U.S. And International Information

Most of the information on the BT Managed Security Solutions Group site applies internationally, but a significant amount of information applies only to certain countries or regions. For instance, if you see the following indication in connection with information on the BT Managed Security Solutions Group site:

The information on this page applies to businesses in the U.S.

then that information applies only to businesses operating in the U.S. If you live outside of the U.S., the fact that you access to such U.S.-specific information does not mean that such information applies, or ever will apply to your country or region. Although BT tries to mark all country- and region-specific information with this form of indication, it does not warrant or represent that all information without this indication applies internationally. You should check the applicability of any information on the BT Managed Security Solutions Group site to you or your organization.

Governing Law

The Rules will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, excluding only its conflict of law provisions. Each party that visits a BT Managed Security Solutions Group site hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts within the State of California, and waives any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

Any failure by BT to enforce any of its rights under the Rules or applicable laws shall not constitute a waiver of such right. If any provision of the Rules is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you, BT, and the court shall endeavor to give effect to the intent reflected in that provision, and the remaining Rules provisions shall retain their full force and effect.

United States and foreign export control laws regulate the export and re-export of technology originating in the United States and such foreign countries. You will abide by these laws and regulations as applicable and will not transfer, directly or indirectly, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any content or software from the BT Managed Security Solutions Group site to or from any countries or foreign nationals in violation of such laws or regulations.
