Agreement to Arbitrate: YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND HES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, SITES, CONTENT OR RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER WILL BE DECIDED ONLY BY ARBITRATION.
Governing Law: The laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to choice of law principles, shall apply to any dispute between you and HES, except as to matters relating to arbitration, which shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
