These Terms are effective upon your Acceptance as set forth under Section 12.1 above and continue in effect until terminated.
12.2. Termination by Whalepod
Whalepod may terminate your right to use the Services at any time for (a) your violation or breach of these Terms; (b) your misuse or abuse of the Services; or (c) if allowing you to access and use the Services would violate any applicable local, state, national and other laws, rules and regulations or would expose Whalepod to legal liability. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you notice of any such termination. Further, you agree that Whalepod shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any such termination of your right to use or otherwise access the Services.
12.3. Termination by You
You may terminate your access to the Services and these Terms by requesting us to delete your account at contact@whalepod.xyz.

All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms shall survive (including, without limitation, all limitations on liability, releases, indemnification obligations, disclaimers of warranties, agreements to arbitrate, choices of law and judicial forum and intellectual property protections and licences).
13. IMPORTANT LEGAL TERMS GOVERNING ALL USE OF THE SERVICES
13.1. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Whalepod, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, co-branders, licensors, payment processing partners, other partners and employees, harmless from any and all damage (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise), loss, liability, cost and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accounting fees) resulting from any claim, demand, suit, proceeding (whether before an arbitrator, court, mediator or otherwise) or investigation made by any third party (each a “Claim”) due to or arising out of: (a) your breach of these Terms, including, without limitation the Terms of Use and any other part of these Terms; (b) your improper use of the Services; (c) your breach of any applicable local, state, national or other law, rule or regulation or the rights of any third party; this indemnification shall not apply to the extent that the Claim arises out of Whalepod’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Whalepod shall provide notice to you of any such Claim, provided that the failure or delay by Whalepod in providing such notice shall not limit your obligations hereunder except to the extent you are materially disadvantaged by such failure.
13.2. Disclaimer of Warranties
Whalepod provides our services using a commercially reasonable level of skill and care and we try to keep Whalepod up, bug-free and safe. But there are certain things that we don’t promise about our services and you use the services at your own risk. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Whalepod hereby expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement and fitness for a particular purpose. By way of example, Whalepod makes no warranty that (a) the services (or any portion of the services) will meet your requirements or expectations; (b) the services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; or (c) the results that may be obtained from the use of the services will be accurate or reliable. You acknowledge that Whalepod has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of consultations advertised, the truth or accuracy of any users’ content or the ability of any user to perform or actually complete a transaction and Whalepod is not affiliated with, and has no agency or employment relationship with, any third party service provider used in conjunction with the services, and Whalepod has no responsibility for, and hereby disclaims all liability arising from, the acts or omissions of any such third parties.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any condition, warranty, right or liability which may not be lawfully excluded or limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or conditions or the limitation or exclusion of liability for loss or damage caused by wilful acts, negligence, breach of contract or breach of implied terms, or incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, only those liability and other limitations which are lawful in your jurisdiction (if any) will apply to you and our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
13.3. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable laws, Whalepod, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, agents, co-branders, licensors, payment processing partners, other partners, employees and any applicable card schemes, shall not be liable under any circumstances or under any legal theory, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, with respect to the services, or any other subject matter of these Terms, including without limitation the terms of use and any other part of these Terms, for: (a) any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if Whalepod has been advised of the possibility of such damages), (b) the cost of procurement of substitute services, (c) any of your content (as defined in the terms) or any content of any other user of the services, or (d) any matters beyond Whalepod’s reasonable control.
13.4. Trademarks
The trademarks, service marks and logos of Whalepod (the “Whalepod Trademarks”) used and displayed in connection with the Services are registered and/or unregistered trademarks or service marks of Whalepod. Other company, product and service names used in connection with the Services may be trademarks or service marks owned by third parties (the “Third Party Trademarks,” and, collectively with Whalepod Trademarks, the “Trademarks”). The offering of the Services shall not be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any licence or right to use any Trademark displayed in connection with the Services without the prior written consent of Whalepod specific for each such use. The Trademarks may not be used to disparage Whalepod, any third party or such third party’s products or services, or in any manner that may damage any goodwill in the Trademarks. Use of any Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless Whalepod approves the establishment of such a link by prior written consent specific for each such link. All goodwill generated from the use of any Whalepod Trademark shall be attributable to Whalepod’s benefit.
13.5. Copyrights
The Content (as defined in the Terms of Use) of the Services is also protected by copyrights owned by Whalepod and/or third parties. Please note that if you copy portions of the Services, you are violating these copyrights.
13.6. Notices
Notices to you may be sent via either email or regular mail to the address in Whalepod’s records. The Services may also provide notices of changes to these Terms or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices to you generally on the Services. If you wish to contact Whalepod or deliver any notice, you can do so as follows:
Whalepod Pte. Ltd.
Address: 68 Circular Road #02-01, Singapore – 049422
Email: hello@whalepod.xyz
13.7. Entire Agreement
These Terms, including the Terms of Use and any other part of these Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Whalepod and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, discussions or communications between you and Whalepod on the subject matter hereof.
13.8. Choice of Law
Except as set forth in Section 14.9 below, these Terms and the provision of the Services to you are governed by the laws of the state of Singapore, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
13.9. Binding Arbitration (Only for users located in Singapore)
Please read this section carefully as it affects your rights. Any dispute or claim under these Terms or with respect to the services will be settled by binding arbitration and will take place on an individual basis only; class, consolidated or representative arbitrations and civil actions are not permitted once this section is effective.
(a) Contact us first: If you have a question or concern about the Services, please contact us first. Our customer support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern.
(b) Agreement to arbitrate: In the unlikely consultation that our customer support team is unable to resolve your concerns, we each hereby agree to resolve any and all disputes or claims under these Terms or with respect to the Services through binding arbitration, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction and only on an individual basis and not as part of any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding. Arbitration, which is often cheaper, faster and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief as a court. Binding arbitration is subject to very limited review. Only the arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section, and not any other court or agency, shall have the authority to resolve any dispute or claim relating to this Section, including, without limitation, the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of these Terms. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
(c) Scope of Agreement: This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: (i) all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (ii) all claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); and (iii) all claims that may arise after termination of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.
(d) Exceptions: Notwithstanding this Agreement to arbitrate, either party may (i) bring issues to the attention of national, state or local agencies, which may be able to seek relief on a party’s behalf, and (ii) bring suit in court to seek a preliminary injunction or other interim relief pending the outcome of the arbitration.
(e) No Class Actions: You and Whalepod agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, may not preside over any form of class, consolidated or representative proceeding and may only provide relief in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
(f) Notice of Dispute: A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Whalepod must be addressed to the address in Section 5.7 above (“Notice Address”). The Notice to you must be addressed to a mailing, home or payment address currently on record with Whalepod. If Whalepod has no records of such physical address, such notice may be delivered to your Whalepod account email address. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Whalepod and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Whalepod may commence an arbitration proceeding.
(g) Future Changes: Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Whalepod agree that if Whalepod makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) Whalepod will provide you with notice of such change and you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision as unmodified by such rejected change.
13.10. Waiver and Invalid Provisions
The failure or delay of Whalepod to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No oral waiver, amendment or modification shall be effective under any circumstance whatsoever. If any provision of these Terms is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavour to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
13.11. Judicial Forum
In the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, then any dispute or claim not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively by a high court located in Singapore. Both you and Whalepod agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and agree that such forum is convenient.
13.12. Titles
Any Section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
13.13. Violations
Please report any violations of these Terms by emailing us on hello@whalepod.xyz
13.14. Assignment
We may, without your consent or approval, freely assign these Terms and our rights and obligations under these Terms, whether to an affiliate or to another entity in connection with a corporate transaction or otherwise.
13.15. Relationship
No independent contractor, agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms.
