Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
The Site (excluding links to Web Sites operated by others) is
controlled and operated by Arie A. Galles from its offices in Southern
California. Although The Artist has made no effort to publish the Site
elsewhere, it is accessible in all fifty U.S. states and in other countries due
to its presence on the Worldwide Web. As each of these states and countries have
laws which may differ from those of California and from each other, by visiting
this website you agree that all matters arising from or relating to the use and
operation of the Site will be governed by the laws of the State of California,
without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree that all claims you
may have arising from or relating to the operation or use of the Site will be
heard and resolved in the courts of Los Angeles, California. You consent to
personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, stipulate to the fairness and
convenience of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to assert any

relating to your use of or operation of the Site. From time to time these Terms
and Conditions will be updated on The Site by posting new information. You are
bound by such revisions and should periodically visit this page to review the
then-current Terms and Conditions. If I look serious above ... it is only
because disclosures and disclaimers are the antithesis of art ... but do need to
be done.
