You further agree that the compilation, storage, and potential distribution of these addresses by Non-Human Visitors substantially diminish the value of these addresses.

The Terms and the relationship between each user and TWA shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to its conflict of law provisions and each party shall submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Washington, Maryland USA.
