Terms and conditions
Welcome to the Swopp.me (“swoppme”) website located at www.swopp.me (the “Site”). Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully because they govern your use of our Site and our online service accessible via our Site. We provide the services to individuals associated with (e.g., as an employee of) a customer of swoppme’s. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, and our services are collectively called the “Services.”

Changes to Terms or Services
We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion, including by promulgating specific policies or guidelines for use of the Services (“Specific Policies”), which will become part of these Terms. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or through other communications (including, as to Specific Policies, by reference in the documentation describing the proper use of the Services).

These Terms are concluded between you and swoppme, and not with App Provider, and that, as between Swoppme and the App Provider, swoppme, is solely responsible for the App. App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify App Provider and App Provider will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if applicable) and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure of an App to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of swoppme. App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, swoppme will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms. App Provider and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third party beneficiary thereof. You must also comply with all applicable third-party terms of service when using the App. You agree to comply with all Singapore and foreign export laws and regulations to ensure that neither the App nor any technical data related thereto nor any direct product thereof is exported or re-exported directly or indirectly in violation of, or used for any purposes prohibited by, such laws and regulations.

Dispute Resolution
Governing Law. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the Singapore without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and swoppme agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be in Singapore and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You acknowledge and agree that you and swoppme are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and swoppme otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
General Terms
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between swoppme and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between swoppme and you regarding the Services and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without swoppme’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Swoppme may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications provided by swoppme under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
Swoppme’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of swoppme. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
