THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE FEES CHARGED BY TENCENT TO YOU AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND TENCENT.

The seat of the arbitration will be Singapore and the language will be English. All proceedings will be conﬁdential and there will be one arbitrator only.
(f) Waiver and Severability. The waiver by either party of any breach of these Terms does not waive any other breach. Neither party will be treated as having waived any rights by not exercising (or delaying the exercise of) any rights under these Terms. If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and eﬀect.
(g) No Third-Party Beneﬁciaries. These Terms are not intended to confer any beneﬁts on any third party except to the extent that it expressly states that it does. End Users are not third party beneﬁciaries to these Terms.
(h) Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Additional Terms are the ﬁnal and complete expression of all agreements between you and Tencent regarding their subject matter and supersede all prior oral and written agreements regarding these matters. The Additional Terms referred to in these Terms are incorporated by this reference. In the event of any conﬂict between the Terms and the Additional Terms, the inconsistency shall be resolved by giving preference to the following in the order that they are listed: (i) the Data Processing and Security Agreement (which shall govern with respect to processing of Personal Data as applicable to the relevant Services); (ii) these Terms; and (iii) the Additional Terms, provided, however, that the terms and conditions of the PRC Service Region Terms, the North America Terms, the EEA Consumer Terms, Germany Terms, South Korea Terms or other region-specific terms will govern with respect to the Services, if applicable. Tencent shall not be bound by any term which is different from, modifies or otherwise in addition to the terms of these Terms, unless modified in accordance with these Terms, or otherwise agreed in writing. Where applicable, if you enter into a separate service agreement with Tencent in respect of the Services, and where expressly provided by that service agreement, the terms of the service agreement shall prevail to the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of that service agreement and these Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that any terms and conditions in any customer-issued purchasing forms, request for proposal, vendor questionnaire or similar shall not apply and Tencent disclaims the same.   
(i) Modiﬁcation of these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Cookies Policy. Tencent may amend these Terms, including the Additional Terms, from time to time by posting updated versions to the Tencent Cloud site. Unless specifically provided in these Terms or the Additional Terms, or otherwise indicated by Tencent, the amended terms will take effect within 30 calendar days after they are posted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any changes relating to Tencent’s Services or product functionalities shall take effect immediately. Tencent will use reasonable eﬀorts to notify you of the changes, but you are responsible for periodically checking these Terms, including the Additional Terms, for any modiﬁcations.

Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the Rules in the county (or parish) of the address of your registration information. The arbitration tribunal will consist of three arbitrators to be appointed in accordance with the Rules. Arbitration will be conducted in English. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) YOU AND TENCENT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

TENCENT CLOUD SOUTH KOREA TERMS
To the extent you wish to receive Services under the Tencent Cloud Terms of Service (“Terms”) and the country specified in your registration information is South Korea, you shall be subject to the terms of these South Korea Terms, which prevail over the general Tencent Cloud Terms of Service in case of any conflict or inconsistency. Any terms used but not defined in these South Korea Terms have the meaning given to them in the Terms.
1. Eligibility
Section 2 concerning eligibility of Terms is hereby restated as follows:
You must be at least 19 years old to use the Services. By agreeing to these Terms (including South Korea Terms, hereinafter the same), you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 19 years old; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Services; and (c) your registration and your use of the Services is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2. Changes on Services or Fees
If Tencent changes the Services or Fees, Tencent will specify the reason for the change, the content of the Services or Fees to be changed, and the date of provision, etc., and post such information on the initial screen of the Service at least 7 days prior to the date of implementation of such change. However, if the change in Service or Fees is unfavorable or material to you, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance and obtain consent from you with respect to the change.
3. Payments in KRW Currency
All Fees payable for your use of the Services under this Agreement are denominated in USD. If you have elected to pay Fees using a credit card as your Payment Method, the Fees chargeable in a calendar month will be converted from USD to KRW, and the applicable exchange rate shall be determined by the mid-rate published by Bloomberg on the last business day of the preceding month. For example, if you are charged Fees in March 2024 for use of certain Services, and you have elected to pay using your credit card, the Fees will be converted from USD to KRW using the exchange rate determined by the mid-rate published by Bloomberg on the last business day of February 2024, and your credit card will be charged accordingly after conversion to KRW.

However, notwithstanding the above, if the contents of the Services are different from the contents displayed or advertised by Tencent, or if the contents are performed differently from contents specified in the Terms and other agreements related to the Services, you may cancel the Services within three months after the date of commencement of the Services, or within 30 days after the date you knew or could have known such fact. 
(b) You may not cancel the Services against Tencent’s intention if the Services that Tencent has provided are temporary or with only partial functions.

(d) Cancellation will take effect from the date of sending your intention to cancel. 
(e) If you cancel, Tencent will delete and terminate your Service without delay and refund Fees within 3 days after the date of deletion/termination.

(g) Tencent will request the business operator who provided the Payment Method used to pay the Fees to suspend or cancel the charge for the Fees without delay. However, if Tencent has already received Fees from the payment company, it will be refunded to the payment company and notify to you.
