The choice of New York governing law, excluding conflict of laws principles, determines which jurisdiction's substantive rules apply to disputes, potentially overriding protections available under the user's home state law.
Governing law determines which state's legal standards apply to any dispute, and the exclusion of conflict of law rules prevents courts from applying the law of a different state.
This clause is consequential because it fixes the substantive law applicable to all disputes regardless of where the user is located, which may affect the rights available to the user.
These Terms and all matters regarding their interpretation and/or enforcement are governed by the Law of the State of New York, excluding its choice of law rules.
Designating New York law as the governing law, regardless of where the user is located or where a dispute arises, determines which legal rules and standards apply to any claim.
Any dispute or claim by you arising out of or related to this Agreement will be governed by New York law, exclusive of its choice of law rules.
Users in all locations are subject to New York law for any Privacy Policy dispute or dispute arising from purchase, registration, or use of OpenRouter products or Services, which may affect their available legal remedies and protections.
