8. Governing Law
These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the Republic of South Africa.

This governing law clause establishes that South African law will govern the terms and conditions, while acknowledging that users from other countries may be subject to local laws as well. It maintains South Africa as the primary jurisdiction while allowing for the application of local laws where appropriate.
The clause also specifically excludes the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, which is a common exclusion in governing law provisions.
