Online travel platform Trip.com has revised its terms of service following controversy over a clause stipulating that disputes would be governed by Singapore law, according to material on unfair terms provided by the Fair Trade Commission and published in Korean news outlets.
The clause, which designated Singapore law as the governing law for user disputes, was cited in Fair Trade Commission reference material as an example of potentially unfair contract terms. The issue gained public attention after coverage in Korean media, including a Herald Economy report carried by Daum News and News1's publication of the commission's example-terms material.
Following the controversy, Trip.com changed its terms of service, addressing the governing-law provision that had been flagged. The revision means users contracting with the platform are no longer subject to the previously disputed clause as originally written.
The change was documented in primary materials reviewed for this report, including news coverage and the Fair Trade Commission's published examples of unfair terms.
The claim that Trip.com amended its terms of service amid the controversy over the Singapore governing-law clause is True.
