Sections 1 through 8 and 10 survive termination.
10. General
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. Company may update this Agreement by requiring User to accept the revised version before continuing to access the Platform. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties on its subject and may not be assigned by User.
