      3. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law.

      9. Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. If You reside in the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement above must be brought in state or federal court in Delaware, unless we both agree to some other location.
