Addendum: There are images on this website, many of which are here to provide some visual variety to what would otherwise be a wall of text. To my knowledge, this is permissible under Fair Use laws. In addition, these images are added at my discretion (a fancy word meaning “cuz I want to”); they are not to be considered an endorsement by this website of another or vice versa. Sort of like “re-tweets are not an endorsement.”

9. Jurisdiction

You expressly understand and agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the country, state, province or territory determined solely by Everyday Freethought to resolve any legal matter arising from this agreement or related to your use of Everyday Freethought. If the court of law having jurisdiction, rules that any provision of the agreement is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms and the remaining Terms will continue to be valid.

Everyday Freethought reserves the right to modify these Terms from time to time at our sole discretion and without any notice. Changes to our Terms become effective on the date they are posted and your continued use of Everyday Freethought after any changes to Terms will signify your agreement to be bound by them.
