12. The contents of our OneService digital products including but not limited to its source codes, data, pages, documents, editorial content, online graphics, user interface, and digital content and/or media are owned by or licensed to us, and are protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws including but not limited to copyright and trademark.

13. Any unauthorised modification, reproduction, publication, uploading, posting, transmission or distribution of the contents of our OneService digital products is strictly prohibited and may constitute an infringement of our intellectual property rights.

14. Any content displayed on our OneService digital products is for the purposes of providing you with information only and may not cover all information available on a particular issue. Such content must not be relied upon as professional advice. While every effort has been made to ensure that our OneService digital products and the contents therein are consistent with existing law and practice, you must do your own checks and seek your own professional advice relevant to your particular circumstances.

15. In making materials available on our OneService digital products, we act in good faith. However, despite taking all reasonable precautions, we recognise that, from time to time, the materials published on our OneService digital products may include content that you find objectionable. If you have any concerns regarding any material available on our OneService digital products, please contact us in writing at mso_appenquiry@mnd.gov.sg and provide us with the following information:

a. Your full name and contact details;

b. The particular material that you find objectionable; and

16. Upon receipt of your written notice submitted in accordance with paragraph 15, we will take whatever action which we, in our sole and absolute discretion, deem appropriate, including removal of the aforementioned material from the OneService digital products.

17. Please refer to the Privacy Statement.

18. We are not responsible or liable for the availability or content of any other Internet website, application or service (not provided by us) that is linked to or from our OneService digital products. You access such other Internet websites, applications or services solely at your own risk and if you create a link or frame to our OneService digital products, you do so solely at your own risk, and that will constitute your acceptance of these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you must immediately discontinue hyperlinking to or framing our OneService digital products.

19. We reserve all rights to disable any link or frame to or from our OneService digital products. If we object to the creation of any link or frame to or from our OneService digital products, you will remove such link or frame within seven (7) days of your receipt of written notice from us. 

20. Our OneService digital products may require, enable or facilitate access to or use of website, software or services of a third party (“Third Party”). In such an event, there will be terms of use of the Third Party website, software or service (the “Third Party Terms”) that will bind either our OneService digital products or you or both. An example of such Third Party Terms would be open source software terms or standard form terms of the distribution platform from which you obtain any part of the our OneService digital products (e.g. Google Play Store or Apple App Store terms) which bind MSO as a developer or user of the distribution platform (the “Distribution Terms”). Information on the Third Party Terms are embedded in our OneService digital products, already accounted for in these Terms of Use, publicly available (e.g the Distribution Terms) or otherwise indicated in the Schedule herein. For the avoidance of doubt, as this paragraph 20 relates to the Distribution Terms, the relevant Distribution Terms are the terms of the specific platform from which you obtained a copy of the software or application that is part of our OneService digital products. For example, if you obtained the said copy from the Google Play Store, then the relevant terms are Google’s Distribution Terms.

21. If the Third Party Terms require you to enter into an agreement directly with the Third Party, then you agree to enter into such agreement, and in any event, to be bound by the Third Party Terms.

22. You agree to indemnify and keep us harmless against all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including legal costs on an indemnity basis) howsoever arising out of or in connection with your access or use (direct or indirect) of the aforesaid Third Party website, software or services or your non-compliance with the Third Party Terms.

23. For the avoidance of doubt, without prejudice to paragraph 22, to the extent of any inconsistency between these Terms of Use and the Third Party Terms, the latter shall prevail provided that nothing in the Third Party Terms shall limit the generality of your indemnity obligations in paragraph 22.

24. Where appropriate, we will use available technology to protect the security of communications made through our OneService digital products. However, we expressly disclaim all liability for the security, authenticity, integrity or confidentiality of any transactions and other communications made through OneService digital products. Despite our best efforts, internet communications may be interfered with or intercepted by third parties. Further, we do not warrant that our OneService digital products are or will be free of infection by computer viruses or any other unauthorised software, and we will accept no liability in connection with any damage or loss you may suffer due to such computer viruses or unauthorised software.

25. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your passwords, information, software, and equipment, and for all activities that occur on or through our OneService digital products and your OneService digital product account(s). This includes clearing your Internet browser or mobile device’s cookies and cache before and after accessing or using any services on our OneService digital products.

26. Our OneService digital products are provided on an “as is” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. While every care has been taken by us in the provision of OneService digital products, in no event shall we be liable for any loss or damage:

27. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not warrant and hereby disclaim any warranty:

a. as to the accuracy, correctness, adequacy, fullness, reliability, timeliness, non-infringement, title, merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose of the contents of OneService digital products;

b. that our OneService digital products and the contents therein or any functions in connection therewith will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects will be corrected or that our OneService digital products and servers are and will be free of all viruses or other malicious, destructive or corrupting code, agent, programme or macros and/or other harmful elements; or

c. as to the appropriateness of content (such as comments and pictures) posted by other users.

28. We shall also not be liable for and you agree that you shall have no claim in connection with any damage or loss of any kind caused to you as a result (whether direct or indirect) of access to or use of our OneService digital products or non-access thereof, including but not limited to any damage or loss you suffer as a result of reliance on the contents of OneService digital products.

29. You agree that any physical activity that you perform in connection with your usage of our OneService digital products carries certain inherent risks, including risks of property damage, bodily injury (to yourself and to third parties) or even death. You acknowledge these inherent risks (whether known or unknown) and hereby release the Government, and all parties involved in the creation and maintenance of our OneService digital products from any and all liability connected with physical activities that you perform in connection with your usage of OneService digital products.

30. You agree and understand that you are responsible for any damage suffered by any person, corporation or entity as the result of any remarks, information, feedback or other content submitted by you or made available by you on OneService digital products.

31. The use of our OneService digital products and these Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore in the determination of any dispute arising in connection with our OneService digital products or the interpretation and construction of these Terms.

32. In the event any provision of these Terms shall be determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, but would be valid or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in question shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

33. These Terms contain the entire and whole agreement between you and us and supersedes all prior written or oral commitments, representations, arrangements, understandings or agreements between you and us.
