These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

To the extent it cannot be so enforced, it shall be deemed severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
If a provision is determined to be unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, that determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the same provision in any other jurisdiction to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Any waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective only if made expressly in writing by an authorized representative of Indigo Sky Studios.
