or INPIM. (or its agents, suppliers, and subcontractors) pending the
completion of arbitration.

fail to notify you. You have the right to request that we provide such
notices to you in paper format, and may do so by contacting INPIM.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms
shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of our sites
or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or
cause of action arose or be forever barred.

you may have with us.

of California, and the parties irrevocably consent to bring any action
to enforce these Terms before an arbitration panel or before a court of
competent jurisdiction in San Francisco, California if seeking interim
or preliminary relief or enforcement of an arbitration award.

pursuant to applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision
will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most
closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder
of the Terms shall continue in effect.
