Customer expressly agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction in Maryland and agrees that the forum for any litigation pursuant to this Agreement or any other contract between Seller and Customer, whether Seller or Customer brings suit, shall be the County of Montgomery, Maryland. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Maryland.
Customer further agrees to pay all amounts due under this Agreement until Seller has received written notice closing this account, mailed U.S. Mail Certified Return Receipt Requested, no matter what person or entity ordered or used the labor and material supplied on this account and regardless of any change in the legal structure of Customer or the existence of entities or individuals legally distinct from Customer using or benefiting from the labor and materials supplied. In the event other entities or individuals order or use the labor or materials pursuant to this Agreement, it is agreed that both the Customer and such other legal entities or individuals shall be obligated for all amounts due under this Agreement.

Customer further irrevocably assigns to Seller its account receivable and further grants Seller a security interest in any account receivable arising from relating to the labor or materials supplied by Seller to the extent that sums are justly due to Seller under this Agreement.
Seller may stop the manufacture or supply of any labor or materials when it, in its sole discretion, determines that Customer is in breach of this Agreement or any other contract with Seller, or Seller has insecurity with respect to Customer’s creditworthiness, until payment is made and any dispute or insecurity has been resolved. Customer further agrees that Seller shall not, in any event, be responsible for any damage due to delay in supply of any labor or materials. Customer agrees to pay a reasonable storage fee if materials are stored on Seller's yard more than 60 days.
