Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Requiring disputes to be resolved in Delaware courts creates a practical barrier for most individual users and non-US users who would face significant cost and inconvenience to pursue claims.

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within Delaware for resolution of any dispute arising out of these Terms.
