Any payment of such cash to the Estate Agent will be a good discharge of Ascendas’ obligation to pay such cash. In this regard, the affected Agent shall not have any right or remedies against Ascendas in respect of such cash. 9. All Partner Points (whether redeemable or redeemed for payment or not) shall be deleted from the Agent's Account on the day following the last day of each Year (or on such other later day as Ascendas may stipulate). 10.

Ascendas shall, at its sole and absolute discretion, be entitled to refuse to credit the Agent's Account with Partner Points or Partners Rewards Plus amounts in respect of any Transaction if Ascendas, at its sole and absolute discretion, determines that such Agent did not conclude that Transaction. 14.1 Ascendas may, at its sole and absolute discretion, without prior notice to the Agent, terminate the Programme.

The Agent shall keep Ascendas and the Ascendas Entity fully indemnified against all loss and damage suffered by Ascendas or any Ascendas Entity directly or indirectly arising from or relating to the Agent's participation in the Programme or any fraud committed by the Agent or misrepresentation by the Agent or the Agent's breach of these Terms. 16. Ascendas may at any time and from time to time vary, modify, add or delete these Terms.

Any communication, notice or letter to the Agent whether sent by post or hand or email communication delivered, to the Agent's last known address or facsimile number or email address in Ascendas' records or by posting on the Website shall be deemed to have been properly delivered to the Agent on the date of posting, delivery or transmission as the case may be. 18. All communications from the Agent must be in writing and must be either personally delivered or sent by registered post to Ascendas. 19. The Agent must notify Ascendas immediately of any change in the employment, postal addresses, email address or contact numbers of the Agent.

Ascendas' rights and remedies provided in these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies whether provided at law or otherwise. 21. Ascendas' records (of whatever nature) of all matters relating to the Programme and the Partner Points shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of such matters and are binding against the Agent for all purposes, save for manifest error, subject to Ascendas' right to adduce other evidence. 22. These Terms are governed by Singapore law and the Agent hereby submits irrevocably to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore courts. 23. A person who is not Ascendas or the Ascendas Entity or the Agent has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, Cap 53B to enforce any provision of these Terms. 24.
