 18.8.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): Sets out the procedure and deadline for opting out of arbitration (written notice within 30 days), establishes that the class action waiver applies regardless of arbitration opt-out, provides that parties who validly opt out submit to exclusive Singapore court jurisdiction, and includes a severability clause for invalid provisions.
