Entire Agreement: The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and Sing Tao and governs your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Sing Tao with respect to the Services.

Choice of Law and Forum. Sing Tao controls and operates its website from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The TOS and the relationship between you and Sing Tao shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and applicable federal laws of Canada without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Sing Tao agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario in the City of Toronto.

Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of Sing Tao to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
