B. Interpretation; Choice of Law; Headings; Reservation of Rights. If any provision of the Terms is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Headings are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in interpreting these Terms. The Terms do not limit any rights that Charity Footprints may have under trade secret, copyright, patent or other laws.

C. ARBITRATION. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE.
