    • your disclosure of any personal data to us relating to individuals other than yourself was or will be made in accordance with all applicable data protection and data privacy laws, and those data are accurate, up to date and relevant when disclosed;

    • before providing such personal data to us, you have read and understood our Privacy Policy and, in case of personal data relating to an individual other than yourself, you have (or will at the time of disclosure) provided a copy of that Privacy Policy (as amended from time to time) to that individual; and

    We may at any time process and transfer any and all of the personal data relating to you and/or personal data provided by you relating to an individual other than yourself to any of our affiliates and/or subsidiaries.

    We will manage any personal data collected through the website in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

     

    Communications:
     
    Communications over the internet and/or through our Website may be subject to interruption, transmission blackout, delayed transmission due to internet traffic, or incorrect data transmission due to the public nature of the internet. You are advised to exercise with caution and confirm any relevant details/communications by other means should you have any doubt about the accuracy of this communication.
     
    Any communications with us or our officers, representatives or agents may be recorded and retained, subject to applicable law, relevant policies and the terms of any applicable written agreement.


    For contractual purposes, you consent: 

    (a)    to receive communications from us in an electronic form via the last email address you have submitted to us; and 
    (b)    that any terms and conditions, agreements, policies, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were in writing.  
     
    Notice will be deemed given 24 hours after the relevant email is sent to the last email address you provided to us or notice is posted on this Website. 

    Compliance with Laws and Regulations:
     
    You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations relating to services you use through our Website, including without limitation to the reporting of any transactions, and the calculation and payment of all applicable taxes within any relevant jurisdiction.

    Assignment:

    You shall not assign or delegate these Terms and any rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party without Fusang’s prior written consent. Any assignment or delegation without the prior written consent of Fusang shall be null and void. 

    Fusang may assign these Terms and any rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party without your consent at any time at its sole discretion. 

    Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall continue to be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns. 
     
    Force Majeure: 

    In addition to applicable disclaimer set above, Fusang will not be liable for any delay and/or interruption resulting from conditions beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to any act of God, storm, earthquake, fire, typhoon, flood, war, explosion, act of any government, civil disorder, power failure, equipment failure, failure of any communication method, act of terrorism, labour dispute, cyber-attack and denial-of-service attack. 


    Governing Law:
      
    These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong.

     

    Submission to Arbitration:
     
    Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including but not limited to the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to these Terms, will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted and the same shall be finally settled by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be in Hong Kong and the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The decision of the arbitrator and any award granted by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, save for manifest error. The reference of any dispute to arbitration in accordance with this clause shall not excuse the parties from continuing with the performance of any other obligations under these Terms which are not affected by the dispute. Nothing in this clause shall prevent a party from seeking urgent equitable relief before an appropriate court in Hong Kong.

    Severability:
     
    If any of these Terms are determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, to the extent and within the jurisdiction in which that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it will be severed and deleted from these Terms and the remaining terms will survive, remain in full force and continue to be binding and enforceable.


    Waiver:

    If a party waives any right under these Terms, it must be done in writing. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. A waiver of a breach of a term in these Terms does not operate as a waiver of another breach of the same term or any other term. 

    Language:
     
    In the case of a discrepancy between the English version and any other language version in respect of these Terms or our Website, the English version prevails.
