Party B: Gold Synergy Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Party B”)

 

WHEREAS, Party A and Party B signed a Distribution Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Master Agreement”) on March 24, 2020, under which Party A authorized Party B to use the internet platform(s) owned by Party A, and provide dropshipping services for Party A. To properly implement the Master Agreement and establish a long-term, and mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, the two parties have reached the following supplementary agreement through friendly consultation:

 

1.Regarding the amendment to Article VII of the Master Agreement

 

Both parties originally agreed in the Master Agreement that, “[t]he Parties agree that any disputes arising from the execution or performance of this Agreement, which cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, may be submitted to the arbitration court in either Party’s region for arbitration.”

 

Now the parties agree to amend the above as follows:

 

“Any disputes arising from the execution or performance of this Agreement shall be settled through friendly negotiation between the parties; in the event that such negotiation fails, the parties agree that the Tokyo District Court shall be the exclusive court of jurisdiction for the first instance; either party may file a lawsuit with the Tokyo District Court, and the applicable law shall be the laws of Japan.”

 

2.Regarding the addition of Section 3, Article VIII to the Master Agreement

 

Both parties agree to add the following as Section 3, Article VIII of the Master Agreement:

 

“Party B agrees to fully comply with the Personal Information Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as “China”), where the Agreement is principally performed, and other laws and regulations of China relating to personal information protection of Chinese consumers. Party B or Party B’s business partner(s) within China shall legally and properly collect, store, use, process, and manage personal information of Chinese consumers. Any legal liability arising from any violation of such laws and regulations shall be borne by Party B solely, and not by Party A. Party A shall not obtain or keep such personal information of Chinese consumers. If Party A suffers losses due to Party B’s failure to comply with China’s relevant laws and regulations relating to personal information protection, Party A has the right to unilaterally terminate the Master Agreement (including any supplementary agreement), and Party B shall be fully liable for all losses suffered by Party A as a result.”
