By sending you our Acceptance of Appointment, we agree to act as your process agent and to accept service of proceedings on your behalf, where such proceedings are issued either (i) out of the courts of Singapore or any arbitral body in Singapore; or (ii) pursuant to any contract with a Singaporean counterparty, in either case in relation to the Transaction Documents (“Proceedings”).

As soon as reasonably practicable after accepting the service of any Proceedings on your behalf, we will notify you by email or fax (“Claim Notice”) and will include a copy of the relevant notice or claim form and particulars of a claim (or equivalent) (“Claim”). We will not include in that Claim Notice, any appendices or attachments to the Claim, or any other documents served on us alongside the Claim (“Other Documents”). Our Claim Notice will seek your instructions about how to deliver or transmit these Other Documents to you or to your agents.

We may request from you, copies of any one or more of the Transaction Documents at any time during the term of this Agreement.

These Fees must be received by Process Agent SG, in cleared funds and without deduction or set-off of any kind, before any obligation arises for Process Agent SG to perform any of the Services. If you are required by law to make any deduction or set-off, you will pay such additional amounts required to ensure that we receive, net of deductions, the full amount due to us. If we agree to provide the Services to you on an annual or other renewing basis, we reserve the right to increase our Fess upon renewal, without prior notice to you.

You expressly agree that upon termination of this Agreement as set out in these Standard Terms and Conditions: (i) no refund will become payable by us for any unexpired period of the Agreement; and (ii) we will not be liable for any consequences arising out of or in connection with the impact that such termination has on the contractual relationship between you and any counterparty of yours pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
