These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nigerian courts.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated at least 14 days in advance. Continued use of SENTRI after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
