you provide any Registration Data that is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or TopProp has reasonable grounds to suspect that such Registration Data is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, TopProp may deny you access to areas requiring registration or terminate your account, at its sole discretion. You agree that TopProp is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your account as provided herein. TopProp may assume that any communications TopProp receives under your password have been made by you. You are fully responsible for all uses of your account, whether by you or others. You acknowledge and agree that TopProp is authorized to act on instructions received through use of your Registration Data, and that TopProp may, but is not obligated to, deny access or block any transaction made through use of your Registration Data without prior notice if we believe in our sole discretion such information is being used by someone other than you, or for any other reason.

 

You may establish, maintain, use and control only one account on the Services. Each account on the Services may only be owned, maintained, used and controlled by only one individual. For avoidance of doubt, users may not “co-own” accounts on the Services. In the event TopProp determines that you have opened, maintained, used or controlled more than one account, in addition to any other rights that TopProp may have, TopProp reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of your accounts and terminate, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes.

 

You agree that the sole and specific purpose of registering an account on TopProp is to participate in contests on the Services. TopProp shall be entitled to suspend, limit or terminate your account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are depositing funds without the intention of using them in contests on the Services. In such circumstances, we may also report such activity to relevant authorities.

 

You may not use a username that promotes a commercial venture or a username that TopProp in its sole discretion deems offensive. Many portions of the Services require registration for access (the “Restricted Areas”). TopProp may require you to change your username or may unilaterally change your username.

 

By providing an email address, you authorize TopProp to provide you with important announcements, relevant promotions, and other related communications relating to the Services and contests, consistent with the TopProp Privacy Policy. You may opt out of these communications at any time by emailing us at support@toppropfantasy.com or writing to us at 140 Arsenal Street, #2327, Watertown, MA 02472, Attn: TopProp Support. TopProp cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

 

6. Disqualification and Cancellation

 

TopProp, in its sole discretion, may disqualify you from a contest or the Services, refuse to award consideration or prizes and require the return of any consideration or prizes, or suspend, limit, or terminate your account if you engage in conduct TopProp deems, in its sole discretion, to be improper, unfair, fraudulent or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Services or in any way detrimental to other users. Improper conduct includes, but is not limited to:

 

• falsifying personal information, including payment information, required to use the Services or claim consideration or prizes;

• violating eligible payment method terms, including the terms of any cash rewards payment card, violating any of these rules;

• accumulating consideration or prizes through unauthorized methods such as unauthorized scripts or other automated means;

• tampering with the administration of the Services or trying to in any way tamper with the computer programs associated with the Service;

• obtaining other users’ information and spamming other users;

• abusing the Services in any way;

• or otherwise violating these Terms or any other agreement between you and another user or you and TopProp regarding your use of the Services or entry into a contest.

 

You acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any consideration or prizes shall in no way prevent TopProp from informing the relevant authorities, and/or pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct.

 

If for any reason the Services are not running as originally planned (e.g., if the Services become corrupted or do not allow the proper usage and processing of contests in accordance with the rules, or if infection by a computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of TopProp corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Services), TopProp reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, extend, modify, or suspend the contest or Services, and/or select the winner(s) of a contest based on its then-current status. In addition, TopProp may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any individual implicated in or relating to the cause.

 

TopProp reserves the right to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend contests, in our sole discretion, without any restrictions, in which case notification may be posted through the Services.

 

The failure of TopProp to comply with any provision of these Terms due to an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, riot, earthquake, terrorism, act of public enemies, actions of governmental authorities outside of the control of TopProp (excepting compliance with applicable codes and regulations) or other force majeure event will not be considered a breach of these Terms.

 

7. Deposits, Withdrawals, and Taxes

 

By depositing funds, entering paid contests, or withdrawing funds, you agree to provide us with information we request, which may include a valid postal address, date of birth, government identifiers, and Social Security Number, and any other information we may require in order to run appropriate identity checks and comply with applicable rules and regulations. If necessary, you may be required to provide appropriate documentation that allows us to verify you. While your account is pending verification, you may be able to deposit funds into your account and participate in contests, but you will not be able to withdraw any funds from your account until verification is complete. If we are unable to verify you, we reserve the right to suspend your account and withhold any funds until such time as we have been able to successfully verify you.

 

We also may conduct checks for compliance with these Terms and Other Governing Agreements, including anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing a withdrawal, and we may request additional information before permitting a withdrawal. Subject to such checks, you may close your account and withdraw your deposits and/or winnings at any time and for any reason. Deposits, and player winnings after contests are finished, are held in a separate, segregated bank account by TopProp. These funds belong to you, subject to review for evidence of fraud, verification or other prohibited conduct as described above, and TopProp may not use them to cover its operating expenses or for other purposes. Your withdrawals will be made from this segregated bank account, and checks issued from that account may bear the name of TopProp or an affiliate. TopProp may limit the amount a user can deposit into his or her account in its sole discretion and/or in accordance with potentially applicable state-imposed limits.

 

Each year all winners who have won $600 or more over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to TopProp. These details will be used to allow TopProp to comply with tax regulations and may be shared with appropriate tax authorities. You, not TopProp, are responsible for filing and paying applicable state and federal taxes, duties, levies and/or fees on any winnings. TopProp does not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in this agreement or on the Services be construed as tax advice.

 

In order to use the payment functionality of our Services, you must open a “Dwolla Platform” account provided by Dwolla, Inc. and you must accept the Dwolla Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Any funds held in or transferred through the Dwolla Account are held or transferred by Dwolla’s financial institution partners as described in the Dwolla Terms of Service. You authorize us to collect and share with Dwolla your personal information including full name, date of birth, social security number, physical address, email address and financial information, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. You understand that you will access and manage your Dwolla account through our Services, and Dwolla account notifications may be sent by us, not Dwolla. We may provide customer support for your Dwolla account activity, and can be reached using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below.

 

8. Publicity

 

By entering a contest, you consent to TopProp’s and its service providers’ and business partners’ use of your name, username, state and country of residence, games played, gaming identities, and photos in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation (including marketing and promotion) of the selected contest and/or other TopProp contests and TopProp generally, unless otherwise prohibited by law. TopProp and its business partners reserve the right to make public statements about the entrants and winner(s), on-air, on the Internet, or otherwise, prior to, during, or following the contest. Entrants agree that TopProp may announce any winner’s name on-air or on any of its websites or any other location at any time in connection with the marketing and promotion of TopProp or other contests or games operated by TopProp. You agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a prize in connection with a contest constitute complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and you agree not to seek to charge a fee or impose other conditions on the fulfillment of these obligations. The rules specific to certain contests may contain additional publicity obligations or may require a written signature on a separate publicity waiver.

 

9. Contests

 

Each contest is governed by the specific contest rules, scoring rules, controls and guidelines for that contest as may be described in the Other Governing Agreements. Such rules, scoring rules, controls and guidelines form part of these Terms and you agree that you shall comply with them in respect of each individual contest which you choose to enter.

 

Game of Skill. TopProp is a game of skill. Winners are determined by the criteria stated in each contest’s rules. For each contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant League and Association information and fantasy sports rules to accumulate the most fantasy points. Fantasy points are accumulated through the performance of individual athletes in League and Association events.

 

Entry and Entry Fees. When you opt to participate in a contest with an entry fee, you will need to pay the required entry fee. Then, follow the links and instructions provided for entry.

 

In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person participating in a contest, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person in whose username the entry was submitted, or if possession of the username itself is contested and in TopProp’s opinion sufficiently uncertain, the name in which the email address on file was registered with the email service provider. For contests, TopProp reserves the right not to award a prize to an individual it believes in its sole discretion did not submit the winning entry.

 

After each contest ends, a tentative winner is announced but remains subject to final verification. No substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted. All taxes associated with the receipt or use of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of the contest is challenged by any legal authority, TopProp reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award or adjust such prizes. In all disputes arising out of the determination of the winner of TopProp contests, TopProp is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding.

 

Winners are generally notified immediately following the conclusion of each contest. Winners may be requested to return via email or regular mail an affidavit of eligibility, a publicity agreement and appropriate tax forms by a specified deadline. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in disqualification.

​

10. Access to the Services

​

You must provide, at your own expense, the equipment, software, subscriptions, Internet connections or devices and/or service plans, which may include, without limitation, content from fantasy sports league platforms and service providers, as may be required to access and/or use the Services. TopProp does not guarantee that the Services or all portion(s) thereof can be accessed on all devices, or in connection with all fantasy sports league platforms. TopProp does not guarantee that the Services are available in all geographic locations. You acknowledge that when you use the Services, your Internet provider or fantasy sports league platform or service provider may charge you fees for access, data, and/or other contents, products, or services.

​

11. User Content

 

The Services may enable you to submit, post, upload, or otherwise make available through the Services content such as profile information, communications with other users, whether privately or made publicly available, video clips, photographs, public messages, ideas, comments and other content (collectively, “User Content”) that may or may not be viewable by other users.

 

You acknowledge and agree that all User Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person from whom the User Content originated.

You further agree that you have all required rights to submit, post, upload or otherwise use or disseminate such User Content without violation of any third-party rights. Under no circumstances will TopProp be liable in any way for any User Content.

 

You acknowledge that TopProp may or may not pre-screen User Content, but that TopProp and its designees have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, permanently delete, undelete, modify and/or move any User Content available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, TopProp and its designees shall have the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable in TopProp’s sole discretion. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to User Content that you may consider to be offensive or objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use or disclosure of any User Content. You further acknowledge and agree that you bear the sole risk of reliance on any Content available on or through the Service.
 

With respect to User Content you submit or otherwise make available on or to the Service, you grant TopProp an irrevocable, fully sub-licensable, perpetual, world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such User Content (in whole or in part), and to incorporate such User Content into other works, in any format or medium now known or later developed.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Service. TopProp reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users.

23. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

 

23.1 Initial Dispute Resolution

 

Our Customer Support team is available via email at support@toppropfantasy.comto address any concerns you may have regarding the Service. Our Customer Service team can resolve most concerns quickly to our players’ satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts through this customer support process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Failure to engage in this process could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration.

 

23.2 Binding Arbitration

 

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution begins under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Streamlined Arbitration and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions.

 

Except as set forth in Section 23.5, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

 

The Streamlined Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, you will be required to pay $250 to initiate the arbitration. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the arbitrator may require TopProp to pay the additional cost. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, TopProp will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. For claims above $75,000, fees and costs will be determined in accordance with applicable JAMS rules. The arbitration rules permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.

 

Any arbitration demand or counterclaim asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party’s identity, the claims being asserted, and the factual allegations on which they are based. The arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with JAMS Rule 24 for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11).

 

The parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS’s Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 23 while such challenge remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

 

23.3 Location

​

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you.

 

23.4 Class Action Waiver

 

The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND TOPPROP AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.

 

23.5 Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims

 

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also elect to have disputes or claims resolved in a small claims court that are within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this agreement.

 

23.6 ​30-Day Right to Opt Out

 

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: TopProp Corporation, 140 Arsenal Street, #2327, Watertown, MA 02472. The notice must be sent within 30 days of the later of (i) your first use of the Services, or (ii) the Last Revised date of these Terms where TopProp made a material change to this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section; otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, TopProp also will not be bound by them.

 

​23.7 Changes to this Section

 

TopProp will provide 30 days’ notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 30th day. If you continue to use the site after the 30th day, you agree that any unfiled claims of which TopProp does not have actual notice are subject to the revised clause.

 

For any dispute not subject to arbitration you and TopProp agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in New York, New York. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

 

The Terms and the relationship between you and TopProp shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law provisions.
