Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold the Museum and its directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless against all liabilities, losses, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that any of the indemnified parties may incur arising out of your use of our Site, services or content or your violation of these Terms.

Termination
We reserve the right to terminate these Terms, our Site, and any services or content offered through our Site at any time without notice for any reason. The “Disclaimers,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Indemnification,” and “General” sections of these Terms (along with any other provision that by its terms contemplates survival) will survive any termination.
General
These Terms, which includes the Privacy Policy, are the complete agreement between you and the Museum regarding your use of our Site, supersede all other agreements (oral or written) between you and the Museum, and are governed by and should be construed according to the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and completely performed in New York, unless doing so would lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. You irrevocably agree to: (i) bring any claim or dispute relating to your use of our Site and these Terms exclusively in the state and federal courts located in the State and County of New York; (ii) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts; and (iii) waive any objection to those courts based on inconvenience or other reasons. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without the Museum’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment will be null and void. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms is unenforceable for any reason, then that provision will be deleted (or, if possible, modified in a manner that reflects the original intent as closely as possible) and the remaining provisions will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law (unless doing so would deprive either party of a material benefit of these Terms). The failure of a party to assert any right under these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that party’s right. The word “including” in these Terms is intended to be illustrative and means “including without being limited to.”
