• The Delaware entity is the one the page identifies as United States.

Not stated here

• The page does not say which of the three entities sells to a given buyer, or whether a United States buyer is always served by the United States entity.
• The page does not describe how a dispute with a reseller is resolved, only which law governs purchase transactions.
