When we think of our lives, our place in humanity and our world, we tend to think of it on a broad scale that encompasses all that we do and experience as an ordinary ritual of sorts. But what if that world we focus so heavily on each day causes us to lose sight of so much more.
Consider that all life, each individual entity, is a world all its own, made up of countless functions and processes in constant motion. We must realize that life is happening in each ability, every talent, each characteristic—every second. Examine them as though they are the only thing in your world. See them as a sole entity, full of energy and vitality and become enlightened as to the extraordinary genius of your creation.
Within each thought that becomes an idea, every ability that becomes a creation and each characteristic that brings interaction with others, there is an opportunity to discover that perhaps the meaning of life is simply that life has meaning. The hours we are given to live are our opportunity to find that meaning in each and every aspect of our lives.

Women Priests? No. An explanation.
Posted on 31 January 2013 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf
CNS has posted a video of an interview with the Theologian of the Papal Household, Fr. Wojciech Giertych, OP. He talks about male only priesthood.

QUAERITUR: Blessing chickens
Anne 2 says:
CCC: " 1577 Only a baptized man (vir) validly receives sacred ordination.
The Lord Jesus chose men (viri) to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry.
The college of bishops, with whom the priests are united in the priesthood, makes the college of the twelve an ever-present and ever-active reality until Christ's return.
The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself.
For this reason the ordination of women is not possible. "
I'm just sitting here loving the line: "The Church by being rooted in the truth that we have received…is liberated from the slavery of fashion." Just, wow. Exactly.
FloridaJoan says:
Father Wojciech presented many excellent reasons of why priests are males. And he gave them so eloquently. But I particularly enjoyed his comment …" the Church is liberated from the slavery of fashion …". Oh that today many confused individuals would stop trying to fashion our Church into what they want her to be instead of what Christ instituted.
pax et bonum
Excellent talk, so many fine points:
"Instituted by Christ, not invented by the Church"
"we are not free to invent the priesthood according to our own expectations"
were my 2 favorite quotes.
Luvadoxi says:
I'm not trying to be snarky, or to cause trouble–I have an honest question, and I hope people can answer it in the spirit in which I ask it. Jesus chose men as his twelve apostles. He chose Jewish men, not Gentile men. So it seems like the argument that he chose only men can come in for some criticism there. Can someone help me out here?
sacerdosinaeternum says:
That's a good question, Luvadoxi. When Our Lord established the new covenant in His blood, it began with the Jewish people. It was only after the descent of the Holy Spirit that the mission was given to Sts. Peter and Paul to bring the Gospel to the Gentiles and to bring the Gentiles into the Church. And while the Lord chose Jewish men, they were not those expected…they were tax collectors and sinners. More to the point, the reason He chose men was because He became incarnate as a man (male). Those sacramentally conformed to Him as Priests to act in His person as Head and Bridegroom of His Church cannot, therefore, be women. The Church does not believe in same sex "marriage" in any sense of the word.
maryh says:
Easily, since that is a question I too have wrestled with.
The fact is that the only significant physical difference between human beings is sex. Every other difference is a difference in degree, not kind. So nationality, ethnicity, race doesn't matter. Sex does.
William Tighe says:
I have a different answer. Judaism was a "proselytizing" religion in the time of Our Lord's earthly life, and for some two centuries previously and four centuries afterwards. So when we say that he "chose Jewish men, not Gentile men," all we are really saying is that he chose men who were members of God's covenanted people, whether or not their ancestors had been members for generations, or their parents has converted, or they themselves had converted. The Church is, as St. Paul more than once termed it, "the Israel of God," and from this perspective the quarrel between the Jews and Catholic Christians was, and has remained for nearly two millenia, the question of the identity of the true Israel, the "Israel of God."
This being the case, the Church has never, ever chosen, called or ordained "Gentile men" in the theological sense, for every baptized person ceases by that fact to be a gentile, a pagan, but becomes a member of the "Israel of God," or of what many Church Fathers called the "Third Race," neither Jews nor Gentiles in any racial or ethnic sense.
NBW says:
Excellent talk!
LisaP. says:
Luvadoxi,
You'll get better answers here, but I'd say the one that comes up easily is that Christ was surrounded by women, and followed by many. But he was living in a Jewish community, so it's reasonable to think his choice of Jewish over Gentile was simply about opportunity, while he had plenty of easy opportunity to choose a woman if that was what he wanted to do.
I'd also suggest that there are cultural but not inherent natural differences between those of different races and ethnicities, but there are actual inherent differences between men and women.
I'm sure others will do better!
Dr. Edward Peters says:
It was full of little gems. My favorite's was Christina's, too.
Dr Guinness says:
I completely understand this, and have no issue with what Father says.
However, those misguided few who support the "ordination" of women would never listen to anything a "misogynist hierarch" has to say on the topic, to the extent of their themesong suggesting we ignore S' Paul, so logical reasoning with these people is near impossible. I can't imagine Mr Roy Bourgeois and his crew sitting around a table at their conference saying, "Well, if the Pope has declared it's a null and void topic, I think we'd better drop this."
On a side note, this Polish Dominican Father's English is absolutely magnificent!
Oops, maryh, we crossed in cyberspace! Sorry for the repeat!
No problem, LisaP. You said it better than I did anyway.
Re Luvadoxi
Christ came to fulfill the prophecies of the Jews, not of the Gentiles. The old laws of Moses ended and the new Law began with Christ. Being the fulfillment of the old law it is only right that those He chose as His Apostles were among those raised in and practicing the old law. They could draw upon the continuity that flows from Judaism to Christianity.
Christ did not fulfill the false gods of the Gentiles, for He Himself was the God of the Jews. Same God, new law, new priesthood. Continuity.
Make sense? :)
Thank you all for your respectful, thoughtful answers. I'm still puzzling over this; Darren's answer comes closest to making the most sense to me. But I'm still not really convinced….but I'm faithful to the Magisterium and whatever it says.
It still isn't easy to accept. No EZ Pass, as Father Z says!
The Masked Chicken says:
Darren is correct. Christ is the new Moses. The original Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, with the help of Jewish leaders and elders, but once they settled into the Promised Land, their time of flight was over. Christ came, first of all, to the Jews and, in a sense, as the new Moses, he was not, at that time, free to choose from any except the Jews to be his apostles, but after his death and Resurrection, salvation was extended to the Gentiles, and, as witness to that, Gentile bishops were chosen. This is in parallel with the gift of tongues being bestowed upon the group of Gentiles at St. Peter's preaching – both are a sign of the full incorporation of the gentiles in the plan of salvation.
Now, there are two aspects to being one of the twelve apostles: being a Jew and being a man. Male and female, Jews and Greek, slave and freeman are included in the Universal Plan of Salvation. The ethnicity requirement was, consequently, relaxed after the Resurrection, but Christ is still the new Moses and the entourage carrying the Ark of His Covenant are still, as they always have been, men.
In other words, the word, Gentile and man are signs pointing to two different things within the order of salvation.
Peter's vision showed that all were included in the universal plan of salvation, as you said, Masked Chicken. After the Resurrection, Gentile men were chosen as bishops, but not before. Why not women? I'm still not seeing the distinction here between Gentile and man, especially given the sinful nature of human beings and the despicable treatment and ideas about women's inferiority promoted by those even within the Church.
I know what it sounds like and I'm not trying to ask for more explanations, really. I'm obedient to the Church. I do like seeing a man as priest, reminding me that Christ was a human man. Maybe that's enough. I still am not intellectually convinced though. But that's ok. I don't need all the answers. But it is going to be hard to convince those outside the Church, especially when they are made fun of so much by believers.
fvhale says:
Dear Luvadoxi,
The male-female distinction is both from "the beginning," the creation of humanity by God, and also extends even into the world to come, in the resurrection. Each man is man from his conception and throughout eternity; each woman is woman from her conception, and throughout eternity. We do not loose the sexual distinction of the body in resurrection.
Quoting from Bl. Pope John Paul II, in his General Audience of 2 Dec 1981:
4. The words, "They neither marry nor are given in marriage" seem to affirm at the same time that human bodies, recovered and at the same time renewed in the resurrection, will keep their masculine or feminine peculiarity. The sense of being a male or a female in the body will be constituted and understood in that age in a different way from what it had been from the beginning, and then in the whole dimension of earthly existence. The words of Genesis: "A man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh" (2:24), constituted right from the beginning that condition and relationship of masculinity and femininity, extended also to the body, which must rightly be defined as conjugal and at the same time as procreative and generative. It is connected with the blessing of fertility, pronounced by God (Elohim) when he created man "male and female" (Gn 1:27). The words Christ spoke about the resurrection enable us to deduce that the dimension of masculinity and femininity—that is, being male and female in the body—will again be constituted together with the resurrection of the body in "that age."
Being male or female is part of what we are; we cannot change it. God made us that way.
On the other hand, being a Jew of Gentile can, in fact, be a matter of personal choice, and change of faith. No doubt those early Christians who started life as Jews would consider that their faith grew and was fulfilled when they believed in Christ.
There is a great difference between the categories "Gentile," which a person can enter or leave, and "man" (as distinct from "woman") which is an eternal part of a person.
Reginald Pole says:
Fr. Giertych's English should be good since he was born in London of Polish parents.
JacobWall says:
A beautiful point which Father Wojciech mentions is the "enormous dignity" women have, special access which women have to the "heart of Jesus", in connection with the early virgin martyrs – a dignity and access that men simply don't and cannot have. Something I have pointed out to supporters of ordination of women is that the very idea debases this "enormous dignity;" it belittles it by claiming that women need something "greater" (i.e. the male priesthood) in order to have dignity. In the same way, it also debases the dignity of motherhood.
@JacobWall said ordination of women "also debases the dignity of motherhood."
Widukind says:
Very well done, and easily understood.
To put in my two cents on the question of Jewish males vs. Gentile males….
Remember that before Abraham became Abraham, he met "Melchisedech, the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God" (Gen. 14:18, DRV).
Melchisedech certainly was not a Jew, and probably was not a Hebrew.
Hebrews chapter 7 elaborates on the relationship between the Levitical priesthood and priesthood according to the order of Melchisedech. The writer points out that Levi (the Jewish priestly tribe) paid tithes to Melchisedech (the non-Jewish priest of God) through Abraham (who was then still only Abram the Hebrew (cf. Gen. 14:13)).
Then the writer says that Jesus, our High Priest, did not come from the tribe of Levi, or any other tribe from which priests were taken:
"If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law, for he of whom these things are spoken is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests" (Heb. 7:11-14, DRV).
I think these two points, first that Melchisedech was not a Jew (and probably not a Hebrew), and second that Jesus was not from a priestly tribe, clearly demonstrate that priesthood is appropriate to men as a group, and not simply Jewish men, or men of Hebrew stock.
Here's another view from Father Barron on the issue, looking at what real power in the Catholic Church is: http://youtu.be/CuT8yTakq54
As an aside, one sad commentator sees woman's ability to bear new life as an insignificant difference with men that he calls merely "giving mammalian birth". Now that's real respect for womanhood. Not.

We need only to look to the Holy Father's explanation:

The case is settled: NO WOMEN PRIESTS.
Radical leftists are only bringing the issue back into the limelight because of the military's decision to allow American women into combat roles. This is a clever psychological tactic liberals have used for decades to bamboozle unsuspecting readers: take a current topic to ride your agenda onto its coattails.

Imrahil says:
Dear @Luvadoxi,
I'm not trying to ask for more explanations.
Do so. Please. In obedience; but do ask. If we are not convinced ourselves we may, perhaps, obey. But how to convince others? Including the little "other one" within ourselves we so often mean when we try to highlight the attractiveness of Christianity. Fides quaerens intellectum.
The question why Christ's choosing only men is binding (as opposed to His choosing Jews) has a very simply answer imho, though I want to thank dear @William Tighe and @Michelle F very much for their insightful thoughts.
The Church, who is guided by the Lord and prevented from error, never even remotely dreamt of an all-Jewish priesthood. That begins with St. Paul. On the other hand, it fought down all efforts of a female priesthood.
In doing so, the Church could claim to fulfill an Old Testament prophecy (which I cannot find now) that God will, in the future, choose priests from the Gentiles.
I've heard it be said (by Anglican pro-women ordination types) that the fact women are so prominent in the Gospels (unusually prominent for the time and place) as faithful servants of Our Lord is somehow proof that they should be ordained priests. However, I see it the other way. For me, the fact that there are so many women (Our Lady, St Mary Magdalene, St Martha, the unnamed Gentile woman, etc) in the company of Our Lord, and yet all having roles clearly distinctly from the male Apostles, is proof that women should not be ordained but should rather aspire to fulfil their own, special roles in the Church.
PA mom says:
"should aspire to fulfill their own roles in the Church"
I agree with this so much! After all, just look to all of the amazing work done by women in the Church before this whole "ordain women" push came through. Women were crossing oceans to found and run schools, orphanages, hospitals, soup kitchens and shelters. Instead of feeling constrained by the inability to be priests, they were listening for God's inspiration as to the place where they were most needed and doing wonderful works. It really requires an enormous amount of trust and faith and fortitude.
It is so special in its own way, surely it can be enough?
robtbrown says:
Christ came, first of all, to the Jews
I prefer the phrase of the 4th Gospel: Salvation is from (ek) the Jews.
Fair enough, but the Fourth Gospel also says [John 1:11 – 12]:
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
I suppose bith perspectives are correct.
both perspectives
StWinefride,
thanks! St Ambrose is always interesting to read, but that has to be done later – I'm going to adoration, Mass and St Blaise-benediction in a couple of minutes. Hope that helps against the nasty viruses and bacterias my four year old brings home from the daycare center…
The 9th chapter of Romans makes an important distinction:
For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel. Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called." That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.
Vexilla Regis: You're welcome! Candlemas tomorrow and St Blaise on Sunday here, but there is also the Blessing of Throats in some churches from today as well.
Imrahil–thank you! That inner "little other one" asks a lot of questions–and because of the time I grew up in (Baby Boomers), I'm not sure I can be a good apologist for the faith when the hard questions are asked, because I get a deer-in-headlights expression and stress symptoms! My daughter is much better at not being afraid of the tough questions. That's what I love about the Church–faith seeking understanding–we can still ask why without being disobedient. Because others (and the other in me) *will* ask, and I want to have a good answer. On the tough questions–this one, contraception, and others–it's very hard to get a calm, thoughtful response free of anger and emotions from anyone, pro or con. Maybe in a hundred years or so….

I've been thinking to cook my dad's tomato soup for ages. Yes you hear me right! My dad's. He cooks the best tomato soup ever. It's simple and delicious!
And simple is what I need to cook while I'm at home with a cold.
So last night I cooked my dad's tomato soup as I remember it.
This is a soup that can be eaten hot or cold. Perfect for a hot summer day and for a day when you just want to heal your sore throat!
Cut them all really small , chopped and add to a pan with 100 ml water boiling. To that add 3 tablespoons of washed white rice. Let them boil well and when all done add 1 tin of chopped tomatoes and fill the pan with stock. I used 1 vegetable stock dissolved in about 1 l of water. Let it boil and it's ready to eat!

Patients with celiac regularly exposed to gluten, even on a gluten-free diet
Testing for gluten immunogenic peptides in fecal and urine sample from patients with celiac disease revealed that these patients were frequently exposed to gluten, according to study results.
"Based on evidence established by recent studies, the gluten immunogenic peptide [GIP] tests have emerged as specific tools that add value to the previous strategies used to identify gluten exposure," Julio C. Bai, MD, of Dr. C. Bonorino Udaondo Gastroenterology Hospital in Argentina, and colleagues wrote. "We hypothesized that the use of GIP testing would provide information on patterns of exposure to gluten in celiac disease patients."
Researchers conducted a prospective study comprising 53 patients with celiac disease who had adhered to a gluten-free diet for more than 2 years. Patients collected stool samples every Friday and Saturday, as well as urine samples every Sunday for 4 weeks. Investigators measured GIP using ELISA testing on the stool and point-of-care tests on the urine samples.
Bai and colleagues found that of 420 total samples, 159 were positive for GIP. Additionally, 88.7% of patients had at least one fecal or urine sample that tested positive for GIP.
The number of patients with a sample that tested positive for GIP increased over the course of the 4-week study period (urine sample in week 1 vs. week 4, P < .05), and patients with symptoms had more weeks in which GIP was detected in stool than patients without symptoms (P < .05).
Bai and colleagues wrote that inadvertent gluten exposure, particularly during weekends, might explain the persistence of symptoms despite adherence to a gluten-free diet.
"We believe that this study could help increase the understanding of frequency of gluten exposure in a real-life scenario and lead to the development of new strategies to improve long-term dietary monitoring," they wrote. "More research is necessary to establish guidelines for the applicability of GIP testing to improve gluten-free diet compliance." – by Alex Young

Customer agrees that its purchases hereunder are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Argyle regarding any future functionality or features.

CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS.
Customer System. Customer is responsible for (a) obtaining, deploying and maintaining the Customer System; (b) contracting with third party ISP, telecommunications and other service providers to access and use the Argyle Platform via the Internet; and (c) paying all third party fees and access charges incurred in connection with the foregoing. Except as specifically set forth in these Terms or a separate agreement between Customer and Argyle referencing these Terms, Argyle shall not be responsible for supplying any hardware, software or other equipment to Customer under these Terms.
Acceptable Use. Customer shall be solely responsible for its actions and the actions of its Authorized Users while using the Argyle Platform and Argyle Applications. Customer acknowledges and agrees: (a) to abide by all local, state, national, and international laws and regulations applicable to Customer's use of the Argyle Platform and Argyle Applications, including without limitation the provision and storage of Customer Data; (b) not to send or store data on or to the Argyle Platform which violates the rights of any individual or entity established in any jurisdiction; (c) not to upload in any way any information or content that contain Malicious Code or data that may damage the operation of the Argyle Platform or another's computer, augmented reality device, or mobile device; (d) not to use the Argyle Platform or Argyle Applications for illegal, fraudulent, unethical or inappropriate purposes; (e) not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the Argyle Platform or interfere with others' ability to access or use the Argyle Platform; (f) not to distribute, promote or transmit through the Argyle Platform any unlawful, harmful, obscene, pornographic or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature; (g) not to transmit or post any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability; (h) to comply with all regulations, policies and procedures of networks connected to the Argyle Platform and Argyle's service providers; and (i) to use the Argyle Platform and Argyle Applications only in accordance with the Documentation. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Argyle neither endorses any Customer communications or Customer Data, nor does Argyle assume any responsibility for any offensive material contained therein, any infringement of third party Intellectual Property Rights arising therefrom or any crime facilitated thereby. Argyle may, but is not required to, remove any violating content posted or stored using the Argyle Platform or transmitted through the Argyle Platform, without notice to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Argyle does not guarantee and is not obligated to verify, authenticate, monitor or edit the Customer Data, or any other information or data input into or stored in the Argyle Platform for completeness, integrity, legality, quality, accuracy or otherwise. Customer shall be responsible and liable for the completeness, integrity, legality, quality and accuracy of Customer Data and other information input into the Argyle Platform. Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations in its use of the Argyle Platform.
Accuracy of Customer's Contact Information; Email Notices. Customer agrees to provide accurate, current and complete information as necessary for Argyle to communicate with Customer from time to time regarding the Services, issue invoices or accept payment, or contact Customer for other account-related purposes. Customer agrees to keep any online account information current and inform Argyle of any changes in Customer's legal business name, address, email address and phone number. Customer agrees to accept emails from Argyle at the e-mail addresses specified by it for login purposes. In addition, Customer agrees that Argyle may rely and act on all information and instructions provided to Argyle by Authorized Users from such e-mail addresses.
Temporary Suspension. Argyle may temporarily suspend Customer's or its Authorized Users' access to the Argyle Platform in the event that either Customer or any of its Authorized Users is engaged in, or Argyle in good faith suspects Customer or any of its Authorized Users is engaged in, any unauthorized conduct (including, but not limited to any violation of these Terms). Argyle will attempt to contact Customer prior to or contemporaneously with such suspension; provided, however, that Argyle's exercise of the suspension rights herein shall not be conditioned upon Customer's receipt of any notification. A suspension may take effect for Customer's entire account and Customer understands that such suspension would therefore include its Authorized Users' accounts. Customer agrees that Argyle shall not be liable to Customer, Authorized Users, or any third party if Argyle exercises its suspension rights as permitted by this Section. Upon determining that Customer has ceased the unauthorized conduct leading to the temporary suspension to Argyle's reasonable satisfaction, Argyle shall reinstate Customer's and its Authorized Users' access to and use of the Argyle Platform. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Argyle's suspension of access to the Argyle Platform is in addition to any other remedies that Argyle may have under these Terms or otherwise, including but not limited to termination of these Terms for cause. Additionally, if there are repeated incidences of suspension, regardless of the same or different cause and even if the cause or conduct is ultimately cured or corrected, Argyle may, in its reasonable discretion, determine that such circumstances, taken together, constitute a material breach.
AVAILABILITY; SECURITY.
Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, Argyle will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Argyle Platform available with minimal downtime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; provided, however, that the following are excepted from availability commitments: (a) planned downtime, or (b) unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Argyle's reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems or Internet service provider failures or delays. Argyle may make changes to the Argyle Platform and/or Argyle Applications at any time and without notice to Customer. Certain enhancements to the Argyle Platform and Argyle Applications made generally available at no cost to all users during the applicable Term will be made available to Customer at no additional charge. However, the availability of some new enhancements to the Argyle Platform and Argyle Applications may require the payment of additional fees, and Argyle will determine in its sole discretion whether access to any other such new enhancements will require an additional fee. These Terms will apply to, and the Argyle Platform and Argyle Applications include, any enhancements, updates, upgrades and new modules to the Argyle Platform provided in connection therewith and subsequently provided by Argyle to Customer hereunder.
Security; Privacy Policy. Argyle will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data in a manner consistent with what Argyle supplies generally to its other users. Please review Argyle's privacy policy, which is available on the Argyle Website (the "Privacy Policy") and which further explains how Argyle collects and uses the Customer Data and other information that Argyle collects through users' use of the Argyle Platform.
ANCILLARY SERVICES. Argyle shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Ancillary Services as set forth in applicable Project Forms. Each such Project Form will include, at a minimum: (a) a description of the Ancillary Services, (b) any work product or other deliverables to be provided to Customer (each a "Deliverable"), (c) the schedule for the provision of Ancillary Services, and (d) the applicable fees and payment terms for such Ancillary Services. Project Forms that include Ancillary Services may also contain additional terms and conditions that apply to the provision of such Ancillary Services. Such additional terms are incorporated herein by reference. Argyle and Customer shall cooperate to enable Argyle to perform the Ancillary Services according to the dates of performance and delivery terms set forth in each applicable Order Form. In addition, Customer shall perform any Customer obligations specified in each Order Form. In the event the Ancillary Services are not performed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Order Form, Customer shall notify Argyle in writing no later than thirty (30) calendar days after performance of the affected Ancillary Services, Customer's notice shall specify the basis for non-compliance with the Order Form and if Argyle agrees with the basis for non-compliance, then at Argyle's sole option, Argyle shall re-perform the Ancillary Services at no additional charge to Customer or refund to Customer the applicable fees for the affected Deliverable or Ancillary Service. THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ARGYLE'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE ANCILLARY SERVICES.
FEES AND PAYMENT.
Fees. Customer agrees to pay all applicable fees using one of the payment methods Argyle supports. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms, (a) fees are based on Services and software licenses purchased, regardless of actual usage, and (b) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable. Subscription fees are based on annual periods that begin on the Subscription Term start date and each anniversary thereof. All amounts payable under these Terms will be made without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding.
Payment. Argyle will invoice customer for the amounts set forth in applicable Project Forms and payment of such invoices is due upon the date set forth for such payment in the Project Form. Customer agrees that Argyle may invoice Customer for any unpaid fees, including without limitation any amounts owed by Customer that cannot be processed. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Argyle and notifying Argyle of any changes to such information. Customer agrees to pay all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date.
Overdue Charges. If Argyle does not receive fees by the due date, then at Argyle's discretion, (a) such charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and (b) Argyle may condition future purchases of Services on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 7.2 (Payment).
Suspension of Service. If any amounts owed by Customer for the Services are more than thirty (30) days overdue, Argyle may, without limiting Argyle's other rights and remedies, suspend Customer's and its Authorized Users' access to the Argyle Platform until such amounts are paid in full; provided that Argyle agrees that it will not exercise its rights under this Section if the applicable charges are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and Customer is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
Taxes. The fees applicable to Customer's and its Authorized Users' use of the Argyle Platform are exclusive of all sales, use, value added and other taxes or duties and Customer shall pay all such taxes (excluding taxes based on Argyle's net income).
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMER.

IF CUSTOMER IS A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, CUSTOMER WAIVES CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §1542, WHICH SAYS: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."

If so mailed or otherwise delivered, such notices shall be deemed and presumed to have been given on the earlier of the date of actual receipt or three (3) days after mailing or authorized form of delivery. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to these Terms shall be in the English language.

These Terms and the rights and obligations of the parties to and under this agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the United States and the State of Oregon as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed in such State without giving effect to conflicts of laws rules or principles. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to these Terms. The parties further agree to waive and opt-out of any application of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), or any version thereof, adopted by any state of the United States in any form. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including but not limited to any question regarding its existence, interpretation, validity, performance, or termination, or any dispute between the parties arising from the parties' relationship created by these Terms, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The parties shall endeavor to agree upon the sole arbitrator and jointly nominate the arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree upon the sole arbitrator within a time prescribed by AAA, the parties shall request the AAA to propose five (5) arbitrators and each party shall rank the proposed arbitrators.
