XXIII. Governing Law; Limitations; Venue
Excluding any conflict of laws principle, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall govern these Terms.

XXIV. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, the court shall reform such provision so as to render it enforceable (or, if it is not possible to reform such provision so as to make it enforceable, then delete such provision); and, as so reformed or modified, fully enforce the remainder of the Terms.
XXV. Data Protection
A. Krimsnatch recognizes that any data provided by User is extremely important and we shall, therefore, be particularly sensitive in handling such data.
B. Users are advised that there are inherent security risks in transmitting data, such as emails or other personal information, via the Internet, because it is impossible to completely safeguard against unauthorized access by third-parties. Nevertheless, Krimsnatch shall do what is reasonable to safeguard User data, subject to this cautionary limitation.
C. In particular, personal information will be transmitted via the Internet only if it does not infringe upon third-party rights, unless the respective party has given prior consent in view of such security risks.
D. Accordingly, neither Krimsnatch, nor its Affiliates, shall be held liable for any damages incurred as a consequence of such security risks or for any related acts of omission on their part. PLEASE SEE OUR PRIVACY POLICY, STATED SEPARATELY, ON THE KRIMSNATCH WEB SITE.
