These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you and INK Construction Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong with its registered office at Rm B2 32/F LEGEND TWR, 7 SHING YIP ST, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong (HK), acting under the developer name InkCore.
By accessing the website at www.inkcore.buzz, by engaging our services, or by otherwise using any material or information we provide, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you are entering into these terms on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organization.
If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the website or the services. Please read the entire document carefully before you proceed with any engagement with us.
In these terms, the following words have the meanings given below. The services means all computer systems design, computer integrated systems design, consulting, migration, integration, and related work described on the website and agreed in writing between us and you.
The client means the person or organization that engages us to provide services, whether under a signed agreement, an accepted proposal, or a statement of work. The developer refers to InkCore, the development team within INK Construction Limited.
Deliverables means the documents, drawings, designs, code, reports, and other materials we produce in the course of providing the services. The website means www.inkcore.buzz and any related pages we control.
InkCore provides professional and technical services in the field of computer systems design and computer integrated systems design. Our work covers systems architecture, construction technology platforms, data operations, migration and modernization, and technical assurance for organizations that plan, build, and operate physical assets.
The exact scope of each engagement is defined in a proposal, statement of work, or agreement that we issue before work begins. That document takes precedence over the general description on the website in the event of any conflict.
We provide the services with professional skill and care, consistent with the standards of the computer systems design industry. We do not guarantee that any particular result will be achieved, because outcomes depend on factors beyond our control, including the accuracy of information provided by the client and the conduct of third parties.
Our services are offered to businesses, public organizations, and professional users. To use the website and to engage our services, you must be at least eighteen years old and capable of forming a binding contract under the law that applies to you.
If you use the services on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to represent that organization and to bind it to these terms. We may ask you for evidence of that authority before we begin work.
We reserve the right to decline to provide services to any person or organization for legitimate business reasons, including regulatory restrictions, conflict of interest, or concerns about the legitimacy of the engagement.
Where our services require an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration, and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it. If you believe your account has been compromised, you must notify us immediately so that we can take protective steps.
We may suspend or close an account that we reasonably believe is being used in breach of these terms, in violation of law, or in a way that threatens the security of our systems or other users.
You agree to use the website and the services only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these terms. You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, to interfere with the operation of the website, or to collect information about other users by automated means.
You must not resell, sublicense, or redistribute the services or the deliverables without our prior written consent, except where a written agreement between us expressly permits such use.
We may make improvements, corrections, or security updates to the website from time to time. We will use reasonable efforts to limit disruption, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the website or of any service component.
The quality of our work depends on the quality of the information you provide. You agree to give us accurate and complete information about your systems, your requirements, and any constraints that affect the design work, and to respond promptly to reasonable requests for clarification.
You agree to provide timely access to your staff, your systems, and your documentation as required for the performance of the services, and to identify a contact person who is authorized to make decisions on your behalf.
You are responsible for obtaining any permissions, licenses, or consents that may be required for us to access third party systems or data as part of the services, and for ensuring that the information you provide to us does not violate the rights of any third party.
The fees for our services are set out in the proposal, statement of work, or agreement issued for each engagement. Unless otherwise agreed, fees are payable in the currency stated in that document and within the payment period stated on the invoice.
We invoice for our services according to the schedule agreed at the start of the engagement. Where the engagement is performed on a time and materials basis, we will provide itemized records of time and expenses on request.
If a payment is not received by the due date, we may suspend work on the affected engagement until payment is received. We may also charge reasonable late payment interest as permitted by applicable law, and we may require payment in advance for subsequent phases of the work.
The website, its design, its text, and our pre-existing tools, methods, and know how are owned by INK Construction Limited and its licensors. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of our intellectual property to you.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, ownership of the deliverables we create specifically for you transfers to you upon full payment of the fees for the engagement. We retain the right to reuse our general skills, methodologies, and standard components that are not specific to your confidential information.
You grant us a limited license to use your name, your branding, and your materials to the extent necessary to provide the services and to produce the deliverables. You represent that you own or control the rights in any material you provide to us for use in the work.
Each party will protect the confidential information of the other party with the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and in no case less than a reasonable standard of care. Confidential information includes technical data, business plans, client data, and unpublished deliverables.
Neither party will disclose the confidential information of the other party to any third party without prior written consent, except to its employees, advisors, and service providers who need to know the information and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality.
These obligations do not apply to information that is already public, that is lawfully received from a third party without restriction, that is independently developed, or that must be disclosed to comply with law or a court order.
We warrant that the services will be performed with reasonable skill and care, and that the deliverables will conform to the scope agreed in writing at the time of delivery. If a deliverable fails to conform, we will correct it at no additional cost within a reasonable time.
Except for the warranties in this section, the website and the services are provided on an as is and as available basis. We disclaim all other warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
We do not warrant that the website will be error free or uninterrupted, and we are not responsible for the availability or behavior of third party systems that our work may integrate with.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with these terms or the services.
Each partys total liability under or in connection with these terms, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, will not exceed the total fees paid or payable by the client to us for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or liability for fraud.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless INK Construction Limited, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, losses, damages, and reasonable expenses arising out of your breach of these terms, your use of the website or services, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
This indemnity covers matters such as claims that material you provided to us infringes the rights of a third party, claims arising from your misuse of the services, and claims arising from unauthorized use of your account.
We will notify you promptly of any claim covered by this indemnity and will give you reasonable control over the defence, provided that we may participate in the defence at our own cost.
These terms apply from the date you first use the website or engage our services, and continue until the engagement is completed or the agreement is terminated in accordance with this section.
Either party may terminate a specific engagement by giving written notice if the other party commits a material breach that is not remedied within thirty days of written notice describing the breach.
Upon termination, you must pay all fees for work performed up to the date of termination, and each party must return or destroy the confidential information of the other party. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including confidentiality, limitation of liability, and indemnification, will survive.
We may suspend the provision of services, in whole or in part, where the client fails to pay amounts due, where the client breaches these terms, where continued work would violate law, or where we reasonably believe that our systems or data are at risk.
We will give the client reasonable notice of a suspension wherever practical, and we will restore services promptly once the reason for the suspension has been resolved.
A suspension does not relieve the client of its payment obligations for work already performed, and it does not extend delivery deadlines unless we agree in writing.
Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, pandemics, government action, power failure, or failures of public telecommunications networks.
The party affected by such an event will give notice to the other party as soon as reasonably possible and will use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as circumstances permit.
If the force majeure event continues for more than sixty days, either party may terminate the affected engagement by written notice, and the client will pay for all work performed up to the date of termination.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The laws of Hong Kong govern the interpretation and enforcement of these terms.
Each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong for the resolution of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms.
If you are located in a jurisdiction where mandatory law requires a different governing law, those mandatory provisions will apply to the extent required, and the remainder of these terms will continue to apply.
Before commencing any legal proceeding, the parties will use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiation between senior representatives. Either party may initiate negotiations by written notice describing the dispute.
If the dispute is not resolved within thirty days of that notice, the parties may agree to refer the matter to mediation in Hong Kong before a mediator of their choice. Participation in mediation is voluntary unless the parties agree otherwise.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or interim relief from a court to protect its rights or to prevent harm while a dispute is being resolved.
If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
A failure by either party to exercise a right or to insist on performance of an obligation will not operate as a waiver of that right or obligation, and a single waiver will not operate as a continuing waiver.
Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party granting it to be effective. The rights and remedies in these terms are cumulative and do not exclude any other rights or remedies available at law.
These terms, together with any proposal, statement of work, or written agreement that we issue for a specific engagement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter of the services.
These terms supersede all prior discussions, representations, and agreements, whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter. Any variations to these terms must be in writing and signed by both parties to be effective.
In the event of a conflict between these terms and a specific statement of work, the statement of work will govern for that engagement, except where these terms address matters of liability, intellectual property, confidentiality, or indemnification.
We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, changes in the law, or changes in our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the website or by email.
Changes to these terms apply to new engagements and to continued use of the website from the effective date of the change. For engagements already in progress, the terms in effect when that engagement was agreed will continue to apply unless we both agree otherwise in writing.
Your continued use of the website or the services after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by law.
If you have any questions about these terms, or if you wish to discuss a potential engagement, please contact our team. The developer of these services is InkCore, and the operating company is INK Construction Limited.
Our registered office address is Rm B2 32/F LEGEND TWR, 7 SHING YIP ST, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong (HK). The contact person is Hao Jiahua.
