STINT
Test Participation Agreement

STINT Pilot Test Programme
Test Participation Agreement

Version 2026-08-06 · v3

The parties to this agreement are the organiser of the programme (“the Organiser” or “we”) and the test participant identified in the application (“the Participant” or “you”). The Organiser designs, develops and tests the STINT product as an individual developer and runs the “STINT Pilot Test Programme” (“the Programme”); this is not run in the name of a company.

This agreement governs your participation in the Programme. By ticking the consent box on the application page and submitting your application, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted all of it.

If you do not accept any part of it, please do not apply or take part. If you have already received a test unit, stop using it and return it as we direct.

This English text is a translation provided for your convenience and is the version used for applicants outside Taiwan. The Programme is governed by the law of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Chinese original remains the authoritative text; in the event of any discrepancy, the Chinese version prevails.

1Nature and content of the Programme

  1. The purpose of the Programme is for participants to use a pre-production STINT engineering unit in everyday or specified test situations and to supply test records, fault reports and opinions, so that the Organiser can develop, debug and improve the product and assess it for production.
  2. The Organiser lends the test unit to you free of charge. The test period is normally about one to three months and, depending on the stage of development, may be divided into three separate rounds; where necessary the Organiser may recall the unit at the end of a round and supply one with newer firmware or a different configuration.
  3. The actual period, number of rounds, model, firmware version, exchange arrangements, tasks and schedule may be adjusted reasonably by the Organiser according to development progress, equipment availability and testing needs.
  4. The Programme is a product research and testing activity. It is not a sale, pre-order, rental or paid service. Except where this agreement expressly says otherwise, taking part does not mean the Organiser undertakes that the product will be produced, launched, or have any particular feature.
  5. No payment is made for taking part. Nothing here creates employment, a contract for work, mandate, agency, partnership, distributorship or any similar relationship.
  6. The Programme accepts only applicants aged 18 or over with full legal capacity. Applicants under 18 are not accepted in this round.

2Engineering status and functional limits

  1. The unit you receive is a pre-production engineering sample and may differ from any future production version, including in:
    1. appearance, dimensions, weight, materials or colour;
    2. button layout, button feel or method of operation;
    3. strap, accessories, packaging or charging equipment;
    4. hardware specification, sensor accuracy or battery life;
    5. app interface, firmware features or data formats;
    6. other design elements still to be revised or validated.
  2. During the test period the firmware, app and related services may be updated frequently, and the following may occur:
    1. failure to start, freezing, spontaneous restarts or dropped connections;
    2. data not recorded, recorded incompletely, delayed or lost;
    3. displays, values or behaviour that do not match the description;
    4. excessive battery drain, heat, sensor faults or failed syncing;
    5. existing features changed, suspended or removed by an update;
    6. other errors or instability normal to an engineering test phase.
  3. Features marked “coming soon”, “in development” or similar on the product pages, in the app or in other material may not be present in the version you hold, and no undertaking is given that they will arrive by any particular date.
  4. To the extent permitted by law, the Organiser does not warrant that the unit, firmware, app or related services:
    1. will be continuously available, uninterrupted or free of error;
    2. display or record data that is entirely accurate, timely or complete;
    3. meet your particular requirements or any particular purpose;
    4. will carry every planned feature into a final production version.
  5. If a fault in the product itself makes further testing impossible, tell the Organiser. We may then troubleshoot, update the firmware, replace the equipment, suspend testing or take other appropriate action.

3Safety, restrictions and assumption of risk

This product is a tool for recording information about driving or an activity. It is not a safety device, a medical device, a navigation system, emergency equipment or certified competition timing equipment.

  1. You must not treat information shown or recorded by the product as the sole basis for any decision about driving, navigation, speed, braking, obstacle avoidance, rescue, or anything else affecting life, physical safety or property.
  2. Do not operate the unit, the watch or the app while the vehicle is moving. All settings, pairing, data checks and screen changes must be done with the vehicle fully stopped and the surroundings safe.
  3. You must comply with the law, traffic rules, venue rules and event regulations where you test. Racing, top-speed runs, drifting, dangerous driving and other unlawful testing on public roads are not permitted.
  4. Speed, track, attitude, position, lap time and other values shown by the unit or app are for product testing and general reference only, and may not be used as the sole or formal basis for:
    1. evidence in judicial or administrative proceedings;
    2. an insurance claim;
    3. apportioning responsibility for a road accident;
    4. official competition results or record certification;
    5. a transaction, valuation or proof of performance;
    6. any other legally effective determination or dispute.
  5. Off-road driving, RC crawling, competitive events and other special venues may involve impact, rollover, falls, mud and water, dust, extreme temperatures, difficult terrain and injury to people. You must satisfy yourself about the venue, the weather, the condition of the vehicle, how the equipment is secured and your own ability, and take appropriate safety precautions.
  6. Accidents, personal injury, property damage, fines and other legal liability arising from your breach of the law, venue rules, safety instructions or this agreement, or from improper operation, dangerous driving, failure to secure the equipment or over-reliance on test data, are your responsibility.
  7. The Organiser is not responsible for risks a participant could reasonably avoid or control. However, this clause and every other exclusion or limitation in this agreement do not apply to:
    1. the Organiser's intent or gross negligence;
    2. liability that may not be excluded or limited in advance by law;
    3. liability of the Organiser arising by law from a safety defect in the unit;
    4. any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
  8. If while using the unit you notice unusual heat, swelling, smoke, odour, leakage, abnormal charging, cracking or anything else that may be unsafe, stop using it immediately, move it away from anything flammable and tell the Organiser as soon as you can. Do not continue charging, wearing, dismantling or repairing it.

4Ownership, custody and use of the unit

  1. The test unit and any accessories, charging equipment, packaging or other items supplied by the Organiser remain the property of the Organiser or the relevant rights holder. During the test period you acquire only the right to use the unit in accordance with this agreement.
  2. The unit is lent free of charge. You must keep, use and look after it with the care of a prudent custodian.
  3. Without the Organiser's prior consent given in writing, by email or in another storable electronic message, you must not:
    1. lend, transfer, resell, rent out, pledge or give it into anyone else's keeping;
    2. dismantle, jailbreak, modify, drill, cut or repair it yourself;
    3. remove, obscure or alter serial numbers, labels or identifying marks;
    4. reverse-engineer or decompile the firmware or software, or circumvent technical protection;
    5. use it for commercial, unlawful or highly dangerous purposes outside the Programme;
    6. otherwise dispose of it, encumber it, or infringe the rights of the Organiser or any rights holder.
  4. If the unit develops a fault, is damaged or behaves abnormally, stop using it and tell the Organiser. Do not have it repaired by a third party or change parts yourself.
  5. Reasonable wear, faults or damage caused by normal testing use consistent with this agreement are dealt with by the Organiser, and we will not, as a rule, seek compensation from you.
  6. In RC crawler testing, minor impacts, rollovers, scratches, sand and splashes arising from normal operation are treated as normal testing use. However, unless the equipment is rated for it, you must not submerge it or leave it in water for any length of time.
  7. You are liable for reasonable compensation where the unit is lost, destroyed or damaged through:
    1. intent or gross negligence;
    2. clear breach of this agreement, the operating instructions or the Organiser's safety directions;
    3. unauthorised lending, dismantling, modification or handing over to a third party;
    4. loss or theft resulting from a failure to take reasonable care;
    5. full submersion, exposure to fire, or other plainly improper use;
    6. any other cause attributable to you.
  8. Compensation under the previous paragraph is based on the actual and reasonable cost of repair, the cost of parts, or the reasonable residual value of the unit at the time of the loss. It is not calculated from an estimated retail price for a product that is not yet in production. The Organiser will provide a reasonable basis or calculation for any sum claimed.
  9. If the unit is lost or stolen, tell the Organiser as soon as you know. Where theft or another offence may be involved, please also report it to the police and provide the relevant information.

5Test tasks and your obligations

  1. Unless the Organiser notifies otherwise, you should complete the following number of sessions during the test period:
    1. RC crawler category: at least eight.
    2. All other categories: at least six.
  2. For each round you should normally submit:
    1. at least one log file meeting the task requirements;
    2. at least one screenshot of the operation or the result;
    3. a short note of your impressions, the problem, or a suggestion;
    4. any other test material the Organiser reasonably specifies.
  3. If the unit behaves abnormally, please record as much as you can of:
    1. the date, time and context;
    2. what you did immediately before;
    3. firmware version, app version and phone model;
    4. screenshots, video, error messages or the relevant log file;
    5. anything else that helps us reproduce the problem.
  4. You agree to share at least three genuine pieces of content about the Programme on public social media, a website or another public channel. The Organiser may not require you to produce false, misleading or artificially positive reviews.
  5. When posting publicly, you must disclose that you received an engineering unit free of charge or are taking part in the Programme — for example by marking it “STINT tester”, “engineering unit trial” or similar wording that makes the relationship clear to an ordinary reader.
  6. Your comments and opinions should be based on actual use. Taking part does not restrict you from giving reasonable, truthful and good-faith negative feedback or criticism.
  7. If weather, illness, equipment failure, work, family or another reasonable cause prevents you from completing tasks on schedule, tell the Organiser as soon as you can. We can then agree an extension, adjust the tasks, or arrange an early withdrawal.
  8. You must not fabricate session counts, log files, screenshots, write-ups or other material in order to obtain a production unit or any other benefit.

6Test data and personal data

  1. To run the Programme the Organiser may collect:
    1. name, nickname, age or date of birth;

    4. unit serial number, firmware version, app version and device information;
    5. track, position, speed, attitude, time, activity and fault records;
    6. screenshots, photographs, video, audio, feedback and correspondence;
    7. anything else you provide or that running the Programme requires.
  2. The purposes are:
    1. assessing and administering eligibility;
    2. shipping, recovering, exchanging and tracking units;
    3. contacting participants and providing support;
    4. testing, reproducing problems, debugging, analysis and improvement;
    5. confirming task completion and eligibility for the production unit;
    6. maintaining security, preventing misuse and handling disputes;
    7. complying with legal obligations or requests from an authority.
  3. Data is used for the duration of the Programme and for such period afterwards as is necessary for product improvement, equipment recovery, dispatching the gift, tax, complaints, disputes or statutory retention.
  4. Data is used primarily within Taiwan. Where the email, cloud storage, survey, analytics or other online services we use involve servers abroad, data may be stored or processed where those servers are located.
  5. Data may be handled by:
    1. the Organiser;
    2. service providers engaged to assist with development, shipping, IT maintenance or analysis;
    3. courts, prosecutors, police or authorities entitled by law to obtain it.
  6. The Organiser will let assistants and service providers see data only so far as the Programme requires, and will take reasonable security measures.
  7. The raw log files you submit are used only for testing, debugging, research and product improvement. They are not published or sold.
  8. The Organiser may de-identify, anonymise or aggregate test data and use it for development, statistics, safety improvement and internal decisions. Where data has been processed so that it can no longer identify anyone directly or indirectly, we may continue to keep and use it for those purposes.
  9. After the Programme ends the Organiser will, within a reasonable time, delete or anonymise raw test data that is no longer needed, except where:
    1. the law requires it to be kept;
    2. it is needed for a complaint, dispute or legal proceeding;
    3. you have separately agreed to it being kept or used;
    4. it has been irreversibly de-identified or anonymised.
  10. Where the app offers trimming, deletion or masking of route sections, you may remove anything you would rather not share before submitting. Please also avoid submitting third-party personal data or sensitive information unrelated to the testing.
  11. You may exercise the following rights with the Organiser as the law allows:
    1. to enquire about or review your data;
    2. to request a copy;
    3. to have it supplemented or corrected;
    4. to have its collection, processing or use stopped;
    5. to have it deleted.
  12. Providing personal data is voluntary. But if you decline to provide what the Programme needs, we may be unable to process your application, supply a unit, contact you, manage the equipment or confirm that you have completed the testing.
  13. The data controller for the Programme is the Organiser, operating publicly under the name STINT. Other aspects of data handling are described in the Privacy Notice; for how to exercise the rights above, see clause 17.

7Name, likeness, photographs and video

  1. The Organiser's use of your name, nickname, likeness, voice, photographs and video is limited to what you expressly select on the application form. Anything you have not expressly agreed to, we do not use.
  2. The form asks four separate questions, each answered independently:
    1. how your name may appear: full real name / surname and initials / nickname or the name people know you by / social media handle / do not publish;
    2. photographs and video you take: internal testing and evaluation only / internal use and possible publication on our pages and social channels;
    3. photographs of your vehicle: yes / yes but do not show the plate / no;
    4. resharing of your public posts: yes / no (see clause 8).
  3. Permission comes at two levels:
    1. Level one — development and internal evaluation only. We may use the material for product testing, reproducing problems and improving the product, for necessary discussion with development collaborators, and for non-public test records and research write-ups. Material at this level may not be used in public advertising, social posts or outward-facing promotion.
    2. Level two — public use permitted. In addition to the above, we may use the material publicly on the STINT website and product pages, official social accounts and pages, newsletters and public presentations, product launches, exhibitions and promotional events, and in online or physical promotional material for the STINT product.
  4. Within the scope you have agreed, you licence the Organiser to reproduce, edit, crop, resize, caption, display, transmit, distribute and otherwise use the material as necessary for those purposes. The Organiser may not use it in a way that distorts it, takes it out of context, is demeaning, or is seriously misleading.
  5. Unless separately agreed in writing, this licence is non-exclusive and royalty-free, worldwide, and runs from the date you agree until you withdraw it or the purpose ends.
  6. You may withdraw permission at any time by writing, email or another storable electronic message. On receipt the Organiser will, within a reasonable time, stop making new use of the material and remove online content within its control.
  7. Withdrawal does not affect lawful use already made. Material already printed, already published, already reposted by a third party, already built into a video that cannot be edited piecemeal, or that cannot be removed immediately for technical reasons, may not be fully recoverable; the Organiser will stop further use so far as is reasonably practicable.
  8. If a photograph or video shows an identifiable third party, you must confirm that you have their consent, or mask, crop or de-identify them before submitting it.

8Resharing and reuse of public content

  1. Where you publish posts, photographs, videos or other content about the Programme or the STINT product under clause 5, and you have selected yes on the application form, the Organiser may reshare, share or embed the original post on STINT's official website and official social accounts.
  2. That consent also covers reuse for promotional purposes: the Organiser may download the source file, re-edit it, re-score it or add captions, and use the result in STINT promotional material, including as paid media advertising.
  3. This licence is non-exclusive, royalty-free and worldwide, and runs for as long as you have not withdrawn it.
  4. In any reuse the Organiser may not present the material in a way that distorts it, takes it out of context, is demeaning or is seriously misleading. Where an identifiable person appears, use remains limited by the level you selected under clause 7.
  5. You may tell the Organiser at any time to stop resharing, sharing or reusing your public content. On receipt we will, within a reasonable time, stop making new use of it and remove what is within our control; paid advertising already placed and not immediately withdrawable will not be renewed after the current flight ends.
  6. You must ensure that content you provide or publish is your own work or properly licensed, and does not infringe anyone's copyright, likeness rights, privacy, trade marks or other rights.

9Feedback and intellectual property

  1. Intellectual property in the unit, firmware, app, interface, icons, design, trade marks, technical documents, source code, data formats and other outputs belongs to the Organiser or other rights holders.
  2. Apart from the use expressly licensed here, taking part gives you no patent, copyright, trade mark, trade secret, technology licence or other intellectual property right.
  3. Fault reports, notes on use, suggestions, feature ideas and other feedback you give during testing remain free for you to use. You agree that the Organiser may also use, reproduce, modify, analyse, incorporate and implement that feedback, free of charge, non-exclusively and without limit of territory or time, for researching, developing, improving, manufacturing, promoting and commercialising the product.
  4. Where such feedback includes complete text, photographs, video or other works in which you hold copyright, public use of those works remains subject to the permissions in clause 7 or clause 8.
  5. Adopting or not adopting your suggestion creates no obligation on the Organiser to pay you, grant rights, co-develop, give a joint credit or anything similar, unless separately agreed in writing.

10Confidentiality

a. What the Programme expressly allows you to publish

The Programme takes an open approach. The following is not confidential and you may film, publish and discuss it freely without asking us first:

b. What is confidential

  1. Apart from the above, you may come across the following unpublished information:
    1. firmware files, installers, debug data, source technical documents and internal test reports;
    2. unreleased features, interfaces or designs in development that you did not actually receive;
    3. pricing, cost, production volumes, launch timing and channel plans;
    4. development schedules, strategy and non-public internal documents;
    5. anything else the Organiser marks or notifies as confidential in writing or in a storable electronic message.
    This is together the “Confidential Information”.
  2. Without the Organiser's prior consent in writing or in a storable electronic message, you must not:
    1. disclose or supply Confidential Information to any third party;
    2. upload or distribute firmware, installers, debug data or source technical files;
    3. use Confidential Information to compete, to copy the product, or for any purpose other than testing;
    4. otherwise allow a third party to learn or use it.
  3. The following is not Confidential Information:
    1. information already public other than through your breach;
    2. information you lawfully held before joining the Programme;
    3. information lawfully obtained from a third party under no duty of confidence;
    4. information you developed independently without using the Organiser's Confidential Information;
    5. information the Organiser has agreed may be made public.
  4. If the law, a court or an authority requires disclosure, tell the Organiser beforehand so far as the law permits, and disclose only the minimum legally required.
  5. This clause continues after you withdraw or the Programme ends, until the information lawfully becomes public or ceases to have any confidential value.
  6. Nothing here restricts you from reporting unlawful conduct, cooperating with a judicial or regulatory investigation, or exercising rights the law does not allow to be restricted.

11The production unit

  1. A participant who meets all of the following will, as a rule, receive one production unit once the product formally goes into production:
    1. completed every round of the Programme;
    2. completed the number of sessions reasonably required in each round;
    3. submitted the log files, screenshots, write-ups and specified tasks in full;
    4. returned every engineering unit and accessory as agreed;
    5. not fabricated material, maliciously damaged equipment or otherwise seriously breached this agreement;
    6. completed the delivery details and any necessary administrative steps we notify.
  2. The model, colour, specification, accessories, timing and method of delivery of the production unit are decided by the Organiser according to actual production and stock.
  3. The gift of a production unit and the return of the engineering unit are independent of each other. You may not refuse or delay returning the engineering unit on the ground that the production unit has not yet arrived.
  4. The timing of production and launch is not yet settled. If technical, market, legal, funding, supply-chain, capacity or other factors mean the product does not enter production, development stops, or the launch is cancelled, this clause no longer applies.
  5. In that case the Organiser may decide whether to express thanks by some other keepsake, discount or means. Unless the Organiser has expressly promised otherwise in writing, participants may not claim cash, a substitute product or damages.
  6. Where a small number of tasks are unfinished for reasons not attributable to the participant, the Organiser may assess eligibility individually according to the extent of actual participation.
  7. If the gift gives rise to any income declaration, withholding, tax or other statutory obligation, the Organiser and the participant will each comply with the applicable law. The Organiser may require the information the law needs.

12Returning the unit

  1. You must return the unit and accessories by the deadline and in the manner the Organiser specifies when any of the following happens:
    1. a round of testing ends;
    2. the Programme expires, is suspended or is terminated;
    3. you withdraw;
    4. the Organiser asks to change the model or firmware version;
    5. you cease to be eligible;
    6. any other circumstance under this agreement requiring return.
  2. Reasonable shipping costs for a normal return are borne by the Organiser. We will supply the shipping method, a waybill, or a reasonable expense-claim procedure.
  3. You must pack the unit properly following the instructions we give. If damage occurs in transit that proper packing would reasonably have avoided, you are responsible for it.
  4. Keep your proof of posting or waybill until the Organiser confirms receipt.
  5. If, after being notified to return the unit, you fail to do so without good reason, and still fail to do so after a further notice and a reasonable deadline, the Organiser may pursue the return of the equipment and reasonable losses caused by the delay under the law.

13Withdrawal, suspension and termination

  1. You may withdraw from the Programme at any time, without giving a reason and without any penalty. After withdrawing, stop using the unit and return it under clause 12.
  2. After withdrawing you are, as a rule, no longer eligible for a production unit, unless the Organiser agrees otherwise in writing or in a storable electronic message.
  3. The Organiser may give you notice to put matters right if you:
    1. fail to complete tasks for three consecutive weeks and do not respond to contact;
    2. fail to supply necessary test material when reasonably asked;
    3. let an unapproved third party use the unit;
    4. breach the confidentiality, safety or equipment-use provisions;
    5. publish content you know to be untrue, fabricated or seriously misleading;
    6. otherwise breach this agreement.
  4. If you do not put matters right within a reasonable period, the Organiser may end your participation and require the unit back.
  5. Where the breach is serious or cannot be cured, or involves reselling the equipment, deliberate destruction, disclosure of significant Confidential Information, unlawful use or serious risk to safety, the Organiser may end your participation immediately without a cure period.
  6. The Organiser may suspend, adjust or terminate all or part of the Programme early for reasons of development direction, equipment safety, product strategy, legal requirements, resources, personal health or any other reasonable cause. We will notify participants and arrange the return of equipment so far as is reasonably practicable.
  7. After withdrawal or termination, the provisions on returning equipment, compensation, personal data, content permissions, intellectual property, confidentiality, governing law and disputes continue in force so far as their nature requires.

14Limitation of liability

  1. Except where the law requires otherwise or the Organiser has acted with intent or gross negligence, the Organiser is not liable for the following indirect or incidental losses:
    1. lost expected profit or business opportunity;
    2. data loss not caused by the Organiser's intent or gross negligence;
    3. loss caused by third-party equipment, phones, networks, cloud platforms or service outages;
    4. loss arising from a participant's failure to follow safety instructions or operating guidance;
    5. other indirect loss the Organiser could not reasonably foresee or control.
  2. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits liability that may not lawfully be excluded or limited, including the Organiser's liability for intent or gross negligence and the mandatory protection the law gives to life, body and health.

15Force majeure

Where natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake, typhoon, epidemic, war, strike, government order, change in the law, loss of communications, supply-chain disruption, a major security incident, serious illness or injury of the Organiser, or any other cause outside the Organiser's reasonable control prevents the Programme from running as planned, the Organiser may adjust, postpone, suspend or terminate it.

Except where the law requires otherwise, the Organiser is not liable for delay or damages arising from such causes, but will notify participants and deal properly with recovering the units so far as is reasonably practicable.

16Changes to this agreement

  1. The Organiser may revise this agreement because of testing needs, changes in the law or adjustments to the Programme.
  2. Where a revision affects participants' significant rights or obligations — including data use, public permissions, confidentiality, liability for compensation or the conditions for the production unit — the Organiser will notify participants by email, messaging, a notice in the application system or another reasonable means.
  3. Significant changes apply from the effective date stated in the notice and are not retrospective, unless the law requires otherwise or the participant separately agrees.
  4. If you do not accept a significant change, you may notify us before it takes effect that you are withdrawing, return the unit, and incur no liability for doing so.
  5. The Organiser may not, by public notice or unilateral amendment alone, retrospectively change tasks a participant has already completed, eligibility already earned, or rights already granted.

17Notices and contact

  1. The Organiser may send notices about the Programme using the email address, telephone number, messaging account or other contact details you gave when applying.
  2. Tell us promptly if your contact details change. Where you do not receive a notice because your details were out of date, the Organiser is not responsible for the resulting disadvantage attributable to you.
  3. Contact for the Programme:
    1. Before selection. To keep the address from being harvested, no email address is published on this site. If you have a question about this agreement, your application or the handling of your personal data, or you wish to exercise a right under clause 6, please contact us through the same channel where you saw the recruitment post.
    2. After selection. We will contact you at the email address you gave on the form, and that address then becomes the formal channel between us; the Organiser's name and full contact details are provided in that message.
  4. The Organiser runs the Programme as an individual developer, operating publicly under the name STINT.

18General

  1. This agreement is the entire agreement between the parties about the Programme, together with the individual permission choices on the application form, the task descriptions, the Privacy Notice, and any written or electronic document the parties confirm.
  2. If those documents conflict, then except as the law requires the following order applies:
    1. a specific arrangement separately confirmed by the parties;
    2. this agreement;
    3. the individual permission choices on the application form;
    4. the test tasks and operating instructions;
    5. other general notices.
    Where personal data or permissions for name, likeness or copyright are concerned, the participant's more specific, more recent and clearer expression of intent prevails.
  3. A failure by the Organiser to exercise a right immediately is not a waiver of it.
  4. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this agreement without the Organiser's prior consent.
  5. If any provision is held wholly or partly invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are unaffected.
  6. Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.

19Governing law and disputes

  1. The formation, interpretation, performance and any dispute arising out of this agreement are governed by the law of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
  2. The parties will first try in good faith to resolve any dispute by discussion.
  3. If discussion fails and litigation becomes necessary, jurisdiction is determined under the Code of Civil Procedure of the Republic of China.
  4. Nothing in this clause deprives a consumer resident outside Taiwan of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of their place of habitual residence.
