21. Choice Of Law And Jurisdiction
21.1. Any legal relations established by these GTCs or related to them, as well as any related non-contractual legal relations, shall be governed by the laws of Malta. The Parties irrevocably agree that the courts of Malta shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with the GTCs or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).

22.2 Nothing in these GTCs is intended to limit any legal claims set out elsewhere in these GTCs or arising from the applicable law. If the Provider or any third party authorized thereto does not enforce the compliance with these GTCs, or delays exercising its rights under this GTCs, this can in no way be construed as a waiver of any right or claim.
22.3 They acknowledge and agree that the Provider may assign any claim arising to the Provider from these GTCs or any agreement to a third party without your consent. The Customer is not authorized to transfer or assign the Customer’s rights and obligations under these GTCs or any agreements or parts thereof, or any receivables arising from them, in whole or in part, to any third party.

23. BEHAVIOUR POLICY
We are dedicated to providing a fair and consistent service to everyone. We believe that everyone who contacts us has the right to be heard and understood, and also respected.
We believe that our staff have the same rights, and we must provide a safe working environment for our staff. We must also ensure the efficient and effective operation of our business, so that we can provide a good service to everyone who is using our business.
We may decide to restrict access and/or terminate our services immediately by closing all of your account’s open positions if we consider someone’s actions or behaviour are likely to have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation or effect on our staff or our work.
This policy sets out the kinds of actions and behaviour that may have a negative effect, and what we will do in these circumstances. This policy applies to everyone who interacts or communicates with us, including clients, potential clients, affiliates, and users of our means of communication – email, chat, and telephone.
We recognize that some people may have difficulties in expressing themselves or communicating clearly, especially when anxious or upset. We also understand that some people may find it difficult to identify what impact their behaviour might have on other people.
Our rights
All our staff have the right not to be subjected to aggressive, offensive, or abusive actions, language or behaviour, regardless of the circumstances. This means any actions or behaviour that could cause staff to feel intimidated, threatened or offended. These include, but are not limited to – threats, physical violence, personal verbal abuse, derogatory remarks, and rudeness, whether made to the member of staff directly or elsewhere. Deliberately provocative or inflammatory statements and unsubstantiated allegations can also amount to abusive actions or behaviour.
Violence can be defined in various ways – it also includes behaviour or language, whether oral or written, that may cause staff to feel afraid, threatened, or abused.
If someone makes unreasonable demands on us or our staff or is unreasonably persistent, that may have an impact on our ability to review the person’s complaint or the complaints of other people who are using the services. Some examples include the following: requesting responses within an unreasonable timescale; insisting on speaking to or corresponding with a particular member of staff, frequent phone calls, emails, or online chats; repeatedly changing the substance of the complaint or raising unrelated concerns.
Examples of unreasonable persistence include: continual refusal to accept that a decision has been made in relation to a complaint; insisting that we answer questions when we have done so or explained why we will not; persistent refusal to accept explanations relating to what we can or can’t do; sending emails to multiple members of staff; or repeatedly trying to revisit a case through our internal processes, once those processes have come to an end.
