Sets out the content, form and usage boundaries of information resource services such as market intelligence, policy interpretation and directory compilations.
Information resource services include, without limitation: market and policy intelligence reports, trade corridor and demand lists, compilations of entity and qualification directories, and customised information retrieval and organisation. Deliverables take the form of electronic documents, structured data files or online queries.
Content marked "not measured", "estimated" or "projected" consists of technical estimation based on available data; the Platform states the estimation method and data sources in the deliverable.
Users shall treat information reports as one input to decision-making and verify independently against official channels, professional advice and their own due diligence. Matters involving administrative permits, qualifications or carbon rights are governed solely by the official position of the competent authority.
The purpose of information reports is the organisation and presentation of information; they do not constitute investment, legal or tax advice and the Platform is not liable for the commercial outcome of decisions Users take based on them.
"Platform" means the website, applications, interfaces and all related services provided by the operator; "User" means any natural person, legal person or unincorporated organization that accesses or uses the Services; "Services" means all products and business publicly offered and orderable on the Platform.
Terms such as "matched pair", "resource package", "data package", "membership benefit" and "information report" shall have the scope and quantities stated on the corresponding pages of the Platform.
By browsing, registering, placing an order, making a payment, calling an interface or otherwise using the Services, the User is deemed to have fully read, understood and agreed to this Agreement and the related rules published on the Platform. Those who do not agree shall immediately stop using the Services.
This Agreement takes effect on the date the User first uses the Services and remains in force until the account is closed or the Platform terminates the Services in accordance with this Agreement. The Platform may update this Agreement in line with business and legal requirements; updates take effect upon publication.
The User shall have the legal capacity appropriate to the transactions concerned. A User acting for a legal person or unincorporated organization warrants that it is duly authorized and is responsible for all acts of that entity.
The User shall provide true, accurate, complete and valid identity and entity information and shall update it promptly upon change. The User bears the consequences of untrue, outdated or incomplete information; the Platform may verify information and refuse or suspend the Services accordingly.
Prices, billing units and validity periods of the Services are those displayed on the corresponding Platform page at the moment of ordering. The Platform may adjust prices in accordance with law; adjustments do not affect orders already concluded and paid.
The User shall pay in the manner designated by the Platform and quote the order number when paying. For bank transfers, the amount and time actually credited to the Platform account shall govern; remittance charges, foreign-exchange losses and overseas bank fees are borne by the User.
If payment is not made in full within the agreed period, the Platform may cancel the order or suspend delivery. Service fees are non-refundable once delivered, unless mandatory law provides otherwise or the parties agree in writing.
The Platform issues invoices or receipts in accordance with law based on amounts actually received. The User shall provide an accurate title, tax identification number and delivery method; re-issuance costs caused by incorrect User information shall be borne by the User.
Each party bears the taxes it is legally required to pay. In cross-border transactions, where withholding is required by law, the Platform may deduct the relevant tax from amounts payable and provide the User with a tax payment certificate.
Data products are delivered by a one-time download token, exclusive link or encrypted delivery package generated by the Platform. Tokens and links are for the ordering entity only and may not be sublicensed, resold or publicly disclosed.
Delivery completion constitutes acceptance. The User shall raise any written objection within five business days of receipt; failure to do so constitutes acceptance of the delivery as conforming. Inability to read the deliverables caused by the User’s own devices, network or environment does not constitute a delivery defect.
Platform data comes from public sources, licensed data sources and the Platform’s own collection and processing. The Platform indicates the source and licence on the data page (e.g. government open data, ODbL, CC0) and provides access under the applicable licence terms.
The User acknowledges that some data consists of technical aggregation and indexing of public information and that the Platform does not warrant its original accuracy; where official sources are authoritative, the User shall verify independently. The Platform does not issue, act as agent for, or hold on trust any carbon allowance, environmental right or government permit.
Each party represents and warrants to the other that it is duly organized and validly existing, has obtained all internal authorizations and external approvals required to enter into and perform this Agreement, and that such entry into and performance do not breach applicable law or its commitments to others.
The Platform provides the Services on an "as is" and "as available" basis and will use reasonable commercial efforts to keep them continuous and stable. The Platform gives no warranty against interruption, error or loss caused by third-party data, third-party systems or factors beyond its control.
Where direct loss to the User is caused by the Platform’s own fault, the Platform’s liability is limited to the fees the User has actually paid for the matter in dispute. The Platform is not liable for indirect or consequential loss such as lost profits, lost opportunities or data replacement costs.
The User shall indemnify and hold harmless the Platform and its affiliates against claims, penalties or losses arising from the User’s breach of law, this Agreement or Platform rules, or its infringement of third-party rights.
This Agreement remains in force from its effective date until the parties’ rights and obligations are fully performed or it is terminated in accordance with its terms. Membership and subscription services run from the start and end dates stated in the order; rights automatically end if not renewed on expiry.
The Platform may suspend or terminate the Services without liability in any of the following cases: material breach by the User of this Agreement or Platform rules; provision of false information or fraudulent conduct; request by a competent authority; or termination, bankruptcy or liquidation of the User.
Termination does not affect rights and obligations accrued before termination, nor the survival of confidentiality, intellectual property ownership, limitation of liability and dispute resolution provisions.
The Platform may send notices to the User via on-site messages, the order page, email, SMS or other means it deems appropriate. A notice is deemed served when sent to the contact details provided at registration or order, or subsequently updated by the User.
The User shall keep its contact details true, valid and up to date. Failure to receive a notice due to incorrect, invalid or un-updated contact details constitutes valid service, and the User bears the consequences.
The formation, validity, interpretation, performance and dispute resolution of this Agreement are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China (excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the laws of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, China).
Disputes arising from this Agreement shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation; failing that, either party may bring an action before the competent people’s court at the place where the Platform operator is domiciled. During dispute resolution, the parties shall continue to perform the provisions unaffected by the dispute.
The Chinese version of this Agreement prevails, with the English version as a reference translation. Other language versions are provided solely for convenience and do not vary the Chinese version.
In case of ambiguity, omission or conflict between the Chinese version and any other language version, the Chinese version prevails; translation errors in any language do not affect the validity of the Chinese version.
