otherwise host any online store anywhere on the Yahoo! site.

GENERAL
The YTDA and the relationship between Merchant and Yahoo! shall be
governed by the laws of the state of California without regard to its
conflict of law provisions. Merchant and Yahoo! agree to submit to
the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the
State of California for the County of Santa Clara or the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California. Yahoo!'s
failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the YTDA
shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any
provision of the YTDA is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should
endeavor to give effect to the parties intentions as reflected in the
provision, and agree that the other provisions of the YTDA remain in
full force and effect. Merchant agrees that regardless of any statute
or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or
related to use of the Service or the YTDA must be filed within one (1)
year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
The section titles in the YTDA are for convenience only and have no
legal or contractual effect.
