Virtual Exhibitions that are governed by different Terms of Services. 2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE ArTatoO! currently provides users with access
to a collection of resources, including artwork posting, forums, chat
rooms and guestbooks through its network (the "Service"). As
a member of AdsBan Campaign, ArTatoO! keeps its Service free of advertisements

corporate network. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features
that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of
new ArTatoO! properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and

you and ArTatoO! and govern your use of the Service, superceding any prior
agreements between you and ArTatoO!. You also may be subject to additional
terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party
content or third-party software. The TOS and the relationship between
you and ArTatoO! shall be governed by the laws of United Kingdom without
regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and ArTatoO! agree to submit
to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within
the county of Oxfordshire. The failure of ArTatoO! to exercise or enforce
any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such
right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that
the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as
reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain
in full force and effect. 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 the Service or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after
such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. 25. VIOLATIONS Please report any violations of the TOS to our Customer Care group. |
