Choice of Law, Venue and Jurisdiction. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana.

10. Miscellaneous

Failure by WBOC to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by WBOC without restriction. If any provision of these Terms, or any portion thereof, is held to be invalid and unenforceable, then the remainder of these Terms nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

11. Policy on Publication of Arrest Information

WBOC may periodically publish content regarding arrests based on information that is provided by local authorities. This content may include a mugshot. It is WBOC's policy not to remove any such content, even if the person arrested is later acquitted or has his or her arrest record expunged. If WBOC receives sufficient notice that the person identified in the content was not actually arrested, WBOC will consider a request to remove or edit any such content. However, a subsequent acquittal or expungement is not generally sufficient grounds to request that WBOC remove accurate content regarding an arrest.
