14.1 Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them (“Dispute”) are governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, United States, regardless of conflict of laws provisions.

The Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision.

16.2 Entire Agreement: These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us, superseding any prior agreements, communications, and proposals (oral or written).
