For international users, applicable local laws govern. These terms do not alter statutory rights that cannot be waived.

These terms, the Privacy Policy, and any referenced terms constitute the entire agreement regarding the site. If any provision is found legally invalid, the remaining terms survive. A court may limit, delete, or replace an invalid provision with a valid alternative that reflects the original intent.
