10. GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and Fotothing and

shall be governed by the laws of the United Kingdom without regard to
its conflict of law provisions. You and Fotothing agree to submit to the
personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the
United Kingdom. The failure of Fotothing 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. The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have
no legal or contractual effect.
