The relocation of Supabase's legal entity from Delaware to Singapore may affect which jurisdiction's courts and laws apply to disputes, potentially impacting your ability to pursue claims in US courts and changing which consumer protection laws govern your relationship. The requirement to explicitly click 'I Accept' rather than accepting through sign-up or service use clarifies consent but does not substantively change the agreement's terms.
