This provision establishes Delaware as the governing law for site-level terms and designates the FAA as the governing framework for Section 10, which by reference indicates an arbitration clause. The interaction between the FAA carve-out and Delaware consumer law creates a dual-framework structure for dispute resolution that may affect users' ability to rely on state-specific consumer protections.
Interpretive note: Section 10, which is governed by the FAA and likely contains the arbitration clause, is referenced but not reproduced in this document, making full assessment of the arbitration framework impossible from this text alone.
Under this clause, disputes arising from site use are governed by Delaware law, while any arbitration-related provisions in Section 10 are governed by the FAA. The specific content of Section 10 is referenced but not reproduced in this document, limiting visibility into the full arbitration framework.
