If multiple persons are claiming ownership of or rights in a site hosted by OneSign or in an associated OneSign account, and, in OneSign's sole judgment, there is no certainty as to the ownership of or rights in said site or account, then OneSign will, to the extent of its knowledge and ability, notify said persons of the dispute and demand that said persons promptly, conclusively, and finally resolve the dispute in a manner which makes clear who the owner(s) and/or interest holder(s) is/are and in a manner which relieves OneSign of all liability or obligations concerning the dispute.

If the disputing persons fail so to resolve the dispute within what OneSign, in its sole judgment, deems to be a reasonable time, then OneSign, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may, in accordance with and subject to the laws of Singapore, file an interpleader action in a court of competent jurisdiction within the Republic of Singapore for the purpose of allowing the contending persons to resolve said dispute and to reach certainty regarding ownership of or rights in said site and/or account. The person or persons conclusively and finally determined by the interpleader action to be the rightful owner(s) or interest holder(s) of said site and/or associated account shall be obligated to reimburse OneSign for all of its expenses relative to said interpleader action including without limit all its court costs and reasonable attorney fees. All amounts owed to OneSign under this process shall be deemed due and payable immediately after judgment or settlement is reached.
