9. Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of France and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that location. This choice of law and jurisdiction is appropriate given Camille Monfort's French heritage and the location of primary historical records.
