GENERAL INFORMATION
Entire Agreement. The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and eQuest and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and eQuest with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or purchase certain other eQuest services, affiliate services or third-party content.

You and eQuest agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Contra Costa, California.
Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of eQuest to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
No Right of Survivorship and Non-Transferability. You agree that your eQuest account is non-transferable and any rights to your eQuest ID or contents within your account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate, your account may be terminated and all contents therein permanently deleted.
