The Acceptable Use Policy is a separate document incorporated by reference, meaning violations of rules you may not have specifically read can result in account termination and fund holds, with limited ability to challenge the outcome in court due to the arbitration clause.
PayPal's User Agreement significantly affects your financial rights and access to funds — PayPal can place holds on your money for up to 180 days and limit or suspend your account at its discretion.

You can opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending a written notice to PayPal's Legal Department at 2211 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95131 within 30 days of first accepting the User Agreement.
