The seat or place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right.

This Terms of Use and any dispute arising from this Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

General
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Terms of Use, or a portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of this Terms of Use, and the remainder of this Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect. A printed version of this Terms of Use shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings.

No waiver by Protective or Marketplace Platform Provider of any term or condition set forth in this Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Protective or Marketplace Platform Provider to assert a right or provision under this Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
