it can never be a comprehensive filter. Also, we reserve the

action, including but not limited to the right to terminate

h. We may terminate your usership or Account at any time for
any reason without any further formality if we have reason to
believe that you have failed to comply with this Agreement. If
your Account is so terminated, you will not be permitted to

decide to terminate your usership or Account, please contact
our support service, and we may terminate it as soon as
reasonably practical after receiving your termination request.

World)
THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ALL CONSUMERS AND PERSONS WHO ACCEPTED

Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights,
including your right to file a lawsuit in court.
a. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed under the laws of Singapore excluding its conflict
of law principles.
b. Binding Individual Arbitration. You agree and acknowledge
that any claims or legal actions between you and
StarBeautyGame shall be referred to Singapore International
Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") for arbitration which shall be
conducted in accordance with SIAC’s arbitration rules. The
arbitral award is final and binding upon both parties. If the
above arbitration terms are not enforceable on any dispute,
both parties agree that such dispute shall be brought in a
court in Singapore. You hereby consent to and waive all
defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and/or forum non
conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction, whether by
arbitration or judicial judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party retains the right
to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of
competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened
infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other
intellectual property rights (an "Intellectual Property
Action"), and each party reserves the right to bring an
action in any court of competent jurisdiction to stop and/or
seek compensation for the intentional or willful misuse or
abuse (e.g. hacking or falsifying location) of their
intellectual property.
c. Informal Resolution. You agree that in the event of any
dispute, StarBeautyGame and you shall first attempt to resolve
any such dispute informally for a period no less than thirty
(30) calendar days before initiating arbitration proceedings.
The informal dispute resolution process shall be deemed to
have begun upon the receipt of written notice from one party
to the other ("Written Notice of Dispute"). The Written Notice
of Dispute must include the full name and contact information
of the complainant, describe the nature and basis of the
dispute, and set for the relief sought. The Written Notice of
Dispute shall be sent to genshin_notice@Star Beauty World.com.
In the event that any such dispute cannot be resolved
informally, you agree that the dispute, including any
question regarding the arbitrability of the dispute, shall
be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration
in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 19 above.
d. Class Action Waiver. You agree that each party may only
bring claims against the other solely in their individual
capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any
purported class or representative proceeding in any
jurisdiction. Furthermore, if the parties' dispute is resolved
through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate
another person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise
preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then
this clause 19(d) shall be null and void.
19A. Dispute Resolution (United States of America)
THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ALL CONSUMERS AND PERSONS WHO ARE
RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Please read this
section carefully. It affects your rights, including your
right to file a lawsuit in court.
Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution procedure
that allows us to resolve issues without the formality of
going to court. By accepting this Agreement, including the
Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
provisions below, you agree that any dispute between you and
StarBeautyGame will be submitted to a neutral arbitrator for a
binding decision, and you waive your right or opportunity to
bring claims in court before a judge or jury, and/or to
participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by
others (including class actions or representative actions).
You have the right to opt-out of this Dispute Resolution
provision, as explained below, which means you would retain
your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before
a judge or a jury.
For the purposes of this Agreement, including this Dispute
Resolution provision specifically, "Dispute" means any
dispute, claim or controversy between you and StarBeautyGame
regarding any aspect of your relationship with StarBeautyGame,
including those arising out of this Agreement or otherwise
based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort
(including but not limited to fraud, misrepresentation,
fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or
equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability,
and/or scope of this Disputes Resolution provision, except as
it applies to the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver
set forth below. "Dispute" is to be given the broadest
possible meaning that will be enforced.
a. Binding Individual Arbitration. If you live in the United
States of America, you and StarBeautyGame agree that, except
as provided in subsection (e) below ("Opt-Out"), any and all
Disputes, including their arbitrability, will be resolved
exclusively and finally by binding arbitration rather than in
a court, in accordance with this provision. You and
StarBeautyGame further agree that you are waiving your right
to a trial by jury or to a trial before a judge in a public
court. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree
that other rights you may have if you went to court, such as
the right to appeal and the right to obtain certain types of
discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration
Rules ("AAA Rules") and the governing law of the arbitration
shall be governed by the laws of the State of your residence.
Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall be conducted in
a confidential manner.
You or StarBeautyGame may initiate arbitration in the federal
judicial district that includes the address you provide in
your Written Notice of Dispute (defined below).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party retains the right to
seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of
competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened
infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other
intellectual property rights (an "Intellectual Property
Action"), and each party reserves the right to bring an action
in any court of competent jurisdiction to stop and/or seek
compensation for the intentional or willful misuse or abuse
(e.g. hacking or falsifying location) of their intellectual
property.
b. Informal Resolution. You agree that in the event of any
Dispute, StarBeautyGame and you shall first attempt to resolve
any such Dispute informally for a period no less than thirty
(30) calendar days before initiating arbitration proceedings.
The informal Dispute resolution process shall be deemed to
have begun upon the receipt of written notice from one party
to the other ("Written Notice of Dispute"). The Written Notice
of Dispute must include the full name and contact information
of the complainant, describe the nature and basis of the
Dispute, and set for the relief sought. The Written Notice of
Dispute shall be sent to StarBeautyGame PTE. LTD.
In the event that any such Dispute cannot be resolved
informally, you agree that the Dispute, including any question
regarding the arbitrability of the Dispute, shall be finally
and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration in accordance
with subsection (a) of Section 19A above.
c. Class Action Waiver. You agree that each party may only
bring claims against the other solely in their individual
capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any
purported class or representative proceeding in any
jurisdiction. Further, if the parties' Dispute is resolved
through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate more
than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over
any form of a representative or class proceeding, including
but not limited to a class action, consolidated action, or
private attorney general action, unless both StarBeautyGame
and you specifically agree in writing to do so following
initiation of the arbitration. All claims and Disputes within
the scope of this individual arbitration agreement must be
arbitrated or litigated on an individual class basis. Claims
of more than one customer or User cannot be arbitrated or
litigated jointly or consolidated with those of any other
customer or User. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, this Dispute Resolution provision, or the AAA
Rules, Disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability,
or enforceability of this waiver may be resolved only by a
court and not by an arbitrator. This specific provision is
found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute
Resolution Provision contained in Section 19A shall be null
and void.
d. Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in
this Dispute Resolution provision may be waived by the party
against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive
or affect any other portion of this Agreement.
e. Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt-out.
Notwithstanding the above, you and StarBeautyGame may opt out
of the arbitration procedures described above. If you do so,
neither you nor StarBeautyGame can force the other to
arbitrate.
You or StarBeautyGame may opt out of these arbitration
procedures and pursue a Dispute in court and not by
arbitration if (i) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated
in small claims court; or (ii) YOU PROVIDE StarBeautyGame
WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DESIRE TO OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION
PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT
TO THIS AGREEMENT (the "Arbitration Opt-Out Notice"). The
Arbitration Opt-Out Notice must include your name and address,
your in-game username and the email address you used to set up
your in-game account (if you have one), and an unequivocal
statement that you wish not to resolve Disputes with
StarBeautyGame through arbitration. You must mail your opt-out
notice to StarBeautyGame PTE. LTD.. If you do not provide
StarBeautyGame with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within 30
days from the date that you first consent to this Agreement,
you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived
your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set
forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
f. Continuation. This Dispute Resolution provision shall
survive the termination of your Account (if applicable),
and/or your access to or use of the StarBeautyGame Services,
and/or your relationship with StarBeautyGame.
