The dual-entity structure allocates legal and regulatory obligations between two separate corporate entities based on geographic jurisdiction. This mechanism allows Yelp to structure its contractual relationships to align with the regulatory frameworks of different territorial jurisdictions, including compliance with European data protection and consumer protection regimes.
Users' contractual counterparty is determined by their stated country of residence, which affects which entity's legal obligations, dispute resolution procedures, and regulatory compliance standards apply to their service agreement. The provision establishes that continued use of the service constitutes agreement with the applicable entity.
