Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The courts in some countries will not apply Hong-Kong law to consumers in those countries, or some types of terms and disputes. If you reside in one of those countries, then where Hong-Kong law is excluded from applying, your country’s laws will apply to these terms and any disputes related to them terms. Otherwise, you agree that the laws of Hong-Kong, China excluding Hong-Kong’s choice of law rules, will apply to these Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to them. Similarly, if the courts in your country will not permit you to consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Hon-Kong County, China, then your local jurisdiction and venue will apply to such disputes related to these terms. Otherwise, all claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the services will be litigated exclusively in Hong-Kong jurisdiction and you and SOUND FOR LIFE consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Notwithstanding this, SOUND FOR LIFE reserves the right to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
