You agree that we may revise these Terms of Use from time to time without prior notice to you. Any revisions to these Terms of Use will be reflected on this page. If the revisions are material, we may notify you of these changes via e-mail if we have your e-mail address.
The Terms of Use in force at the time you use the Site govern your use of the Site. You must check these Terms of Use each time you use the Site. You are responsible for understanding your obligations to us under these Terms of Use. Your continued use of the Site after we post changes to these Terms of Use means you accept and agree to the changes.
16. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore.
You agree that we shall try to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use (including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination) by negotiating in good faith.
If no amicable settlement is reached within 30 days from the start of such negotiations, we shall try to resolve the dispute by submitting it for mediation in Singapore at the Singapore International Mediation Centre in accordance with its Mediation Rules for the time being in force.
Thereafter, if no amicable settlement is reached through the aforesaid mediation, the dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the SIAC for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore and the language of the arbitration shall be English.
Notwithstanding the above clause, we may, at our sole option and election, and regardless of whether we are claimant or respondent, choose to submit the dispute to any court of competent jurisdiction. Once we choose to submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of that court to determine the dispute.
Before you commence any proceedings in relation to a dispute between us and you, you shall notify us in writing, by sending an email to legal-notices@Blank Tuna.sg. We shall then respond to you in writing via email, within 14 days of receiving your email, notifying you of whether we elect to refer the dispute to SIAC arbitration or to a court of competent jurisdiction. You agree to be bound by our election in the commencement of any proceedings against us.
Nothing in these Terms of Use shall stop or prevent either you or us from seeking urgent temporary relief, including any orders for injunctive relief and/or for specific performance, in a court of competent jurisdiction as may be reasonably required to preserve the rights of either party. Any such application for relief shall not be deemed to be a breach or waiver of the dispute resolution procedure under this paragraph.
To the extent permitted by law, either you or we must bring a claim under these Terms of Use within one (1) year after the cause of action arises and your failure to do so will extinguish the rights to bring the claim. Claims made under the separate Sale Terms are not subject to this limitation. No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses. However, the prevailing party in legal proceedings will be entitled to its costs and legal fees.
17. Other important terms
Unless stated otherwise, these Terms of Use set out all of the terms and conditions agreed upon between us as to your access and/or use of the Site and supersedes and extinguishes all previous proposals, agreements, representations and undertakings between us, whether written or oral, relating to this subject matter.
In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Use, the Sale Terms and the Privacy Notice, the Sale Terms shall prevail.
Each of the paragraphs of these Terms of Use operates separately. If one or more of these terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a competent authority, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable and the remaining terms shall continue to be valid and enforceable.
If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms of Use, or if we delay enforcing our rights, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you. You must continue to perform your obligations even under these circumstances and we will be entitled to exercise our rights and remedies at a later stage. Any waiver by us will only be done expressly in writing. Any waiver by us of your breach does not mean that we will automatically waive another breach by you.
