ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
* It is important that you read this as this affects your legal rights.
- Arbitration
You agree that all disputes between you and us (whether or not such dispute involves a third-party) with regard to your relationship with us, including without limitation disputes related to this Terms of Use, your use of the services, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the Malaysian arbitration association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and you and we hereby expressly waive trial by jury. Discovery and rights to appeal in arbitration are generally more limited than in a lawsuit, and other rights that you and we would have in court may not be available in arbitration. Neither you nor we will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate. You are giving up your right to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim you may have against us including any right to class arbitration or any consolidation of individual arbitrations. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event the Malaysian Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either we or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with this Terms of Use. - Severability
If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Malaysia, including its conflicts of law rules. Without waiving the foregoing arbitration clause, you agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Terms of Use shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and Federal courts of Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, except where the jurisdiction and venue are mandated by applicable law.
Modification
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or replace any part of this Terms of Use, or change, suspend, or discontinue the Services (including without limitation, the availability of any feature, database, or content) at any time by posting a notice on the Site or by sending you notice through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. While we will timely provide notice of modifications, it is also your responsibility to check this Terms of Use periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services following notification of any changes to this Terms of Use constitutes acceptance of those changes.
MISCELLANEOUS
Entire Agreement and Severability
This Terms of Use is the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Services, including use of the Site, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us with respect to the Services. If any provision of this Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.

Agency
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of this Terms of Use and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.

Electronic notices should be sent to enquiry@passionation.co.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any part of this Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of this Terms of Use. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that we will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance with this Terms of Use to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.
