exclusively in the Indian District Court for Ahmedabad or a state court located in Gujarat, and
you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all
such Disputes.

arbitration, which might arise between Sequel5 and you, without regard to conflict of law
provisions.

in the future, which will govern to the extent there is a conflict between our Terms and such
additional terms.

where such distribution or use would violate local law or would subject us to any regulations
in another country. We reserve the right to limit our Services in any country.

without our prior written consent. Nothing in our Terms will prevent us from complying with
the law. Except as contemplated herein, our Terms do not give any third-party beneficiary rights.
If we fail to enforce any of our Terms, it will not be considered a waiver. If any provision of

intellectual property rights (such as copyrights, trademarks, domains, logos, trade dress,
trade secrets, and patents). For clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing, those Disputes
relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and
