Cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements

This Site may contain statements, estimates or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined under applicable laws. Any such forward looking statements are inherently speculative and are based on currently available information, operating plans and projections about future events and trends.

Office Blocks undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Subject to the paragraph (Dispute Resolution) below, the Singapore courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising from, or related to, a visit to the Site although we retain the right to bring proceedings against you for breach of these conditions in your country of residence or any other relevant country. These Terms of Use are governed by Singapore law.

Dispute resolution

Any dispute arising with Office Blocks under or in relation to these Terms of Use shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore in accordance with the SIAC Rules for the time being in force which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this paragraph.

The language of the arbitration shall be English. Nothing in this paragraph prevents a party from seeking urgent or similar interim relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

General

If any portion of these Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, then that part shall be deemed severable and shall be construed in accordance with applicable law. Such a term will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Office Blocks’ failure to act with respect to a breach of these Terms of Use by you or others does not constitute a waiver and shall not limit Office Blocks’ rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches.
