The
purpose of "Max Galleries" is to present images of and
information about talented youngsters, including young
actors and actresses, athletes, and musicians, to commemorate their talent
and their work, and for the enjoyment of the stars and their fans.Max
Galleries strives to be different from the plethora of other "teen idol"
and young star fan sites on the Internet:
- Whenever possible we feature original and unique photographs of our
featured stars, mostly through our affiliation with professional
photographers but also by providing scans of photos we have purchased
through other sources.
- Max Galleries features both male and female talented youngsters,
some who are very well-known and some lesser-known names.
Unless
specifically stated on a star's Homepage, "Max Galleries" web site has no
official connection with the stars, their agents, families, film
companies, etc.

original video captures from VHS tapes or DVDs that Max Galleries has
purchased, unless otherwise noted. All the scans of printed material
that are presented on this site are original scans from printed material
(magazines, CDs, books, photos, newspapers, etc.) that we have purchased,
unless otherwise noted. Copyrights of video captures and scans of
printed materials remain with the original copyright holders. Site

Linking
to this website: Feel free to provide links from your website to this
website. Because we periodically move or rename the files on our server,
you should link or bookmark ONLY to the Max Galleries Homepage or to any
of the Star's Homepages at Max Galleries, as these pages' locations are
normally not subject to change.
DO NOT LINK directly to Max
Galleries' internal Galleries and pictures!
Hot-linking directly to our pictures is a violation of federal law and
also violates the Terms of Service of most web hosting companies,
including our own. Max Galleries aggressively pursues such
hot-linkers and breaks all such links upon discovery.
Privacy
Information / Collecting Personal Information from Visitors: Max
Galleries respects the privacy of our visitors and does not collect any
personal information from visitors without their knowledge, with the
exception of standard logging of visiting IP addresses that is done by all
web hosting companies, and cookies used by web page counters for the
purpose of determining the number of visitors to the site. Both the
web host's logs and web counter cookies also record the referring domain
for all incoming visits. This is standard practice for any web site
you visit. Your personal information will not be disclosed by Max
Galleries to any third-parties unless ordered to do so by law enforcement
or other authorities. We take every reasonable precaution to
safeguard the privacy of your information, but we cannot absolutely
guarantee to safeguard it against the criminal actions or negligence of

these policies and notices.
The
Store at Max Galleries gives you links to popular online vendors
for your convenience. We hope you will find lots of movies, books,
and music to enjoy. Please understand that Max Galleries cannot
guarantee your satisfaction when buying from these sources. Also,
the online vendors may sometimes change their product links or a product
may become unavailable, and one of our links may then go to a dead page at
the vendor's site. We apologize for this sort of inconvenience as we
try to keep the links as up to date as possible. Max Galleries has
entered into a standard affiliate agreement with
Amazon.com as an
Amazon.com Associate. Details of this agreement can be viewed at the
vendor's web site. This agreement allows us to display their logos,
provide direct links to their products, and provide search boxes to their
site's product inventories. As part of our agreement with Amazon,
Max Galleries may receive a small commission for referral sales made from
our site.
Outbound
Link Criteria: On each star's Homepage there are outbound links to
other sites of interest for that star. The Max Galleries
"Links" page has outbound links to sites that
feature many young stars, sites that provide links to other star sites,
and links to some of the resources used to create Max Galleries.
Outbound links are selected by the Max Galleries webmaster and staff
based on several criteria. First and foremost are links to a star's
official web site, personal web site, official fan site, and widely
recognized resources such as
Fansites.com and
IMDb.com.
Secondly, outbound links to unofficial fan sites are selected based on
these criteria:
- The site must be focused on the star and provide original
information and / or images of the star. We see no need to link to
numerous sites that are using the same information and images
cut-and-pasted from other sites.
- The site must not be adult-oriented, have links to adult-oriented
material, or in any way portray itself as anything other than a
family-oriented site focused on the star or stars.
- The site must be up to date and well maintained.
- This is the most subjective of the criteria but basically we only
link to sites that are visually appealing, easy and fun to view, and
will add to the fans' experience of finding out more about the star or
stars.
