DIGITAL PLATFORM TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Welcome to Fanzat, the online marketplace platform which connects celebrities with their fans through personalized videos. Before you start enjoying our platform we have to set out the rules which will govern Fanzat’ relationship with you. We have done our best to make them as easy to understand as possible but if you have any questions at all, feel free to contact us at support@fanzat.co.bh
THESE TERMS
These Terms govern your relationship with us when you access our Platform, so please make sure to read them carefully before you start accessing the Platform. Once you start using our Platform you are taken to have understood and accepted these Terms. These Terms will form a binding agreement between you and us so if you have any questions, please let us know.
At Fanzat, you are either a Celebrity, Talent or an Organization looking to purchase a personalised video directly from a celebrity, or a related service which we make available via the Platform (the Customer) or you are a celebrity providing personalised videos to Customers (the Talent). If we are talking about Customers and Talent together, we will refer to you collectively in these Terms as Users. When we talk about you as a Customer, you are a customer of the Talent, and so when you make a purchase on Fanzat, you are transacting directly with the Talent rather than with Fanzat. Fanzat is a marketplace product and so acts as an intermediary between Customers and Talent.
We refer to all videos purchased and provided using our Platform as Fanzat Videos. Certain Fanzat Videos may also be Fanzat Marketing Videos, which are separately subject to the Fanzat Marketing Videos section of these Terms.
User term and conditions
The user acknowledges and agrees that the application may increase the prices of the services provided by the talents through the application, and that this increase is due to the application as its profit. The user also acknowledges and agrees that the application may change this percentage by increasing or decreasing it from time to time,and that the user agrees to such increases without the need for subsequent acceptance.
The user acknowledges and understands that the terms and conditions mentioned in this agreement may change from time to time, and the user acknowledges their agreement to such changes and their commitment to what is stated therein, without the need for subsequent acceptance.
OTHER APPLICABLE TERMS
These Terms also include our Privacy Policy (the Privacy Policy). You should read the Privacy Policy as it sets out the terms on which we process (collect, use, share, etc.) any personal data we collect from you or that you provide to us and how we will communicate with you via the Platform.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may from time to time amend these Terms to ensure that we remain compliant with relevant laws and regulations or to keep up to date with improvements or changes we might make to the services and experiences we can offer to you via our Platform. If we make significant changes to these Terms or to the services within the Platform, we will let you know what these significant changes are and you may contact us at support@fanzat.co.bh if you have queries regarding these significant changes.
We don't expect you to check these Terms every time you use our Platform but equally, we don't want to bombard you with every little update. We just ask that you check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we have made. This is important because by continuing to use any of the Platform after changes are made, you are accepting those changes and will be bound by them.
THE PLATFORM
Our Platform is structured so that you are able to access it via any compatible device of your choosing, whether on desktop, mobile or tablet.
When you reach our Platform, you can use it in the following ways:
• to create a personal account and upload information to your profile;
• as a Customer, to search for and make requests to Talent for Fanzat Video(s) in accordance with these terms and the booking instructions set out on the Platform (Requests);
• as Talent, to accept or refuse requests for Fanzat Videos, and if accepted, to provide Fanzat Videos when once they have been purchased by the relevant Customer in accordance with these terms and the instructions set out on the Platform;
• send direct messages to other Users;
• view and engage with Content (which means any audio, video (including without limitation, Fanzat Videos and pre-recorded or promotional versions of Fanzat Videos), text, images, trademarks, logos or other content which may be made available to you by us and may sometimes include content which is owned or controlled by third parties which we are permitted to make available to you);
• receive notifications via push notifications, emails, SMS and when using the Platform. These messages may include information about your account, Content, our community, new publicly available pre-recorded Fanzat Videos and general product information. You can control your preferences from your settings or by communicating with us directly if changes using your settings are unavailable;
• subscribe to our mailing list(s);
• connect to third party sites linked on our Platform;
• purchase merchandise when made available;
• click on links to our social media channels, such as on Facebook and Instagram;
• access customer support from our support team; and
• access our legal and data protection policies.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information on how we process your personal data.
The list above is not necessarily a complete list of the functions of the Platform and we may decide to offer additional functions, or stop providing any Platform functions, at any time.
TALENT VETTING: QUALITY CHECKS
In order to ensure that Talent are suitable for the Platform, Talent may be subject to a quality vetting process before they are accepted onto the Platform (Quality Checks). We will conduct Quality Checks as we deem appropriate, in accordance with the Fanzat Privacy Policy and applicable laws. We retain full and sole discretion as to whether Talent is accepted on to the Platform or not. You agree that you will have no claim or action against us, if we choose not to accept you as Talent on to the Platform, whether as a result of Quality Checks or otherwise. We cannot always provide reasons for not accepting Talent, although we will make efforts to do so where we feel it would be fair or appropriate
OUR ROLE AS A MARKETPLACE PLATFORM
Our Platform exists principally as a marketplace to enable Customers to purchase Fanzat Videos from Talent. We are an intermediary, facilitating transactions between our Users, and we take a commission of 25% from sales made by Talent to Customers on our Platform (Commission). We reserve the right to charge a Trust & support fee, which may be subject to change, for the provision of our Services. You will be notified of any applicable Trust & support fee and taxes prior to purchase on the checkout page on our Application. We display Talent profiles to Customers, who can browse purchasing opportunities on the Platform and make Requests to Talent, and ultimately make purchases.
However, once a Request between a Customer and Talent is made and a booking process is initiated, our involvement is limited to our obligations as set out in these Terms and anything beyond these obligations is beyond our reasonable control. When a Customer makes an advanced purchase of a Fanzat Video with Talent, both parties acknowledge that they form a contract between them which Fanzat is not a party to. Fanzat cannot guarantee the performance by Talent of its obligations to provide a Fanzat Video, or that the Fanzat Video will conform to the Customer’s preferences when the Request was sent. Fanzat holds no liability to Users beyond what is stated in these Terms.
Equally, we will use our reasonable efforts to mediate resolutions to legitimate issues when they arise – for example if a Customer has paid for a Fanzat Video, but the Talent has not delivered it within agreed timeframes. Procedures for complaints and refunds are clearly set out in these Terms. If Users wish to make claims of any nature or any form of claim beyond the remit of the Fanzat complaints system, then any such claim must be made off the Platform with the relevant competent authorities. Fanzat is not and will not be at any time a party to the contract between a Customer and Talent that is concluded via the Platform (for example where a Request for a Fanzat Video is made by a User and accepted by Talent) or otherwise executed directly between Talent and a Customer during or after their use of the Platform.

We may remove any User from our Platform at any time if we determine such removal is necessary.

By registering with us, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by our registration form, as well as any other information which we reasonably request (collectively, Registration Information), and maintain and promptly update the Registration Information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.

However, we may enter into commercial arrangements with management companies, managers, agencies, agents, PR managers, or other individuals or organisations working with or on behalf of Talent (each, an Organisation) to arrange for the Talent which they work with or represent (Represented Talent) to register on the Platform. Any such arrangements, including revenue share arrangements, will be subject to separate commercial terms, but any subsequent registrations with us by Represented Talent must abide at all times by these Terms. All Talent agree that no other commercial arrangements in place will reduce or negate their responsibilities and obligations under these Terms.
If you are an Organisation that would like your Represented Talent to register with us, please contact support@Fanzat.co.bh
FANZAT VIDEOS
Customers may make Requests to Talent for Fanzat Videos using our Platform
Fanzat Video Rights and Ownership
Talent owns each Fanzat Video created and provided to Customers through Fanzat, and is entirely responsible for its content. Once created via the Fanzat dashboard, the Fanzat watermark will appear on all video content on the Platform, and Talent may not remove the Fanzat watermark from the file uploaded and delivered through our Platform.
Once a Fanzat Video has been delivered to a Customer, the Customer has a limited licence to watch, use and share the video. Generally, Customers may view, access and share Fanzat Videos or other Content solely for their own personal, non-commercial, and non-promotional purposes, subject to these Terms. Customers may never sell, re-sell, or encumber the rights in any Fanzat Video. Customers may and are encouraged to share Fanzat Videos on social media platforms or send them to people by private messages for personal, non-commercial, and non-promotional purposes as set forth above, again, subject to these Terms and in particular the Fanzat Marketing Videos section. Customers are not permitted to edit any Fanzat Videos, and may never remove the Fanzat watermark from them.
Talent grants Fanzat a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable licence (Licence) to freely use, reproduce, distribute and display each Fanzat Video for marketing and promotion of its business, including without limitation on its social media or other marketing or other commercial channels existing from time to time. Any arrangement relating to resale or further commercialisation by us of Fanzat’ Videos owned by Talent and licenced to Fanzat will require explicit written consent of the Talent and a separate legal agreement. However, it will be at Fanzat’ sole discretion if, where and/or for how long a Fanzat Video features on the Platform. For the avoidance of doubt, this Licence includes an equivalent licence of the Talent’s image as shown in the Fanzat Video for the sole purposes of using, reproducing, distributing and displaying the applicable Fanzat Videos in the manner intended by the above licence. This Licence continues perpetually including after the applicable Talent is no longer registered on the Platform, and once a Fanzat Video has been posted, we will not be required to seek Talent’s further prior consent to use it in accordance with the Licence granted. We may use clipped parts of Fanzat Videos for the purposes of creating montages or similar promotional materials for Fanzat, so long as those clipped parts do not distort or misrepresent the message being conveyed by the Talent.
In all cases, all Users may use a Fanzat Video only in accordance with these Terms. We may terminate all or part of the foregoing licenses at any time for any reason. We reserve the right to remove a Fanzat Video from our Platform at any time for any reason without any notice to you.
Other than Fanzat Videos, we unreservedly own the intellectual property rights in all other aspects of the Content and of the Platform generally.
Fanzat Video Format
Each Fanzat Video should follow the general directions and requests set out by the Customer in their Request (for example, ‘birthday message’, ‘get well soon’, ‘good luck’ and so on).
Talent will have sole discretion over the script and content of any Fanzat Video, except that as Talent, you agree: (i) you will use your name (please introduce yourself), the Customer’s name, and the name of any third party that the Customer identifies as a recipient (Recipient) in each Fanzat Video (if applicable), unless otherwise requested by the Customer; and (ii) you will not state in the Fanzat Video that the Fanzat Video is incomplete or cannot be completed. As Talent, your response to the Customer’s request is your responsibility and at your discretion, subject to these Terms. However, Customers are usually happiest when at least the majority of their request is followed by Talent, and where none of the content of the Request is adhered to, the User may have a right to claim a refund from you. If you complete a Fanzat Video but do not follow the general directions and requests of the Customer, we will discuss an appropriate solution with you, which may include re-doing the Fanzat Video or refunding all or part of the sums paid for it.
Remedies
Talent’s contractual relationship in respect of each Fanzat Video is with the Customer, but each of the Talent and the Customer hereby appoints Fanzat to adjudicate on any disagreement and rule on what next steps should be (provided the disagreement is not suitable for referral to external legal authorities). Both Talent and Customers agree that such adjudication will be final and contractually binding.
Fanzat do not vet or verify Fanzat Videos once they have been created and uploaded by Talent. Once a Talent uploads a Fanzat Video, it is delivered straight to the Customer. As a marketplace, we are not able to moderate content in real time, but please refer to our complaints procedure if applicable.
Please note that the general principle in the vast majority of cases is that payments made when making requests are non-refundable, and not subject to any remedy if a Customer for any reason feels disappointed with the Fanzat Video which has been delivered. A Customer complaint is only valid where they can identify that there has been a material breach of these Terms in the delivery of the Fanzat Video. Customers accept that Talent retains full discretion as to the manner in which they deliver content.
Where upon investigating we determine that a refund would be an appropriate remedy, we will require that the Talent processes the refund to the Customer, which will also include any Commission to be taken by Fanzat. All Talent agree that they will be required to abide by our instructions following any such adjudication, and any failure to do so will be a material breach of these terms. Notices in such complaints and adjudication processes will be sent by email.
Please refer to the section entitled ‘Interaction and Reporting’ for more information
FANZAT MARKETING VIDEOS
Fanzat grants Talent the right and option to offer Fanzat Videos to Customers for marketing or general commercial purposes (Fanzat Marketing Videos). Fanzat Marketing Videos are still Fanzat Videos for the purpose of these Terms, including without limitation in respect of Commissions due to Fanzat and cancellations, except that this section provides certain exceptions to enable Fanzat Marketing Videos to be used for specific commercial purposes.
Businesses or Organisations purchasing Fanzat Marketing Videos
Fanzat Marketing Videos may be purchased on Fanzat from Talent by Customers who are businesses (whether through a sole trader or registered company) or who are other non-individual organisations to use for the marketing or other commercial furtherance of its brand or cause (each a Brand). Any such purchase by a Brand is subject to each individual Talent’s discretion as to (a) whether to offer Fanzat Marketing Videos, and (b) whether to accept the request from the specific Organisation for the specific Fanzat Marketing Video.
Each Brand submitting a Request for a Fanzat Marketing Video must provide the information set out on the Platform to successfully submit the Request. This may include, without limitation, the Brand name, the type of goods and/or services offered by the Brand, and any specific products and/or services which the Brand wants the Talent to mention. Each Brand or Customer operating a Brand agree to further respond to any queries relating to the Brand from Fanzat and/or Talent and only provide accurate, truthful information in doing so. Each Brand acknowledges that failure to do so may result in financial liability in damages or injunctive relief in favour of the applicable Talent and/or Fanzat.
Talent Process for Fanzat Marketing Videos
Once a Customer submits a Request for a Fanzat Marketing Video in accordance with these Terms, a member of the Fanzat team will pass on the Request to the individual specified by the Talent within the Talent Dashboard (which may be the Talent themselves or an agent or representative). The relevant individual may then negotiate the specific terms with the Customer by email, and Talent agrees and undertakes to copy (or to instruct representatives to copy) Fanzat in all such correspondence. Once terms have been agreed between the Talent and Customer, we will create a custom order on the Platform reflecting the agreed pricing and video instructions, after which the Customer will be required to complete the order by making the agreed payment through the Platform. The Talent will then be required to follow the same acceptance process through the Platform as set out in these Terms. All Fanzat Videos terms apply equally to Fanzat Marketing Videos, and all Commission which is due to Fanzat will be deducted before final payment is released to the Talent.
Rights over Fanzat Marketing Videos
Subject to full payment for the Fanzat Marketing Video via the Platform, the Talent grants to you, a non-exclusive, commercial, worldwide, revocable, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, distribute, and publicly share, display and promote the Fanzat Marketing Video on your Brand’s wholly-owned website(s) and social media accounts, for the sole purpose of marketing the Fanzat Marketing Video for your Brand’s reasonable and good faith commercial purposes. Such licence shall last for a period of 90 days from the date you receive the Fanzat Marketing Video or such longer period as is consented to and agreed by the Talent and Fanzat.
Customers and Brands are not entitled to use or publish edited versions of Fanzat Marketing Videos without the explicit written consent of the applicable Talent.
Customers and Brands are not entitled to sublicense all such rights without the explicit consent of the applicable Talent and Fanzat, including without limitation to commercial partners, news websites and subsidiaries of the applicable Brand.

• all information provided to Talent and/or Fanzat in making a Request for a Fanzat Marketing Video or otherwise is truthful and accurate in all respects;
• no material information which may reasonably impact Talent’s decision as to whether or not to accept a Request has been provided (including without limitation relating to political or religious aspects or leanings of the Brand, ongoing public disputes, reason(s) why a particular Talent is suitable, or target audience of the particular message);
• you and your Brand will comply with all applicable rules and laws, including but not limited to the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing;
• you and your Brand will not to act in a way that is misleading, harmful and/or offensive in any way;
• on and outside the Platform, you will always make clear upfront that the content of any Fanzat Marketing Video which you share or promote is advertising in accordance with UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing, and the rules of all applicable social media platforms where you share or promote the Fanzat Marketing Video(s); and
• you and your Brand will comply with the rules of the Advertising Standards Authority in respect of all exploitation of your Fanzat Marketing Video licence;
• you have all rights and legal authority required on behalf of the Brand to agree to these Terms on behalf of the Brand, to make a Request and corresponding payment(s) for Fanzat Marketing Video(s), including all rights to use the Brand’s intellectual property rights (such as trade marks and copyrights) in Fanzat Marketing Videos.
Please contact as us support@Fanzat.co.bh for any queries relating to Fanzat Marketing Videos, including where you would like to extend the term of a licence, or make edits to a Fanzat Marketing Video. As with all Fanzat Videos, Fanzat is not responsible and does not control the content, message or any aspect of Fanzat Marketing Videos and is an intermediary only in the relevant transaction.
REQUESTS, PAYMENTS AND DELIVERY
Requests and Delivery Process
Customers can make Requests to Talent for Fanzat Videos using the Platform. Requests can be made by each Talent’s profile page on the Platform.
When making a Request, the Customer is prompted to provide certain additional information, asking the Talent to tailor the Fanzat Video for them, or for their nominated Recipient. The Talent will only be aware of and be able to view what you have clearly requested at this point in the process, and a Request will not be editable after it has been submitted. Provisional payment is made at the point that the Request is made via Stripe, subject to the Talent delivering the Fanzat Video to the Customer within the times specified in these Terms.
Once a Request has been made, the Talent will have up to seven days (or such other time as we specify from time to time, including where we adjust this time on a case by case basis) to accept and fulfil the Request, or refuse it (the Request Period). If the Fanzat Video is not sent to the Customer within the Request Period, the order is automatically cancelled and the payment will not be processed, and the payment amount will be returned to the Customer. The payment will only be irrevocably charged to the Customer once the Talent has sent the Fanzat Video to the Customer. Once a Request has expired, it can no longer be fulfilled. The Customer may choose to re-submit it at its discretion though.
Fanzat may, if it deems it appropriate or necessary, cancel or remove a Request before the expiry of the Request Period, if for example we determine the Request to contain inappropriate or offensive content. Any User uploading anything which could in any way be determined to be offensive or inappropriate may be removed and banned from using the Platform at our discretion, and in certain circumstances may be referred to criminal authorities.
Once a Fanzat Video has been delivered, payment is released automatically to the Talent’s nominated bank account in accordance with Stripe’s standard conditions on payment processing and delivery, less all Commission or other sums due to Fanzat as communicated on the Platform.
Please note that if an individual Talent refuses more than 5 requests, then we reserve the right to remove the Talent from the Platform, or to make such enquiries as we deem necessary to help reduce the number of refusals by that individual Talent.
Users agree that they will act at all times in good faith towards Fanzat, and not attempt to circumvent Fanzat at any point during the booking process. We reserve the right at all times to: (1) suspend or delete a User’s account; (2) make note of the User’s actions on the User’s profile on the Platform in a manner we deem appropriate, and/or (3) take any other action as we deem appropriate in the circumstances.
Payments Information
All payments will be made via Stripe, our third-party payment collection agent (the Payment Service). You may use all major debit and credit cards or PayPal on the Payment Service. Please note that other than operating the interface in which payments are made, we do not and cannot control the operations of the Payment Service’s processing tools. You agree that all payments made on the Platform will be made via the Payment Service. Offline, cash or any other payments made not using the Payment Service are strictly prohibited and may result in your removal from the Platform.
Please note also that timings for actual distribution of payment from the Payment Service from and to Customers and Talent respectively will depend entirely on the policy and operations of the Payment Service and you should also refer to their terms and conditions before transacting on the Fanzat platform.
Customers must be legally authorised to make payments with your selected payment method. Where you believe an unauthorised payment has been made, please immediately contact your bank or other relevant authority and report this (although we cannot guarantee that your bank or other relevant authority will investigate). We will not deal with reports of unauthorised payments directly.
Charities
Talent may specify that their Fanzat Video fee will be directed to a charity of their choosing. Fanzat is not responsible for verifying the particular charity or that the funds ultimately are sent to the charity. This is the Talent’s obligation and the Talent will be subject to all applicable charities laws
TALENT OBLIGATIONS
As Talent, you agree and undertake that you will:
• use your best efforts to respond to Requests (positively or negatively) and only refuse Requests when you have a reasonable justification for doing so;
• aim to respond to all Requests within 24 hours, but within no later than 6 days;
• create Fanzat Videos in line with the specific packages chosen by the Customer, following the Customer’s general directions, but always at your sole discretion (other than introducing your own name, the Customer’s name and any other requested third party);
• not endorse or promote third party products or businesses in Fanzat Videos;
• set your own fees for Fanzat Videos to be listed on your profile page on the Platform;

PROMOTIONAL CODES AND REFERRALS

Fanzat reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a promotional code by you or any other User if we believe that the use or redemption of a promotional code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the terms of the promotional code or of these Terms.
Further, we may also operate referral programmes which allow you and/or the person you refer to Fanzat to be granted a benefit, which may for example include credits, discounts, or other benefits which we communicate to you from time to time. Any referral programmes, whether for Talent or new Users generally will be subject always to these Terms, and our sole discretion to revoke or amend such programmes as we see fit. If you aim to use a referral programme to circumvent our systems, or be granted disproportionate benefits, then we reserve the right to remove or suspend you from the Platform at any time without notice.

This section sets out who owns what in terms of the Platform. It also sets out how we will treat any content that you provide to us, including Requests and Fanzat Videos (the User Content), and what your obligations are in relation to that User Content.
Subject always to Talent’s ownership of Fanzat Videos in accordance with these Terms, you agree that:
• the Platform and all material published on, in, or via them (including but not limited to the User Content) is owned, controlled and leased by or licensed to us perpetually;
• in respect of the User Content that you create, upload, send or post to us that:
● you retain the ownership rights in the User Content;
● you grant us a perpetual, royalty free, non-exclusive licence (including the right to grant sub-licences) to use, copy, distribute, reproduce and publish any and all User Content (including, without limitation, on our Website, on other websites, on physical products and in promotional and/or marketing material developed in each case whether developed by us or on our behalf);
● we may disclose your identity to any third party who claims that the User Content posted or uploaded by you defames them, constitutes a breach of their intellectual property rights or breaches their right to privacy; and
● you make your User Content available to us in the manner envisaged by these Terms without payment or other compensation to you, regardless of how we use the User Content.
You represent and warrant on an ongoing basis that you:
● are the owner or authorised licensee of all User Content;
● have all necessary rights (including, but not limited to, all intellectual property rights) and consents required to publish the User Content and to grant us the rights in the User Content as set out in these Terms;
● will not send us or post User Content that violates applicable law, regulations, these Terms or any other relevant Fanzat policy; and
● have all required permissions and consents from any third party whose personal information is included in any User Content.
INTERACTION AND REPORTING
Our Platform enables Users to interact directly with each other once the booking process has been initiated. From time to time we may additionally make available interactive services at various stages of the booking process. All Users acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for their own interactions on the Platform. Fanzat does not directly control or fully moderate User Content in real time at the time of upload, and Users should use the reporting mechanism below to ensure that any harmful User Content (including in Requests and Fanzat Videos) is identified and addressed as efficiently as possible. Users acknowledge that Fanzat is at all times entitled and permitted to monitor and view all Users’ interactions within the Platform, including in direct messages between two or more Users through direct messaging functions.
Reporting mechanism: If you see any User Content (including in Requests or Fanzat Videos) which appears on our Platform which you find offensive, abusive or in any way inappropriate then please notify us as soon as possible. You can report any offensive, abusive or inappropriate User Content or communication between Users to us via support@Fanzat.co.bh and request that any such User Content is removed or that the User communication is investigated. One of our team will then review your report and take any action we deem appropriate.
Where such complaint or report relates to a Fanzat Video which has already been delivered and for which payment has been released, Fanzat do not offer refunds as the transaction has taken place directly between Talent and the Customer.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
This section provides all of the extra terms that we have to tell you about.

None of the rights or obligations under these Terms are enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by a person who is not a party to these Terms.
Under these Terms, you are granted a licence only in respect of our Platform. Any payments made are in consideration for a licence to access our Platform. We retain ownership in the Platform at all times.
If we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that does not mean that we have waived our rights against you, and it does not mean that you are relieved of your obligations under these Terms. If we do waive a breach by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later breach by you.

Subject to any applicable law and consumer rights, these Terms are the full agreement between us and our Users.
These Terms are governed by English law and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
