The limitations and exclusions set forth in this section shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, the Company liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website and the Services are provided on an as is and as available basis, without any representation, warranty, or condition of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

The Company does not warrant that the Website will be available at all times, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that defects or errors will be corrected; that the Website or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components; or that any results or outcomes from the Services will meet your expectations or requirements.

For Clients with an active project agreement, termination of that agreement shall be governed by the terms specified therein. Termination of the general Terms of Service does not automatically terminate any separate project agreement unless explicitly stated.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service and any disputes arising out of or relating to them, the Website, or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Subject to the dispute resolution provisions in Section 14, any legal action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Hong Kong. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection based on forum non conveniens or any other ground.

If you access the Website or use the Services from any jurisdiction outside Hong Kong, you are responsible for compliance with the laws of that jurisdiction to the extent they are applicable.

14. Dispute Resolution

The Company is committed to resolving disputes fairly and efficiently. Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally through good faith negotiations.

In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiations within 30 calendar days, either party may refer the dispute to mediation administered by a mutually agreed mediation service provider. The mediation shall take place in Hong Kong, and the parties shall share the costs of mediation equally unless otherwise agreed.

If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 calendar days of the referral to mediation, either party may pursue resolution through binding arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) in accordance with its rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator mutually agreed by the parties or, failing agreement, appointed by the HKIAC. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English, and the arbitration award shall be final and binding on both parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

15. Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms or any project agreement if such failure or delay results from any cause beyond its reasonable control. Such causes include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, accidents, strikes or other labor disputes, shortages of transportation, fuel, power, materials, or telecommunications services, epidemics, pandemics, or public health emergencies.

In the event of a force majeure condition, the affected party shall promptly notify the other party of the nature and expected duration of the condition and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance as soon as practicable. If the force majeure condition continues for more than 60 consecutive calendar days, either party may terminate the affected project agreement upon written notice, and the Client shall pay for all Services rendered up to the date of termination.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to reflect the parties original intention as closely as possible in accordance with applicable law, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable project agreement or statement of work executed by the parties, constitute the entire agreement between you and SAM CHEUNG INTERNATIONAL CO., LIMITED regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter.

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

18. Amendments

The Company reserves the right to modify or replace these Terms of Service at any time at its sole discretion. When changes are made, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on the Website or, for Clients with ongoing engagements, via direct communication where feasible.
