Without limiting the foregoing, ArtPal and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable.

The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and ArtPal and govern your use of ArtPal, superceding any prior agreements between you and ArtPal.

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of ArtPal or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
