About these Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. You, as a user, agree to regularly and consistently read and review the Terms of the Services. We will post notices of updates or changes to these Terms on this page. Changes become effective immediately but will not apply retroactively. If you continue to use the Services after the new Terms have already become effective, then that would automatically indicate your explicit approval and acceptance to be bound by the new Terms. If in case you do not agree to the modified terms for our Services, you should immediately discontinue your use of our Services.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by these Terms. All rights granted to you are expressly defined by these Terms.
Should you fail to comply with any of these terms, our inability or failure to enforce any right or seek to remedy any breach or take action right away will not be construed as a waiver of such rights nor shall our actual waiver in one or more instances be construed as constituting a continuing waiver or as a waiver of any other breach.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms and Policy shall remain in full force and effect. Where possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law.

These Terms and all rules and Policies regarding the use of the Services shall be governed exclusively by the law of the Republic of the Philippines. If you reside in a country that will not allow Philippine law to apply to your disputes or will not permit you to consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts being Makati City, Philippines, then you may not use these Services and you should stop using the Services immediately.
