VIII. Governing law
These Terms & Conditions and any separate agreements whereby we provide you access to the Website shall be
governed and construed following the laws of Singapore without reference to any conflict of law rules.
You agree that you will not use the Website in any country or any manner prohibited by any applicable laws,
restrictions, or regulations.
IX. Arbitration clause and class action waiver – important – please review as this affects your legal rights
Arbitration Notice
You and Valider agree that if there is any dispute or claim arising from or related to our Website, these
Terms & Conditions, and/or the Privacy Policy it will be resolved by confidential binding arbitration in
Singapore, rather than in court, after first giving Notice of the Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party and
the opportunity to discuss resolution within thirty (30) days of such Notice. The Notice to the Company
should be sent to
support@valider.app.
This Notice must include a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting, and
the relief sought.
If you and Valider are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within thirty (30) days after
the Notice is sent, you or the Company may initiate arbitration proceedings. There is no judge or jury in
arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an
individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or
statutory damages) and must follow the provisions of these Terms & Conditions as a court would. YOU
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE
PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply and the American Arbitration Association
(AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be
governed by the AAA’s rules.
The arbitration shall be held in Singapore or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the
relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or
based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and us subject to the
arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an
in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and us unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims following the laws of Singapore, including
recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by applicable law. The
arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms & Conditions to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make
any change to this Section (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in
the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a proceeding against us before the
effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this Section, any such termination shall not
be effective until thirty (30) days after the version of the Terms & Conditions containing this Section is
posted to the websites, and shall not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a proceeding against us
before the effective date of termination.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND Valider AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING,
INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE
ARBITRATION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right
to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other
misuses of intellectual property rights.
Claims And Disputes Must Be Filed Within One Year
To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the effect of any disclaimer contained herein, any
cause of action or claim you may have concerning your use of the Website, including, without limitation, any
website or other Website-related product, services, or other content must be commenced within one (1) year
after the claim or cause of action arises. This section applies to you and your heirs, successors, and
assigns.
X. Severability
To the extent that any provision of these Terms & Conditions is deemed to be unlawful, void, or
unenforceable, including the binding arbitration clause and class action waiver, such provision shall
nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion
shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms & Conditions. Such determination shall not affect the validity
and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.
XI. Termination
These Terms & Conditions are effective until terminated. We may terminate this agreement at any time without
notice to you and may deny you access to our Website.
XII. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except to the extent arising from our gross negligence or
intentional misconduct, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, and our employees, contractors,
licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns, and employees, from any claim or demand,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these
Terms & Conditions or the documents they incorporate by reference or your violation of any law or rights of a
third party. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject
to indemnification by you, in which event you shall cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You
shall not settle any actions or claims on our behalf without our prior written consent.
XIII. No third-party beneficiaries
There are no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms & Conditions. We shall have the right to assign our
rights or delegate any of its responsibilities under these Terms & Conditions to an affiliate or in connection
with a merger, consolidation, or reorganization for the sale of substantially all of our assets.
XIV. Changes to these terms & conditions
We reserve the right to change, modify, or amend these Terms & Conditions at any time to reflect changes in
our practices and service offerings. If we modify our Terms & Conditions, such changes will be effective upon
posting. You must check our current Terms & Conditions for any changes. These Terms & Conditions may only be
modified in writing. Any ambiguities in the interpretation will not be construed against the drafter.
