21.1 These Terms are governed by South African law, with specific reference to applicable consumer protection legislation, without prejudice to any other regulations prevailing in the usual country of residence of the consumer making the purchase.

Any dispute will be exclusively submitted to the competent court of the place where the consumer is domiciled or resident, or, alternatively, the South African courts.
21.2 If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be deemed separable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
21.3 We inform consumers that in order to settle disputes arising from online sales contracts out of court, in addition to the right to access judicial protection, they may submit an online complaint through the appropriate South African consumer dispute resolution authorities.
21.4 Only you, Global-E, and our company shall have the right to enforce these Terms. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. We may transfer or delegate our rights and obligations under these Terms in whole or in part to another organization without your prior consent and without prior notice to you, provided that such transfer does not affect your rights or obligations under these Terms. Our failure or delay in exercising or enforcing any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, nor shall it affect our obligation to comply with such terms.
