You hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction in any state or federal court or arbitral forum located in San Diego, California. If any provision of the Terms is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain valid and be enforced and construed as if such invalid provision were never a part of the Terms.

Accordingly, You hereby waive any requirement that Slate post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by, or awarded to, Slate to enforce any provision of the Terms.

The headings in the Terms are for convenience or reference only and are not to be considered when construing the Terms.
The Terms represent the entire agreement between You and Slate with respect to use of the Slate Sites. The Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between You and Slate that govern Your use of, or access to, the Slate Sites. In the event You are or were an employee of Slate, the terms of any employment policies or written agreements signed with the requisite authority from Slate’s CEO relating to Your employment with Slate (including any arbitration agreements) shall control to the extent deemed inconsistent with the Terms.
