This warranty is governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota and the laws of the United States of America.  Any and all disputes arising from this warranty, the purchase and use of the Product, bodily injury, property damage claims or otherwise must be venued in the Second Judicial Circuit Court sitting in Minnehaha County, South Dakota.  Customer agrees to such venue and waives objection to such court’s jurisdiction based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenience.
