1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Alliance Consultancy Services Pte Ltd ("we" and "us", as the case may be) provides the Service (as defined below) to you, subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us in our sole discretion from time to time without notice to you. You agree that your continued use of the Service after such update will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the updated TOS. In addition, when using Alliance Consultancy Services or third party services, you and us (or the relevant third party, where applicable) shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services which may be posted (whether by us or the relevant third party, if any) from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. 

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
We currently provide users with access to a collection of products and services (the "Service"). The Service (or parts of it) may be available via the World Wide Web, mobile telephone or communications services (such as SMS (Short Message Service)), and/or other Internet or telecommunications services or protocols (such as WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)) (collectively, the "Channels"). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new services, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that we assume no responsibility for the timeliness, currency, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the Service through the relevant Channel(s), either directly or through devices that access online and electronic content and/or services, and pay any fees associated with such access in accordance with the applicable payment terms. Such fees and payment terms may be changed from time to time, and such changes will be notified to you, whether by email or by notices or links to notices on the Service or by other appropriate means. You acknowledge that certain parts of the Service are available only via certain Channels. You also acknowledge that we are not responsible or liable in any way for your access to the Service or your use of any Channels.

In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to use the relevant Channel, including a computer and modem, mobile telephone or other appropriate access device, and you must pay any fees applicable to the use of such Channel. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the set-up, configuration or compatibility of the hardware, software and other equipment used by you for obtaining access to the Service by any Channel whatsoever. If any alteration in the whole or any part of Service requires changes in your hardware, software or other equipment, you must effect these changes at your own expense. We will inform you of any such alterations in the Service in advance, whether by email or by notices or links to notices on the Service or by other appropriate means.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no information presented in the Service or in connection with any products and services forming part of the Service shall be deemed as a binding offer by us or the relevant third party, but an invitation for you to place an order. In respect of contracts for our or any third party's products and services which are made available as part of the Service, these shall be deemed concluded when we or the relevant third party have accepted your order for the same or has provided you with the product or service pursuant to your order. 

3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

21. GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior understandings and agreements between you and us and any previous statements or representations from either party to the other party. The TOS do not apply to any affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software that does not or cannot reasonably be deemed to form part of the Service which may be provided to you by our licensors, suppliers, vendors, parent, holding, subsidiary or related companies, other affiliates or other third parties, which may be subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by that party. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent provided in Section 24, you and us are the only parties to the TOS. The TOS and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of Singapore without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore. Our failure 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 to construe such provision to the maximum extent permitted by law so as to render that provision valid and enforceable, and that the other provisions of the TOS shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
