You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DOR, its employees, and agents from any and all liabilities, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from breach of this Agreement, Your use or access of the Site or any Internet site linked to or from the Site, or as a result of the transmission of any Content on the Site.

This Agreement and DOR’s Privacy Notice comprise the entire agreement between DOR and You, and supersedes any prior agreements with respect to the subject matter herein.

DOR will post notice of revisions to this agreement 10 days before the revised agreement takes effect. If any revision is unacceptable to You, You must discontinue accessing the Site. Your continued accessing and use of the Site following any revision shall conclusively be deemed acceptance of all revisions.

The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or any other policy, is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intent of the parties and the remaining portions will continue in full force and effect. DOR’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any part of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the state of Washington. The venue of any action arising from this Agreement shall be in the Superior Court for Thurston County. This Agreement is personal to You and You may not assign Your rights or obligations to anyone. A violation of any term by You may result in monetary, civil and/or criminal penalties.
