No section of these Terms shall be held to be waived, modified, or deleted except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import. Any cause of action you may have with respect to WAF must be commenced within one year after the claim or cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is barred.
